The university's'supercomputer'center givena national role

The university has beenselected by the NationalScience Foundation (NSF)to be one of four nationalcenters for the study of

scientific computing, and will receiveNSF and other funding to build a super-fast computer which will be made avail-able to scientists all over the campusthrough the university's new Center forTheory and Simulation in Science andEngineering. Cornell will also conductresearch aimed at the development ofeven more powerful computers, shoot-ing for speeds up to 1,000 times fasterthan existing "supercomputers."

Advanced computing power has be-come as important to today's scientistsas particle accelerators and other expen-sive experimental equipment, accordingto Prof. Kenneth G. Wilson, the Nobellaureate who is director of the universi-ty's Theory Center. Wilson believesfaster computers will lead to majorbreakthroughs in many areas of science("A Supercomputer for Cornell?" De-cember 1983 Alumni News.)

The new computers will also be usedto improve computer simulations of pro-cesses in the real world, such as the be-havior of subatomic particles, the air-flow over aerodynamic surfaces, or themovement of weather systems. Withpresent computers such simulations areoften imperfect, because they must useshortcuts. Barker predicts that with su-percomputers, "simulation will ap-proach reality." For instance, presentcomputers can simulate airflow over awing in two dimensions; a supercompu-

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

ter could do it in three, and draw movingpictures of the result in color.

Simulation has important uses in in-dustry as well as science. An industrialassociates program will allow corpora-tions to take part in Theory Centerresearch.

Cornell's Program of Computer Gra-phics, directed by Prof. Donald P.Greenberg '55, Architecture, will workclosely with the Theory Center("Mother, May I?" April 1973 News.)High speed computers may improvecomputer graphics capabilities by a fac-tor of 100 to 1,000, Greenberg says, andin turn, graphics will be essential toolsfor using supercomputers. "Supercom-puters will generate enough data to fillan office in minutes," he says. "Youcannot understand and respond to thatmuch information quickly, unless youcommunicate through graphics."

Researchers will be able to watch com-plicated computer simulations in "realtime" as the calculations are made, heexplains, and will use pictures to com-municate with the computer and alterthe simulation.

The other three groups of institutionsnamed by NSF to be national computingcenters are the University of Illinois; aconsortium of eighteen universities andother institutions based at the Universityof California, San Diego; and the newly-formed John Von Neumann Center nearPrinceton, New Jersey, to be operatedby a consortium of twelve other univer-sities, including several Ivies.

The four centers were chosen fromtwenty-two applicants, and will workclosely together as research progresses.Together they will receive $200 millionover five years from NSF. Cornell ex-pects to receive $7 to 13 million a year;matching funds from New York Stateand from corporate donors will approxi-mately double the NSF grant. The larg-est corporate donor is IBM, which willinstall and maintain a top-of-the-linemainframe computer lease-free.

Cornell's program will be uniqueamong the four in that it will be the onlyone aimed at developing a new type ofsupercomputer based on "parallel pro-cessing." Cornell research will also fo-cus on developing a new programminglanguage to be used by theoretical scien-tists (already under way as the GIBBSproject—see "Cornell's Computer Peo-ple," December 1983 News) and on cre-

ating new computer graphics programsto use with supercomputers.

Kenneth Wilson, the Weeks professorof physics, is director of the TheoryCenter. Ravindra Nath Sudan, the IBMprofessor of engineering, is deputy di-rector. Wilson, Sudan, and Kenneth M.King, vice provost for computing, havebeen named the three "principal investi-gators" for supercomputer research.

William L. Schrader '74 will be executivedirector for the center, managing itsfinancial affairs and working with cor-porate sponsors.

According to Alison A. Brown, Grad,director of networking and experimentalcomputing for the Theory Center, thefirst phase of the supercomputer pro-gram will be the assembly of a "produc-tion supercomputer facility" (PSF),consisting of an IBM 3084 QX main-frame computer serving as "host" forsix high-speed array processors manu-factured by Floating Point Systems ofBeaverton, Oregon. An array processoris a special computer designed for high-speed "number crunching"; connectingthem in parallel provides a great increasein speed because each processor canwork on a different part of the problemat the same time. The mainframe willserve as a sort of traffic director for thesystem.

Computer speed is measured in "meg-aflops," or millions of floating point op-erations per second. According to ViceProvost King, the IBM computer aloneworks at about 10 to 15 megaflops; thePSF will have a speed of around 300megaflops, or about three-quarters asfast as the fastest computers availabletoday. The PSF is expected to be on-linelate this year, and will become part ofTheorynet, a computer network that willlink scientists in many disciplines takingpart in the Theory Center.

Theorynet is already in operation, us-ing several VAX minicomputers and anexperimental parallel machine consistingof eight smaller array processors do-nated by Floating Point Systems,"hosted" by a Digital EquipmentVAX 11/750 minicomputer. That systemoperates at about 100 megaflops, accor-ding to King. Theorynet users oncampus will be linked by a part of ahigh-speed fiber optics communicationsystem to be installed this summer foruse by all of Cornell's computer and tel-ephone users.

Along with the PSF, Brown says, Cor-nell will design and build an experimen-tal machine with at least sixty-four andperhaps 128 processors (of a type yet tobe determined) connected in parallel.Wilson hopes this machine will have aspeed measured in billions of operationsper second, or "gigaflops." It will be aresearch vehicle for the hardware andsoftware needed for parallel processing,but when it's ready—hoped for by thefall of 1986—it will also be linked toTheorynet. Scientists using the machinewill be helping to develop the radicallynew software it will need.

The ultimate goal, perhaps anothertwo years down the line, is to expand theparallel machine to 4,096 parallel pro-cessors. Such a computer would have aspeed of 40,000 megaflops, or 40 giga-flops—about 1,000 times faster than thefastest computers now in use. Funding isnot yet available for this machine. Ac-cording to Brown, the processors willcost about $500,000 to $750,000 each.

Although the experimental parallelmachines will be designed for scientificuse, Wilson and other proponents saythe parallel processing technology willspin off quickly and profitably to thecommercial computer industry. Conven-tional supercomputers, they explain, gettheir speed from careful handcraftingthat locates parts close together, mini-mizing the time it takes electrical signalsto move from place to place. Parallelmachines, they say, won't have the samerequirement for precision and could bemass produced at low cost.

Provost Robert Barker commentedthat the new computer will make the uni-versity more attractive to faculty mem-bers and graduate students, and willbring to the campus from 100 to 200more visiting scientists each year. It's al-so hoped the research will spawn newhigh-tech industry in Upstate New York.

He joined the faculty in 1935, foundedthe Department of Art History, was itschairman from 1939 until 1961, and re-tired in 1972. He was active as an archae-ologist in major expeditions to Greeceand the Near East in the 1930s.

Prof. John H. Sherry, Hotel Adminis-tration, emeritus, an international au-thority on the laws of innkeeping, diedDecember 26, 1984. He was 83 years old.Sherry practiced law in New York City,but traveled to Ithaca once a week toteach law courses, never missing a classin forty-three years. The Hotel schoolestablished a scholarship fund in hishonor when he retired in 1980. His text-book, The Laws of Innkeepers, is usedby most universities and colleges that of-fer degrees in hotel administration.

The university administration is plan-ning to expand the responsibilities of thechief of admissions to include academic*'support services," including the stu-dent Career Center, Learning SkillsCenter for remedial work, COSEP forminority students, and the universityregistrar, who maintains studentrecords. All offices, along with admis-sions and financial aid, will report to theprovost through a dean of admissionsand academic services. The director of

COSEP will also report directly to theprovost.

The admissions post is vacant sinceJames Scannell left for a job at the U ofRochester that has broader duties thanthe previous Cornell post, which em-braced only admissions and financialaid. The former provost, W. Keith Ken-nedy, PhD '47, is acting dean of admis-sions and financial aid.

Carl Sagan, the Duncan professor ofastronomy and space sciences, has re-ceived the 1985 Award of Physicians forSocial Responsibility. He was cited as a"distinguished scientist and eloquentguide [who] alerted the world to thepotential ecological cataclysm that lieswaiting in our nuclear arsenals."

Building footnotesOne building not to be found in oursummary in this issue of recent and pro-posed construction on campus is a park-ing garage for Hoy Field. The idea wasfloated a year ago, but shot down byfaculty and union objections about theway to pay for it. Such a building is notout of the administration's mind, nor is

it definite enough to make our cata-logue.

Facing for the new Center for Perfor-ming Arts is to be 2x3/2 -foot gray andwhite limestone blocks, with intermedi-ate courses of smooth-faced gray bricks.Taken together with the expected stoneface of Eddygate Park apartments onDryden Road, these will provide a mea-sure of continuity with the campus andthe stone facing of Cascadilla, Hughes,and Myron Taylor halls leading up tothe campus.

Laing Kennedy '63, director of athlet-ics, reported early in the semester thathis department has raised nearly $10 mil-lion of the $14.5 million needed to buildthe multi-purpose fieldhouse describedin our article, and due to be built on theparking lot east of Lynah Rink.

In addition to a $350,000 servicebuilding for its operation, Cornell Plan-tations writes in its latest newsletter ofthe need for a combination visitor centerand administration and research build-ing, on a site tentatively selected as theintersection of Judd Falls and Towerroads.

Theta, on the other hand, reorganizedin 1980, and has renovated the formerTheta Chi house. Theta was the first sor-ority at Cornell, in 18.81, but disbandedin 1965.

Psi Upsilon, long one of the strongestfraternities on the Hill, lost the use of itsuniversity-owned chapter house on cam-pus and its national charter, but has re-organized and received its charter back.Eleven undergraduates are members, liv-ing together in a house on Dryden Road,looking for a larger interim home nextyear, with hopes of returning to theirformer chapter house on Forest ParkLane in the fall of 1986.

Research: the dangerof one big meal

Eating one large meal a day instead ofseveral small ones may promote cancerof the colon, according to studies beingconducted by Prof. Michael Kazarinoff,PhD '75, Nutrition. His studies with ratsalso indicate that while low protein dietsmay offer some protection from cancerof the liver, the same diet may promotethe likelihood of cancer of the colon.

Nutrition and diet have long been sus-pected of influencing the process of can-cer. Epidemiological studies have shownthat people from countries with differ-ent types of diets suffer from differentkinds of cancer.

"The overall cancer rate around theworld and over time, however, excludinglung cancer caused by tobacco smoking,is essentially constant," Kazarinoffpointed out in an interview. "One kindof diet may just shift the location of can-cer from one tissue site to another."

Kazarinoff has been studyng ornithi-nine decarboxylase (ODC), an enzymethat appears to be a good indicator fordetecting tumor growth. ODC levelsrose when rats were exposed to a tumorpromoter or fed after a period of starva-tion, but the ODC levels doubled whenboth the tumor promoter and feeding af-ter starvation were combined, suggestingthat the dietary pattern of fasting andfeeding may be more important thanspecific nutrients.

"For the past 100 years or so, manyAmericans have been consuming abouthalf their day's calories at one meal, usu-ally dinner. This kind of dietary prac-tice—a modified gorging/starvation cy-cle—could contribute to colon cancer,"Kazarinoff speculates. He cautions,however, that his research is done withrats and that drawing conclusions forhumans is not always valid and accurate.

Women's special view

If traditional anthropological descrip-tions of a society took into accountwomen's views, notes Prof. KathrynMarch, Anthropology and Women'sStudies, the characterization of that so-ciety would be quite different. Since

1977 anthropologist March has beenstudying the Tamang women of high-land Nepal. She has found that womenare not constrained only by men's rules.Tamang women also define themselvesand their own life system.

Her research involves revising the wayanthropologists judge communities' per-ceptions of sex differences. "In everycultural system we know," she ex-plained, "people make a great dealabout sex differences. These differences,and the way they affect our behavior,are important and complex." She hasfound that these abstract ideas andbeliefs about gender affect the way in-dividuals perceive themselves, theirbehavior, and their accomplishments.

Tamang narratives and songs are animportant part of March's study, TheWords and Worlds of Tamang Women.One such song advises:

If you go in marriagewith a northern man,all that you Ίlspend your time doing isspinning at the spinning wheel.

If you go in marriagewith a southern man,all that you Ίlspend your time doing iswinnowing and cullingthrough frayed gossip.

If you go in marriagewith a village headman,all that your many guestswill ever leave for you to eat arethe bones and gristle.

Plasma is a fully ionized low densitygas found in the ionosphere, a layeredshell fifty to 300 miles above the Earth.Although most of the Earth's atmos-phere lies below it, the ionosphereseethes with electrical and magnetic ac-tivity. By tracking and photographingsounding rockets fired into the ionos-phere, the scientists hoped to learn moreabout the hot unstable plasmas.

A number of individual stars emerged asthe winter season neared its close, someof them veterans and some definitelynewcomers. (See below and page 72 forteam results.)

Kenneth Bantum '85, the 6-7 centeron the basketball team, was having astellar senior year. By mid-February heranked tenth nationally in field goalshooting percentage among college play-ers, at 62.7 per cent, just behind such bignames as Patrick Ewing of Georgetownand Mark Alarie of Duke. He surpriseda lot of people by making the all-tournament team at the Rainbow Classicin Hawaii in December against top-college foes, and has had a lot to do withthe revival of basketball fortunes on theHill. He became the second highestscorer in Cornell history before the endof the season, passing Chuck Rolles '56and trailing only Mike Davis '80.

Birgit Zeeb '85 was preparing to finishup her young career as a gymnast, com-ing back from an early-season injury towin all-around honors in the five dualmeets that followed. She holds Cornellrecords in every event, from all-aroundthrough the four specialities, vaulting,uneven bars, balance beam, and floorexercise, is two-time state champion andhas won four Ivy League titles. Neithershe nor the other graduating seniors,Karen Walsh and Mara Horwitz, plan tocontinue competing. The sport is foryoungsters like Mary Lou Retton ofOlympic fame, they say. Walsh inspiredthe team with her comeback from seri-ous injury as a sophomore, and Horwitzas a competitor and cheerleader.

Ursula Kurman '87 is in her secondyear of leading the women's swim teamin performance. As a freshman she wonthe Carolyn Burney Award as the mostvaluable member of the team, and thisyear at age 17 already holds seven indi-vidual Cornell records, including the200, 500, and 1,000-yard freestyle, 800freestyle relay, and the 200 and 400 indi-vidual medleys and the 400 medley relay.

She was a state champion in Illinois atage 12, and her coaches think she has yetto reach her peak.

A junior and two freshmen are play-ing key roles in the sparkling year of themen's hockey team, wing Pete Natyshak'86, center Joe Nieuwendyk '88, andgoalie Doug Dadswell '88. Natyshakslumped last year but has been a leaderon the team's top-scoring line, withtwenty-nine points through early Febru-ary, equally the production of his entirefreshman and sophomore years. Nieu-wendyk centers the top line, betweenNatyshak and John Wilson '85, was topscorer on the team, and is alreadyviewed as a pro prospect. Dadswell wasin goal for nearly every game, includingall in the Red's mid-season win streak.

The men's gymnastics team was doingwell as a team. After scoring 204.25against Cortland State, the first200-point night for a Cornell team, itscoach, Phil Rach, said, "All the recordsfell not because we had a good day [but]because this is the best men's gymnasticsteam that Cornell has ever had." BruceSonnenfeld '87 led the way with the bestindividual score ever by a Cornellian,52.85 in the all-around. Dave Feeney '86had 51.5; Matt Butcher '85, 50.05; and anumber of other team and event recordswere broken.

Pat Welch '85 continued unbeaten at150 pounds in wrestling as the seasonneared an end, aiming to defend his titlein the Easterns early last month.

Chris Chrysostomou '85 was unde-feated in dual competition in the triplejump for the men's track team, and in ameet with Maryland won the long jump,for the second week in a row. Others onthe team with win streaks were MikeHazen '86, four in a row in the polevault, and Todd Pressley '86, three inthe 400-meter dash.

Restore the dream.The Statue of Liberty was their first image of America. It was apromise of a better life, a symbol of hope and freedom. And theimmigrant parents of new generations of Americans, throughdetermination and sacrifice, honored that image by helping tobuild the nation, enrich our culture, sustain the dream.

Now the Statue of Liberty, "the lamp beside the goldendoor — and the door itself, Ellis Island — demand our attentionand deserve our help. Timeworn and weather-beaten afterdecades of service, these monuments to the dreams of our fore-bears are the concern of The Statue of Liberty — Ellis IslandFoundation restoration project. And that is why TIME Maga-zine, an Official Sponsor of the project, is contributing its mostvaluable resource: the power to communicate.

Through a program called the Forum for Freedom, TIMEwill donate eighteen full pages of advertising space in the maga-zine to help raise funds for the project. Recently a letter fromJohn A. Meyers, Publisher of TIME, invited the chief executiveofficers of U.S. advertising agencies to focus their creative andpersuasive powers in this effort.

The advertisements these agencies design will be submittedto TIME, and eighteen of them will be selected to run in the fullNational Edition of the magazine over a period of a year and a half.

In this way, TIME's Forum for Freedom will harness thecountry's most talented advertising practitioners in support ofthis country's most esteemed ideals. The results, TIME believes,will bring honor to all concerned.

On peace

Editor: In your September issue you ac-quainted your readers with the fact thatCornell is out front among US universi-ties in its Peace Studies program. Nowwe learn that eminent Cornellians aremaking a significant contribution to oneimportant aspect of what may be called"war studies." I refer to the publicationin October of a small book entitled TheFallacy of Star Wars: Why Space Weap-ons Can *t Protect Us.

The principal author of this work isKarl Gottfried, Cornell professor ofphysics and nuclear studies. Gottfried isone of the nine members of the Union ofConcerned Scientists' Panel on BallisticMissile Defense and one of the ten mem-bers of the union's Panel on Anti-Satel-lite Weapons. Two of the other membersof both panels are also Cornell scientists:Hans Bethe, professor of physicsemeritus and Nobel laureate in physics,and Carl Sagan, professor of astronomyand space sciences.

These eminent Cornell scientists andtheir colleagues tell us why they thinkthat the Space War idea won't work andis in fact a hazard to our present precari-ous peace. Of course, there are scientistswho hold a different view; but I havebeen brought to believe, and do believe,that Cornell is highly respected in mostor all scientific fields. I therefore believethat Cornell scientists deserve to belistened to carefully in the current andupcoming debates on what is perhapsthe most critical of all issues before theworld's statesmen. They have laid outtheir views in plain English, supportedby scientific analyses.

Some of your readers may perhapsfeel that this is a political, or a nationalsecurity matter, not suitable for mentionin the columns of the Alumni News. Butas anyone can see who reads the book,the subject needs to be discussed aboveand beyond the level of politics, or clas-sified information.

If Professors Gottfried, Bethe, andSagan and their colleagues are faulty intheir science, or in the inferences theydraw from their science, they should beshot down on that basis, but only afterthe arguments have been carefully dis-cussed, in the executive and legislativebranches of government, and in publicfora.

ayu A VOYAGE TO ANTIQUITYThe Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean

October 22-November 6, 1985

Few lands can equal those of the Near East for the marvels of antiquity they possess, or for the interplay ofcultures ancient and modern that await the curious traveler. In this CAU study tour, the treasures of Israel,Egypt, and Jordan will be yours to explore as we journey by sea aboard the luxury ship Illiria and by land.

Led by Cornell archaeologist David Owen and Islamicist David Powers, we will travel from Pireaus, via Crete, toJerusalem, Jericho, Bethlehem, Masada, the Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai, Petra in Jordan, and toLuxor, Cairo, and Giza. Whether visiting sites indelibly connected to the history of Judaism, Christianity, orIslam, or examining the monuments of Pharoanic civilization, we are certain you will appreciate this opportunityto combine the rewards of learning with the comforts of well-planned travel.

"CORNELL.. .A SECOND LOOK"—booklet of ar-ticles by Josephine B. McMeen '36 published inThe Daily News, Huntingdon, PA 16652. $3 percopy from The Daily News.

Full photo of the 1892 football team, apart of which appeared on page 38 ofthe October 1984 issue, and broughttentative identification of several of theplayers in a letter in last month's issue.See Etcetera below for furtheridentification.

the Cornell Daily Sun, plays flute, andbelongs to the film club. She plans tostudy film in France next year. She is thedaughter of Sarah Pratt Davis-King '68and Peter Pulsts '62, and the grand-daughter of Terrace Morgan Pratt '31and Prof. Arthur J. Pratt '26, PhD '33,vegetable crops, emeritus.

Lisa is from Bridgeport, Connecticut,and Tammy from Ithaca originally.

We report in this issue on the serviceof George Peter on the Executive Com-mittee of the university's Board ofTrustees. Unless we're mistaken, this isalso the first year since faculty membersbegan attending and serving on theboard that they have not been a part ofits Executive Committee. President Ja-cob Gould Schurman won them non-voting seats and attendance at meetingsof the Executive Committee early in thecentury, as a counterbalance to thestranglehold "the Ithaca crowd" hadheld on that influential body.

He thought there were many good rea-sons to acquaint trustees with the ideasof faculty members. Cornell led the wayin US higher education in this regard.Only time will tell whether faculty con-tinue to have as much influence on theCornell board, after the full effect of re-cent reorganization is felt.

When Thomas D. Kelley '31 wrote inlast month's issue to identify his fatherand one other player in a picture of the1892 varsity football team, we did nothave a copy of the full print to repro-

duce. Now we do, and can add to the in-formation Kelley provided.

In the picture, which appears else-where on this page, the following playersare identifiable (based on a smallergroup picture in the 1894 Cornellian):

Top row, fifth from left, George R.Harvey '93, and, seventh, Kelley's fa-ther, William V. Kelley Jr. '93.

Second row from the top, fourth tosixth from left, Charles L. Brown '95,Nathaniel C. Robbins '95, and GeorgeF. Wagner '93.

Third row from the top, secondthrough fifth from left, Greely S. Curtis'95, Ellis A. Griffith '93, Elbert A. Brus-sel '93, and Rolland H. White '93; andeighth and ninth, Edwin P. Young '94and Glenn S. (Pop) Warner '94.Young's alumni brothers and sister wereWilliam '93, Prof. C.V.P. '99, physicaleducation; George H. '00, and CarrieV.P. '03.

Fourth row from the top, secondthrough sixth from left, George P. With-erbee '93, Winchester D. Osgood '92,Carl M. Johanson '92, the captain andcoach; Bert Hanson, '93, manager; andCharles J. Barr '93.

And in front, as nearly we can tell,Charles (Pop) Courtney, the rowingcoach and likely trainer of the footballteam.

Mary Wright Harvey '14 writes to sug-gest, "It would be interesting if theNews of the Classes could contain ashort section for us, who are now beforethe separate classes." We must not havepublicized the fact well enough, but foralumni who belong to classes that do notsubmit regular columns, Associate Edi-tor Elsie McMillan '55 and Assistant Ed-itor Jeannette Knapp prepare items thatwe publish.

A third of a billion's worth of constructionlooms for the campus community

Buildingoom

By Jeremy Schlosberg

The wall-sized map of the Cornell cam-pus in the Campus Planning Office hasthe measles—or so it appears after LewisRoscoe is through with it one snowymorning in February. Seeking to depictthe building explosion about to hit theHill, campus planner Roscoe, armedwith a phalanx of red sticker dots, hasspent the last hour and a half markingon the map, and annotating, those loca-tions currently awaiting or already un-dergoing construction. Before he canfinish, he runs out of red dots.

Is this normal collegiate growth, onehas to wonder, or is Cornell undergoingsome kind of boom? Roscoe glances atthe spotted wall and smiles. "It seems tobe a boom."

The impending rush to renovate, re-model, and erect is a response, says Ros-coe, to a perceived need "to upgradeand modernize, and respond to today'stechnology—rather than a response toincreasing enrollment.''

Lest the dots on the wall give the ap-pearance of anarchy, Roscoe shows offa staff hard at work on new Campus De-velopment Guidelines, due out thisspring, aimed at providing a comprehen-sive, analytical view of the campus's cur-rent state and how and where it might befurther developed. The guidelines willhelp "make things happen, in the rightway," says Roscoe. That, in any case, isthe theory.

What follows is the reality: those proj-

ects that have advanced, to one degreeor another, beyond the whimsical intothe realm of the possible, the probable,and the definite. Whether or not all for-ty materialize in the months and years tocome, the Cornell campus is not likely tobe the same when the dust settles. (Thenumber in parentheses corresponds to aplace on the campus map on pages 28and 29.)

Already Completed

Four building projects are going into usethis year, on and near campus. Two areamong the largest to go up in recentyears, the $10.9 million Snee Hall for thegeological sciences, and the $10 millionAcademic II (25) of the statutory col-leges, which will house the Departmentof Entomology, Introductory Biology,and the administrative unit in thestatutory colleges known as Media Ser-vices.

Snee Hall (41), named in honor ofWilliam Snee '24, was dedicated in Oc-tober and reported in the December 1984Alumni News.

The third amendment to the physicalplant is DeFrees Hydraulics Laboratory(39), a $700,000 addition to HollisterHall, along Central Avenue facing theLaw School. The building is named forthe late Joseph H. DeFrees '29. Thebuilding contains a 105-foot-long wavetank, an 80-foot hydraulic tilting flume

for the study of turbulence and prob-lems of sediment transport, and an80-foot wind-water tunnel to study theinteraction of air and water.

Kappa Alpha Theta sorority (45) re-turned to campus this semester with ahouse of its own, the renovated formerchapter house of Theta Chi fraternity onStewart Avenue.

In Progress

Co-generation of Electric Power andSteam at the Central Heating Plant (34).A project costing $5.4 million, sched-uled for completion in late 1986. Fundswill come from savings in the cost ofenergy.

Co-generation refers to using the pres-sure created in producing steam for cam-pus heating to produce electricity aswell, thereby saving money. The first oftwo generators should be on line by thisfall, the second by the fall of '86.

Goldwin Smith and Rockefeller halls,Arts and Sciences (7, 8). Renovations,$6.9 million, scheduled for completionthis summer, with funds from the uni-versity and fundraising.

This six-year project is near comple-tion; $5.9 million of the original budgethas now been spent. Remaining renova-tions involve the first floor of Rockefel-ler Hall and a number of smaller touchesin Goldwin Smith. The last million dol-

lars, however, are not yet assured. "It 'sstill an open question," says Jack Lowe'56, director of admissions and financefor the College of Arts and Sciences."We'll do whatever we can with thefunds we get."

Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, HumanEcology (14). Renovation in fourphases, at $2 million per phase; sched-uled completion: 1988; funds from NewYork State.

The renovation of mammoth MarthaVan that will bring the entire building tobuilding code compliance, focusing onthe upgrading of the heating, ventila-tion, and air conditioning systems.Phase I, involving the center wing, isnearly finished; phase II is now in prog-ress in the west wing. East wing renova-tion, phase III, is in the planning stage,while phase IV, involving the nurserywing, auditorium, and amphitheater,will get to the drawing board in late1986, according to Statutory FacilitiesCoordinator Herbert Pallesen '52.

Microkelvin Lab, Department of Phy-sics (9). Underground constructionsouth of Clark Hall, at $843,000, sched-

uled for completion this spring, withfunds from various university sources.

New equipment for this addition toCornell's Low Temperature Laboratorywill cost an extra $1 million.

Committed

Academic I, Agriculture and Life Sci-ences (16). A new building estimated tocost $12 million; construction schedule

APRIL 1985

from late '85 to early or mid-'88, withfunds from the state.

This will include an auditorium, din-ing areas, and offices for Agriculture'sadministration, Cooperative Extension,Communication Arts, Education, andLandscape Architecture.

The aging Ag Quad is in for a bigshake-up in the second half of the '80s.Stone Hall will be the first to go; itsdemolition is a prerequisite for Academ-ic Γs construction. Design is essentiallycomplete, bid documents are beingdrawn, and work is expected to start latethis year. Like Stone before them, Rob-erts and East Roberts halls are due todisappear once Academic I is completed.

Comstock Hall, Department of Tele-communications (15). Renovation andaddition at a projected budget of $6 to 7million, to be paid for from a gift,charges for use of utilities, and possibleother sources.

A one-story addition to the originalComstock (dating from this century'ssecond decade) has already come andgone, having been demolished in Janu-ary. The new addition will be three stor-ies, and will be part of a buildingdestined to be Cornell's telecommunica-tions center, housing a system that willlink some 11,000 telephones and thou-sands of computers throughout campus.The Entomology department, formerlyhoused in Comstock, is in the process ofmoving south down Garden Avenue tothe recently completed Academic II.Once it has packed up and left, renova-tion of the rest of Comstock will begin.

McFadden and Mennen halls, dormitor-ies (46). Renovation estimated at $1.5 to2 million, with construction betweenJune and August '85. Funds from roomcharges.

These renovations, which will provideincreased common room spaces(lounges, kitchenettes, and television,typing, and music practice rooms), arepart of "the ongoing process of renova-tion of our older buildings," accordingto William Paleen, director of ResidenceLife. A feasibility study is now in pro-gress for the University Halls (see "An-nounced" below), on which majorrenovations are being planned.

Center for Performing Arts, Arts andSciences (43). A new building at a cost of$19.5 million including maintenance en-dowment, to be built between this springand the fall of '87, with gifts, furtherfundraising, and university funds.

Work will soon begin on this long-awaited, highly publicized complex,

which will house the Theater Arts de-partment and play host to a variety ofevents in its various performance spaces.The center also figures conspicuously inthe joint private-public effort to rehabil-itate Collegetown (see page 31).

Wilson Synchrotron, Physics (30). Addi-tion and renovation at $1.3 million, withconstruction between spring '85 andspring '86; funds from the National Sci-ence Foundation, the university, andother gifts.

Within Wilson Lab, the Cornell HighEnergy Synchrotron Source (CHESS)—high intensity X-rays used to examineorganic and inorganic materials—hasbeen sorely in need of the increasedspace this addition will provide. Sourceof the highest energy X-rays in theUnited States, CHESS will occupy morethan half of the 10,000 square feet thatwill be added or renovated at Wilson.The synchrotron itself, an accelerator oflarge particles, is used for high-energyphysics.

Announced

Biotechnology Research Center (24). Anew building with a projected budget of$30 million; construction schedule unde-termined, and funds to come $20 millionfrom the state and the balance fromfundraising.

In terms of dollars, this is the singlelargest project currently planned oncampus. Having named Cornell in 1983a "Center for Advanced Technology forBiotechnology in Agriculture," Gover-nor Mario Cuomo this year committed atotal of $20 million in state funds to thecompletion of the new facility. "Thisjoint state-Cornell effort, with matchingcorporate and other non-state funds,will cement the state's competitive posi-tion in the biotechnology research vitalto agriculture and other industries,"wrote Cuomo in his January budgetmessage to the legislators.

Clark Hall, Physics (9). Renovationsestimated at $2 to 3 million, betweenspring and fall '85, with funds fromresearch overhead charges, Clark familygifts, savings in the cost of energy, andother university sources.

The focus of this project is Clark'smechanical systems, energy conserva-tion, and maintenance. In approving abudget increase from $1.3 million inJanuary, the trustees noted that the en-ergy conservation measures to be ef-fected are likely to show a yearly returnof 20 per cent or more.

Upson Hall, Engineering (35). An addi-tion with a cost between $4 and 5.5 mil-lion, to be built between late '85 and ear-ly to mid-'87; funds from private gifts,further fundraising, and other universitysources.

Two floors are proposed for this Engi-neering Quad building; funds are stillbeing sought before construction canbegin.

Stocking Hall, Agriculture and Life Sci-ences (20). An addition and renovation,with a budget over $5 million; with con-struction to begin this summer; andfunds to be provided by the state.

The Stocking Hall addition is de-signed to house a Food Research Labor-atory for the Ag college, in 21-22,000square feet of new space.

Under Discussion

Athletic and Physical Education facili-ties phse I (2, 22, 27, 28, 29). Construc-tion and renovation estimated at $28million including maintenance endow-ment; planned for the late 1980s; withfunds from gifts, further fundraising,and the university.

The stars of Phase I of the Athletic de-partment's program are a $14.5 millionmulti-purpose fieldhouse (22), to bebuilt on what is now a parking lot east ofLynah Rink, and good old Barton Hall(27), which is scheduled to undergo a$5.5 million facelift.

The new fieldhouse will include a200-meter running track, a syntheticplaying surface, and a system of drop-nets to allow indoor practice for base-ball, lacrosse, golf, and track and fieldevents. There will be seating inside for1,500 spectators, and extensive lockerroom areas and showers for men andwomen.

"The whole project is meant to satisfyall four components of athletics—recre-ation, physical education, intercollegiateathletics, and intramurals," says EricDicke, an architect/planner with the

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

Facilities and Business Operations Divi-sion. "It's specifically not just an inter-collegiate center."

Another notable feature of the projectis geography. "There is a commitmenthere to keep athletics in the center ofcampus," says Dicke, pointing to thetrend at many other colleges, both Ivyand otherwise, to place their new athleticfacilities on the campus' loneliest fron-tiers.

Phase Γs $28 million, when raised,will also bring Cornell additional squash(28) and tennis facilities (no siteselected), an upgraded Schoellkopf Fieldand renovated Crescent (29), andupgraded Alumni Fields (2). (For a lookat what Phase II will bring, see the"Longer Term" section, below.)

Law School (40). Renovation and addi-tion to Myron Taylor Hall with a pro-jected budget of $24 million and a con-struction schedule yet to be determined.Funds from fundraising.

A consulting firm hired last year has

completed an assessment of the school'sneeds; funds for the project have begurito be raised. Plans are to add to MyronTaylor for library and faculty officespace, completely renovate utilities, andmake repairs to Hughes Hall, the Lawdormitory.

Lincoln Hall, Arts and Sciences (6).Renovation on a budget yet to be deter-mined, to begin after spring '87, withfund sources as yet undecided.

Once the new Performing Arts Centeris completed, work will begin to trans-form Lincoln Hall, which now housesboth the music and theater departments,into an all-music facility. The project isstill in the "very early stages of plan-ning," says Jack Lowe.

Statler Hall, Hotel Administraton (37).Renovation and addition on a projectedbudget of $20-25 million, with funds tocome from fundraising, and a schedulenot yet set.

Plans here are to renovate both the

Architects' models of Academic I andan addition to Comstock Hall, whichwill increase the building space on theAg quad. The curved roof for anauditorium in Academic I has sincebeen abandoned for one with flatsurfaces. This view of Academic I, atthe corner of Tower Rd. and GardenAve.y looks from the southeast, acrossAlumni Field.

Hotel school and the Statler Inn; a fiftyto sixty guest room addition to the inn isplanned as well. A small but significantpart of the project—the school's$400,000 computer center—has alreadybeen completed; Prof. Richard Penner'68 of the school's Properties Manage-ment department reports that the nextphase, still undetermined, should beginconstruction in the summer of 1986.Comprehensive scheduling awaits fur-ther funds.

Student townhouses. New constructionat $6 million, to be completed by August'86, with funds from the university andrental income. Site not determined atpresent.

While scheduled to provide an imme-diate substitution for a three-year loss ofthe University Halls during planned ren-ovations, these townhouses at NorthCampus are part of a general expansionprogram planned by Residence Life, andwill be designed differently from Cor-nell's traditional dormitories.

Modeled loosely on the "residentialcollege" scheme established in other IvyLeague schools, the new townhouseproject will house 300 students in groupsof four to six. Each living cluster will bea full apartment, with a living room anda kitchen. There will also be a centralbuilding that will serve as a "focal pointof the community," says Paleen.

elude a resident staff person in additionto a faculty-in-residence in the area. At aprojected cost of $20,000 per resident,says Paleen, "it appears to be an affor-dable type of housing," the cost ofwhich can be supported by rentalcharges.

University Halls dormitories (46). Reno-vation at a projected cost of $12 million,between June '86 and fall '89, withfunds from rents.

A feasibility study now being pre-pared will pave the way for a major ren-ovation of all six University Halls. "Theintent is to address the quality of thefacilities and of the general environ-ment," says Paleen.

Plantations Services building (17). Anew building; details not determined.

Savage Hall, Nutritional Sciences (13).An addition and renovation at $6-7million; with design to begin this spring,construction due to be done bySeptember 1987; funds from outsidesources.

The work will provide modern labfacilities and improved program and ad-ministrative space.

Longer Term

Library Annex (32). An addition to theannex now in use at the orchards nearVarna, with a possible budget of $5 to 8million, on a schedule not yet set, withfunds likely from the university budget.

University Librarian Louis Martinsees this project as "one of the most im-portant short-range solutions for ourspace problems." How serious a prob-

lem is space becoming? Martin estimatesthat there are but three to five years ofshelf space left in each of the universitylibraries.

An addition to the Library Annexwould be a "multi-purpose facility,"providing not only storage space butconservation and preservation work-space as well. "And of course," addsMartin, "we would change the name tosomething more glamorous."

Athletic and Physical Education facili-ties phase II (21, 23, 26, 31). New con-struction and renovation of existingbuildings at $20 million. Schedule unde-termined. Funds from gifts and the uni-versity.

New swimming (21) facilities are plan-ned under this phase, in addition torenovations for polo (31), Lynah Rink(23), and Teagle Hall (26).

Bailey Hall (12). Renovation on a sched-ule and budget as yet undetermined,with funds to be sought in part from thestate.

While Roscoe acknowledges the needfor a major Bailey rehabilitation, he saysthat there has not yet been any signifi-cant movement toward that end. Be-cause Bailey is a state-owned buildingwhich is used heavily for university-wideprograms, state funding of the projectrequires more discussion.

Chilled Water Storage Tank, Facilitiesand Engineering department (33). Newconstruction, with no present budget orconstruction dates. Cost recouped fromutilities charges to departments.

"This is really in its infancy," saysHartz, who says that his department is"reviewing the economics" of chilledwater storage, using either a new under-ground storage facility or an outdoor ice

pond. No site has been determined.

Electron Microscope Facility, VeterinaryMedicine (18). A new building withoutbudget or construction schedule at pre-sent. Funds sought from the state andoutside sources.

A master plan of the Vet school is nowunder way, says Herb Pallesen, whichwill detail needs and suggested improve-ments for the entire college. Two proj-ects likely to get to the drawing boardfirst are an Electron Microscope Facilityand a Large Animal Hospital, but noth-ing will be officially proposed before themaster plan is finished.

Engineering "Theory Center," Engi-neering (36). A possible new building,with cost, schedule, and funds all indefi-nite for now.

The "theory center" remains a mys-tery building; Roscoe reports that the"project has not yet been defined in afacilities way"—that is, no one knowswhether it's to be a new building, an ad-dition, a renovation, or what. "It maymean a new building for the Engineeringcollege," says Roscoe, adding that atthis point, the project is most likely to berelated in some way to Phillips Hall, thehome of Electrical Engineering. The the-ory center is discussed further on page 2of this issue.

As part of a master facilities plan forthe College of Engineering now underway, Olin Hall has been surveyed withan eye toward necessary renovation.Preliminary designs are in the works.

Sibley Hall, Architecture, Art, andPlanning (5). Renovation, with detailsundetermined.

Space Sciences Building, Arts and Sci-ences (10). An addition at $2.5 million,with other details unavailable.

"This building was originally builtwith the intent of adding two floors,"says Jack Lowe. According to the

astronomers within, the time for expan-sion has come. A feasibility study hasbeen done, and a preliminary budget de-termined—all they need now is the mon-ey. Lowe is not yet free to reveal poten-tial sources. "We're in the process oftrying to identify those funds," he says.If all goes well, construction could beginwithin a year or so.

Stone Arch Bridge (42). Rehabilitation,with details and dates not settled, andfunds to come from the university.

Cornell has hired a New York Cityconsulting firm to start studying theproblem of the safety of this bridge tocampus from Collegetown. Anticipatedwork will include renovation of the side-walk and roadbed.

Off-Campus

In addition to nearly a third of a billiondollars worth of construction plannedfor the near future on campus, threeother projects off campus claim the at-tention of university officials: newapartments and a parking ramp in Col-legetown, the Cornell Industry ResearchPark northeast of campus near theTompkins County Airport, and a pro-

posed retired faculty housing develop-ment on university farm land in the Vil-lage of Cayuga Heights.

The Eddygate Park Apartments (44)are part of a private-public venture onthe site of the current city parking lot inCollegetown, on Dryden Road betweenEddy Street and College Avenue.

The City of Ithaca will build a parkinggarage at a cost of $1.7 million, withbids due to go out last month, for com-pletion in the fall of 1986. The garagewill be the foundation for a sixty-fourunit building, of two- and three-bed-room apartments, that will cost another$4.8 million. Work is to be finished bythe end of the summer of 1987, withTravis & Travis of Ithaca as the develop-er. Some 6,000 square feet of retailstores will be built along the building'ssouth face on Dryden Road.

The Industry Research Park (3) is a200-acre holding of the university's thatnow claims twenty-eight private anduniversity tenants, occupying buildingsformerly used by General Electric andothers constructed since. A number ofother university departments werehoused there after GE left, and beforespace was made available on campus.

Plots are laid out for prospective ten-ants. The main purpose of the park hasbeen to help new businesses, particularlyhigh-technology businesses that can pro-fit from relationships with Cornell staff.

Most ephemeral of the three projectsis one under discussion for several years,encouraged greatly by a former dean ofthe University Faculty, Prof. ByronSaunders, operations research and in-dustrial engineering, emeritus. Thedream is to build a community of apart-ments for retired people (1), primarilyfaculty members.

The site under serious consideration isthe 120-plus-acre Savage Farm in north-ern Cayuga Heights, between NorthTriphammer Road on the east and Han-shaw Road on the south. William Herb-ster explains that the university isprepared to dispose of the property inwhatever way helps the project become areality, either to a not-for-profit groupof retired professors or to a private de-veloper if necessary.

At the outset, a need for between fif-teen and thirty apartments is estab-lished, but Herbster, the university'ssenior vice president, said the adminis-tration hopes a scheme can be proposedto make use of the entire Savage site.

In the meantime, agricultural experi-ments are carried out on the land, whichis situated in a prime residential area thatis already home to many faculty andstaff of Cornell.

Money, Morals,and the Class of '60Reunion surveyconcludesmost graduatesare well-off,happy, and well

By David H. Ahl '60"I've never seen so many people making$100,000 who couldn't live within theirincome." That was the comment of theNotre Dame graduate student who as-sisted me in entering the 25th Reunionsurvey data of the Class of 1960 into thecomputer. He wasn't far wrong. Aboutone-half of the class say they are easilyliving within their income, but 39% findit difficult, and 11% just can't live with-in their means at all. And their meansare fairly substantial; average annual in-come is about $83,000 and average networth is in excess of $640,000. But,we're getting ahead of ourselves.

The Class of '60 questionnaire formwas mailed to nearly 2,100 people whoentered the class as freshmen. Of those,1,449 actually graduated; it is this groupthat are the most active and from whomwe were hoping for a good response. Bythe December 31 cutoff date, 714 ques-tionnaires had been returned (49.2% ofthe graduates), an excellent showingagainst the previous best, the Class of'59, with only 570 returns (39%).

The first 25th Reunion survey wasmade in 1981 by the Class of '56. Withmodifications, a survey has been madeeach year since then. Our modificationswere the most extensive, both in form(this was the first time it was typeset) andin content (we added the current eventssection and deleted a number of ques-tions on sex). The results of the110-question survey will be immortalizedin our 25th Reunion yearbook, a tradi-tion also begun by the Class of '56.

Overall, we feel that the survey is rea-sonably representative of the class, al-though people who are more successful

and more active are more likely to res-pond. For example, 32% of the respon-dents were in the top quarter of the classacademically, 31% in the second quar-ter, and the balance were in the secondhalf or did not graduate. Just over 64%of the respondents were male, about thesame as the graduating class.

Money Isn't Everything

As someone once said, "Money isn't ev-erything, but it's way ahead of whateveris in second place." If that is so, then theClass of '60 is pretty far ahead of the restof the country. Average individual earn-ings for all class members are over$83,000, although those eleven peoplemaking over $500,000 really skew the av-erage. The median is closer to $45,000,meaning that half of the respondentsearned more than $45,000 and halfearned less. Considering only the men,the median jumps to $60,000; the wom-en alone have a median of just under$30,000.

We expected things to even out be-tween men and women when we lookedat total family income (salaries of allwage earners, dividends, etc.). The fig-ures drew closer but there was still a dra-matic gap with men having a medianfamily income of $87,500 and women$65,000. The average family income forthe men was $147,000 compared to$89,500 for the women.

With incomes like these, people oughtto be able to live within their means,right? Wrong. As mentioned above,50% can, while the rest have trouble.Nevertheless, the rate of saving or in-vesting is fairly high with only 6% put-ting nothing aside at all; indeed, 41% ofthe respondents save more than 10% oftheir income.

These high incomes are reflected inpeople's net worth. The average is$643,500, while the median is about$300,000. Over 91% of the class owntheir own home, and 12% own it out-right. Median home value is $200,000.Of those who do not live in a house,about half live in an apartment and theother half in a condo or co-op. And, ohyes, five people live in a hotel or motel.

To take care of their homes, about

one quarter of the respondents reportthat they employ a cleaning person orgardener, 16% have a part-time servantor housekeeper, and 6% have a live-inservant or housekeeper. A few people al-so employ someone to provide childcare.

Earning a Living

As might be expected, more men workfulltime (94%) than women (63%). Ne-vertheless, 90% of the women are em-ployed either fulltime, parttime, or inthe home.

Men tend to be employed at largercompanies than women; nearly one-third of the men work at Fortune 500($100M plus) companies versus 18% ofthe women. Schools and colleges employmore women (30%) than men (11%) asdo non-profit organizations (10% vs.2%). A significant percentage of menwork for a partnership or proprietorship(17%) compared to women (11%). Thisis not surprising in view of the high num-ber of respondents who are profession-als (doctor, attorney, consultant, archi-tect, accountant, etc.). Over 34% of themen own the company for which theywork; interestingly, 15% of the womenalso own their own companies.

Do people consider themselves suc-cessful in their careers? Overwhelminglyyes (94%), and although the percentageis the same for men and women, 6% ofthe women chose not to answer thisquestion. People consider themselvessuccessful for the expected reasons: ac-complishment (70%), enjoyment (64%),income (48%), position (46%), and ahost of other write-ins, mainly service toothers and freedom of action. Thosewho consider themselves unsuccessfulmost frequently cite nonfulfillment andlack of income as the reasons.

Work is considered of major im-portance in life by 65% of therespondents (67% men, 48% women).As far as satisfaction with one's presentoccupation, 90% of the men are fairly orvery satisfied compared with 78% of thewomen* However, to the question of do-ing it over again, 22% of the men and34% of the women said they mightchoose a different career path. Business,medicine, writing, and child care weremost frequently cited as preferred occu-pations.

About 28% of the class have madeone or more significant changes in theircareer paths while 72% have stayed inone field. On the other hand, 49% havemade one or more occupational changesand 48% have had a job (not occupa-tional) change in the last five years.

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

Most respondents work at least 40hours per week. Men work significantlylonger hours than women with 36%working 50 to 60 hours and 19% morethan 60 hours per week. Only 22% ofthe women devote more than 50 hoursper week to work. This, of course,reflects the fact that many women areemployed parttime and devote many ad-ditional hours to housework, child rear-ing, and meal preparation.

Men tend to spend more time com-muting to work than women, althoughthe majority (55%) spend less than thirtyminutes a day commuting. Most com-muting is done by car (74%).

People tend to be settling down; only11% have moved in the last two years,and 12% in the two years before that.Over 47% have not moved for the pastten years.

The largest group of respondents livein a suburb (34%) while the rest arenearly equally distributed among large,medium, and small cities, towns, andrural areas. Geographically, New YorkState furnishes more Cornell studentsthan any other; after graduation, morestayed there, with 34% of the Class of'60 living in the state. New York as achoice for a home is followed by Califor-nia (8%), Pennsylvania (7%), NewJersey (6%), Connecticut,Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, andVirginia (all with 4%), Colorado (3%),and a scattering in twenty-five otherstates, Canada (2%), and fifteen foreigncountries (3%).

All in all, people are satisfied (73%)with their financial situation; 55% feelthings are improving and only 10% feelthey are getting worse. In the next fiveyears, 53% of the men feel their stan-dard of living will outpace that of the USas a whole and 39% feel that they willkeep pace. Not surprisingly, women areless optimistic than men; 35% feel theywill do better than the US average, and54% believe they'll stay even.

Broad Interests

Class members have broad interests andhave accumulated a wide variety ofequipment and joined many types of or-ganizations to further their interests.Here is a list of items owned and the per-centage of respondents owning each:

Two or more cars 75%Camera equipment 68%Component hi-fi 65%Personal computer 39%VCR or videodisk 35%Major power tools 31%Second house or condo 28%

1.4%

Not that all these things keep peopleat home. Most people take at least onevacation trip a year averaging elevendays in length. Furthermore, in the lastten years, the average class member hastaken 3.5 trips outside the US. Althoughwomen may not make as much money asmen, they take 15% more vacation tripsthan men.

Physical fitness is definitely "in" withclass members; 47% exercise regularly,38% occasionally, and 15% rarely ornever.

Along with active sports participa-tion, people attend a wide variety of ath-letic and cultural events every year.Nearly 91% go to the theater, 85% at-tend concerts, and 62% go to the opera.In all these cases, women go somewhatmore than men. As might be expected,men attend professional sporting eventsmore than women (75% overall), al-though women attend amateur sportingevents more than do men (probably towatch their children compete).

Class members are also active inchurch work and community affairs.Nearly one-quarter devote more than100 hours per year to church work andmore than fifty hours to community af-fairs. People are generous with theirmoney as well with an average annualcontribution of $2,450 to charities; themedian amount is an even $1,000.

Television? Forget it. Most people do,with 50% watching fewer than sevenhours per week. Indeed, only 1.3%come up to the national average of fourhours a day. The things that peoplewatch most are the news, sports, movies,specials, educational, and adventure

shows. Virtually no one watches varietyshows (1%); even game shows and thesoaps pull in more viewers (3% each).

In general, people either read a fewbooks or many—there is no in-between.Women read many more books thanmen; 50% read sixteen or more booksper year compared to only 23% of themen who read that many. On the lowend, 46% of the men read fewer thanfive books while only 14% of the womenread that few.

If men don't read books, they makeup for it in reading magazines; 61% reada business magazine (30% of women),72% read a special interest magazine(68% of women), and 62% read a newsmagazine (53% of women). Newspaperreading habits are virtually identical formen and women: 88% read a daily news-paper and 82% read a Sunday paper.

Personal Habits

As we all know, Cornell was a place forhard work and hard partying. Thus itshould be no surprise that 83% of theclass imbibe an occasional drink. Halfhave seven or fewer drinks per week, but12% of the men average more than twoper day. As many women as men drink,but not quite as heavily. Nearly two-thirds of the respondents say their drink-ing habits have changed since leavingcollege; men claim to drink less by athree to two ratio, while women admit todrinking more heavily (five to four).Compared with national trends, we tendto drink more mixed drinks (36%) andstraight liquor (9% men, 5% women),although wine is coming on strong (18%men, 34% women). Beer remains aman's drink (18%) although a few wom-en (8%) down one occasionally.

An astonishing percentage of the classhas never smoked (40% men, 52% wom-en) or given it up since leaving college(39% men, 31% women). Those whohaven't kicked the habit smoke ciga-rettes (13% men, 16% women), a pipe(5% men), or cigars (3% men and onewoman).

For the most part, we missed the bigcampus drug scene of the '60s; hence itshould be no surprise that 85% of theclass have never tried drugs. On theother hand, 3% are regular users of mar-ijuana, hash, or cocaine, while 12% did(or do) use them occasionally.

Most people entertain friends at homeor go out socially from time to time.Women tend to have a more active sociallife than men with 49% of them spend-ing four or more evenings a month in so-cial activities. Only 33% of the men arethis active socially. On the quiet side,

8% of the respondents don't partake insocial activities at all.

Most class members (61% men, 71%women) have three or more really closefriends. The women keep in touch farbetter than the men with regular corre-spondence (44% women, 22% men),phone calls, and visits. Indeed, 22% ofthe men admit to not keeping in touchwith friends at all. Ten per cent of themen and 5% of the women admit to hav-ing no close friends.

Politics, Religion, andOther Conversation Stoppers

Politically, 47% of the men and 23% ofthe women consider themselves to beconservative. Liberal was the choice of20% of the men and 40% of the women,while the cop-out, "middle of the road"was the choice of about 30% of bothmen and women. Only a handful ad-mitted to being far left or far right while2% said they tried to avoid politics.

As far as party affiliation, the Repub-licans claimed, nearly one-half, theDemocrats 31%, and independents16%. Since graduation, 41% of the mensaid they have become more conserva-tive (versus 26% of the women), while26% of the women have become moreliberal (versus 14% of the men).

We asked about the November 1984presidential election; not surprisingly,the response favored Reagan by nearlytwo to one.

About 31% of the class participates inlocal or national politics "somewhat"while 6% are actively involved. Exactly9% have held some sort of public officesince graduation.

As far as religious affiliation, the classbreaks down as follows: Protestant(38%), Catholic (12%), Jewish (23%),other (5%), and none (21%). Most peo-ple either worship weekly (31%), lessthan once a month (30%), or not at all(30%).

We asked, "Do you believe in life af-ter death?" No (38%), yes (34%), notsure (28%). Next, "Do you believe inGod?" Yes (66%), no (16%), not sure(18%).

Some of the women who had a handin revising this questionnaire felt weshould ask about attitudes towardsequal treatment of women economical-ly, in the job market, politically, and so-cially. Apparently we're an enlightenedgroup because 94% felt that womenshould receive equal treatment on allfronts. We did get a few no answers onsocial treatment frequently with a write-in explanation saying "manners aren't

'Are the moralsof the countrygoing to hell?"You betcha,"said 44 per cent'

dead where I live" or "men should holda door for a lady" or words to that ef-fect.

On the other hand, at least half theclass agreed that their attitudes towardequal treatment had changed in the lasttwenty-five years. We asked, "If mar-ried, does your spouse agree with youabout equal treatment?" Most men(75%) said yes, while only 45% of thewomen said yes. Ah, ha.

Opinions about abortion were sharplydivided. Available on demand was fa-vored by 69% of the women and 56% ofthe men; on a limited basis (19% wom-en, 30% men); only in dire emergencies(8% women, 12% men); not at all (2%of both).

Morals and Current Events

Are the morals of the country going tohell in a handbasket? "You betcha,"said 44% of the class; 16% were unde-cided; and 39% felt there had been littlechange in morals over the past ten years.Most people (69%) felt their own moralstandards had not changed in the last tenyears, although 26% felt they had. Wedidn't ask in which direction.

One measure of personal morals is In-come Tax. We asked people to judgehow they would be considered by theIRS; 63% said "satisfactory," 20% said"conservative," 13% said "on the ag-gressive side," while only 1.5% said"sneaky."

As far as laws regarding drugs andcontrolled substances, over 52% feltthey should be tightened up comparedwith 20% who felt they should be liber-alized; the remaining 28% felt thingswere okay today.

Are state and local governments doingenough to help the poor and disadvan-taged? "Plenty," said 44% of the re-spondents; "too much," said 15%;"not enough," said the other 41%.However, read on.

We gave classmates a list of seventeenstatements with which you could agree,

disagree, or say "the situation is okaynow." We've ranked these statements inorder of how strongly people agreedwith each one. Sentiments ran high onmany of these statements.

There was strong agreement that: (1)Able welfare recipients should be re-quired to do work in the community; (2)The U.S. should make a major attemptto have a balanced budget; (3) JudgeGreene should not have broken up theBell System; (4) The US should take atougher stance against illegal immigra-tion; (5) There should be a nationaldrinking age of 21; (6) Nuclear powershould be developed as a future energysource; (7) Unions have too much pow-er; (8) A woman could be elected presi-dent in the next decade; (9) The USshould attempt to re-establish relationswith Cuba.

People also felt strongly about de-fense spending. "Too much" shouted60% of the women and 43% of the men;40% felt spending was "sufficient"while 9% felt it should be increased.

Sex and Marriage

Most of the class is married (84%) andmost for the first time (71%). Four percent never got married, 8% are di-vorced, 2% separated, and 1% are livingwith someone. Assuming those who areseparated get divorced, our divorce ratewould be 27%, about one-third lowerthan the national rate.

Most people are happy with marriageas an institution, although more men arehappy with it (83%) than women (78%).A few say they prefer living alone (thesame 4% who aren't married) while 5%would prefer living together unmarried(five times as many as actually are doingso).

Those who are married have beenmarried for an average of 16.2 years andhave an average of 2.1 children. Aren'tfractional children wonderful?

If the clock could be turned back, farmore men say "yes," they would marrytheir present spouse (76%) than dowomen (62%). The answer of "no" and"probably no" is cited by women twiceas often as men.

Happy with marriage or not, at least25% of the women think sex with theirhusband is "terrific," and 47% thinkit's "good." Slightly fewer men (21%)think sex is still terrific but 50% rate it asgood. Sorry to say, the other 29% ofboth men and women rate sex as "rou-tine" or "not so hot."

We asked about a mistress or lover.(If you think we're pushy about sex, youshould have seen the 1958 questionnaire

which had more than twenty sex-relatedquestions.) Anyway, even though we al-lowed a "no comment'' response, agreat number of people skipped this one.About 58% said they have never had amistress or lover. The rest have been in-volved at one time to one degree orother, said they would like to be, orskipped the question. Men admittedmore frequently to this sort of activitythan women by about three to two.

On the other hand, 61% of the wom-en said their attitude toward sexual rela-tionships has become more liberal sincegraduation compared to only 45% of themen. (Perhaps the men were liberal be-fore graduation.) A very low percentage(4%) claim to have become more conser-vative about sex.

We found it interesting that 21% ofthe respondents are of a different reli-gion than their spouse. Most feel theyare giving their children a moderate orstrong religious grounding, although17% are giving them none and 14%leave it up to the child.

About 66%of the couples feel they aredevoting a sufficient amount of time totheir children, although 34% feel theyare not. Most children (62%) attendpublic schools while 38% attend a pri-vate school.

It appears that the children of Cornellgraduates have a bias toward Cornell.Over 18% have one or more children at

Cornell, 30% have children who hope toattend (or is it the other way around?),and 12% have children who applied butdid not go.

Far Above Cayuga's Waters

Ninety-two per cent of the respondentsearned a bachelor's degree at Cornelland 75% continued with graduate study(16% at Cornell). More men did theirgraduate work at Cornell (19%) thanwomen (9%). Of those who went on forgraduate work, more men earned a de-gree (83%) than women (60%).

Certain areas of graduate studyseemed to attract more men than women(law, business, medicine) while womenwent most heavily into education, arts,and sciences.

We were at Cornell before fraternitiesand sororities fell from favor; as a result72% of the respondents were membersof a house. Nearly 89% participated inextracurricular activities or sports; themen tended to be somewhat more activethan the women.

Most respondents (59%) did not re-ceive financial aid while at Cornell (ex-cept from good ole dad).

We asked whether the fact that youwent to Cornell was important to you to-day; 81% of the men and 90% of thewomen felt it was somewhat or very im-portant.

One quarter of the class have contrib-uted to the alumni fund every year sincegraduation, while another quarter havebeen fairly regular givers (eight times ormore). Unfortunately, 19% have nevercontributed—but perhaps that willchange this year. Women contribute toCornell somewhat more regularly thanmen, but men tend to be the larger dollargivers. The average gift is in the neigh-borhood of $250 although as in other

money matters, the median is consider-ably less.

Most people feel that Cornell commu-nicates well with alumni, although, sur-prisingly, 17% don't ever read the Cor-nell Alumni News. More than half of therespondents have never attended a Reu-nion (Come on, folks! You don't knowwhat you're missing!).

Over one-third of the respondentsparticipate in some sort of alumni ac-tivities; local Cornell clubs lead the packwith 28% participation followed bysecondary schools committees (19%),the Cornell Fund (10%), and variousother activities.

Overall, 83% of the class is fairly orvery satisfied with their total undergrad-uate experience at Cornell, and 79% saidthat if they had to do it over again, itwould be at the Big Red.

Health and Attitude

Most of our classmates are very healthywith 59% reporting no serious ailments;61% say they feel fine and 16% saythey've never felt better. The problemsthat people have had are mostly backproblems (20%), psychiatric problems(16%), and high blood pressure (8%).Ten per cent report having had a seriousoperation; 13% have had a vasectomy orhysterectomy.

Astoundingly, 11% of the men and21% of the women report having lostweight since leaving school. Another20% weigh the same, while the remain-ing 66% of the men and 60% of thewomen have put on a few pounds.

The last question was a list of eighteen"descriptors." We asked classmates tocheck off how well each word describedthem. We thought we might be able todevelop a profile of the 1960 Cornellgraduate, but what we found was an in-credibly diverse group of people with anastonishing range of interests and val-ues. While a psychologist might havefun analyzing the individual results(we're not giving them out), when weput them all together we got an interest-ing but curious composite. Family ori-ented yet independent. Happy and suc-cessful. Persistent yet warm and caring.Creative and well-informed. Ambitiousbut cautious. Does that sound like you?It should, because you're a part of it,just as we all are.

Come to think of it, I wonder whatmade us think we could ever hope to de-scribe the entire class with a bunch ofwords and statistics. After all, we'reCornellians. And as Shakespeare said,"We know what we are, but we knownot what we may be."

Peter's PrinciplesA hard workerinsistsemployesare a partof Cornell, too

By Brad Edmondson '81

The current Executive Committee of theBoard of Trustees is made up of twelvewell-educated Cornellians. A quick scanof the list reveals a PhD, ABs, MBAs,BChEs, and BMEs trailing the names oflawyers, corporate executives, a collegepresident, a prominent editor/colum-nist, and a foundation executive. Andthen there's George Peter, who neverwent to college. Peter is one of the twonon-academic employes on the govern-ing board of the university.

George Peter was born in a smallfarmhouse on poor land in the rural areajust south of Ithaca in 1921. His father,Joseph Peter Karamardian, was an Ar-menian peasant who managed to escapejust before invading Turks massacred1.5 million of his countrymen in 1915.Peter's mother left a small Syrian villagenear Beirut when relatives wrote herfrom the east shore of Cayuga Lake-promising that good jobs and good pro-spects for a husband were available at anearby salt mine.

Peter's life is a classic American suc-cess story—through intelligence, perse-verance, and ceaseless labor, he has risenfrom poverty to prominence. But whilehe has been attaining these heights,Peter has also been opening doors. In auniversity where the awards, attention,and power have traditionally gone to thefaculty, students, and alumni, Peter haslong been known as the voice of the Cor-nell employe. By example and persua-sion, he has worked for the causes ofgreater employe representation, for of-ficial recognition of staff achievements,and for a shift in the thinking of faculty,students, and the administrators toward

the thousands of people who work atCornell.

In addition to his role in the politics ofthe campus, Peter is also a thirty-eight-year employe of the university, who istoday lab director for the NationalAstronomy and Ionosphere Center atCornell. He still works constantly. He isa short, energetic man who frequentlylaughs or smiles when telling stories ofhis early life. He gestures when he talks,often seeming to be doing at least twothings at once.

4 * George can be relentless," saysDominic Versage, who currently servesas the second employe trustee. 'Once hedecides something is worth fighting for,he gets to work—and I've never seenanyone who works as hard as he does."Peter's tendency to be outspoken andpolitically conservative has made him acontroversial figure at times, but hisdogged advocacy for employes and de-votion to Cornell have also earned himmany admirers.

"He attended the school of hardknocks," Versage says. "He uses experi-ence instead of academic knowledgewhen he needs to evaluate a situation ora person. And he learned to be conserva-tive because his family had to conservethings. They didn't have anything towaste."

The Route Up

Peter is proud of the back-breakingwork his parents, brothers, and sistersdid to survive in the new world. He lovesto repeat family legends, including theone about his own birth: "My mothersaid she was digging potatoes when itwas time for me to be born. She felt la-bor pains so she went upstairs in that lit-tle Όanby farmhouse, plopped me out,cut the cord, and then washed her handsto go downstairs because it was time tofix dinner."

His father farmed the family plot andworked as a baker, a quarryman ofLlenroc stone for the construction ofMyron Taylor Hall at Cornell, and afoundry worker on the night shift atMorse Chain. Peter remembers that thefamily ate endless meals of potato stew;he, his five brothers, and two sisters at-

tended a one-room schoolhouse "wherewe were the only kids with dark hair,"and Cornell to them was a place "whereyou could get a job if you had an educa-tion."

He remembers laying the brick pave-ment on Ithaca's East State Street hillone year after breaking his back in aconstruction accident, and he vividly re-calls spilling a wagonload of hay in thesame field where his electronics labwould stand twenty years later.

Peter and many others escaped theDepression by joining the Army. He wasdrafted into the Army Air Corps in 1942and spent the war in the Midwest, learn-ing the electrical systems of B-17 andB-29 bombers. When he returned to Ith-aca after the war he brought with him awife, the former Gloria Ann Barnell ofLincoln, Nebraska, and enough skill toland a job as a journeyman electrician atCornell. It was 1947, and he was making$2,000 per year. "The first thing I didwas wire the apartments Cornell wasbuilding for GIs up by Maple Avenue,"he says. " I almost starved to death onthat job, but it was probably the best de-cision I ever made."

To make ends meet, George and Glor-ia developed a talent for running dozensof side ventures. He came home fromwork to tend to a yard full of chickens.He set up and operated a television salesand service business in 1952 with hisbrother Mitchell, and he recalls thespecial status a TV repairman had in theearly days: "We were kept hopping. TVin those days was like some kind ofmiracle—people would come by towatch one and they'd be dumbfounded.You know, 'How can this happen!" Iftheir set ever broke down, it was likethey'd die if you didn't come fix it.

"One night Mitch and I were up ontop of this snowy roof setting up an an-tenna. Mitch has this gruff voice. Youhad to have been there. To hook up thelast guy wire I had to hold on to it andslide down the roof in pitch blackness.So I was doing that, and Mitch yells atme from the other side of the roof.'George! Do you have any children athome barefoot?* 'No.' So Mitch says,Then what the hell are we doing uphere?' "

Peter was working double-time, driv-en by the concerns of a man with a wifeand four children at home. In 1954, hebuilt a new house northeast of Ithaca forhis family. In 1958, he invented and be-gan manufacturing an electronic soapdispenser. He also began an ardent rela-tionship with Freemasonry in 1949. " Iwas tired all the time," he remembers.

In 1955, he began working on a new

project at Cornell, designing and build-ing antennas for the infant field of iono-spheric research. "We built three gunbarrel antennas and aimed them directlyat the North Star," he said. Using theconstellation Cassiopeia as a lightsource, which rotates around the NorthStar, Prof. Simpson Linke, MEE '49,Peter, and the project team looked at"the composition of the ionosphere—how wide the globs were, and so forth."

Designing and building the antennasand receivers for radioastronomical re-search soon became the focus of Peter'sworking life. "Think of a radiotelescopeas a fancy television set," he explains."Both of them receive signals, pass themthrough a data processing unit, and dis-play them. The difference is that a televi-sion receives man-made signals. Radio-telescopes look for cosmic noise, whichis that part of the electromagnetic spec-trum from less than one to 200,000 or300,000 megahertz. When the noise isreceived, it is stored on a strip-chartrecorder or magnetic tape. By adjustingthe antenna to a different frequency,you can look for different things."

As Peter went from a television re-pairman to a designer of state-of-the-artscientific equipment, he became morethan just a technician. In 1960 he movedhis family to Arecibo, Puerto Rico fortwo years. He was one of four peoplechosen by Cornell to design and con-struct a 1,000-foot radio radar telescopedish in the mountains. When the Areci-bo telescope was finished in 1962, Peterreturned to Cornell and began designingand building parts for the big dish in auniversity-owned lab in South Danby.The project became the NationalAstronomy and Ionosphere Center(NAIC) and was expanded in 1974,when new offices were built north ofcampus. Peter was appointed director oflab operations in 1978.

Finding a Voice

His parallel career—representing the in-terests of employes in university poli-tics—began with the founding of theCornell Senate in 1970. Peter had joineda trade union and was also a member ofthe first organized effort by Cornell em-ployes to represent themselves within theuniversity structure—the Technical Em-ployes Association. "It represented em-ploye concerns in informal meetingswith the personnel director at that time,'Dede' Willers ['36]," Peter says. "Iteventually died due to its own lack ofclout, which I think is really lack of lead-ership."

When the campus was shaken in April1969 by the takeover of Willard StraightHall and subsequent mass meetings inBarton Hall, Peter was not active incampus politics. But the governing sys-tem which grew out of those mass meet-

ings—a Constituent Assembly and, la-ter, the University Senate—brought anew, egalitarian spirit to campus gover-nance. Two non-academic employemembers were allowed on the Constitu-ent Assembly. "It was token representa-tion at best, but it was a beginning,"Peter said.

In 1970, Peter was elected to a seat onthe first Senate, and he remembers beingswept up in the ideological debates ofthe day: "I made a real ass of myself inthe early days arguing that everything wedid was invalid because of token repre-sentation." There were originally 140Senate members—60 each of studentsand faculty, 5 other employes, and 15people appointed by the administration.In contrast, the population on campus isabout 17,000 students, 1,500 faculty,6,600 full-time staff, and many part-time staff. Full-time staff members com-prised roughly one-quarter of "the Cor-nell community," but at the time theywere almost totally unrecognized. Thiswas Peter's main arguing point, and itworked—slowly.

"One of the strongest opponents Ihad at that time was a kid by the nameof Gordon Chang ['73]," Peter remem-bers. "If you want to use labels, he'sabout as ultraliberal as you can be. AndI was branded as the ultraconservative,of course. Chang was vehemently op-posed to the idea of increased employerepresentation because he thought thatall the employes would be as conserva-tive as I was . . . and he was probablyright too, because I think most of theemployes are fairly conservative in na-ture."

Chang and Peter finally wrangled outa compromise increase in the number of

APRIL 1985

employe-elected Senate members;George wanted twenty-five, but Gordonmade him settle at thirteen. "People sawus agreeing and they couldn't believeit," he recalls. The experience of arguingwith "ultraliberal" students and facultywas as memorable to Peter as the PuertoRico project, and he has never been farfrom university politics since those days.

"Working with the students was agreat experience," he says. "But I thinkthat the students may not have the samelong-term perspective or the same senseof community as faculty and employ-es." Employes stay the longest and theyknow the place best in many ways, he ar-gued, and he believed they were being ig-nored. "When they talked about 'theCornell community' they meant facultyand students," he says today. "Em-ployes were here but they weren't here.They didn't get any of the credit.

" I think that if I have done anythingin my years here, it has been to try tochange that image. The employes begansaying that when they are not included,they feel insulted in a way. And in thelast ten years you can see that the staffare mentioned alongside the faculty inmost writing about the university as awhole. That's very important—muchmore important than most people real-ize."

Because the entire community wasforced to consider university policies forthe first time during the Senate years,Peter says it was usually easy to convincepeople of his position. "Some would im-mediately say it was unfair as soon asthey thought about it," he says. "Forexample, faculty got reduced rates onathletic facilities but employes did not.That was struck down immediately. Itwas just a question of raising conscious-ness." In an age informed by the civilrights movement, the message was easyto understand.

"George was a shop steward," saysHarold Levy '74, who watched him andargued with him constantly while a stu-dent Senate member. " I can't think ofone time we ever agreed on anything,but I liked him from the beginning. Hewas diligent—he would do his home-work. And when he disagreed, he wouldwork on that person until they reached aresolution."

Students and faculty tended to vote inblocs, Levy recalls, and Peter was skilledin "working the margins. He didn'tspeak often, but when he did he was in-credibly eloquent and persuasive. Hehad the ability to rise above factions, soeveryone would listen."

Peter remembers the Senate experi-ence fondly, and he contends that the

Senate was the closest Cornell ever cameto creating a truly representative univer-sity council. "If the Senate did anything,it fostered the idea that Cornell is onecommunity," he says. " I t was the onlytime I've ever seen the Peters and theLevys and the Changs of the world reallycommunicate."

He served for four years and was thenrequired by Senate rules to take a yearoff, so he took over the chairman's seatof a committee he had designed, theCommittee on the University as anEmployer. During a fourth term in 1975,he argued for and got an employe-elected seat added to the university'sBoard of Trustees. He says that becausestudents were gaining access to the topgoverning board of the university at thattime, it seemed only natural to extendthe privilege to non-academic employes.Levy disagreed because, he explains, " Ithought it would take away from thepressure to form a union, which I saw asthe only real way for them to protecttheir interests." But the seat was ap-proved, and Peter won the ensuing elec-tion.

In 1976, a presidential Commission onSelf-Governance chaired by Prof. Geof-fery Chester recommended that the Sen-ate be dissolved. Dissatisfaction hadgrown over the size and the unwieldy de-cision-making processes of the Senate.The commission's report argued that itwas unreasonable to expect so manypeople would be willing to devote somuch time to campus governance.

The body was disbanded in 1977, andin 1978 a Campus Council was formed.It was smaller and its assembly had amore limited function, but the role of in-dependent advisory boards for specificaspects of the university was expanded.Then in 1981, three assemblies—oneeach for non-academic employes, facul-ty, and students—were formed to debateissues within the three sectors.

Peter chaired the Employe Assemblyin 1982-83. How well does he think cam-pus government is working now? "Fair-

ly well, and I think there are advantagesto the present system," he said. " I thinkthe Personnel Department at Cornelltakes the Employe Assembly much moreseriously now. But I can still see this sys-tem dying, and for the same reason—alack of participation creating a lack ofleadership. When we raised the numberof employe members of the Senate tothirteen, we never once had an electionwhere more than thirteen people wererunning. Until we get enough peopleconvinced that the system is viable, we'llnever have the kind of mass participa-tion it takes to create a good, effectiveleader.

"But I still think the university needsa governance system desperately. It'svery important that there be some mech-anism in place which can take a standand question the administration's poli-cies."

Serving the Whole

After he was first elected a trustee in1976, Peter's perception of his own rolechanged. In the Senate, he says, he wasvery careful to represent the views andinterests of employes. As a trustee, how-ever, he says he must first take the wel-fare of the entire university into consid-eration. "But those aren't mutuallyexclusive," he adds. "This is very im-portant. If the whole university is goingto be seeking the kind of excellence[Presidents] Corson and Rhodes havespoken about, we're going to have excel-lence in every area—staff as well as fa-culty. In a place which puts as much em-phasis on research as Cornell does, staffquality is crucial.

"I t ' s been said that what's good forGeneral Motors is good for the country.Well, I would also say that what's goodfor Cornell employes is also good for theuniversity. Enhancing the work environ-ment is an immediate and tangible wayof enhancing the quality of the universi-ty. And because I feel so strongly aboutthis, my work is most effective when Iam serving in this area."

In addition to the Chester Commis-sion, Petθr also served on the PersonnelPolicy and Planning Board (PP&PB)which looked at general and specificareas of concern to staff. It was throughthis committee of deans and administra-tors that Peter developed some newemploye-related institutions.

One of his personal projects—"myidea, although I don't run it"—is theCornell employe newsletter Networking,which celebrated its fifth anniversary inMarch. "I t ' s an amateur production,but the spirit and the concept is there,"

he said. "The purpose is communica-tion. Communication is the key to thelife of any group, and Cornell employesare no different."

Another of his projects is CornellEmploye Day, begun in 1974. All facultyand staff, and their families, are invitedto a varsity football game and a chickenbarbecue at Barton Hall. For many em-ploye children, who may live in Danbyor Newfield or Trumansburg or Candor,it is their first opportunity to see that theuniversity is more than the office orshop where their parents work. Last fallthe Big Red Band played, cheerleadersperformed, the Cornell vocal groupNothing But Treble sang, and top uni-versity administrators served the chickenbarbecue to the staff and their children.

The idea of President Frank Rhodes,Senior Vice President William Herbster,the personnel director, and other DayHall luminaries cooking a chicken din-ner for employes was Peter's, and it hasbecome a tradition which generatesmuch publicity and good feeling. In thebeginning, though, the idea was some-times viewed with reluctance. "DedeWillers thought it was just a terriblyMickey Mouse idea, and so did someothers," Peter said. "But once it gotrolling, it was too popular to turndown."

For the first time last year, busloadsof employes from the Medical College inNew York City joined in. Some of themwent to the football game, but moretook the opportunity to tour campus.For many it was a first visit.

The PP&PB was "probably where Idid the most good," Peter says. "We

looked at specific and general things.For example, long before the unionstarted organizing I was pushing for anattitude survey of employes. It took metwo years to convince Herbster to get itdone. When it was finally completed, itturned out that 60 per cent of the em-ployes were generally satisfied. Willerssaw that and said, 'See George, it's notso bad,' to which I replied, 'When Iwent to school 60 per cent was a failinggrade, dammit!'

"I told them that they'd better lookcloser at the survey—there were pocketsof dissatisfaction which needed immedi-ate attention. Well, they didn't do it.And they got a union."

The university's service and mainten-ance workers voted 483-375 in February1981 to accept the United Auto Workers(UAW) as their official bargaining agen-cy. In the long battle for the hearts andminds of the workers which preceded thevote, Peter actively supported the ad-ministration's position that a union wasunnecessary and an outside intrusion onuniversity policy.

He was and is roundly denounced byUAW supporters for being too partisan,and many say that his conception ofCornell is outdated and unrealistic. "Hehas access," said Alan Davidoff '80,president of the UAW local at Cornell."Because of this, he has a certain smallinfluence. But because he can speak di-rectly to the administrators, he has got-ten the delusion that he can really repre-sent the concerns of employes. . . .We're saying that only a union is up tothat task."

Peter says he fought the union be-cause he believes that the universityshould act as a family with a commonpurpose. He is pained at the trend hesees toward autonomous, self-interestedgroups, which he calls "factions," run-ning the university and determining poli-cy. "The union gets to me because it's so

negative about Cornell," he says."They're always saying, 'We're thegood guys and they're the bastards.' "

Such an orientation, he says, is coun-terproductive to the spirit of the univer-sity. "I make a lot of the concept offamily, because it's been such an import-ant part of my life in so many ways," hesaid. "I talk about the Cornell family asan important thing. And I think thatwhen people say that family is not im-portant, they're really missing the boat.Family is really all there is . . . it's themodel we should use in almost any or-ganization." In fact, he says, there is adirect connection between pride in one'sfamily and pride in one's job.

"A job is like a marriage," he says."You can't have a satisfying job or mar-riage if you only put in the minimumamount of effort. It takes a lot of hardwork on everyone's part. I started Net-working to try to communicate the mes-sage to all the staff that anyone can be aleader and take pride in Cornell, no mat-ter what they do. And if the message isgetting through from the top, employeswill have pride.

"See, I don't feel at all that Cornell isready not to have a union," he says."I've always felt that if the employesfeel so strongly that the union is the onlyalternative they have, then dammit, theadministration has done somethingwrong . . . .

"In a perfect system, there would beperfect communication; the leaderswould know the concerns of every em-ploye and the employes would know theproblems the leaders face. Such a thingis impossible to achieve, of course, andso we have these representative systemswhich provide an imperfect mechanismfor communication. I sometimes thinkI've had a false calling, because I think Iwould love to devote my time to systemsanalysis and designing the perfect systemfor organizational communication.

"I think the bottom line is that everyinjustice done to an employe is a directresponsibility of the administration.Where there is bad management andpoor communication, union activity willflourish. I sent a paper to Bill Herbsteronce called 'The Root of the Peter Prin-ciple' [by Prof. L. J. Peter, no relation].

"I was making the point that the PeterPrinciple, which states that people risethrough the ranks to a level where theyare incompetent, will only apply in or-ganizations whose hierarchies refuse toacknowledge that leaders are not born.See, they need to be developed. Thattakes a lot of hard work." And hardwork is a familiar subject to a man likeGeorge Peter.

News of Alumni

Class NotesItems that may be of interest toreaders of many classes are high-lighted by the small head of a bear.We forward clippings, press re-

leases, and other information about alumnito their class correspondents. Addresses inthe following columns are in New York Stateunless otherwise noted.

17 AwakeningIn a moment for reflection before startingthis column, it occurred to me that among allthe months of the yr (none is really and trulydull and boresome) the month of Apr de-serves a high and special rating, for it is thenall nature awakens to cast off the winter ofdiscontent and to revive with the breath oflife the natural beauty of Cornell's superla-tive landscape. When the late George ANewbury and your correspondent had occa-sion to be in the Ithaca area together, wemade it a must to take a before-breakfastwalk through the lovely Herbert JohnstonTrail, and view again the beautiful John Col-lyer Garden near Goldwin Smith Hall. Bothwere made possible by M7ers, to be cared forand dedicated by Cornell Plantations.

Our distinguishedclassmate Samuel Koslin's description ofwhat he learned in those days may not be toodifferent from that of others, but bearsrepeating. He, too, after much advice andcareful searching, decided Cornell offered thebest place for a good education and upon ar-rival he recalls he met men of his own agecoming from all around the US, from China,Japan, and European countries, all wearingthe little freshman caps, equalizing thediverse assemblage without distinction basedon economic, social, or ethnic origin.

campus jobs—tending furnaces, cleaninghouses and caring for lawns, waiting tables,clerical work in classrooms and offices,etc—all without snobbery or socialdiscrimination, for campus life and mores, ashe saw it, depended on merit in academic andathletic achievement. It opened the door torespect and approval, which made friend-ships and patterned life in later yrs.

For what it is worth, I call your attention tothe fact of the '17 roster, as of Oct 29, '84,lists 230 names. Sorry to say, the addresses of113 are unknown, which reduces the activemailing list to about 117, plus a few widowsand contributors to the Cornell Fund who getthe Alumni News. The 2 News & Dues mail-ings for '84-85 produced 63 replies: 56 sentdues, together with 37 tear sheets listing somepersonal items; 27 others sent only the dues,leaving the tear sheet blank. While dues arenecessary to pay $10 for each group subscrip-tion to the Alumni News, the balance of$2.50 just barely pays for mailing and print-ing the letters. The tear sheet, on the otherhand, is equally important, as news items andpersonal information sent furnishes the lifeblood of the '17 column. So please, fill outand send in the tear sheet.

18 Mud RushWe've mentioned some Cornell traditions forwomen. There were others, for freshmenmen: wearing the "frosh cap," or "beanie;"being restricted to certain sections at sportsevents and in downtown movie houses; beingforbidden to shortcut across the Quadranglegrass.

In spring, the "mud rush" was a tradition.Upperclassmen supervised the free-for-all,letting 40-50 freshmen into a roped-off areain a muddy field (hosed down to make itmore slippery). In our day this was near theOld Armory. An equal number of sopho-mores met the frosh, and soon individualwrestling matches were under way (see topphoto, on following pg.) When the whistleblew, all combatants were to stop, and fightswere not to continue elsewhere.

Any mud rush drew lots of spectators (seelower photo), but not women, as the slacksand shirts of combatants were too worn tooutlast the fray! After the battle, tall tales cir-culated, as to which class had really won!

19 Class OfficersAs this is written, the annual mid-wintermeeting of class officers (CACO) has just

been held, on Jan 26, in NYC, at the PlazaHotel. About 180 class officers were present,including Charles Baskerville, Mike Hendrie,Margaret Kinzinger, and P S "Syd" Wilsonfrom the Class of '19. The morning programincluded small group workshops, followed byseveral stimulating speeches and lunch. Oneof the recent innovations is attendance of un-dergraduate class officers.

Our class has reached the stage in life whenany news item is likely to contain news of sad-ness or emotion, which must be expected.One of these letters, addressed to PercyDunn, is from Dana G Card of Lexington,Ky. He tells these things with a personal feel-ing of resignation which brings out a sad butunderstanding feeling. We give you his lettercomplete and verbatim: "I should be thank-fulthat I still remember you, Cap Creal, andHorace Shackelton, and so I send along myclass dues. Now and then I find something ofinterest in the Alumni News. In spite of that Isend in the following news, which probablywill be of no interest to anyone else. On July6, '84, after 57 yrs of married life, my wife,Helen Jones Card, left me. She was not aCornell graduate but was the best and onlywife I ever had. I never tried to trade her offfor another. Her passing has reduced my in-come and increased my living expenses but Iam still holding on. Although it is used everyday, my wheel chair is not worn out." P SWilson, 325 Washington St, Glen Ridge, NJ07028.

A cold Jan 26 found me on an 8 am busbound for the class officers' (CACO) meetingin NYC, this time at the Plaza Hotel. Havingattended many of these seminars—on suchtopics as class finances, duties of officers,how to persuade classmates to furnish news(with less than remarkable success)—this timeI elected to attend "Cornell Films," a contin-uous presentation of the latest films about theuniversity. Another new group was "PuttingComputers to Work," which seemed to me tobe of doubtful value to our little class.

Before lunch, Vice President David L Call'54, PhD '60, reminded us of many Cornell"firsts." Dagmar Schmidt Wright '18 joinedus at lunch, after which Prof David Feld-shuh, director of theater work at Cornell,outlined great plans for all sorts of activitiesin that dept.

That makesyou know that winter is over.

To date, 14 men have made firm reserva-tions for Reunion, and 8 of them will bejoined by their wives. Agda Osborn andMarion Shevalier "Shevy" Clark are gettingin touch with the women and report that 11are planning to come.

We've lined up some fine speakers for ourdinners during Reunion. Prof Jennie TowleFarley '54, ILR, will talk to us on Fri, June14, about the changing labor force. On Satnight, W Keith Kennedy, PhD '47, formerprovost of the university, who is now servingas acting director of admissions and financialaid, will speak. It promises to be an interest-

ing as well as enjoyable time for the Class of'20. Please come, if you possibly are able to.

22 SuggestionsThese notes communicate primarily class in-formation, but I think that occasionally uni-versity information may be included, eventhough the Alumni News does a good job ofthat. Having just read, cover to cover, theFall/Winter '84 issue of Communique. I sug-gest you do the same, to get the feel of theUniversity's problems, solutions, and newprojects. If none has reached you, write meor the Development Office, 726 UniversityAve, Ithaca 14850, for a copy. On the last pgyou will find an outlet not only for your lastmillion dollars but also for how your lastthousand or few hundred dollars can be di-rected to a need of special interest to you: forexample, improvement of seating in SageChapel.

pastor, the Rev Jon Dobrer, UnitarianUniversalist Church of Studio City, Cal.Here is part of it. 'Tha t frail-appearing littlebody was just a bundle of energy, enthusi-asm, compassion, and concern. Betty em-braced life, embraced people, and had an airof enthusiasm that was truly exceptional. Shecared not just for her family, not just for herfriends, but even in her 80's had an unflag-ging commitment to the larger community,the larger world of social action." Doesn't itsound as if he were writing about our BettyPratt at Cornell 1918-22? What a wonderfulperson to have known.

A "snapshot" of Walt Rollo graced ourDec '84 column; another of Bill Smith, Clar-ence Faust, and Ken Roberts appeared inMar; and Lee and Sue Post appear in this col-umn. I will use other "snapshots" from timeto time. To refresh your memory, our classofficers are: Lee Post, president; Bill Smith,treasurer; Bob Lansdowne, secretary; 4 re-gional vice presidents are "Walt" Rollo, theWest; Fred Fix, the Midwest; Stan Perez, theSouth; and yours truly, the Northeast. And,last, but not least, our successful CornellFund Rep George Holbrook; John "Van"Vandevort, our indomitable permanent Reu-nion chairman; and Helen Northup, women'schairman of our class. This gives an overviewof the administrative team that holds the classtogether, as we taper off from our 60th and61st. Our 63rd Reunion in '86 is a possibility,according to Van, with the 5-yr plan in '88too far off to anticipate. Keep the lines ofcommunication open. To do so, we have toreceive lst-hand news about yourself. Thereason is obvious. The computer print-outfor our class, received recently, after analysis,shows less than half of active class membersare duespaying members, which includes anannual subscription to the Alumni News. Ofthis group of potential newsmakers, less than50 per cent, send news. The rest send onlydues. Please alleviate the monthly frustra-tions of a re-activated class correspondent.

The mail arrives these days with good newsand bad, and both stir up memories of a longlifetime.

Since our last column, Bob Hayes has died.More than any other person, I believe, he laidthe foundation for the Class of '24 to becomea $3 million class. He kept reminding us of

our obligation to our alma mater, and even-tually we surprised ourselves with what ourclass could do, even with our greatly dimin-ished numbers.

Then came the news of the death of JackRaymond, the powerful guard on the power-ful football team during the long winningstreak from '20-24. The stars could not haveshown as they did, without the protection ofa solid line. We have said farewell to most ofthe members of that great team. Is GeorgePfann the only one left?

President Rhodes describes William ESnee, for whom Snee Hall (geology) isnamed, as "a tough individual, as well as awarm and loving individual—not only a giantin oil exploration, drilling, and transmission,but also a giant as a person."

Three members of the class attended theclass officers' (CACO) conference in NYC,Jan 26: Ellie Bayiik Green, Al Tompkins, andMary Yinger. There was a reception at theNY Yacht Club on Fri evening, and the meet-ing was at the Plaza Hotel on Sat. It was wellplanned to demonstrate how alive the univer-sity is and, of course, was a social success.

On Feb 27 our class was to rally at HainesCity, Fla, for our 10th mini-reunion. Thiswas sure to be a heart-warming occasion,generating news for our next column andnewsletter.

25 See You ThereNews & Dues items have slowed to a trickle,but I'll try to keep us in the "ink" throughour next Reunion. Dick Lang, slightly tardywith his dues, uses as an excuse a tour he tookthrough Vt and NH last Sept. When not onthe road, Dick keeps busy by being involvedin "community government," a non-paying,time-consuming activity, which he, none theless, finds interesting.

Bill Georgia and his (Syracuse grad) spouselament the fact that neither their son nordaughter went to their alma maters. TheGeorgias will try to get back for the class's60th, although it conflicts with their 60thwedding anniversary. Bill, if you do comeback, the whole class will help you celebrate!Isabel (Rogers) '30 and I braved the winteryweather to attend the class officers' (CACO)meeting in NYC on Jan 26. It's great to beable to share this day with a host of loyal andinterested Cornellians.

David L Call '54, PhD '60, nephew of ourThelma Keitel Call, dean of Ag on special as-signment as a vice president, who received aprolonged ovation for his inspiring talk. Hen-rietta Moench Miller flew to Hawaii on her80th birthday and again at Christmas time, toattend her grandson's wedding. Family hereand in Cal gives her a good excuse to travelwest. Last Sept, Ethel Hawley Burke returnedto a Vienna, Austria, much changed from thetime they lived there, took in the Oberam-mergau, visited Lichtenstein, the BlackForest, and Switzerland.

Bert Patchett Hillegas, on a trip East lastSept, had a fine visit with Dot Smith Porterand Hedgie Wright Decker, spent 3 days inIthaca, trudged up the slope with the stu-dents, sat on the beautiful '27 bench, andreminisced.

By now all of you who read the AlumniNews should have received and replied to ourdues letter. Deadlines are such that "at thispoint in time" we cannot tell how the duesare coming in. Just a reminder that, if youhave not sent in the $20 dues, do so now.Send it to Ted Adler, 270 Madison Ave, NYC10016. Incidentally, gives us some news forthis column, especially if you have never sentin a questionnaire before. When you sendnews, how about adding a little anecdotefrom '24-28.

3 1 Welcome BackLast fall, we had a long letter from RobertSchwartz, MD. Bob has been missing fromthese columns for many yrs and he made upfor it in his letter. He moved from Pitts-burgh, Pa to Scottsdale, Ariz, in '73 andfinally "retired" from active practice in Dec'83. He still keeps up with the medical jour-nals, attends local hospital meetings, sees oc-casional patients in consultation and, beingalmost free as a bird, attends meetings andsymposia in all parts of the coun-try—including one in Ithaca during July andearly Aug, sponsored by the Guthrie Clinic ofSayre, Pa.

3 2 Getting YoungerAll of you should have received an informalquestionnaire from Jerry O'Rourk askingwhether you would attend a spring dinner tobe held in Apr or May in NYC. Such classget-togethers were held regularly until our50th and, if there is sufficient demand, Jerrywill try to set one up. If it is too late for thisyr, we can try for '86. Drop us a line. If youdon't have Jerry's address, send it to me (ad-dress is at end of these notes) and I'll forwardyour responses.

Henry H Hatfield wrote us last Oct sayinghe had just returned from a 15-day cruise onthe Royal Odessey. It took Hat to the HolyLand and Greek Islands. Herb Heerwagentook "early" retirement at the age of 74 aftera 50-yr association with a NY law firm, withtime off for WWII service. Herb marriedMargaret K Anderson in '77 and betweenthem they have 7 children and grandchildren.What next? Herb says it will be "somethingwith a less mercenary approach. Somethingto help mankind." Knowing his devotion toCornell and his longtime efforts for the Cor-nell Fund, I'm sure he means it.

Bob Jonas continues to live in Rochesterand is involved with the county planningcouncil and county water management com-mittee. He is also executive secretary of NYLand Improvement Contractors of Americaand vice president of the Rochester MemorialSoc. Bob's 3 children all are doing interestingthings. Albert Heit attended his 50th law classreunion in '84 and is class agent for the LawSchool fund. When Pat wrote us late last yrhe was about to depart for Israel, France, andEngland. Knowing that a picture is worth1,000 words, Larry Fridley sent us a postalwith an aerial photo of Clearwater Beach andan arrow pointing to "our condo," which ap-pears to be a few ft from a beautiful beachand a fair distance from the high rises. Larryand Evelyn have been living there for morethan 12 yrs, but came North last summer andgot a tour of the campus conducted by FlipPhillips. James W Oppenheimer, 560 Del-aware Ave, Buffalo, NY 14202.

Within 2 months after she stopped workingfor the United Methodist Conference, HelenMaly was "climbing the walls." So she beganworking as a substitute teacher aide in theBOCES Southern Westchester (NY) pro,gram, and loves it. Last summer she went toAustria, Switzerland, and Oberammagau,where she saw the Passion Play. DuringChristmas vacation she took a trip on theMississippi Queen. Marlitt Davidoff was alsoin Austria, Switzerland, and Oberammagaufor the Passion Play. I wonder if she andHelen had a chance to wave at each other!Marlitt enjoys living in a retirement commu-nity, with its many activities right at hand.

Helen Krebs is enjoying a relaxed and quietlife after her working career as teacher and li-brarian. She is a member of the CornellWomen's Club of Batavia and the Medina(NY) Historical Soc. She has been using herskills for the Society, reading close to 150-yrs'

Board of Trustees reports and working on de-scriptive cataloging of local artifacts.

Last fall Charlotte Prince Ryan began ful-filling a long-time dream of returning to clas-sical studies, entering a master's program atnear-by U of Mass at Amherst—a peacefuland beneficent change from previous yrs onschool legislation. Ann Gryl Forster writesthat after a very busy teaching career, retire-ment is very welcome. She is still busy, butcan control the choice and pace of activities.• Martha Travis Houck, Box 178, Bed-minster, NJ 07921.

3 3 Winter MemoriesIt is now Apr, with warmer sunshine andsome flowers, but on last Jan 26, Eloise and Iwere happy to quickly forget the cold, windy,bitter weather when we arrived at "The Pla-za" in NYC and enjoyed a few warm andfriendly hrs at the annual mid-winter meetingof class officers (CACO). We joined ElinorErnst Whittier for a delicious luncheon whereDavid M Feldshuh, theatre director, de-scribed many exciting present and futureplans for the performing arts at Cornell.Pauline Wallens Narins, sorry about themiserable winter weather in Buffalo—wemissed you,.

Wonderful news from Ed Carson. He andBetty proudly announced the arrival of agreat-grandson, born on Ed's 73rd birthdayback in Mar '84. Ed added, "He will make ita different Christmas."

Among our world travelers is Dave Wil-liams, who spent 3 wks in Turkey last yr. Hetoured the World War I Gallipoli battle area,plus spending time in Istanbul. Dave's con-clusion, "Wonderful country, exceptionallyfriendly and nice people—had a great time."

My supply of news is again running verylow. How about some current items of inter-est from Hal Alexander, Bill Bird, DaveBurns, and Bill North? Garrett V S Ryer-son Jr, 1700 Lehigh Rd, Wantagh, NY 11793.

Your correspondent is sitting at her desk,thinking. The deadline for the Alumni Newsis only a few days away and what, and aboutwhom, can I write? There have been abso-lutely no communications from you, my dearclassmates, and unless I hear from you therewillbe no way to keep our column, which, ofcourse, is supposed to be alumni news, going.

There is one sad communication. MarionGiles Armstrong, who lived here in Buffalo,passed away on Nov 25.1 remember her as anathlete on both the baseball and basketballteams as well as the soccer team. She was alsopart of the 4-H Club and held a state tuitionscholarship.

Well, this is it, and since this is being writ-ten on Feb 1, when the Buffalo area is en-gulfed in so much snow, I'll be lucky if I canget it into a mail box. But, this is for the Aprissue, so can spring be far behind? Only 28days in Feb! I do hope to receive some mailfrom you. Pauline Wallens Narins, 40 Bri-dle Path, Williamsville, NY 14221.

3 4 Nature LoversRuth Cook Jasper has moved to a villa atJohn Kno* Village, 631 SW 6th St, LSCV104, Pampano Beach, Fla. Eleanor BobertzPirro moved to congregate senior housing at1040 E Putnam Ave, #103, Riverside, Conn.Mabel Rice Gross, Rl , Box 407, Woodstown,NJ, is doing well recovering from her strokeand reports she can get a meal, all but coffeeand salad, with her left hand. Her speech hasimproved also.

Many of you are nature lovers, accordingto your '83 and '84 class notes. Margaret Ep-

pich Witze tends a large azalea garden in Be-thesda, Md. Mayda Gill watches birds andgardens in Knoxville, Tenn, with a backdropof snow-covered mountains and warblers mi-grating in Oct. Barbara Kimball Wiezel hasbeen relandscaping a NH cottage to conformto the natural land. This involves building drystone walls, placing rocks to plant dogwood,rhododendron, laurel, and blueberry, andthen planting wildflowers and ferns. LoisPurdey Shafer says she and husband Johnmanage timberland in the South to be com-patible with environmental needs.

Eleanor Mirsky Bloom tells of her interestin Brooklyn Botanic Garden and her involve-ment in a huge attic sale where unimaginablethings (junk) from the Garden attic werehauled down and put with donated items.This mammoth sale, auction, and raffleraised nearly $60,000 toward an enormousexpansion and rebuilding program. It wasdirty, back-breaking, fun work that none ofthe volunteers does in her own home. Marga-ret Pederson Alford and husband Roy stillmanage their private 165-acre nature refugein Honeoye (south of Rochester). Conserva-tion students from nearby colleges and a fewvolunteers help maintain it and use it for fieldtrips. A professor has been studying shalelayers and fossils in their gully to include in afuture book. Margaret also suggested biogra-phies of interesting lives for this column. Iwill gladly run them if they are available tome. Hazel Ellenwood Hammond wrote oftaking Barbara Whitmore Henry (after Reu-nion) to the unique, geologically interestingClark Reservation, with its extinct waterfall,and to the Baltimore Woods nature center onthe edge of Marcellus, where Hazel volun-teers. And, lastly, Eleanor Clarkson writes oftrips to Machias Seal Isl in New Brunswick tosee nesting puffins; to Monomoy, Mass,where the group waded through knee-deepwater, slippery mud, concealed water holes,and beach grass. Luckily they saw lots ofbirds: a Hudsonean godwit, oyster catcherswith bright red beaks, and platoons of smallsandpipers—or they would have counted thetrip an unpleasant, tiring experience, com-plete with sunburn. Eleanor is also agardener, fills her freezer for the winter andraises potatoes, sweet potatoes, cole veget-ables, along with salad makings. She returnedfrom a trip one summer to find that a familyof barn owls had been trapped in her localchurch steeple. They were released and someparishiones hope for their return nextyear.

Albert Koenig (BA), 10129 Main St, #402,Bellevue, Wash, was struggling last yr to gethis wife through the final 2 wks of chemo-therapy, following a mastectomy in Dec '83.APs cancer seemed to be in remission and forthat we are very happy. He was spendingWed mornings as a volunteer in the anaesthe-sia dept of the Children's Orthopedic Hospi-tal Medical Center in Seattle. His "Chop" isto get the kids calmed down and as relaxed aspossible so they can be sedated and preppedwith IVs before going into surgery. Scared,frightened and upset kids apparently don't doas well and wake up later in the same upsetcondition. Al gets to do a lot of hugging, pat-ting, and hand-holding with kids from 2Viwks to 18 yrs of age and helps many of themto be calm and comfortable. Al was going tohis 45th Field Artillery battalion reunion tosee how many were still left and enjoying lifeafter 39 yrs of separation. His outfit was veryactive and saw almost continuous service inNormandy, Brittany, Luxemburg, and Ger-many; he was one of the few who crossed theElbe River. (The 1st Americans since Napole-on.) Al was an officer in the 45th from early'41 until Oct '44, when he was transferred todiv staff. Hope you and your wife will bewith us at the 50th in Ithaca, Al.

Arthur F Glasser (CE), 1800 N Criag Ave,Altadena, Cal, and his wife Alice are aimingfor the 50th Reunion in Ithaca and hope tovisit Cornell earlier to see the new campusand buildings so he will not be lost when hecomes for the 50th. He feels Cal is too faraway to visit Ithaca more often, but, Arthur,with the super savers you may be able tocome quite reasonably. Robert Hamburger(BA), 44 Gramercy Park, NYC is still in thepink and is looking forward to the 50th Re-union.

Robert F Holland (BS Ag), RR2, Box 68,Trumansburg, states: "Ruth and I are stillmaking it. We winter in Bonita Springs, Fla,and spend spring and fall in Trumansburg."They cannot go to Bonita Springs until thewinemaking season is over. Bob says, "If youhaven't tried it, I recommend it. It keeps youbusy in the fall and gives you solace duringthe winter, if you need it ." Can we samplesome of the solace during the 50th, Bob?

Edward M Hutchinson (BA), 8949 S Ham-ilton Ave, Chicago, 111, reports the Hutchin-son family congregated in Vt in June '84.

It was good to hear from Marion BlendermanBrunn (Mrs Herbert T, LLB '37), 72 Pond-field Rd, W, Bronxville, that she was able toattend her grandniece's wedding and hergreat-grandnephew's baptism last summer. Is

it possible that Blendy's not only a great-aunt, but also a great, great-aunt! And, inJan, she and Herb visited Doris HendeeJones and Lloyd in Fla briefly.

We are interested in your lives,even if you haven't been "whizzing" aroundEurope like Anne Simpson Babcock, 210 WWater St, Lyons, who had a 19-day trip lastfall which included the Netherlands, Bel-gium, a Rhine cruise, northwestern France toParis, then to London, Wales, and Ireland."If it's Tues, it must be Belgium"—right,Anne?

In her Jan class letter, Put suggested that acontribution to the Children's LiteratureFund would be an appropriate way of mem-orializing a loved friend or relative to whombooks and children were important. She hasdone just that to honor my mother, FrancesHickman Wilkins '08, a friend and classmateof her mother, and a librarian, who died inNov '84 at 97.

We hope many ofyou will wish to participate.

On a happier note, Bill Hutchinson has giv-en a major gift to Cornell for the auditoriumof the new Center for Performing Arts beingbiiilt in Collegetown.

4 0 An InvitationAn invitation to see southeast Fla comes fromAllen Reffler, recently a widower. He and hiswife enjoyed the Stuart area, where they hadmade their home for the last 5 yrs. Allen staysbusy on assignment as independent consul-tant for Sports Illustrated and doing somereal estate work on nearby Hutchinson Isl.One of AΓs fraternity brothers and a class-mate, Allyn Marsh, passed away in Sept.Allen has the welcome mat out for any Cor-nellian! Let's hope he can make it up for Re-union in June.

An invitation of a much different kindcomes from Former President Pete Wood. Iquote, "Since we started the 40-50 Fund in'70, it has grown to $32,626. On its own, itwill reach the $50,000 targeted as thfc basis fora Class of '40 gift at our 50th Reunion. Withmore support from classmates, it can reachfar more significant levels. Let's go for$100,000!" Pete says he is nearly completelyretired, consults for a former competi-tor—but fairly light duty.

A request has come from Angel Acosta-Matienzo, PO Box 906, Hato Rey, PR. Hehas picked up again on the piano where heleft it over 50 yrs ago and he wants the pianoscores of the Alma Mater and other collegesongs. Right away I thought of the wonderfultimes we all spend at Reunions singing andhearing those songs played and sung so beau-tifully with the late springtime weather, foli-age growth, and the love of friendships all

Newell Beck with corresponds with "TwoHorse" Harold Haslett '42, who has made 2trips on horseback to Vancouver, BC, Cana-da and Seattle, Wash. Unusual, eh? Newellhas come to Reunions in the conventionalmanner many times and I expect he will makeit again. Our committee is busy setting up theprogram, so plan the trip—even on horse-back! I'm coming in my Eagle (AMC).Carol Clark Petrie, 62 Front St, Marblehead,Mass 01945.

41 A Small WorldAfter the Mar column I received a further up-date from "Pop" Scholl on his doings last yr.The photo was taken in Innsbruck, Austria,while they were touring Germany, Austria,and Italy. Eleanor and he had gone by cable-car to the top of the mountain where the '76Olympic games had been held, and just asthey were about to descend, who should theymeet but President Frank Rhodes and wifeRosa. Pop says Howie and Marian Dunbarhave moved down to Delray Dunes, Fla,from Hilton Head, SC. He recently played

He is currentlyreading proof for the 4th edition of his text-book: Unit Operations of Chemical Engi-neering.

Harry H Wetzel is still at Garrett Corp aschairman and chief executive officer. Last yr,sales went over $2 billion. He will probablyretire in '85 and spend more time with his Al-exander Vineyards in Northern Cal.

Also, they attended the Spoleto Fes-tival in Charleston, SC; climbed the Virungamountains in central Africa, observingmountain gorillas; and wound up with operain Paris, France, and La Scala in Milan, It-aly.

Dan Nehrer thinks I'm so desperate for copyI'll print his poetry. Thanks to many of you,I'm no longer desperate, but wotthehell,mehitabel, wotthehell:

Cornell, Forty Three

Cum Liz Barrett Browning, let's count theways

As we recall our salad days:Johnny Parson on Lake Beebe,Dulcet tones of Sebela Wehe,

Prelim cramming, Proctor Manning,Of war's flames, the rapid fanning,We were Delt, Tri Delt, and Kappa Sig,When the Big Red was really big.

But now, with residues of youth,Thin on top, long in tooth,Over-ingesting, slowing daily,Bellies bulging like old Bailey.Was our brief stint worth the grape,A byte on time's extended tape?Life merely a search for eternal youthWith no concern for a higher truth?Should we of life's efforts compute the sumWhat we were's less than what we've become.

So live it up, with spirit stronger(Though mustard cutting does take longer)Our numbers attrited by passing timeBut undiminished the memories sublime.And there is no problemSince, you see,As Cornell livesLives Forty-three.

On the other hand, Liz Browning is not re-membered—or at least not well remem-bered—for her feats on the gridiron.

The U of Rochester announced that formerRep Barber B Conable has been named "Dis-tinguished University Professor" and willteach 1 course per term at the campus about40 miles northeast of his 19th-century farm-house in Alexander. Subject: public policyanalysis and public-sector management forstudents in the grad school of management.Must have some old notes in that Wootondesk, somewhere.

Cliff Cole, whose son and namesake grad-uated from Harvard recently, would like tohear from William T Bourke. And Bob Wal-lace, who plans to relocate from NY soon islooking for news of Carl Fenner (an Ag ShortCourse student in '39-40) of Va.

We no sooner wrote about Bob Baker thanthe NY Times ran a major story on America'sgrowing love affair with the chicken, now thefastest growing segment of the entire fast-food industry. The Times: "Robert projectedon his office blackboard a slide of chickenbaloney. 'We have 4 billion broilers, and theconsumer generally doesn't want the necksand backs. So we have 4 billion lbs of necksand backs. What do we do? We grind it up in-to baloney and hot dogs and things likethat.' " Robert Baker is something of achicken Edison. He concocts new productsthat have chicken in them and has played animportant role in the spectacular growth ofthe chicken industry. When not thinking upchicken products, he tackles the duties ofchairman, the Ag College's poultry sciencedept. Baker was asked about the quality oftoday's chicken. 'Some people say the flavorused to be better,' he said. Ί grew up on afarm. We'd chop the head off and the chick-en would bounce around the yard and laythere for a while before we picked it up; thenwe'd scoop it into a pail and it would lie in thehouse a bit before my mother would getaround to cooking it. Probably it did tastedifferent. But do you want to put up withthat to get the taste?' " Yeah. S MillerHarris, PO Box 164, Spinnerstown, Pa18968.

4 4 Forty-FortyHere are some items about classmates thatare guaranteed, for the most part, to be lessthan 24 months old—from a very big '84backlog.

Bernie and Betsy Smith now have 4 reasonsfor frequent trips to Ithaca: Terry '75, Cyn-thia, Ryan, and Erin. Terry is now on the AgCollege faculty. It was he who provided the

great Cornell singing at our Reunion barbe-cue in '79. Bernie classifies the grandsons, 6and 4, as "future Cornellians." John Mettlerdidn't report any future Cornellians, butwrote that 23 of the 37 remaining vet '44s re-turned for a Vet College reunion in Jan '84.The College has held winter Reunions be-cause that is the time when practicing vetshave the best opportunity to get away for afew days. "Missed June '44 Reunion, but ex-pect next 5-yr Reunion in '89 will be in June. . . already plenty of enthusiasm for i t . "Also among other '44s! For those of you whocan't wait, the Class of '45 has invited '44s toattend their 40th Reunion, June 13-16. Ifyou're interested, contact Stan Johnson '45,203 Ketch Rd, Mantoloking, NJ 08738.

Greta Wilcox Leighton didn't attend Re-union, either, but she and Paul '42 celebratedtheir 40th wedding anniversary with a familyreunion last Aug. They have 4 children and 9grandchildren, and live in Thiensville, Wise.Classmates Marvin and Renee Wolf Stein-berg also celebrated both 40ths in June. Theytapered on by attending Reunion prior totheir June 24th anniversary. Marvin retiredlast yr as president and chief executive officerof Micro Bio-Medics; he continues as chair-man "but that's just window dressing." Thecompany is the largest in the field of sportsmedicine; Cornell is a long-time customer.The Steinbergs have moved to 20080 LaurelOaks, Boca West, Fla. Their summer addressis Heritage Hills 376A, Sommers. Other 40thanniversary celebrants last yr were Bud '43and Clare Pfeiffer Vanderploeg. They trav-eled from metropolis-sounding home inHickory Corners, Mich, to Chicago, 111, forthe occasion with 3 of their 4 chίlden and 3grandchildren. Clare writes that she is doingvolunteer work in Battle Creek and at GullLake. Both of the latter are easily located ona map, but my atlas has not yet found Hick-ory Corners. . . nor has it caught up withSommers.

Near the former Mamaroneck home of theSteinbergs are Zelda Guttman Damashek andGeorge in Scarsdale. He is an attorney; she isdirector, Westchester Community SupportSystem, and is with county dept of mentalhealth. Both Zelda and George are workingto educate people about the effects of des-tructive cults. Last yr they vacationed atLongboat Key, Fla, with Lenore Kaplan Fin-kelstein, Edith Goldey Gross and CarolGoldfarb Schreiber.

In '84 Pete Pi-Sunyer and Teresa also vis-ited in the USA, but from their home in Bar-celona, Spain. Pete lectured at Tufts, Skid-more, and in Mexico City on "The SpanishTransition to Democracy and Catalan Na-tionalism." He has retired from banking, butis devoting himself to full-time legislativework as deputy at the Catalan parliament andas a senator in Madrid. Pete and NancyMiller didn't get to the other Pete's country,

4 7 Taxing TimeNow that most of us have presumably onceagain settled up with the IRS, may we nowtax your memory? Where did you put thoseold photos, mementos, and other campusmemorabilia from back in the '40s; andwouldn't you like to share them temporarilywith us as part of our push towards the LBAF(Life Begins at Forty) Reunion in June '87?While you all are thinking about what thismeans—an explanation follows at the end ofthis column—let's get caught up with the do-ings of more of our classmates reporting inafter a long hiatus.

Hotel School graduate Virginia L Baker re-ports a very active existence, carrying outbusiness assignments for Inter-ContinentalHotels. When not in Europe, which is muchof the time, she's based at 1482 York Ave,NYC; also hopes to attend our 40th, share inthe fun, and catch up with Pi Beta Phi sorori-ty sister Margie Schiavone Berens.

Checking in from San Antonio, Texas,(PO Box 6773) is Ralph C Ware. Not surpris-ingly, since Ag College days, Ralph hasmoved on to the wholesale agriculturebusiness.

Nice to heargood things.

Also in the medical ranks is Dr Jack Le-vene, who sends regards to all of us from 34Larchmont Rd, Binghamton. Practicing radi-ology in that area, Jack may just be thinkingabout a jr partner, some day. His youngestson recently entered med school after gradua-tion from Syracuse U. Further east in NYState, Helen Fehrer Bernstein (Mrs Arthur D)writes us from 300 Martine Ave, Apt 6-C,White Plains, that she is a trust officer withBankers Trust.

And, finally, up in the Rochester area, welearn of the Oct '84 retirement of CarolNauth Euller, 594 Bending Bough Dr, Web-ster. After 21 yrs as a school librarian, sheand husband John wasted no time in travel-ing to the warm South Pacific (New Zealandand Tahiti) and then to the invigorating Janclimate of the Soviet Union. Son Roald '78has to be facing interesting challenges thesedays on the staff of the Congressional BudgetOffice in Wash, DC.

Your correspondent also received wordabout Class of '47 women who made it backto the campus last summer to take part inAdult U (CAU): Gloria Lawrence Baxter, Is-abel Mayer Berley, Marilyn Morrill Kudisch,and Alice Newman Wenzel.

We would advise others togo there soon, or at least before the millionsof bicyclists in Beijing become automobiledrivers!"

Our mail has been filled with notes fromclassmates saying that they are planning to at-tend. Should be terrific! Received a wonder-ful letter, back in Oct '84 from Virginia"Ginny" Brane Schulz. She recently receiveda double AA degree: accounting and compu-ter information. She worked for NASA at theAmes Research Center for a yr; joined Hew-lett Packard as a program analyst in the fi-nancial information system dept of the opto-electronics div; and was accepted to andplanned to enter the U of Cal, Berkeley, foran MBA. Two sons have graduated from col-lege: Charles '78 is in Paris, France, workingfor the Organization for Economic Co-opera-tion and Development; Edward is with New-ark Electronics in San Jose, Cal; the "last" isat the U of Cal, San Diego. Ginny ends hernote with thanks for the class directory, butwas puzzled by the omission of EdwardFellman. With tongue in cheek she added "Iknow Dick Schaap can't be 'address un-known'—I see his reports on TV." (Therewere a few errors and omissions in the direc-tory—but, all in all, the university did a greatjob.) Ginny Wallace Panzer, 3 Mountain-view Rd, Millburn, NJ 07041.

Charles Blander, MD, is an obstetrician,while wife Barbara is a sales representative ofSklar Surgical Instruments in Long Isl City.They reside at 10 Blodgett Ave, Swampscott,Mass. Jim Fahey's daughter Jill '84 gradua-ted from Hotel School at the same time hisson Patrick was getting his diploma from Vil-lanova. Jim owns a restaurant in Rhinebeckand may be reached at PO Box 367.

From 14044 Rue San Remo, Del Mar, Cal,comes news about Jim Larrimore's family.His son recently started at Oxford U and Jimwrote about having a nice time with MikeNadler planning for the 30th Reunion. I justfinished reading a letter from Felix Rosengar-ten, and I must admit I am confused. Fromwhat I gather, he is living in 2 places, either3800 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara, Cal, orHomat Imperial #62, 4-3-28 Roppongi, Min-ato-ku, Tokyo 106, Japan. Now, I don'tknow what he is doing in Japan and reallycan't decipher all the doings of his 4 grownoffspring, but things sure sound great!

It was nice hearing from good old SamBasch, who, as you know, is a professor ofpsychiatry at Mt Sinai Hospital in NYC. As amatter of fact, he is involved in so many as-pects of that fine institution that it wouldtake too much space to record. His wife Lin-da is a research anthropologist at the UNand, as a result, has taken her family to manyremote places of the world. The 2 oldestBasch children attend the Fieldson School;the youngest is in 2nd grade. You may reachSam at 5251 Sycamore Ave, Riverdale.

I had an opportunity recently to speak toDan Chernoff in Portland, Ore. His sonScott '88 is on the basketball team and hiswife Nancy was going East to see Scott playagainst Columbia. Dan is very active in alum-ni affairs and is on the advisory committee ofthe Law School. They live at 710 NW Win-chester Terr. Francis T "Frank" Lynch tellsus he is director of product sales for Silvar-Lisco, while his wife teaches school. They arethe parents of 26-, 23-, and 3!/2-yr olds and

all may be reached at 5791 W Walbrook Dr,San Jose, Cal. Also from the West comesword that Charles H Meier Jr is running alivestock farm at 7825 C&S Rd, Fountain,Colo. At the same time, he is a systems engi-neer with Computer Sciences Corp and ElPaso County commissioner. Charlie retiredfrom the US Air Force in '82 and lives withhis wife Betsy and their 3 children.

Finally, moving down South, we find BobSmoots, who runs a restaurant and cateringservice in Charlotte, NC, where his mailingaddress is 1522 Mulhouse Ct. He works withhis wife Karen, while 2 sons attend the U ofGa and U of Tenn. Stephen Kittenplan,1165 Park Ave, NYC 10128.

5 7 Back to the LandSome of the news this month has a little mosson it (another plea for some sort of a stag-gered News & Dues schedule). Some ratherdramatic career changes stand out. SamLeadley retired from the Penn State U ruralsociology faculty after 15 yrs to become afull-time dairy farmer. He also does consult-ing in leadership development (only smartcows need apply). Gail (Wolff) '59 and DavidKielson have changed almost everything: Lo-cation, New Rochelle to a farm in the coun-try; his work, partner in a CPA firm to farm-er; her work, social worker to therapist. JackBurgess has traded his capt's uniform (USNavy) for a business suit, joining TRW (al-most 3 yrs ago). Son Kevin has been marrieda little over a yr, son Tim has graduated fromAllegheny College, and son Alexander is inhigh school. No dramatic changes for Dickand Martie Ballard Lacy, but as a pleasantdiversion, they boil maple sap into syrup overa woodstove in a shack on their property inCleveland (NY).

Some things never change. Paul "Beach"Kuhl tells us he took a 3-month course in Sac-ramento Saloons. On the side, he tried a law-suit, successfully getting a parking ticket re-duced to manslaughter. Also on a consistentpath is Steve Levine, having celebrated 2 25thanniversaries: one with Elaine (trip to Lon-don, England); the other with AT&T-BellLaboratories. Daughter Lauren '87 is a sophin Ag; son Jeff is in medical school; andElaine teaches kindergarten.

Phil Griffin reports news of 3 Cornell chil-dren: Laura '82, married to classmate JohnMcDermott and living in Gainesville, Fla;Julia '84, and Steven '87, active in 150-lbfootball. Bob and Marjorie Lee NelsonStuart say they also have family on campus.Larry '87 is a biology major and Cherylteaches Spanish (at Cornell); Linda is lookingat colleges. Doug got away and is in researchwork at Yale. A granddaughter is 2Yi. Steveand Marilyn Miles also have a son at Cornell:Steve Jr '88 in Arts. Ara Daglian's daughterLisa graduated from Boston U last spring. Ofthe progress of Ara Jr '85 in Hotel, Ara Srwrites, "Let us pray." If you're wonderingabout Ara's activities, work is "same" andunder travel/vacation/hobbies he lists "all3 . "

Complaint dept—Bill Cullen takes a breakfrom sailing, skiing, tennis, and racquetballon rainy days in Paradise Valley, Ariz, to sitand do nothing. His complaint is that it neverrains. He doesn't complain about his archi-tecture business or the family: Kacy is in gradschool; John is pursuing marine biology at Uof Cal, San Diego; and Ted is in engineeringat Ariz U.

Winding up on career changes and pleasantdiversions, Gonzalo Ferrer, reporting a mar-ried daughter in 4th yr architecture at U ofPR and another daughter taking a breakfrom Syracuse U to study abroad, sends word

7 0 Downhill NewsThere are 2 classic Cornell activities—traysliding and swimming in the gorge—that Inever did during my yrs "on the Hill." (I'mnot sure why I didn't!) Back in early Feb, asthe family and I were doing some local sled-ding, I announced that I was going to go traysliding on Libe Slope when Glenn and I vis-ited Cornell on a proposed visit to Ithacaplanned for the following wk. After some en-joyable solo runs I agreed to sled down withGlenn. (Do they say judgement dulls with ad-vancing yrs?) It was a fast, steep ride and dueto mere instinct for survival (the creek and/orthe bridge seemed to be getting awfully close)or a complete lack of trust in Glenn's steeringskill—after almost 15 yrs of marriage you'dthink I'd have more faith in the man—I stuckmy left foot out to slow down (or stop?) thesled. The sled did not stop but my foot did: Imanaged to dislocate the foot and break bothmajor leg bones! So much for tray sliding thisyr! Why don't you plan to come to Reunionin June and see if I manage to survive a swimin the gorge intact. Remember: Reuniondates are June 13-16.

Alumni Activities

On Court at 86Kirk Reid '20 was inducted into the CornellAthletic Hall of Fame last fall, but his athlet-ic glory days are not over.

His 64 years as a finalist in national singleschampionships (1919-1983) is a world record.He has won 16 national titles, 40 state cham-pionships, and almost 200 other tourna-ments. But the victories, awards and honorsthat Reid has compiled aren't the astonishingthing. What's amazing is that he is stillcompeting—even though he is 86 years old.

That's right, Reid is still playing tennis,and playing it competitively. He's still win-ning, too. In September of 1984 he capturedboth the singles and doubles titles at theNorth American championships for those 85years of age and older.

All told, the Madison, Ohio resident, whois also a member of the Greater ClevelandSports Hall of Fame, has played competitivetennis for 70 years. The most obvious ques-tion is, why?

"I guess you could say I have a competitivedisposition," said Reid. "At least that's whatmy wife says."

Just in case you think the intensity and ex-ertion in the super senior circuit differs fromother tennis tournaments, consider this: In1983, one match for the 85-and-over nationalsingles championship lasted three hours and50 minutes. Certainly, there are some peoplewho feel that it is not good for a personReid's age to exert himself physically as hedoes. But Reid has a different opinion on thatmatter.

"My advice to anyone who wants to stayactive is, stay active," he said. "A doctormight tell a person my age not to exercise,and I don't blame him; he has to play it safe.But my advice is to stay active, no matterwhat age you are. If you're looking for verifi-cation, go talk to a doctor who plays tennis.He knows what the benefits of a strenuousactivity like tennis are."

Reid has had health problems that wouldput almost anyone else on the sidelines. He'shad a prostate malignancy for the past 16years, and even has a metal hip. But despiteboth problems, Reid has never given seriousthought to giving up the game.

"Even my doctors encouraged me to con-tinue playing," he said. "The urologist whohas worked on my prostate problem, the sur-geon who replaced my hip, and my familydoctor are all tennis players. They take pridein the fact that I've outlived the mortalitycharts, that I'm a tennis player who has hadserious injuries but is still competing. Modernmedicine has advanced to the point where it'snot just possible to live longer, but also possi-ble to stay active longer. I guess I'm a primeexample of that."

Never did Reid imagine that he wouldmake tennis his life sport when he received aracquet as a gift at the age of 9. He playedboth tennis and baseball in high school, butby that time he had made the decision to con-centrate on the net sport. And he also madeanother decision then that has enabled him toremain so physically active at his age. "I de-cided when I was a sophomore in high schoolthat I would never have any alcohol, coffee,

or tobacco," Reid said. "I think God waspretty close to me at that time because highschool students don't normally make deci-sions of this type."

Reid admits that he was "barely admitted"to Cornell, as the university registrar wasn'tsure that he could meet Cornell's rigorousacademic standards. So he was admitted onthe condition that he pass all his freshmancourses. In typical Kirk Reid fashion, he notonly passed his courses—he was elected tothree honorary societies.

On the tennis courts, Reid won the univer-sity singles championship twice and was cap-tain of the Big Red team in 1920. He wasfinalist at the National Intercollegiate cham-pionships in singles play in 1919, the onlyCornellian ever to make it to the finals of theevent. Reid lost to Charles Garland ofYale—Who that year was the Wimbledonworld doubles champion—in an historic five-set championship match. He still remembersthat confrontation vividly. "Garland was amuch better tennis player than I was, noquestion about it," Reid recalled. "Every-body predicted that he would win in straightsets. I just decided that I was going to makehim work for it ."

After graduation, Reid began an engineer-ing career with General Electric in Cleveland,but still managed to compete in tennis. Hewon the Ohio Open six times in singles andeight times in doubles, as well as ten GreaterCleveland singles titles and twelve doublescrowns—each an all-time record. He playedat the Nationals on several occasions, includ-

ing 1924 when he won a five-set decision overPat O'Hara Wood (captain of the AustralianDavis Cup team) in the third round of thesingles championship. But it was very toughfor Reid to fit tennis into his busy workschedule; he could only participate in tourna-ments during his two weeks of vacation. Atthe age of 32, with a family and a prosperingengineering career, Reid decided to give upcompetitive tennis.

But Reid couldn't stay away from the sportfor long, and when the time was right—at theage of 47—he resumed competition. Thatyear (1945), he won the first of his sixteen na-tional titles, the 45-and-older doubles cham-pionship. One of the major reasons Reid be-gan competing again was his son, Kirk Jr '50,who followed his father's footsteps andplayed varsity tennis at Cornell. The KirkReid duo teamed up to win the Father-SonNational Clay Court Doubles Championshiptwice.

The senior tennis circuit has four nationalevents each year, with both singles anddoubles competition for each age bracket.Clay court and grass championships are heldin the East, and hard court and indoor eventsin the West. Reid competed in only four ofthe eight categories this past summer. The on-ly year he challenged for all eight champion-ships was 1980, and he won six of the eightnational titles (four doubles and two singlescrowns).

There is no prize money connected with thesenior tennis circuit; just a close group ofgood friends. "We all play because we lovethe game," Reid said. "We must pay all theexpenses in order to compete. While the com-petition is fierce, everyone who plays on thecircuit gets along with everybody else." Reidisn't the only Cornellian playing. In 1980 heteamed up with Bill Mallery '21 to win the80-and-over national hard court doubleschampionship—nearly 60 years after theyplayed together at Cornell.

In order to prepare for his opponents at thenational events, Reid says he plays every dayduring the summer, as well as once or twice aweek indoors during the winter. Most of hisdaily competition comes from women whoare 20 to 30 years old. "Women in this agebracket give me a good match," said Reid."Young men hit the ball harder than do mycontemporaries."

Don't get the idea that Reid's life revolvessolely around tennis. He has served as presi-dent of the Illuminating Engineering Societyof North America. He has owned and oper-ated a 65-acre tree farm. A lay preacher, hehas also written a religious play which hasbeen performed by churches in 26 states.

But his first love is definitely tennis."It's just a great, great game," Reid said.

"It requires everything—stamina, athleticability, hard work, and skill. And strategy al-so plays a very major role in the sport. Therehave been many matches where I have beenovermatched, but I would discover a flaw inmy opponent's game and go on to beat him."

The obvious question for Kirk Reid is, justhow long will he continue to play competitivetennis? By now, you should know the answerto that one.

"I'll play as long as I'm able to," Reidsaid. "Two of the players in the super seniorcircuit have dropped dead on the court, somehave fallen while playing and suffered seriousinjuries, and others have developed heartproblems. But I'm not scared. Every time yougo on the court, you have to recognize thatthis may be your last match. But the prevail-ing attitude is, 'let's keep playing and ifsomething happens, it would be a nice way togo out . '" —Mark Goldberg'81

'Connection' Lookslor More lobs to ListAlumni listed 643 jobs with the Cornell Con-nection during its first six months of opera-tion, April-Oct 1984. The Connection is theCareer Center's program for establishing anetwork between graduating seniors lookingfor work and alumni looking for talented em-ployes. Alumni from all over the world arebeing invited to list entry-level positions intheir companies and fields. Alumni commit-tees in New York City, Upstate New York,Washington, DC, and Boston are working toencourage more alumni to list jobs.

There is high demand from students forjobs in banking and finance, engineering,law, research, publishing, and advertisingand public relations, but last year jobs insome of those fields were in short supply.

In 1984, Connections listed 54 jobs inbanking and finances, which drew 332 ap-plicants. The 21 positions listed in the legalprofession drew 101 applicants; 49 studentsapplied for 20 publishing openings, and 47submitted resumes for 17 advertising andpublic relations jobs.

On the other hand, only 15 students ap-plied for 30 jobs in education, and only 3 ap-plied for 24 positions listed in agriculture andfood technology. Some 290 students appliedfor the 248 engineering and computer servicesjobs, which would seem to be a good match.However, Tina Walker, coordinator of theCornell Connection, explained that many ofthe listings were for electrical engineers, andmany of the applicants were in agricultural,mechanical, or chemical engineering.

Fields that were in equilibrium during thesix months in 1984—the only period forwhich figures are available—include generalmanagement, with 38 applicants for 25 posi-tions, and science and social science researchwith 61 applicants for 38 jobs.

Preliminary figures indicate that by the endof October, out of the more than 600 jobslisted, 31 were offered to students in Connec-tions and 24 accepted.

Jobs are categorized into 21 fields, and arelisted by field and by geographic area, but notby company name. Seniors submit resumes tothe Career Center, which forwards theresumes to the employer, who then gets intouch with the student directly.

Because there is such a high demand forjobs in publishing, a New York City subcom-mittee headed by Faith Apfelbaum Sale '58 isplanning an informational session in May. Atthis meeting in New York City, seniors willlearn how to break into publishing and havethe opportunity to meet Cornellians alreadyworking in the field.

A Washington, DC committee chaired byMary Helen Sears '50 organized a sessioncalled Washington Priority during springbreak. Seniors who plan to work in the na-tion's capital were invited to Washington tolearn job search survival skills and to meetCornellians already working there. At leastone Washington job interview was arrangedfor each senior who took part.

People who want to list jobs and those whowant to apply can get further informationfrom the Career Center, Sage Hall, Ithaca(607)256-5221.

Honors for LeadersJansen Noyes Jr '39, chairman of the Boardof Trustees from 1978 to 1984, was named apresidential councillor by the Board of Trust-

ees. Presidential councillor is a lifetime awardhonoring individuals for long and outstand-ing service to the university.

In the NewsWriting of the libel trial brought by Gen Wil-liam Westmoreland, the NY Daily Newsnoted at its end, "Also devoted to him washis wife Katherine, better known as Kitsy."She's the former Katherine Van Dusen '48.Continued the News, "Attending the trialevery day, her needlework on her lap, MrsWestmoreland exuded warmth toward all ofthe courtroom regulars. She told reportersthat she kept her good humor by not readingtheir articles, but that she would catch upwhen the trial was over."

After a two-year worldwide search the GettyTrust selected architect Richard Meier '57 todesign its new headquarters in Los Angeles,Cal. The arts complex is budgeted at morethan $100 million, a commission Time calledthe "architectural plum of the decade."

Meier was awarded the 1984 Pritzker Prize,the "Nobel Prize" of architecture. At 50, heis the youngest ever to receive the prize,which includes a $100,000 tax-free grant.

Despite this accomplishment, Meier's se-

continued from page 72championships. She placed 9th at the Uof New Hampshire carnival and 11th atthe St. Lawrence U carnival. Both themen's and women's ski teams placed10th in the Division I Easterns. At theNCAAs, Carlucci placed 30th in thegrand slalom, and the team 18th overall.

Women's fencing dropped its finaldual meet 4-12 to Perm for an 8-8 seasonrecord, 1-4 in the Ivy League. The teamplaced fourth in the NCAA Northeastqualifier. Christine Hamori '85 qualifiedfor the Nationals with a fifth place fin-ish, based on a 19-7 bout record.

lection for the Getty project led to some con-troversy. Meier's stark, modern style hasbeen described as ''sleek, cool and highly pre-cise in its details," by New York Times archi-tecture critic Paul Goldberger. Some archi-tects worried that this style would not beappropriate for the "rough and rural" Cali-fornia hilltop that overlooks both Los Angel-es and the Pacific Ocean. "They'll get a bigrefrigerator on top of that hill," warned onearchitect.

Meier, vowing to change his style, pre-sented the reviewing committee with a differ-ent vision: "That clear, golden Californialight is intoxicating and I see the complex ashaving openings in which light can comethrough, casting crisp and brilliant shadows.I can envision a horizontal layering of spaces,interconnected around courtyards . . . largeand small rooms opening out to the land-scape."

The Athletic Congress Award for the nation'sbest distance runner of 1984 went to PetePfitzinger '79, who led the US finishers in theOlympics with an 11th place. His track coachat Cornell, Jack Warner, reports Pfitzingerwas in New Zealand during the winter to getmarried, and is to run April 14 in a WorldCup race in Hiroshima, Japan.

Involvement in political activism is "not forthe faint of heart," David B Goodstein '54said in a campus lecture on achieving socialchange through the political process. The Sunreported that Goodstein spoke of the timeand patience required for even small changesto take place in the political spectrum.

Of gay rights, Goodstein said, "The prob-lem is a lot bigger than gay—the problem isthe whole role of bigotry that lives at the top"of the economic system. Goodstein addedthat gay rights activists must continue towork with other people who are fighting forchange, including women and all people ofcolor.

Goodstein, whose grandfather left him afortune acquired in oil and steel mill enter-prises, emphasized that people who want tochange their society can do so. He is publish-er of The Advocate, a national biweekly gaynewsmagazine.

Songwriter R Alex Anderson '16 is still turn-ing out the tunes. He and his wife of 65 years,Peggy, live in Diamond Head, Hawaii. Hehas written more than 100 songs includingLovely Hula Hands, Malihini Mele, TheCockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai, and WhiteGinger Blossoms.

Born in Honolulu, he received an ME de-gree and then served in the Royal Air Forceduring World War I. Anderson was shotdown over France and taken to a Belgian pri-son camp. He was able to escape and aftermaking it back to the US, McClure magazinerequested that he write up his story for publi-cation. Published in 1919, parts of the storywere later adapted and made into the movieThe Dawn Patrol.

Although Anderson's songs were popularall over the world during the 1930s, he said inan interview with Honolulu magazine, "Icouldn't have lived on the songwriting. Thesongwriting was a hobby . . . ."

Anderson worked in the refrigeration busi-ness and brought the first Frigidaires to Ha-waii. He went on to work 40 years in his fami-ly business, The Von Hamm-Young Co.,eventually retiring as chairman of the board.

Reading and deciphering English literaturedo not develop the skills Japanese studentsneed to carry on a simple conversation inEnglish, says Takeshi Watanabe, PhD '64,

chairman of the Japanese Trilateral Commis-sion, an organization that promotes interna-tional cooperation in education. Watanabesays that more time should be spent on speak-ing the language.

He suggests more international exchangesto bring native English speakers to teach inJapan and more extensive study-abroad pro-grams to allow Japanese students to study inthe United Sates and Britain. Watanabe con-tends that an expansion of the latter programwill help Japan become a full-fledged mem-ber of the world community.

Juan Felix, MD '84 competed in the 1984Summer Olympics as a member of the PuertoRican rowing team. He finished 10th in afield of 16 in the one-man rowing event (scull-ing). Felix was team captain of the 1980 varsi-ty rowing team at Columbia, a silver medalistin the Central American Games in 1982, andplaced fifth in the Pan American Games in1983. He says although his medical trainingwill take precedence over preparing for the1988 Olympics, he may be able to compete in1992.

David H Simon '53 of Van Nuys, Cal, is pres-ident of Simon/Public Relations, Inc, a firmwith offices in California, Massachusetts,Texas and New York that he founded in1966. In an interview in Southern CaliforniaElectronics News, Simon said the major pro-blem he must solve for clients is translatingtechnical information about products, appli-cations, and markets into terms that financialanalysts, shareholders, employes, customers,and business reporters can understand. "Anagency has to be able to understand andspeak the language of the board chairman,the marketing director, and the designengineer," he explained.

From the FundThe Peace Studies program received $300,000of the $25 million in grants made to 25 insti-tutions by the MacArthur Foundation topromote world peace. The foundation's In-ternational Security program is supportingcomprehensive studies to find new strategiesto prevent nuclear destruction. The MacAr-thur Foundation president, John Corbally,said the grants were made because "no issuethreatens the collective destiny of humankindlike the menacing threat of nuclear war," butAmerican intellectual centers were under-funded and a disturbingly small cadre of indi-viduals were working on the complex prob-lems of reducing nuclear risk.

Prof Ned Lebow, government, director ofPeace Studies (see Alumni News, Sept 1984),said the grant was the largest the program hasever received. During the next three years,$75,000 of the grant money will be used forgraduate fellowships and the remainder forresearch. Projected studies include: the im-pact o'f defense spending on the US and Sovi-et Union, how to avoid and manage crisesbetweerf superpowers, the command and con-trol of nuclear forces, and the use of newtechnology to limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

With a $101,600 grant from the KelloggFoundation, the university is launching athree-year pilot program to bolsteragricultural literacy among liberal artsstudents. Sponsors noted that although Cor-nell is a land-grant university and many Cor-nell graduates end up making decisions af-fecting farmers and food, many never take acourse in which the problems of agriculture,

rural life, nutrition, and food production anddistribution are considered.

Agriculture and the liberal arts will be partof the Biology and Society major, an interdis-ciplinary field open to students in the Ag,Arts, and Human Ecology colleges. Existingcourses in anthropology, history, philosophy,music, and English will be modified to in-clude agricultural perspectives and ruralthemes. New freshman seminar courses in ag-riculture, food, and nutrition will also be de-veloped, and field study, learning by doing,summer travel, and study abroad emphasized.

AlsoScience medalshonor faculty;tuition to rise;teams win titles

Two faculty members were among nine-teen Americans awarded the NationalMedal of Science by President Reagan atthe White House in late February.

Roald Hoffmann, the Newman pro-fessor of physical science, chairman ofthe Department of Chemistry, and a No-bel laureate, was cited for "creative ap-plications of theory to organic and inor-ganic chemistry [which have] broughttogether the world community of scien-tists. The magnitude and uniqueness ofhis contributions to modern chemistryand the scientific process . . . are contri-buting to an ever-improving understand-ing of chemistry/'

Prof. Wendell L. Roelofs, entomolo-gy, of the Agricultural Experiment Sta-tion at Geneva, winner of the Wolf Prizein agriculture, the top internationalaward in that science, was honored for"fundamental contributions to basicand applied biology in the field of insectpheromones, their chemical compositionand blends, their biosynthesis, how in-sects perceive and respond to them, andtheir use in insect pest management.'

Both Cornell winners have been mem-bers of the faculty since 1965.

On campus: The university administra-tion recommended to the Board ofTrustees last month undergraduate tui-tion for the endowed colleges of $10,500for next year, up $900 from 1984-85.This would put Cornell fifth in the IvyLeague with Yale. Harvard leads at$11,300; Penn and Columbia trail at$10,400.

The total of tuition, room, and boardwould rise from $13,005 to $14,130.

The City of Ithaca appeared to put it-self on a collision course with the univer-sity in early March when it voted historiclandmark status to seven Agriculturebuildings—Stone, Roberts, East Rob-erts, Bailey, Comstock, Caldwell, andFernow halls.

Stone Hall is due to be torn down this

year to allow construction of Ag's Aca-demic I building, and Roberts and EastRoberts are to come down after con-struction is completed.

To alter or remove a historic buildingwould require city permission; city alder-men spoke of a need to go to court to en-force the law. David Call '54, a universi-ty vice president, spoke against the citydesignation and said Ithaca would haveto do battle with the State of New York,which owns the buildings.

The teams: The winter sports neared theend of their respective seasons with twoIvy and one Eastern team champion-ships in hand, and three individual East-ern titles as well.

Women's polo won the Eastern Inter-collegiate title at Oxley Arena by defeat-ing Connecticut 17-9 and Virginia 10-7.Anne Boreder '86 led scoring withtwelve goals.

The men's polo team placed second inthe Easterns, topping South Carolina26-9 and losing to Virginia 13-15.

Men's hockey won a three-way tie forthe Ivy title with Yale and Harvard, on a7-2-1 record, losing to Yale 8-9 andBrown 3-4 in late February. The teambeat Vermont 3-2 and lost to nationalleader RPI 4-5 in the regular seasonfinale, for a 15-9-2 record overall, 14-5-1in the ECAC, good for fourth place andhome ice in the Eastern tourney.

In the playoffs for the first time since1981, the Red started off well with a 9-2,4-2 victory over Yale in the first roundand headed to Boston to face RPI againin the semi-finals.

The women gymnasts won the IvyLeague championship they relinquishedtwo years ago, edging the interveningchamps, Yale, 173.4-172.5. Jeanne Pitts'88 won the floor exercise and placedfourth in all-around competition. Con-nie Leavitt '88 was second on the bal-ance beam, and Julie Hamon '86 third inthe floor exercise and sixth all-around.

Birgit Zeeb '85 placed third in thevault before injuring her neck in a fallfrom the uneven bars. She returned toschool a week later in a brace to allowher injury to mend and her to graduate.

The team's dual meet season con-cluded with losses to New Hampshire170-177 and Northeastern 170-174, foran 11-5 season record.

Co-Captain Pat Welch '85 won theEastern 150-pound wrestling champion-ship to lead his team to a seventh placefinish. Dave Chae '85, the other co-cap-tain, finished fourth at 126, Scott O'Neil'85 fifth at 167, and Phil Wiles '86 sixthat 158.

The team closed its dual meet season

with a 33-11 win over Penn and a 16-21loss to Princeton, to finish at 4-7 overall,3-3 in the Ivy League, giving up the titleit held for two years.

Men's swimming closed on a winningnote against Dartmouth 71-42, to recordan 8-4 meet record, 5-4 against Easternopponents, with the Eastern tourneyahead. Randy Sprout '86 was the top in-dividual scorer at the Easterns, qualify-ing for the NCAAs when he won boththe 50 and 100 freestyle events. He alsofinished second in the 100 fly. BobBuche '86 was second in the 1,650-yardfreestyle, and the team placed fifth.

The men's basketball team reliedheavily on Center Ken Bantum '85.When a persistent groin injury ham-pered his play in one game and forcedhim to sit out another, the Red lost 61-75to Yale and 60-63 to Brown and fell outof contention for an Ivy League leadthat once seemed within its grasp.

The next weekend Bantum returnedand contributed 26 points against Dart-mouth and 28 against Harvard, good fora 57-53 win at Hanover but a 64-75 lossat Cambridge.

Bantum became the all-time careerscoring leader for Cornell in the finalgame against Princeton, when his 20points put him 11 above the previousrecord of 1,400. The Red lost to leaguechamp Penn 71-74 and beat Princeton63-30 to conclude the season 14-12 over-all, and 8-6 among the Ivies, in thirdplace.

The men gymnasts had a 5-4 yearoverall, 3-2 in the North Americanleague in dual meets, closing with a246-242 win over Cortland, then finishedsecond in the Ivy championships toPrinceton, 197-200. Dave Feeney '86placed second in all-around scoring,won the floor exercise, tied for first invaulting, and was second on the parallelbars.
