Gleaned by Dean Earl H. Smith from his weekly campus newsletter, FYI.

Remembering Colby Jack When pitcher Billy Swift of outh Pon land became a 20-game winner with the San Francisco Giant in September, we were reminded that the last Mainer to reach that honored benchmark in the majors was John "Colby Jack" Coombs. Raised in Freeport and Waterville, Coombs wa drafted by famed Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack oon after gradua tion in 1906. That year he pitched hi famous24-inninggameagain t theRed ox in Boston, a four-hour and 4 7-minute affair that he won. Hall of Famer Coombs posted records of 3 1-9 in 19 10, 28- 12 in 19 1 1 and 2 1- 10 in 1912 before a bout with typhoid fever ended his brief but brilliant career. The Colby diamond i named for him.

Town and Gown President Bill Cotter announced this fall that the College has discontinued the sale of tickets for all athletic contests. The move expand on Colby' effort to make nearly all College programs available to the public without charge. In eptember, libraries di rector Suanne Muehlner announced a new program to assist area high school teacher and student in under randing and u ing Miller Library. The library raff will offer special training sessions for teachers and their students, the completion of which will make them eligible to hold Colby library cards. The program will be espe cially welcomed by area schools where bud gets have been trimmed to the bone.

Running T his Show We welcome Robert Spurrier, new associ ate director of communications and man aging editor of this magazine. A graduate of Williams College, Bob was most recently New Hampshire public affair director for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and a journalism in tructor at Phillip Exeter Academy. Sally Baker, di rector of communications, will continue to play a major role in the magazine as execu tive editor.

Kany as Consultant Bob Kany, associate director of corporate and foundation relations, has tepped down to assume new responsibilities as a general College consultant, drawing upon more than two decades as a Colby administrator. Bob came to Colby in 1969 as administra tive assistant to President Robert E.L.

Strider and took over as director of Special Programs in 1972, a post he held untll joining the development office two year ago. From 1972 to 1 974, he held an extra assignment as assistant dean of faculty, and from 1978 to 1984 he served as secretary of the Corporation. A specialist in American colonial hi tory, he holds the rank of assis tant professor.

Smokeout Side Increased concerns expres ed by non-smok e r about second-hand smoke have prompted institutions around the country to introduce stricter policies on smoking. This fall, Colby changed its policy to pro hibit smoking in all academic and admini trative buildings, including private offices. The ban al o includes all of the athletic facilitie . Smoking policies in tudent resi dence hall are determined by students, and mo t student areas, including all dining hall , have long been restricted.

Coming Home Among the many new staff faces on campus thi fall are everal Colby grad , including Scott Smith '88, new associate controller; Lynn Magovem '90, as istant director of alumni relations; Matthew Isham '93, a new coun elor in the admission office; and Caleb Cooks '93, a con ultant to the College' Tolerance on Campus program.

Trustees Heed Mandela's Call

prohibition again t investment in South Africa wa reversed last month by Colby' Board of Trustee following an appeal from African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela. Colby was one of the first colleges in the nation to withdraw investment from firms doing business in South Africa in an effort to pressure the apartheid government to move toward majority rule. The process began in 1978 when the trustees endorsed the Sullivan Principle , a set of guideline set by corporations for the treatment of black South African employees. In 1 985, the board approved total divestment of South Africa holdings by May 1 987 unles "legal apartheid is in the process of being dismantled and progress has been achieved in talks concerning power sharing between the government and legitimate repre enta tive of the black majority." Within day ofMandela's eptember 24 call for the elimination of sanction against South Africa, Colby's Advisory Commit tee on Investment Respon ibility, chaired by Economics Profe r Thomas Tietenberg, convened an all-campus forum to olicit opinions from the community. The com mittee then recommended the policy re versal to the board's Investment Committee and, through them, to the board as a whole. The motion to allow reinvestment passed without dissent. According to Tietenberg, Mandela' tatement, coupled with the South African government's announcements that elec tions for a constitutional assembly will be held in April and a council to oversee tran ition to majority rule will be estab li hed, "constitute sufficient grounds for concluding that [the] test for rever ing the divestment action has been sati fied." Thanks to both the wift re ponse of the advisory committee and to the timing of Colby' October board meeting-a week

earlier than u ual this year-the College i again a national leader on the sanctions i sue, and US. Today and The Chronicle of Higher Education took note. They, among other media outlets, tracked down Pre i dent Bill Cotter for comment.

Responding toaque tion aboutwhether it' too soon to be sure that outh Africa will dismantle apartheid, Cotter told re porter Dennis Kelly that "For us to second gues [Mandela' ] judgment, I think, is a little arrogant."

Crew Goes Varsity

A proposal in March from the Colby Rowing Association to the College admin istration contended that after more than a dozen year the club had grown increa ing ly ucce· ful and competitive, participation had ri en dramatically over the pa t decade (from about 30 student in its first year to more than 70 last season) and the team alread y wa competing at regattas all over New England with var ity NESCACsquad . "The elevation of crew to a var ity port will have a direct and positive impact on the program," aid crew supporter H. Alan Hume, M.D., who has served as Colby's medical director since 1990.

"What appealed to me was the a tt i tudes of the faculty to their jobs and that they were involved w i th what the s tudent needed," Nelson sa id. " Here there seems to be a community of effort that's d ifferent from a re earch environment." Nelson has concentrated her research on the transport properties of electron ic material and on the relationship between the electron ic properties of sem iconduct ing materials and their structures. Solid state physics is well-suited to be part of an introduction to physics, Nelson says, be cause " it is a large and active area of research and underlies much of electr ical eng ineer ing, materials science and modem technol ogy." B illing herself as "a strong proponent of a l iberal arts education," she added , " I think that an awful lot o f people can f ind physics fun and then go off and, ay, be a lawyer." This year Nelson is teaching four courses, including one for non-majors t itled "En ergy for Planet Earth," and says that by spring she hopes to have in her laboratory an atomic force m icroscope, which can see differences in he ights of the surfaces of mater ials as small as s ingle atoms.

She says Americans "have the responsib il ity to un derstand what messages we are sending ou t in popular culture." Roberts says the value of women's s tud ie courses is that " it's very important for women and men to understand how their choices are determined by gender roles in society and to question those gender roles." Roberts uses a feminist perspective to exam ine science fiction in her book, A New Species, and says that "science f iction can teach us to rethink tradit ional patr iarchial notions of science, reproduction and gen der." Her research for the book included trip to science fiction conventions to dig up 1 950s magazines such as Planet Stories and Fantastic, w ith stories such as "Queen of the Ice Men" and pr ices driven up by avid collectors to $200 a copy. Roberts' fascina tion w ith science fiction began when she read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a child,

and he now v iews the work, w ith its f irst ever female monster, a · the beg inning of the evolution to women's "triumphant role in con temporary cience fict ion."

Robin Roberts Currently she is working on a book,

Ladies First, in which she plans to document the emergence of femin ist music v ideos. Roberts sees such works as part of the liberal arts tradit ion of "getting students to look toward the future. We have to tudy the world around us or we'll remain ignorant." This year Roberts is teaching femin ist theory, American popular culture, women's science f ict ion and fantasy and introduc tory courses in both American and women's studies. She comes to Colby after s ix years of teaching at Louis iana S tate Un iversity and two at Lafayette. Roberts graduated w ith a B .A. in English from Mount Holyoke and earned master's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. "I always wanted to be a teacher," Rob erts sa id, speak ing from the office she's decorated with a V ictorian art print and two science f iction movie posters, and Colby appealed to her as a place "where teach ing mattered."

Facu l ty salaries were i mproved substan tially during the 1 980 , but much of that i ncrease was to make up for the lag in faculty salaries in the previous decade. The 1 992 Report of the Common Fund on Higher Educa rion Finnnce said, "In spite of pub l ic percep tions to the contrary, college faculty salaries have barely maint a i ned parity with the cost of living over the past several decades and have actually fallen behind the income pace of the average U.S. family. Real dollar increases in

fac u l ty salaries have averaged about . 5 per cent annual ly during the three decades since 1 960, which i less than the increase in me J ian fam ily incomes over the same period." Even with the trong rebound in facu l ty salarie in the 1 9 Os, fac u l ty members are st i l l underpaid compared to professionals w i th comparable tra i n i ng, experience and s ign ificance for soc iety. The average faculty salary at a four-year college in 1 992-93 was j ust over $ 3 4,000 and l ightly under $45 ,000 at doctoral gran t i ng research u niversit ies. These facu l ty member have, on average, pent five to seven years obtaining a Ph. D. following their bachelor degree and have also had IO to 1 5 years' experience teach ing. By comparison, the average public school teacher's salary for 1 99 2-9 3 was more than $ 3 5 ,000-higher than the average college teacher' a l ary. In Connec t icut, an average teacher earned $48,8 50-a figure h igher than the univer ity professor. M y point is not that h igh chool teacher are over pa id-as they c learly are not-but that col lege teacher are, in fact, under-compensated, even after the recovery m faculty salaries of the la t decade.

Less

One of the reasons there is so much na tional publicity about college costs is that an increasing share of that burden is borne di rectly by the student and the family. The federal government, especially, is not bearing its h istorical share. In 1 9 50, at the height of the uti lization of the G . I . B i l l , the federal government paid 46 percent of the total cost of college atten dance while families paid 3 1 percent. By 1 9 7 5 , the federal contribut ion had decl ined to 24 percent and fami l ies' increased to 39 percent. By 1 990, the federal government's share had decl i ned to 1 1 percent, and the burden on the family ro e to 49 percent. No wonder fami l ies are complaining. Not only have college costs grown rapidly in the 1 980s, but students and thei r families have been expected to take on an increasingly large percentage of those rising costs. Nor have state and local governments picked up the federal burden. Their share of the total cost of h igher education has re mained almost constant, at 2 3 percent (al most all of which goes to public universities), from 1 97 0 to 1 990.

Even whi le the federal gov ernment ha reduced it share of the co t of -upporting tudent in college, at the ame time the form of federal a i ranee ha hifted dramatically from grant to loan . While the tudent loan "enti tlement" program i ex tremely valuable, it i only a tiny fraction of the federal entitle ment program ( ee chart p.4 ) . Federal entitlement are geared to the elderly, and we are inve t ing very little in the next genera tion, who not only mu t finance their own college education through work and loans-but al o must a ume higher taxe and a lower standard of l i ing to pay off the huge national debt and to finance the entitlements for older Americans. This i a cruel h ift of economic burden to the next generation. Colleges, for their part, ha e dramatically increa ed financial aid program to offset the dec line in govern ment help, but this has also con tributed to the increase in tuition costs-a vicious c ircle.

Higher Education Costs and the GNP Toral spending on h igher education in this country as a percentage of the GNP, i com para t i v e ly small and ha re mained remarkably stable for the past 20 year . lt wa 2 . 7 percent in 1 970 and 2. 7 percent in 1 990.

Colby 's Experience Turning from the national picture to Mayflower H ill, with help from our treasurer and asso c iate vice pre ident for finance, Douglas Reinhardt, we have re viewed Colby's co ts from 1 97980 to 1 99 1 -92 to try to undertand why our comprehensi e fee grew fro m $ 6 , 7 60 t o $2 1 ,8 1 0-an increase of2 2 2 per cent in that 1 3 -year period com pared to an increase in average tuition of 203 percent and in the

Administrative and Academic Support Growth The admini trative, tudent service and academic upp::irt area all grew at about the ame rate a faculty co t . ] u t as the facult expanded in order to introduce new cour e , major and interdi c iplinary program , o, too, wa there ub tanrial expansion in our library, computer, athletic , health and ca reer coun eling programs.

A w e have upgraded our science labora torie , we have spent a great deal on both renovation and equipment. cience equip ment co ts have ri en from $ 7 4 ,000 to $3 1 8,000 ( a 330 percent increa e), and the fund to maintain and ren vate the plant ( which grew by 1 5 5 ,000 quare feet, a 1 6 percent growth) increa e d from $ 1 ,679,000 to $ 7 ,003 ,000 ( up 3 1 7 percent ) . The elec tric i ty co t -re ult ing b th from rate hike and greater u e ( tudents now bring an unbe l ievable variety of electrical appl iance to u e in their rooms)-grew from $2 1 1 ,000 to $ 7 2 2 ,000, an increase of 242 percent. Fi nal ly, our increa ingly more litigiou c iety ha brought steadily mounting legal bill , from $ 1 9,000 in 1 979-80 to $22 5 ,000 in 1 99 1-9 2 , an increa e of 1 ,084 percent.

tu.dent Aid The liege remain c mmitted to providing fu ll financial a id, ba ed on need, ro all adm itt d tudent . Roughly one third of our student have received grant financial aid throughout the period, and another ne third have received loan and jobs. The grant budget for student aid increa ed from $ 1 ,466,000 in 1 979-80 to $6,60 1 ,000 in 1 99 1 -9 2 , up 3 50 percent. All the tandard m del u ed t � recast financial aid expen ditures how that financial aid increa e faster than tuition charge ( becau e few of tho e familie can contribute very much to addi tional rising college co ts ) . This phenom enon makes it es ential that we try to control the rate of increa e in tudent financ ial aid if we are to c ntinue to re train the overall rate f increa e in tudent charge . It is imperative that we succeed in increas ing dramatically the ize of our financial aid endowment if we are to continue to admit, with ut r gard to need, the most talented tudent . Hav ing the very be t tudents at C lby ben efit not only tho e who receive financial aid but the entire tu dent and alumni body, because the exc itement of studying at Colby and the national reputa tion of the College are tied so c lo ely to the quality of the tu dent who matriculate.

The Importance of Endowment and Annual Fund While total tudent charge increa ed 2 2 2 percent in the 1 2 year period, they would have gone up even more had we not had such real increases in the endowment income and alumni and parent gifts during the pe riod. Endowment income grew from $ 1 , 2 7 3 ,000 to $ 3 ,923 ,000, an increase of 208 percent, and the A lumni and Annual funds of unrestricted gifts grew from $388,000 to $ 1 ,6 1 6,000, an in crease of 3 1 7 percent. Our alumni , parents and friends have increased our en dowment ( 2 3 3 percent, from $26,362,000 at the end of the 1 9 7 9-80 fisc a l y e a r to $87 ,899,000 as of the end of 1 99 1 -9 2 ) and have, at the same time, contributed large sums to build and renovate build ings and to more than quadruple the An nual Fund. They all deserve the great thanks of current and fu ture students.

p.4

Indeed, while the cost of a Colby educa ti n ha risen rapidly over the last decade, every tudent, even tho e paying the full charge , receives an annual subsidy of more than $7 ,000 from the endowment, the An nual Fund and other non-tuition resources.

Has Colby Done Any Belt� Tightening?

Yes. While we have not had to eliminate staff or programs, we have frozen adminis trative staffs ize for the past three years, and faculty growth has been l i mited to one and a half new positions a year. Moreover, as we develop the annual budget we have tried to hold the non-compensation and non-fi nanc ial aid budgets to a rate of increase below inflation. Each year the Overseers Visiting Com mittee recommend needed staff and pro gramming increases in our academic and administrative unit , and, while v irtually all of these are fully ju tified, we are only able to finance a very small portion. In a typical year, the dean of faculty and the division chair receive 30 high-priority requests from departments for new faculty and academic support po itions, but we are able to approve only one or two of those. We also have taken other co t-reduction steps, such as closing the Colby ski lope, retrofitting our buildings to save energy and constructing a new cen tral heating plant that will, from its fuel, taff, equipment and related savings, pay for itself in 10 years. Each year members of the Budget and Finance Committee of the Board ofTrustees carefully crutinize the proposed budgets, and they have established a new Compensa tion Committee to look at salary and fringe benefits, which constitute such a large part of the budget of this labor-intensive enter prise. De pite our smaller endowment, we have kept our student charges in about the middle of the 25 selective private colleges in N ew England, and we have continued to devote the largest percentages of our budgets to instruction and student services while trying to maintain as efficient and frugal an administrative operation as possible. In a recent tudy of educational expendi tures for a comparable group of 1 9 colleges ( Am herst, Bates, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Colby, Connecticut, Hamilton, Haverford, M iddlebury , Mount H o lyoke, Oberlin, S m i t h , S w a r t h more , T r i n i t y , Vassar, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Wheaton and Wil l iams ) , Colby was third highest in percent age of budget devoted to instruction and research, first in student services ( including athletic programs) and fifth in academic support. By contrast, we were 1 7th i n admin istrative and institutional support.

W'har of rhc F 1 1 wrc .1 The rate of t u i t ion increase at Colby ha continued to dec l i n e in recent year:,, anJ I would expect percen tage increases to !e,·el off during the balance of the 1 990s un less inflat ion ret u rns. At the ame t im e , the College will rem a i n commi tted to maintain ing the qua l i ty of our programs, our eq u i r m e n t a n d our p l a n t . We know that tu i t iun increases of the sort that occurred in the 1 9 Os w i l l i mply not be possible in the 1 990s. At the same t i m e , c o l l ege costs w i l l l ikely continue to increase I 1 /2 to 3 percenr above inflat ion. This w i l l be necessary in order to: • M a i n t a i n real growt h in salaries c ompa rable to t hose that occ ur fur s i m i lar rrofes s ionals o u tside of higher education ( where salaries tend to grow 2 to 3 perc e n t real each year ) ; • Con tinue a financial aid program for about one third of all our students; Sustain an aging physical p lant and our increasingly more sophist icated equipmen t . ( I r m us t be noted here t h a t the Mayflower •

H i l l campus is no longer "new." This year we celebrated the SOth anniversary of the mm·e

of the first women from the old campus to Mary Low and Coburn residence hal ls ) ; • Retain fle x i b i li ty in the budget fo r those currently unforeseen but essential invest ments we w i l l need to make to keep Colby in the forefront of innovation and excellence in l iberal arts colleges in the nat ion: • I nvestigate ways, consistent with main taining and e nhan c i ng the quality ,)( our programs, to reduce costs wherever pos� ible. I t has been suggested, for example, that tech nological changes may perm i t a more effi c ient way to teach introductory languages, calcul us and other subject in which self paced instru c t ion, with less in ten ive fac u l ty supervision, m ight, in fac t , benefit the stu dent and free u p prec ious faculty t i me for advanced courses and for sen ior sem inars . S i m ilarly, we should explore way to use the increasingly common foreign-study experi ence of our s t udents not only to compl e ment their on-campus educat ion but perhaps to substitute for some c urrent course , once more Ii berating fac ul ty from teach ing courses that m ight be better taught abroad; •

Encourage new suggestions on ways to

improve the College's effi c iency from a l l those w h o c a r e a b o u t our future. Trustees, overseers, a l u m n i and parents certainly have a key role to p lay i n a process of constant re

For c o l lege , t h e nat ion's health care co t d ilemma i often 1' a two - edged sword , striking them both as consumers and a pro v iders . Like all other e m p l oy e r s , c o l l eges m u s t d e a l w i t h the J_ frightening e calation of insurance co ts, and, at the same time, those campuse with hea lth faci l i t ies for students are increasingly challenged to sus tain them. Between 1 980 and 1 99 2 , the cost of Colby's health care insurance has increased an astonishi ng 5 3 1 percent. I n the fiscal year 1 99 1 -9 2 , the College spent $ 1 . 2 m i ll ion for health insurance coverage for active and retired employees. Employees themselve contributed an addi t ional $600,000 for de pendent coverage. A special advisory committee formed by Vice President Amie Yasinski and including representatives from a l l employee groups has been discussing insurance issues and formu lating recommendations for the president and trustees. The committee is exploring a number of plan designs, includ ing HMOs

The oppo ite edge of the w rd, which a lso cuts a wide swath in th College' o er all budget, is the provision of health care for students through the Garri on-Fo ter Health Center. Here, careful management ha avoided the same h rrendou increases ex perienced on the in urance ide, but, none theless, cost have e calated dramatically, and in 1 99 1 -92 the College budgeted in excess of $800,000 for the e service . Colby ha long provided an ambitious level of medical and counse ling upp rt for its tudent , on the high end a compared to similar private college . It has become a point of pride-and a comfort to both tu dents and parent -to have the e erv ice readily accessible on the campus. And even while sustaining thi high level of primary care, the College has in recent years placed increased emphasi on wellness education. Campus health educat ion-spurred by continuing concerns about alcohol abuse and by the urgent need to understand and protect from the H IV virus and AIDS-now includes outreach programs of instruction and discussion in all areas most rele ant to the college-age population.

Changes are inevitable. Thi year, for example, the College w i l l abandon it longtanding policy of packaging and di tribut ing the m o s t c o m m o n l y pre c r i bed medication to students without charge. The practice can lead to error and n longer meet strict compl iance with the law. Pre packaged medications are now purcha ed from a pharmaceutical packaging company and sold to patients at the College's cost. The temptation to di continue the over n ight in-patient ervice ha been re i red, at least for a t ime, in the face of the argument that tudent recovering from illne es or injurie have been able to remain on campu and continue w ith their studie when they m ight otherwi e be forced to di continue their tudies. till, there i the pr pect that reduced u e of the in-patient erv ice will enable the health center to move entirely onto the econd floor of the build ing, freeing up the first floor for other, compatible ad mini trative or academic u e .

other 300 alumni and parents in an effort to determine perceptions about the Col lege's academic qua l i ty, adm inistrative leadership, financial management and reputation. The results of this study were encouraging and someti mes surprising. • We learned that nearly 1 00 percent of tho e surveyed had pos i tive or very positive atti tudes toward the College ( compared to an average of 92 percent fo r most coeduca t ional col leges the firm had surveyed ) . • Though there was w idespread concern about the relatively small s ize of Colby's endowment, a strong majority rated Colby's fiscal management as exce llent, and almost 90 percent held the College's admi111srrarive leader hip in h igh regard. • We also learned that despite our high nat ional rankings in recent years, many of our con t i tuents rill think of Colby as a regional col lege-albeit one rhar is evolv ing into a national institution.

One message about Colby philanthropy needs ro be h i g h l ighted : every sinole g ift, regardless of si:e, is important. ln fac t, even though a record number of donors ga\'e record dollar totals to the College this yeat . we are concerned that only about 42 perc ent of Colby a l u m n i make a gift to the Col lege i n a typ ical year. This is s ignificantly lower than alumni partic ipation rates a t other schools ( inc l uding one in Brunswick that we needn't name ) , where giv ing usual ly tops 5 0 percent. We can't believe these statistics mean Colby alumni l ove their c o l lege le-s than the competi t ion's a l u m n i love their alma ma ters, so we must conc l ude that we haven't communicated c learly enough the i mpor tance of every gift-even the most rnodest to Colby's m ission. Colby pride would demand that we do better, even if there were no other reason to boost partic ipation. But there are other good rea ons: not only do foundations consider alumni parti c i p a t ion in thei r gran t -making deliberations, but even the i nfamou U . S . News & World Report list ( where Colby ranked as the 1 5 th best l iberal ans college in the country last year ) we ighs a l u m n i -g i v ing partic ipation as a measure of "customer sat isfact ion .

But with a mother who is the program director for the National A FE KI D Campaign in Wa hington, D.C., 2-year-old Anna and 4-m mh- ld Andrew live in an environment where injuries are avoided trenuously. " Plea e don't u e the war l 'accident ,'" Mickalide said from her h me in Kensington, Md., as she wa getting ready to go back to work at the end ofa maternity leave. "That implie that they are unpredictable and unpreventable." "Unintentional injury is the number one killer of children from birth to age 1 4," he aid, hifting into high gear a he rattled off the statistics she uses to bolster her cause. Figures how that each year one in four children through age 14 are hurt eriou ly enough to require medi cal attention, Mickalide said, noting that of those children some 7 , 1 00 are killed and 50,000 are d' abled pem1a nenrly. lnjuries, he aid, kill more children each year than all other di ease and conditions combined. The National AFE KID Campaign, chaired by former ur geon General C.

Major initiative that Mickalide over ee include bicycle afety, preventing scalding and burns, installation and regular maintenance of smoke detector and use of seatbelt and child protection eats in vehicle . "Education is neces ary," he aid, "but it's nor ufficient." Working out of her office in Wa hington, D.C., Mickalide con ducts research on child safety, encourages manufacturer to design afer products and lobbie for legislation to make the environment afer for children. Mickalide's effort have won the admiration of her professional colleague . In October he traveled to San Franci co to receive the Early Career Award in Public Health Education and Health Promotion from the American Public Health As ociation.

"I try to make the data come alive to ave kid ' live ," she said. As he ralked about going back to work, the interview wa interrupted on everal occasion as Mickalide tried to keep Anna away from the tairs that eparated the toddler from her sleeping brother. Mickalide' maternity leave provided her with a fre h per pective on her work.

Too Little, Too Late

Double Vision

l have just finished reading the self-congratulatory article in your magazine titled " pecial Mea ures for pecial Learners" [Colby, August] by Lynn Sull ivan '89 and feel compelled to tell 'twa not always thu at Colby College. My son, Henry tevens Borden '7 1 , wa unable to satisfy your requirement for a foreign language. We ent him to a peciali t on learning disabilities at Harvard during his enior year. That pecialist wrote a report, which he ent to Colby, describing Steve as a classic case of dyslexia and recommending that the foreign language requirement be waived in hi case. Colby declined to do o, and teve did not graduate. The experience had traumatic effects on his life. TI1i was at a time when other more flexible and enl ightened colleges were recognizing the syndrome. l cannot help but think that Colby' elf-congratulation are too late for one student who wanted very much to have a degree.

Our Augu t, 1 99 3 is ue of Colby arrived and, as usual, being 7 5 myself, l checked the obituaries. Upon reading the one for Marian Drisco Tucker '24 l was amazed and amused to see the reference to "her late twin sister, Marion Drisko Powers ' 2 3 ." Marion Ori ·ko Powers '23 wa my oldest ister. Marian Drisco Tucker had a twin sister named Mary. They were distant cousins of my si ters and me. Needle s to say, twins would not both be named Marian and they would have been in the ame cla s at Colby. I remember my sisters (the other one was Lena Drisko North '26) aying it was confusing having two Marian Ori kos at Colby at the ame time.

Thanks for the Memories tephen Collln 'sarticle aboutJack Foner (Colby, August) wa greatly appreciated. ince I graduated from Colby, whenever the College came to my mind, l often wondered how J ack Foner was doing becau e he was one of my more favorite professors. The article answered my questions and provided me with a great deal of information I did not know about him. He certainly did not discus during classtime hi own experience in the McCarthy era. While l knew he was a "radical" in the past, I never heard that he had been blacklisted until now. Even though I did not know this background when I wa at Colby, I was very impressed by him as a professor. The subject matter of his courses, black history, had a great impact on me. Essentially, what his student learned was a more complete hi tory of the United States, which was, up until that time, generally ignored, unknown or supressed by most white Americans. Jack Foner opened my eye to "what really happened," and I am sure he reached many other Colby students in a similar manner. I would like to thank Stephen Collins for answering all those questions and for letting the Colby community know more about such a dedicated educator. l would also like to thank Jack Foner for this educational experience.
