. . . and trustees consider it
MARCH 1984

Taking under advisement faculty action, as well as positions of undergraduats and alumni, the trustees voted at a meeting just at press time to establish a special Trustee ROTC Study Committee. While unanimously endorsing, the existence of an ROTC program on campus, the trustees shared with faculty some of the scheduling and curricular concerns about the current Navy program. The committee will develop concepts and terms for a program which might find favor with the trustees; the administration will negotiate with the Navy, or other service branches, on the basis of those terms; the faculty will have a chance to review any new proposal which falls within the Arts and Sciences; and the trustees will consider the results all, it is hoped, by the board's April 1984 meeting. The special committee will be chaired by Robert Henderson '53 and other members will be Lisle Carter '45, Michael Heyman '51, and Robert Field '43.

The 50th anniversary of the Orozco Murals in February was a cause for muchcelebration. Nine members of the painter's family were present, including (in addition to his grandson, Jose Clemente II '85) his son Clemente, right, who recalledfondly his two boyhood years in Hanover. "Jerry" Lathrop, left, who played a keyrole in bringing Orozco to Dartmouth, provided insight into the humble, gentle manunderneath the great artist. Gobin Stair '33, center, recalled that his chief interests asan undergraduate were "football, sex, and grade-B movies" until his experienceswatching and helping Orozco turned him to a life-long career as a painter himself.Two representatives of the Mexican government were among the other notableguests at the occasion.
