Neva Goodwin and Tom Hall at Commencement, June 2, 1990 4 Dear Friend of COA, Subsequent to the publication of our 1990-91 viewbook, there have been several changes and additions to our faculty, staff and trustees which we thought you would like to know about. Recent additions to our faculty include: JOHN COOPER, (B.A. Trenton State, 1975; M.A. Trenton State, 1981) will head our music program. His courses this coming year will range from Music Fundamentals to Aesthetics of Music to Improvisation. He also directs the COA choir and conducts the college jazz band. MARTIN KOEPPL (B.S. (equivalent) University of Munich, 1977; M.A. Wayne State University, 1980; Ph.D. Geography, Clark University, 1987) has been appointed to the faculty and will teach courses in both the Human Studies and Arts and Design resource areas. Charles T. Hesse, Vice President for Development and Public Affairs will step down from his present position on September 1st, 1990 and assume the new position of Consultant to the President for Special Projects. On September 1st, 1990, Dallas Darland (B.A. Howard University; M.A. Rutgers University) will become Vice President for Development and External Affairs. Dallas most recently served as Vice President for Development and Public Affairs at The State University of New York College at New Paltz and prior to that as Director of Development and Alumni Affairs at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Also, please note the following College of the Atlantic trustees who should be included with the listing in the 1990-91 viewbook: Thorndike, Mrs. R.

Disgruntled with traditional university education in Latin America, Gudynas has been instrumental in establishing a new college in Uruguay, called the "Multiver- sity" "a new word for a new concept," he says.

The quest for a healthy environment requires a revolution even more radical than Lenin's. It requires nothing less than creating a fundamentally improved society for every human being. Democratic economies must be created that sustain themselves without wars, THE without population growth, and without excessive waste products. We cannot celebrate Earth Day merely by loving our plant and animal neighbors. We must also celebrate and care for our human neighbors, be they white, black or green, Arab, Jew or Sikh, male, female, straight, The Spirit of Earth Day 1990 gay, rich, poor or anything else. Racism and sexism must be eliminated as surely as the frivolous or rapacious use of resources, because people who treat each other violently will not treat animals, plants and the environment any more kindly. In seeking redress of environmental decay, Earth Day 1990 cannot escape con- fronting these deeper human problems Will we and our descendants have the patience for this task? Will we be sufficiently open-minded to learn lessons even from those whom we have tradition- ally feared or disliked? Will we have the fortitude to make difficult, unpleasant decisions when necessary and to pay the costs of creating and maintaining a heal- thy biosphere? Let's hope that we remain lucky enough to have those choices.
