The Cauldron cordially (how else?) congratulates the centennial graduat- ing class on getting out of Northeast- ern, and on with life.
The staff hopes you've enjoyed your stay at our illustrious university and wishes you best of luck in the real world.
To make the transition into the world of paychecks and IRS sharpshooters (bad pun) more comfortable, we present you with this volume in memory (to quote the 1 926 Cauldron) "of the good old days, the many twin- kling smiles, and lasting friendships of Northeastern years."
Well, whatever, but here it is. 416 pages thick, 10" long, 9" wide. Not the perfect dimensions, we agree, but people are known to have done more with less (another bad one).
All humor aside (right!), we present to you the 1998 Centennial Cauldron, Northeastern's official yearbook.
Please do enjoy. For dirt&praise, e- mail the editors anytime during this lifetime at cauldron98@hotmail.com.

How does one say good-bye to college? And Boston? Come Sep- tember, a new batch of former me's will flock to this city, ready to ingest all it has to offer. And I? Well, like I said, I'll be on my chosen path. Well... whatever that means. Sad, huh? That's the problem with find- ing things that are dear to your heart
- you always gotta lose them, and then it hurts.
You know how it happens. Some- time towards the end of your fresh- man year, after some party in the suburbs, with your final one-too- many drink inyourhand you proudly announce: "I'm going back to Bos- ton, home." Then, as you're sitting in the T, vainly attempting to put on a look of sobriety, you say to yourself: "Hey, I guess I dm going home." That's how it all begins. By the time yourbrainwakesupyelling- HOME'S WHERETHECOMPANYSENDSYOU

By the timeyou're in the Fleet Center in your cap and gown, you don't even wantto leave. What can you do, right? The earth sti II- rotates: People move on. But you can never really let go of home, even when it's temporary.

Home is where the heart is, right?. And the heart, or so it seems, is always with people. You may hate them, you may wish them dead, especially during finals weeks in the dorms, but when it comes right down to it, you can't help but love them. That's the stuff that memories are made of. I, for one, will never forget my first acidexperienceand the guy (don't name any names!) who in- troduced me to it. Or my first room- mate, for that mat- ter. I spent two months adjusting to his sleep schedule, and now I'm realiz- ing that I'll probably miss him. But how can I not? The guy lived through a good dozen instances of what he called my "blatantly exhibition- ist copulation," not to mention that week I changed my major three times. Of course, ten years from now I'll prob- ably think this is all bullshit. Or e.lse I'll end up like one of those pathetic crea- tures that count the days before the next class reunion.
WHY
The real question is why. Why should any of this matter? Isn'tthisjustastep- §)g stone, a spring to suc- cess, a testing ground? What lies ahead, now that s supposed to be the un- discovered country. Today is the commencement of Real life, right? I'm with you on that. I'm just a bit... nos- talgic. Afraid. Not as much sof life, as of its lack; We've all seen people graduate, ,get their nine-to-five's, their pretty salaries, their blah blah benefits, an|j then what? I know this gliy who graduated the year before, now works as sorpe low [level consultant. Hasto live :in the suburbs. Triesio fuck jaround like a mad dog in heat in utter desperation to regain what he once was. I Jove him, but he's pathetic. I don't want that. I don't want to have to lose myself in the banality of my daily life and then have to com- pensate for it. I want to be me. I want to grow, I want to live happily, but I don't want to become a sheep. I want to be me.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF MULTITUDE
A short history of Northeastern, 1898- 1 998
In 1898, what was to become Northeast- ern University was embodied in a series of nisht courses in lawsponsored bythe Boston Young Men's Christian Association and Lowell Institute; and in the person of Frank Palmer Speare. Head of the YMCA's education divi- sion since 1 896, it was Speare whose imagi- nation, perseverance, and work enlarged the scope of course offerings and directed the organization development which culminated in the incorporation of Northeastern College in 1916.
The philosophy of Northeastern has al- ways been to offer unique educational op- portunities without overly duplicating the efforts of other local institutions. In 1898, the Evening Law School was one ofthe mainstays of the developing university for 55 years. The first formal program of the university, it of- fered working men the chance to study law at night. In 1953, the Law School was phased out for 1 7 years because it seemed to dupli- cate unnecessarily the efforts of the many local law schools which had been estab- lished during the first half of the twentieth century.
The philosophy of offering unique oppor- tunities sprang from the fact that the Evening Institute courses were entirely dependent on community interest for their success or fail- ure. To become just one more in a large number of institutions offering duplicate pro- grams would have spread the public too thin. The Evening Institute thus offered unique opportunities, procuring the entire segment ofthe community interested in its particular programs.
With Speare's perseverance and initiative, the Evening Institutegrew from "aneraserand two sticks of chalk" into a viable organization. Early successes were achieved through the
teamwork of its organizers and the enthusi- asm of its students.
In the early years of the Evening Institute, Speare inaugurated many courses, some of which populated, others of which died for lack of interest. The unsuccessful course is exemplified by one called Knots and Splices which Speare conceived simply because he knew a retired sea captain available to teach it and because he thought it would be useful and intriguing. No one shared his interest enough to enroll, and the course was never taught.
In 1903, the YMCA's Education Division opened the world's first Automobile School, offering three courses: a general course in motor transport; a course for those interested in the industry of automobiles; and a course in auto-maintenance. In many ways, the Au- tomobile School was a harbinger of future Northeastern philosophies. The establishment of the school reflected a community need: that of absorbing new phenomenon of the automobile into existing social patterns.
In 1907, responding to the relatively new idea of academic training for businessmen, the Evening Institute formed a School of Commerce and Finance. Some of the earliest courses offered by the YMCA si nee the 1860s had been typing and bookkeeping for the training of clerks. By the turn of the century, business had become more complex and it became desirable to educate businessmen to more modern techniques of administra- tion and to more contemporary business ethics.
In 1910, the School of Commerce and Finance was incorporated and in 191 1 , it was granted the power to confer bachelors and masters degrees in commercial science. The name of the school became the School of

In 1912, The Evening Institute's Cooperative Engineering School had 18 faculty members and 70 students.

Business in the undergraduate evening divi- sion in 1928, with Carl D. Smith serving as dean. It became the largest school in the evening division, with graduate work added to the program in 1950.
The school most closely related to its present-day counterpart, the Cooperative Engineering School, was also started in 1 909, the second institute in the United States to operate on the cooperative plan. Herman Scheider, the originator of the plan, had be- gun the country's first co-op engineering courses in 1906, at the University of Cincin- nati.
The Evening Institute's Cooperative Engi- neering School opened in 1909 with an en- rollment of eight. The following year, courses in civil engineering were offered to the bur- geoning enrollment of 30 students.
The 1912 Catalog of the Evening Institute delineates the rapid growth of the coopera- tive Engineering School: Faculty: 18, Enroll- ment: 70, School expense: (including YMCA membership) $100 per year, Rooms at the YMCA: $1 .50 per week and up, Boardatthe YMCA: $3.50 per week.
From 70 students in 1912, enrollment reached 235 by 1 91 8, and more than doubled to 592 by 1 920, when tuition had climbed to $175 per year (with $10 student activities fee). Obviously the Engineering School, with the added attraction of co-op employment was something the public needed and wanted.
Until 1 909, the Chauncey Hall School gave day classes in the same YMCA facilities used by the Evening Institute at night, located at the corner of Boylston and Berkeley streets. When the Chauncey School relocated, leav- ing the YMCA vacant during the day, Speare suggested that the sp^e be used by the Evening Institute to conduct day classes. Speare envisioned a new type of college preparation school, providing individual su- pervision of students,- programs of sports and activities,- and college preparatory edu-
cation at a cost between that of private board- ing schools and evening schools.
Until 1 91 0, the Evening Education Division operated in the Boylston street YMCA. In that year, the building burned down and for months classes were held in rooms provided by the City of Boston, the Boston YMCA, Boston University, MIT, and after that, "in various buildings on Huntington and Massa- chusetts avenues."
The YMCA decided to rebuild, not on Ar- lington street, as originally planned, but on Huntington avenue. The section of Huntington avenue which appealed to the YMCA directors in 1910, was an open field which lay beyond Symphony Hal I and had been the site of the first world Series games in 1903.
The Main Building was completed in 1913. The Catalog of the Evening Division for that year boasted of the facilities provided in the new building, including "a fine gymnasium, bowling alleys, swimming pool, cafe, dormitories, shops and laboratories, library and reading room, camera club rooms, social and recreative rooms, and auditorium."
While educating a good lawyer or engineer, the Education Division retained its desire to concurrently build men of good character. The 1913 Catalog thus exhorts students to avoid excessive social and athletic activities. Further- more, "it is assumed that students come to the school for a serious purpose, and that they will cheerfully conform to such regulations as may from time to time be made... Students are expected to behave with decorum... and to pay due respect to (the School's) officers." For students commuting to school, the Catalog points out that the facil ities are easily accessible by various railroads and electric trolley cars.
The Education Division sponsored various monthly socials and entertainments for the "exclusive enjoyment" of its students, includ- ing an outdoor fields meet, held annually in May. Some of the more unique activities included a Congress, similar in composition to the national body, with each student rep-
chool expenses for the Cooperative Engineering School, including membership at the YMCA, were around $100 in 1915

resenting a state. The overall atmosphere of the prewar schools more resembled a junior high of today. The school day went from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a 30-minute break for a "light luncheon." Students were not permit- ted to leave the building without permission except at lunch time. The 1914 Catalog ex- plained, "The pupil's time belongs to the school and is at the disposal of the teacher in thesamewayasitwouldbeatthecommand of an employer."
The popularity, variety, and ever-increas- ing formalization of Education Division pro- grams led in March, 1916, to the incorpora- tion of Northeastern College. The 1916 Cata- log declares, "The College is not a new insti- tution, but the realization of an ideal carefully worked out and persistently followed for a period of twenty years." Since its beginnings in 1 898, the student enrol I ment had i ncreased by 768 per cent, from 41 9 to 3,269 students. The number of teachers had risen from 1 2 to 214,- the number of courses had increased from 20 to 336; and the budget had gone from $2,800 to $185,418.
The School of Liberal Arts opened in Sep- tember of 1916. The purpose of the school was to offer the advantages of a bachelor's degree in a reduced number of years. Requir- ing only two years of study to obtain a certifi- cate of advanced standing qualifying the student for day study at a regular liberal arts school, the plan allowed the students to work during the day while studying at night at Northeastern. The wages detailed in the 1 91 6 Catalog of the Co-operative Engineering School ranged from $5 per week for first year students, to $10 per week for seniors.
In 1 921 , the Department of Student Activi- ties was officially established, including the following divisions: publications, athletics, and miscellaneous. Under Speare's adminis- tration, the activities were funded through a $10 Student Activities Fee which was later increased with student approval to $1 5.

established on a university level in 1 924, with letter awards and eligibility requirements.
The Miscellaneous Activities included mass meetings, Field Day, the Rush, Student Coun- cil, and other minor activities. Initiated in 1910, Field Day was developed to major proportions by Speare in 1920, and contin- ued on into the late 30s It was essentially a family picnic, so when the university grew too large the event became unfeasible. The loss of events such as Field Day is perhaps among the more expensive costs of becom- ing a large university. It is this warm and personal touch which is most clearly absent from the university today.
In 1922 the College of Business Adminis- tration was established by the Board of Gov- ernors in recognition of the nascent science of business administration. Heretofore, col- leges had offered descriptive courses in busi- ness, but analytical courses with a scientific approach were a relatively new phenom- enon. The faculty of the new college was largely drawn fro the School of Commerce and Finance. The tuition fee was $250 per year, including YMCA membership.
The need to establish a campus with ad- equate new facilities was felt simultaneously with the need to separate Northeastern from the YMCA. In 1922, the school's name was officially changed to Northeastern University, and in the same year three trustees were elected who weren't simultaneously direc- tors of the YMCA.
The Automobile School, begun in 1903, when the car was still an experimental mar- vel, was discontinued in 1926, when it be- came evident that society had accepted the auto. Outlying branches of Northeastern had been developed between 1 91 7 and 1 920, in Worchester, Springfield, Providence, New Haven, and Bridgeport. These schools mainly offered courses for the law degree. As the Boston campus grew, these faraway associa- tions were gradually terminated, although four present-day institutions resulted:
In 1928, marijuana was still legal and Northeastern University still celebrated the Husky's birthdays.

The student body was steadily increasing and the need for buildings which ad been desperate since 1920, made it imperative by 1930 to develop a luilding plan. The development of a separate campus would promote the ought-for separation from theYMCA, which had been marked in 1924 by the eparation of the university financial accounts from those of the YMCA.
The university thus had its own funds to spend, and in 1 929 the first parcel

The YMCA also transferred title to the Botolph Building and the land >n which it stands. On Kent Street, in Brookline, a five-acre plot which had )een used as an athletic field for several years, was purchased and a field louse was erected. This of course, was to become Parsons Field.
Concurrent with the growth of the Northeastern campus, was the continu- ng growth in student activities. The second Director of Student Activities, fom 1926 to 1929, was Professor Harold W. Melvin, who had joined the acuity in 1920 and became head of the English department the following

year. In 1929, Melvin was appointed the first Dean of Students and his position in activities was filled by EdwardS. Parsons. Underthese men new activities srew and existins activi- ties flourished.
Sisma Delta Epsilon, an honor society in the new Collese of Business Administration was founded in 1925. A revamped Student Council came to life in 1924. In the same year a Student Union was formed. From 1922 until 1926, the new College of Business Adminis- tration developed a group of activities paral- leling those of the Engineering School. They organized their own dramatic club, Student Union, Student Council, orchestra, newspa- per (The Bulletin), and yearbookfjhe Admin- istrator, first published in 1926). The imprac- ticality of such duplication led to the com- bining of groups in the next few years. The Bulletin fused with The Tech, in February, 1926; and in 1929, The Administrator joined with Cauldron.
In dramatics, a series of annual all-univer- sity shows took place between 1924 and 1934. Sixof these were original musical com- edies combing the talents of students and certain faculty members, including Melvin himself. The climax of the series was "Banned in Boston" - a production with a cast of 75, an orchestra of 50, and a puppet prologue - - which was presented in the Arlington The- atre.
The bylaws of the university were amended in 1 936 to formalize the Northeastern Corpo- ration with 75 members by and from which the Board of Trustees was to be elected. There were to be four standing committees on the board: Executive, Development, Funds and Investments, and Housing. An architec- tural competition was held by the Trustees' Committee on Housing and the Executive Council. The plan for a campus designed by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch,and Abbottwas selected.
In October, 1 934, the Trustees establ ished the Committee on Development to raise funds
for the construction of the first building. The optimism of the trustees is seen in theiradop- tion during a time of economic depression, of a plan calling for the construction of build- ings at a cost of over $3.5 million.
The i mmediate construction of at least one building became vital as it was realized that the College of Engineering would not be accredited unless it had more adequate fa- cilities. Funds for the first building were raised by widespread solicitations. When the build- ing was completed, its $800,000 cost had been met by a mortgage which was cleared in 1940. Ground was broken for the first building on September 29, 1937, and the cornerstone was laid in November. The new structure, designated as the West Building, was occupied in June, 1938.
In October, 1 938, at the "Fortieth Anniver- sary and Dedicatory Exercises" held in the Boston Opera House, the West Building and the university's new building at 47 Mount Vernon street were dedicated. The latter was called the School of Law Building, and had been bought for dayand evening lawclasses which had begun in September of that year. While the campus was becoming a visible entity, the colleges were expanding and de- veloping, simultaneously requiring the provi- sion of more space. In 1 936, the Cooperative Engineering School became the College of Engineering, but the greater development was happening in Liberal Arts.
The College of Liberal Arts began in 1935, with 35 students on the co-op plan . Accord- ing to the 1935 Catalog, the School of Arts and Sciences was established on two prin- ciples: that a man should have a broad un-l derstanding of "the main currents of human activity",- and that studies "without sacrificing their liberal value," should prepare a man for a useful career.
Meanwhile, athletics at Northeastern also continued to grow: Hockey was initiated by H. Nelson Raymond '28, who coached the first season in 1920-30. Another important

igure i n the growth of hockey at Northeastern vas Herbert Gallagher, who played as an jndergraduate, coached the team for fifteen ;easons, and finally became Athletic Director )f all sports activities. Football was a product )f administrative rather than student initia- te.
In 1935, the need for a mascot for the ithletic teams became evident. A suggestion rontest held by The News aroused various esponses from an ant, to an elephant, to a see: finally a Husky was the chosen symbol. )ean Carl Ell made a winter trip to Poland Springs, Maine, returning with the news that .eonard Seppala, internationally known xeeder and racer of Siberian Huskies, had jiven a dog to the university to serve as nascot.
The dog arrived in Boston on March 9, 927, and was met at North Station by a parade including 1200 students, the North- astern Band, and a float on which King Husky was to be carried to his realm. On the march )ackto campus there was an incident of egg- ind snow-throwing by students in the Bos- on University business administration build- ng on Boylston street. The Boston Police noved into the building and confiscated :rates of eggs and vegetables, while the Northeastern boys "refused to retaliate" and :ontinued back to campus.
The 1939 Catalog delineates some of the :hanges that had taken place in the university )verthe preceding decade. The tuition had :limbed to $250 per year, with additional :harges of a "general Library and Materials ee" of $1 2 annually; and a Student Activities :ee of $15 annually. The Student Activities ee included membership in the Northeast- ern University Athletic Association, and sub- .cription to the Northeastern News. It also provided for the services available from the jniversity physician. Co-op wages had not isen considerably from the early teens: the minimum range had gone from $5-10 per veek, to $1 2-1 6 per week. At this point the

co-op periods were ten weeks in length, a Iternati ng with ten weeks of c lassroom work.
The same conduct was expected from students as had been demanded in 1913. The 1 939 Catalog exhorts students to "devote themselves to the work of the University be- tween 9:00am and 5:00pm except for a lunch period.... "Careful attendance was taken at all classes, and all students were required to attend their Mass Meetings, sponsored from noon till 1 pm every Wednesday by the Stu- dent Activities Department.
The number of fraternities on campus had risen to ten, each having a faculty advisor responsible for the proper administration of the fraternity house. At this point, the frater- nity houses were the only housing available to students aside from rooms in the YMCA. Students were under no circumstances eli- gible to lease apartments, and the attempt to do so was considered a breach of discipline.
Certain clubs and professional societies had grown at Northeastern by 1939, includ- ing an International Relations Club, Banking Club, Rifle Club, Astronomy Club, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American | -^ ..■, , , •* j
Institute of Chemical Engineers, and Ameri- I NOTV
can Institute of Electrical Engineers.
In 1 934, the university became a coeduca- tional institution, based on precedent set by the Automobile School, and later by the Evening Law School. With the addition of women came a sorority, Sigma Phi Psi, and the Omega Sigma Society, organized for all women students to "derive social, moral, and intellectual benefits for both themselves and the University."
In 1940, Frank Palmer Speare retired as President of Northeastern to become Presi- dent Emeritus. Upon his death in May, 1954, his successor, President Carl S. Ell, declared, "Speare was, without question, an outstand- ing leader. It was his indomitable enthusiasm and optimism which made Northeastern possible in the early days in the face of many discouraging experiences which met the

development of the educational work which is now Northeastern University."
Displayinssreatforesisht,Speare had writ- ten a "professional Will and Council" which was filed through Dodge with the Board of Trustees in 1937. In this "will" Speare de- clared his willingness to retire at seventy "if it would be of benefit to Northeastern." Speare's feeling of identity with the university even after his retirement is poignantly shown in his statement, "I am purchasing several new shoes because I find my old ones take me up Huntington Avenue, in spite of all I can do."
Speare's successor, Carl Stephens Ell, was president from 1 940 to 1 959. Often referred to as "Mr. Northeastern", Ell was " the central force which made possible the building of a university, in terms of campus and structures,- growth in colleges, numbers of students, and corresponding educational status,- majorand minor innovations within the university which even now have become traditional". A good deal of Ell's work remains in its original con- dition, other things have changed or been replaced by his successor. Nevertheless, the period of Ell's presidency was a dynamic one.
In September, 1 940, after three months as President, Ell reported to the Trustees that he had $30 thousand in gifts for a building fund and proposed that construction of a building smaller than the West Building be undertaken immediately. The resulting new building
housed the chemical engineering depart mentand provided for an expanded biolog department, a temporary student lunchroom offices, and classrooms. The new buildin; was called Science Hall and later became part of the Mugar Building.
By 1944, the original design for the nev Northeastern was revised. Inter-connectior of buildings was discarded in favor of sepa rate buildings with connecting basemen passages. In the same year, the trustees votec to raise $1 million for further construction including a proposed building for student: with an auditorium and gymnasium to b< added later. The Student Center and Audita rium, now known respectively as the Curr Student Center and Blackman Auditorium were dedicated on October 5, 1947.
In addition came new activities and club: including a Camera Club, Chess Club, Debat- ing Society, German Club, Mathematics Soci: ety, and Yacht Club. By the 50s, the Dramatic Club was called the Silver Masque, and com bined with the music clubs to put on annua midwinter entertainment. Tuition by 194' was still $250, howeverthe Student Activities Fee was up to $1 6 and the "Library Fee", nov called "University Fee" had gone up to $24'
As the colleges were growing, the libran had become totally inadequate. Originally the university had used the library of the YMCA. By 1 929 the university had a separate growing collection of nearly 13,000 book

housed in the YMCA. The construction of a university library, then known as Dodge Li- brary, was determined by the overflow, and the need of the YMCA to use the space they had been loaning to Northeastern. Ground- breaking ceremonies were held on August 29, 1959, and the old tennis courts were converted to a more valuable purpose.
Between 1947 and 1948 the university acquired the land bounded by Hemenway, St.Stephens, and Forsyth streets, a plot of four acres which had passed through many hands since its reclamation from the tidewa- ters of Back Bay. This became the North Park- ing area, and included tennis courts and a space for track practice before "the Cage" was built. The area is currently the site of Stetson Hall.
In 1951, a building on Forsyth street, va- cated by Sylvania Electric, was acquired and remodeled into the Forsyth Building, provid- ing additional areas for ROTC and instruc- tional departments. By 1 951 , the central cam- pus on the south side of the avenue was established. Twelve acres with frontage of 1300 feet had been acquired in 14 separate purchases of land.
Campus growth continued when the Physi- cal Education Center was begun in the sum- mer of 1952, and completed in 1954. On February 26, 1957, the two buildings of the center were named the Godfrey Lowel I Cabot Physical Education Center, on the occasion of Cabot's 96th birthday. Cabot had been a member of the Corporation since 1 941 .
To provide offices for the Evening Division and more classrooms, a seventh building was constructed between 1955 and 1956. On October 24, 1 956, the name of the new building became Hayden Hall "in recogni- tion of the gift from the Charles Hayden Foun- dation."
The college of Education began in 1953, as a four-year full-time school, in response to the postwar teacher shortage, particularly at the elementary level. Lester S. VanderWerf
was the first Dean of the College of Educa- tion. In 1957, the teacher internship part of the program was initiated.
Certain members of the faculty of this de- cade would in the proceeding twenty years, move to positions of more prominence in the university. Eugene J. Blackman went from assistant professor of English to become Chair- man of the Department of Drama and Speech; Sidney Herman went from instructor in eco- nomics to become Associate Dean of Fac- ulty,- Christopher F. Kennedy began as an assistant professor of mathematics and be- came Dean of Students,- and Kenneth G. Ryder, an instructor of history and government, was to become President.
The student activities outlined in the 1953 Catalog reflect the ever-widening scope of interests of the student body. Among the newer clubs were an art club, biology club, Hus-Skiers, psychology club, and square dance club. The noon hour on Wednesday continued to be reserved for convocations at which attendance was required. The state- ment in the 1953 Catalog relative to conduct was an almost verbatim transcript from the 1916 Catalog.
The Omega Society for women had devel- oped a wide variety of programs for co-eds in the ten years of its existence. Aside from a Mother and Daughter Tea, and a Big Sister Banquet for freshmen, the group coordinated with the Student Union in sponsoring an annual Christmas partyforchildren from com- munity centers.
While providing no housing for men aside from frat houses, Northeastern did acquire some residences for women on Marlborough street. No students were permitted to rent apartments without the Registrar's approval.
Knowles, who was to succeed Ell as presi- dent, left Northeastern and became Dean of the School of Business Administration and Director of general College Extension at Rhode Island State College in 1942. He was founder and president of the Associated Colleges of

By 1956, the Boston Opera House, which had been losins money, was condemned as unsafe by the City of Boston. Northeastern bousht the land and the building, later re- moving the building and making the area a parking lot. By 1958, with Churchill Hall just completed, the campus plan announced in 1934 was essentially completed. The result was a set of buildings constructed at a cost of $8 million. But expansion and improvement continued.
In his 1957-58 Report to the Corporation, Ell announced he would retire on June 30, 1959, to be replaced by Dr. Asa Smallidge Knowles as "a man of strong and forceful character, a fine educational background, and proved capacity as an educational ad- ministrator." Another administrative change was the appointment of Professor Kenneth G. Ryder, Secretary of the Faculty since 1955, to the new position of Dean of Administration of the Day Colleges.
UniversityCollegewasestablishedin1960, offering courses leading to various degrees, aimed specifically at the adult wishing to pursue part-time study at night. While draw- ing heavi ly upon the day school for its faculty, University College was not intended merely to offer the day school courses at night. Rather, the courses were tailored to "meet the particular needs of adults desiring formal programs of professional development on a part-time basis."
The 1 962 Report of the President, subtitled "Gathering Momentum" displays the effect of the increasing speed of the sixties on the university. The sixties was a decade of ever- increasing speed, and sometimes sudden collision. Northeastern was propelling itself into its own race for drastic monumental expansion and improvement: The Diamond Anniversary Development Program. Unfortu-

1957 The Boston Opera House, which had been losing money for years, was condemned as unsafe by the City of Bos- ton giving Northeastern a chance to buy the land and the building.

ately, somewhere in its race for expansion, ne institution left the students behind, breathl- essly bewildered and tryinsnotto lose touch lith the university as itsrew larserand more

The Musar Life Science Building, the addi- on to Science Hall besun in 1961, was the rst structure completed under the Diamond anniversary Prosram, a project which was lanned to result in the construction of a ampus includins 24 buildings and athletic elds by 1973, the university's 75th anniver- ary year.
The university acquired a former Nike mis- ile site in Burlington in 1962, and began onstruction of the suburban campus. In Sep- ;mber, 1962, the New England College of harmacy became the Northeastern Univer- ity College of Pharmacy, ceasing indepen- lent operations and adopting the five-year o-op plan.
In the field of student activities, a new terary publication had been established, he NU Writer. Other new clubs included an ojto Club, Jazz Society, Politics Club, Soci- logy Society, Sport Parachute Club, and a econd women's society, Gamma Delta. In ddition, there were twenty various national irofessional societies.
Incredibly, the dogma concerning student onduct was exactly the same in 1962 as in 91 6. With all the radical changes in plant and urriculum, the students were still consid- red "employees" of the university.
In 1963, Northeastern began programs of ffiliation with Forsyth School for Dental Hy- ienists and the Massachusetts General Hos- )ital School of Nursing. The Affiliated Nurs- lg Program adopted the name College of Jursing in 1964. The three year program was perated on the co-op plan, with academic ^ork in the last two years at Northeastern Iternating with co-op periods at one of iree affiliated hospitals.
By 1964, the Suburban Campus was a uccess beyond expectations. In addition to
350 freshmen, the new campus facility was serving 3,500 students in State-Of-The-Art courses. The idea of cooperative education was apparently appropriate for the sixties. While fulfilling a need for semiskilled, col- lege-educated labor, it also gave students a more immediate exposure to the realities of the business world.
The present quarter plan was developed in 1964, and adopted by the Faculty Senate, the President, and the Board of Trustees. The academic year was divided into four equal parts in order to provide longer periods of instruction, which was deemed beneficial to the academic quality of Northeastern cur- ricula.
In 1964, Speare Hall, named after the first president of the university, and housing 400 women, was officially dedicated. The Dia- mond Anniversary Plan was marching on with the official opening of the Burlington Campus also taking place.
The College of Nursing was given a head- quarters in the Spring of 1966, when Mary Gass Robinson Hall was dedicated. The build- ing also housed the Riesman Biology Center, and new labs for the Physical Therapy De- partment.
The late sixties began a public outcry for "law and order". As social pressure was ex- erted on the country's police forces, the need was recognized for more and better trained policemen and law enforcement ad- ministrators. In 1966 a grant from the Ford Foundation assured the opening in 1 967 of a College of Criminal Justice, with a curriculum designed to train municipal and state per- sonnel.
The Physics-Electrical Engineering Research Building was dedicated in May, 1967, and named after Charles A. Dana, industrialist, philanthropist, and university benefactor.
Stetson Hall East, housing 400 women, was opened in September 1967, while ground-breaking ceremonies were held for the Bouve and Chemistry Buildings. An addi-

Student unrest was on the rise in 1 968, an outgrowth of the rise of an academic youth in revolt against established social and political processes. In the Spring of 1968, the Black Student Concern Committee proposed in- creases in the number of Black students and staff, increases in financial aid, and increases in Black cultural and racism courses. Another cause of student unrest was the increasing discontent arising from involvement in Viet- nam. Social problems like poverty and crime were also evoking concern.
In September, 1 968, the Student Concern Committee presented a list of demands to the administration, including demands for a student court; voluntary upperclass dormi- tory residence; voluntary dormitory residence for freshmen with parental consent; a student voice in tuition, hiring, and curriculum poli- cies,- a nonprofit bookstore,- a student-se- lected food service,- the dispensation of birth control information through the Health Ser- vices,- the immediate construction of a new library,- and for an observational seat on the Board of Trustees.
The period from Apn I 30 to May 13,1 969, was fraught with controversy over ROTC. The students for a Democratic Society (SDS) de- manded immediate abolition of the ROTC program and the replacement of ROTC schol- arships with University scholarships. These demands were rejected and resulted in a takeover by 40 students of the Interfaith Lounge of the Ell Building. The situation was resolved peacefully after about five hours.
The controversy over Black Studies came to a head in February, 1969, when members of the Black student body submitted a pro- posal for the establishment of an Afro-Ameri- can Institute and Black Studies Department which would offer a degree in Black Studies. The Board of Trustees approved the use of
the Forsyth Annex as an Afro-American Insti- tute. The building was subsequently remod- eled and equipped for use by the Black students at Northeastern, and is now known as the John D. O'Bryant Institute.
The experimental institution of pass-fail courses was arranged to begin in Septem- ber, 1969. This plan allowed for one course per quarter to be taken pass-fail, provided it was not required in a student's major. Simul- taneously, conditional exams, the means by which students had previously been able to override failing grades, were eliminated.
As the shortcomings of the library became more and more blatant, the Trustees gave approval to a plan for a new building which would allow space for a vastly expanded library and an education resources develop- ment center. Estimated construction cost of $6.3 million was to be ameliorated by a $750,000 federal grant under the Title One section of the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1 963. Construction of the multistory com- plex was delayed in 1970, and rescheduled for 1971 as further funding was sought from other sources.
When, on April 30, 1970, President Nixon announced that American Troops were go- ing to cross the border into Cambodia in an attempt to restore the recently deposed gov- ernment, Northeastern 's normally apathetic masses were moved to protest, with the endorsement of the faculty. On May 1 3, a group of 50 students marched to President Knowles's office to demand he cease his efforts to undermine the strike, referring to announcements in the news media that nor- malcy had returned to Northeastern.
Normalcy was actually a wispy dream as a police raid on Hemenway street on May 1 1 , culminated the three nights of sudden block parties and street activity which had caused complaints from neighborhood residents. One hundred and fifty tactical policemen stormed down Hemenway street wielding clubs and feeling the pain of hurled bottles
Student unrest was on the rise, fueled, among other things, by increasing discontent with America's involvement in Vietnam.
1 969 The $2.3 million bipartite building housing the School of Law and the Col- lege of Criminal Justice was completed.
!70 Northeastern masses moved to protest after renewed clashes with the : administration regarding the ROTC pro- gram and GE's presence on campus. On May 11, police raided Hemenway Street i in an attempt to break street activity j there that caused complaints from neigh- borhood residents.

and other debris. At least 20 students were injured, and much property damage was sustained. The Mayor's office launched an investigation to pin blame for the not on either the students or the police.
In other areas, WNEU prepared to con- vert to WRBB, an FM station. The Office of Educational Resources was developing a new course in psychology utilizing video- tapes lectures in a self-instruction format. The ground-breaking for a new library was still set for summer until nearly the last minute, when a substantial increase in the projected cost led to the postponement of the project for an indefinite period of time. The project was ultimately abandoned.
In 1 968, ground was broken for the $2.3 million bipartite building to house the School of Law and the College of Criminal Justice. The law library, containing over 1 00,000 volumes would also be housed in the new building. Charles and Estelle Dockser Hall was dedicated the same year. Finally, the Barletta Natatorium, housing a pool and recreational facilities, was com- pleted in 1968.
On March 1 4, 1 973, Knowles announced that he would resign after June 1975, as- suming the role of Chancellor in order to continue his fund-raising activities. Ken- neth G. Ryder was chosen to succeed Knowles as president, and he assumed this position in 1975.
The Trustees recognized changing mo- res as they approved a staff gynecologist for the Health Services in Spring of 1973. Girls were to be charged $1 5 for the use of this service, and the doctor was still not allowed to dispense birth control devices, although referrals were to be permitted.
Classes were canceled for five days in February of 1 978 when the great Bl izzard of 78 hit the New England area. Boston was buried, in some parts, under 44 inches of
snow. Thousands of residents living along the coast were left homeless. The university spent $195,000 for the cleanup, further reddening an already overblown snow re- moval budget for that horrendous winter by $220,000.
As the apartheid situation in South Af- rica increasingly drew the attention of civic groups and societal spokespeople, stu- dent organizations began to criticize Northeastern's investments in American companies doing business in that region.
To shorten the waiting list for university housing, administrators struck a deal with the YMCA in August of 1977 to have 150 students move into the top two floors of the building where Northeastern got its start. As we all now, the YMCA housing has since remained as a staple of Northeastern life.
For the first time since the time of the Vietnam war, the front Quad became a site of student protest during the Winter of
1 979, as the American-Iranian conflict was escalating. This time, however, most Ameri- can students were supporting the Ameri- can government instead of criticizing it. Iranian flags were burned in effigy in retali- ation to demonstrators in Iran burning the American flag.
Carl Stephen Ell, perhaps the man most responsible for building the largest private co-op university in the United States, died April 17, 1981 in Newton.
The Husky hockey teams made leaps in

Although campus growth had begun to slow down, improvements were still being done to the Northeastern campus. In 1985, the Quad acquired a new look with grass, benches, and the formation of what during the 80s was known as Mt. Ryder. The space in front of Churchill Hall, long used as a miniature parking area was finally landscaped into a pleas- ant half-circle of grass and benches.
In 1986, commuters' prayers were fi- nally answered when the Ruggles stop of the new Orange line was opened near the Northeastern campus. This improve- ment gave Northeastern a new front door which, by 1 995, would lead visitors to a brand-new Centennial Common and the impressive facade of the Classroom building. To accommodate driving com- muters, a new six-level parking facility was built off of Columbus Avenue in 1987.
Athletics profited from a remodeling of the Cabot Cage, and the opening of a permanent rowing facility, the Henderson Boathouse. Finally, a new library was completed in time for Fall of 1991 .
On December 1989, John A. Curry, a five year university vice-president, was inaugurated as the fifth president of Northeastern University. His selection was special in that he was the first NU alum- nus to serve as its president. Controversy surrounded his selection as president due to the lack of participation on the Selection Committee.
As Northeastern grew larger and older, its alumni began to pop up in the news and around the world. Northeastern graduate Gregory Jarvis, an alum, was among the seven astronauts killed in Janu- ary of 1986 when the space shuttle Chal- lenger exploded, 74 seconds after take- off from Cape Canaveral.

In June if 1993, United States Presi- dent Bill Clinton spoke at the Northeast- ern graduation ceremony in the Boston Garden.
In the mid-90s, the rise of the North- eastern campus began anew with the construction of the $8 million Classroom Building. In October 1996, a new re- search building was completed and named after Richard Egan who financed the project. Finally, in Novemberof 1996 a third building was completed. This $12 million recreation center was named af- ter Roger Marino, who donated $5.5 mil- lion to the project.
In 1 998, John A. Curry announced plans to resign his presidency. After a national search was conducted, Richard A. Freeland was chosen to become Northeastern's sixth president. He was inaugurated on January 17, 1998.
After visiting Northeastern in the Fall of 1996, former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachevannounced that Northeastern will be the North American home of the Gorbachev Foundation.
Much decorative work was done on and around the Northeastern campus between 1996 and 1998. The path from the Student Center to Ryder Hall under- went major landscaping, and a new title and look now adorns the back Quad: Centennial Quadrangle. Much work has also been done to make the university appealing from the Columbus Avenue entrance.
In 1998, Northeastern celebrated its first Centennial through a yearlong pro- gram of exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and festivities. The first hundred years are now over. The future awaits.

Nothins much happened at NU during the summer: seniors tried to lake up all their incompletes so they can graduate by September, soon- >be freshmen took guided tours around campus. Meanwhile, the /orld boiled. After 156 years of British colonial rule, Hong Kong gained s sovereignty. Well, sort of - it reverted back to China. Talk about a agedy in disguise of a blessing!

No aliens were iscovered, but many photographs revealing close-up views of the tenet were retrieved by NASA scientists. Back on Earth, Cambodian scond Primier, Hun Sen, ousted First Premier Prince Norodom, and Mike /son bit off the ear of his opponent, Evander Holyfield. In the U.S. mate, campaign fund-raising hearings opened, with Republicans ac- jsing Democrats and Democrates yelling back at Republicans - your Dvemment at work! In Miami, famous fashion designer Gianni Versace 'as shot and killed right outside his oceanfront villa. On a brighter side,

the IRArenewed cease-fire in Northern Ireland. The rest of Europe was also being friendly, offering six nations from Eastern Europe to join their very own club, the EU. In France, cops cracked down on pedophilia, which prompted many of the suspected pedophiles to commit suicide. That's what the French call effective police work. Back in the United States, the Supreme Court overturned the Communications Decency Act, a provision in the 1 996 Telecom- munications Act that made it a crime to display or distribute "inde- cent" or "patently offensive" material to minors over on-line computer, networks. Computer geeks and web freaks rejoiced! In sports, Jan Ulrich of Germany won the Tour de France, Sampras beat Cedric Pioline to win his 10th career Grand Slam at Wimbledon, while Martina Hingis captured the Wimbledon women's title. In America, the Cleveland Indians of the American League beat the Seattle Mariners of the National League. Back home in Massachusetts, Gov- ernor Weld quit his post to press Washington for an ambassadorship in Mexico.

Northeastemites finished summer school and started... au- tumn school. Ah, the wind of change! Meanwhile, the world behaved like a crazy lunatic throughout August and Septemii ber, only pausing for tragedy. Of course, all the usual things; happened too. Netanyahu continued to pursue his clampdown on Palestinians by refusing to ease harsh sanctions imposed or| West Bank and Gaza. In response to Palestinian bombings,] Netanyahu closed the borders of the West Bank and Gaze, Strip, prohibiting the passage of commercial and medices supplies. Palestinians responded with more "martyrdom at- tacks." Basically, the Middle East continued on its usual route^ Meanwhile, the "Mir" station did quite the opposite, requirini its crew to perform major repairs. Now, to the craziness. First Apple's greatest rival, Microsoft, announced that it woulc invest $150 million in Apple and pay Apple some $1 00 millior|j in cross-licencing arrangements. Aha? Then, Scottish scien- tists cloned a lamb with human genes. First of all, who ever,

Not that much was expected of the French, but ranting religious rights to a cult-slash-corporation is too luch, even for the crazy month of August. Back in the New forld, 25 million pounds of beef were recalled after officials l Colorado linked an outbreak of E. coli bacteria poisoning to amburgers produced by a company called Hudson Foods, he company most affected by the recall (aside from Hudson self) was Burger King, which had been using Hudson's beef, d for a few days, chicken aside, Burger King was meatless, egetarians all over the country rejoiced. The last piece of raziness of these two months consisted of Ted Turner donat- ig $1 billion, a third of his total assets, to United Nations. Bill iates(who, by the way, with assets totalling $36.4 billion, was amed the richest man in the world by Forbes Magazine)
smiled quietly, and proceeded to recount his money. In more normal news, WorldCom made a $30 billion hostile bid for MCI, while Boeing was given the go-ahead by EU to merge with McDonnell Douglas. Who knows, maybe size does mat- ter. In news that are both good and normal, R.J. Reynolds agreed to drop the Joe Camel character from advertisements for its Camel brand cigarettes. A newer and better character is probably already in the works. Children beware! Now, to the tragedies. First of all, Mother Teresa died. Of course, her death was completely overshadowed by the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Whales and Victim of Paparazzi. Diana was gravely injured when the car in which she was travelling crashed in an underpass in Paris. Well, even her death was glamorous, not to mention the funeral. With far less pomp, William Burroughs died, and with him, so did the Beat. Meanwhile, Northeastern's beat was strong as students prepared for midterms, Hallow- een, and Thanksgiving.

With the first days of school firmly behind, Northeastern was spinnins into its usual rhythm. The world too was spinnins, and sc were world events. In a move equal to a Hollywood plot twist, twc operatives of Israel's foreisn spy asency Mossad attempted tc assassinate the leader of Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement The failed attempt prompted international outrage, and resulted ir the release of 20 Palestinian and Jordanian prisoners, including Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed yassin. Talk about digging a note for oneself. In a different hole, the fifth Communist Party congress was held. Some 1 ,500 delegates attended the congress in Havana, Cuba': capital. After the congress was over... Cuba was still in a hole Surprise! Can it be that a certain superpower can't put a stop to m antiquated foreign policy? Another hole, this time a bloody one, ma) finally be healing - Northern Ireland's top Protestant unionist leader for the first time since Ireland was partitioned, participated in meeting also attended by the head of Sinn Fein, the political arm o the Roman Catholic Church.

nay not be an oxymoron after all! On the other side of the world, listory was beins made, as China's president Jiang Zemin met with iill Clinton in Washington, D.C. in the first U.S. -China summit meeting ince, oh let's see... 1989? The summit resulted in nothing other than in agreement under which U.S. manufacturers could sell nuclear )ower technology to China. Say, what?! Don't worry, in return, China )romised to not compromise America's oil interests in the Middle :ast. Hey, that's business as usual. Back home, FBI ended the TWA light 800 criminal probe. What they found out? Nothing. But, you nay sleep safely, the crash was not caused by a criminal act of abotage. In another crash, the stock market plummeted 554 points i a record single-day decline ever. The Dow plunged 7.18% from the previous day's close, but rebounded within a few days. Some >eople called the crash a "correction." Others jumped off thirty-story ligh buildings. Others yet, said: "Ah, worldly things, who cares." hey, together with the Hubble, were watching a crash of two lalaxies which resulted in the formation of hundreds of millions of
stars. Wow! Backon earth, a different sort of entity was forming, as MCI accepted WorldCom's takeover offer. Closer to home, in Massachu- setts, Loise Woodward, a 19-year-old British au pair accused of killing an eight-month-old baby for whom she had been caring, was found guilty of second degree murder. In Philadelphia, between 300,000 and 500,000 women gathered for the "Million Woman March." The rally encouraged unity among women of African descent. Yes!! Meanwhile, in Iowa, a woman gave birth to septuplets - she was the second known woman in the world to do so. Yes!! In completely different news, the Justice Department filed a petition accusing Bill Gates' Microsoft Corporation of illegally coercing computer manu- facturers to equip computers with a Microsoft "browser." This will probably go down in history as the beginning of the third great American antitrust case. Go Justice Department! In sports, the Florida Marlins defeated theCleveland Indians to winMajor League Baseball's 93rd World Series. And, on a sad note, Roy Lichtenstein died. Pop art, on the other hand, continued to thrive.

December came, and save way to January, and January save way to th? new year, 1998. At Northeastern, the two months were spent in exams vacation, and the besinnins of Winter Quarter. In the outside world, thins: happened. Firstoff, inthefarawaycountryofSouth Korea, therulinspariythat'. been in powerforoverfivedecadeswasoustedoutof its power, whileanevN power, headed by Kim Dae Juns, took over this financiallytroubled country Despite the problems, the election was a miracle of sorts - Kim was the firs opposition politician to become president in South Korea's history. Anothe chanse of suard took place in the Czech Republic, when Vaclav Havel wa elected president to a second five-year term. Great, huh? Then asain, in the second round of votins he was the only candidate. Politics eastern style! Anc in another chanse, Thabo Mbeki replaced Nelson Mandela as party leader ir the African National Consress, South Africa's ruling party. Ah, the taste o history! In France, a Venezuelan terrorist, llich Ramirez Sanchez, otherwise known as "Carlos," was convicted of murders he committed in 1975. Late justice is still justice.

warm, freezins cold. Butthe same's not over. The game to save the world, on theotherhand, wasjust beginning, as morethan 1 50 nations gathered in Kyoto, Japan, to adopt the first international treaty that would set limits on nations' emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases. Environmen- talists rejoiced. Meanwhile, Cubans rejoiced as PopeJohnPolellmadehisfirst visittoCuba. The Pope,given the capitalist natureof Catholicism, had been an outspoken critic of communism, and the visit came as a surprise to the world and Cubans, who were more in need of food than a lecture, but hey -- he's the Pope. Back in the United States of "A," President Clinton announced that he would propose a balanced budget fa fiscal 1999, three years earlier than first envisioned. The last time the federal government returned a surplus was in 1 969, so it'll be for the 1 999 Cauldron to see if Clinton's plan works out. In between proposing budgets and dealing with other little details, such as welfare and the situation in the Middle East, Clinton was drowning under allegations of cover-up in his alleged affair with a 21 -year-old White House intern. This was way before the blue Gap dress, but heat was already rising. In different news, a federal judge ordered the Navy to cease its efforts to
dischargeanofficerwho had listed himself as homosexual in his privateprofile on the AOL computer service. I don't know about "don't ask, don't tell," but howabout"Navy, dear, don'tbeafucking idiot- letyourofficers be who they are." On a similar note: A woman was executed in Texas, she was the first female of the species to be executed in the U.S. since 1 976, and the second since 1863. Ah, the sound of human progress coming to a complete halt! On the subject of sounds, imagine the one the U.S. space shuttle "Endeavour" made when docking to the Russian space station "Mir." Surprisingly, nothing went wrong with "Mir" this time. Elsewhere in the wonderful world of astronomy, evidence presented by a team of American researchers indicated that the universe was older than previ- ouslythough (15 billion years), and that it was continuously expanding. The researchers also proved that it was neither the chicken, not the egg, but the God of Physics, but that's a whole other story. I n sports, the Denver Broncos beat the Green Bay Packers to win Super Bowl XXXII. Cheese sucks. In tragic news: Jerry Seinfeld announced that his television sitcom would go off the air. But there'll always be reruns, baby!!
februciry/ march
February and March brought wet snow, and a number of floods in the Curry Student Center. Students went to classes, dreaming of Spring Break. The rest of the globe was in a much more chaotic state. In Afghanistan, an earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale killed an estimated 4,500 people and left thousands injured or homeless. In Yugoslavia, some 50 people were killed in clashes between Serbian police and the Albanian separatist Kosovo Liberation Army. The U.S. responded in a way appropriate to a superpower... well, not really, it did the same thing it's been doing in regards to the Yugoslavian conflict since its inception -- it officially condemned the Serbs. Wow, what awesome power! In Taiwan, a jetliner crashed, killing 203 people. In Russia, Presi- dent Boris Yeltsin announced that he would dismiss his entire cabinet, including Premier Chernomyrdin. Observers noted that Yeltsin may have been drunk when he made that decision, but the Russian government replied: "No, that's just something Yeltsin sometime does." On a more positive note: Iraq and the U.N.,

If only America could act this vay when things other than its oil interest are in danger. More on he subject of America's policy of blindness: The State Supreme lourt of California ruled against medical-marijuana clubs' selling )f marijuana for medicinal purposes. Jesse Helms wannabes all >ver the country rejoiced. Moving on with American madness: wo boys, 1 1 and 1 3, opened fire outside of their middle school, :illing four students and one teacher. Ten other people were vounded in the incident. The incident followed a series of recent chool shootings elsewhere in the country. No comment. In the nuntry's capital, Bill Clinton was once again drowning under a torm of allegations. Paula Jones' team of lawyers filed 700 >ages of documents connected to Jones' sexual harassment uit against President Clinton. Clinton, who was meanwhile >attered with the Lewinsky case, told the American people
that he would "never" resign over the Lewinsky affair. The American people said, "Oh, he's such an honest fella!" and raised their approval ratings to an all time high. Go figure. In more legal legal matters, the Supreme Court ruled that same- sex harassment in the workplace was a violations of federal civil right law, extending protection beyond cases that cen- tered on male-female harassment. I guess even the Rehnquist court can do good things when it wants to. In space news, frozen water was detected on the moon. In business news, Compaq announced its intended merger with Digital. In the world of sports, Martina Hingis and Petr Korda won the Austra- lian Open. The Winter Olympics took place in Nagano, Japan, with Germany topping the medals table. No medals, but similarly pleasant trophies were given out at the 70th annual Oscar Awards, with Titanic taking most of the "gold." At the 40th annual Grammy awards, more trophies were handed out, with veteran folk-rock singer Bob Dylan getting three awards.

April and May brought Northeastern seniors closerto graduation, anc the world closerto the newf iscal year. India and Pakistan spentthe montr : of May detonating underground nuclear devices. I guess that's just one ofthose things developing countries do intheirsparetime. India was first conducting a total of five tests. Pakistan followed, conducting a total of., five tests. Looks like it's a tie! In an address announcing the nuclear tests Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharis said that Pakistan had "evened the score with India." The international community viewed the tests as nc joking matter, with U.S. imposing economic sanctions on both, India anc Pakistan. In Northern Ireland, political leaders participating in the North em Ireland Pace Talks in Belfast tentatively agreed to a settlement aimec at ending the long-running sectarian conflict. The settlement was seen a: the most significant step ever in efforts to bring peace to the region which has been torn by sectarian strife for centuries. Irish Prime Ministe Bertie Ahem even shook hands with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Ir Indonesia, President Suharto resigned after increased protest of hi: handling of Indonesia's economic crisis. His resignation ended his 3<

/ears of autocratic rule. Another neishborhood despot resigned earlier n April. Cambodian Khmer Rouge leader, Pol Pot, resigned forever Mien he died of heart failure at a jungle outpost. From 1 975 to 1 979, 3ol Pot was responsible for the deaths of as many as two million Deople during his guerrilla army's rule of Cambodia. In Russia, the ower house of the legislature, the Duma, approved Sergei Kiriyenko as the country's premier. Kiriyenko's appointment came after the 3uma rejected Yeltsin's previous choice twice. That's politics in the tyle of the parliamentary system foryou! Back in the United States, the senate made a different sort of approval, agreeing to grant three brmer Soviet Block adversaries (Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic) membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO). The times sure are changing. In Oregon, a 15-year-old high chool student opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle in his school's :afeteria, killing one studentand wounding 23 others. Onceagain, no :omment. In California, suspected unabomber Theodore Kaczynski was sentenced to four life prison terms. As long as they give him a
single, it ought to be heaven for him. On the subject of heaven: 1997/ 98 has been one for business mergers. Following the trend, Citicorp merged with Travelers Group in April, in what was estimated to be the largest merger ever. In May, Daimler-Benz merged with Chrysler, making this staple of Americana into a German company. Meanwhile, the Justice Department filed two antitrust lawsuits against Microsoft, accusing Bill Gates' company of using its near-monopoly in the PC operating-system market to attempt to dominate other segments of the software market, i.e. web browsing software. Bill Gates re- sponded by counting his billions. In the world of erection, a miracle has occurred, or rather developed by Pfizer Inc. A new prescription drug, Viagra, was proven to be effective in helping 70% to 80% of impotent men obtain erections. Middle-aged women all over the world rejoiced. In April, Pulitzer Prizes were given out for the 82nd time. No Boston paper won, but the Herald started printing in color. No connection, really, but newsworthy nonetheless. In tragic news, Frank Sinatra died at the age of 82. His music will live on.

Well, it's summer once again. This time, however, there's something happening at Northeastern: Graduation. With Mikhail Gorbachev at the podium and the future in steel boxes at the foot of the stage, the Class of 1998 took place in the biggest ceremony of the year. Meanwhile, a different sort of ceremony took place in Nigeria when the military ruler General Sani Abacha bid farewell to this world. Nigeria, which has been plagued by political unrest ever since it won its indepen- dence from Britain in 1960, is now under the control of the newest "military ruler" — army chief Abubakar Named. Pakistan's "ruler" of the nuclear testing program gave a go-ahead to another nuclear test. This, sixth in a series of underground tests, defied international appeals for restraint that followed Pakistan's first round of tests two days earlier. What happened
to keeping matches away from kids? On the other side of the world, a leader agreed to put his matches away for a while. Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic agreed to make con- cessions over the Kosovo conflict after a hefty 80 military aircraft from NATO countries conducted airborne exercises over the border of neighboring nations of Albania and Macedonia. Good news, for a change, which is not what one can say about the other hotspot on this charade of a peaceful world of ours: Suspected military outposts in southern Leba- non were hit by Israeli warplanes. In space, U.S. shuttle "Discovery" flew its last mission when it retrieved astronaut Andrew Thomas from the Russian space station "Mir." The docking with "Discovery" may very well be one of "Mir" 's last missions too — plans now exist to abandon and destroy the

station. Back on Earth, Swiss banks finally agreed to offer a settlement to victims of the Nazi Holocaust who have been unable to recover assets deposited in the banks before and during World War II. Well, as the Germans say, "Besser spaet als nie." Another refund that was supposed to happen across the ocean, in the United States, failed to take place. The Senate, n two procedural votes killed a $516 billion antitobacco bill sponsored by Senator John McCain. Watch your government at work! As if this wasn't enough of a disaster, a high-speed rain crashed in Germany, killing over a hundred passengers, and in Afganistan, an earthquake eft an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people dead. In sports, the Chicago Bulls won their third ronsecutive NBA championship, defeating the Utah Jazz. In hockey, the Detroit Red Wings )eat the Washington Capitals, capturing their second consecutive Stanley Cup. In judgement jay news, Terry L. Nichols was sentenced to life in prison for conspiring in the 1995 bombing >f the Lafred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Back at first base, Northeastern jraduates, received their long-awaited diplomas, moved out of their rooms and apartments, ind moved on with their lives.

"At the end of the nineteenth century, more than half of Boston's population were either immisrants or first-sene'ration Americans. Hard-working and industrious, they sought to im- prove their lives and the lives of their children. Chief among the city's institutions committed to helping these people achieve their dreams was the Boston YMCA.
Founded in 1851 in London, the Young Men's Christian Association chose Boston as the location of its first American branch. In its articles of incorporation, the Boston YMCA announced that it would have "a committee on lectures, whose duty it is to procure teachers and lecturers for any
private classes that may be formed by the members." Thes lectures proved to be immediately popular, drawing larg numbers of young men seeking self-improvement.
Among those attending was the young Dwight L. Mood^ the future evangelist. With great joy, he wrote home to h brothers that he now had a place to go where he could rea "all the books I want free from expense." According to Moodx, the Boston YMCA was a place where "smart men from Bosto lecture." Moody's enthusiasm was infectious, and soon th YMCA became a place where young men gathered to he; lectures on literature, history, music, and any number of oth<
JV*i
jbjects intended to help improve their lives.
Building on this success, the directors of the YMCA took a old step in May 1896, when they organized the "Evening istitute for Young Men." Frank Palmer Speare, a wellknown :acher and principal with considerable experience in the ublic schools, was hired as the institute's director.
Two years later, under Speare's direction, the YMCA adver- sed the creation of the "Department of Law of the Boston MCA." On Monday evening, October 3, 1898, Robert Gray odge convened the first class. The program became an nmediate success. This new phase in the YMCA marked the
*leD
birth of Northeastern University. Later, Speare would remark,
"We started with an eraser and two sticks of chalk." "
So begins William M. Fowler's essay, "A Brief History of Northeastern University." Needless to say, the Class of 1998 will remember this university as something quite different from "an eraser and two sticks of chalk." Northeastern has grown much since the days of Speare, and it has continued to grow, as the Class of 1998 has witnessed over the past five years. As graduates, we can only hope that in the next century of growth, Northeastern won't slow down in its progress, and won't sway from its original mission.
FAREWELL PRESIDENT CURRY!
The 1998 Centennial Cauldron and students of he Class of 1998 would like to thank John A. Curry
for his service to the university and bid him farewell. As the only Northeastern alumnus to ever
serve as head of the university, he will always be remembered as the students' president

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW GUY ON CAMPUS?
A short interview with Richard M. Freeland
Photography by Maria Boyadjieva
This interviewtookplace in May, 1 998. MaxVtiourin conducted the interview.
CAULDRON: Let's start out with the basics. What does a university president do? FREELAND: The primary function, I think, of the university president is to provide overall direction to the university, to articulate the purposes, the mission of the institution, to orsanize the resources and capacities of the institution, and to carry out those purposes. It is nota taskthat presidents do by themselves, it is not the president sitting on the mountaintopand uttering utterances, but it's work- ingwththecommunityoftheinstitutiontoaccom- plish those things.
CAU: What is the power balance between the Board of Trustees and the President? Who has control over what?
FRE: The primary role of the Board of Trustees is to select a president who will provide the kind of direction that is appropriate forthe institution at the time. To provide advice and council and support as needed. The board will tend to rely on the president and the president's team for specific decisions on most substantive issues and will not interpose their own opinion on those issues. CAU: Now, let's turn to you specifically. It's been almost two years since you became president, what has it been like?
FRE: Northeastern is a wonderful institution. I am personally delighted to be part of it. The best part for me being part of NU is, first of all, that I believe in its mission. I believe in providing high quality educational opportunities that do both, enable students to get started on some practical work in life, and provide a liberal arts and sciences educa- tion.
CAU: Do you feel that you've been well received by the university community? FRE: I believe I have been welcomed by the faculty, the staff, and students. This is an institution with deep continuities. Many members of the faculty and staff have been here for long periods of time. Students, obviously, for shorter periods of time. I believe that faculty, staff, students, as well as Board have all welcomed me as much as they possibly could.
CAU:Anyunforeseenproblemsyouhaveencoun- tered over the past two years? FRE:lnthelargesense — no. This isan institution that I knewpretry wel I before. I taught here in the 1 970s, I have written about NU, and I followed it from a fairlyclosedistanceaslworkedatotherinstitutions, so there have been no big surprises. I do believe that NU isalreadya very fine institution and it has an opportunity to be even stronger recognized na- tionally as the leader of practical education around the country.
CAU: Do you also have plans of changing the, university's mission?
FRE: Well, we are definitely in the process of becoming more competitive at the admissions, and each year it gets a little tougherto get into. It is not, however, ourgoal to change the demograph- ics of NU, in social or academic terms. If you look at other colleges and universities that have sought' higher reputations, higher standing nationally, theyj have often done so by movi ng away from worki ng class and low income student bodies to serving more upper-middle class, privileged kids. There is a lot of commitment to serving our traditional1 constituencies at NU.
CAU: What about commitment to faculty? ReJ cently there have been many cases of faculty; members being denied tenure despite full sup-] port from their department. FRE: I think that the standards for tenure have evolved overtime, as they have in most universities. I So, 20yearsago, 30yearsago, one probably coulo have gotten tenure at NU with less strength anc I research and scholarship than is true today. CAU: Then, emphasis is placed on tangible work j produced and not teaching skill? That's a strange j trade-off as far as students are concerned. FRE: Well, it'ssomethingtoponder,and I would asl< you to ponder it, butifyou're building an institution, : you want students to be exposed toabsolutely the I bestqualifiedteachers.Thebestqualifiedteachers! are, not always, but most often, people who are actively engaged as scholars in their fields. CAU: Then, with professors engaged as scholars, many introductory classes, especially in scientific fields, are pushed over to TAs and graduate stu- 1 dents. How can that be good for a school?
FRE: What I wouldsay is that on the whole, students benefitfrom being ataplacewherethereareactive scholars, but there is no question that it can go too far in that direction, and at many universities it has gone too far in that direction. I don't believe in having the most important lowerdivisions of fresh- man courses taught by TAs and graduate students, I need to look in to what you just told me. CAU: Is therealready something intheworks,away to make sure that Northeastern remains a teaching school?
FRE: It is something that we began to talkabout. The report of the University Planning Council was an attempt to determine the appropriate number of faculty for each college, given the enrollments of each col lege. And that intended number of faculty is intended to provide full time faculty, so that reliance on part time faculty and TAs can be held to an appropriate level . So we have been trying to address it that way. But italso involves questionsof assignment - do you put your senior faculty in freshman or basic courses, or do you have them teach only advanced or upper division courses? Quite honestly, in most universities, the tendency is to put the graduate assistants in the freshman and sophomore courses, and it makes sense from a certain point of view, if you thinkabout it, because the scholars are highly specialized, they teach the specialized advanced courses — the/re pretty far away from this introductory stuff anyway. Chances are the TAs know it better, but at the same time they're not as skilled teachers, so I think one mea- sure of the teaching seriousness of an institution is the extent to which full time senior faculty teach freshman and sophomore courses. CAU: Since we are talking about al ions —
some recent tenure decisions for the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences have been seen by many as attempts to cut down the college's pro- grams.
FRE: No, there's no connection really between a specific tenure decision and the resource alloca- tion to a specific college. If a negative tenure decision is made in a particular case where the col lege orthe department needs a faculty member then the position remains in the col lege, and a new person can be hired, so these are completely separate universes. You're talking about the single most difficult and important decision university administrators make.
CAU: Now, who actually makes the final decision? FRE: The Board of Trustees has to vote. You can't award tenure without the trustees' vote. On the other hand, the trustees wi 1 1 typica I ly be gu ided by the recommendation that they get from the presi- dent and provost. The president and provost will typically be guided by the recommendations they get from the dean and the department. CAU: The faculty members I mentioned before had full support of their departments, so where was this link you've described broken? FRE: There are instances, and I'm not speaking about any particu lar cases but as a general propo- sition, thereare instances where reasonable people can d iffer. When you grant tenure to someone you are maki ng a huge gamble, wel I comm itment and gamble, because for the next thirty years this person is going to be highly productive and com- mitted, so you've got five years worth of evidence to make a thirty year guess. You only have so many positions to spend, these positions are million dollar commitments, you wantto be darn surethat
you're making the decision in the most responsible way, and that tends to drive administrators to- wards conservative decisions. CAU : Al I right. Next, the Dialog on Race — it turned out different than expected, didn't it? FRE: It was supposed to be what it was. CAU: Sure, but instead of a dialog it became a confrontation. Some harsh opinions were voiced. Did you feel that those opinions were valid? FRE: I felt that the students who spoke seemed honest to me, I didn't have a feeling they were faking what they were saying. On the other hand, there are twelve thousand students at NU, so how representative they were of broad opinion, even within the group for which they were speaking, was a question. I wouldn't say that they were not, I wouldjust say that itwasn't demonstrated by,and when I read polling data and systematic research data, my sense is that the situation is considerably more positive than one would have felt listening to the students who spoke. On the other hand, I took those to be authentic voices, and I 'm continuing to meet with the students to try to address the concerns they raise.
CAU: And lastly, graduate programs at NU. Are there plans to expand or reduce them? FRE: The plan is to enhance quality at the graduate level. At this point, some of the programs need to be expanded because they have not yet reached critical mass in terms of size, some of the programs could be smaller in orderto increase quality. There isnooverallplantoincreasethesizeofthegraduate program. Our watchword at the graduate level would be: "Selective excellence," at least for the foreseeable future.

100 YEARS OF PRESIDENCY
Northeastern's leaders: then and now
Excerpted from the NU web site. Photography from Cauldron archives
Frank Palmer Speare
Was president from1898 to 1940
Son of a steamship builderand operator, Frank Palmer Speare headed the evening prosram at the Boston YMCA that later became Northeastern. As founding president, he oversaw the launching of several of the university's early schools: the evening law school, the now-defunct automobile school, the evening polytechnic schools, the school of commerce and finance, and the co-operative engineering school.
Carl Stephens Ell
Was president from 1 940 to 1 959
Known as "Mr. Northeastern," Carl S. Ell steered the university through a period of unprecedented physical growth as well as the development of colleges, the growth of co- op, increases in student population, the expansion of evening education, and advances in educational status. The Ell years included a construction boom on campus that resulted in six new buildings: Science Hall (now Mugar), the Student Center Building and Alumni Audito- rium, the library (now Dodge Hall), the physical education center, Hayden Hall, and a graduate center (now Churchill).
Asa S. Knowles
Was president from 1959 to 1975
Asa S. Knowles began at Northeastern as a teacher and administrator in the 1 930s, left for 1 7 years for other administrative work, and then returned to campus. He decentralized the university's administration, achieved national prominence for the co-op plan and adult education, expanded the university's commitment to community service, expanded the physical plant, and changed Northeastern's image from "technical school" to one of the country's foremost professional universities.

vfc-^i
Kenneth G. Ryder
Was president from 1975 to 1989
Credited with enhancing the liberal arts, Kenneth G. Ryder began as a history teacher in 1949 and moved into the administrative ranks in 1955. Under his leadership, the student population grew to 50,000, the operating budget nearly doubled, sponsored research tripled, and the endowment quadrupled. Also during his tenure, a $43 million fund-raising drive was completed, nine buildings were constructed, and work began on the $34 million Snell Library.
John A. Curry
Was president from 1989 to 1996
John A. Curry boosted academic quality while transforming the university into a smaller, more student-centered institution. Despite financial constraints, Curry improved Northeastern 's infrastructure with the construction of three new buildings and the renovation of four others. He oversaw the creation of the campus-wide computer network and the dramatic alteration of the physical landscape of campus. He also led two major fund drives and hosted President Bill Clinton at graduation in 1993. A champion of tolerance and diversity, Curry also strengthened and deepened the university's commitment to the city, promising scholarship to 100 local sixth-graders who excel in school.
Richard Middleton Freeland
Has been president since 1996
Dr. Freeland has spent his academic career in urban higher education. As assistant to the president of the University of Massachusetts in 1970, he focused on the development of a new campus in Boston. In 1982, Freeland became dean of UMass-Boston's College of Arts and Sciences, a position he held for 1 0 years. In 1 992, Freeland moved to New york City to become vice chancellor for academic affairs at the City University of New york (CUNY). Born and raised in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, Freeland received a bachelor's degree in American studies from Amherst College in 1963 and a doctorate in American civilization from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.
ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
From Matthews to Marino: The new Northeastern
by Max Vtiourin. Photography by Maria Boyadjieva
Henry Wadsworth Lonsfellow once wrote this about architecture: Ah, to build, to build!/ That is the noblest art of all the arts. /Painting and sculpture are but images/Are merely shadows cast by outward things/On stone or canvas, having in themselves/No separate existence. Architecture/Existing in itself, and not in seem- ing/A something it is not, surpasses them/As substance shadow.
Well, until very recently, Northeastern was just that -- substance. The university, consisting of a few buildinss, housed the bare essentials of college: austere classrooms, small faculty and administrative offices, some student hous- ing, a library, and a gym. The substance was there, but the trappings of a beautiful university
were still lacking.
Not that there was little history behind the architecture of the school. Northeastern had gone a long way from a few rooms i n the YMCA to being one of Boston's largest institutions of higher education. Each new structure built on the Northeastern campus signified a new step for the university which was simply too young do undertake the sort of expansion the Class of 1 998 has witnessed over the past five years. The architecture of our school therefore remained purely functiona I . With the exception of what is now known as Matthews Arena, which is the oldest arena in the entire nation, Northeastern remained asphalt and stone, with no cohesive campus so speak of.
In the 1980s, the university finally had th> enrollmentthatrequiredandallowedtheschoc to expand its facilities. By 1 991 , a new multimil I lion dollar library was built, and the Northeast j ern began to acquire the sort of campus the merits its name. Today, our university is shininl with reflective glass, stone, and steel. It is withj outa doubtthe most beautiful, modern col leg'] in Boston.
Some have commented that too much alj tention is now being paid to the image c[ Northeastern, and not enough work is bein done to improve its substance. Now, it remain to be seen whether the recent external remoc elling will be followed by much needed intei nal repairs. We hope it will. cpyefeit
MARINO RECREATION CENTER
The Roser M. and Michelle S. Marino Recreation Center was opened during November of 1 996. This 81 ,000 square- foot building, located on the corner of Huntington Avenue and Forsyth Street, cost over $12 million, $5.5 million of which were donated to the university by the Marino family.
The Marino Recreation Center houses several fast food restaurants, a supermarket, a gymnasium, a multifunctional basketball court, and a suspended jogging track. Recently, the New England Baptist Hospital opened outpatient physi- cal therapy services at the Marino Recreational Center.
All Northeastern students have free access to the Marino Center which features the sort of exercise equipment that only some of Boston's more fashionable exercise programs currently provide. For a nominal fee, alumni can also make use of the facilities. The Marino Centeralso provides 50 daily passes for use by residents of the Fenway area. To what extent this gesture can appease residents, who have been growing increasingly discontent with the student popula- tion of Boston, remains to be seen.
The Center has had dramatic effects on Northeastern. For one, it has bestowed Huntington Avenue with a plush, post- modern facade of glass and steel. No visitor, no matter the extent of his dedication to substance, can refuse being taken away by the splendid structure. Many a parent have probably made their final decision about Northeastern after taking a brief tour of the Marino Center.
All in all, this newaddition to Northeastern is comfortably flourishing under its bluish panes of glass. From the health freaks who frequent the Center in the early hours of the morning, to the herds of socialites who come to there in the evening to exercise their eyes, the Marino Recreation Center exists as a healthy new limb of what is finally becoming a University.

CLASSROOM BUILDING
The most truly functional new building to have arisen over the last five years is the Classroom Build- ing. Despite rumors, there was no alum by the name of Classroom, nor has a benefactor by that name sur- faced since the structure was completed.
With a cost of over $8 million, and soft, though impressive round facade, the Classroom Building serves as a transition between the architectural styles of the past and the future. The building, which first opened its doors during the Fall of 1995, houses fourteen state-of-the-art classrooms, a media pro- duction facility with video-editing rooms, and a fully functional television studio.
The building contains several interconnected class- rooms that can be easily converted to large lecture halls. In addition toautomatic blackboards, large win- dows, and curved arena-style seating, all classrooms contain audiovisual equipment.
The Classroom Building is, in fact, so nice, that both, students and faculty now fight over who gets to teach and learn there. Many classes in the College of Arts and Sciences ate still held in the quirky rooms of Kariotis Hall or the modern but boring rooms of Ryder Hall, but an increasing number of classes are taught in the new Classrooms Building, and students and fac- ulty could not be happier about that.
EGAN RESEARCH CENTER
The strangest looking building of the recent con- struction boom is the new Egan Research Center, a four story, 5,000 square-foot structure next to the Orange Line Ruggles Station. The Center, with a cost somewhere near $30 million, is one of Northeastern's most expensive projects. At the opening ceremony, which took place in October of 1996, the lists of guests, which included Richard and Maureen Egan, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and Raytheon CEO Den- nis Picard, reflected the high value of this building.
The mission of the Egan Research Center is to serve as a science center for the colleges of Arts and Sci- ences, Engineering, and Computer Science.

1997-1998: NORTHEASTERN IN THE NEWS
All news of the university that was worth to print
Durins the summer of 1997, a num- ber of small construction projects were begun, most of which were completed by the beginning of Fall Quarter. The first floor of Meserve Hall was transformed into the Center for Integrated Academic and Experiential Education Center. The Center now houses the Arts and Sci- ences dean's office, as well as a number of offices relating to students' academic and experiential life, such as the Study Abroad office. To make this possible, several departments had to be relocated to other areas of Meserve Hall.
By the time the Class of 2003 arrived on campus, the path from Curry Student Center to the new Centennial Common was lined with new benches, and the Common itself was looking better than ever, with new curbing and red bricks engraved with the names of university donors.
Another major change to Northeastern's exterior occurred behind the Curry Student Center, accross from the Columbus Avenue parking lot. A
42,000 square-foot sculpture garden was built there to provide students with "a place for contemplation and repose" and to provide the Columbus Avenue side of the university with a beautiful facade .
Huntinston Avenue turns Avenue of the Arts.
The park consists of a brick walkway similar to the one leading from the Curry Student Center to Centennial Common.
A number of sculptures, including the infamous "Orb" now adorn the new path.
September brought several changes to the university. Provost Michael Baer announced his intention to resign his position in the spring in order to go back to the department of political science to resumeteaching there.

Northeastern's final remodelling touches.
THROUGH THE CLOSING GATES
On classes, teaching and administration at Northeastern
Here at Northeastern University, the same political battles rase as at all other universities in the country, as corporate and commercial models take the place of less saleable ideas such as education, critical thousht, and academic freedom. Meanwhile, classes suffer, teachers lose morale, and students become more and more confused as to why their college years are not what they had expected or hoped for.
The temptation is to say that the dev- astation of Northeastern has been among the worst in the country, but I suspect it's only average. The end result, the "bot- tom line," to use the language of the education bosses, is that the students, whom the university is supposed to ben- efit, are betrayed. They are taught that the value of their education lies in a grade point average and a diploma, not in the preparation for a lifetime of thoughtful pursuits. Reading-lists and course workloads shrink, in order to pro- vide the students with what they think
by Zack Brown
they have purchased; professors gear the level of their teaching to the lowest common denominator. Students, bored with the triviality of it all, and discour- aged in their attempts to engage unwill- ing professors on more abstract levels, drift passively through theircollegeyears. In the end, a mountain of debt, a molehill of achievement, and the rest of their lives a bitter mockery of the hopes they once had.
For those students who care about their education it is difficult to see be- yond the most visible parts of their ex- perience: the classes themselves. As a result, the problem often seems to them to be merely one of bad teaching. They find their curiosity blocked at every turn by the indifference of the teacher. All their efforts to engage the material are met with vague rebukes. The teacher seems to prefer a listless, uninspired (or an artificially overexcited) approach that is apparently more concerned with the inability of the students than the value of
the subject. Inevitably, the truly inter- ested students gravitate toward a few professors who seem better than the rest, and through that limited field they make their way.
Few students come into direct con- tact with the forces that have led up to and perpetuate Northeastern's demoral- ized atmosphere. Those who do are so horrified that they cannot look at the university in the same way afterwards.
The administration of Northeastern,, having been in the hands of the money- makers for quite a while now, has long since sold the students out. Profit and growth are the keys to the kingdom, and the students are merely statistical vari ables - to be enticed to the school at| whatever the cost, then maintained for five years at minimal expense.

university whose central and sole pur- pose is the education of students. All other elements of a true university would be secondary and subsidiary to the ac- tual classes held. A university without classes would be a funny sight. And yet it is from those very classes that funds are siphoned to the point of exhaustion and put almost entirely into PR for the school. Here at Northeastern, they care about impressing you until they get you here. Then they forget all about you. That's what makes economic sense. Under the circumstances, it's understandable why so many students choose to transfer.
One of the most immediately visible 'to students) effects of this has been the actual cancellations of dozens of classes sach quarter. Anyone asking questions about this is told that it is for "economic 'easons". Precisely! What business does a school have giving millions upon mil- ions of dollars to its sporting teams and Deautification projects when it can't even sustain its own curriculum? It's obvious Torn the expenditures in these other ar- ^as that there is no shortage of funds. The
result but bad teaching? Even the best teachers are human, and feel it as strongly as anyone else when their labors are overturned in such apparently arbitrary ways.
When a class is canceled as a result of the ten person minimum, it is often at the very start of the quarter, with no notice whatsoever. For a teacher, having spent weeks or longer in preparations, select- ing readings, going over the subject with as much rigor as possible, and predeter- mining the content of each lecture through the entire quarter, to find that this work has all been in vain, is a night- mare.
Once the rug has been pulled out from under them in this way, a teacher is often reassigned to a completely differ- ent class, for which he has literally no time to prepare. Is it any wonder then that students often complain to each other that their teachers seem unpre- pared. In all likelihood, they are, though through no fault of their own.
Classes that have not been canceled are also affected, for a climate of cancel -

money is simply going to the wrong places and being controlled by the vrong offices.
Classes at Northeastern are canceled Automatically if they have less than ten mrollees. Whatever economic sense such in move on the university's part may make, t leaves professor demoralized and in- erested students without a chance to ulfill their yearning to learn. In an atmo- phere committed to the bottom line nd hostile to teaching, what can be the
lations must influence teachers' attitudes toward their preparations for any class, as well as their sense of participation in an intellectual environment. Often teach- ers will avoid offering classes that may be canceled, in order not to risk losing all their preparations.
The ten person minimum is absolutely devastating to upper-level classes, a vast number of which never get high enroll- ment at any university, but are still a very important part of college education.
By eliminating or strongly reducing such classes, the university's entire standard of educational inquiry goes drastically down. What few upper-level classes do remain end up being swamped by stu- dents who want or need such classes, but whose first choices didn't make the cut. This overabundance of students in what might normally be a small discus- sion seminar forces the professor toward adopting a standard lecture format. Thus, the few remaining high level classes are brought down in their scope and goals.
Ironically, though, theten person mini- mum does help the school's Public Rela- tions effort: they are able to advertise classes they know (with a high probabil- ity) will not run. Some classes that are actually in the core curriculum, like Lin- ear Programming, have not run even once. But those course names appear in the offering booklets each quarter, titles on a catalog that must influence anyone considering attending Northeastern. When they come here, how can they help but feel lied to? It's like going to a library, taking a book off the shelf, and finding that it is only a spine and cover, without any pages inside.
If some cancellations must take place, there must be a more educationally friendly way than a straight, across- the-board minimal enrollment. Nor should the final de- cision come from the dean's office, as it has.
e^e0-
Departments should be free to organize their curriculum in the interests of their students. Perhaps a compromise might be to maintain an average of ten students in each class. This would have a much less devastating effect on upper-level classes. The ten person minimum is only one example of the kind of corner-cut- ting forced upon departments. But bud- getary problems are not the extent of it. Unfortunately there is also a move- ment to cut PhD programs and even whole departments, as well as eliminate tenure and push as much of the workload as possible onto the very low paid part- timers. The tactics used by the adminis-
guarantee of anonymity), part-time fac- ulty members are not politically vocal because their jobs hang by a thread of silence. No part-timer would dream of offending their bosses in the university because they would not be rehired after the end of that quarter. Full-time, non- tenured faculty have only slightly more security, and are also reluctant to be too vocal. There are many ways administra- tion can maneuver behind the scenes to make it warm for unfriendly teachers. Only tenure gives professors the free- dom to participate in the political de- bate surrounding the university. Without it they are reduced to being merely the

tration (championed by the dean and provost) are so ruthless (not to mention testing of the bounds of legality), that the best of cases result in lawsuits brought by faculty or staff against the school; while the worst cases leave whole departments depopulated (as in the case of the Economics department)and help- less to defend themselves against new threats, as I'll describe in a moment.
Tenure allows and encourages a cre- ative approach to teaching, a risk-taking approach, in which the teacher can ex- plore ideas with students, without hav- ing to guarantee the correctness of those ideas and without having to stand trial before the university for the views ex- pressed in those ideas. Without tenure, in addition to being restricted to stale academic conformity, teachers in such a situation, with nothing to protect them against the caprices of management, would also be very precarious politi- cally. As any part-timer can affirm (under
political mouthpieces of the administra- tors on whom theirjobs depend. Inside the classroom and out of it, they would always have to beware of what they said, balancing their statements to please all interested parties, so as not to jeopar- dize their positions. It's unthinkable that teachers in such a precarious position would be able to encourage free thought and inquiry in their students.
On the administration's side, it is ar- gued that tenure is just a way that bad teachers avoid retribution for their poor abilities. I would counter that this posi- tion is insincereon the part of the admin- istration, since it is quite clear from their actions that they have no interest in pro- moting good teaching here. On the con- trary, tenure is the only thing protecting good teachers from retribution for their politically independent ideas.
Wherever one stands on the issue of tenure, there can be no doubt that the way in which it is being attacked at North-
eastern goes well beyond any legitimate policy. Teachers hired into tenure-track positions (that is, positions that will come under review for tenure after a certain number of years) fulfill their obligations, publish, teach well, are well reviewed by their students, and are being sup- ported for tenure by their departments. Having gotten so far through the pro- cess, the granting of tenure should be a mere formality, as it is in the better schools throughout the country. But re- gardless of the accomplishments of the teachers and the recommendations of their departments, the provost, on his own authority, has brought to a dead stop many of these tenure processes, particularly those involving women.
The brutal manner in which tenure is being attacked has wide ranging effects. The situation of the Economics depart- ment is a case in point. A few years ago, when, in addition to other problems in that department, it became apparent that numbers of teachers who should have gotten tenure in that department were being denied by the provost in defiance of the entire tenure process, many of those teachers - and others, who saw their turn approaching - left Northeast- ern and took other jobs. The Economics department was virtually emptied of teachers in a few years. And Economics was and is by no means the only depart- ment under attack. This policy extends throughout the school. But no matter where such attacks are found, the effects are far-reaching, with all tenure-track fac- ulty affected.
At the same time, to accommodate their attack against tenured faculty and full-time teaching in general, the admin- istration is shifting classes over to part- timers. As a result, many part-timers do

The situation of these part-timers can oe pointed to as the future of the school without tenure.

Here we have a group of people clearly abused, and [helpless to speak out. This is the situa- :ion the administration desires for the entire school, tojudge by the direction it is heading.
Recently, in another attempt to cut pi own departments, the PhD programs of several departments were simply done jaway with. It was only by the tireless ikxertions of certain professors that some

of those programs were salvaged. The [departments targeted were History, En- glish, Political Science, and Economics. Economics, dueto its recent dismantling ^there can be no other word), was not in 3 position to fight for its program, and :ailed to resuscitate itself. The otherthree departments did fight, however. By ral- ying support from universities around j:he country, each department compiled :p document of some thousand pages xplaining their work and why it was
important to the field. In the face of this opposition, the administration backed down - this time. But during the long months of gathering testimonials and composing reports, the professors in those departments undoubtedly felt a tremendous dram on their morale, as well as the important work of teaching and scholarship.
For departments and programs to have to defend their existence to their admin- istrations, or rather to plea for existence after having already been cut, is not only an almost unbearable strain on the de- partments and programs in question, but is a clear indication of the hostility of the administration to the essential work and purpose of a university.
Economics, as I said, did lose their PhD program. That department current state is almost a model of the administration's goals. The attack on ten- ure, and other such difficulties depopu- lated the department, so there was no one to defend it when its PhD program was cut. At the time of this writing, the latest wounds were still fresh, and sev- eral professors bitterly remarked that since the department was already gut- ted, losing its PhD program made no difference whatsoever. In response to a query, those same teachers affirmed that before the dismantling, their PhD pro- gram had been quite good.
There has been much fanfare and ban- ner-waving this year, in celebration of Northeastern's centennial anniversary, but it seems that a celebration should be in honor of something worthy of pride. Northeastern may be proud of itself, but there is very little reason for students to be proud of it.

In recent years, it seems the apathy that has always epitomized Northeast- ern has spread to some of the students who have been chosen by the North- eastern community as the voice of the students: The Student Government As- sociation. This is unfortunate, and such an accusation would likely brins vehe- ment denials from certain SGA higher- ups, but the evidence tells the story.
There's a mysterious phenomenon lurking around Northeastern. Nobody knows much about it, because only a select few are allowed to experience it firsthand. This phenomenon is called the Budget Review Committee. They meet behind closed doors in the Curry Stu- dent Center and determine how much money each student group is entitled to. Attempts to open these meetings to the general student population have been met with stiff refusals. The reason? Stu- dent involvement in decisions regarding
the distribution of activity fees would impede the process.
That's kind of like an incumbent president saying: "Citizens will not be allowed to vote, as votes for my oppo- nent might impede my chances of get- ting reelected," or a patient telling a doctor"No, don't operate. Surgerymight

impede my chances of dying." You get the picture.
It's always been a mystery to me what qualifies the Budget Review Com- mittee to make such important decisions. Blood tests? How many bratwurst they can eat in an hour7 How about IQ tests... well, they probably don't have to take
those. But the closed-meeting policy of the BRC is, without a doubt, one of the most idiotic policies ever devised by the Student Government Association.
Again, the rules in a nutshell: Give us your activity fee, and we'll give it to a group of people who have so selflessly volunteered to determine how much your student group is worth. Even though it's your money, you're not allowed to influ- ence the proceedings beyond submit- ting your request, nor are you allowed to even witness the proceedings.
That's not even the best part. The BRC sets aside some of the money from the student activity fee for a "reserve fund." This money is then kept in reserve for emergencies, like if the SGA runs out of staples or the Chess Club needs extra bandages for their blisters.
One question that has yet to be answered is what happens to the money if it isn't used. Apparently, the people

11 Northestern student organizations denied requests for additional funds
a coni- Su-phan>
Despite 1 1 other groups patting in spcci.il requests to trie Budget Review Committee, only the Student Activities Business Office received additional funding lor the fall quarter.
The Business Office, which main- tains the finances of all Northeastern student organizations, was allotted S60.IXKJ this October for the purchase, installation and operation of new accounting software.
Last year, the Student Government Association reached an agreement that money from special request accounts is available for "recognized student grouplsl"
The special request account is made up of money from the activities fee that all undergraduate students pay each quarter they are ill classes.
"Personally. I don't think we should have to pay for this," said Karen Larkin. SGA vice president for finan- cial affairs and chair of the BRC,
Gail Olyha. director of the Curry Student Center, said that the request was justified She believes that a prece- dent was set when the current system
was purchased with Student Activities money, and that this is the w aj business office software should continue It) be purchased.
"The existing system was purchased [through funds from] the BRC." said Olyha. "It is to support the student groups and the activity fee. So it has been interpreted as the cost of doing business if you are going to have that operation and provide the service to the student groups."
The Budget Review Committee decides the budgets of all non-media student groups, except the Resident Student Association, which gets us money from the resident student fee.
Each undergraduate student must pay a S14 activities fee each quarter they arc in classes. That money is put into a pool that funds all student groups this year. $243,175 was collected through this tec After taking out money hud gcled to the student gioup.s and other administrative costs, $65,675 was left over for the Emergency/Special Events Account.

After this gross mishandling of student money, it wouldn't be the least bit surprising if, a few days after January 1, 2000, stu- dents were told, "Oh, the V2K updates didn't work. All your money is gone. So, could you make a donation so we can make sure this doesn't happen again in 2100? And, by the way, the Busi- ness Off ice also needs new wall- paper.

RACE@NU: A DIALOGUE ON RACE
Students came prepared to the "Open Dialogue on Race" with their posters and
theirgrievances. The Black Student Lead- ership Council, a recently formed stu- dent group, led a number of Black stu- dents to the meeting, holding up posters that read: "Brown vs. Board of Education or Black vs. NU," "If you're Black, get back, if you're Brown, stick around, If you're White, you're all right," and "Black=Suspicion, Suspicion=Guilt."
The Council was formed in early May to address what they are calling a racist decision made by the Judicial Affairs office against a Black female student, Rosa Spiller. The Council claims she was unfairly penalized because of her race. "When I came to Boston, Northeastern told me this is a school of diversity. I don't feel that way any longer," said Spiller, during the Dialogue.
Kanasha Herbert, a middler at North- eastern University, called the office of
by Linda Betharte
Judicial Affairs, "the office of perceptive affairs." According to Herbert, she was kicked out of her residence hall because her roommate suspected she was prac- ticing voodoo, a religion commonly as- sociated with witchcraft. Herbert reiter- ates what one of the administrators in- volved in the case told her, "You are from the Caribbean. What do you expect people to think of you?"
President Richard Freeland said he was very distressed to hear of the unfair treat- ment in the Judicial Affairs office and of the other incidents of racism reported by students that attended the meeting.
Other students talked about being slighted by the co-op department, pro- fessors who underestimated their abili- ties because of the color of their skin, disrespectful treatment by Northeastern police officers, and the lack of financial support for the John D. O'Bryant African- American Institute, a center that was cre-
ated in the late 1960's to address issues that Black students faced on Northeastern's campus.
When asked why the African-American Institute has not been equipped with en elevator to allow access to the disabled, President Freeland said he was unaware of the funds promised by the university to the Institute.
Nicole Black, president of the North- eastern Black Student Association, said, "I refuse to love a school that does not love all races." Phil Kasieki, a junior, followed with this to say about diversity, "this is a diverse campus that is not unified, and students feel complacent about it. Stu- dents have to be more involved. We need more white students to look at this issue."
Although there were several white fac- ulty and staff members present at the meeting, few of them spoke. "There are programs, but not enough," stated Kate, Pendergast of Human Resources, one of
J\oEfty
he fewwho spoke, in reply to a student's question about trainins prosrams for fac- jlty and police officers. The majority of :he students who did attend the meetins were students of color, and some of the white students and faculty members felt :hat they were being attacked. "This has oecome a bitch-fest. How do expect :hingstogetdone if you don't let people get a say?" questioned Lisa Zschuschen.
Dr. Jack Levine, a professor of Sociol- Dgy, said, "White people don't see be- ng white as a problem. Race is not an ssue for them. That is why we don't see 3 lot of white people at these meetings. we must see empathy for people of other groups in order to solve problems. "Presi- dent Freeland ended the discussion with this, "We proclaim the issue of diversity oecause we know that we are not yet there and that we want to go there."
The Dialogue, which lasted for three and a half hours, was suggested to presi- dent Freeland by the American Council 'on Education, at the behest of the Presi- dent of the United States, Mr. Bill Clinton, iltwas moderated by Mr. David Hall, Dean of the Northeastern University School of law. Members of the Latin-American Stu- dent Organization opened the meeting With five separate skits on stereotypes, Entitled the "Unlearn Workshop."
The president has since met with mem- bers of the Dialogue's organizing com- mittee and members of the Black Stu- dent Association, to discuss the issues raised at the meeting. The BSLC deliv- ered its suggestions for the revamping of the Judicial Affairs process to president Freeland, along with cases of precedence in the Rosa Spiller matter in which, the BSLC felt, students received lesser pen- alties for similar violations.

RACE@NU: A WHITE PERSPECTIVE
by Whiteboy
Not being noticeably a member of any racial minority (most people don't see that I'm Jewish), I have only a limited awareness of racism as practiced at Northeastern, but I remember countless times when certain white teachers were locked out of their office buildings on various holidays, having forgotten the
about taking those opportunities? And if I agree to resent people of color for the opportunities given them by affirmative action, what should I expect them to feel about the opportunities that come so easily to me, that they would have to work ten times harder for7
I have been scolded many times by
"If I choose to take some responsibility for certain injustices
that heap benefits upon me, is this "white guilt"? If certain
opportunities wait for me to take them, while attempting to
exclude people of other races, should I feel no
compunction about taking those opportunities?
key. They were forced to go to the cam- pus police and get them to open the door. And I remember one time when a black teacher tried to do the same thing, and was treated with suspicion and de- nied entry to the building.
I remember having a conversation with a white student, in which he denied any racist tendencies, yet affirmed that he felt uncomfortable when a black man walked behind him. To him, this was not racism, it was practicality. And though we argued back and forth for over an hour, I was never able to convince him that his feelings were racist.
In fact, during my time at Northeastern I've found myself confronting many people regarding issues of race, includ- ing myself. I've found it very difficult to navigate the strange demands that other people try to put on my feelings. If I choose to take some responsibility for certain injustices that heap benefits upon me, is this "white guilt"? If certain oppor- tunities wait for me to take them, while attempting to exclude people of other races, should I feel no compunction
white students at Northeastern, for con- sidering racial perspectives other than my own. I've been told it was presump- tuous, and that I should worry about myself before other people. But whether I personally am presumptuous or not, how can I agree that the solution is to stick with "my own kind", and rely on everyone's natural selfishness to balance everything out? I don't want to be asso- ciated with those attitudes, and with the actions of groups like the NU campus police. And unless I am vocal about these feelings and ideas, that assumption will be made.

>*vf$braefff11, 1998 -"Editorial: Housing lottery not solution
Fair? Yes. Good? No.
That is really what the new lottery system to assign upperclass housing comes down to. It is a plan that makes the best out of a bad situation . However, it is really not addressing the right problem.
Over2,000 upperclass Northeastern students will have a random and thus fair shot at the 1,300 avai lable spaces. This is a vast improvement over the cattle call that last year's open house in the ballroom degenerated into. But why are there so many fewer spaces than students who want them?
Just four years ago the university was closing down residence halls because there were not enough students to fill them. Then came the initiative to bring students on campus and erase the label of "commuter school. "Well, it worked. It worked too well. Suddenly faced with record numbers of students wanting to live on campus, the university looked at the number of available spaces, its promise to house all freshmen and threw its hands into the air.
The last thing university officials wanted to do was discourage students from living on campus after all the fuss. At the same time, the large number of students forced off-campus hit area landlords who quickly realized the opportunity to raise rent, now available due to the law of supply and demand. Off-campus living, which at one point was cheaper but not as convenient as living on campus, became expensive. Moving back on campus though, had become next to impossible.
NU is now scrambling to build new housing for students. The West Campus residence hall is supposed to be open next fa 1 1, but the 600 beds that building will add are too little, too late. There should have been someone at the university looking at all of the ramifications of the on- campus push four years ago when they imple- mented it. The university says it did not expect the numbers of students who responded to the initiative. But it shouldn't have been that difficult to realize what would happen, and the neces- sary steps should have been taken then, not now.
Working with the community and the city to build housing at Davenport Commons will also add space, but it will come as Northeastern is
Northeastern News
trying to get rid of the number of leased rooms it is currently paying for. Residential Life wants to continue increasing the number of beds avail- able. Is that really possible considering the mea- sures the university had to take over the last few years to put the overflow in off-campus leased housing?
The new lottery is indeed a fairway to fit 2,000 students into 1,300 spaces. But explain why the additional housing is not yet available to the student who will be living in an Allston studio because he "just didn't get lucky."

Column: SGA needs direct elections
by Chris Doscher
Disclaimer: This column is in no way a negative criticism of the Student Government Associa- tion. Please refrain from sending nasty letters and threats on my life, critici, m as an observation made over my four years as a student here.
Actually, it's a criticism of a large number of other students at Northeastern. Well, maybe not as much a criticism as an observation made over my four years as a student here.
It doesn't take a master detective to figure out that NU students aren't the most active bunch when it comes to student activities. It's good to see there's final ly some sort of effort being made to address the problem. There are a few possi- bilities floating around right now, including my favorite, direct elections.
I remember when the SGA tried this a few years back, only a handful of students voted. That's unfortunate, and it's the reason several SGA members are opposed to trying the idea again.
The low turnout shouldn't even be a consid- eration. In fact, it should be expected. Not because of student apathy, though. The last time around, ballots were mailed to students. Well, we all know what happens to mail from the university. It ends up under a pile of bills, or under the bed, or someplace else until the day after the election, when it will be discovered again and thrown into the trash.
Also, the representation system in the SGA is flawed. It would be more appropriate for candi- dates to outline their positions for the student body as a whole and be elected by all the students, not selected by a particular student
group. This would force candidates to go to the I students and make their views known, because) their seats wouldn't be as secure. Direct elec-j: tions could be a lot of fun to watch, especially it they were to open the presidential election to al t students. Can you imagine a classic political duel, a clash of the titans between Laura Water: [ and Stacey Archfield, with former president Chris Schoenenberger showing up as a viable! "alternative" candidate? SGA members are alt ways so cordial towards each other, it would bet interesting to see if they were as restrained when": their jobs were on the line. Maybe they coulcj even serve beer at the debates! Okay, maybe not
One complaint I've heard about direct elect tions at other universities is that there ends ua being too many Greeks involved in the process) Well, whatever your opinion of the Greeks, wet could all learn something from their organizaj tional skills. Maybe this would motivate student: enough to get out and make their interests knowr
Students often complain about having nc voice. Well, if enough would get out and vot thatwouldchange.ForthosewhothinkSGAisai elite "clique," why don 'tyou try stopping bythei office? If no students stop by, the senators car only vote on what they perceive the issues to be You can bet that, if a significant number o students start making regular trips to the offices their issues would start coming up in the course of debate.
I hope the SGA gets behind direct election: before this year is out. It seems like we have thi: debate every year. There comes a time when the talking should end, and the leaders should step forward to truly represent the students.

Column: Meeting Title IX? 'Cut the crap'
by Chris Doscher
Inspiring words from Athletics Director lar McCaw on Northeastern's achievement of it Title IX requirements:
"Obviously, this is something we're realh proud of," he told The Northeastern ('All New is Good News") Voice. "It really reflects th< commitment of President Freeland and the insti tution to comply with not only the letter of th<(-( law, but the spirit."
I guess the "spirit of the law" includes cuttin; a women's sport (for the second time) that wot the league championship two years ago befor< it was cut for the first time.
There's more. According to The Voice, 1| usual, everything is just hunky-dory at good ok NU. In fact, we're now "likely among the leader in providing opportunities for women athletes,
rj\e6i|
■■:
iccording to McCaw.
Let's recap: The spirit of the law means it is jood to cut a women's sport. We've cut a vomen's sport, so we're now among the lead- :rs in opportunities for women athletes. It's easy
0 see that the actions don't match the words in his situation. There is nothing to be proud of lere.
McCaw's rationale for reinstating gymnastics or one season: the school had not yet achieved lender equity. So, the gymnastics team was nought back to help the school achieve gender :quity, and now that the school has achieved its [oal, gymnastics is being tossed out like old weat socks. McCaw says gymnastics is not leeded because proportionality can be chieved without it.
I don't see any "spirit" in the decision to cut lymnastics. Sure, there isn't much spectator iterest in the sport, so it doesn't bring in a ton of svenue. That's been the university's argument all long.
Let's be honest: There isn't a lot of spectator iterest i n ANY sport at Northeastern . How often Jo we sell out sporting events? Once, maybe /vice a year when we play home hockey games gainst BU? If a lack of spectators was a good sason for NU to cut a sport, our men's hockey jam would have been cut after 1996-97, and >ur football team would have been cut several ears ago.
Our women's hockey and basketball teams »/ould have been long gone. Don't even men- on crewand track. And baseball? Well, let'sjust ay the empty seats far outnumberthe spectators
1 Fenway Park for the baseball Beanpot. Any lusky hoops fan remembers what it was like itting in Matthews Arena with about 150 other >yal Northeasternit.es on a Sunday afternoon luring the 1995-96, watching our basketball :am stumble to a 4-24 record. Some of them irobably wished NU would just cut men's bas- stball to put the team out of its misery. But the am hung tough, and brighter days are ahead, oth for the players and the fans.
Men's basketball, football and especially len's hockey are re-emerging with strong teams ftera few years of down seasons. The university lidn't write them off, so why are they dropping le ax on a team that only accounts for a blip on le athletics department budget?
For a school that continually proclaims its ommitmentto diversity, cutting gymnastics is a :ep backward. College gymnastics programs ave become a rare thing, and NU is killing a olden opportunity to establish national promi- ence that could have been ga i ned by attracti ng >p gymnasts to the school.
The decision doesn't expand opportunities
*±eD
for women, it narrows them. The university's explanation for cutting gymnastics doesn't make sense. If they feel the need to cut something, they ought to "cut the crap" and give students a logical explanation.

Column: On integrity and rectal exams
by Max Vtiourin
Have you ever seen Richard Freeland kiss ass? What am I saying, if you've been at Northeastern for at least a year, you probably have. But have you ever seen Richard Freeland and George Matthews kiss ass at the same time? Now, that's a sight few students have ever observed!
This Monday morning, I was fortunate enough to witness such an event. I was actively procras- tinating outside the Student Center when a splash of applause caught the attention of my ear. As I moved in the direction of this distur- bance I came upon a tent f i I led with what looked like administrators on a day out. Fighting my natural inclination to hide my face and run away, I took a step forward. Admittedly, what I saw underthattent deserves morethanjustacolumn. It deserves a National Geographic special at the least; something like "Mating Rituals InThe Jungles of Higher Education." Still, I'll try my best to give you a sense of the event.
Officially, it was called "The Stanley A. & Barbara E. Young Sculpture Garden Dedication." In reality it could just as well have been called an ass-licking fest. Freeland and Matthews were center stage, licking away at Stanley Young, the wealthy Northeastern alumnus responsible for the Sculpture Garden's existence. Now, when I say licking, I don't mean the sort of thing that you and I do whenever we want something, or feel guilt, or grateful. I am talking about professional I icking, the sort that cleanses better than a dozen enemas, the sort that behooves the lickers to be paid thousands of dollars in remuneration.
Everybody was there. That is, everybody who's anybody. In other words, students, with the exception of the SGA president, were not present. Yet, every now and then, pulling their tongues out of the distinguished benefactor's ass, the speakers briefly mentioned the student body, rushing right back to the sphincter. At one point, for instance, after giving a long speech about the effect the Sculpture Garden has on parents who enter the university from the Colum- bus Lotside, Mr. Matthewssuddenly proclaimed: "That's what this university is all about - young people!" He then paused for a second, obvi- ously realizing the absurdity of that statement in the context of the event, and moved back to more familiar territory, Mr. Young's rectum. Even-
tually, Mr. Matthews became so entangled in his bounteous glorification of Mr. Young that he began to lose track of reality, asserting that the Sculpture Garden has "changed the tenor of the university" and even "the self-esteem of the students."
The bullshit continued to flow in this fashion. I sat quietly, jotting down notes, trying not to laugh or vomit. I was, in a sense, happy to catch a glimpse of such a spectacle, but I was also madly upset. What upset me personally about the event was not the rectal cleansing - it's understandable that a university as young as Northeastern has to work hard for its money. However, the money in question was spent not on the university, but on bad art and expensive landscaping. The nature of the spending was mandated by the benefactor, and soany expres- sion of gratitude to him, especially one involving a licking from the school's president and chair- man of the board, seemed preposterous.
There was something sweet about the whole thing. The benefactor, Mr. Young, graduated from Northeastern in 1946 when the university had no real campus. He has donated other works of art to the school in the past, and was clearly interested in making Northeastern into a more beautiful place. However, for a university that is laying off faculty, replacing full-time faculty with part-timers and cutting down its liberal arts programs, a sculpture park seems not just ex- travagant, but useless - almost an affront to its students and its staff. To make things even worse, the art chosen for the Sculpture Garden is of the sort that a lower middle class family would put in its back yard after winning the lottery - it desperately lacks any and all artistic merit, just like all the other pieces of "art" donated by Mr. Young.
Unfortunately, Northeastern 's administration fails to realize that it is not, as Mr. Matthews said, physical surroundings that "inspire the mind and the spirit, "but a good faculty. A university always depends on the support of its benefactors, but at least a meager amount of good judgment has to be exercised by the administration, and bene- factors should not be allowed to mandate how their money is spent, after all, they are not the federal government. For now, we are stuck with professors who worry about tenure, lousy com- puter labs, mtroductoryclasses that are taught by teaching assistants and an artificial brook, not to mention a masturbating David, a Brancusi imita- tion and a big, menacing, despicably ugly orb.

T+n YEARS FROM NOW: IS THIS SOME KINDTrFT^ra^HOR?
A prophecy of sorts by a student with NU in his blood
by Peter Pan
If time is a predator, the future is a fierce predator. With claws of light and breath of darkness. Predators can sense fear, so don't be afraid of the future. Besides, it's pointless, because the fu- ture is inevitable. You cannot avoid it, you can only make sure it is your version of the future that is. Otherwise, what's the point?
Madness is the root to all sanity, and sanity is evil. The future is made of mad- ness. The future will be perfect. All is made from plastic, in the future. The future will be made by hum-mum-dum
people, people like my friend KarzyYan. All my friends like Yan, forYan tries to be a good man. He helps us all uncondi- tionally, expecting nothing in return. He gives us his work when we ask. We do not need to work when Yan is around, we do not need to think when Yan is around. Yan is the man of the moment, a man of the future.
All hail Yan, all hail the future. Yan, like me, my father, my grandfather, and the rest of my family, graduated from the college of practical future at this univer- sity. But unlike me, Yan and the rest of my
family will create a present and a future.: A time will come when the earth will move again. And there will be rain, yet no rain will fall. All that is sane will be forgotten. Only works of fiction will re- main. They will have no meaning. Only Yan will have meaning -- living in the clouds with his fish, seven of them. He will call them his babies. With each pass- ing day he will eat one of them. Then he> will travel to the sea, riding on a bumble bee, looking for a fish to live with him in the clouds. That is how Yan will keep track of time.

pictures in their college yearbooks.
Now, after nineteen years, faculty pictures are once again a part of the Northeastern Cauldron. Whether or not this fact is due to the Zeitgeist-induced yearbook-as-a-slice- of-life theory is still too early to judge, so for now the section shall exist as part of the editor's wide array of whims. Hopefully, though, the section will remain a solid tradi- tion, and admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to teaching the likes of us can once again become part of the colle- giate experience.
Also included in the section, is a special insert, Through a Student's Eyes, featuring student essays on three exceptional mem- bers of the faculty.

HROUGH A STUDENT'S EYES
Essays on teachers by students
Issam Zineh on Dr. Eusene Bernstein, Pharmacy
: mv ^^ ^
I remember a dirty yard, Below it a wine cellar, And seen from the attic The mountains' apocrypha.
from Summer Notes Boris Pasternak
II am reminded of other days. The days of science, its buildings stark, rigid as a -,:orpse and as sacred. The window would filter a square of light into one section of lallway. Yellow. What other color could it ever be? The corridors would hold up the vails, the walls cradling paintings of stout men with great sexual appetites, their ives, love affairs with progress. The ghostly streak of an animal's shadow, the ceiling he color of sacrifice. The necessity of all this, the love of it all like the swell of noving forward.
I have been talking with Dr. Bernstein. He teaches the anatomy and physiology of hings. I have forgotten where I am again. Is that the mark of great teachers, those that become a beloved store of memory? These: the ones that make you forget where 'ou are -- not in a classroom, not in the oak of the office, but where you are, folded nto yourself like paper.

A Bit Like
a Poem
You see — I have copied your sonnet, because I found that it is lovely and simple and born in the form in which it moves with such quiet decorum. It is the best of those of your poems that you have let me read. And now I give you this copy because I know that it is important and full of new experience to come upon a work of one's own again written in a strange hand.
— Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
On a recent Saturday afternoon I am preparing for a visit with a former teacher of mine. By preparation, I do not mean I am overly fussy with my clothes or my hair, I mean a sort of mental preparation. I have not seen my teacher in months, at least since finishing classes in March. I try to remember the questions I have been collecting over the months and the titles of the books I have read that still puzzle me or that I simply want his opinion of. This does not take too long. I do it as I dress and put my coat on.
I do not think more on these questions as I ride the subway to his apartment. Too much self-conscious preparation can make these sorts of things stale and awkward.' Though I have never felt awkward in his presence, it is something altogether different to meet with a teacher one has great respect for outside of class. The student- teacher relationship never seems to terminate: I am always looking for and receiving instruction from my former teacher. I am always held captivated by his talk without- being put into a mindless trance.
Of her first poetry teacher, Robert Lowell, the poet Anne Sexton writes, "It seems to me that people remember the voice of the teacher they loved long after they havei forgotten what he said." In class, my teacher reads a poem aloud with such purpose- that the effect on the student is a cross between enrapture and idolatry — well, ati least for me. I know all about the movie where the literature teacher gets blamed for the tragic act of his student. Often what the student takes from his teacher is at cross- purposes with the teacher's intentions. My teacher wants to show us good poems and he wants to see us write them. He wants to teach us form and beauty. My favorite of the poems my teacher reads aloud moves slowly and with decorum. His voice is mostly quiet and respectful. He reads a poem, I believe, the way a poet would want it read.
There is something at once mythic and common about great teachers. They make themselves accessible while holding back something of their lives — precise, fac- tual, biographical statements like, "In 1959 I took a train to Chicago and there struck up a conversation with a woman who would become my wife." These statements the student does not need to hear. Best to leave these events to the imagination. They are mythic, as myths are exemplary. Great teachers' lectures create a story that
-fe%
-
one remembers and feels compelled to share. My teacher delivers a lecture like It was one long poem. He paces himself and there are moments when he and his students rest. Then here is a story about how the poem was written or where — in a small room above a garage when the poet was especially Door and hungry or on a ferry crossing over a river just to pass :he time.
By the time I make all the necessary switching of subway :rains and buses I have forgotten the questions I want to ask my :eacher. He receives me warmly and with great expectation. We make our way through his apartment back into the kitchen A/here he begins to prepare a meal that will cook for three lours while we talk. Like ritual, our visits adhere to this pattern bf talking and eating.
I As I walk through the apartment I cannot help but stop and _nspect his bookshelves or the small collections of objects ining the walls and filling the tabletops: the coins,- the small, sculpted historical figures,- and the paintings and drawings. He has spent a lifetime collecting, and his collections are various and beautiful. I take the opportunity to inspect the ollection of Egyptian figures on top of one of the book- shelves while he goes to check on the meal. I do not want to oe intrusive or look too closely, but I do not want to be nattentive or pretend these things don't matter.
We are talking and it takes me a while before I can take the boems I want to show him out of my bag. He reads my work end the apartment is silent. I look out the window at the ocean below us. The building he lives in is one of the highest in the town and below us we can see the ocean out to the horizon and the people and cars moving. I give him time with the Doems and do not speak until he is ready. He makes some :omment on the whole — whether he likes it or not. My teacher does not linger too long before he gets into the poem and Degins to point out lines that are particularly strong or weak. I pon't make any defense for a weak line. Usually, I know when la line is particularly lazy or silly, and it helps to have someone pack you up on this. He suggests a revision or two and hands he poem back. Later at home, I will look at the strong lines he ook time to point out. I will realize how weak the weak lines are and their effect on the entire poem. Their weakness makes he poem unreadable. Later, I will revise the entire poem.
Teachers of poetry perhaps more than anything else edu- cate their students' tastes. Anne Sexton also said this of Robert Lowell. They teach them what to leave out of a poem. Not because there are things — images or emotions — that should
sedb0
not go into a poem but because a young poet must learn from his teacher how to manipulate language in such a way as to make these images or emotions interesting. There is a lot of gushiness and over-sentimentality in young poets' writing. The teacher's job is to condition the poet to see this. At first, the lessons of the teacher involve the poem after it has been written. Later, if the young poet has been attentive he will remember the lessons while he writes.
I had woken up late and so did not have a chance to eat lunch before leaving to visit with my teacher. I ate some crackers on the walk to subway. By now, I have been talking with him for several hours and feel the hunger, which had made me more attentive, begin to make me weakand sluggish. My teacher checks the pot on the stove one last time and announces that the meal is properly cooked. There is stew and fresh bread and we both salt and pepper our bowls of stew. It is the end of October and the stew is hot and good. The bread holds the stew without becoming too soggy. It is a good meal and I visit the pot on the stove several times before I am finished. There are no fillers orthickeners in the stew. I had asked him if he used flour or another thickener. Now I can taste what he meant when he replied, "Of course there are people that do that — use flour — but we cannot. You do not use any thickeners or fillers in stew. The trick is to let the stew thicken itself. The mushrooms and beef juices and potatoes and parsley will do that without you resorting to flour." We sit over the empty bowls of stew and finish our drinks before resuming our watch over the town in the back room.
It is beginning to get dark. During the summer when I visited him last we had several hours after the meal to watch the ocean and talk before it got dark. The talk switches from poetry to the events of the previous summer and then to the trip I took to Spain last year. He tells me about his plans to take a trip to Europe next summer. When I returned last winter from Spain, I had questions I wanted to ask him. It was near the end of my time at Northeastern. Then I found work after graduation and did not get to talk with him about these questions until this past summer.
The questions were not literary, or at least not then. But they did seem a bit fictional and so I worried that they were literary and not real problems. During my first few weeks in Spain one of my teachers told us about Spanish Catholicism and the religious icons that men from the various churches of the city would parade solemnly on their shoulders through the streets in the week leading up to Easter. The rest of the year these
icons of martyred saints or Christ crucified would remain at the head of the altars of their separate churches. They would be prayed to and worshipped by the people of this city in Spain. In the candle-lit churches I visited, they took on the creepy reality dolls take on in the dark. Their flesh was painted the color of flesh but their clothing was not the colors of typical clothing and some of the clothing had been gold enameled. I asked my teacher if maybe this form of worship — of images, believed to be a channel to God — did not, in some way, break the commandmentj against the idolatry of false gods. He rebuffed me for misunderstanding.
When my trip was over my doubts remained. The idea of praying to images seemed too close to what young poets do when they write. This brought new weight to my writing, yet, in some sense, it seemed valid to think that without writing poems all those Spaniards before the altar were poets. They didn't need to write poems or take them around to be seen and perhaps a few of them were satisfied or fulfilled by prayer — by putting words together and addressing them to an image.; When I returned I tried to relate this to my teacher, but all I could say was, "How do you love people?"
That's a corny way of putting it, but it seemed to get to the crux of my problem. And more, that question leads to a question about the writing of poetry: If one1 writes for other people as well as oneself, how does one avoid using a sermonizing or, at worst, condescending tone? My teacher gives me the best answers he can. They are good answers and wise, but I feel as if the questions should go unasked.
My teacher and I make our way out of the small back room and towards the front of the apartment where he sits in a chair and I sit on the sofa. We talk some abouti music. He has me listen to a Canadian singer sing Longfellow's "Lady of Shallot." He says he is going to share it with some of his students to remind them of the beauty of the ballad form — a popular form of poetry. When it comes to an end, he knows my question before I ask it and responds, "The poem is really about someone whc is unable to love — although it involves long-dead codes of chivalry, and knights and ladies." It feels much later than it is. I am tired and I get up to leave because I want,] as I think my teacher wants, a little private time before it gets late.
During a visit the previous summer he and I sit in the back room until it is time for me to leave. The room is dark except for the light from a replica Tiffany stained-glassi lamp in the corner. The moon is out over the ocean. Where the jetty had been there;; is now the swelling of high tide. The beach recedes as far back as the stone retaining wall. It is the third of July. Sometime past nine fireworks start going up in three or four towns along the coastline. We see all of them but cannot hear the explosions. The fireworks throw up their patterns, hold for a moment or two, and the spent ash! descends back into the towns. It is almost time for me to catch the bus. The firework'] displays shut off one after the other. My teacher disappears into another room anc returns with a book of his friend's poetry. The page he is reading from has taken or the multiple colors of the stained-glass lamp. He is reading me a poem. The poerr is coming to an end. He reads not rushing to finish, not reading now but chanting:' "we are less than gods//we are holy, holy, holy."

John Sosa on Del Lewis, Theatre
THA fUNKe hOMOSAplEN
Mr. Del Lewis - "THA fUNKe hOMOSAplEN." What would you think of a professor who is convincing you to join his theatre department, if you saw a sign with that inscription above his door? I myself was impressed, yet a bit threatened. I thought only non-professor types had these kinds of funky signs in and around their public domain.
Anyhow, although my initial impression of Del was not the one I imagined I would have, I eagerly accepted his offer to join the theatre department, and in retrospect, I can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision of my educational career. This man has given me a chance and the drive to fulfill my dreams. He has given me an education -- a highly underrated commodity.
Most professors just preach their dogma and go home to continue their research. Del is much more than the typical professor because he is there for you. Forgive the cliche, but it is special when you find a professor who cares. I mean really cares about your well-being and future. He is a professor who won't ridicule, won't judge, and won't ignore. That is truly uncommon. Not only uncommon, but almost unheard of. When you attend a large university like Northeastern, you expect to be a social security number within the magnetic memory of some database, yet with Del, Northeastern has been much more than that.
Not only am I a real person to him but I am a real friend. Again, friendship is another precious yet incredibly underrated commodity. It is a funny thing how our professor-student relationship has been affected by our friendship. Now, I don't just go to class, I continuously strive to be the best student there. Of course, I want to learn as much as I can, and be the best whenever I can. But more importantly, I want him to be proud of me -- I do not want to let him down, and I want to show him that he has really taught me something.
The tremendous amount of motivation this friendship has given me is great in itself, but is has also pushed me in the direction of attaining knowledge about something I love -- The Theatre. Who can argue with wanting to learn as much as you can about what you really want to spend the rest of your life doing?
And my dear reader, if you have had a similar experience with a professor, please do not take it for granted. Consider it a special blessing — I assure you it is uncommon. And please, do not forget to thank this special teacher for his or her caring and commitment.
For all you teachers that do engage in this kind of excellent teaching — THANK YOU and CONTINUE. We need you to get us through this occasionally awful thing we call life.

FROM EDITOR TO DEAR TEACHERS, WITH LOVE
Hippocrates, in his famous Oath, swore to consider his teachers equal to his own parents. Some
teachers have embraced this oath from the other end, and have considered their students equal to
their own children. It is to these teachers, the great ones, that this section is dedicated to.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that "one of the benefits of a college education is to show the
boy its little avail." Well, this boy has learned just that, and equipped with this knowledge he shall
go out into the world and make his parents proud.

APATHY 101: WHAT'S THE POINT?
Pondering the meaning of extracurriculars
by John
Whether people care about politics or paintballing, journalism or the military, religious or spiritual enlightenment, they have a place to go, have fun and learn something about who they are. People can find themselves, lose themselves and show the world what you can do with activities. You can build and compete in mini-bajas, celebrate ethnic or cultural traditions, protest injustice or find life- long friends.
For all those people who complained when events didn't live up to their ex- pectations or wondered why some an- nual fair didn't happen, I have one thing to say -- you should've gotten involved.
Of course, everyone is busy all the time, but student groups don't shut down because of midterms or daily life, they go on each week. Unfortunately, most students at Northeastern view the uni- versity as a place they go to to get their diploma. School spirit is hard to come by at Northeastern, and most students never even consider joining an fa
Quinn
organization.
What's important to know is that there are other people like you who share your convictions -- go find them, they're wait- ing! Wherever you find yourself in the world of student groups, these are the true leaders on campus — the people who give up their already-precious time and energy to do what they think is right.
Students at a university can be one of two things -- they can be customers waiting to get the service the paid for, or they can be members of the university community.
Let us hope then that students will finally get the point of a true college education, join the community, and be- come active in things that make a univer- sity what it is.

A NIGHT AT THE STUDENT CENTER
A sober look at a NU tradition: The Student Activities Fair
by Jennifer Seelhorst
It was a night that filled my Denny's mus with Starbucks Coffee, so I was happy. Regardless, or maybe inspite of the student organization tables whining to me to join their club. I didn't have the heart to tell "Students for Life" that I was pro-choice, nor could I tell the countless number of sororities that I didn't need to buy my friends. The event was amusing nonetheless.
Turnout was low, as usual. The ever-present 'RBB was spinning in the Atrium, and about twenty other groups set up tables. NBC's season premiere of their Thursday night lineup, "Must See TV," was the headliner for Northeastern's 9th annual "Night at the Student Center." So, instead of being couch potatoes at home, students sat in backbreaking chairs on the first floor of the Curry Student Center to watch four hours of television and get free latte mugs filled with an acidic Starbucks "House Blend."
A wide-screen television showed Friends, Union Square, Seinfeld, Veronica's Closet and ER Live! - with Seinfeld in the middle as a teaser. Cathy Connolly, the program advisor for the Student Center said at one point: "This is our way of giving something back to the students." Well, if that's so,why not just give us a tuition refund?

Other features of the night included "bouncy boxing," a Velcro obstacle course, a caricature artist and a psychic reader. The ballroom dancing club per- formed and cheerleaders demonstrated stunts. It was almost too much excite- ment for me to handle.
"A 'Night at the Student Center' is good for incoming freshmen to see all the clubs. Since we all participate, it really helps with mem- bership," said Angela Fortunado, middler biology major and member of "Students for Life." Of course, with this sort of student turnout the club's membership will hardly grow, and that's a blessing in disguise.
The best part of the night, hands down, was the free magnet I got from The North- eastern News. I'll cherish it always.
Well, there's always nextyear. Let's hope apathy won't be in vogue in 1999. Fat chance!

CARIBBEAN STUDENT ORGANIZATION
Playing hard and working hard
by Kami-Leigh Agard
As Caribbean people we know how to work hard and play hard. This past year has reflected just that. It has been a momentous year for the Caribbean Student Orsanization. The Executive Board, under the leadership of Wayne Augustine, President,- and Robert Fitzwilliam, Vice President, was able to mobilize the organi- zation and be instrumental in landmark events such as the Rosa Spiller Case and Spring quarter's "Dialogue on Race."
However, to ease the tension, we played hard at the "Plaza" and the "Castle." There we ate Caribbean food from Chef "Sweet Finger" and wound down to music from "DJ Bins-Bins." Our Public Relations Officer Antonette Jerrick, collaborated with many other organizations and successfully brought reggae artist Spragga Benz to Northeastern.
Yes, we played hard and worked hard. Will things ever be the same without Robbs, Wayne, Chrisy, the "Bishop," Robert, Brian and the rest of us who graduated9 It is hard to say, "Good-bye," for this was 'Our Caribbean.

BOBS FACT AND FANCY
A look at NU media, past & future
by Bob Sprague
Celebrating a century often means looking backward. A rear- view-mirror look at NU's student media groups reveals this rank- ing, by age:
— The oldest group, the student newspaper, dates to 1912, the year Fenway Park opened, though the paper became The North- eastern News in 1926.
— Second oldest is The Cauldron, launched in 1 91 7, the year of the Russian Revolution and when U.S. courts adopted knee-jerk laws aimed at curtailing radicals.
— Third is The Spectrum literary magazine, brought to life by Joe DeRoche about 1 967, as Vietnam War protests heated up.
— Fourth is radio station WRBB, founded in November 1970, the fall after National Guard shot and killed four students at Kent State.
— Fifth is The Onyx, later named The Onyx-Informer, established as newspaper for people of color in 1 972, the Watergate break- in year.
— Sixth is The NU Times in Review, founded in that George Bush year of 1 990 by conservatives seeking to offset perceived liberal- ism at The NU News.
But that's old news. How about trying to imagine NU media groups 1 00 years from now? Sit back, close your eyes, smile. The picture could look like this: Six separate groups will no longer exist. Replacing them will be one student megagroup, called The Source.
The Source will perform all the services that the six current groups offer. It will include other media not now represented — television, filmmaking, recording, photography and all the mani- festations of the World Wide Web, which will have become the mainstream information route.
Students will log on to The Source via mini-Cray laptops (using chips millions of times faster than today's best Pentium). On such laptops, they'll see NU Student WebTV, hear Internet 'RBB (forget 1 0 watts,- it will rock the world), read The NU News Online or look up a grad's photo in the Web version of The Cauldron. The Source will operate from its own network and server. That will keep students free from NUnet traffic jams.
In this brave new world, diversity will reign. The Source will represent, in the medium in which it is most comfortable, all minority groups — including WASPs. For example, the Salsa Web site will reveal the variety of Hispanic cultures in sounds, pictures and text.
As is appropriate in a democracy, reporters will continue to disclose facts, some of which administrators may prefer to keep secret. In 2098, the difference will bethatall students can choose to become reporters — using databases on Northeastern infor- mation that The Source has collected.
In this new world, inmates will be running the asylum.
Bob Sprague, a newspaper editor and reporter for 22 years, advised student media groupsat Northeastern from May8, 1995 until July 30, 1998.

Advancins culture and preserving identity
by Maxamillion-Shell Crawford
The Latin American Student Organization, known as LASO and )nce called the Puerto Rican Society, has evolved into one of ^ortheastern's most prominent organizations. This is due to the Dedication to the Advancement of our Culture and the Preservation )f our Identity," as our motto states.
In the midst of our endeavors last year, we celebrated our tenth ear in existence. We also sponsored a variety of activities such as ood drives for Thanksgiving and toy drives for Christmas. We also participated in the City Years Serve-a-Thon and other community ervice events. As for in-house events, we have hosted the Latin Love Kffair, the LASO Thanksgiving Dinner, the LASO secret Santa, the ASO parade of flags, and the traditional Latino/a Senior Banquet for >ur outgoing seniors at Northeastern University.
And this is just a short selection from the many things LASO has ione during the year to enjoy and learn of each others identity as well s help others in the process. Most importantly, The Latin American tudent Organization has not been here at Northeastern for just atinos but for everyone.

WRBB 104.9FM
Spinning the tunes
by Luca A. Amara
WRBB continued it's twenty five years of broadcasting ex- cellence in 1997-1998 with the same cutting edge sound that it has been known for in the greater Boston area.
Radio Back Bay (RBB) continued to broadcast to the North- eastern and surrounding communities. Membership and stu- dent involvement rose dramatically. WRBB's Executive Board decided at the beginning of the 1 998 Spring quarter to adjust the block formatting to accommodate more disc jockeys and more diverse forms of music.
During this year we've seen several cultural shows emerge and other shows strengthen their listener base. The Utsav Show, produced by members of Northeastern University's
Utsav club have provided the latest cultural mix to hit the RB airwaves.
WRBB was also asked to be the flagship for a national syndicated talk show which airs in twenty markets across th United States. "Sex, Drugsand Rockand Roll, "with student cc hosts deals with many issues facing college students toda1) Other long-standing shows continued to provide faithful lis teners with the sounds that only a station like WRBB cat produce.
And of course, nobody covered those Husky sporting event like WRBB. We were able to broadcast all the home games anJ many of the away games for football, hockey, basketball, an< baseball. WRBB and it's Executive Board would like to than the student body for their continued support of our program' ming.

On the new life of the Chess Club
by Zack Brown
This year the chess club re-awakened after a period of deep sleep. In fact, the club was on the brinkof death before itwas rediscovered, and fresh life breathed into it. Unfortunately it was too late to receive funding or to apply for an office, so the sole member (and president) went up to the storage lockers and sifted through the wreckage. Two large boxes and one decayi ng blue knapsack greeted him as he opened the small locker on the third floor. Pulling them out onto the floor, he noticed that some semblance of order still remained. Apparently the actual chess equipment (boards, pieces, and clocks) were in the bag and one of the boxes, while a huge mass of indecipherable papers were in the other.
Consolidating all non-chess materials that had slipped into the other box and bag, he placed the nearly overflowing archive back in the locker, never to reemerge. Tallying up the chess materials, he found perhaps ten boards, six full sets of pieces, and perhaps six or seven clocks. The chess club was back in business.
Actually becoming a recognized club again was a bit of a chore, but the powers that be were patient and generous with theall but incompetent would- be president. Eventually, after many adventures so trivial they are not worth the telling, the first meeting of the reborn chess club dawned on the Student Center.
Because of the extreme ineptitude of the president, no publicity had been arranged, and the day of the meeting came quietly. But thanks to the downright wonderful intervention of a dear friend, several hundred absurd fliers did make their way into the President's hands, and he found himself in the very repetitious position of trying to explain the chess club in one word or less to passers by on the quad, while experimenting with various ways of encouraging them to take one of the exquisitely crafted fliers.
That evening, the chess pieces werestanding at the ready on theirboards, right in the main food area of the Student Center. This will get them, thought the President hopefully. And indeed, so it did. Before the end of the evening the pieces were flying and conversation was brimming among the new members of the freshly reanimated chess club.
With lightning judgment, the president came up with the idea of collecting e- mail addresses. And by the end of that night, he had a substantial number. Later on, he would use his DAC connections to try (and fail) to get a mailing list set up. Ah well. Strings only pull so far. But the club had taken its first, surprisingly strong, step.
Over the next few months a crowd of regulars began to take shape, consisting mainly of people who happened to be passing by (there being still no advertising whatsoever). Ah the stones one could tell, the discovery of all the various playing strengths and styles. It was wonderful. Eventually someone stepped forward and said they would be happyand proud to supporta second meeting day each week. So for the rest of the quarter there was chess twice a week in the Student Center. Not only that, but these humble beginnings were destined to be just the start of something really big!
Since both the president and the new sponsor were graduating after the following quarter, they both felt, with some urgency, the need to recruit some youthful replacements. This was accomplished by a plea for help on the (now quite large)artificially created mailing list. Within a fewdaysa rather large number of brave souls had stepped forward, anxious to lead the chess club into the next millennium. Within a staggeringly short space of time the old president had retired, and the younger heads had begun a dynamic and powerful campaign of chess organization and play. By the end of Spring Quarter the future of the chess club was assured.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW
by Mike Trocchi
January 16, 1998
It was the day that the Northeastern sports year revolved around . It was the axis on which the Huntinston Avenue sports resursence spun.
When Bobby Davis fed Todd Barclay 3:03 into overtime durms Northeastern hockey's first meetins of the season asainst that arrosant bastion of aristocracy, Boston University, and Barclay put the puck past soaltender Tom Noble, Matthews Arena came unslued.
The bustling crowd of 4,189 celebrated the Huskies 2-1 overtime win over collese hockey's Evil Empire by tossins their Surge! soft drink bottles onto the ice. Reporters stood in the press box applauding, NU sports fans swelled with pride. Even veterans to great Nil sports moments, like Sports Information Director Jack Gnnold, donned wide, bright grins.
It was the best moment of the year. It signaled Northeastern hockey's resurgence in a year of many great moments.
It was hard to top what the men's hockey team did this season. Going from 8-25-3 to 1 9- 15-3 in one year renewed fans' faith in a program rich in tradition. Coach Bruce Crowder, only in his second year, laid the groundwork for a program that could go deep into the NCAA tournament next season. The loss of star goaltender, Marc Robitaille, who signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in June, is testament to the increasing quality of hockey players that choose to go to Northeastern.
Murphy's Law became simple in 1997-98: Win, win early, win late, win when the clock reads 0:00, but always win. Quarterback Jim Murphy, who hopes to make the New England Patriots rosterthisfall, helped the Huskies reel off six straight wins en routeto reaching the cup of the NCAA Division l-A football tournament.
Murphy and the Huskies left their guts on the field in Philly where they fell to No. 1 Villanova, 49-35.
In women's basketball, veteran coach Joy Malchodi pulled off another magic act by bringing a 4-23 team to a 15-13 record - two wins from the NCAA tournament.
The return of Betsy Palacek was one of the year's great stones, returning from ACL surgery to become, along with Tesha Tinsley, the team's prolific scorer.
Jen White, who garnered The Northeastern News Female Player of the Year, tore up the record books. Along with senior co-captain Keri Bettenhauser and goaltender Danielle Butsch, the field hockey team continued to reign as a national power. Jackie Carl, Tori Calio and the rest of the squad need to make sure tradition continues.
Harold Miller's game-winning shot to beat Hartford on January 8 led the way for the Huskies of the hardcourt to put in a respectable 14-14 record after a 7-20 debacle the previous season. Coach Rudy Keeling isn't Jim Calhoun yet, but with the right recruiting he could be there in the future.
Women's hockey finished third in the nation and with the proliferation of women's college hockey programs around the country, this program will become even more promi- nent on the national scene.
(Q ■
V
m
And, finally, when sprinstime came and the trees greened and the flowers blossomed, baseball and women's crew competed with the best in the nation. Neil McPhee's baseball squad came one win away from the NCAA tournamentand women 'screw finished fourth in the nation.
Carlos Pena, drafted by Texas Rangers with the 1 0th overall pick in the 1 998 amateur baseball draft, should have a great future in baseball. He's a nice guy and if anybody can buck the Leo Durocher quote, "Nice guys finish last!", it's Pena.
All these programs individually contrib- uted to a collective step forward on the national sports scene, and even though there were slumping programs this year at NU, the success of the winning ones overshadowed their doldrums.
In 1997-98, there was also much sad- ness. The death of football player Chris Midgett sent us all back from spring break feeling lost, sad and angry. A Virginia gunman took from the Northeastern family a physi- cally and intellectually talented student-ath- lete. All that is left for the NU community is to try to learn further the fact that violence solves nothing and also that we should be thankful for a lot in life as college students who can make a difference.
Finding out that he would never play hockey again because of a rare spinal condi- tion that could paralyze him, was crushing for Aaron Toews.
But as all of us should learn, there is life beyond sports. A.J. Toews is too talented and too smart to let this get him down. "I'll be fine," said Toews shortly after learning his fate. The Los Altos, California native realized that in the grand scheme of things he was in Boston for a much more important reason.
From the highs and lows of this sports season, NU basked in the glow of a shifting college hockey spotlight, found out the bit- terness of coming close but falling short in baseball and football, and found out that it is among the elite in many sports.
Here's to 1 998-99 and seeing if Hunting- ton Ave. Hounds can do it again.

THE LEARNING ELEMENT
by Max Vtiourin
Students make up the most impor-l tant element of a university. They give! universities a reason for existence anc they often perpetuate this existence b) comins back in order to teach. It is inter-l estins to note that institutions of higheij.
education have always existed with teaching as their ultimate goal and funai tion. Even in the days of Plato anc Socrates, universities existed with thJ student in mind.
Some would argue that research, th< advancement of the arts and sciences, i|i the real reason behind universities' exist ence, and that students are only part oi

However, the arts nd sciences cannot be advanced un- ess knowledge gathered in the now can >e passed on into the future, and al- hough formulas can be written down nd great works of art recorded on pa- >er, tape, and canvas, the next genera-
who most direly need it, higher educa- tion has remained a staple of our society, and a college diploma is now as indis- pensable to the modern man as the high school diploma once was.
Many things have changed since Plato's days, and many things have changed since the days our teachers were stu- dents. College is still looked upon as the
place. Northeastern's urban environment guarantees exposure to diversity in all its forms. The constantly increasing pace of life forces the student to consider his future at all times, and work to not simply graduate, but graduate with knowledge and experience. At the same time, the university no longer has the control it once had over its students, who now

final stop along the route to adulthood, coming of age still entails stories of col- lege life. However, much more of the learning and living now takes place out- side the college campus and the bound- aries established by it, especially at a school like Northeastern.
The Co-op program pushes the stu- dent to confront the reality of the work-
enjoy an immense freedom, and an im- mense responsibility.
This section takes a looks at students, and their experiences at college. It be- gins by reminiscing on the very first days of school, then proceeds to the staples of life at Northeastern, and closes with a number of essays on topics ranging from life and love to students' plans for the future.
Getting to Northeastern was a breeze, an hour on the interstate, no hassles. I came with my mom and my aunt who was smart in the ways of the big city. She knew when to blare the horn or watch for pedestrians who always decided at the last minute to casually stroll in front of your car as if two tons of steel weren't barreling at them.
We pulled up in a street lined with bright yel low t-shirts and clipboards who were pointing in a hundred different di- rections, trying to ease the process of finding your way around and guiding you to where you were supposed to be. Finally, when I found where I was sup- posed to be, I got my keys and went upstairs in Stetson West.
Now, first impression upon walking in, knowing you might have to cram a lot more stuff in there later on, was not good. When you have to push a bed in to the wall to get sufficient walking space it is hardly a good sign. It also doesn't help when you see a large cockroach, about the size of a small rodent, scurry along the edge of the hallway. But, I made peace with the Jurassic bug and de- cided to take care of business.
Branded with my large name tag that I was told never to take off on penalty of death, I went with my mom and my aunt to the first info session. After I found where I was going, my companions de- cided it was time for them to depart so I gave them hugs and they wished me

THE VOYAGE INTO THE UNKNOWN
On first impressions of iife at college
by Esther Lee
The mystery of college life was draw- ing nearer during senior year in High School. Coming from a small town, I had all these dreams of the big city life. So I, the thrifty person that I am, decided to apply to Northeastern University (and many other Boston colleges) to ensure that I would get both college and city life at once. I was accepted at North- eastern and already had plans brewing over the infinite things that I would be doing in the city. Summer orientation came and went (Thank God!), and I could not wait to live in Boston. You must keep in mind that back home consists of many trees and cows, so even things like the T were foreign and interesting to me.
I moved in without problems. The
move-in crews were excellent, and if I ever see the guys who had to carry all my stuff, I swear to take them to dinner (so if you know who you are, I owe you a meal). However, Boston and the country girl would soon collide.
Okay, the aforementioned 7" is really a manifestation of the evil behind technol- ogy. Stupid me almost got hit the first week about three times a day. Even after being here for a while now, I am still waiting for fate to play a sick joke on me and cause me to twist my ankle on the tracks as the T runs me over. The J, however, is not the worst enemy to the NU frosh. No, no, that award is given to the crazy Massachusetts drivers. I can not believe that a driver would actually
go out of his or her way to hit a pedes trian. Mass natives must be on list c wonders of the modern day world.
In any case, after I got all settled in m very tiny room, I decided I would stai my voyage into the unknown. Of course I expected to cover the entire unknow within a few short weeks, or maybe month.
I had planned to be a frequent visitc at the Museum of Fine Arts, Prudenti; Mall, the Boston Symphony Orchestr; and obscure, smoky cafes. I did visit th MFA to see the Picasso exhibit. Nov that was a fantastic show. I saw Faneul Hall and Quincy Market (not for the fir: time) and picked up some great Nir West shoes.
I am yet to see the Symphony orche< tra or any cafe, smoky or not, in whic people can be seen conducting phik sophical arguments. So, as you can se the reality and the dreams do not nece; sarily correlate. School schedules an financial plights worked against the n; ive country girl.
Although I have not yet seen much c Boston, or much of the campus for th< matter (where the hell is Sculpture Par anyway?), I have met plenty of co< people. From sincere individuals to ars, from boring people to freaks, N and Boston have offered me a great po< of people that home simply lacked. met my close friend who has practical become my roommate (ironically, ne ther of us thought we'd want a roon mate). Then, I met a couple of cool gu^ who have adopted the role of task er forcers for my academic progress, < rather my academic struggle. Then thel is the experience that left me floating ffl days.
sb^l
Do you remember the first days on campus, when the Krentzman Quad was buzzins with life? Think back really hard to when you purchased that huge poster that probably still hangs on your wall. Well, do you remember the guys who were selling those posters? Oh! I had such a huge crush on them. I hung around day after day, getting them to talk to me. They had the cutest personalities and the brogue to match. Call me shallow, but the one experience that constitutes my coolest time fresh- men year would be meeting those poster guys. I bought three huge posters from them just so I could see them, and probably would have kept buying if they had stayed longer!
So I didn't get the poster guys, and I haven't yet seen all that I had hoped to see. But all is not lost: I met some friends that I couldn't find back home, and I've done more than I though I would. I've seen some interesting things, and I've laughed until I cried. I guess anything is possible here. What did you do7

COMMUTING
On commuting at NL\
by John Quinn
Commuting is a state of being ye have to experience to really understanci appreciate, and occasionally loathe, has leads to a delicate, but pronounce: love/hate relationship, and like anythir else, it exists on a balance and can toppj one way or the other quite easily.
At Northeastern commuting is howyq get to school when you live as near Symphony Road or as far away as tr boonies of northern Massachusetts. Tr majority of Northeastern students fir themselves categorized as commuterl Most of them live within the Back B< area or the other boroughs of Bostoj Like cockroaches, we are literally ever where and flock to campus each day.
We have many options on how to g here, depending on the distance of o living-caves from campus. Fortunatel the MBTA was gracious enough to spree out like the tendrils of a massive oct pus, reaching throughout Boston ar Eastern Massachusetts, so that's usua the best method of transportation.

The next best option is driving. The oncept is simple, apart from the laby- nth-like geography of Boston's streets, jnatic drivers, and the fact that every- ne always seems to be driving at the ame time. The streets coagulate with ars, making getting to your destination
fficult, but most of the parking spaces uickly disappear as someone leaves to. . . /ell, drive somewhere else. It is literally
While macaroni and cheese, noodles, and pizza are the keystones to most col- lege students' diets, there are plenty of options.
Not all of commuting is warm and fuzzy. There is nothing worse than hav- ing to wait to get home after a long day or having to get up earlier to get any- where. While students living in dorms can get up a minute before classes and

While commuters must overcome the ain of the commute, they soon learn to ijoy their new life-style. It's easy to art enjoying the freedom of living on ne's own, of keeping one's own hours ithout the scornful gaze of the proctor, : missing the delightful blare of the ndom fire alarm, followed by the of Tie waiting in the bitter cold New En- and weather outside.

sprint across campus, commuters have to enjoy taking the time to embrace the morning before that first cup of coffee. Fortunately, Northeastern tries very hard to have a campus community to make students feel welcome and offer a little security (i.e., strength in numbers). This is good -- students should feel wel- come since they pay so much to be here. Still, commuters have a tendency to feel left out of events on campus, but that's just the underside of living on one's own.

DRIVING IN CIRCLES
On parkins at NU
by John Quinn
Since Northeastern is surrounded b the bustling city of Boston, cars are e\ erywhere. Due to this, it has its dail dose of traffic jams and parking shor ages.
Whetherthey're aimed for pedestriar sprinting across Huntington Ave, speec ing around the twisted backroads, or ar a means of transportation for student eventually every car has to stop and pai somewhere. With that, there are man choices with regards to parking, eve though there are a limited number c parking spaces out there.
Students can pay a ludicrous fee pe hour in a parking garage, buy a monthl parking pass from the university, or ru the gamut and try to scour the streets I an empty spot usually accompanied by parking meter. Even if you find a spaa it's probably in a street-cleaning zone part of a specific residential area, a bi stop or, most likely, already occupie by someone.

>ay an extra fee to be able to park over- ight. According to the university, we ave plenty of spaces and we do, for the lost part, during daylight hours. As soon [s evening arrives, and the parking lots lose, students must find spots outside f campus.
Despite the problems, out fair com- luter should not give up hope — in this ity any empty area can become a make- hift parking space. The trick is to avoid le dreaded bright-orange parking ticket nd at all costs - the boot.
Fortunately, New Englanders have al-

keep their questionably-legal or down- right-illegal spot, can put on their haz- ards and claim car trouble, which buys them about 30 minutes of free parking. Either that, or they take the hit and earn a ticket -- in large numbers, they make great UFO landing pads.
Both, driving and parking in Boston is not for the weak-hearted. Commuting isn't a game or a contest, but a warzone, and only the meanest, most devious and ingenious person can even hope to win. Walking or taking the subway will save you the ulcer.

did I play my guitar in a melancholy tiythm, remembering and yearning for ny home, my family, my friends.
My first contact with anyone was dur- ng the third weekend at the "V", upon eturning to the dorm after a weak at- :empt to see the city and it's night life on ny own. The elevator opened revealing :wo drunk members of my floor. One was a girl and my hormones began to cick in, so I said hello, getting back a drunk enthusiastic response. She excused lerself and left to her room. I was left with a blond hyper-drunk from Califor- "iia. We hit it off, since we both had the same pill, though his was from San Diego and mine from Miami. But they were iden- tical, and over this fact, we became wends.
The next day he invited me to join him and some others from our floor to eat unch. These were to be my friends and 3ood ones at that, though I soon realized

how blessed I was to have strictly stated my need to have a single.
The YMCA had a wide range of stu- dents with personalities. Older, cultured, and more experienced in worldly plea- sures. We were quite a set of characters, and I can say now, almost four years past the fact, that I had a memorable time living in the YMCA. All those times we played pranks on the RA's. Throwing pro- jectiles at the gym behind the "Y" and at the apartment buildings across Hunting- ton Street. Sharing experiences with my new friends in the early morning hours, knowing that once back in my room, I would be looking at the beautiful early dawn light over the ghetto, and that sev- eral windows down below, another member of the Bastard Squad would be appreciating the very same view.
My next experience was to move into an apartment with fourgirls, two of which I love to this day, but that's a whole other story.

WORKING: AN ODYSSEY
Surviving col lege with part-time
by Max Vtiourin
I will survive! What sounded like a war cry, was Brian's reaction to seeins his Financial Aid package for the new school year. It was his final lap, and somebody had suddenly cut off the air supply. Myfault, he thought. I should not have switched majors. I should have graduated last year. Last year, like every year before, his parents picked up what remained on the tuition tab. When he suddenly decided to switch from business to photography at the end of his senior year, his parents politely told him that he would be doing so on his own risk, and at his own expense. Of course, before they came to this conclusion, there were faked heart attacks,
employment statics delivered by FedEx in the early hours of the morning, and of course, phone calls. Brian even signed up for Caller ID, but his parents tricked him, calling from friends' houses, cellular phones, and hotel rooms (his mother traveled frequently). Ultimately, the parents' pleas failed to have any effect on Brian, who was more concerned with the color bal- ance of his photography project than statistics, even the ones that listed his major in the cat- egory of Never-Never Land.
If Brian were to survive the consequences of his decision, he would have to get a job. Of course, he could not quit school, after all, that's what he needed the money for, so his job

The new job paid reasonably well, and quired little of his attention, or for that matter, y of his brain. He would come in the after- ions, do some work on the company data- ise, send a few faxes, and by the end of the zek, he'd stop by the payroll office to pick up ; check. His girlfriend was happy, and Brian nself was getting invaluable experience with fice equipment — a skil I that would become /aluable in his co-op assignments. The girl- ;nd was also being busy. She got a job Drking at the A&F store, which not only pro- ted her with money she needed to liberate rself from the tyranny of Brian, but also al- A'ed her to buy A&F merchandise at a 20% Bcount. Very soon, the phrase "May I help u?" became mothers milk to her. Meanwhile, the world was opening its gates :fore Brian, and his desire grew very much in "ich with the opportunities spread out before n. He was going through a transitional period sorts, and became uncomfortable with the ta of working in an office. An Emerson girl he d met earlier was injecting his mind with ;as he was not at all comfortable with - she is a free spirit, and spoke (with no less than : in hereyes)of free will and determinism, of and the meaning of true education, as wel I as : need to fulfill oneself, not matter the ob- cles. Brian was puzzled. He came to North- item so he could get a good co-op, so he jld get a diploma, so he could get a job, so could get the American dream and all its linings. Clearly, the girl could rarely get him her frequency, but she had an undeniably
amazing voice, not to mention her bosom, hair, and character, so after a while Oscar quit his office job, explaining to his uncle that plastic was simply never intended for emotional con- sumption.
At the new girl's behest. Brian got a job as a waiter at a restaurant on Newbury Street. The money was good, and soon Landsdowne Street became Brian's second mailing address. The newgirl was overwhelming his life, and school work was the first thing to suffer. Soon, an antidote was found in the form of proctoring. After a weekend of continuous fun, Brian would do a D-shift, finishing all his homework while getting paid a handsome two dollars above minimum wage. One day, after a decadently collegiate party at a Westland Avenue apart- ment, Brian and his three male buddies de- cidedtofulfilloneoftheirprepubescent dreams, and called an escort service, requesting the best they had to offer. When the Emerson girl appeared at the door, Brian was surprised, but after fu I ly digesti ng the extent of the surprise, he mumbled something about everything being nothing but bullshit and ran off. Then he quit his job at the restaurant, and after finding a quiet, unassuming job at a Mass. Avenue Starbucks, he settled back into his school work. The Emerson girl stopped by once, and after order- ing a small and overpriced Grande, quietly told Brian that part-time jobs come in all shapes and colors, and that by being angry at her he was only demonstrating his shallowness. Brian re- sponded by demonstrating his knowledge of the English language. The girl left. Time passed. Part-time jobs passed.
Sometime in the winter quarter of his senior year, the girl appeared to him in a dream, in the middle of a class on modern portfolio manage- ment. For two weeks afterward, he behaved
like the stock market, going up and down, always coming out on top with a little more that he started with. By Sunday of week two, he had enough contemplative matter to pick up the phone and tell his parents that his real destiny was in the realm of the arts.
Sometime later, as we already know, he cried out: I will survive. For the first time in his collegiate career, he was fully responsible for his own survival, both present and future. What did Brian do? He continued working as a bar- tender at Axis, earning enough for rent, food, and weed. Then, when the second tuition bill arrived, he went to his nearest neighborhood bank and got a large educational loan.
Predictions of Brian's future vary. Some think he will make it. Others - most, actually, think that he will probably be repaying this loan until the day he realizes that real art does not pay, at which point, they predict, he will join a large company with plenty of plastic around the office, marry, buy a house, have children, and make sure that they never ever major in anything but business.

THE NINE RINGS OF CO-OP
A Northeastern co-op story
by Maria Boyadjieva. Editorial art from a 1930s Cauldron
Northeastern is behind me now. Unlike a larse percentase of students who come to this school, I had no idea what co-op was. I am a foreisner, and even though I certainly did my reading assignment on the univer- sity and its offerings before I accepted to enroll, the term "co-op" remained some- what vague.
My freshman year began, and within two weeks I attended my first co-op session. My first impression of the session was that of any other freshman: The lecture given to a herd of a hundred fellow freshmen was an insult to my intelligence. The person at the podium was talking about how we are to behave, how we are to dress, how we are to talk, how, in one phrase, the game works. Obviously, I soon found out that along with that bulk of boring information the session included mention of things that are important. Time passed by, and I con- tinued attending similar sessions almost every week. The pattern I soon discovered involved the advisor handing out paper- work that he would promise to hold us responsible for five years later. Naturally, I found the sessions horribly tedious, and for the most part useless.
That is how the first year passed. Sopho- more year is when most people go on their first co-op assignment, and I was no ex- ception. Followingall the proper steps to a successful first time (no pun intended), I filed all necessary papers, and dully coop- erated with my co-op advisor. By then, I had some idea of what I wanted to do, so the jobs I applied for were all in the area of my interests. Apparently, my coop advisor had a more interesting view of my pros- pects, and did not agree with my choice, so without my knowledge he sent my re- sume to a couple of companies outside of my desired original radius of desire.
That, I found out when I went to my first interview. My co-op advisor, having been aware of the fact that I had not yet received any calls back from the companies I origi- nally applied for, took the initiative in his own hands and arranged an interview for me with a company of his choice. Great, some would say, but I would disagree instantly. I'm the type of person who likes to hold her own threads, whether or not they lead anywhere. I liketobetoldthatl'm not qualified for a job so I can look at myself more realistically, than be spared

Well, my sophomore idealism was sooi broken, and I accepted one of the job found by my co-op advisor. Thejob tumec out to be comfortably easy, but uncom fortably pointless. Sometime into the sec ond month of my co-op term, I managed t( recover my idealism (after all, I was sti sophomore), and took a break from the co op, going back to the Old World for month, obviously without informing my ad visor. From there on, I swore to be a know ing co-op consumer.
Middler year took me to my next co opportunity. Having heard that Northeast ern reaches abroad, offering co-op in coun tries other than the United States, and witl my previous co-op experience under trv belt, I decided to go for it. I informed m advisor that I would not need his help thi time. "Everybody thinks that they can ge these international assignments, but the' always come back to me," he said. Be the as it may, but two weeks later I knew would be packing my bags to go to Austri for six months. Luckily, it ended up bein; the most educating co-op I was to go or All the flaws intrinsic to a co-op assign ment were compensated for by the envi ronmentthis co-op was in: a new language a beautiful city, and a new culture.

FINDING U ^ ON FRIDAY NIGHT

by Max Vtiourin
It's Friday night, once again. I am at able standing in the center of the floor wil hands flying wildly through the air. I'^M! ffeo nsdich of everything and I'm holding dia log with my own self. My friend Peter is nj Ihe bar, talking to a girl, the seventh one l| twiing.^s I observe the carrousel of peop around me, I yearn only for love and a plat ^to throw up, though my yearning for lo^f don takes over.
Love, I yell to myself, Whaf aword! What]

"Why does a man need to-, buy a bed jus to get laid?"
I obviously have some idea; The learned in Poetry 101, is really a s> marriage. The rest of the quote is, well prosaic, so the basic meaning is not hare Spot. The speaker, a 23-year-old male questionablecleanlinessandunquestionaljj horniness, wants to know why women mand an investment of time and emotf before they consent to let the man strokef petals ol|he sexual.
The deeper meaning of this quote wit of its implications is much more comr. There are questions that may never b| answered. First of all, why would Pete| to forsake all the things that women h| offer just so he can satisfy some prir need? Then, how much satisfaction call

really set from an act that takes somewhere between thirty seconds and seven minutes? Finally, does Peter not know how to use his risht hand? Now, I know for a fact that Peter is well acquainted with his risht hand. In fact, his skill is known even in the farthest corners of the world. To top it off, Peter is ambidex- trous, so he even sets double the fun. That means there must be some other, less el- emental reason behind his need for sex. There, I stop for a second. I notice the music has chansed, and I have somehow ended up on one of the couches . Peter's * \ with yet another sirl. My mind is rushins. /kj-ove, I yell out loud. Well, maybe the answer can be found in yet another luote, maybe in a quote by a woman: m is not her body that he wants but it is only tnVoush her body that he can take possession of another human beins, so he must labor upon her body, he must enter her body, to make his claim."
Goins over it in my head, I'm realizins why I never liked Joyce Carol Oates, but she does make a keen observation. Maybe Peter's need to set laid is really a yearnins for possession, and what is love but the ultimate form of possession? Maybe Peter is just lookins to find somebody to love. Maybe he thinks that by penetratins the surface he may somehow l set to the soul of the woman, or maybe expose his own. Maybe he yearns
rthe same way I do, and sim- ply chooses to sive that yearn-
ins a quick fix, so it can leave him in peace for at least a while. Maybe what he wants is an immediate connection, some metaphysical key that will unlockall doors and rip away all social trappinss,- a connection that will y not require the usual accouterments f of romance: the small talk, the / A Same playing, the mistrust. m
The music seems to be ^ fl
slowing down. I'm still on the couch, and there's a couple makins out to my risht. The suy is maulins the girl's breast. Peter ,. pops out of the crowd to tell me that I will be going home by myself. I say, "It's not her body that you want." He pats me on the shoulder. Tells me I shouldn't get so wasted every time we go out. I bid him farewell and tell him to •^f havefun.Onmy >. way home, I run N intoan old friend, and we walk over to her house for coffee and all jr" the rest.

by Anne^
I am bisexual. I am bisexual because I choose to be. I chose to be rejected by everyone,- race, creed, gender, whatever. Everyone has equal opportunity to trample my heart.
WhyshouldllimitmyselftoTHATGIRL, the one that sits in every single last freakin' one of my classes. She answers every question with her hand over her mouth like she's supposed to be shy, mean- while she has a speck of glitter still left on her cheek from last night when she and her girlfriends snuck into some club up in the ally. And why is she wearing (23&
those ridiculous bell-bottomed pants? Why does she always have to limit her- self to THAT GUY when she could have me? Why does she choose instead that one, that shops exclusively at Abercrombie and Fitch and wears his baseball cap brimmed so tightly it's as though he is afraid of his peripheral vi- sion?
What is going on here? And why should I want either of them -- they're far too loud when they get hammered, the lot of them.
Perhaps then, some nice little GAY
BOY questioning his homosexuality. We' could spend a Sunday night at Avalon pop an ecstasy, blast some lines anc spend an evening dancing in a sweat1) embrace whilst his D&G cologne clog' my senses, and his boyfriend's Versace tee-shirt clings to the both of us. The ke) phrase, sadly, is "his boyfriend's Versace tee-shirt." Boyfriends are a manipulative bunch.

Why does he always come with bag- iage?Why, parked in front of my dorm in i U-haul, must there be all that gay boy's jaggage?
There is that BOY DOWN THE HALL. te's also in one of my classes. He's al- vays been too shy to say hello, but once he opportunity arises I can always ask im about the homework assignment, ^nd although he doesn't have the best )ody or the nicest smile, there is some-
xkP
thing about him, something about him that I would want to explore, things I feel I would need to find out. He lives right next to that GIRL ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM of questionable sexuality. When I walk past her room, the door is open and Jammin' spills out of her stereo, she is doing crunches on the floor, her abs glistening and sweaty. Later, I see her come into the bathroom to shower. She drops her towel as I turn away, and she smiles secretly as she steps into the steam. HE's not the greatest fuck, and I've never worked up the nerve
to speak to HER.
Where is the one person to whom I will never have to qualify myself. Where is the one person who will watch hours of Cartoon Network with me and not complain? Where is the one person who drinks Diet Coke and reads Time Maga- zinel Are they wearing glasses? Do they have long curly hair?
It should not have to be a story of sexuality, it should have to be a question of personality. Of course, I should have graduated by now as well. Good night. (23$)
NOTESFROM CLUBLAND
~Kst6ryabout nightlife
by Anne Jarek
This is a story.
This is a story of a jacket, of ridiculous inhalations and a passing grade.
This is a story about nightlife.
The jacket in question was purchased thirty some odd years ago by myfather, a gift for my mother, they have since separated, Thejacket falls to my knees in a mile of suede. The faux fur collar brushes against my cheekbones,, and the likes of which is so heavy it would smother an ordinary woman with its charac- ter. I was extremely wary of the jacket when
>o much of a statement, t| nought. Beck eets the KGB. Upon first inspection, THAT RL might wear this jacket- However, upon rther inspection of the tear in the left shoul- ix, the mothball aroma, and the missing jtton, I found comfort in its authenticity. It as this jacket then that I donned on my way Jt the YMCA, the Thursday of exam week, inter quarter 1 998.
I had crossed the Mass. Ave. bridge be- re my car heated up. Manrayls goth every her night of the week, Thursdays it goes duIous: Diesel shirts and platform shoes erywhere. Homosexual, single, underthirty, d in search of a beat, it is the only option on rhursday night. Cover is three bucks. In my :ket pocket I carried eighty three dollars. 3y boys always have the best drugs, not
n\F ®
necessarily thecheapest but always the best. A gram for forty dollars was what I was after,
half a gram for thirty, in a knotted -plastic bagsie:. contact number two. Five minutes 'after I walked in the door, I had fifty dollars in '} my pocketand a line up my nose. Ten minutes after that I had a sweaty kiss on the dance floor: with my good friend Timmy. At one-fifteen, contact number two walked in the door. Five | ■minutes after that I had a full vial, an empty | plastic baggie, another sweaty kiss with Timmy § i(this one in a bathroom stall), and sweeping I episode of panic.
My accounting professor and I never quite | ;saw eye to eye, we seemed completely un- able to land on the same page. He was speak- ing of credits, I was thinking of debits. He ^demanded homework be turned in on time, I demanded he tell us why he was such an , jasshole. I sat in 320CL and cracked catty re- -marks in a comfy chairfor two and half months. When it was over, I hadn't learned a thing about accounting. The exam, Accounting 1111, ^winter quarter, 1998, was at ten-thirty on Fri- Iday morning. I left Manrayat two o'clock Friday Fmorning, I put on the Jacket and walked thej block and a half to my pickup truck. At two-, thirty, I arrived at the Bickfords at South Bay; .plaza and ordered a stack of pancakes and a ' pot of coffee. Eight hours to go, the pancakes ^were a bad idea.
I twisted the black cap off of contact num- ber two at about three. I bumped all night as I learned about debits and credits, balance
a ii
sheets, and the like. I cracked one catty remark at five in the morning. My waitress asked if I was studying. A large notebook, a text book, a 77-55 and my panicked look didn't spell it out for her. The sun was rising as I eeked out a small "no" and asked for my check. At five- thirty I had three dollars and eighty two cents in my jacket pocket, half a gram of cocaine in a glass vial, and an upset tummy.
6:02 am. Friday.
As I was parking my truck in front of my
dorm, warm and high in my jacket, I vomited
I onto the dash of my truck. Also included in
■ my pancake's projectile reemergence trajec- \ tory was the jacket. Thejacket, the suede, the
■ faux fur collar, the tear in the left shoulder, the ' spot where the missing button would have
been were covered in coffee and imitation maple syrup. Thejacket no longer smelled of mothballs and my tummy no longer hurt.
There is something about blasting lines in a bathroom stall, down the hall from a room in which you will sit for two hours and purge everything you know into a little blue book. I There is something about having to check in I 1 with the proctor, trickles of your evening running down your jacket. There is something ! about cocaine that lets you into an exam with I no fear. There is something about a runny nose that lets you out of an exam half way through, under the pretense of tissues.
At twelve fifteen, Friday, I had no more j fear, no more cocaine, and a D

SPINNING HARD BUT IN CONTROL
On drugs at, in, and around college
by Ronegbo Sutavog, with an introduction by Max Vtiourin
Sex, drugs, rock & roll, Beer. . . Oh college, is that why I have joined thee? So goes the existential scream of every John Q. Northeasternite.
The answer, all too obvious in the after- math.of the alcohol-related student death at MIT this year, is no. Still, every Friday night, a miracle occurs as college students slowly spread around Boston, ravaging Landsdowne Street, buying latex by the pound, dragging
around kegs of beer that could keep Bavaria happy for a month and buying up substances that aren't even covered in Advanced Chem- istry. For some people, it's a weekly ritual; for others, it'sawayto forget the daily mundanity; and for others, it's a part of the ominous rite of passage.
Which one of us has not heard the chimes at 1 :55 AM? Which one of us has not cher- ished that momentarily monogamous first
kiss? Which one of us, come Monday morn ins, has not tried to forget the events of Friday night?
Somehow though, in defiance of science the collegiate weekend tends to take place ir a different plane of reality than the rest of the week. Monday may feel like the aftershock o the weekend, but little of our daily routine i actually affected.
Weekend parties, for one, exist within ;
rins of magic. Outside of the ring's confines, people may be colleagues, acquaintances or mere strangers. Inside, with the beer flowing freely and the baseball game blending seamlessly with the background techno, we
become friends. After the fifth glass of oeer, people begin to shed their skins, their shells start to crack and they morph into tipsy demi-gods. After glass number eight, souls Degin to be poured in synch with the beer.
To some, the alcohol and the drugs add a lew dimension, others it simply makes bare. Some close themselves up in an even tighter hell, and a few shed one layer too many, 'evealing the raw, unedited footage of their
hearts. All in all, the alcohol, the music, the hormones and the drugs obliterate our social immunity, sometimes making us more than we are, sometimes less than we are, but always different from the way we usually are. No wonder then, that the weekly ritual continues. College students want to change their perception of reality, want to be some- thing else, somewhere else, and alcohol and drugs often will unlock this magical door to another reality, though for only a few hours, and often with dire consequences. How- ever, for most, drugs represent the easiest way to escape the drudgery of the world and relax. It is an easy way to blind one's percep-
tion of self and extend one's perception of reality, and for many it is a way to connect to others without the usual restrictions society poses.
Of course, drugs and alcohol can only take one so far. Whichever way one's chem- istry may be slanted, it is still one's soul that loves, exists, and connects. The only way to truly transcend the mundanity of life is by working within that life and within oneself. But recreational drug use should not be shunned by society at large, for it can, with understanding and restraint, broaden one's horizons and literally multiply one's percep- tion of reality.
Sense mill
Memories of smoking are cloudy at nest. The bong hits the bottom of your ungs with glorious pains and you you're eady to cough. The hard ass cough that wrings up your asshole to your mouth, and the shit... oh what good shit... I had j friend who lived on Heminway Street. He would get this kind-bud from NYC for S550 an ounce. I would run from my slace in Roxbury to his place, and would :>e received out of breath by a spliff, jood music, and good friendship. Ev- erything seemed good on it. Every thing eemed fine, even the fuckin' 30 degrees )elow freezin' that was waiting for my toned happy face outside.
The best times were those at the Fens )n the peninsula. We would sit on a blanket, very romantic like, yet our girl vas the joint in the joint coffin. It was pring, and the flowers were out in full )loom. Weed makes the colors come )ut with more luster than gold. It lets
*k£
your mind drift away and follow the clouds and dreams on how nice itwould be to open an upscale hotel in Amsterdam. YouIM' make beautiful music, and spacej^H low ::eely from your fingers to the neck of your instru- ment, making melodies. Shading impei manent chords with other chords.
My friend would say how when he listened to Bob Mariey (The Messiah). He could feel himself being softly laid on the top of his dreaded head like a bed in the heaven of those clouds. This is weed. This is what could make the earth a better place. "If everyone would smoke a joint a day. The world would be a nicer place." I don't know who said this, maybe it was my original idea, though I surely doubt it. It's far too obvious. My favorite time, when it comes down to it, was when we had gone through ten joints in one day. We would look at each other, as the traffic lights were turning blue, and at the same time we knew. We could always get higher.
Magic in the air
I started by cutting them into small pieces and throwing them in my mouth. The taste was bitter and so I began to swallow the rest like one would medi- cine, trying not to taste it. I first noticed the effects in my eyes. I felt like some- thing wasn't right, most would get ner- vous, but knowing what was causing this uneasy feeling, I began to get excited all over. I was with my new girlfriend and we were going to experience this to- gether. It was neither mine nor her first time, but our first. We began to explore each other. The mushrooms were making the process easier and the connection stronger. We laughed at everything and anything. We were two small children in a world of make-believe. A friend on the floor was staring at a lit cigarette and was amazed, for it was becoming a flaming flower before his eyes. He became a happy child with this new toy. We were all children. We began to dance wildly
around the room. We became laughing jelly like forms, lost in the joy and forget- ting what it is that put us there.
Fungus that grows wild in the early morning on cow shit. Technically speak- ing. We were not in a field or a playhouse but a Gainsborough Street apartment with neighbors below us complaining about the heavy footsteps on their ceiling. My other roommate was not into drugs and complained that we were not letting him sleep, so the children had to quickly become young adults again. The jeal- ousy of others who did not understand (feared it, for they could not free it) or just didn't care, since they had to wake up for work or school.
Adam and Eve
It's quarter past eleven and I've been stood up. An old friend, old enough to know I won't be angry. But angry I am. It's quarter past eleven, and I'm at Avalon, and I'm by myself. Thank God I took precautions and popped an E before leaving home. Nothing yet, just expecta- tions. That little fucker probably gave me an aspirin, $30 out of the window. No, wait, there's something. Na, just the heat of the club. No, wait, wait, wait -- there's something. Definitely something. Woooooooooaw!
Definitely. Something. And check out that music. There's the beat, and the beat, and the beat. I'm a fuckin' windup toy and my spring's about to unwind. Definitely something - aspirin my ass!
Hey, Jody, I'm doing great, how are you? What is thatyou're wearing? Suede, huh? Nice! Real nice. You don't mind if I'm a little physical, do you? No? Oh, you popped one? What a coincidence... no just an hour ago, yeah, definitely some- thing, huh?
Then, at midnight, the friend arrives with an old girlfriend. It's a miracle. And there's music, and the world is a great fuckin' place, and Avalon rocks, and there's music with that beat, beat, beat. And God, do I love to dance, do I love the people around, oh hi there, you feel nice, what? oh no, you? sure. Then a long kiss and I seem to melt somewhere on her lips and my hands glide overtexture, while the beat echoes through my bones like static electricity, and all dance, and all are happy, and all love each other until the last beat drops down on the floor, exhausted like after a long night of love-making.
Sweet like susa'
"Taking acid is like being a chocolated mint". ..what7 I like what Timothy Leary said on his death bed about thejorain: "God didn't make us with a bra'pa. flat has millions of receptor sites for the govern- ment to come along and say that tfrey are illegal. That we can not tnggei these parts of the brain." This goes for all drugs, but especially for that center of the brain where the acid explosion takes place. This small point, that when injected with acid, bends everything, changes'/every- thing. Sound, space, time, light, memo-
ries are no longer in order, or maybe theJ never were. Everything has no meaning yet it makes complete sense. Rats turn into otters or maybe beavers. You feel sorrow and joy dancing through you i mind in a spinning waltz.
A friend saw God, another thought \m was God and never tripped again 'cause what else can there be? I have encoun tered my own death, gone into the black! ness of my being only to be broughl backoutbythe Flinstones, and they wer«l talking to me. Hysteria, walking through <| sea of fat people, making our way tc I Boston Harbor, and when we got there I wondering what the fuck we were doinjl there, we turned around and made oul way back to downtown Boston. Th< streets were suddenly empty on a sunn' Saturday. We came to a crossroad sun rounded by buildings on all sides, and ii the center of it was a black statue o figures intertwined, grabbing at the sky They were in pain and the madness be San in full force. We managed to find taxi driver who wouldn't leave the radii on the music we liked and drove us int< traffic at every turn. We wanted to b home and safe.
.Outside, the sensory overload doesn ■allow you to real ize the extreme trip you mind is playing. Inside the safety of yoi ciosed doors, the mind's doors begin t open up. We become psychopathic mui dierers, at least I felt like one for a spl second. "Stop talking about me! Sto fucking talking about me!" I yelled at th
top of my lungs, while one friend was in the other room lying on the floor, trying to contain the insanity. A fly flies through the window and heads towards a pro- peller fan. I thought in my mind, if that fly hit the fan, I would lose it completely. No hope of ever coming back. The fly never hit the fan, on repeated voyages towards our mutual demise. We ended up on the roof, taking pictures with the Prudential in the night sky behind us. Our smiles were huge, our happiness com- plete, for we had gone and come back 3nd had, in my opinion, grown for the oetter.
Nose candy
The romantic image that comes into nind of white lines going up my nose is lard to explain. It just is. My first experi- ence of this drug was not romantic at all, out quite disturbing. One would think :hat after such an experience, one would oe hardpressed to find any imagery that s inspiring of beauty. I was sixteen years Did, and a girlfriend of mine came by my ~iouse at about ten in the evening. She /vanted me to escort her for fear of driv- ng in the ghetto alone. So I went with ler.
The deal was quickand fairly easy. She ried it and asked me to hold it for her, so did. The next day in school, while I was n trigonometry class. I got the urge to try his powder in my pocket, so I asked to oe excused. I went to the bathroom. tolled up a dollar bill and placed it
inside the bag. With one quick inhale it was all up my nose. I was a bit stunned foi feai that it was too much. My nose burned a bit but nothing more. As I made my way back to class rmfcheart began to tace. I sat down, and about. a minute later my heart felt like it was about to explode. Half of my face began to tear and mucus streamed out my right nostril. My right side of the face felt like it was melting away. So I panicked, stumbled to my feet, and ran across the front of the class. Leaving my books, my inner nose, and my last traces of innocence in that classroom.
Drugs are funny creatures in that they can make you feel opposite extremes at the same time. They can make you into a sort of neurotic, wide eyed, melodra- matic fool who feels that he is omnipo- tent, kind of like a drunk meat head... well, better. The best is when someone who is straight observes you looking out of a crack in the blinds in paranoia, screaming at them to duck because some old lady has just walked past your place and you are sure that she is an under- cover cop coming to get you. It is sad that coke can get you in it's claw and you can never get back again, get it back, get it., back... get it... get it back... back... get it... Frank Sinatra is said to have had an inner nose made of platinum and had indulged in the substance with, of all people, Nancy Reagan... cocaine isn't really much fun anymore. Heroin anyone?
Smack my H up
"Hi. What's your name? Would you like to go get some tea, maybe dinner, mousse... the chocolate kind?" We tried it, we loved it. Too afraid to inject. But, one small line each was all it took for both of us. Then came the nervousness of knowing what we had just inhaled. We decided to go out accompanied by two sober friends. As we walked out of the bedroom door a minute after the union, waves of warmth began to spill over our bodies. By the time we reached the bench outside, it had turned to cold sweat. There's the need to speak and relay that we can hear and understand and yet find it meaningless to do so, but we're negative towards speech for it is so nice in the dream. Then came the legendary vom- iting, and how great that felt! Your body, as if programmed by the government, rejects the substance, pure joy.
We tried to convince ourselves for a week after that it was the most disgusting, most unenjoyable experience of a drug we had ever had. What the subtext of it a 1 1 was, was that we liked it more than our mothers' milk. That we found Utopia in a small brown line, but knew the consequence. That is why Utopia will never exist, because it is to much like being on heroin, and you cannot live on Heroin.
Heroin, I've decided, is a serious rela- tionship which I will commit to upon notice of a terminal disease or boredom. It is very scary but true, all the myths of how beautiful it is, at least on the inside.
OHIO GIRL IN THE BIG CITY
by Allison Perkins
I drink pop, not soda. Yes, I know how to ride a horse. And no, I've never sone cow-tippms.
Five years ago when I wandered onto Northeastern's campus, I was the little country girl, gone city. Or so everyone thought.
I'm from Ohio. And in the typical Northeastern student's mind, born and bred while teetering on the edge of America's east coast, I might as well have said I was from Siberia.
First off, no one knew where Ohio was. "How were the floods?" I was asked. "Is your house under water?"
My new-found friends were referring to the flooding of the Mississippi River that summer. I had never seen the Missis- sippi River and live closer to Canada than any state bordering the mighty waters.
"Had I ever been cowtipping?" That was the most asked question of the day. "No." I joked. "Because then you had to pick them up in the morning."
Everyone believed me, and stared with wide eyes and imagined me, pushing and shoving the black and white spotted creatures back onto their four legs.
And despite their firm belief that any- thing beyond Jersey was just empty plains, alas, I did not grow up on a farm.
Actually, I grew up in a rather large suburb, 40 minutes south of Cleveland, you know, the home of rock and roll.
But, because of family history, I'm not completely farm-ignorant. My grandfa- thers were all farmers. They grew crops and raised cattle and sheep. And I have my fair share of farm-related tall tales.
As a child, when I visited my great- grandfather, I once helped bring the eggs

in from the chicken coop. I thousht I was just the cutest thing since the Gerber baby as I nestled the little white orbs into the front of my apron and hurried back to the house. It was a trick I saw on Little House on the Prairie that morning.
Splat, splat. Two little eggs, all over the dirt driveway. One look from grandpa and I knew I was dead.
Then there was the donkey that bit my elbow, the dozen or so barn cats I tried to sneak home in my mother's car, watch- ing with glee as my brother slipped in a large pile of cow dung and my pet goat named Cocoa.
There was also the almost annual tra- dition of spending Christmas day at my grandmother's house. Inevitably, a calf would be born right before dinner, and we'd all hustle out to the barn to cheer on the mother.
"Push Apple, push!"
Guess you had to be there.
Now, wheneverthe whole family gath- ers at grandma's, much of the day is spent shooting pop cans off the fence with shotguns.
Ok, so maybe I am a smalltown girl at heart.
It never catches me off guard when someone asks, "How ya'll doing?"
I make the 1 3 hour drive home through the woods of Pennsylvania at least three times a year, accompanied by my dozen or so John, used to be Cougar, Mellancamp CDs.
When I smell the sweet mix of manure and skunk, I know I'm home.
And in my world, we add "r's" to our words, not take them out.
Eastern friends who have visited the wilds of Ohio with me were confused when my father asked if I needed to "warsh" my truck. And yes, I drive a red truck.
Ok, so dress me in overalls and call me a Walton. Country roads, take me home.
A COLLEGE ROMANCE TO BE CONTINUED
by James A. Duffy and Carrie-Anne Farrell
They met during their freshman year at Northeastern — December of 1 993. Just back from Christmas break, the couple besan dating that January. Over the sev- eral years to come, the two had their share of ups and downs: dealing with classes, co-op jobs out of state, and living with each other — as well as vari- ous assorted roommates. But, as strong individuals who were even stronger to- gether, they trudged their way through it and somehow found themselves on stage at the Fleet Center in June of 1 998.
All of their college experiences, both good and bad, seemed to be behind them. Little did they know that stepping out into the real world was actually more of a bounding leap, and that doing it while worrying about a significant other added to the adventure.
These two are currently facing their biggest challenge to date — living in different states for an uncertain amount of time. Well, one is actually in a district — the nation's capital. He's gaining in- valuable experience writing for newspa- pers (but not earning enough to pay for his dry cleaning), while she's in Manhat- tan making a great living as a marketing analyst.
His job may take him to New York as well. But it may not. Nothing is ever that easy. No, surely life would make it more interesting for the couple, more difficult. Some of the jobs best suited for him are in the Midwest, in the south, on the West Coast, he has been told. At the same time, her job is great. She thinks she may be able to move to a regional office within the company, one closer to his eventual job — but is that a wise move so
soon into her tenure?
In retrospect, it's amusing how nothing can prepare students for what is to come after graduation. They walk down the aisle donning caps and gowns, accepting their diplomas, thinking they are ready for any-
thing. And some are. But those people must be in the minority. For the larger por- tion of the former student body, reality sets in about six months after commencement Bills begin to pile up, SallieMae starts knock- ing and then it hits them: They are full-

fledsed adults.
Regardins the couple above — sepa- rated admittedly only by the Delta Shuttle and a couple hundred dollars — they thought they could handle the time apart. They had done the "living apart" thing be-
fore. That had been a definite benefit of co-op: getting used to full-time working, making a steady paycheck, dealing with a strained relationship. And they couldn't blow off work they way they sometimes blew off class.
What would another few months apart after graduation mean to the relationship? Well, they would soon realize how much it could hurt.
Having one person by their side for al- most five years — through the time in their lives when they did the most growing up — they had become attached. Okay, they fell in love,- a love they felt nothing could tarnish. But 500 miles can do a lot.
Stuck in different cities with different lives and different jobs, the two don't have the option of sharing stories at the end of the day. Long-distance calling is a wonder- ful thing, but it's costly.
Looking back, going on to do their own thing after graduation was best for both of them. And it should have been, that's what their mom's had told them. At the time, the young couple had agreed, but with appre- hension. It turned out to be more painful than they could have imagined.
If someone had asked them where they would be six months after graduation, they wouldn't have guessed they'd be alone, hundreds of miles apart. But luckily, the relationship is strong enough to withstand the distance.
Going on five years in January of 1999, the two face their hardest, real challenge of all: trying to plan the rest of their lives tomorrow, in different states today. But the problem is they don't know when "tomor- row" will be.
With everyday that passes, they feel a stronger bond between them. They know their love will continue for another five years, and another five after that. It will go on and on until they are old and gray. But by then, hopefully they will have found their way into the zip code.
Carrie-Anne Farrell is a former captain of the women's varsity swimming team. James A. Duffy is former editor-i n-chief of The Northeast- ern News. Both are 1998 graduates of North- eastern University, who spend too much on stamps and their phone bills.
NOSTALGIA FOR THE STARRY DYNAMO
by Max Vtiourin
Max V. (clearly, a pseudonym) leads one happy life! He has a number of aspirations, one big dream, several small, though no less important desires, a few friends, many ac- quaintances, a couple of people he says hello to but quietly loves, one person he loves and lives with, and a: diary he keeps virgin as a sign of continuous hope. He is also the proud owner of two toasters, one veteran VCR/one
musically impaired stereo, 137scratchec CDs and a stack of books. In other words, he is a certified modern man — witf modern, solidly nebulous, sickly gree goals, a QPA, an'impending B.A., a po-| tential M.'^qnd a modern, regular heart] beat. Could he^a^y better off? n- ' ably not.
Still, every oqce in a while, and at times as often as every day, he has trouble going to sleep, and five turbulent sleep cycles later, has trouble waking up. He sits up in his bed, dully looking, at a wall, watching the outside caress his skin with its shadows. He is melancholy. His sou is filled with nostalgia. His heart ache;
with an overflowins void. He feels as thoush something vital is missing from his life, and from his past, and he trembles frantically, searching for it everywhere, in vain. He rushes forward, remembering something, then pulls back, realizing it's not something he can reach. Thus, he continues on this solitary run, yearning for the unreachable.
On days of vivid clairvoyance, he no- nces the insipid nature of his depres- sions, and wonders where they come Tom. On such days, he paces around his apartment like a caged animal, puffing oudly — pondering. Every once in a while, inspiration hits him with cleans- ng, though cold perspiration. On such occasions, he bursts into laughter, and jrabs the proverbial light bulb, parading t around town. I've got it, he proclaims, know why I am filled with pain! The link between me and the "ancient heavenly onnection" has been broken. I used to )e me, now I'm just a container of cul- ural confetti, a tiny terminal in the infi- ite chain of mass communication, a ece in a puzzle so immense that its sappearance goes unnoticed, like that f a dead pixel on the high resolution nonitor of a CNN newsroom.
am permeated with cultural heritage, e screams. My veins have been replaced •ith fiber-optics. My idiosyncrasies have terary allusions attached to them. My lost phenomenal revelations have been istinctly labeled and categorized for ie by three thousand years of philo- ophical thought. My most genuine ex- ressions of love have been packaged in on-biodegradable celluloid and mim- :ked by people whose bodies contain lore silicon than water. I do not know /here to turn and not be hit with a uzzword, a label, a category, a quota- on or an ism. I am followed by the lenacing shadow of the silver screen
■xfeP
wherever I go. I am a walking allusion, and a talking reference. I can trace my girlfriend's name back to the Bible, and God, while all I really want to do is trace itbacktome, and maybe find God within the taste of her skin.
What good can yearning bring to me, he howls, if I can tell a Bruce Willis smile in a sea of faces, but cannot remember my own without a mirror? What good can yearning bring me if I cannot even do it on my own terms? I've been stuffed with hundreds and thousands of years of civi- lization, and I cannot find myself within this dense mess that some very lucky people proudly call heritage. I live in a world in which the "starry dynamo" has been spelled out in white letters on green paper, and I have no means of burning for it without first burning its modern conception.
When I reach out and yearn for the unattainable, he hollers, I want to do so with no interference from theme songs and sitcom background laughter. When I look into the future, I want to see me within me, not me within the world, with all its fat-free radio waves, its 99 cent burgers, its superstars, its scandals and its nod-nod-sigh conversations.
There, he usually implodes, becomes silent and goes back to his apartment, distributing regrets and apologies. It is on such days that he goes to sleep with an irregular heartbeat, sweaty hands and a decisive smile of hope firmly imprinted on his face.
The next day, he feels just fine, goes around his business, functions accord- ing to all standards and specifications, and persuades himself that no puzzle, no matter how large, can exist without all of its pieces. Still, every once in a while, and at times as often as every day, he has trouble going to sleep, and then he wakes up.
ONCE UPON A TIME, A Qj
A day in the life of a student in
In 1971, The Northeastern News published a column by John Philip Mello entitled "A Day In the Life of... ." The column was thought to be so controversial by university administration that President Knowles was moved to order the establishment of a', student publications committee, the precursor of today's Media Board. Some members of the faculty and administration even) suggested abolishing The News and expelling the editors respon- sible for putting Mello's column in the newspaper.
A day in the life of~*
by John Mello
"Class of 1976, we welcome youl As President of the University! would like to wish you luck in your pursuit at Northeast- ern - the aquistion of knowledge..."
I'm here! The draft can't get me for five years!
Men's residence? Shit house. That's what it is. Why did I let my parents talk me into going to college anyway?
1 1 9 Hemenway Street. This is it. Five years and I'll be ready to make a fortune. A diploma's as good as gold. Fare? I've got some change in my pocket somewhere. Cheesus, after I graduate and I'm rollin' in sweet green I won't have to worry about exact fares to cab drivers. What do you mean tip? Get an education. Oh, you've already graduated from Northeastern.
" You 're embarking on a new experience (thinking?), an expe- rience that will mature your mind and develop your body. . . "
I'm pregnant, mom. Again?
I think I've got the clap. Why? It hurts. Go to the health service. But I hear their amputation crazy.
I don't know. What's ther to know,- you got bladder trouble?. No, but this is a dirty trick. What dirt; this is the way I cured myacnei problem. Why dodn't we tell him before we do it? If someone] told you, would you believe it; and besides, the secrecy is part of j the cure. I don't know. Piss, damn you, piss! Alright, but I still say we should tell him before we put the urine in his Phisohex.
Hello? Speare Hall? This is an obscene phone call: Richard M Nixon.
Counselor,- everyone act like he's stepping,- into bed quick. Lights turned off. Darkness. Foot falls. Louder. LOUDER. The foot falls stop. Start again. Fade. He's gone. Yeah, now who was the motherfucker that coated my sheets with menthol shaving cream';
My God! Someone's exposing himself in that dorm across the street. Easy, Mabel, they probably had knockwust for lunch again

UARTER CENTURY AGO...
1971, and what it means to us
The column is featured here in its entirety, together with photographs from the early 1970's. Nothing similar to Mello's piece has appeared in The News since the late 60's and early 70's. It will be interesting to find out if you, the contemporary reader, will find the column's theme or language inappropriate or contro- versial. It may be, that our society has actually become more repressed, more conservative since the days our teachers were in college. See for yourself.
"...not an easy road you're about to embark on. It's a road crowded with intellectual peril and scholastic temptation and lined with the sweat of study..."
Isn't it hot in here with all those clothes on, Marcia? No, John. NAarcia. Yes, John. Marcia, John. Marcia. OH JOHN! Smack, smack, smooch, smooch, grope, grope. Marcia, I love you. John, I love /ou. Let's ball. JOHN! Marcia, I. ..I'm so sweaty.
Don't touch that John; please, not that either. You want me to <eep my hands in my pockets? Please, John. Why? It feels good. Vtore embracing, caressing and stuff like that. John, pull my jeans oack up. Come on, Marcia. I'll get oregnant. No, I've got. ..one of those things. You mean a rubber? Marcia! Well, what were you poing with that; I mean what kind of girl.. ..Marcia, I'm sorry,- 1 didn't ■nean...oh...gafaw...l'll throw it away this instant. Wait, let's not be lasty about this.
". . . if you stick to the path, if you remain steadfast, then you will drink from the cup of higher education, and be drunk with knowledge..."
Gimme another toke, man. Sure, here, far out grass, huh? Yeah choke! choke!), far out (choke, choke!). Man, I'm really stoned, /ou know, farfuckin' out. I'm not sure,- it's my first time. Well, take t from me,- this is good stuff,- another toke? No thanks, I'm not fell in' :oo good. Come on,- Joe won't mind; he told us anytime we vanted to try his stuff to go ahead. Well.

OP-ED: ON STUDENT LIFE IN THE NEWS
Columns and editorials on student issues
ED FROM THE NORTHEASTERN NEWS
^^ptefrtxrtl, 1997 All Hail: Living in Oblivion
by Jeffrey Sadowski
From the second they set foot on campus these freshmen have absolutely had me on the floor laughins. This is no fault of their own, mind you. They just know absolutely nothing. Of course, I have sampled this as first hand as you can get, by having the privilege and utter horror of being an RA in Stetson West fa these first side-splitting days.
You never realize how much Northeastern, Boston and real life saw/ you actually have as upperclassmen until you are confronted with questions like the ones I am now confronted with on a daily basis. Try these on for size "Dude, let'sjustsay I wanted to flunk the English placement exam. Where would I get placed?" or "Do they like, make us eat all the meals on our meal plan?" or "Is mandatory kinda like statutory?" or "How come we don't have any chicks on our floor?" or "I can't find Mass. Ave., is it near here?" a "Dukakis? Wasn't he mad into the political scene when I was like, 1 0?" or "Bro, where can I score some really kick-ass CDs? Like, I real!/ need some." or "I heard there's one day where you can smoke a ton of grass and the cops just look at you and laugh. Tell me that's true, man."
You honest!/ couldn't make up stuff funnier than this. The breed known as freshmen have a specific ritualistic pattern of behavior they dare not stray from. They can be identified from long distances by the bnght red shoelaces that hang from their necks, holding the keys to their 3x3-foot bedrooms. In packs of 6 to 20, they shuffle with an awestruck expression through campus as if they are just waiting for a flying object to hit them nght between the eyes. The girls wear way too much makeup down to dinner. The men douse themseh/es in a bath of cheezy cologne in order to impress those same girls in the salad bar line. They lurk on the front steps of their residence halls pondering where exactly the parties are as if it is some sort of cosmic phenomenon. When they do get to the party they wonder why the keg was kicked as scon as 500 of them showed up.
If you take a step back for a second and venture back into your earlieryears here at this fine institution, you tell yourself that there is no way you were really that much of a dork. But the brutal truth is there really is no way to know if you werejust like them at one point. I'm not real sure if that means we therefore have some obligation to be patient with them or not. Nah, let's laugh. At least for the first couple of weeks.

All Hail: Wonder co-op to the resque
by Jill LeGrow
"It's a bird, it's a plane ... it's SUPER INTERN!!!!! Able to perform small miracles on office computers and photocopi-
ers, there's nothing this incredible co-op won't be called upon to do."
That's how I feel some days when I am at work, running all over the office to fix printers and fax machines while frazzled executives stare blankly at the machines, wondering why they won't work. I realize that the coop is pretty much the lowest on the scale in the workplace, and I have come to accept it. What irks me, though, is how the people in command often seem to have lessofaclueastowhat is going on than Ida They really don't know what I do all day, except that I sit at my desk looking busy. In fact, I am writing this at work in order to look occupied in between coming to the rescue of helpless editors. So technically, they are paying me to write something that has nothing to do with my actual job. Hey, I figure, it makes up for some of the stupid things I have to endure at work.
Is there some sort of unwritten rule in all company hand- books that the intern is the only one who is allowed to know howto work the various machines in the office9 God forbid the other "real employees" learn the ways so they can stop wasting time harassing the interns. I am beginning to think that I am the only one whose arms aren't broken because even when I leave a ream of paper next to the printer in case it runs out, I end up refilling it. Not that I am bitter or anything. The lack of sleep is deprMng oxygen to my brain. Whatever positive thoughts I start out the day with are instantly erased when I step on the crowded commuter rail bright and early at 7:15 a.m. Obnox- ious people talk on their cell phones as if they want the whole train to hear, while I desperately trytocatch a few more minutes of rest. Some of us are trying to sleep here!!!!
But back to my job. I really do like it, honestly. The people are cool, the pay is great, and I have even had the opportunity to get some things published. What more could I ask for? For starters, maybe people could learn how to use the photo- copier. Being part of a generation weaned on Nintendo, cable television and the Internet, they seem to assume I am the resident expert on how to fix the numerous problems with the machines. I am one of the most technologically impaired people of my age group; it's such an embarrassment. How- ever, on the first day when I was handed a bunch of things to fax and I had never used a fax machine before, I learned quickly.
I assumed that everyone else in the office would have learned by now as well, since they have been there for years and I was just starting on my first week. I was so wrong. I'd overlook it, though, if this phenomenon were only limited to the fax machine. My absolute favorite is when someone is using the photocopier and it suddenly stops copying. They look at it blankly, press a few buttons and come running to me. "Jill, the copier won't work and I don't know why." So when I go over to investigate, I usually discover that the "paper jam" signal is flashing. According to my genius-level conclusions based on the obvious, I would have to guess that maybe (gasp) there's
paper stuck in the machine!!! Damn, I'm good. And the sac thing is, these people are supposed to be smart. It scares m< to think that they have senous power in this place.
I guess the reason why co-op bothers me so much is tha I have seen what the real world is like, and I don't like it. Thanks but I will take MTVs version of "The Real World" over it any da! — free rent, the freedom to do as I please — I think I coulci handle it. Now if you'll excuse me, the printer is making strangt noises and the copy editor is spewing obscenities at the fas machine. Duty calls.

All Hail: Two is company
by Kate Arsenault
When Gretchen first saw the name on her dreaded room mate housing form, she wasn't happy. "Her name is Kathryn Oh no. I know I'm not gonna like her." That was Gretchen's firs impression of me, based only ont he fact that there was a gir she once hated whose name happened to be Kathryn.
When I receded my forms, I wasn't sure what to think, didn't know where Brockton (her hometown) was, a what f was like - small or big, rural or suburban. One of my friends a home, Phil, was original!/ from Brockton, so I asked him abou it. 'When I was little, my five-year-old next-door neighbo bumed his house down while smoking a cigarette," he said 'We moved short!/ after that."
Great. What if Gretchen had been his neighbor? What i Gretchen was lifelong friends with the pyro? Now I had 3 own first impression. The two of us had never spoken, hac never laid eyes on each other, yet we werealready freaking out
I decided to make the first move and give her a call. I leftf message saying, "Hi this is Kate, your soon-to-be roommate Just gwe me a call." Gretchen jumped for joy at hearing the name "Kate" and not "Kathryn" on her answering machine. I was relieved when she told me that she had asthma, didn't smoke and had never lived next-door to Phil. Things were going to be okay. Sort of.
The year began fine. We were getting along, and we were making friends, but different friends. Maybe things wen' downhill from there. We stopped eating meals togethe (when you are a freshman, sitting with someone in the cafeterk proves friendship) and even stopped talking in the mornings or after classes. It became silent. I was unhappy because wanted us to be great friends, not just cordial roommates. I didn't help that Gretchen didn't like my group of friends, anc they weren't too fond of her either. Things went on like this fa a little bit until the shit hit the fan in late November.
We had a big blowout over something that isn't worth going into (it was my fault for the most part) and we stoppec associating altogether. By Christmastime I was so upset I wa; going to move if things didn't change by the beginning o wnter quarter. I assumed she hated me. When we both came back from vacation, I was psyching myself up to have conversation with Gretchen about us trying to be civil. I jus wanted to make it through the year.
That conversation never happened. The day we came back we both looked at ourtiny room and decided to change it. We broke out the screwdrivers and tore up everything. We

<vere laughing, joking and talking about our vacations. My RA :ame in to see what all the noise was, and Gretchen said, leave us alone, we're bonding!"
Before vacation the two of us had been making plans to I ive /vith others, but those plans fell through. My "friends" decided :o tell me they were so sorry, but they didn't think we would jet along and that the/didn't want me to live with them. I think hey were right. That was when Gretchen and I decided to go spartmenthunting. Wewent off campus, and nowhavea lease signed for September. It made so much moresensetolwewth he person who already knew all of my habits and quirks than
0 have to leam the habits of three new people.
Fa months, neither of us had taken the time to really get to row each other. We were trying to fit in with other people vhen we were akvays the ones who were made for each )ther. She has been there for me when I have had boyfriend roubles, when I have been sick (from food poisoning or well, )therwise) a when I had to go shopping and needed an tonest opinion (which she always gives).
I wouldn't trade these past few months for anything. The ttle stuff that we do, like watching "All In The Family" every night. The stupid stuff that we say, like when Gretchen sat up
1 i bed one night and blurted out that her grandmother has a nicrowave she can give us. Then there's the funny stuff that has appened , like the man next to us at the movie theater who nad some gas problems throughout "Good Will Hunting." Gretchen went home on Good Friday. That night I came in early p find the phone nnging. It was Gretchen. "I am bored, so I rought I would call and say hi." We stayed on the phone for bur hours just chatting and talking about next year. Toward the tnd of the conversation Gretchen asked me why the hell we were on the phone for so long, seeing that we lived together. said it was because we are friends.

iolumn: Service with a scowl
>y Chris Doscher
If you've never stood behind a counter, entered a stock- Dom, worked for slave wages or had a job where you weren 't rating in a nice, comfy, air-conditioned office, looking up Occasionally from your magazine to answer the phone, stop eadmg now. You won't be able to relate to what I 'm about to
DISCUSS.
It's something that has been pushed back into the confines I teen memories for most of us. But for many others, it's a ; ightmare that gets closer as the weather warms and the days iet longer. Knowwhat I'm talking about7 For $5 an hour, I'll give ou a hint. Oh yes, it's the character-building world of summer mployment. The 55-hour-a-week grind. The sore back from andmg behind a register for seven hours without a break. The gly uniforms. The body fluid clean up. The endless hours of : loronic questions from customers who are definitely NOT Iways right.
Cashiers, burger-flippers, toilet cleaners, waitresses, dish- /ashers, hostesses; whatever the job, they share a special ond. We're the ones who take the Store24 cashier's side /hen that scrawny, 40-year-old runt in the "1 -800-Buzz-Off" T- lirt threatens to take his business elsewhere. We're the ones
eJe0
who smirk and mutter, "Asshole," when someone complains about the service in McDonald's, the ones who exchange knowng glances with the waitress when we hear complaints of "This is Coke. I ordered Pepsi! Yeah, I know I drank it, but I want a refund!"
I worked as a cashier in an amusement park for five years. I'll admit, the pay($4.50 an hour)was crap, but thereare worse jobs. Still, I now know what it's like to be screamed at for shortchanging someone byanickel. I know howtosmilewhen a Flondian shares a tale about her brother shooting a rattlesnake (Like I gave a damn). Put me behind a register, and I can answer the fol lowing question in a heartbeat: "Do you have those, you know, things?"
The customer is always right? WRONG! Attention shop- pers: HerearejustafewofthethingsyouVe been wrong about over the years, mixed in with some of my own bitterness toward summer shoppers and idiot tourists.
1. We're not swayed when you cap off an hour-long argument by screaming "I'll never come in here again!" In fact, after listening to you bitch and moan about the price of an $8 T-shirt, despite being told repeatedly that the competitor's coupon is not valid (not to mention expired), you saying we'll never have to see you again gves us a feeling comparable to finishing the Boston Marathon. Never seeing you again was our goal from the start of the argument.
2. No matter how fast you move away from the shelf after knocking down that crystal statue, we stillknowitwasyou.And we don't appreciate you coming up to us and saying "Oh, this fell." Don't insult our intelligence. Just say "I knocked this off the wall because I'm a clumsy jackass." Honesty is always appre- ciated.
3. All fast food tastes thesame, and most of it is bad foryou. So please, don't bring backyour $4.39 value meal complaining about the taste. You know why it tastes bad7 Because the meat was cut from unspeakable parts of a sickly, underweight horse, and the whole meal was deep fried in rancid lard.
4. If the manager isn't around, don't ask us to match a price. We're working for pennies, and we don't care if you buy the product someplace else. In fact, don't ask us ANYTHING if the manager isn't around. Just let us relax with our thoughts. We're not working on commission.
5. If you fussed about something silly, I can guarantee that we spent the rest of the day making fun of you. Even if your complaint was legit, and we knew it was legit, we still laughed atyou, because youjust paid $22foratrmket that couldn't have been worth more than $1 .50, or you just ate some food that even those starving kids in China would reject.
6. We can close the store/restaurant at the scheduled time, and we don't care ifyou're still shonpmg/eating. Don't pretend like you don't notice the grates being lowered or the lights being turned off. Nothing personal, but we've been there all day, so would you mind getting the hell out7
Finally, no matter howbnght our smiles, how much on-the- job energy we demonstrate, how helpful we are, not one of us is there out of a motivation to serve the customers. We're there either because we need the money or we're really, really bored. To freshmen heading home to that old summer job: Keep your chin up. Co-op is right around the comer.

Column: All the colors of the rainbow
by Max Vtiourin
I am a white male. I am also Russian. Now, what of that?
Four years ago, while I was on my first transatlantic flight to New York City, I considered myself merely human. Eight years ago, while going to school in Moscow, I considered myself a Moscovite, and still human. Sixteen years ago, I pissed in my pants, and couldn't care less about who or what I was as long as the sun was shining - 1 was truly human.
Today, I am a foreign, white male. I am a Homo sapien historicus. In addition to basic humanity, I posses cola, race and creed. I am a walking side-effect of the American body politic. When I encountera stranger, I no longer have the ability to say: "My name's Max, wanna play?" Instead, I ponder and evaluate. I let my liberalism battle with my reflexes. I begin to think in post-modern newspeak. I let my instincts be drowned by 1 1th-grade American History.
I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, after thoroughly digesting my Eurocentricity, my chauvinism and my passve racism, I have learned to respect and accept ethnicity as an intrinsic aspect of what we, as individuals, are, and I am strongly opposed to ethnic homogeneity. I have accepted the fact that there is black and there is white. I shudder at the thought of a Burger King in downtown Tokyo. On the other hand, I cannot bare the thought that a person can be categorized by his skin color, his language or the slant of his eyes. On one hand, I want to be aware of ethnicity. On the other hand, I don't want it to prevent me from seeing a person for what he is as an individual.
Asaforeigner, I hate itwhen people disregard my heritage, but I hate it just as much when my intelligence is doubted because of my accent. I want to be treated as an equal, but I also want to be given credit for who I am, and I ike everybody else, I want to fit in. When I came to this country in 1993, 1 expected to immerse myself into a big melting pot, a real-life Barney land. I imagined myself surrounded by all the colors of the rainbow, free to interact wthout having to give notice to race. Needless to say, that didn't quite happen. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I became white and I became faeign. After four years of Zelig-like attempts at integration, I am still simply white and foreign.
You'd be surprised how long it takes seemingly intelligent people to accept my heritage, let go of it and move on. One theater professor I know sti 1 1 attempts to speak to me in broken Russian. The same professor once suggested I direct Chechov instead of Neil Simon, citing the "fact" that Russians are a dark and somber people. At least twice a week some suburban creature asks me if I drink vodka before coming to class. None of these people mean harm. In fact, in their own way, they are being open-minded. Still, they make it difficult to fit in.
The question of race stands, and it probably will fa hundreds of years. Fathe time being, lamawhite Russian male. Now, what of that7

OOKING AHEAD: ROADS, TUNNELS, & LIGHT
On dreams, plans, fantasies, and mediocrity
m*ww£m*m Km $z nrmw, mrp* ?rw?m -itf^^w ; '-v \l m rrrmmw**^ rc rT^r^ ^^B
Back in January, with graduation in be written with regard to a number of the different dreams some of my gradu-
the distant future, I planned this article facts established during the four months ating friends held about their future, their
as a set of ruminations on what life after that have passed since graduation. Faced ideas of what life is about, their hopes
college might be like. Because of the with the now, I can no longer compare for themselves. Today, with November
late delivery date for this yearbook, graduates' dreams and ideals, as origi- approaching rapidly, I can no longer
the article now has to nally intended, but must instead con- speak of dreams — my friends tell me
trast realities. they've matured, and the word is nc
I originally hoped to talk about longer part of their vocabulary. Instead
of dreams, they now speak of fantasies; ,-> as things impossible to reach but nice tc
hold dear, and plans, as
things possible and often inevitable, though not as beautiful.
One, for instance, has abandoned his dream of living his life "on the road" after finding out that the road can be rocky, and that money is hardly ever found sim- ply lying there. He still has a fantasy of sorts, to maybe one day, when he's well equipped for travel and with a home- base to go back to, continue the journey hesosuddenlyabandoned. He nowalso has a plan: to finally move into his own place, find a job, make money.
Another friend, after diving into the world of art, has surfaced with less than a smile, and few treasures to speak of. He's disillusioned. He's found neither fame nor glamour, just another twenty thousand souls trying to be the next pearl, and while he's not the one to quit right away, he now has plans to continue his education in a more solid field, find a job, and make money. He still holds the arts dear, and says he's learned much about himself and the world, but simply cannot
devote his entire self to something so abstract and so perilous.
The other one used to dream of work- ing for herself, doing something of per- sonal interest and universal excitement. But, like many Northeastern graduates, she's a foreign student, and had to find a way to legally stay in this country. She was lucky, she found a well-paying job that will guarantee her a working visa, and eventually a "green card." She's in the middle of a well-working plan. Now, while punching in code from nine to five, she can quietly fanaticize about what it would be like to live in a studio with twenty-four hours a day for herself and a set of paintbrushes.
That, I guess, is how life gets us all. With details and mundane though life- threatening actualities, it hammers us into letting go of our dreams and accepting mediocrity. I've fallen victim to it my- self lately, as my dreams
of high-pitched fame are receding into the realm of fantasy, and my stomach, my cock, and my pocket are taking the helm of my ambitions. It is as though nature never intended us foranything but medi- ocrity.
Fortunately, most people are either content with this fact or are blind to it. The dreams of these people come pack- aged to fit the mold of reality. These are the happiest members of our species, for they do what they want to be doing, and dream of things that, with a modi- cum of grudge-work, can become real- ity. Then, of course, there are those who push away the whole world, and persist in their attempts to reach their dreams. I hope my friends and I will one day do that. Then, we'll be able to breakthrough mediocrity and unfold into ourselves.

At the end of five years of anything, what's there to do but celebrate? This section is a celebration of sorts. Those who've made it and were proud enough of it are featured in these pages. The rest, namely the 600+ students who did not make our photo sessions, can be found in the Senior Index on p. 392, alas in name only.
We hope you will enjoy browsing through this section. The photographs contained herein are not in any way representative of their sub- jects - the photography company we employ tends to make people look old and Republican. Still, the camera always manages to capture the inexplicable something in us, even when we're told to smile until our face muscles hurt, so look closely.
If you become a celebrity twenty years from now, you will deeply regret your presence on these pages. The tabloids will buy the few remaining copies of this volume, and your face will appear on the newsstands of every super- market in America. The evil geeks that lurk in the bowels of the Internet will stick different bod- ies to your suffering mug, and countless under- age children will download the new and im- proved you to their desktops. You will be fea- tured on numerous CBS specials titled "The World's Most Embarrassing Celebrity Pictures." Northeastern University will raise $20,000,000 in endowments by using your mug in their mar- keting letters. Your life will become hell, and you will travel the world in vain attempts to burn all remaining '98 Cauldrons. So, let us hope that you will not reach any significant acclaim, and will be able to leaf through this section for years and years to come. Enjoy.

'98 Senior Survey
•Some of the best classes at Northeast- ern, as voted by the Class of '98, w Criminal Homicide with Jack L Wellness, Biopharmaceuticals, and Therapeutics.
•Some of the worst classes at Northeast- ern, as voted by the Class of '98, were: Middler Year Writing, Interpersonal Skills, Statistics, Pharmacology, Microeconomics, and Physics.
•The lowest GPA held by a '98 senior was 0.333. The average low-point was around 8.7.
•On the average, '98 graduates have visited the NU Financial Aid Office 1 3 times over the course of their tenure at the university. One unlucky student claims he's been to the Financial Aid Office 7,100 times. The average visit took 27 minutes. The longest visit, ac- cording to one student, took 5 hours.
•We all remember our first one night stand, don't we? Well, ' whatever, but according to our survey, '98 graduates have had around 1 .6 one nighters since they entered NU in 1993. One indi- vidual (male, of course)-reached for the stars - 30 one-nighters ! Now, here's a person who's ready for commitment.
•On the average, '98 seniors have changed their majors 1 .2 times. Nobody has changed majors more than 5 times. Where is the angst? we ask.

•79% of the '98 senior
with their original rnajo; 21% must have transfers
•Graduating seniors have earned (on the average) 0.44 T grades while at Northeastern. One brave soul managed to accumulate 1 5 "incompletes." Way to go!
•4% of the graduating seniors have changed their sexual orientation while at Northeastern. Hey, way to go !
•The worst dorms to live in, as reported by the Glass of '98 were Stetson West, Stetson East, Smith Hall, and Speare Hall.
•One the average. Glass of '98 graduates have frequented Our House East at least 30 times over the last five years. Some claim to have been in ORE at least a 1 ,000,000 times, but we all know it was just one long weekend.
•A good third (34%) of the graduating class has found its Mr ./Ms. Right ax Northeastern. One lucky student found 30 Ms. Rights (again - male). One the average, students were satisfied with 1 .2 perfect partners.
•Sex was... ahem... performed 7.1 times a month by '98 graduates. One very virile being claims to have engaged in it 50 times a month. Viagra?

Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things you didn't do

So, throw off the bowlines.

*98 Senior Survey
•Memory loss after a Friday night, was experienced 5.9 times by the clas '98. We didn't even dare to researci i rest of the weekend.
•The Glass of '98 had the pleasure of holding (on the average) 1.8 part time jobs during hard times. One student had to work five part time jobs at one point in his school career. That's the price of an education that works.
•The highest paying Go-op held by the Glass of '98 paid $21 /hour. The average gh-end Co-op paid a little over $11/ ir. The lowest paying Co-op earned the class of '98 $6/hour, while the aver- age low-end Go-op earned a little over $8/hour.
•Some of the well paying Go-op assign- ments of the graduating class were at Gillette, New England Medical Center, and Kraft. The not so well paying Go-op assignments were at The Beacon Com- panies, HCHP, GVS, BWH, and the New England Baptist Hospital.
•Some of the worst Co-op assignments of the graduating class were at the New England Baptist Hospital ("what a back- wards place"), UPS ("enough said"), Sig- net Laboratories ("boring, long com- mute"), and CVS ("one phrase: Friday night").

GRADUATION 1998, FLEET CENTER, BOSTON
Nadine Hyacinthe has a job lined up as a records coordinator at Boston Uni- versity. Rebecca Pomfret will stay at Northeastern University for sraduate school. Andrew Tavernia is going home to Florida to "sit on the beach" before returning to Boston to find a job.
These three recent NU graduates may be taking different paths, but they'll all miss the same aspect of college life: their friends. "I know that I'm going to miss everyone in my classes," said Pomfret, who received a bachelor of sci- ence in physical therapy. "There are only 30 of us staying [for graduate school ] out of 119."
About 3,000 students graduated from Northeastern June 20 in separate morn- ing and afternoon ceremonies at the FleetCenter. At the morning commence- ment, Nobel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev was greeted by a standing ovation as he approached the podium.
Gorbachev urged graduates to remem- ber the lessons of the 20th century, an era that began with promise and, in- stead, saw the world erupt in two great wars. "As the 20th century was begin- ning, people thought that the 20th cen- tury would be a golden age," Gorbachev said through a translator. "But it turned out to be very difficult. We must learn the lessons of this century that is about to end."
He reminisced about the day he gradu-
by Christine Walsh
ated from law school and the decision he and his wife made to leave Moscow and work in the provinces. "The day I graduated I had no idea, not an inkling, that I would be called upon to be a leader ... and I would have to initiate great changes in my country and the world," he said. Gorbachev, leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991, is widely credited for helping to end the Cold War. "Our career turned out to be not an easy one," he said of him and his wife, Raisa. "Life tested us many times, and we did our best to overcome the obstacles and problems along the way." Gorbachev touched on the issue of communism — an "imposed Utopia for which the Russian people paid a great price" — and warned against enforcing it on other countries. "This is not the way to go because this can only create con- flict," he said. "This could be a very dif- ficult and testing thing for the entire world." Gorbachev reminded graduates — most of whom entered NU at the end of the Cold War — about their responsi- bility as future leaders of the next cen- tury. "The most important thing to under- stand is what we should do to make the 21st century a peaceful, prosperous cen- tury," he said. He also offered advice: "You should learn how to meet both success and failure with dignity. Some- times success tests a person even more than failure."
Student speaker Aimee Martin, a chemical engineering major, told her classmates to "succeed by making a dif- ference." "The power to change this world is within our grasp," she said. "All we have to do is reach." Martin said it's more important to make small changes. "In order to succeed, all we have to do is make a difference in the life of one per- son," she said. "We can all be a hero to someone."
The following received honorary doc- torate degrees at the morning com- mencement: Mikhail Gorbachev, interna- tional affairs; Spelman College President Johnnetta Cole, public service,- NU's chairman of the Board of Trustees and CEO of USTrust Neal Finnegan, commer- cial science,- Raisa Gorbachev, social sci- ence,- Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, music,- and Harvard University professor emeritus David Riesman, so- cial thought. At the afternoon ceremony, Texas Governor Ann Richards addressed more than 1,400 graduate and part-time degree recipients. She received an hon- orary doctorate of public service.
Also accepting honorary degrees in the afternoon were: NU trustee George Behrakis, health science,- Chairman of President Clinton's National Advisory Board on Race John Franklin, humane letters,- and Habitat for Humanity co- founders Linda and Millard Fuller, public service.

bailed out at the last moment.
Thank you for the support,

This space was intended for
Northeastern Magazine.
However, Rickey Ezrin, the magazine's
Director of Advertising,
didn't return a single phone call in over two years,
which leads us to believe Norheastern Magazine

Too bad.

Disclaimers This Glossary is intended for educa- tional purposes only. Do not do this at home, and always wear protection. Children under 3 should exer- cise caution. Do not operate a motor vehicle while reading . Some side effects have been reported, so beware. This Glossary does not reflect the true nature of the language spoken at Northeastern. If you are offended, please change the channel. Always slap the other cheek. He who does not like humor shall die dry and old. Northeastern University does not approve of the use of drugs, however, the Editors do, so bear with it. Any references to living people are purely coinci- dental (right!). We Love NU. (repeat 57 times, then breath deeply, soon you will faint) When the last person to laugh has stopped, what is there to do? If an NU term is spoken in the forest, and there's nobody to hear it, does it still make sense? When you hear the sound of silence, shut up and listen. Parents should not be exposed to this Glossary without the permission of a doctor. Republicans should take special care while reading this Glossary.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And vaster some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it was not a disaster.

Was I sleeping, while the others suffered? Am I sleeping now? To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day? That with Estragon my friend, at this place, until the fall of night, I waited for Godot? That Pozzo passed, with his carrier, and that he spoke to us? Probably. But in all that what truth will there be?

Dnly emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
Wallace Stevens, from The Emperor of Ice-Cream
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still of the nif
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their ar
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or br
Or the strut and trade 6f charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.
Not for the proud man apart From the raging moon I write On these spendthrift pages Nor for the towering dead With their nightingales and psalms But for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who play no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art.
Dylan Thomas, In My Craft Or Sullen ,

Nothin very bad happen to me lately.
How you explain that? - I explain that, Mr Bones,
terms o'your bafflin odd sobriety.
Sober as a man can get, no girls, no telephones,
what could happen bad to Mr Bones?

W. C. Williams, This Is Just to Say
Love is not all; it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough.
Ah, youth! Where soest thou? Years from now, when I reach the pin- nacle of my life's success, I will take a break from washins floors for 50* over minimum wase and say to myself: "Gosh, weren't those the days!"
Of course, I may not live up to the True Success story described above. I may end up in business, or higher education.
The question raised by this rather ob- scure message (no doubt due to the pressures of Page 416) is this:
You've got a certificate in your hand, what now?
Back in the sunny 60s you'd be in the middle of an existential crisis. Today, with the Bull rampaging through the alleys of our egos, graduation seems like just another step on the way to a Happy Retirement in the Suburbs. In the words of Leonard Cohen, "That's how it goes. Everybody knows."
Well, I don't mean to rain on anybody's pancakes (I know that's not the expres- sion but bear with me) - but NOBODY KNOWS. The Meaning of Life hasn't been discovered by Merck. No Microsoft pat- ented algorithm exists for Happiness and Fulfillment. A degree in Management is no guarantee of good sex. A trip to Friday's (even on a weekday) will never compensate for a Mon-Fri/9-5 spent in a cubicle, even if it's a cubicle with a Leather Chair and an Automatic Stapler.
There will be a day when you'll throw open the window of your office, fill your lungs with air, and scream your soul away. This day will come, and it will not depend on the Dow's rise or fall. Even if you reach the top of the world, you'll be standing there one day, with the window wide open, howling:
What now?
And that, essentially, is the question raised by this rather obscure message.
Go figure.
