"Feel  Like  a  Number",  Bob  Seger,  copyright  1977.  Gear  Publishing 
Co./ASCAP 


Congratulations.  You're  graduating  from 
the  largest  private  university  in  the 
country.  If  perhaps  you've  somehow 
managed  to  avoid  the  statistics  for  five 
years,  here  they  are,  in  an  abbreviated 
form: 

—  The  entire,  full-time  undergraduate 
enrollment  is  16,389 

—  The  number  of  graduating  seniors  (as 
of  Sept.  1983)  is  2,977 

1,697  of  you  had  your  senior  pictures 
taken  'Tor  Mom" 

It  is  not  surprising  that  a  student  at 
Northeastern  often  feels  like  a  number, 
lost  in  a  multitude  of  people.  Waiting  in 
lines  to  buy  books,  cash  checks,  apply  for 
housing,  buy  food,  receive  yearbooks, 
and  even  to  graduate  can  be  frustrating. 
Being  known  at  the  registrar's  office, 
bursar's  office,  and  even  some  of  the 
larger  classes  as  your  social  security 
number  can  be  a  humbling  experience. 
However,  many  of  the  situations  we 
encounter  here  at  N.U.  will  occur  on  a 
larger  scale  after  graduation,  and 
perhaps  we  as  N.U.  graduates  will  be 
better  equipped  to  enter  the  "real  world" 
as  a  result. 

Furthermore,  being  classified  as  a 
number  at  Northeastern  is  not  all  that 
bad.  After  all,  each  of  our  numbers  is 
unique.  This  is  what  we  hope  to  highlight 
in  this  book:  the  ways  in  which  all  2977  of 
us  are  the  same,  but  more  importantly, 
the  ways  in  which  we  are  different .... 


And  you  thought 

numbers  weren't  important .  .  . 

SCENE  I 
Fall  Registration 
(Enter  Jeanine  Cauldron.  Typical 
Northeastern  student.) 

(To  herself)  101  Churchill.  Here's  the 
place.  I  can  hardly  wait  to  fill  out  my 
packet.  9:41.  Hope  I'm  not  the  last  one 
here. 

"Hi,  Sue!  Hi,  Jim!  How've  you  guys 
been?  Oh,  good .  .  .  uh  .  .  .  co-op?  Well, 
I  just  did  the  daily  financial  charts  for  a 
newspaper  at  home.  Boring.  I  never  want 
to  see  any  numbers  again  as  long  as  I 
live. " 

"Hey,  has  anyone  seen  my  packet?  Oh 
yea.  Right  here.  Whew,  no  Ballroom  line 
like  last  semester!" 

(To  herself)  Wow.  At  least  one  dozen 
cards.  Let's  see  .  .  . 

I'm  here,  count  me  in.  Just  me  and 
40,000  other  people.  Social  Security 
number?  666-99-1111.  Birthdate?  11-slash- 
2-slash-61.  Home  address?  70  East  33rd 
street.  Zip?  06804.  Local  address?  55 
Queensberry  Street,  apartment  2 — a 
veritable  castle!  Zip?  02115.  Phone?  I'll 
give  them  the  local  one:  262-0007.  Year 
of  graduation?  1984— Thank  God. 

Now  what  did  I  pre-register  for?  Hmmm 
.  .  .  38,101,  sequence  1. 

"Oh  no!  8  o  'clocks  again!  That  means  I 
have  to  get  up  before  7:00!  Oh  .  .  .  uh  .  . 
.  sorry.  I'll  try  to  stay  quiet. " 

(To  herself)  What  a  creep.  She 
probably  gets  up  before  6:00  to  start 
working  on  that  disposition.  Where  was  I? 
38. 101,  Key  0818,  110  BY.  Yuck,  I  hate  the 
"Y."  36.202,  sequence  3,  10:30,  Key  0630, 
356  Rl.  38.140,  sequence  11.  Great,  I  like 
those  1-day-a-week  classes  .  .  .  too  bad 
it's  3  hours  long.  Key  0366,  222  LA.  And 
38. 136,  11:45,  Key  0835,  423  HA. 

Gee,  now  I  only  have  to  write  this  5 
more  times  .  .  . 

SCENE  II 
Bookstore 
(Jeanine  is  utterly  amazed  at  the  amount 
of  people  that  can  jam  into  such  a  small 
space.) 

(To  herself)  There  must  be  one  million 
people  in  here!  Something  tells  me  this 
isn't  healthy. 

"Hey!  Would  you  watch  where  you're 
going!  I've  only  got  10  toes!" 

(To  herself)  Some  people!  And  just  look 
at  the  prices  on  these  books.  I  need  6 
and  it's  going  to  cost  me  more  than  140 
dollars.  And  look  at  the  lines!  I'd  better 
take  a  number.  Better  yet,  I'll  go  to  the 
bank  and  get  cash.  No  one  ever  has  to 
wait  in  the  cash  line. 

Now  all  I  have  to  do  is  .  .  .  find  .  .  .  my  . 
.  .  "Aha!"  Bank  card.  It's  automatic  teller 
time  .  .  . 

SCENE  III 
Automatic  Teller  Machine 
(Jeanine  waits  only  15  minutes  in  the 
automatic  teller  line  .  .  .) 

People  take  forever  here,  too!  I  could 
turn  80  by  the  time  I .  .  .  please  insert 
card.  O.K.  Enter  automatic  teller  code  .  .  . 

"Oh  no  .  .  .  what  was  that  number 
again?"

Chronology 


April  1.  1979 — Legislation  signed 
by  Governor  Edward  King  raises 
the  legal  drinking  age  in 
Massachusetts  to  20. 

Sept  29,  1979— Over  400 
Northeastern  students  become 
involved  in  what  is  later  to  be 
called  "the  Gainsborough  Street 
Riot".  Seven  are  arrested  and 
53  taken  into  protective 
custody  after  a  fight  escalates 
into  a  full-blown  riot  when  police 
arrive  at  the  scene. 

October  1,  1979— Pope  John  Paul 


II  arrives  in  Boston  to  begin  a 
seven  day  tour  of  the  United 
States  that  includes  visits  to  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Des  Moines, 
Chicago,  and  Washington  D.C. 

October  18,  1979— Racial  violence 
erupts  in  Boston  after  the 
shooting  of  a  black  high  school 
football  player  Darryl  Williams. 

October  22,  1979— Exxon  third 
quarter  profits  jump  119 
percent. 

November  4,  1979— The  United 
States  embassy  in  Tehran  is 
seized  by  radical  Iranian 
students  who  demand  that  the 
deposed  Shah  of  Iran  be 


Americans  held  hostage  in  Iran  after  US  Embassy  seized 


Crises  in  the  Middle  East  are 
something  that  the  class  of  1984 
have  grown  up  with  for  most  of 
their  lives.  Even  when  Shah 
Mohammed  Reza  Pahlavi  was 
deposed,  and  the  Ayatollah 
Ruhollah  Khomeini  assumed  power 
in  Iran,  most  of  us  were  not  overly 
concerned.  After  all,  it  was  still 
"over  there." 

However,  on  November  4,  1979, 
all  eyes  turned  toward  the  Middle 
East,  where  the  United  States 
embassy  in  Tehran  had  been 
seized  by  radical  Iranian  students. 
The  students  held  about  60 
Americans  hostage,  and 
demanded  that  the  exiled  Shah 
be  returned  from  the  U.S.,  where 
he  was  undergoing  treatment  for 
cancer.  They  accused  Reza 
Pahlavi  of  repression, 
misappropriation  of  funds,  and 
embezzlement,  and  called  for  his 
return  in  order  to  place  him  on 
trial  for  his  crimes.  Washington 
refused  their  demands,  however, 
claiming  that  they  would  not 
submit  to  such  "international 
terrorism"  and  "blind  disregard  for 
international  law."  The  Shah 
offered  to  leave  the  U.S.  but  was 
dissuaded  by  his  doctors.  The 
Iranian  crisis  had  begun,  and 
Americans  were  made  painfully 
aware  of  how  events  in  the 
Middle  East  meant  more  than 
higher  gas  prices. 

President  Carter  responded 
quickly  with  several  sanctions 
against  Iran,  including  a  freeze  on 
all  Iranian-held  assets  in  the  U.S., 
as  well  as  a  suspension  of  all  oil 
imports  from  that  country.-  In 
addition.  Carter  ordered  the 
deportation  of  all  Iranian  students 
who  were  in  violation  of  their  visas. 


Although  the  students  agreed  to 
release  five  women  and  eight 
black  hostages,  they  made  it 
known  that  they  were  doing  so  in 
response  to  a  request  by  the 
Ayatollah,  and  had  no  intention  of 
putting  an  end  to  the  crisis  until 
their  demands  were  met. 

Furthermore,  on  December  1, 
1979,  the  students  announced 
that  they  had  identified  CIA 
agents  among  the  hostages,  and 
Foreign  Minister  Gotzbadeh  said 
that  the  hostages  would  be  tried 
as  spies  by  the  students  holding 
them  captive.  The  situation 
intensified  further  when  the  Soviet 
Union  warned  that  any  U.S.  military 
action  in  Iran  could  result  in 
"grave  consequences." 

The  crisis  remained  unresolved 
through  the  beginning  of  1980, 
although  a  glint  of  hope  surfaced 
in  January.  On  the  29th,  six 
Americans  were  successfully 
smuggled  out  of  Iran  with  the  aid 
of  Canadian  diplomats  who  had 


hidden  them  at  the  Canadian 
Embassy  when  the  first  trouble 
began.  It  was  a  small  victory  for 
the  U.S.,  and  we  showed  our 
gratitude  to  our  northern 
neighbors  on  billboards  and 
newspaper  headlines  nationwide. 

On  April  24th,  1980,  eight 
American  servicemen  died  in  a 
collision  between  a  C-130 
transport  plane  and  a  helicopter, 
after  aborting  their  rescue  mission. 
It  was  a  devastating  blow  to 
American  morale,  and  although 
the  accident  was  caused  by  poor 
weather  conditions,  the  Iranians 
used  the  incident  to  their 
advantage,  claiming  a  victory 
against  "American  imperialism". 
They  paraded  the  charred  remains 
of  the  soldiers  through  the  streets 
of  Tehran,  which  served  to  incite 
the  Iranian  people  further. 
Khomeini  denounced  Carter  for 
what  he  deemed  "a  stupid  act," 
and  warned  that  another  such 
attempt  would  endanger  the  lives 


returned  to  stand  trial  for  his 
crimes. 

November  7,  1979— Senator  Ted 
Kennedy  declares  his  candidacy 
for  the  Democratic  presidential 
nomination  to  the  cheers  of 
hundreds  of  supporters  at 
Faneuil  Hall. 

December  3,  1979— Eleven 
people  are  trampled  to  death 
during  a  stampede  for 
unreserved  seats  at  a  Who 
concert  in  Cincinatti. 

January  18,  1980— Gold  prices 
rocket  to  an  all-time  high  of 
$835  an  ounce  on  the  London 
market. 


Headlines:  1979  —  1980 


of  the  hostages.  It  was  learned 
shortly  afterward  that  Secretary  of 
State  Cyrus  Vance  had  submitted 
his  resignation  after  the  decision 
was  made  to  attempt  the  rescue. 
Carter  gained  little  respect  for  his 
handling  of  the  problem,  but 
defended  his  judgement  saying 
"There  is  a  deeper  failure  than 
that  of  incomplete  success.  That  is 
the  failure  to  attempt  a  worthy 
effort  -  a  failure  to  try." 

The  next  development  occurred 
in  July  of  1980,  when  Khomeini 
ordered  the  release  of  Vice 
Consul  Richard  Queen  due  to  an 
undisclosed  illness.  It  was  later 
determised  that  Queen  suffered 
from  multiple  sclerosis,  and  U.S. 
doctors  claimed  that  his  condition 
had  been  worsened  by  the  stress 
he  had  been  subjected  to.  Soon 
thereafter,  the  deposed  Shah  died 
in  Cairo  on  July  27th,  and  although 
Americans  became  hopeful, 
Iranian  president  Bani-Sadr 
announced  that  there  would  be  no 
change  in  the  hostage  situation. 

The  long  summer  in  Tehran 
passed  without  incident,  but  on 
September  12th,  Khomeini 
submitted  to  the  U.S.  a  set  of 
conditions  under  which  the  crisis 
would  be  resolved.  He  demanded 
that  1)  The  late  Shah's  wealth  be 
returned  to  Iran,  2)  American 
banks  cancel  all  claims  against 
Iran,  3)  The  U.S.  unblock  all  frozen 
assets,  and  4)  America  promise 
not  to  intervene  politically  or 
militarily  in  Iran's  affairs. 

On  September  20th,  the  U.S. 
stated  that  it  had  accepted,  in 
principle,  the  four  conditions  "as  a 
basis  for  a  resolution  to  the  crisis." 
Diplomacy  works  through  slow 
channels,  however,  and  the 
hostages  spent  yet  another 
Christmas  in  Tehran.  The  crisis 
would  not  be  resolved  until  1981. 


Yellow  r/b£>ons-Northeastern  students  joined  the  rest  of  the  nation  in  a  public  display  of 
concern  and  hope  for  the  safe  return  of  the  hostages  by  tying  yellow  ribbons  all  over  the 
campus. 


Feel  like  a  number? 

The  U.S.  government  is  by  far 
the  worst  offender  when  it  comes 
to  making  each  of  us  feel  like  a 
number,  but  it  seems  that  even 
Uncle  Sam  balks  at  the  thought  of 
one  of  his  citizens  actually  using  a 
number  as  a  name. 

On  May  5,  1980,  Michael  Herbert 
Dengler  went  before  the  U.S. 
Supreme  Court  and  was  denied  a 
name-change  request  that  would 
have  given  him  the  number  1069 
as  his  legal  name. 

Dengler  began  his  court  battle 
in  1977  after  using  1069  as  his 
name  for  five  years  prior  to  that. 
He  had  been  successful  in  getting 
his  bank,  the  Social  Security 
Administration,  and  several  state 
agencies  to  recognize  him  as  1069 
(pronounced  One-Zero-Six-Nine). 
However,  he  was  unable  to 
convince  a  utility  company  or  the 
Minnesota  Drivers  License  Division 
to  do  the  same  without  court 
approval.  The  Minnesota  Supreme 
Court  denied  his  request. 

In  doing  so,  they  upheld  a  prior 


decision  by  District  court  Justice 
Donald  Barbeau,  who  stated  that 
it  would  be  "dehumanizing"  for 
any  person  to  be  known  only  by  a 
number.  The  judge  likened  it  to 
the  numbers  tattooed  on  prisoners 
in  World  War  II  concentration 
camps.  To  allow  a  legal  name 
change  to  a  number  "would 
hasten  the  day  in  which  we  all 
become  lost  in  a  faceless 
number,"  Barbeau  said. 

Dengler,  a  former  social  studies 
teacher  and  divorced  father  of 
two  (who  both  live  with  their 
mother),  was  born  in  Germany 
and  is  a  naturalized  U.S.  citizen.  He 
has  never  explained  exactly  why 
he  wishes  to  use  a  number  as  a 
name,  but  he  has  said  that  1069 
symbolizes  his  personal  and 
philosophical  identity. 

Unfortunately  for  Dengler,  Uncle 
Sam  didn't  buy  that  reason.  So,  at 
least  for  the  time  being,  we  can 
all  rest  assured  that  even  though 
our  government  seems  pre- 
occupied with  numbers,  they  still 
agree  that  our  names  help  keep 
us  unique.

Huskies  pluck  the  Eagles 


After  27  years  of  frustration, 
the  Northeastern  Hockey  Huskies 
welcomed  the  class  of  '84  into 
school  in  style,  with  their  first 
ever  Beanpot  championship. 
And  it  was  fitting  that  one  of 
the  team  members  most 
responsible  for  the  win  was  one 
George  Demetroulakas,  a 
member  of  the  class  of  '84. 

The  first  round  a  week  earlier 
had  seen  the  Huskies  defeat 
arch-rival  Boston  University  6-5  in 
overtime.  N.U.  fans  were  thrilled 
just  to  make  it  to  the  finals 
against  Boston  College,  the 
top-ranked  team  in  the  East. 
Never  in  their  wildest  dreams 
did  they  envision  the  Huntington 
Hounds  winning  it  all,  but 


second  place  was  certainly 
better  than  third  or  fourth. 

Well,  first  place  was  even 
better,  the  team  decided,  and 
the  fans  didn't  argue  as  N.U. 
shockea  the  Eagles  5-4,  once 
again  in  overtime.  Everyone  in 
the  Boston  Garden  that 
February  evening  was  rooting 
for  the  Huskies,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  the  B.C.  fans.  The 
perennial  underdogs  had  finally 
done  it,  and  in  grand  style. 

For  the  class  of  '84,  one  of 
the  most  memorable  moments 
of  our  five  years  here  must 
certainly  be  of  Captain  Wayne 
Turner's  game  winning  goal 
(pictured  above).

America  celebrates;  hostages  free 


On  January  20,  1981,  an 
American  nightmare  finally  came 
to  an  end,  as  the  52  hostages 
were  flown  out  of  Iran  after 
enduring  444  days  in  captivity. 
Their  release  followed  an 
agreement  between  the  U.S.  and 
Iran  whereby  the  U.S.  agreed  to 
return  $8  billion  in  Iranian  assets 
which  it  had  seized  at  the  onset 
of  the  crisis. 

The  hostages  were  escorted  out 
of  Iran  by  Algerian  diplomats,  then 
they  flew  to  Algiers  where  they 
boarded  two  U.S.  Air  Force  planes. 
After  arriving  in  Wiesbaden,  West 
Germany,  the  hostages  were 
debriefed,  tested,  and  given 
physical  examinations.  President 
Jimmy  Carter,  who  was  defeated 
by  Ronald  Reagan  in  a  landslide 
election  victory  only  months 
before,  flew  to  Wiesbaden  to 
welcome  the  Americans.  He 
reported  that  they  had  been 
subject  to  acts  of  barbarism, 


including  beatings,  months  in 
solitary  confinement,  the  constant 
fear  of  death,  and  physical  and 
mental  mistreatment. 

In  preparation  for  their  families' 
reunions  with  the  hostages 
relatives  were  flown  to 
Washington  on  Jan.  24.  On  Jan. 
25,  the  hostages  landed  in  their  Air 
Force  VC-137  named  Freedom 
One  at  Stewart  International 
Airport,  17  miles  away  from  the 
U.S.  Military  Academy  at  West 
Point. 

Their  families  joined  them  there, 
and  proceeded  by  bus  to  West 
Point  where  they  were  to  stay 
until  Jan.  27.  As  the  bus  drove  to 
the  academy,  some  20,000 
people  lined  the  route,  cheering 
them  on.  On  Jan.  27,  the  hostages 
and  their  families  were  flown  to 
Washington  where  President 
Reagan  greeted  them  on  the 
South  Lawn  of  the  White  House. 


"Mr.  Northeastern" 
dies  at  94 

Carl  Stephens  Ell,  one  of  the 
major  forces  behind  the  founding 
of  Northeastern  University,  died 
early  Friday,  April  17,  1981.  With  his 
passing,  Ell  left  behind  a  legacy  of 
service  spanning  70  years.  Under 
his  leadership,  Northeastern  grew 
from  a  small  institution  to  one  of 
the  largest  private  institutions  in 
the  country. 

Carl  Ell  was  born  in  Staunton, 
Indiana  on  Nov.  14,  1887,  and 
grew  up  on  his  family  farm. 
Descended  from  German 
immigrants  who  came  to  the  US 
during  the  1840's,  Ell  graduated 
from  DePauw  University  in  1909.  He 
came  East  to  do  graduate  work  in 
engineering  at  MIT,  and  was 
asked  to  teach  a  surveying  course 
at  the  Boston  YMCA  in  1910. 

Thus,  Ell  began  his  service  to 
what  was  to  become 
Northeastern  with  an  initial 
enrollment  of  eight  students  in  his 
surveying  course.  The  class  was 
taught  in  the  attic  of  the  building, 
and  students  had  to  rent 
surveying  equipment  from  an 
engineering  firm  and  return  it  after 
the  day's  classes. 

The  YMCA  then  created  its  Co- 
operative School  of  Engineering, 
with  a  teaching  staff  of  seven, 
and  Ell  was  a  member.  In  1917, 
Northeastern  College  of  the 
Boston  YMCA  was  created,  and 
Frank  Palmer  Speare  was 
inaugurated  as  president.  Ell 
served  as  dean,  then  vice- 
president,  finally  succeeding 
Speare  as  president  in  1940.  Upon 
his  inauguration  as  president, 
Northeastern 's  enrollment  in  its 
three  daytime  undergraduate 
colleges  was  2,677. 

Ell  gave  his  concept  of 
Northeastern's  educational

January  6,  1981 — Scientists  in

accomplished  by  taking  the 
nuclei  of  other  mice  eggs  and 
activating  the  life  producing 
enzymes  to  produce  a 
complete  organism. 

February  23,  1981— A  group  of 
Civil  Guards  seize  the  lower 


house  of  the  Spanish  Parliament, 
taking  most  of  the  country's 
leaders  hostage.  None  of  the

several  rounds  of  automatic  rifle 
fire  are  shot  into  the  air.  King

philosophy  in  his  inaugural  address: 
"There  was  in  this  Commonwealth, 
a  need  for  a  university  of 
employed  men  of  intellectual 
ability  but  limited  financial  means; 
an  idea  which  was  soon  to 
become  crystallized  in  the  phrase 
"earn-while-you-learn,"  he  said.  Ell 
realized  that  the  role  of 
Northeastern  was  to  provide  a 
college  education  to  the  middle 
class  and  poor  who  would  be 
willing  to  work  their  way  through 
school.  He  believed  that  it  was 
wrong  to  provide  higher 
education  only  to  the  elite,  noting 
that  denial  of  such  an  opportunity 
to  the  masses  "means  frustration, 
and  frustrated  youth  are  the  fertile 
soil  for  radical  and  desperate 
ideas;  for  Fascism  and  Nazism."  Ell 
spoke  these  words  just  one  year 
before  the  U.S.  entered  World  War 
II,  and  after  having  lived  through 
the  first  World  War,  it  is  obvious 
that  Ell  was  concerned  and  well 
aware  of  what  he  was  talking 
about. 


Under  Ell's  presidency, 
Northeastern's  campus  began  to 
take  shape.  From  its  humble 
beginnings  in  the  YMCA,  Ell  raised 
funds  to  construct  the  Mugar 
building,  as  well  as  the  building 
housing  Alumni  Auditorium,  which 
was  named  after  Ell  in  honor  of  his 
retirement  in  1959.  Other  buildings 
constructed  under  his  presidency 
included  Cabot  Gymnasium, 
Dodge  Library,  and  Hayden  Hall. 
By  the  time  Ell  retired  in  1959, 
Northeastern  had  a  definite  home 
on  Huntington  ave. 

Carl  Ell  continued  to  remain 
active  in  serving  the  university 
even  after  his  retirement.  He 
received  the  title  of  President 
Emeritus  when  he  stepped  down, 
and  maintained  an  office  at  the 
university  well  into  his  last  years. 
He  remained  a  symbol  of 
Northeastern  to  many  people,  and 
although  many  N.U.  students  never 
knew  the  man,  much  of  what  we 
have  today,  as  a  university,  is  due 
to  his  work. 


Gainsborough 
violence 

Once  again,  Gainsborough 
street  became  a  battleground  as 
several  nearby  parties  spilled  out 
into  the  street,  on  Saturday  May 
16,  1981 

According  to  witnesses  on  the 
scene,  as  the  students  blocked 
the  road,  a  car  attempted  to 
pass  through.  The  students  refused 
to  let  the  car  through,  and  as  the 
driver  became  more  insistent, 
students  began  to  pelt  the  car 
with  beer  bottles  and  rocks.  When 
the  Boston  Police  arrived,  they 
blocked  off  both  ends  of 
Gainsborough  street,  but  did  not 
attempt  to  break  up  the  fracas. 

Furthermore,  students 
overturned  and  torched  a  car 
that  had  apparently  been 
abandoned,  according  to 
residents  in  the  area.  One  eye- 
witness stated  that  "I  was  up  on 
the  roof  of  113  Gainsborough,  and 
everyone  was  hanging  out  in  the 
street.  Then  some  people  were 
taking  turns  banging  the  car  with 
their  hands,  crutches,  and  bottles. 
They  were  having  strength  tests. 
Then  about  ten  people  turned 
over  the  car.  I  heard  somebody 
yell  to  get  away  from  the  car, 
and  the  whole  thing  went  up  in 
flames." 

The  University  officials  were 
justifiably  upset  with  the  events  of 
Saturday  evening,  but  as  Director 
of  Public  Information  Christopher 
Mosher  stated,  "This  is  the  type  of 
situation  where  the  university  is 
frustrated  and  its  hands  tied.  We 
do  not  have  jurisdiction  over 
people  who  live  in  Boston.  There 
are  no  university-owned 
apartments  on  Gainsborough 
street.  We  don't  know  how  many 
involved  were  Northeastern 
students."

America's  youth?  For  the  second

8th  grade  students  conducted  by 
the  World  Almanac  shows  that 
Burt  Reynolds  comes  out  on  top, 
easily  outdistancing  the  rest  of  the 
competition.  His  admirers  were 
divided  equally  among  male  and 
female,  and  came  from  the 
biggest  cross-section  of  students 
nationwide,  thus  earning  him  the 
distinction  of  top  hero. 

The  second  annual  World

high  school  students  aged  13  to 
14,  and  from  both  inner-city  and

murdered 

Anwar-el  Sadat,  Egyptian 
president  and  Middle-east

opend  fire  from  a  jeep,  then 
charged  the  reviewing  stand 
where  Sadat  was  observing  the

the  assassins  injured  several  in  the 
stands,  causing  panic  and

domestic  policies  would  continue 
to  be  adhered  to. 

Sadat  had  infuriated  Arabs  both 
at  home  and  abroad  by  signing 
an  historic  peace  treaty  with  Israel 
on  March  26,  1979.  In  addition, 
Sadat  had  been  cracking  down 
on  domestic  opposition  and 
religious  dissidents.  It  is  believed 
that  these  actions  made  him 
increasingly  unpopular  among 
Arab  fundamentalists. 

Popularity  was  not  something 
that  Sadat  had  worried  about  in 
the  past.  Born  into  a  relatively 
poor  family,  Sadat  was  always 
proud  of  what  he  called  "village 
ethics."  His  bold  political  decisions 
and  strong  personality  helped  him 
to  win  the  backing  of  the  people. 
Many  Egyptians  cheered  when  in 


1977,  Sadat  declared  that  he 
would  go  to  the  ends  of  the 
earth,  "even  to  the  Israeli  Knesset 
to  discuss  peace,  if  it  would  save 
one  Egyptian  soldier." 

This  is  precisely  what  he  did, 
angering  many  Arabs  who  thought 
that  he  was  selling  out  to  the 
Israelis.  Sadat,  in  one  of  the  most 
historic  meetings  in  history,  signed, 
along  with  Israeli  prime  minister 
Begin,  a  peace  treaty  which 
ended  more  than  30  years  of 
hostilities  between  both  countries. 
His  actions  infuriated  Islamic 
fundamentalists  in  the  Mideast,  but 
the  rest  of  the  world  hailed  Sadat 
as  a  peacemaker. 

Despite  his  untimely  death, 
Anwar-el  Sadat  left  behind  the 
groundwork  for  establishing  a 


lasting  peace  in  the  troubled 
Mideast.  His  determination,  in  the 
face  of  equally  determined 
opposition  is  to  be  commended. 
Hopefully  with  his  passing,  the 
world  will  remember  the 
motivation  behind  Sadat's  efforts, 
and  not  destroy  the  peace  he 
worked  so  long  and  hard  to 
achieve.

Falklands  at  war;  Britain  prevails 


On  April  2,  1982,  the 
government  of  Argentina 
announced  that  its  army,  navy 
and  air  force  had  captured  the 
British-held  Falkland  Islands,  250 
miles  southeast  of  their  country. 
Several  thousand  Argentine  troops 
overpowered  84  British  marines 
stationed  on  the  islands.  U.S. 
President  Ronald  Reagan  had  tried 
by  phone  to  get  Argentine 
President  Galtieri  to  call  off  the 
invasion,  but  to  no  avail, 

The  following  day,  British  Prime 
Minister  Margaret  Thatcher 
ordered  a  large  naval  task  force 
to  set  sail  for  the  islands,  and 
announced  a  freeze  on  all 
Argentinian  assets  held  in  Britain; 
approximately  1.5  billion  in  gold, 
securities  and  currency  deposits. 

After  several  unsuccessful 
attempts  by  U.S.  Secretary  of 
State  Alexander  Haig  to  persuade 
the  Argentinians  to  withdraw,  the 
British  navy  imposed  a  blockade 
on  the  islands,  not  allowing  ships 
to  get  any  closer  then  200  miles. 
The  British  received  the  support  of 
the  Common  Market,  which 
declared  a  total  ban  on  all 
imports  from  Argentina.  Several 
other  countries  banned  the 
shipment  of  military  equipment  to 
Argentina  as  well. 

On  April  25,  the  British  reported 
that  its  troops  had  captured  the 
port  of  Grytuiken  in  a  surprise  raid, 
after  a  two  hour  battle  with 
Argentina  troops.  Prime  Minister 
Thatcher  warned  that  further 
military  actions  would  be  taken 
should  Argentina  fail  to  withdraw 
its  forces  from  the  islands. 

The  Argentines  refused, 
however,  and  on  May  21,  after 
several  minor  battles,  British  troops 
established  a  firm  beach-head  at 
San  Carlos  Bay,  after  storming 
ashore  in  several  small  raids  and 


landings.  The  Argentines  sunk  two 
British  frigates  in  the  battle,  but 
were  unsuccessful  in  repelling  the 
invasion,  as  the  beach-head 
swelled  to  approximately  5,000 
troops.  British  forces  staged  two 
offensives  six  days  later,  and  were 
successful  in  both,  capturing  two 
key  points,  Darwin  and  Goose 
Green. 

Both  sides  engaged  in  the 
fiercest  fighting  of  the  war  on 
June  12,  as  Britian  troops  moved 
on  the  capital  of  Stanley.  Heavy 
casualties  were  suffered  by  both 
armies.  Two  days  later,  Margaret 
Thatcher  announced  that 
Argentine  troops  in  the  Falklands 
had  surrendered,  and  that  Stanley 
was  now  occupied  by  British 
forces.  By  the  end  of  the  month, 
all  hostilities  had  ended,  and  the 
islands  inhabitants  (mostly  sheep) 
were  back  under  British  rule. 

Tough  life  in  Boston 

It  seems  that  in  fiscal  1982, 
Boston's  chief  lawyer  set  out  to 
investigate  pension  applications 
submitted  by  city  employees.  One 
request  came  from  Barry  Hynes, 
47  years  old  and  an  employee 
of  the  city  since  1963.  Hynes 
asked  for  a  pension  due  to  his 
poor  health  which  he  and  his 
doctor  determined  was  a  result  of 
stress  on  the  job.  Hynes  claimed  to 
suffer  from  "nightmares  relating  to 
city  council  meetings  gone  out  of 
control". 

Even  more  priceless  was  an 
application  by  another  Boston 
official,  Richard  Sinnot.  Sinnots's  job 
was  to  issue  entertainment 
licenses.  This  required  him  to 
attend  rock  concerts  by  Rick 
James  and  The  Who.  As  a  result, 
he  claimed,  he  had  been 
"reduced  to  a  shell  of  myself, 
barely  able  to  function". 


Polish  crackdown 

After  months  of  unrest  in  Poland, 
Polish  Prime  Minister  Gen.  Wojciek 
Jaruzelski  decreed  a  state  of 
martial  law  on  Dec.  13,  1981, 
stating  that  such  an  act  was 
necessary  to  prevent  civil  war  in 
that  country.  His  declaration  of  a 
state  of  emergency  placed  a  ban 
on  all  public  gatherings  and 
demonstrations. 

Much  of  the  reason  for  the 
imposition  of  martial  law  lay  in  the 
growing  popularity  of  the  Polish 
trade  union  Solidarity,  and  its 
leader,  Lech  Walesa.  The  trade 
union  supported  strikes  throughout 
Poland,  helping  to  organize  many. 
Government  forces  met  with 
resistance  as  they  tried  to  halt  the 
strikes.  On  Dec.  17,  seven  people 
were  killed  and  hundreds 
wounded  as  they  fought  with 
troops  at  dozens  of  strike  sites.

Terrorist  kidnapping 

Brigadier  Gen.  James  L.  Dozier, 
the  deputy  chief  of  staff  for 
logistics  and  administration  at  the 
Verona  headquarters  for  allied 
forces  in  Southern  Europe,  was 
kidnapped  in  that  city  on  Dec.  17, 
1981.  The  Red  Brigade,  an  Italian 
guerilla  group  claimed 
responsibility  of  the  abduction  in  a 
telephone  call  to  the  Italian  news 
agency  ANSA.  The  following  day, 
Italian  Prime  Minister  Giovanni 
Spadolini  ordered  a  major  search 
to  locate  Dozier.  President  Reagan 
called  the  kidnappers  cowardly 
bums,  and  vowed  to  do  anything 
necessary  to  secure  the  safe 
recovery  of  the  general. 

As  the  search  continued,  the 
kidnappers  placed  leaflets  in  the 
cities  of  Milan  and  Venice  on  Dec. 
21,  taunting  the  efforts  of  the 
police.  Searchers  were  finally  able 
to  rescue  Dozier  in  a  pre-dawn 
raid  on  the  hidehut  where  the  Red 
Brigade  had  imprisoned  the 
general.

Israel  invades  Lebanon:  PLO  defeated 


The  Israeli  army,  air  force  and 
navy  staged  a  full  scale  invasion 
of  Lebanon  on  June  6,  1982.  More 
than  250  tanks  and  armored 
personnel  carriers  plus  thousands 
of  infantry  swarmed  ashore  into 
Southern  Lebanon,  capturing 
several  Palestinian  strongholds. 

The  immediate  reason  for  the 
invasion  was  retaliation  for  the 
attempted  assassination  of  the 
Israeli  ambassador  to  Britain.  Israel 
accused  the  PLO  of  the  act,  and 
launched  their  invasion  soon  after. 
The  PLO  retaliated  with  heavy 
artillery  fire  and  rocket  attacks 
directed  at  Israeli  and  Israeli- 
backed  Christian  troops  in  the 
lower  foothills  of  Lebanon. 

Israeli  air  force  jets  engaged 
Syrian  planes  in  combat,  shooting 
down  22  Russian-built  MIG's,  and 


destroying  a  Syrian  surface-to-air 
missile  system  in  the  Beka  Valley. 
Meanwhile,  Isareli  ground  forces 
drove  to  within  4  miles  of  Beirut. 

On  June  10,  President  Reagan 
called  on  Israeli  Prime  Minister 
Menachem  Begin  to  withdraw  his 
troops  from  Lebanon.  The 
following  day,  Israel  announced  a 
ceasefire,  which  did  not  extend  to 
the  PLO  forces. 

As  the  fighting  continued, 
President  Reagan  and  Prime 
Minister  Begin  reached  an 
agreement  that  all  troops, 
including  Israeli  and  Syrian,  should 
withdraw  from  Lebanon.  On  Aug. 
25,  a  multinational  peacekeeping 
force,  including  troops  from  the 
U.S.,  Italy,  France,  and  several 
other  countries  replaced  Israeli 
forces  in  Lebanon.

Soviet  leader  dies 

Leonid  llyich  Breshnev,  General 
Secretary  of  the  Soviet  Communist 
Party  Central  Committee  and 
President  of  the  Presidium  of  The 
U.S.S.R.  Supreme  Soviet,  died  a 
sudden  death  at  8:30  A.M.  on 
November  10,  1982. 

Breshnev,  who  was  75  years  old 
at  the  time  of  his  death,  had  been 
the  leader  of  the  Soviet  Union  for 
18  years.  The  son  of  a  Russian 
metalworker,  Breshnev  was  born  in 
the  Ukrainian  industrial  town  of 
Kamensoye.  He  was  ten  years  old 
at  the  time  of  the  Bolshevik 
revolution,  attended  a  grammar 
school  subsidized  by  his  father's 
steel  plant,  and  worked  as  a 
manual  laborer  for  a  time.  In  1923, 
he  joined  the  Komosol,  the 
Communist  youth  organization. 
After  vocational  school,  Breshnev's 
first  job  was  to  help  supervise  the 
distribution  of  land  that  Stalin  had 
seized  from  peasants  in  the  Urals. 
After  becoming  a  Communist 
party  member  in  1931,  he  earned 
an  engineering  degree  while 
working  his  way  up  the 
bureaucratic  ladder. 

Finally,  after  becoming  Nikita 
Kruschev's  protege,  Breshnev 
became  a  member  of  the 
conspiracy  against  his  mentor  that 
forced  Kruschev  into  retirement. 
Soon  after,  in  1966,  Breshnev 
assumed  the  title  of  General 
Secretary  of  the  Soviet  Communist 
Party,  thus  consolidating  his  power 
base  and  giving  him  control  over 
the  party. 

Breshnev  was  an  instrumental 
figure  in  the  furthering  of  detente 
between  the  U.S.  and  U.S.S.R.,  but 
near  the  end  of  hrs  reign  as 
Supreme  Soviet,  he  led  Soviet 
policy  off  on  a  radical  course 
change  with  the  invasion  of 
Afghanistan.  Not  since  1945  had 


Soviet  troops  been  used  to  force 
a  non-Soviet  controlled  country  to 
bend  to  the  will  of  the  Kremlin.  This 
served  to  worsen  U.S. -Soviet 
relations,  as  did  the  imposition  of 
martial  law  in  Poland.  Whether  his 
successor  will  continue  on  the 
course  that  Breshnev  embarked 
upon  before  his  death  remains  to 
be  seen.  One  thing  that  is  clear  is 
that  Soviet  relations  with  the  U.S. 
are  at  their  lowest  point  in  recent 
years,  and  whoever  succeeds 
Breshnev  is  going  to  have  to  deal 
with  the  situation  as  soon  as  he 
comes  into  power;  certainly  an 
unenviable  position  for  a  new 
leader  to  be  in. 

Jamie  Fiske  saved 

1 1  month  old  Jamie  Fiske 
stepped  into  the  spotlight  on 
November  5,  1982  as  she 
underwent  lifesaving  liver 
transplant  surgery  in  Minneapolis 
MN.  The  baby  daughter  of  Charles 
and  Marilyn  Fiske  of  East 
Bridgewater,  MA  became  a 
national  celebrity  due  to  her 
parent's  public  pleas  for  a 
transplant  donor.  Jamie's  father, 
Charles,  a  hospital  administrator, 
telegraphed  500  pediatricians  and 
also  placed  an  appeal  in  a 
newsletter  that  reached 
emergency  room  staffs  in  over 
1000  hospitals  asking  them  to 


keep  an  eye  out  for  potential 
donors.  Fiske  was  able  to 
persuade  the  American  Academy 
of  Pediatrics  to  allow  him  to  speak 
to  their  members  asking  them  for 
help  as  well. 

Soon  afterward,  following 
extensive  coverage  of  the  Fiske's 
appeal  by  all  three  networks  and 
newspapers  nationwide,  the 
families  of  over  500  would-be 
donors  phoned  the  University  of 
Minnesota  Hospital,  where  Jamie 
waited  for  surgery.  Two  offers 
turned  out  to  be  useful,  and 
doctors  declared  the  operation  a 
success.  Jamie,  after  a  period  of 
recovery,  returned  home  to  East 
Bridgewater,  and  was  greeted  by 
hundreds  of  friends  and  neighbors.

and  conviction  of  the  person  or 
persons  responsible  for  the 
murderers. 

On  October  5,  police  in  Oroville, 
California  reported  that  a 
poisoning  by  a  strychnine  laced 
capsule  of  Tylenol  in  that  city  was 
not  related  to  the  Chicago 
deaths.  Johnson  and  Johnson, 
however,  announced  a 
nationwide  recall  of  all  Tylenol 
capsules.  It  was  determined  that 
the  contamination  did  not  occur 
at  the  main  plant  where  the 
capsules  were  manufactured. 

The  FBI  announced  on  October 
13  that  it  had  obtained  a  warrant 
for  the  arrest  of  Robert  Richardson, 
a  Chicago  man  who  was  accused 
of  trying  to  extort  $1  million  from 
Johnson  and  Johnson.  It  was  found 
later  that  Richardson  was  an  alias 
for  James  W.  Lewis,  and  he  and 
his  wife,  Leann,  were  sought  as 
the  primary  suspects  in  the 
investigation  of  the  poisonings. 


First  artificial  heart 

Barney  Clarke,  a  61  year-old 
retired  dentist  from  Des  Moines 
Washington  became  the  first 
human  to  receive  a  permanently 
implanted  artificial  heart  on 
December  9,  1982.  The  operation 
took  7Vi  hours  to  complete. 

Clarke  was  suffering  from  a 
disease  known  as 
cardiomyopathy,  a  progressive 
weakening  of  the  heart  muscle 
that  eventually  leads  to 
congestive  heart  failure.  Since  he 
was  61,  eleven  years  older  than 
the  usual  age  limit  for  a  transplant, 
Clarke's  only  real  option  was  to 
attempt  the  operation  to  implant 
the  artificial  heart.  He  met  with  Dr. 
Robert  Jarvik  in  September  of  '82, 
toured  the  facilities  of  the 
University  of  Utah  Medical  Center 
where  the  operation  was  to  take 
place,  and  discussed  the 
procedure  with  Jarvik. 

After  his  heart  began  to 
deteriorate  rapidly  at  the 
beginning  of  December,  Clarke 
was  admitted  for  surgery.  He  was 
cleared  for  the  operation  by  the 
medical  committee  at  the 
hospital,  whose  criterion  stated 
that  the  patient  must  be  suffering 
from  a  fatal  heart  condition  with 
no  alternative  treatment,  as  well 
as  possess  psychological  stability 
and  a  strong  will  to  live.  Clarke 
passed  all  reguirements  with  flying 
colors,  as  one  committee  member 
noted,  "This  man  was  worth 
waiting  for." 

Medical  breakthrough 

When  22  year-old  Nan  Davis 
stood  up  in  front  of  television 
cameras  and  took  several  small 
steps,  she  was  in  the  process  of 
making  history.  Davis,  paralyzed 
from  the  rib  cage  down  as  a 
result  of  an  auto  crash  in  1978, 
performed  her  programmed 


"walk"  at  the  Wright  State 
University  biomedical  engineering 
lab. 

Using  a  parachute  harness  that 
supported  one  third  of  her  130 
pounds  and  gripping  a  pair  of 
parallel  bars,  Davis  was  able  to 
walk  10  feet,  and  triumphantly 
exclaim  "One  small  step  for 
mankind".  Although  assisted  by 
these  props, 

The  system  which  allowed  Nan 
to  make  history,  although  still  in  its 
experimental  stage,  will  soon  be 
miniaturized  and  customized.  It 
was  made  up  of  some  30 
electrodes  and  sensors  taped  to 
the  major  muscle  groups  in  Nan's 
legs.  These  electrodes  were  then 
controlled  by  a  personal  computer 
which  fired  carefully  timed 
impulses  to  the  proper  muscles  at 
the  right  time.  The  resulting 
movements  were  crude  and  jerky, 
but  eventual  customization  of  the 
system  will  allow  for  more  fluid 
motion  and  freedom  of 
movement;  thus  better  imitating 
the  brain's  own  natural  electrical 
impulses.

Farewell  M#A#S*H 

For  the  majority  of  the  present 
generation,  the  Korean  War  lasted 
several  years  longer  than  the 
history  books  tell  us,  due  to  the 
unparalleled  success  of  the 
television  series  M*A*S*H.  Since  its 
September  17,  1972  debut, 
M*A*S*H  became  one  of  the 
most  popular  shows  on  television, 
climbing  from  46th  place  in  the 
Nielson  ratings  to  third  place  in 
1983. 

Over  the  course  of  its  1 1  year 
run,  M*A*S*H  won  14  Emmy 
awards  and  received  99 
nominations.  One  of  the  largest 
television  audiences  ever  was  on 
hand  to  witness  the  series'  final 
two  and  one-half  hour  episode, 
during  which  the  Korean  War 
finally  came  to  an  end.  With  the 
passing  of  M*A*S*H,  an  artistic 
and  creative  era  in  American 
television  came  to  an  end  as  well. 


NFL  strike 


At  the  start  of  the  third  week  of 
the  National  Football  League's 
season,  fans  who  sat  down  to 
watch  a  game  between  the 
Kansas  City  Chiefs  and  the  Atlanta 
Falcons  were  treated  instead  to  a 
bitter  disappointment,  one  that 
would  last  57  days.  No,  it  was  not 
a  surprise  season  of  rain,  which 
many  would  have  preferred,  but  a 
strike  by  the  NFL  Players' 
Association. 

One  group  of  people  that  were 
happy  to  see  the  strike  were  the 
owners  and  the  players  of  the 
newly  formed  United  States 
Football  League,  which  began  its 
infant  season  this  year.  With 
publicity  from  such  players  as 
Heisman  Trophy  winner  Herschel 
Walker,  and  wide  receivers  Dan 
Ross  (a  former  Husky)  and  Chris 
Collingsworth,  who  all  signed  USFL 
contracts,  the  new  league  was 
able  to  use  the  strike  to  its 
advantage.  After  managing  to

Cftgo  lives! 


Its  red,  white  and  blue  neon  lit 
up  the  skies  over  Boston  for  years. 


and  served  as  an  easily 
identifiable  landmark  to  aid 
beleagured  travelers  in  their 
attempt  to  negotiate  Boston's 
winding  roadways.  Presiding  over 
Kenmore  Square,  and  welcoming 
Red  Sox  fans  to  Fenway  Park,  the 
sign  advertising  Citgo,  (Cities 
Services  trademark)  almost 
became  a  victim  of  progress  as 
the  Cities  Service  company 
decided  to  dismantle  the  sign.  The 
company  had,  at  the  request  of 
Governor  Ed  King,  turned  the  sign 
off  in  1979,  and  it  had  been 
deteriorating  ever  since. 

When  wreckers  arrived  in 
November  to  tear  the  sign  down, 
they  were  halted  by  a  group  of 
Bostonians  who  claimed  the  sign 
was  an  excellent  example  of 
urban  neon  art.  They  asked  the 
Boston  landmarks  commission  to 
declare  that  the  structure  be 
preserved,  and  on  January  11, 
1983,  they  did  just  that.  Arthur 
Krim,  a  consultant  to  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society 
was  pleased  with  the  decision, 
and  stated  "This  sign  is  also  part 
of  the  heritage  that  makes  Boston 
an  interesting  place  to  be." 


Boston  Herald  revived 

The  Boston  Herald  American 
almost  didn't  survive  1982,  and  it 
took  Rupert  Murdoch  to  rescue 
the  dying  newspaper.  Murdoch, 
an  Australian  publisher  who  is  best 
known  in  the  U.S.  for  his 
publication  of  the  New  York  Post, 
pledged  to  invest  $15  million  in  the 
Herald.  The  Hearst  Corporation, 
former  owners  of  the  Herald,  were 
unable  to  compete  successfully 
with  its  rival,  the  Boston  Globe. 
The  Globe's  circulation  was 
approximately  510,000,  whereas 
the  Herald's  stood  at  238,000  at 
the  time  of  the  bail-out.  Murdoch 
purchased  the  paper  for  only  $1 
million  and  up  to  $7  million  in 
future  profits  was  also  to  be  given 
to  Hearst  Corp. 

The  Australian-born  publisher  is 
also  known  for  his  publications  of 
the  London  Sun  Times,  and  has 
enjoyed  success  with  his  racy 
tabloid  format  with  its  emphasis  on 
sex  and  crime.  The  sale  of  the 
Herald  keeps  Boston,  from 
becoming  the  biggest  city  with 
only  one  major  newspaper.

Marine  massacre 

Early  one  October  morning,  as 
U.S.  Marines,  part  of  a  multi- 
national peace-keeping  force  in 
Lebanon,  slept  in  their  barracks,  a 
lone  suicide  truck  driver  drove  his 
explosive-laden  vehicle  into  the 
building,  creating  an  explosion 
that  left  some  240  Americans 
dead,  and  countless  others 
injured. 

The  driver,  apparently 
unhindered  by  guard  booths, 
drove  his  truck  through  the 
concrete  barriers  surrounding  the 
complex.    Cpl.    Eddie 
DiFranco,  on  guard  duty  that 
morning,  remembers:  "He  (the 
driver)  looked  right  at  me.  .  . 
smiled,  that's  it  ...  I  kind  of  stared 
for  a  couple  of  seconds,  then 
started  to  load  my  weapon.  I  got 
a  round  in  the  chamber  after  the 
truck  was  already  through  the 
gate.  There  wasn't  much 
difference  for  that  truck  going 
that  speed  ..." 

President  Reagan  went  on 
national  television  to  state  that 
the  responsibility  was  his  for  the 
deaths  of  the  Marines,  as  people 
began  to  wonder  how  it  was 
possible  that  our  troops  could 


have  been  caught  by  surprise. 
Concern  over  the  role  of  our 
troops  began  to  escalate,  and 
calls  for  their  withdrawal  were 
issued  in  Congress.  An  Islamic 
group  with  ties  to  Iran  claimed 
credit  for  the  attack,  and  warned 
that  many  similar  attacks  would 
take  place  if  U.S.  forces  were  not 
gone  by  New  Year's  Day. 

Tsongas  retires 

Following  a  meeting  shrouded  in 
secrecy  between  Senator  Paul  E. 
Tsongas  and  a  group  of  his  most 
loyal  supporters,  the  respected 
liberal  spokesman  announced  that 
he  would  not  be  seeking  re- 
election to  a  second  six  year  term 
in  the  Senate.  Citing  the  discovery 
three  months  earlier  that  he 
suffered  from  a  form  of  lymph 
node  cancer,  Tsongas  decided  to 
withdraw  from  the  race.  Despite 
the  fact  that  the  illness  is  not 
necessarily  life  threatening,  nor 
would  it  prevent  him  from  serving 
another  term,  Tsongas  noted  that 
the  disease  "forces  me  to 
consider  my  deepest 
responsibilities,  and  those 
responsibilities  are  to  my  family." 

Tsongas,  his  wife,  and  three 
daughters  will  return  to  their  home 
in  Lowell,  where  the  liberal 
Democrat  began  his  political 
career  as  a  city  councilman. 
Tsongas  was  one  of  the  pioneers 
of  the  'new  liberalism'  showing  as 
he  said,  that  "you  can  be  a  liberal 
Democrat  and  care  about 
economics — that  profit  is  not  a 
dirty  word." 

At  least  half  a  dozen  Democrats 
may  vie  for  Tsongas'  vacated 
post,  among  them  being 
Congressman  Edward  Markey,  and 
James  Shannon. 


Invasion:  Grenada 

Seven  weeks  after  U.S.  Navy 
Seals  overthrew  the  island's  Marxist 
dictatorship,  all  but  a  token  force 
of  300  miltary  police  and  support 
troops  were  boarding  C-141 
transport  planes  to  return  to  the 
U.S.  The  small  policing  force, 
coupled  with  the  396  member 
Caribbean  peace-keeping  force 
remained  behind  in  an  attempt  to 
restore  some  sense  of  order  to  the 
small  island's  110,000  inhabitants. 

In  a  surprise  move,  the  U.S.  had 
decided  guickly  to  respond 
militarily  in  Grenada  after  receiving 
a  request  from  an  association  of 
Caribbean  states  to  do  so. 
Caribbean  leaders  were 
concerned  over  the  recent 
bloody  coup  that  had  occurred, 
and  the  presence  of  Cuban 
military  personnel  on  the  island. 
Citing  a  potential  threat  to  peace 
in  the  Caribbean,  President 
Reagan  ordered  the  invasion 
which  succeeded  in  ousting  the 
radical  Marxist  government  that 
had  only  weeks  before  staged  a 
bloody  coup  that  left  the  island's 
Marxist  leader  Maurice  Bishop 
dead. 

After  the  invasion,  it  was 
evident  that  most  Grenadians 
welcomed  the  U.S.  intervention.  A 
former  Grenadian  legislator 
Winston  Whyte  stated  that  "We 
are  lucky  the  Americans  gave  us 
a  second  chance.  We've  got  to 
make  it  work."  Approximately  200 
U.S.  citizens  were  rescued,  as 
Reagan  stated  that  he  wanted  to 
avoid  another  hostage  situation. 
The  200  students,  enrolled  at  the 
St.  George  Medical  School,  were 
flown  out  soon  after  the  initial 
invasion,  amidst  Cuban  gunfire.

Russians  down  jet 

On  Wednesday,  September  7, 
1983,  Korean  Airlines  Flight  007 
was  shot  down  by  Soviet  aircraft 
near  Sakhalin  Island  off  the  coast 
of  the  U.S. S.R.  All  aboard,  269 
passengers  and  crew  including  61 
American  citizens,  perished  when 
the  jet  crashed  into  the  Sea  of 
Japan. 

Initial  reports  from  Russia  stated 
the  aircraft  had  entered  Soviet 
airspace.  There  was  a  warning, 
then  an  attempt  to  lead  it  back 
into  open  territory.  But  there  was 
a  crasl\as  it  was  leaving  Russian

that  Flight  007  was  approximately 
230  miles  off  course,  reporting 
their  position  as  115  miles  south  of 
the  island  of  Hokkaido  when  they 
were  actually  115  miles  north  of 
the  site  Soviet  officials  lodged 
claims  of  covert  espionage  action 
against  the  flight,  insinuating  that 
there  was  photographing  of  Soviet 
military  installations  taking  place 
from  the  plane.  It  was  said  that 
the  U.S.  government  was  to  blame 
for  using  civilian  aircraft  and  the 
U.S. S.R.  had  simply  defended  itself. 
These  charges  were  never 
substantiated. 

The  aircraft  broke  upon  contact 
with  the  sea,  leaving  an  oil  slick 
and  some  small  wreckage  to  mark 
its  grave.  During  the  next  few 
days,  as  Russian  ships  and  planes 
combed  the  area  for  wreckage  or 
bodies,  little  was  found. 

But  gradually,  bits  and  pieces 
washed  ashore  on  Japanese 
coasts.  A  wing  section,  one 
passenger's  ID  card,  shoes,  and 
several  pieces  of  the  doomed 
aircraft  eventually  were  salvaged. 
But  no  bodies  were  ever  found, 
and  more  importantly,  the  flight 
recorder  -  the  crucial  black  box  - 


never  came  to  light,  preventing 
any  conclusive  investigation  of  the 
incident. 

One  American  killed  in  the 
disaster  was  Congressman 
Lawrence  P.  MacDonald  of 
Georgia.  Larry  MacDonald  was  a 
staunch  anti-Communist  and 
national  chairman  of  the  John 
Birch  Society.  After  the  crash,  his 
wife  Kathy  claimed  it  had  been  a 
deliberate  assassination.  She 
believed  the  plane  had  been 
forced  into  Russian  territory  and 
shot  down  to  kill  her  husband, 
comparing  it  to  the  attempted 
assassination  of  Pope  Paul  II.  She 
later  ran  for  her  husband's  seat 
but  failed  to  win  enough  support. 

At  that  time,  it  was  believed 
that  this  act  of  apparently 
unprovoked  aggression  against 
unarmed  civilian  aircraft  would 
seriously  damage  Russia  in  the 
world  arena,  but  there  were  few 
lasting  repercussions  for  the  public 
relations  of  the  profoundly 
insecure  U.S. S.R.  It  did  not  improve 
their  image,  but  it  did  not 
damage  it  to  a  point  of 
irreparability.  Unfortunately,  this 
was  cold  comfort  to  the  families 
of  the  269  who  perished  in  the 
fifth  largest  disaster  in  aviation 
history. 

Andropov  dies 

Only  fifteen  months  after  the 
death  of  Soviet  leader  Leonid 
Breshnev,  Yuri  Andropov  finally 
succumbed  to  the  kidney  failure 
which  had  kept  him  out  of  public 
for  176  days. 

When  Andropov  came  into 
power,  little  was  known  about  him 
by  those  outside  of  the  Soviet 
Union,  aside  from  the  fact  that  he 
had  run  the  KGB  secret  police  for 
fifteen  years.  Rumors  had  it  that 
he  liked  jazz,  spoke  English,  had 
opposed  the  invasion  of 


Afghanistan,  and  was  an 
intellectual  who  collected  modern 
art.  Nothing  ever  became  of 
these  conjectures,  however,  as 
Andropov  made  a  point  of 
shielding  his  private  life  from  the 
public. 

Andropov  was  born  in 
Nagutskoye,  southern  Russia,  June 
15,  1914.  The  son  of  a  railroad 
worker,  Andropov  graduated  in 
1936  from  the  Rybinsk  Water 
Transportation  Technicum.  He 
began  his  political  career  in  the 
Communist  party  youth 
organization  Komsomol.  He 
became  a  member  of  the  Central 
Commitee  staff  under  the 
patronship  of  Party  member  Otto 
Kuusinen. 

In  1967,  Andropov  became 
chairman  of  the  KGB,  where  he 
became  closely  linked  to  Leonid 
Breshnev.  After  Breshnev's  death, 
Andropov,  was  elected 
unanimously,  surprising  Party 
member  Chernenko,  who  was  a 
closer  ally  of  Breshnev.  Shortly 
thereafter,  Andropov's  health 
began  to  fail,  as  he  required 
almost  daily  dialysis  treatments. 
Dropping  in  and  out  of  sight  every 
few  weeks  during  February  and 
March  of  1983,  Andropov  finally 
died,  paving  the  way  for  his 
successor,  Konstantin  Chernenko.

Fenway  farewell 

It  has  been  said  that  a  man  is 
happiest  when  he  does  what  he 
truly  enjoys  where  he  most  wants 
to  do  it.  If  so,  then  Carl  Yaztremski 
is  indeed  the  happiest  man  in 
Boston  sports  history. 

For  23  years  (longer  than  any 
other  player  in  baseball's  104  year 
lineage)  he  parlayed  his  "tools" 
into  a  solid,  consistent  string  of 
performances.  Further,  he  played 
these  3,304  games  for  just  one 
team:  The  Boston  Red  Sox.  It 
seems  impossible  that  anyone  will 
ever  match,  let  alone  surpass,  this 
impressive  record. 

During  his  tenure,  Yaz  did  not 
display  any  particular  swiftness 
or  the  blessing  of  a  great  arm. 
However,  he  received  seven  Gold 
Gloves  for  defensive  excellence  in 
the  outfield.  His  average  season 
was  .285  with  20  home  runs  and 
81  RBI's,  yet  so  respected  was  Yaz 
that  no  other  American  League 
player  was  ever  walked 
intentionally  more. 

Despite  all  this  acclaim,  there 
were  some  low  points  in  his 
career.  The  early  1970's  were  a 
period  when  almost  everyone 
found  something  to  dislike  about 
Yaz.  He  was  blamed  by  Billy 
Conigliaro  for  his  brother  Tony's 
problems.  Carlton  Fisk  claimed 
that  Reggie  Smith  and  Yaz 
showed  no  leadership.  He  was 
booed  so  frequently,  he  finally 
resorted  to  using  cotton  in  his 
ears.  Yet,  through  it  all  Captain 
Carl  persevered,  leading  in  the 
way  he  felt  most  comfortable. 

At  his  final  game,  September  27, 
1983,  Yaz  reflected  on  the 
milestones  in  his  career — his  first  at 
bat  (April  11,  1961),  his  MVP 
award  (1967),  his  3,000th  hit 
(1979)  and  others.  Only  one  prize 
had  eluded  him:  a  gold  World 


Series  ring.  Still  with  Yaz  as  the 
longest-playing  baseball  player  in 
history,  not  having  the  ring  was 
insignificant  set  up  against  his  long 
list  of  achievements. 

On  that  September  day  as  he 
retired,  the  game  lost  a  true 
gentleman.

age  of  79. 


The  year  of  George  Orwell's 
best  selling  novel,  1984,  has  finally 
come.  Millions  of  people  have 
read  the  book,  and  thousands  are 
crowding  at  the  book  stores  to 
buy  it.  Newspapers,  television 
programs,  songwriters,  and 
commercials,  from  all  over,  are 
talking  about  the  Orwellian  year. 
Some  are  curious  about  its 
publicity,  others  are  disturbed  by 
the  book's  content,  and  still  others 
are  searching  for  a  prophecy  for 
the  future.  But  the  society 
depicted  in  Orwell's  1984  is  not  a 
prediction  of  the  year  1984,  but 
rather  a  vision  of  what  future 
societies  could  be  like,  if  people 
remain  unaware  of  the  power 
behind  politics  and  technology. 

1984  is  the  story  of  Winston 
Smith,  a  man  entrapped  in  a 
totalitarian  society  where  Big 
Brother  reigns,  war  is  peace, 
freedom  is  slavery,  ignorance  is 
strength,  and  two  plus  two  equals 
five. 

Smith  works  in  an  institution 
called  the  Ministry  of  Truth,  which, 
in  actuality,  is  the  Ministry  of  Lies. 
He  rewrites  newspaper  stories, 
history  books,  and  novels  to 
conform  to  current  Party 
ideologies;  removing  all  links  with 
the  past.  He  uses  the  Party's 
official  language,  Newspeak,  a 
reduced  version  of  the  English 
language,  which  eliminates 
unnecessary  adjectives  and 
comparison-like  words,  making  it 
almost  impossible  for  one  to  form 
opinions  on  anything. 

He  has  no  private  life.  Every 
move  he  makes,  both  awake  and 
asleep,  is  observed  by  a  two-way 
telescreen,  featuring  the  eye  of 
Big  Brother.  Posters  are  hung 
everywhere  as  a  reminder:  Big 
Brother  is  Watching  You! 

Even  so,  Smith  defiantly  commits 
a  thoughtcrime.  In  his  diary  he 
writes  "Down  with  Big  Brother'. 
Then  he  has  a  love  affair  with  a 


'.  -,v  '-''"' 


TREXGTH 


Welcome  to  1984 


girl.  The  Party  sees  all  and  is  angry; 
all  loyalty  belongs  to  them!  Smith 
is  taken  away  by  the  Thought 
Police  and  brought  to  an  institution 
called  the  Ministry  of  Love.  Here, 
he  is  tortured  and  his  worst  fear  is 
realized.  To  avoid  further 
punishment,  Smith  betrays  his  lover 
and  professes  all  loyalty  to  Big 
Brother.  The  end:  Smith  is  a  good 
Party  member;  he  loves  Big  Brother 
and  believes  that  without  Big 
Brother,  he  would  not  be  able  to 
survive. 

Some  believe  that  this  story  is  a 
boring,  exaggerated  attempt  to 
describe  a  society  that  will  never 
be.  Others  believe  it  is  a  vicious 
attack  on  the  ideals  of  political 
law  and  order.  But  Orwell  did  not 
expect  his  readers  to  take  the 
story  literally,  but  rather,  to  search 
for  the  message  regarding  the  loss 
of  human  freedom.  In  clarification 
he  wrote, 

"My  recent  novel  is  not 
intended  as  an  attack  on 
Socialism  or  on  the  British  Labor 
Party  .  .  .  but  as  a  showup  of  the 
perversions  to  which  a  centralized 
economy  is  liable  and  which  have 
already  been  realized  in 
Communism  and  Fascism.  I  do  not 
believe  that  the  kind  of  society  I 
describe  necessarily  will  arrive,  but 
I  believe  (allowing  of  course  for 
the  fact  that  the  book  is  satire) 
that  something  resembling  it  could 
arrive." 

What  provoked  Orwell  to  hold 
such  negative  attitudes  towards 
society  and  why  did  he  feel 
compelled  to  present  these 
views?  The  events  of  his  life  (1903- 
1950)  while  traveling  in  and 
around  England  during  a  time  of 
war  and  depression  convinced  him 
that  something  was  terribly  wrong 
with  political  and  economical 
equality.  He  became  obsessed 
with  the  idea  that  a  social  change 
was  needed  in  order  to  preserve 


human  individuality.  Yet  he  was 
not  absolutely  certain  of  the 
correct  route  to  make  that 
change.  He  knew  he  hated 
totalitarianism  and  Communism 
and  that  the  search  for  that 
"perfect  society"  was  necessary. 
He  became  sort  of  a 
pamphleteer,  writing  many  essays 
and  novels,  (including  Aminai  Farm 
and  Down  and  Out  in  Paris  and 
London)  dedicating  himself  to  that 
cause.  He  became  a  biting 
political  writer,  intensifying  most  of 
his  works  with  the  feeling  that 
modern  man  lacks  the  ability  to 
cope  with  technological  advances 
in  an  unstable  political  world. 

These  were  the  issues  in  1948 
just  as  they  are  the  issues  today. 
There  are  satellites  in  space  that 
can  read  the  license  plate  on  a 
car.  Society  is  becoming  more 
and  more  computer  oriented,  with 
computers  that  can  tap  into  our 
telephones  and  into  our  televisions. 
Cable  television  has  become  a 
prominent  part  of  the  American 
life. 

We  know  of  politicians  who 
have  deceived  us,  and  we  swear 
some  talk  in  the  Orwellian 
"doublethink"  process;  that  is, 
equating  two  opposing  ideas  by 
thinking  the  opposite  of  what  is 
true. 

This  does  not  mean  that  we 
should  start  equating  war  with 
peace  or  start  believing  that  two 
plus  two  equals  five.  George 
Orwell  was  not  a  prophet.  1984  is 
fiction. 

However,  it  does  mean  that  we 
should  educate  ourselves  to  the 
possibility  of  creating  such  a 
society,  while  we're  attempting  to 
make  our  own  society  more 
perfect  through  political  and 
technological  advances.  1984  is  a 
warning,  one  that  should  be 
listened  to  today  and  tomorrow.

JOHN  MURRAY 


Arizona  Indian  reservation 
provides  co  -  op  with 

Culture  shock 


An  Indian  reservation  in  Arizona  .  .  .  now  that  would  be  an  interesting 
setting  for  a  co-op  job.  That  is  exactly  what  John  Murray,  a  nursing 
senior,  thought  when  he  pursued  the  idea  for  winter  quarter,  1983. 

The  reservation  is  federally  funded  so  he  had  to  get  the  job  through 
the  government  instead  of  the  co-op  office  And  if  you  think  that  co- 
op has  a  lot  of  paperwork,  then  you  haven't  dealt  with  Uncle  Sam! 

When  John  found  out  that  he  got  the  job.  he  was  responsible  for 
getting  to  Arizona,  but  once  there  he  was  reimbursed  for  travel 
expenses,  and  given  a  place  to  live  with  all  of  his  food  provided  by 
the  government. 

The  health  services  for  the  Indians  were  federally  funded  so  the  clinic 
where  John  worked  was  very  busy,  usually  more  than  200  people  a 
day.  Many  patients  walked  for  hours  just  to  get  to  the  clinic,  and  for 
those  who  could  not,  or  needed  monitoring,  house  calls  were  made. 

On  the  job,  John  pulled  patients'  charts,  assessed  their  conditions, 
drew  blood,  and  dispensed  medicines  But,  he  found  that  the  most 
interesting  part  of  the  job  was  the  different  culture  in  which  he  lived 

At  first,  he  was  treated  as  an  outcast.  The  Indians  treated  him  this 
way,  to  test  him,  not  wanting  to  expose  him  to  their  culture  until  they 
trusted  him.  Once  he  was  accepted,  they  invited  him  to  dinner,  to 
ceremonies,  to  watch  the  medicine  man  at  work,  and  they  explained 
to  him  what  their  culture  was  all  about.  To  help  make  him  feel  a  part 
of  the  group,  they  gave  him  an  Indian  name.  Great  Blue  Eyes  is  how 
they  will  remember  him  (all  Indians  have  brown  eyes.) 

He  found  the  Indians  to  be  very  different  from  the  stereotypes  many 
people  have  about  them:  being  alcoholics  and  disliking  white  men.  On 
the  contrary,  once  trusted,  white  men  are  appreciated  for  the  help 
that  they  are  providing. 

The  unemployment  rate  among  the  Indian  population  is  extremely 
high,  approximately  96%.  This  is  due  to  the  lack  of  opportunity  and  low 
living  standards  that  these  people  are  forced  to  contend  with.  The 
community  generally  consists  of  one  grocery  store,  a  post  office,  and 
two  gas  stations.  There  are  not  many  jobs  available.  The  clinic  is  run  by 
the  government,  and  does  not  offer  jobs  to  the  Indians.  Most  Indians 
are  farmers  and  raise  much  of  their  own  food.  Their  home  grown  diet 
has  less  variety  than  most  of  the  rest  of  us  are  used  to,  consisting 
mainly  of  corn,  potatoes,  fried  bread,  sheep,  cows  and  chickens.  They 
make  their  own  clothes,  and  also  make  items  like  dolls,  rugs  and  sand 
paintings  to  take  to  a  trading  post  where  they  exchange  these  items 
for  food. 

Many  of  the  older  Indians  still  practice  the  accepted  Indian  tradition 
of  polygamy,  although  the  younger  generation   is  getting  away  from 


this  practice.  Many  of  the  families  live  in  hogans:  mud  houses  with 
thatched  roofs. 

John  said  that  he  noticed  one  of  the  major  differences  in  lifestyle 
while  he  was  standing  in  line  at  the  grocery  store.  He  stood  in  line  for 
what  seemed  forever  and  yet  he  was  the  only  one  that  was  frustrated 
by  it.  The  Indian  lifestyle  is  very  slow  paced,  and  very  relaxed,  which 
John  feels  is  evidenced  by  their  generally  better  health.  There  are  very 
few  problems  with  hypertension,  stress,  and  heart  attacks,  which  occur 
only  because  of  old  age  or  other  related  illnesses.  It  took  a  while  to 
get  used  to  the  slow  pace,  but  John  later  found  the  relaxation  very 
enjoyable,  much  like  a  vacation.  He  had  to  make  a  major  re- 
adjustment when  he  returned  to  the  fast  pace  from  which  he  had 
come. 

There  were  not  many  social  activities  on  the  reservation,  which 
posed  a  problem.  The  Indians  had  one  movie  a  month,  and  other  than 
that,  it  was  a  two  hour  drive  to  anywhere.  John  did,  however,  get  a 
chance  to  go  skiing  in  Colorado  one  weekend. 

Communicating  with  the  Indians  was  often  very  difficult.  More  than 
70%  of  the  patients  over  50  years  did  not  speak  any  English.  John  was 
able  to  learn  a  few  basic  words  of  their  language,  and  had  the 
assistance  of  a  translator  when  necessary. 

John  said  that  there  were  "more  people  less  compliant  to  new 
treatments"  and  still  rely  on  the  medicine  man.  Some  of  these  people 
would  come  to  the  the  clinic  but  not  follow  up  by  taking  the  proper 
medication.  Trying  to  inform  them  of  new  treatments  was  often 
unsuccessful  because  they  would  agree  to  the  treatments  while  in  the 
clinic,  but  went  back  to  their  own  Indian  treatments  soon  afterward. 

Overall,  John  felt  that  his  co-op  was  very  beneficial,  as  were  all  of  his 
other  jobs.  He  sees  co-op  as  providing  nurses  with  more  knowledge 
than  many  graduate  nurses  from  other  schools.  Whatever  his  decision, 
John  felt  that  co-op  was  well  worth  his  time.  "I  wouldn't  be  as 
confident  in  myself  and  accept  as  many  responsibilities  if  it  had  not 
been  for  co-op." 


HANK  HYRNEWICZ 


The  right  place  at  the  right 
time  meant  a  co-op  on  the 

Lobster  shift 


"I  was  there  at  the  right  time."  Hank  Hyrniewicz  said  that  part  of  the 
eason  he  was  able  to  secure  the  now-obsolete  position  of  co-op 
writer  at  the  Boston  Globe  was  being  in  the  right  place  at  the  right 
rime. 

Hank  started  at  the  Globe  as  shuttle  driver  and  messenger.  He  also 
answered  phones  and  took  messages  before  moving  up  to  a  job  at 
Ifie  State  House  Bureau,  which  again  was  a  lot  of  errand  running.  He 
said  that  it  was  during  this  time  that  he  got  a  chance  to  prove  himself 
and  get  the  job  of  reporter. 

The  opportunity  to  become  a  reporter  came  in  July  of  1981  and  he 
started  part  time,  working  weekend  nights  while  in  school. 

The  average  night  would  begin  for  Hank  with  the  1 1  o'clock  news  to 
see  what  stories  were  developing.  He'd  talk  to  reporters  on  their  way 
Dut  and  find  out  which  stories  needed  to  be  finished,  getting  names 
and  numbers  of  people  to  be  called.  Every  night  they  called  area 
aolice  stations  for  information  on  breaking  stories.  Then  Hank  and  a 


photographer  would  get  into  a  car  with  police  and  fire  radios  and 
drive  around,  checking  out  anything  that  sounded  newsworthy. 

Working  the  midnight  to  8:00  a.m.  shift  had  its  own  characteristics: 
"There's  only  the  bad  news  really.  You  learn  a  lot.  You  learn  more  than 
you  ever  could  in  a  classroom." 

Hank's  biggest  story  was  covering  the  Lynn  fire.  "That  was  the 
biggest  fire  that  will  be  ...  as  far  as  I  can  see  in  the  next  ten  years  .  . 
.  I  saw  many  things  ..."  One  of  the  things  that  impressed  him  most 
was  watching  a  fire  truck  with  three  hoses  coming  from  it.  Hank  said, 
"The  flames  were  so  hot  that  they  had  to  use  two  of  the  hoses  to 
shoot  at  the  fire  engine  to  keep  it  cool  enough  so  that  nothing  would 
happen  to  it." 

The  problem  with  doing  stories  on  fires,  shootings,  and  other 
traumatic  instances  was  trying  to  get  quotes  from  the  people  involved. 

"They  don't  want  to  talk  to  you  ...  it  was  rough".  In  one  instance 
he  was  assigned  the  unpleasant  task  of  interviewing  a  South  Boston 
fireman  who  had  gone  to  a  fire  only  to  find  it  was  his  house  and  that 
he  had  to  save  his  wife  and  four  children.  Hank  was  sent  back  to  the 
the  scene  to  get  some  direct  quotes  from  the  fireman,  not  exactly 
sure  where  the  fireman  was  staying. 

"At  5:30  in  the  morning  Hank  Hyrniewicz  is  walking  through  South 
Boston  ringing  doorbells  saying  Hi,  this  is  Hank  Hyrniewicz  from  the 
Globe."  (According  to  Hank.  South  Boston  HATES  the  Globe).  He  found 
the  fireman,  who  told  Hank  he  did  NOT  want  to  speak  with  him.  He 
managed  to  persuade  the  man  to  talk  a  little,  but  Hank  said  "I 
wouldn't  have  blamed  him  if  he  hadn't." 

As  for  the  people  he  worked  with.  Hank  felt  that  they  were  very 
helpful  and  supportive  of  him.  The  midnight  shift,  or  "lobster  shift,"  "was 
unique",  as  Hank  said,  dnd  they  "all  stood  up  for  each  other".  Hank 
said  both  city  desk  editors,  Jim  Ayres  and  Bob  Ward,  were  great  to 
work  for. 

"I  had  no  idea  what  I  was  getting  into  when  I  took  the  job."  He  said 
he  was  helped  most  by  Dan  Sheehan,  one  of  the  more  experienced 
photographers.  Because  he  knew  who  to  get  the  good  quotes  from, 
and  which  stories  were  really  worth  going  after  when  they  came  over 
the  radio.  "He  knew  the  ins  and  outs  .  .  .  and  places  you  could  go  at 
three  in  the  morning  and  get  something  to  eat". 

Hank  discovered  the  difference  between  journalism  in  the  classroom 
and  journalism  in  the  field  during  his  first  night  on  the  job.  At  about  5:30 
a.m.  a  local  radio  newsman  called  in  to  ask  "What  happened  last 
night?"  (NU  students  keep  everything  to  themselves.)  When  Hank 
refused  to  give  the  newsman  the  info,  he  was  quickly  initiated  to  the 
way  things  are  done  when  out  of  the  classroom.  The  other  reporters 
and  newsmen  as  a  rule  were  helpful  to  Hank  as  well,  telling  him  who  to 
trust  for  information  and  who  not  to  trust. 

He  left  the  Globe  because  of  the  change  in  job  descriptions  (writing 
positions  are  not  availabe  anymore)  and  because  he  felt  that  he'd 
been  there  long  enough.  The  midnight  shift  has  many  of  the  same  type 
of  stories  over  and  over  again.  He  found  himself  "formula  writing". 

Due  to  his  expeience  at  the  Globe,  Hank  was  able  to  handle  his  new 
job  as  editor  of  a  newsletter  for  Defense  Contracts  Administration 
Services  Region.  He  does  all  of  the  writing,  takes  all  the  pictures,  and 
does  all  of  the  layout.  It's  a  different  style  of  work,  what  people  at  the 
Globe  would  refer  to  as  "soft  stuff,"  or  "cream-puff  journalism".  He 
enjoys  the  job  and  has  been  offered  a  position  there  after  graduation. 
He  plans  to  take  it. 

Wherever  he  goes  from  here  in  his  career.  Hank  believes  his 
experience  at  the  Globe  has  been  invaluable.  "As  far  as  writing  goes,  I 
learned  it  all  the  Globe". 


JOANN  SANTANGELO 


Working  with  kids  made 
Joann  favor 

Total  care 


"The  Shriner's  is  like  a  family.  It  is  a  small  hospital  so  all  of  the 
employees  know  each  other.  The  doctors  talked  to  me  on  an 
employer-employee  relationship — not  down  to  me,  like  a  student. 
Everyone  there  gives  constant  positive  reinforcement  making  everyone 
feel  needed  and  part  of  the  team."  said  Joann  Santangelo  of  her  co- 
op with  Shriner's  Burn  Institute.  Boston. 

She  said  she  took  the  job  because  she  likes  working  with  children 
and  it  gave  her  a  chance  to  work  in  a  specialized  area  most  hospitals 
are  not  equipped  for. 

Joann  liked  the  small  hospital  because  she  was  responsible  for  the 
total  welfare  of  four  patients— from  the  time  they  entered  the  hospital 
until  they  were  released.  Joann  prefers  the  "total  care"  approach 
because  she  feels  it  is  better  for  children  than  the  "assembly  line" 
approach  of  larger  hospitals. 

Her  responsibilities  included  changing  her  patients'  dressings, 
supervising  when  they  went  outside  to  play,  and  to  supervise  their  daily 
activities.  She  said  she  enjoyed  being  able  to  work  independently  while 
still  feeling  like  part  of  a  team. 

Another  aspect  of  total  care,  required  that  Joann  attend  the 
psychological  and  emotional  needs  of  her  patients.  And  some 
interactions  with  parents  were  complicated.  Especially  in  cases 
involving  abuse  or  divorced  parents. 

Joann  worked  in  the  reconstructive  unit  of  the  hospital,  where  the 
children  return  frequently  for  more  surgery.  This  is  particularly  difficult  for 
children,  Joann  said,  because  it  takes  several  operations  to  complete 
skin  grafts  and  the  intermediate  stages  are  not  pretty.  So  just  as  a 
patient  grew  accustomed  to  how  the  afflicted  area  looked,  they  had 


to  return  for  more  surgery  and  change  the  appearance  again. 

Joann  said,  initially,  it  was  hard  to  look  at  the  kids  as  people  rather 
than  cases,  but  the  "kids  make  you  look  through  their  outer  coverings 
to  their  insides  .  .  .  they  have  so  much  determination  and  esteem  for 
themselves  that  they  aren't  going  to  let  anything  get  them  down." 

The  Shriner's  helped  Joann  with  her  personal  growth  as  well.  She  says 
she  can  now  empathize  with  people.  She  can  "sit  back  and  really 
feel"  for  them.  She  has  seen  through  her  patients  what  it  is  like  to  be 
"different"  and  how  they  live  with  their  injuries  and  go  on  with  their 
lives. 

She  said  she  enjoys  nursing  because  she  can  work  independently 
with  people  and  help  them.  She  is  a  real  co-op  advocate. 

"Co-op  is  the  best  thing  Northeastern  has  to  offer.  Clinical  isn't 
enough  because  it  limits  the  student  to  one  patient.  Then  when  they 
get  six  or  seven  as  a  real  nurse  they  can't  handle  it."  She  said  she's 
seen  this  happen  to  graduates  of  other  colleges. 

Joann  is  not  altogether  sure  of  her  future  but  says  she  can  see 
herself  working  with  kids  or  possibly  in  the  emergency  room. 


JEFFREY  BEATON 


Vluch  of  this  manufacturing 
3ngineer's  work  labeled:

Top  secret" 


Jeffrey  Beaton  has  worked  at  GTE  Government  Systems  Division  in 
Meedham  since  January,  1983.  Jeff  became  interested  in  working  at 
3TE  when  a  relative  explained  some  of  the  vast  engineering 
opportunities  available.  Subsequently,  Jeff  interviewed  with  GTE  and 
«vas  offered  a  job  as  a  manufacturing  engineer. 

Jeff  presently  is  involved  in  several  projects  but  spends  most  of  his 
time  on  independent  research  and  development  (updating  present 
technologies).  Therefore,  Jeff  has  access  to  a  budget  to  which  he  can 


charge  time,  the  manufacturing  of  small  test  equipment,  and  the 
purchase  of  necessary  equipment.  GTE  Government  Systems  Division  in 
Needham  deals  mainly  with  government  and  Department  of  Defense 
contracts.  Due  to  the  sensitivity  of  some  of  these  matters,  various 
levels  of  security  are  maintained  to  protect  classified  information.  Jeff  is 
involved  in  the  area  of  Secure  Systems  Engineering  which  is  vital  to  the 
protection  of  defense  projects  such  as  the  MX  missile. 

In  times  of  unrest  concerning  large  amounts  of  funds  being 
delegated  to  defense  spending,  how  does  Jeff  feel  about  his  fellow 
students  vocalizing  their  concern?  "Not  long  ago  protestors  poured 
animal  blood  on  the  front  steps  of  a  local  GTE  plant,  because  of  the 
company's  military  involvement.  I  can  sympathize  with  their  beliefs, 
even  though  I  don't  share  those  beliefs  .  .  .  These  funds  provide  jobs 
for  thousands  of  people  while  providing  for  the  safety  of  our  country." 

Jeff  also  has  praise  for  the  cooperative  education  system.  "The 
classroom  supports  the  work,  and  the  work  supports  the  classroom. 
Many  times  I  learned  procedures  at  work  before  seeing  them  in  the 
classroom.  In  fact,  work  at  GTE  has  helped  me  gain  valuable 
experience  while  improving  my  confidence,  credibility,  and  technical 
skills.  Key  factors  in  a  positive  experience  are  your  supervisor's 
willingness  to  give  his/her  own  time.  Working  at  GTE,  I  am  treated  as  a 
full-time  engineer,  I  am  allowed  to  work  in  an  independent  manner 
while  being  surrounded  by  friendly,  supportive,  and  professional 
people." 

Throughout  our  college  careers  here  at  Northeastern,  we  become 
aware  of  some  of  the  flaws  in  the  cooperative  education  program. 
However,  when  the  program  works,  it  can  be  extremely  beneficial  to 
the  student.  Jeff  is  a  prime  example  of  cooperative  education  that 
works. 


MAUREEN  DOW 


P.E.  major  helps  blind 
learn  to  ski,  improve 

Self  image 

When  Maureen  Dow,  a  physical  education  major,  finished  a  co-op 
assignment  as  director  of  the  blind  skiing  program  at  Smugglers 
Notch  in  Vermont,  she  received  "letters  upon  letters  from  students 
who  appreciated  me  helping  them,"  she  said.  "Being  able  to  ski 
gives  blind  people  a  better  self  image  of  themselves.  They  get  the 
feeling  of  doing  something  that  sighted  people  can  do." 

One  of  Dow's  students  is  going  to  be  in  an  Olympics  competition 
for  blind  athletes  in  1984.  "He  didn't  know  how  to  ski  when  he 
started  the  program  and  he  only  had  one  week's  worth  of  lessons.  I 
didn't  think  that  he  would  learn  to  ski  in  only  one  week,"  she  said. 

Dow  heard  about  the  program  when  she  was  attending  a  ski 
instructors'  program  at  Killington,  VT.  "I  like  working  with 
handicapped  people  and  thought  that  the  program  sounded 
interesting,"  she  said.  About  30  to  40  students,  ages  12  to  59, 
attended  the  program  at  Smugglers  Notch.  Seven  of  them  had 
never  skied  before.  To  learn  to  teach  the  blind  how  to  ski,  Dow 
skied  blindfolded  and  then  helped  instructors  ski  blindfolded. 

As  director  of  the  program.  Dow  kept  finance  records,  instructed 
students,  and  trained  guides  to  instruct  students.  She  lived  "on  the 


mountain,  in  the  mountain,  in  the  village,  and  just  about  everywhere 
else  around  there,"  she  said. 

Dow's  next  co-op  will  be  working  for  a  handicap  ski  program  in 
Winter  Park,  Colorado.  It  is  the  only  existing  ski  program  for  people 
with  all  types  of  handicaps.  There  are  blind  people  as  well  as 
amputees,  paraplegics,  and  deaf  people,"  she  said.  Dow  would 
eventually  like  to  bring  this  type  of  program  to  New  England.  "There 
is  a  real  need  for  it  here,"  she  said. 

Dow  is  now  a  student  teacher  for  the  Brookline,  MA  school 
system.  She  teaches  students  from  kindergarten  to  eighth  grade. 
Although  she  enjoys  her  work,  Dow's  favorite  aspect  of  the  job  in 
Brookline  is  the  two  days  she  spends  teaching  the  adaptive,  or 
special  needs,  students  there. 

Dow  would  like  to  work  in  a  private  school  with  handicapped 
children  after  she  graduates  from  Northeastern.  "I'm  probably  going 
to  go  to  Connecticut  or  Maine  after  graduation.  Once  I'm  settled 
at  a  school,  I'd  like  to  try  to  start  a  program  like  the  one  at 
Smugglers  Notch.  I  really  learned  a  lot  there,  especially  how  much  it 
means  to  be  responsible,"  she  said. 


DONNA  CARVER 


After  State  House, 
senate  page  plans  a 

Law  career 


Being  able  to  mingle  with  the  law  makers  on  Beacon  Hill  is  a 
dream  of  many  future  politicians,  but  for  Donna  Carver,  a  criminal 
justice  major,  it's  just  a  part  of  her  job. 

Carver,  a  Massachusetts  state  senate  page,  works  out  of  the 
senate  lobby. 

"I  work  for  all  the  senators,"  she  said.  "Although  I'm  basically  a 
runner,  or  what  some  people  would  call  a  gopher,  this  is  something 
I've  always  wanted  to  do." 


Carver  said  she  does  not  have  a  tremendous  amount  of 
responsibility,  but  she  "has  the  opportunity  to  listen  to  the  senators 
debate,  see  how  laws  are  made,  and  how  Massachusetts  functions. 
I  especially  like  meeting  the  people  in  the  legislature,"  she  added. 

During  senate  sessions.  Carver  sits  in  the  senate  chamber. 

"I  get  coffee  or  bills  for  the  senators  and  go  around  for  roll  calls," 
Carver  said. 

Senator  Chester  Atkins,  chairman  of  the  Senate  Ways  and  Means 
Committee,  is  Carver's  sponsor.  She  originally  wrote  to  Atkins  about 
the  page  position  because  he  is  from  her  district. 

"Senator  Atkins  is  very  helpful  to  me.  He  is  always  willing  to  help 
me  pursue  my  career,"  she  said. 

Carver  works  at  the  State  House  to  form  contracts  and  learn 
about  legislation.  She  plans  to  attend  law  school  after  she 
graduates  from  Northeastern. 

"All  of  the  pages  are  in  the  same  boat.  They  are  either  in  law 
school  or  law  school-bound  so  we  have  a  lot  in  common,"  said 
Carver. 

Carver  will  continue  to  work  part  time  at  the  State  House  before 
graduation  and  possibly  full  time  after  graduation. 

"It's  a  job  I'll  keep  for  a  while,"  she  said.  Her  previous  co-op 
positions  were  in  an  attorney's  office  in  her  hometown  of 
Marlborough,  Mass.,  the  office  of  the  vice  president  for  public  affairs 
at  Northeastern,  and  a  corporate  law  firm  in  downtown  Boston. 

She  also  is  a  resident  assistant  at  White  Hall  Dormitory. 

"I  was  told  by  the  court  officers  that  being  a  senate  page  is  not 
what  the  real  world  is  like.  They  said,  'You're  not  going  to  find  a  job 
this  simple  after  you  graduate.'  But  I  think  that  this  job  has  helped 
me  deal  with  everyday  life.  I'm  interested  in  politics  and  would  like 
to  hold  public  office  someday.  Working  here  has  been  a  really 
good  experience  for  me,"  she  said. 


MUN-FAI  LEUNG 


Industry  research 
results  in  product 

Improvement 


Being  on  co-op  in  a  faraway  place  can  be  an  exciting  experience 
but  often  a  culture  shock,  as  some  Northeastern  students  have 
discovered.  For  Mun-Fai  Leung,  however,  co-op  in  a  foreign  country 
was  not  much  of  a  problem.  Leung,  a  medical  technology  major, 
originally  from  Hong  Kong,  had  been  going  to  school  in  a  foreign 
country  for  over  a  year  before  he  went  on  co-op. 

"I  started  as  a  January  freshman  so  I  had  to  go  to  school  for  five 
quarters  before  going  on  co-op."  said  Leung. 

In  January  1982,  Leung  began  working  for  Corning  Medical  and 
Scientific,  Walpole.  in  cell  culture  research  where  he  had  his  own  part 
in  development  of  a  new  product.  He  helped  develop  a  kit  which 
could  identify  isoenzymes  extracted  from  cells,  thus  determining  what 
type  of  cells  they  were.  (This  is  important  in  detecting  contamination  of 
tissue  cultures,  which  are  used  in  many  types  of  scientific  research.) 

"It's  basically  a  Quality  Control  procedure."  said  Leung. 

He  was  responsible  for  the  work  done  on  two  of  the  seven  enzymes 
involved  in  the  kit.  After  the  kit  was  finished,  his  job  evolved  into  a  task 
more  related  to  marketing  aspects  rather  than  development  of  a 
product.  In  order  for  a  test  of  this  type  to  be  valuable  it  must  have  a 
large  data  base.  Leung's  task  was  to  help  expand  the  data  base 
already  existing. 

At  Corning,  Leung  said  he  was  treated  as  a  student  for  only  a  short 
period  of  time.  As  he  proved  himself,  he  was  given  more  and  more 
responsibility.  The  supervisors  gave  him  more  inticate  jobs  "because  my 
technique  was  good,  and  they  knew  the  results  would  be  due  to  the 
assay  and  not  due  to  tech  error." 

The  language  barrier  was  not  as  much  of  a  hindrance  as  one  might 
expect  He  said  there  were  some  written  communication  problems,  but 
"on  the  whole  it  didn't  matter." 

Leung  spent  all  of  his  co-op  terms  at  Corning  and  he  said  that  the 
advantages  of  doing  so  far  outweigh  the  disadvantages.  By  working 
at  the  same  place,  he  was  able  to  learn  his  speciality  in  greater  depth 
than  if  he  were  there  for  just  a  few  months. 

According  to  Leung,  working  in  industry  is  completely  different  from 
working  in  a  clinical  setting.  He  prefers  working  in  industry  because  he 
finds  it  to  be  more  challenging. 

"In  clinical  labs  everything  they  do  is  routine,"  said  Leung. 

The  methods  used  in  a  clinical  lab  have  been  tested  many  times 
before  being  put  into  use  since  patients  are  involved.  This  means  new 
procedures  are  used  very  rarely. 

"Almost  everything  they  do  in  industry  is  new  because  what  they're 
doing  is  researching  to  find  out  new  assays  for  the  clinical  people," 


said  Leung.  Even  after  a  new  assay  has  been  released  there  are 
always  little  changes  to  be  made  to  improve  it. 

Leung  also  said  he  liked  the  industrial  research  lab  better  because 
the  hours  were  better  (no  weekends)  and  the  working  environment 
was  better  with  less  noise  and  activity,  providing  less  distractions  from 
the  experiment. 

The  knowledge  Leung  gained  from  working  in  research  will  help  him 
in  his  future  studies.  Since  he's  a  foreign  student  he  must  go  on  to 
further  education  immediately. 

"I'm  planning  to  go  to  medical  school,  but  not  strict  medical  school.  I 
plan  to  go  in  one  of  those  MD/PhD  programs  because  with  my  co-op 
training  and  my  own  interests,  I  think  I  am  more  scientifically  oriented." 

He  eventually  plans  to  return  to  Hong  Kong,  where  the  medical  care 
is  much  worse  than  in  the  United  States.  He  hopes  to  be  a  teacher  one 
day,  to  do  his  part  to  help  educate  the  people  of  his  country  and 
improve  the  medical  care  there. 

"It's  a  huge  population,  and  I  think  they  deserve  better  medical  care 
than  there  is  now,"  said  Leung. 


JEFF  KNOX 


Kodak  helped  shape 
personal,  professional 

Development 


For  many  of  Northeastern's  students,  working  in  a  co-op  position 
means  answering  telephones,  doing  errands,  and  not  having  a  lot  of 
responsibility  on  the  job.  "You  get  out  of  co-op  what  you  put  into 
it."  said  Jeff  Knox,  a  senior  in  Lincoln  College's  engineering 
technology  program. 

Knox  finished  all  but  one  of  his  cooperative  education  quarters  at 
the  Eastman  Kodak  Company  in  Peabody.  Mass.  He  had  planned  to 
return  to  the  company  for  his  last  co-op  quarter  but  the  company 
decided  to  discontinue  the  cooperative  education  program  at  the 
Peabody  plant.  "I  was  disappointed  when  I  heard  the  news,  but  I 
also  thought  that  I  was  getting  into  a  rut.  I  hadn't  moved  up  at  all 


over  the  years  and  I  didn't  gain  any  more  responsibility  either.  They 
did  send  me  a  letter  which  said  if  they  reinstated  the  co-op 
program  they'd  ask  me  back,"  he  said. 

Although  he  was  unable  to  return  to  Kodak,  Knox  still  believes  his 
experience  was  worthwhile  and  contributed  to  his  personal  and 
professional  growth.  "I  gained  a  lot  of  excellent  practical 
experience  working  for  Kodak.  It  really  taught  me  a  lot  about 
dealing  with  people  and  large  organizations  where  you're  on  the 
bottom  of  the  ladder  and  constantly  trying  to  crawl  up,"  he  said. 

Knox  was  a  junior  engineer  and  plant  draftsman  at  Kodak.  He  did 
plant  layout,  drawing,  equipment  layout,  and  process  and 
production  investigation.  He  was  responsible  for  ordering  materials, 
working  with  vendors  and  contractors,  and  overseeing  jobs  as  they 
were  being  expedited.  "I  mostly  sat  at  the  drafting  board.  I  had  to 
keep  track  of  the  projects  being  worked  on  by  different  engineers 
and  myself."  he  said. 

Knox  also  had  the  opportunity  to  work  with  engineers  from  the 
main  factory  in  Rochester.  The  engineers  were  brought  in  to  set  up 
a  $15  million  new  facility  for  finished  gelatin  processing.  "There  was 
a  lot  of  expensive  equipment  and  new  toys  to  play  with  that 
summer,"  Knox  said. 

Knox  eventually  would  like  to  start  his  own  business  and  to  "find  a 
niche  in  the  marketplace  and  capitalize  on  it,"  he  said.  "I  had 
possible  ambitions  of  going  to  work  for  Eastman  Kodak  in  Rochester 
after  graduation,  but  will  probably  want  to  work  locally." 

When  Knox  chose  to  study  for  a  bachelor  of  mechanical 
engineering  technology  degree  (BET),  it  didn't  surprise  many  people 
who  knew  him.  "I  was  always  told  I'm  mechanically  inclined,"  he 
said. 


PHILLIP  MUGFORD 


Co-op  jobs  confirmed 
need  for  further 

Investigation 


Phillip  R.  Mugford  started  his  co-op  career  with  two  six-month 
terms  as  a  New  Hampshire  cop,  in  different  locations.  With  these  as 
a  background,  he  was  well-prepared  for  his  next  job  as  Criminal 
Investigator  Trainee  in  the  Office  of  Inspector  General  for  the 
Department  of  the  Interior.  This  job  involved  investigating  "white 
collar  crime"  within  the  Department  of  the  Interior  such  as  fraud 
against  the  government,  bribery,  embezzlement,  conflicts  of 
interest,  kickbacks,  and  other  criminal  activities. 

His  first  six  month  stay  was  at  the  main  office  in  Washington,  D.C. 
He  spent  most  of  his  time  in  the  office  learning  the  background  skills 
he  would  need  to  conduct  investigations.  He  began  by  learning  the 
pertinent  statutes  and  policies  he  would  be  following.  He  then 
conducted  record  searches  and  examined  documents  specifically 
involved  with  the  investigations  he  was  observing.  He  also  recorded 
information  from  complaints  and  tips  received  on  the  "hot  line." 

For  his  second  six  month  term  with  the  department,  he  worked 
out  of  the  Portland,  Oregon  office  as  an  investigator.  This  involved 
determining  all  possible  people  connected  with  allegations, 
travelling  to  where  they  were,  and  conducting  interviews.  Since  this 
office  was  responsible  for  the  whole  northwest  region  of  the  US,  this 
meant  excessive  travelling. 

Phillip  said  the  experience  helped  him  confirm  that  he  was  in  the 
right  field  and  said  he  was  encouraged  by  the  investigators  he 
worked  with.  They  were  all  "top  notch  specialists",  he  said,  "with 
years  of  experience  as  ex-FBI  and  IRS  investigators".  He  also  said 
they  were  very  cooperative,  willing  to  help  and  answer  questions 
whenever  necessary,  and  he  was  not  treated  differently  because 
he  was  a  student,  which  he  appreciated. 


Living  in  Oregon  presented  its  own  set  of  challenges.  He  was  met 
at  the  airport  by  some  of  the  investigators  but  had  to  find  a  place 
to  live  on  his  own.  He  found  a  cheap  place  in  one  of  the  "not-so- 
good"  sections  of  town  but  said  he  didn't  mind  the  area  because 
he  was  often  travelling  for  days  or  weeks  at  a  time. 

Phillip  learned  that  it  was  impossible  to  cash  out-of-state  checks, 
especially  that  far  out  of  state.  And  he  discovered  that  most  of  the 
people  in  his  age  group  were  not  college  bound  as  they  are  in 
Boston.  Instead,  they  start  working  directly  out  of  high  school.  He 
found  that  yes,  it's  true  they  get  a  lot  of  rain,  and  "valley  girl  talk" 
is  very  popular.  He  noticed  that  most  of  the  poople  are  taller  out 
there,  especially  the  girls,  which  was  a  big  asset  for  Phillip  because 
he's  6'5". 

Since  his  job  involved  strange  hours  and  lots  of  travelling,  he  didn't 
get  many  opportunities  for  sightseeing.  He  did  get  to  see  Crater 
Lake  in  July  and  was  surprised  to  discover  six  feet  of  snow  there, 
being  one  of  the  last  places  in  the  US  to  melt. 

Overall  Phillip  said  he  liked  his  job  very  much.  He  enjoyed  the 
travelling  and  the  variety  of  cases  he  worked  on.  But  he  would  like 
to  see  his  office  get  more  involved  in  "blue  collar  crime"  which  they 
are,  slowly.  He  is  looking  forward  to  a  job  with  this  office  or 
something  similar. 


PATRICIA  EVANS 


Prospecting  for  steel 
customers  gave  her  a 


Solid  sell 


Patricia  Evans  spent  two  of  her  six  month  co-ops  in  Chicago 
working  for  Carpenter  Tech  Corporation  as  an  inside  salesperson  for 
the  steel  company.  Pat,  who's  originally  from  Washington  DC,  did 
prospecting  for  Carpenter.  She  would  find  new  customers  for  the 
company  and  try  to  build  them  up  to  a  respectable  level  as  far  as 
purchasing.  Pat  would  handle  her  own  customers'  incoming  calls 
and  process  their  orders  for  steel. 

She  would  also  try  to  attract  new  customers  by  first  contacting 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  which  would  provide  her  with  a  list  of 
all  area  businesses.  She  would  then  break  down  that  list  by 
determining  which  companies  might  buy  steel  and  finally  contact 


them  and  sell  them  on  Carpenter. 

"All  in  all,  I  had  about  1000  customers,"  said  Pat. 

Pat's  biggest  sale  was  an  order  for  1.2  million  dollars.  Pat  found  a 
company,  which  had  never  bought  from  Carpenter  because  the 
owner  didn't  think  it  make  the  kind  of  steel  he  wanted.  After  she 
sent  him  a  sample,  he  placed  an  order.  And  because  she  handled 
smaller  sales,  those  less  than  $5000  per  year,  the  company  was 
then  assigned  to  an  outside  salesperson.  After  the  reassignment,  Pat 
said,  the  owner  called  her  boss  to  tell  him  that  Pat's  personable 
manner  had  convinced  him  to  start  buying  from  Carpenter. 

For  her  job,  Pat  had  to  learn  about  steel,  specifically  about  its 
chemistry  and  engineering,  which  she  had  never  been  exposed  to. 
The  training  program,  which  Pat  said  usually  takes  a  month,  took  her 
just  three  weeks. 

Besides  learning  about  marketing,  Pat  said  the  job  helped  her 
overcome  her  shyness.  It  forced  her  to  become  outgoing  and 
confident.  She  also  said  she  was  able  to  apply  what  she  learned  on 
the  job  to  some  of  her  course  work  at  NU. 

Pat  said  the  worst  aspect  of  her  job  was  learning  to  deal  with 
people  who  didn't  want  to  talk  with  her,  who  would  insult  her  or 
hang  up.  Another  difficulty  was  dealing  with  some  of  the  men  in  the 
steel  industry  who  were  unaccustomed  to  talking  with  women.  She 
said  she  had  to  conivnce  some  of  them  that  she  really  was  a 
salesperson. 

In  the  office,  there  was  no  problem,  she  said  she  was  respected 
and  treated  as  a  salesperson.  But,  before  starting  the  job,  Pat  was 
apprehensive  about  how  she  would  be  received.  During  her 
interview  she  said  she  was  asked  about  how  she  would  feel  as  a 
black  working  in  an  office  that  was  entirely  white.  Once  there, 
however,  she  said  she  felt  very  relaxed  and  comfortable. 

Because  of  her  work  at  Carpenter  and  her  other  co-op  jobs,  Pat 
has  found  that  she  likes  sales  but  would  prefer  getting  involved  with 
product  development  and  research.  Her  ultimate  goal  is  to  be  a 
brand  manager  and  take  a  product  from  its  conception,  develop  it, 
apply  it  to  a  group  of  consumers  who  want  or  need  the  product, 
develop  the  advertising  and  introduce  it  into  the  market. 

Pat  said  she  would  like  to  work  for  IBM  where  she  did  her  most 
recent  co-op,  because  of  the  opportunities  it  offers  and  the 
possibility  that  she  would  eventually  be  able  to  get  into  brand 
management. 


vThe  Interview': 
Hints  to  get  that  job 


After  investing  all  the  time  and  money  it 
takes  to  get  a  degree,  standing  in  an 
unemployment  line  can  be  depressing. 
Depression  is  coupled  with  aggravation  for 
the  job  seeking  graduate  if  he  or  she  is  out 
of  work  because  an  interview  went  badly. 

Interviews.  Sometimes  they  seem  like  a 
pinstriped  facade  of  big  words,  fabricated 
resumes,  and  mind  games.  The  thought  of 
being  interviewed  makes  my  palms  sweat. 
They  also  sweat  when  I'm  suspended  over 
a  pit  of  hungry  alligators  who  happen  to 
have  a  strong  dislike  for  unemployed 
graduates.  In  the  world  of  job  seeking  it's 
sink  or  swim.  baby. 

Staying  afloat  during  an  interview  is 
essential  in  pulling  oneself  out  of  the  dark 
abyssal  pit  of  unemployment.  Take  IBM  for 
example.  They  get  over  6.000  applicants 
every  year,  but  they  only  hire  2%  of  that 
number,  according  to  an  IBM  personnel 
manager  (who  was  an  NU  grad).  I'm  sure 
the  remaining  98%  weren't  just  a  bunch  of 
fruit-picking  illegal  aliens.  Most  of  them  are 
probably  just  like  you  and  me.  Maybe  they 
were  better  qualified  then  those  lucky  two 
percenters.  Maybe  they  didn't  get  the  job 
because  they  simply  had  a  bad  interview. 

Most  Northeastern  University  graduates 
have  the  benefit  of  experience  when  it 
comes  to  the  torturous  ordeal  of  "The 
Interview".  Therefore,  most  of  us  know 
when  all  hopes  of  employment  are  shot  to 
hell  and  the  interview  is  going  badly.  . 
You  interview  with  a  newspaper  and  the 
interviewer  asks  what  you  like  about  it  and 
you  cutely  reply.  "The  funnies"  and  he 
doesn't  laugh.  Or  you  tell  the 
representative  from  Raytheon  that  you 
want  the  job  to  support  your  drug  habit. 
He  tells  you  he's  a  Mormon.  The  list  of  bad 
situations  that  arise  during  interviews  is 
endless. 

The  personnel  manager  at  IBM  says  that 
relaxation  is  one  of  the  keys  to  having  a 
good  interview.  "I  look  for  a  certain 
comfort  and  confidence  level  in  an 
applicant."  he  said.  Visibly  nervous 
applicants  may  make  the  interviewer 
uncomfortable.  Also  if  the  position  is  one 
that  requires  contact  with  the  public  or  the 
company's  clientele  a  nervous  candidate 
may  give  the  interviewer  the  impression 
that  the  applicant  would  be  tense  during 
actual  business  situations.  Who  wants 
uptight  employees? 

The  best  way  to  avoid  uptightness  in  an 
interview,  or  at  least  to  boost  one's 
confidence  level,  is  to  remember  the  Boy 
Scout  motto;  Be  prepared.  Sandy  Sokoloff. 
administrative  assistant  for  Northeastern's 
Life  Career  Planning  Department,  said  that 
an  applicant  should  prepare  for  an 
interview  in  two  ways.  First,  she  said,  he  or 
she  should  know  themselves.  Second,  the 
applicant  should  know  about  the  job 
description  and  the  company. 

By  knowing  oneself  Ms.  Sokoloff  means 
that  the  applicant  should  know  what  they 
are  looking  for  in  life,  know  what  goals  and 
values  that  he  or  she  possesses. 

The  personnel  manager  from  IBM  said 
that  he  asks  a  lot  of  whys.  Why  did  you 
major  in  this?  Why  do  you  want  to  work  for 
us?  He  added,  "We're  looking  for  people 
who  have  a  direction  and  an  interest  in 
the  company.  They  don't  have  to  do  a 
research  project  but  the  applicant  should 
at  least  know  the  company's  goals  and 
objectives  A  half  an  hour  in  the  library  will 


give  one  an  understanding  of  the 
company."  In  other  words,  if  the  company 
sells  guns,  don't  talk  butter. 

After  doing  this,  the  potential  employee 
should  articulate  to  the  company's 
representative  that  his  or  her  goals  and 
values  could  easily  mesh  with  the  job's 
requirements  and  the  company  as  a 
whole.  Ms.  Sokoloff  also  notes.  "You  have 
to  remember  also  that  you  are  offering  to 
the  company  or  agency  something  that 
they  need.  It's  a  two-way  street."  (It  also 
helps  to  have  an  uncle  on  the  board  of 
directors.) 

This  all  makes  very  good  sense. 
Someone  who  appears  to  be  an  aimless 
meanderer  no  doubt  does  not  give  the 
impression  of  a  potential  company  man  or 
company  woman.  On  the  other  hand  goals 
should  be  kept  realistic.  Saying  that  you 
want  to  be  king  of  the  world  will 
undoubtedly  make  you  look  like  a  nut. 
(Besides,  the  position  isn't  open  yet.) 

Refer  to  your  nice,  neat,  concise  resume 
for  your  achievements  in  the  past  that  are 
related  to  the  job,  clearly  illustrating  that 
you  are  qualified  and  capable.  Dress 
according  to  the  style  of  the  place  that 
you  might  be  working  in  (if  you're  applying 
for  a  job  as  a  nuclear  physicist  don't  wear 
a  clown  suit,  but  if  you're  applying  for  a 
job  at  P.T.  Barnum's  ditch  the  Brooks 
Brothers'). 

During  the  interview  make  sure  you  flash 
a  little  eyeball  contact  and  try  not  to  talk 
with  the  hands  too  much.  Also  make  sure 
you  know  where  the  place  is  because  if 
you're  late  it  looks  like  you  are  an  aimless 
meanderer  with  no  direction.  And  that  can 
only  lead  to  one  spot  that  nobody  wants: 
a  place  in  the  unemployment  line  behind 
the  rest  of  the  saps  who  blew  their 
interviews.

COMPUTE 
SCIENC 


HELENE  GOLDSTEIN 


Co-ops,  volunteer  work 
helped  her  decide: 

Counseling 


Helene  Goldstein  had  a  tough  choice.  She  was  offered  a 
wonderful  job.  complete  with  all  the  trimmings.  An  offer  that  was 
hard  to  refuse.  A  co-op's  dream.  On  deadline,  the  Boston  bank 
awaited  her  decision.  But  Goldstein  said  no. 

A  1984  recipient  of  one  of  25  co-op  awards,  honors  student, 
president  of  the  Northeastern  Choral  Society,  and  Psychology  major 
has  a  different  set  of  blueprints  for  her  future.  Which  put  her, 
instead,  in  the  position  of  awaiting  answers:  admission  responses 
from  various  graduate  schools  offering  a  PhD  in  clinical  psychology, 
where  her  heart  lies. 

A  variety  of  outstanding  volunteer  and  co-op  experiences  have 
acted  as  catalysts  to  the  slow  evolution  of  her  goals  over  these  five 
years.  Still  Goldstein's  focus  has  remained  steadfast,  if  only  slightly 
sharpened.  "I  always  knew  I  wanted  a  field  that  involved  people." 
But,  she  adds,  "It  wasn't  until  about  two  years  ago  that  I  decided  I 
wanted  to  go  into  private  practice."  She  hopes  to  specialize  in 
family  counseling. 

"I  always  thought  about  private  practice  as  being  a  female 
version  of  Bob  Newhart  .  .  .  plush  office  .  .  .  reclining  couch  .  .  . 
treating  chronic  nail-biters."  But  Helene's  concept  was  quickly  and 
significantly  altered.  Experience  in  the  field  "brought  me  down  to 
earth,"  she  admits. 

The  Fernald  State  School  in  Waltham  was  Goldstein's  first  taste  of 
that  experience.  As  a  mental  retardation  assistant  she  was  involved 
in  routine  workshops.  Her  ward  included  12  retarded  adult  males. 
The  work  was  frustrating  and  the  job  offered  no  counseling 
experience.  "It  confirmed  the  fact  that  I  didn't  want  to  work  with 
the  retarded,"  she  says.  The  process  of  elimination  may  not  be 
immediate,  but  given  time  it  works  its  course. 

As  a  middler,  Goldstein  landed  a  job  as  a  research  assistant  for 
Liberty  Mutual  in  Hopkington.  She  was  part  of  a  project  in  visual 
research  that  was  studying  the  effects  of  night  blindness.  Working 
with  a  group  of  computer  scientists  she  helped  design  experiments 
and  was  responsible  for  part  of  the  final  report  soon  to  be 
published.  She  considered  herself  the  "human  element"  in  a  group 
"largely  responsible  for  statistical  data." 

"I  got  out  of  the  position  as  much  as  I  could,  primarily  because  I 
wanted  to  publish  something,"  Goldstein  said. 

The  personnel  department  of  Shawmut  Bank,  where  Goldstein 
next  worked  as  an  affirmative  action  specialist,  became  one  of  the 
highlights  of  her  co-op  track  record.  There  her  primary  responsibility 
lay  in  the  "development  of  an  affirmative  action  plan  .  .  . 
developing  new  quarterly  reports  and  then  monitoring  progress  to 
ensure  compliance  was  being  met  with  federal  regualtions."  She 
was  able  to  become  actively  involved  in  what  she  calls  the  "human 
side":  interviews,  hiring  and  counseling,  especially  inner-city  youths. 
The  idea,  she  says,  was  "to  mold  inner-city  kids  to  be  on  par  with 
the  other  workers." 

After  nine  months  of  co-op  with  Shawmut  she  continued  working 
part-time  for  five  more  months  during  which  time  they  offered  her 
the  full  time  position  upon  graduation.  While  she  enjoyed  her  work 
with  them,  she  realized  she  wanted  something  different. 

Probably  the  most  intense  training  Goldstein  received  was  through 


her  volunteer  work  at  Project  Place,  a  hotline  crisis  center  in  the 
South  End.  A  two-month  comprehensive  training  program 
preceeded  her  hot-line  counseling  work  which  began  last  June  and 
which  she  is  presently  still  active  in.  Her  experiences  there  "ran  the 
gamut."  They  included  everything  from  suicide,  depression,  grief, 
loss,  drugs  and  alcohol  to  homosexuality,  career  decision-making 
and  loneliness.  She  came  to  Project  Place  because  she  knew  it  was 
the  kind  of  experience  that  couldn't  be  obtained  through  the  co-op 
office. 

Now  Goldstein  has  been  asked  to  run  the  training  program  for 
new  hotline  volunteers.  It's  scary  she  said,  but  she's  "really  excited." 
There  are,  as  she  describes  it,  "so  many  experiences  to  share  with 
new  counselors." 


PATRICIA  DiBIASE 


Up  With  People 
;gave  this  future  nurse 

Confidence 


Could  you  imagine  working  18  hours  a  day,  seven  days  a  week  and 
not  getting  paid  for  it?  Patricia  M.  DiBiase.  a  nursing  major  from  Lowell, 
MA  did  just  that  on  a  year-long  co-op  with  Up  With  People. 

The  group  is  an  international,  educational,  entertainment 
organization  that  was  started  in  the  late  1960s.  Students  from  all  over 
the  world  are  chosen  to  travel,  perform  and  get  involved  with  various 
community  activities. 

Patricia  became  interested  in  the  group  after  seeing  her  cousin 


perform  in  the  show.  Interviews  are  held  after  every  performance  so 
she  decided  to  try  out.  Out  of  about  10,000  applicants  only  500 
people  are  actually  chosen  for  the  job.  It  was  a  surprise  to  Patricia 
when  she  got  the  job,  but  she  felt  it  was  an  accomplishment  to  be 
proud  of. 

Patricia  joined  the  group  in  January  18,  1983  and  travelled  all  over 
the  world.  There  are  five  different  groups  and  each  consists  of  about 
100  people.  She  had  the  opportunity  to  make  "friends  all  over  the 
world"  and  travelled  with  people  from  35  states  and  14  countries. 

Up  With  People  cast  members  stay  with  a  host  family  who  provides  a 
place  for  them  to  stay  while  on  the  road.  The  families  she  stayed  with, 
the  other  cast  members  and  all  the  people  she  met  had  different 
lifestyles.  Up  With  People  "really  showed  you  that  people  are  just  the 
same.  Everyone  wants  the  same  things."  She  learned  a  lot  about 
herself  as  well  as  other  people. 

While  travelling  with  the  group,  Patricia  visited  schools,  hospitals, 
nursing  homes  and  handicapped  associations.  At  one  handicapped 
association,  cast  members  were  given  the  chance  to  see  what  it  was 
like  to  be  handicapped.  Half  of  the  group  was  put  in  wheelchairs  for 
an  entire  day  and  told  they  couldn't  leave  the  chairs  at  all.  Patricia 
said  it  taught  her  more  about  how  members  of  the  handicapped 
community  learn  to  live  independently  and  take  care  of  themselves. 

Patricia  didn't  get  a  salary  for  the  time  she  put  into  the  group,  but 
she  said,  "Payment  isn't  a  monetary  thing.  It  is  nothing  you  can 
measure.  I  think  every  day  I  realized  something  new."  For  Patricia,  Up 
With  People  was  a  valuable  learning  experience. 

As  she  looks  back  on  the  time  she  spent  with  the  group,  -  Patricia 
has  gotten  the  confidence  in  herself  which  has  allowed  her  to  make  a 
lot  of  friends  and  learn  to  interact  with  people  on  all  different 
levels — more  socially  than  she  has  in  the  past.  She  was  able  to  learn 
about  people,  about  herself  in  a  way  she  probably  would  never  have 
been  able  to  do  if  it  were  not  for  this  unusual  co-op. 


LISA  LeBLANC 


IBM  co-ops  gave  her 
skills  that  guarantee 

Job  Security 


"It  was  nice  not  being  treated  as  a  co-op.  The  job  I  had  was  the 
same  type  of  work  that  everyone  else  did.  That's  why  I  went  back 
every  time.  They  impressed  me  enough  with  the  company  at  that 
time  that  I'm  looking  for  full-time  employment  there."  says  Lisa 
LeBlanc,  a  computer  science  major,  of  her  co-op  job  with  IBM  in 
Burlington,  Vermont. 

LeBlanc  worked  as  an  applications  programmer.  One  of  her 
projects  encompassed  five  months  and  involved  talking  with  the 
engineers,  doing  all  the  design,  documentation,  electronic  loading, 
testing  and  finally  installing  the  program  on  a  Series  One  computer. 
LeBlanc  got  this  job  through  the  co-op  department.  She  said  she 
selected  IBM  for  a  variety  of  reasons  including  the  opportunity  for 
mobility  to  different  areas  within  the  company,  its  reputation  for 
employee  benefits  and  the  stability  of  the  corporation  itself. 

LeBlanc  was  given  the  same  responsibility  as  everyone  else  and 
after  some  technical  guidance  she  was  left  virtually  on  her  own  to 
do  what  had  to  be  done.  LeBlanc's  job  provided  her  with  an 
opportunity  to  work  on  different  systems  that  she  wasn't  familiar 
with  and  she  said  she  found  herself  able  to  pick  up  the 
programming  languages  quickly. 

LeBlanc  also  said  that  Northeastern  prepares  students  to  jump  into 
new  situations  easily.  She  said  that  the  experience  she  gained  on 
her  job  proved  to  be  invaluable  in  helping  her  with  her  courses  at 
NU.  If  given  the  opportunity  to  do  it  over  again  Lisa  said  she  would 
definitely  choose  a  co-op  school. 

"Co-op  made  me  realize  that  it's  what  I  want  to  do  and  it  also 
told  me  what  side  of  programming  I  want  more  than  others.  The 
three  jobs  I  had  up  there  (IBM)  were  all  applications  programming 
and  got  me  into  liking  that  aspect  of  it  more  and  now  I  know  in 
what  direction  I  want  to  head." 


The  goal  LeBlanc  has  set  for  her  future  is  to  eventually  be  in  a 
position  where  she  would  be  able  to  advance  technically  without 
having  to  get  into  the  management  aspect.  She  would  like  to 
become  a  team  or  project  leader  having  responsibility  for  other 
programmers. 

LeBlanc  said  she  received  a  lot  of  satisfaction  from  her  job. 

"The  stuff  I  wrote  is  actually  out  there  and  working  now,"  she 
said.  According  to  LeBlanc,  many  of  the  co-op  jobs  for  computer 
science  majors  are  for  computer  operators  rather  than 
programmers.  She's  found  that  a  lot  of  the  companies  she's 
interviewed  with  weren't  just  interested  in  her  grades  but 
emphasized  her  work  at  IBM.  She  has,  as  of  February,  already 
received  six  job  offers,  and  all  of  them  are  from  different  IBM 
locations. 

LeBlanc  started  as  a  math  major  with  a  concentration  in 
computer  science  and  two  years  ago  became  a  computer  science 
major  when  the  program  became  accredited.  LeBlanc  says  she 
considers  herself  lucky  to  have  had  the  experience  which  makes  her 
so  marketable.  Right  now,  she  is  looking  forward  to  enjoying  a  bright 
and  promising  future. 


MONIKA  GRIMMER 


Co-ops  in  Germany 
have  her  making  plans 

To  return 


Thanks  to  International  Co-op.  Monika  Grimmer  has  spent  her  last 
two  years  at  NU  in  transition.  But  she's  not  complaining.  Going  from 
Boston  to  a  new  culture  is  always  a  different  adjustment,  but 
coming  back  can  be  even  harder.  However,  several  co-ops  and 
some  schooling  in  West  Germany  have  endowed  Grimmer  with 
experience  few  are  fortuned  with. 


Grimmer,  an  international  business  and  marketing  student,  won  a 
scholarship  covering  tuition,  room  and  board  for  two  months  of 
studies  at  the  Carl  Duisberg  Language  School  in  Cologne.  With  only 
a  basic  knowlege  of  the  German  language.  Grimmer  first  ventured 
to  undertake  intensive  German  studies  in  grammar,  language, 
economy  and  business  administration.  She  was  an  A  student. 

Then,  for  six  months  following  her  university  stay  she  was 
employed  by  Braun,  a  subsidary  of  Gillete,  located  in  Kronberg.  She 
worked  for  three  months  with  the  controller  of  finance  and  three 
months  in  the  industrial  engineering  department  "working  in 
conjunction  with  the  marketing  department  in  packaging  a  product 
cost  efficiently,  and  also  testing  its  marketability." 

Last  March  Grimmer  came  home  to  Boston  for  three  months  and 
soon  returned  to  Germany  for  another  six  month  stay.  This  time  the 
position  was  with  IBM  in  Stuttgart,  in  their  marketing  support 
department.  There  she  was  responsible  for  "systems  translations 
from  English  to  German  and  the  testing  of  them  in  German." 

"It  was  a  dynamite  job  and  the  people  I  worked  with  were 
super."  says  Grimmer.  IBM  paid  for  her  housing  which  was  in  a  dorm 
at  the  University  of  Hohemhein.  Her  living  arrangements  provided  her 
with  the  opportunity  to  meet  a  lot  of  students. 

In  addition  to  travelling  throughout  Europe  and  doing  a  lot  of 
biking.  Grimmer,  a  four-year  varsity  crew  member  at  NU,  joined 
boat  clubs  on  both  her  excusions  to  Germany. 

"It  was  fun  rowing  on  the  Rhine  and  comparing  the  different  styles 
of  rowing."  said  Grimmer.  She  also  was  able  to  attend  the  world 
rowing  championships  twice — once  in  Switzerland  and  once  in 
Germany. 

The  differences  she  found  in  the  two  cultures  were  varied,  but  she 
adapted. 

"They're  very  conservative  compared  to  here  but  then  I  like  that. 
They're  also  immaculately  clean — they're  fanatics  about  cleanliness. 
It  was  hard  coming  back  to  dirty  Boston."  said  Grimmer. 

Whether  she  goes  to  work  or  graduate  school  after  graduation 
Grimmer  has  plans  to  return  to  Germany  in  June.  She  says  the 
experience  has  taught  her  self-discipline,  how  to  be  independent, 
and  how  to  better  express  herself. 

"You  can  learn  more  by  travelling  and  speaking  to  people  than 
you  can  by  merely  studying,"  said  Grimmer. 

There  seem  to  be  endless  reasons  for  Grimmer  to  return  to 
Germany. 

"It's  so  wonderful  to  be  able  to  travel  just  a  few  hours  and  come 
to  another  country.  That's  something  you  can't  have  here.  I  love 
the  different  languages,  the  different  cultures,"  she  said. 

There's  an  air  of  sincerity  about  Grimmer  as  she  talks  about  her 
hopes  to  return — if  for  no  other  reason  than  the  simplest  of  all: 
"because  I  love  it." 


FELICE  HARRISON 


Teaching  handicapped 
kids  required  pure 

Patience 


Felice  Harrison  of  Montclair.  New  Jersey,  is  a  Speech  and  Hearing 
major  in  the  Boston  Bouve  College.  Felice  spent  her  first  co-op 
period  at  the  Bethany  Hill  School  for  the  Deaf  in  Framingham.  The 
school  specializes  in  teaching  autistic,  deaf,  blind,  and  mentally 
retarded  individuals.  This  co-op  period  exposed  Felice  to  the  type 
of  professional  career  she  hopes  to  pursue  upon  graduation  from 
Northeastern. 

Harrison  was  an  assistant  teacher  to  the  Special  Education 
Instructor.  She  assisted  the  head  teacher  in  all  course  exercises 
given  to  the  students,  and  she  made  sure  that  each  student 
completed  his  or  her  assignments  properly.  She  led  the  class  in  what 
was  called  "Morning  Circle",  which  was  a  daily  routine  of  the 
students  saying  good  morning  by  either  sign  language  or  writing  it 
down.  In  addition,  Harrison  was  a  bus  monitor,  and  lunch  attendant, 
supervising  the  students  and  helping  them  if  needed  during  meals. 
But  most  importantly,  Harrison  was  their  "Friend"  and  she  tried  to 
show  the  students  that  she  cared  about  them,  and  was  interested 
in  their  achievements. 

Harrison  said  she  chose  this  job  because  it  was  a  great 
opportunity  for  her  to  work  with  special  needs  students.  She  says 
that  she  has  always  had  a  special  place  in  her  heart  for 
handicapped  individuals. 

During  this  co-op  Harrison  dealt  with  many  handicapped 
individuals,  and  she  said  she  felt  sorry  for  the  parents  of  many  of 
these  students.  She  also  said  that  helped  her  develop  a  lot  of 
compassion  and  realize  how  lucky  healthy  individuals  are. 

Professionally.  Harrison  said  it  is  sometimes  hard  to  keep  the  best 
interests  of  the  handicapped  person  in  mind.  "One  must  remember 
that  people  are  human,  and  not  everything  is  revealed  by  their 
visual  job  performance,"  said  Harrison.  She  said  she  gained  a  lot  of 


professional  insight  and  knowledge  about  administration  procedures. 

In  the  beginning  the  children  tested  Harrison  to  see  exactly  how 
far  they  could  push  her  and  keep  her  attention.  She  said  each  pupil 
reacted  to  her  as  if  she  was  something  to  play  with,  a  new  toy,  for 
example.  Once  they  realized  that  she  was  there  to  assist  the 
teacher,  they  started  to  listen  to  her.  There  were  two  students  that 
Harrison  grew  close  to  -  two  boys  who  were  slow  and  quiet,  but  for 
some  reason  drew  her  affection,  she  said. 

Patience  played  a  big  part  in  working  with  special  students,  said 
Felice,  because  they  would  do  anything  to  get  attention.  Felice 
constantly  had  to  make  sure  that  the  students  paid  attention  to 
what  was  being  taught.  Because  of  her  sign  language  skills  she  was 
able  to  communicate  with  students  who  were  deaf.  Harrison  would 
teach  basic  words  to  those  who  did  not  know  sign  language,  so 
that  they  could  join  in  the  conversation.  Harrison  said  she  enjoyed 
this  very  much,  especially  being  able  to  help  those  who  wanted  to 
express  themselves,  but  could  not. 

Working  at  the  Bethany  Hill  School  was  a  great  experience  said 
Harrison,  one  that  will  help  her  professionally.  Being  able  to  work 
face  to  face  with  the  students  gave  Harrison  a  feeling  that  she  had 
accomplished  something  special.

MARGIE  FLASHNER 


Prospective  students 
get  introduced  via 


NU  tours 


Sociology  major  Margie  Flashner  didn't  have  to  worry  about 
finding  her  way  around  at  her  new  co-op  job  in  January  1984.  She 
had  just  finished  six  months  of  school  there.  Flashner  worked  for 
Northeastern's  Admissions  Office  as  a  tour  guide. 

She  found  the  job  through  her  co-op  advisor  when  she  "was 
looking  for  something  a  little  different.  I  wanted  to  meet  people  .  .  . 
it  looked  like  fun,"  said  Flashner. 

The  job  turned  out  to  be  more  than  something  a  little  different. 

"I  thought  I'd  just  be  giving  tours,"  she  said.  In  addition  to  her 
responsibilities  as  a  guide,  Flashner  also  reviewed  the  files  of 
incoming  freshmen  to  chack  statuses — "basis  admissions  work." 

"It's  pretty  interesting  because  you  see  people  who  come  from 
the  other  side  of  the  world  and  you  learn  a  lot  about  them  .  .  . 
when  they  come  in  for  interviews  I  feel  like  I  know  their  life  stories." 

On  the  tour  itself,  Flashner  took  the  prospective  students  and  their 


parents  in  "one  big  circle,"  all  the  way  around  campus.  The  tour 
begins  in  the  Computer  Center.  From  there  it  goes  through  the  gym 
and  the  dormitories.  It  also  takes  the  group  through  the  co-op  and 
law  complex  where  the  guides  point  out  Kariotis  Hall,  West 
Apartments  and  the  building  that  contains  Lake,  Holmes,  Meserve 
and  Nightingale  Halls.  All  of  the  remaining  buildings  in  the  area  are 
shown,  including  Dockser  and  Forsyth. 

The  Campus  Police  station  and  Lane  Health  Center  are  next  on 
the  route  as  are  Churchill  and  Hayden  Halls  and  the  new 
engineering  building.  Then,  the  circle  continues  through  the  student 
lounge  and  on  to  Robinson,  Hurtig,  Mugar  and  Botolph.  From  there, 
the  tour  approaches  its  last  leg  with  the  YMCA,  Matthews  Arena 
and  finally,  in  front  of  the  Library  in  the  quad,  close  to  where  it 
began. 

Flashner  described  each  building  to  the  members  of  her  tour  as 
they  walked  by  and  answered  questions.  When  asked  if  there  were 
any  regulations  regarding  what  should  and  should  not  be  said, 
Flashner  responded:  "I  can  give  my  own  personal  opinion,  but  I'm 
not  supposed  to  say  'you  should  do  this,  you  should  take  that." 

According  to  Flashner,  the  most  unusual  questions  seem  to  come 
from  parents  who  were  deeply  concerned  about  their  child's 
education. 

"The  fathers  usually  ask  very  picky  questions  about  things  most 
people  wouldn't  think  to  ask  like,  'how  many  books  are  there 
exactly  in  the  library?'  We  do  have  to  know  those  things  .  .  .  we'll 
talk  to  the  people  in  the  library,"  said  Flashner. 

On  rare  occasions,  she  said,  there  were  questions  that  she  could 
not  answer.  On  these  occasions,  the  topic  of  concern  was  usually 
club  sports. 

"I  usually  keep  up  with  reading  ...  I  usually  know  who's  in  first 
place  and  all  that  .  .  .  but  when  someone  asks  which  mountains  the 
ski  club  goes  to  ...  if  I  don't  know,  when  I  go  back  I'll  call  the 
office. 

"Actually,  for  some  reason  people  on  tours  are  very  quiet.  At  the 
beginning,  we  say  'if  you  have  any  questions,  feel  free  to  ask,'  but 
not  many  do.  It's  like  they've  got  lockjaw  .  .  ."  When  students  are 
with  their  parents  they're  quiet  but  when  their  parents  aren't  around 
they're  much  more  talkative,  said  Flashner. 

Flashner  also  said  she  enjoyed  the  working  atmosphere  in  the 
office. 

"They're  all  really  friendly  ...  at  first  you  don't  know  if  they're 
friendly  because  you're  in  an  office  that  has  to  be  friendly  .  .  .  when 
you  walk  in  that  front  door  everyone  has  to  be  in  a  good  mood 
whether  they  like  it  or  not.  But  then  I  worked  in  the  back  room  and 
everyone  helps  each  other  .  .  .  we  all  get  along,"  said  Flashner. 

Flashner  said  being  on  campus  for  co-op  was  an  advantage 
because  she  was  able  to  keep  up  with  changes  in  the  University 
and  stay  in  contact  with  students  from  both  divisions. 

"I  thought  I'd  want  to  get  away  after  that  last  semester.  I 
thought  I  wouldn't  want  to  be  anywhere  near  school." 

For  all  of  her  previous  co-ops  Flashner  worked  at  Commonwealth 
Coach  (a  bus  company)  as  an  assistant  safety  director,  a  job  she 
obtained  herself.  She  conducted  safety  courses  and  processed 
insurance  claims  for  the  company.  She  worked  her  way  up  to  that 
position  over  a  series  of  co-op  terms  until  she  decided  that  she 
needed  to  move  on. 

"I  saw  that  it  wasn't  going  anywhere  else  so  I  decided  to  get  a 
job  through  the  school."  said  Flashner. 

She  is  unsure  at  this  point  about  plans  for  the  future.  She  has 
many  interests  in  psychology  and  sociology  and  is  considering 
graduate  school  in  one  of  those  areas. 

"I  think  I  like  too  much  ...  I'm  not  sure  how  to  direct  myself.  As 
I've  gone  on  in  school  I've  realized  my  interests  are  quite  varied." 


MARK  PETERSON 


Computer  science  grad 
says  opportunities  are 

Plentiful 


Talking  to  Mark  Peterson  one  perceives  an  air  of  confidence,  an 
optimism  toward  the  future. 

The  25-year-old  computer  science  senior  has  no  worries  about 
future  employment. 

"I  was  on  co-op  and  saw  that  there  are  a  lot  of  computer  jobs 
out  there.  I'm  not  worried  about  getting  a  job,"  he  said. 

Peterson  was  a  math  major  for  one  year,  an  electrical 
engineering  major  for  two  years,  and  a  computer  science  major  for 
his  remaining  two  years  at  Northeastern. 

"I  took  computer  classes  before  they  had  the  major,"  Peterson 
said.  He  noted  that  he  was  trying  to  create  a  strong  background 
for  a  career  in  software. 

Peterson's  first  co-op  experience  was  with  the  Environmental 
Protection  Agency  in  Boston,  where  he  served  as  an  applications 
programmer  for  one  quarter.  His  duty  was  to  correct  mistakes  in 
computer  programs.  He  found  the  work  interesting  but  decided  he 
wanted  to  widen  his  software  experience. 

For  his  next  co-op  term,  Peterson  took  a  position  with  Cullinet 
Software,  Inc.  in  Westwood,  Massachusetts.  He  stayed  there  for  his 
remaining  two  co-op  terms. 

While  at  Cullinet,  he  worked  in  technical  support  for  systems 
software,  handling  technical  program  problems. 

Peterson  is  very  enthusiastic  about  Cullinet.  He  said  the  company 
is  moderately  sized  but  like  most  software  companies  it  is  growing 
rapidly.  Peterson  feels  this  is  a  plus  because  there  are  plenty  of 
opportunities  with  small,  growing  technical  firms. 

"Cullinet  asked  me  to  drop  off  my  resume  when  I  graduate," 


Peterson  said.  "They  haven't  said,  c'mon  back  and  we'll  hire  you," 
but  they  have  made  it  apparent  that  it  is  a  likelihood,  he  added. 

According  to  Deborah  Cooper  in  the  Office  of  Public  Information, 
Peterson's  optimism  may  not  be  unfounded.  All  of  last  year's 
computer  science  graduates  have  found  jobs,  she  said. 

"Because  there  is  such  a  demand  for  software  designers  and 
analysts,  we  have  no  problem  placing  them,"  Cooper  said. 

Peterson  is  just  one  of  75  graduating  seniors  in  the  College  of 
Computer  Science.  Last  year  the  college  graduated  19  seniors. 
There  are  877  computer  science  majors. 

Presently,  Peterson  attends  classes  in  the  newly  renovated 
computer  science  building,  formerly  the  St.  Botolph  building. 

The  building,  the  oldest  on  campus,  is  tentatively  to  be  named 
David  and  Margaret  Fitzgerald  Cullinane  Hall  in  honor  of  the  parents 
of  John  J.  Cullinane,  who  graduated  from  Northeastern  in  1959  with 
a  bachelor's  degree  from  the  College  of  Business. 

Cullinane  is  benefactor  of  the  renovated  building  and  chief 
executive  officer  and  chairman  of  Cullinet,  where  Peterson  works. 


CHRIS  CAVANAUGH 


Experience  at  Digital 
sent  his  career 


Soaring 


Chris  Cavanaugh  would  like  to  fly. 

"To  work  in  aviation  is  my  long-term  goal,"  he  said.  When 

avanaugh  decided  to  enroll  in  the  College  of  Business 
Administration,  it  was  only  natural  that  he  chose  to  concentrate  in 
management  and  transportation. 

"I'm  interested  in  transportation  as  a  hobby.  By  concentrating  in 
t,  I  can  combine  my  interests  in  transportation  and  aviation  with  my 


cooperative  education  experiences,"  Cavanaugh  said. 

Cavanaugh,  a  senior,  worked  for  the  Digital  Equipment 
Corporation  in  Westboro,  MA,  for  all  of  his  cooperative  education 
quarters. 

"I  worked  for  Digital  for  a  year  and  a  half  after  I  graduated  from 
high  school  in  1978  and  knew  I  wanted  to  go  back  there  when  I 
started  co-op,"  he  said.  Although  there  are  not  many  areas  in  the 
company  for  Northeastern  students  on  co-op  to  work  in, 
Cavanaugh  was  able  to  get  a  job. 

"The  option  was  more  or  less  that  if  I  didn't  want  to  work  for  the 
Corporate  Distribution  Department,  I'd  be  out  of  luck,"  he  said.  The 
Corporate  Distribution  Department  insures  that  the  company's 
product,  computers,  is  shipped  and  distributed  to  customers. 

"At  Digital,  I  learned  about  rates,  carriers,  and  contracts.  Seeing 
how  a  company  like  this  works  and  how  they  ship  their  product  will 
be  helpful  to  me  in  the  future.  I  can  combine  this  knowledge  with 
the  work  I  hope  to  do  in  the  future.  In  other  words,  if  I  have  a 
freight  airline  company  in  years  down  the  road,  the  experience  will 
come  in  handy,"  Cavanaugh  said. 

Cavanaugh  had  a  different  assignment  each  time  he  returned  to 
Digital.  "When  I  first  started  working  in  Corporate  Distribution,  I 
helped  to  set  up  field  distribution  centers,  which  are  points  where 
Digital  can  ship  its  computers.  These  points  make  it  easier  to  control 
the  shipment,"  he  said.  For  example,  shipments  go  from 
Massachusetts  to  the  field  distribution  center,  and  then  to  a 
customer.  Cavanaugh  analyzed  historical  data  to  find  which  areas 
would  be  good  within  certain  regions  to  set  up  distribution  centers. 
Access  to  airports  and  major  roadways  are  considerations 
Cavanaugh  took  into  account  when  analyzing  future  center  sites. 

On  another  assignment,  Cavanaugh  worked  for  a  manager  in  the 
department. 

"His  responsibility  was  to  determine  what  the  company  needed  in 
terms  of  who  it  should  use  as  carriers.  I  did  the  rate  analysis  research 
for  him,"  Cavanaugh  said. 

Cavanaugh's  last  co-op  assignment  with  Digital  is  probably  his 
most  memorable.  This  assignment  took  him  from  Springfield,  MA,  to 
Canada. 

"I  spent  most  of  the  summer  in  Springfield.  I  lived  in  hotels  five 
days  a  week,"  he  said.  During  this  assignment,  Cavanaugh  was 
involved  in  material  control.  This  meant  he  helped  set  up  and  design 
computerized  warehouse  systems  that  keep  track  of  orders  as  they 
go  through  Digital's  warehouses. 

"I  had  a  lot  of  freedom  to  do  my  assignments.  You're  able  to  use 
your  own  creativity  at  Digital.  If  you're  not  a  mature  person  when 
you  go  into  the  job,  you  have  to  get  mature  pretty  fast,"  he  said. 

Cavanaugh  thinks  he  will  return  to  Digital  after  graduation.  He 
would  like  to  manage  an  aviation  company  in  a  few  years  and 
eventually  fly  airplanes,  he  said. 

"I've  flown  model  airplanes  in  competition.  I  get  a  lot  of 
satisfaction  building  them  and  making  them  look  like  the  real  thing. 
When  most  people  think  about  model  airplanes,  they  think  of  kids, 
but  the  hobby  is  more  for  middle-aged  men,"  he  said. 

Cavanaugh  never  has  won  any  of  the  competitions  he  entered, 
but  still  continues  to  compete. 

"It's  fun  to  be  with  a  bunch  of  people  who  share  your  interest," 
he  said.

he  time  is  6:30  in  the  morning.  You 
are  in  the  middle  of  a  sound  sleep.  Suddenly  the 
morning  silence  is  broken  by  the  shrieking  of  an 
alarm  clock.  It  is  time  to  get  up.  Today  you  will 
enter  the  daily  commuter  race.  You  will  be 
competing  against  thousands  of  tired  commuters. 
Only  a  few  lucky  people  will  win  the  honor  of 
reaching  their  destinations  on  time. 

In  my  case  I  want  to  reach  Northeastern  in 
time  for  my  8:00  class.  On  rare  occasions  I  do  win 
the  race  and  make  it  in  time.  Most  of  the  time  it 
doesn't  work.  When  you  walk  up  the  stairs  to 
your  class,  you  are  well  aware  of  the  fact  that 
you  are  late.  You  don't  need  the  stares  of  your 
teacher  and  your  fellow  classmates  to  remind 
you.  Yet  what  can  you  do?  You  try  every 
possible  way.  Only  through  trial  and  error  do  you 
find  that  it  can't  be  done.  There  is  a  conspiracy 
to  prevent  you  from  reaching  your  8:00  class  on 
time. 

If  you  drive  to  school  you  have  to  put  up  with 
dodging  potholes,  avoiding  traffic  jams,  and 
finding  a  parking  place.  You  remember  things  like 
the  day  your  car  is  devoured  by  "potzilla,"  a 
pothole  which  would  be  named  the  city's  largest 
by  a  local  radio  station.  Then  there  is  the  day 
you  get  stuck  on  Storrow  drive  behind  a  fourteen 
foot  high  milk  truck  that  attempted  to  go  under 
a  twelve  foot  bridge.  You  find  it  really  is  a  waste 
of  time  to  cry  over  split  milk  (sorry).  Of  course 
you  can't  forget  the  day  when  you  go  out  to 
feed  the  meter  only  to  find  that  the  meter  maid 
was  there  the  minute  it  expired. 

Taking  the  "T"  has  its  own  headaches.  When  I 
first  started  at  Northeastern,  the  fare  was  50 
cents  on  the  Riverside  line.  A  round  trip  was  75 
cents.  Now  it  is  $2.25.  Fares  are  not  the  only 
things  that  have  increased.  The  amount  of  time 
you  have  to  wait  is  increasing,  as  is  the  number 
of  pickpockets.  Of  course  there  are  some  things 
that  are  decreasing.  The  fare  actually  went 
down  to  60  cents  for  everyone  except  those 
who  ride  the  green  line.  The  speed  of  the  LRVs 
(the  new  cars)  on  the  green  line  went  down 
from  50  mph  to  25  mph.  I'll  never  forget  the  day 
the  Arborway  line  stopped  running  because 
some  guy  decided  he  was  going  to  hold 
hostages  in  an  apartment  on  South  Huntington 
Avenue  and  was  taking  shots  at  anything 
moving.  Then  there  was  the  day  when  the 
Riverside  line  stopped  running  because  the  driver 
wanted  to  throw  some  kids  off.  The  kids  were 
thrown  off  because  they  were  different,  they 
chose  to  ride  on  top  of  the  train.  Of  course  there 
are  numerous  delays  which  have  stretched  as 
long  as  three  hours.  And  who  can  forget  the 
strikes  on  our  wonderful  transit  system. 

Bicycles  are  terrific  for  getting  through  traffic 
jams.  They  have  drawbacks  though.  You  spend 
$300  to  get  a  new  lightweight  bike  and  have  to 
carry  around  a  huge  lock  that  weighs  a  ton.  Flat 
tires  occur  at  the  most  inconvenient  times  (five 
minutes  before  class).  Chains  break,  brakes 
malfunction,  and  derailures  don't  function.  To  top 
it  off,  there  are  some  drivers  who  have  no 
consideration  for  bikes.  You'll  be  travelling  down 
the  road  when  some  driver  opens  a  door  that 
you  can't  avoid  hitting.  Or  you  travel  through  an 
intersection  and  a  driver  runs  a  red  light, 
bouncing  you  and  the  bike  off  the  car's  hood.  It 
is  amazing  how  apologetic  a  driver  is  when  they 
think  they  have  hurt  you  (especially  when  they 
know  it  is  their  fault).  There  is  the  indignity  of 
finding  your  bike  at  the  end  of  the  day  with 
some  vital  parts  missing  (like  your  entire  braking 
system).  And  who  can  forget  riding  to  school  in 
the  pouring  rain? 

Perhaps  some  day  after  graduation,  you  will  be 
walking  with  your  parents  through  the  Ell  Center. 
They  will  ask  you  why  so  many  students  are 
sleeping  so  late  in  the  day.  You  can  now  provide 
an  answer.  You  can  tell  them  about  the  great 
commuter  race.

■  UBLIC  TRANSPORTATION 

I.  Changes  with  the  four  seasons 

A.  Winter 

1.  The  snow  season.  You  freeze  at  outside 
stations. 

2.  When  you  get  on  the  train,  you  have  your 
overcoat  on.  The  train  is  95  degrees  and 
you  practically  pass  out. 

3.  The  trains  experience  difficulties. 

B.  Spring 

1.  The  rain  season.  You  get  wet  at  the 
outside  stations. 

2.  When  you  get  on  the  train,  you  have  your 
raincoat  on.  The  train  is  95  and  you  feel 
like  you're  in  a  steam  bath.  Everyone  smells 
peculiar. 

3.  The  trains  experience  difficulties. 

C.  Summer 

1.  It's  hot  out.  You  sweat  in  outside  stations. 
Inside  ones,  too. 

2.  When  you  get  on  the  train  there  is  no  air. 
You  start  to  sweat.  You  feel  like  you're 
going  to  pass  out.  You  are  surrounded  by 
90  other  people  who  have  no  air  and  feel 
like  they're  going  to  pass  out.  You  wilt. 

3.  The  trains  experience  difficulties. 

D.  Fall 

1 .  All  stations  are  fairly  comfortable  if  you 
ignore  the  crowds.  (College  students.) 

2.  The  MBTA  thinks  it  is  colder  outside  than  it 
actually  is.  They  turn  on  the  heat.  You  start 
to  sweat  and  think  you're  going  to  pass 
out.  The  other  college  students  appear  as 
if  they're  going  to  lose  it  also.  You  have 
someone's  book,  pocketbook,  elbow  and 
backpack  stuck  in  your  body. 

3.  The  trains  experience  difficulties. 

II.  General  annoyances 

A.  Your  foot  gets  stepped  on  so  many  times 
that  you  consider  buying  boots  with  steel 
toes. 

B.  You  get  pushed  down  in  the  rush  for  seats. 

C.  You  accidentally  push  someone  down  in  the 
rush  for  seats. 

D.  People  push  themselves  on  before  you  have 
a  chance  to  push  yourself  off. 

E.  The  train  is  so  crowded  you  can't  reach  a 
pole.  You  plant  yor  feet  firmly  on  the  floor 
and  bounce  off  your  neighbors 

F.  The  train  stops  when  its  in  a  slanted  position. 
It  stays  this  way  for  10  minutes.  You  walk  with 
a  limp  for  the  rest  of  the  day. 

G.  The  train  experiences  difficulties,  making  you 
late  for  class,  work  and  anything  else  you 
might  have  to  be  on  time  for.

_  id  you  move  into  NU  housing  as  a 

freshman  with  twice  as  much  stuff  as  you  could 
possibly  fit  into  that  small  room  you  were  to 
inhabit  for  the  next  nine  months?  Did  you  also 
need  to  share  that  small  room  with  one.  two  or 
three  roommates  who  also  brought  too  much? 

Well,  I  did,  too.  I  lived  in  a  suite  with  three 
other  people.  That  meant  I  had  the  privilege  of 
trave¥ig1rirough  rain,  sleet,  and  snow  three 
times  a  day  to  get  to  the  cafeteria.  Most  people 
had  cafeterias  in  their  own  buildings.  They  could 
walk  down  to  breakfast  in  their  slippers.  Instead 
we  had  a  bathroom  in  our  suite,  so  we  didn't 
have  to  share  with  the  whole  floor.  I  guess  it  was 
kind  of  a  trade-off. 

I  found  out  what  an  RA  was  on  the  first  day. 
We  were  using  the  fire  escape  to  get  to  the 
adjacent  building  when  we  heard  her  shouting 
from  the  window  next  to  ours.  She  yelled  at  us  to 
get  off  the  fire  escape  because  it  wasn't  safe. 
We  wondered  what  we  would  do  if  there  was 
ever  a  fire. 

The  next  year  I  moved  into  an  upperclass 
dorm.  I  gained  an  "in-house"  cafeteria  but  lost 
the  private  bath.  I  remember  our  6:15  p.m.  ritual 
all  too  well.  Those  few  students  who  refused  to 
eat  on  the  food  plan  (who  could  blame  them?) 
insisted  on  cooking  in  their  rooms  causing  the 
entire  wing  to  lose  electricity.  Do  you  know  what 
a  pain  it  is  to  reset  a  digital  alarm  clock  every 
day?  And  the  RA  didn't  even  try  to  do  anything 
about  it.  He  didn't  lose  HIS  electricity.  But  despite 
the  RA  I  liked  this  dorm  a  lot  better  because  it 
was  co-ed.  I  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  more 
people. 

Then  I  moved  off -campus  to  East  Boston.  We 
had  a  big  apartment  with  a  back  porch  and  a 
back  yard  which  was  fantastic  during  tanning 
season.  The  winter  was  another  story— we  had 
to  pay  for  our  own  heat.  Needless  to  say,  we 
froze  all  the  time. 

The  major  drawback  about  our  off-campus 
location  was  the  commute.  A  15  minute  car  trip 
took  between  an  hour  and  two  days  on  the 
MBTA.  After  six  months,  commuting  took  its  toll  on 
me  and  I  moved  back  to  campus. 

I  had  forgotten  what  a  delight  Northeastern's 
campus  was!  Exterminating  every  quarter  meant 
packing  up  the  kitchen  and  bathroom  as  though 
I  was  going  to  move  out.  And  all  those 
roaches— yuck!  But  the  most  aggravating  aspect 
of  the  apartment,  was  the  little  indent  between 
one  bedroom  and  the  bathroom  called  the 
kitchen.  It  was  so  narrow  we  could  not  fully  open 
the  fridge  or  oven  door.  It  was  an  experiment  in 
"creative  cooking"  to  say  the  least. 

For  my  last  year  in  school,  I  found  an 
apartment  that  is  a  happy  medium:  Off-campus 
"luxuries"  close  to  campus.  It's  a  cute  apartment 
with  built-in  exercise— it's  on  the  fifth  floor  with  no 
elevator.  The  building  was  just  renovated  so  it's  in 
pretty  good  shape.  And  it's  in  great  shape  if  you 
love  mice. 

Where  will  I  move  next?  Well,  probably 
nowhere  until  graduation.  Then,  who  knows?  But 
one  thing's  for  sure,  after  about  nine  moves 
(including  the  ones  around  here,  summer 
vacation  and  co-op),  I'll  be  ready  for  anything! 


I 

^-^^  t  has  been  said  that  students  have 
the  most  disposable  incomes  of  any  other 
socio-economic  group  in  the  country, 
meaning  that  they  are  free  to  spend  the 
majority  of  their  incomes  on  whatever  they 
please 

However,  here  at  Northeastern,  where 
tuition  and  housing  costs  rise  every  time  you 
turn  around  (see  charts  at  right),  it  is  hard  to 
believe  that  these  free-spending  students 
exist.  Because  here,  unabashed  spending  is 
the  exception,  while  budgeting  and  bargain 
hunting  seem  to  be  the  rules. 

And.  for  those  of  us  who  are  headed  out 
into  the  real  world,  the  financial  situation 
doesn't  look  any  better,  (at  least  not  right 
away!)  especially  considering  all  those  loans 
and  the  gruesome  expense  of  "dressing  for 
success."  So  now,  more  than  ever,  it's 
important  to  ferret  out  those  bargains.  There 
are  plenty  of  ways  to  save  money  and,  how 
do  they  say,  "Look  like  a  million."  Let's 
consider  bargains  available  in  the  areas  of 
clothes,  food  and  haircuts. 
CLOTHES 

In  most  retail  stores,  the  old  "end  of  the 
season"  rule  is  a  sensible  stand-by:  buy  spring 
separates  in  July,  bathing  suits  in  September 
and  winter  wools  in  March. 

Off-price  stores  are  another  great  bet.  In 
fact,  shoppers  travel  from  around  the  world  to 
take  advantage  of  New  England's  bargains. 
And  perhaps  the  most  famous  bargain  center 
in  the  world  is  right  here  in  downtown  Boston: 
Filene's  Basement.  Washington  st.  Few  college 
students  have  not  experienced  the  wonders 
of  the  Basement:  huge  crowds,  automatic 
markdowns  and  above  all  low  prices  on 
quality  merchandise.  (Every  person  that  has 
ever  visited  this  bargain  hunter  has  demanded 
to  be  introduced  to  that  eighth  wonder  of  the 
world.) 

And,  if  you  have  any  money  left  after 
leaving  the  basement,  go  across  the  street 
and  discover  Jordan  Marsh's  variation  of 
underground  bargain  centers,  aptly  named: 
Jordan's  Basement. 

For  THREE  floors  of  bargain  basement  prices, 
check  out  the  Bargain  Center,  Inc..  2 
Washington  St..  Quincy.  Besides  a  wide 
selection  of  clothes  this  off-price  store  has 
housewares,  gifts  and  shoes  that  BEAT  the 
Basement. 

Another  way  to  stretch  your  clothing  dollars 
is  to  buy  second-hand  garments.  (Or,  if  you 
prefer  you  can  call  them  slightly-used,  or 
experienced.) 

It  has  always  been  practical  and  more 
recently  chic  to  stop  in  the  Morgan  Memorial 
Goodwill  Thrift  shop.  Berkley  st.  or  the 
Salvation  Army  Thrift  Store,  Brookline  ave. 
You'll  find  a  huge  collection  of  fashion  ready- 
to-wear  here,  suitable  for  Halloween,  punk 
club,  or  boardroom.  The  key  to  success  is  to 
check  for  fabrics.  Scout  out  the  good  wools, 
linens  and  cottons  that  are  hidden  between 
between  the  layers  of  ployester.  For  some 
items,  you  may  want  to  make  alterations,  but 
go  ahead,  use  your  imagination  because  the 
price  is  right! 

Other  havens  for  second-hand  "roses"  are 
consignment  shops.  A  portion  of  the  purchase 
price  here  goes  to  the  original  owner  of  the 
garment,  (And  in  the  many  cases,  the  original 
owner  merely  lost  weight  or  grew  tired  of  the 
article.)  Two  shops  to  try:  The  Fashion 
Exchange,  Harvard  ave.,  Brookline  (across 
from  Stop  &  Shop)  and  The  Fashion  Exchange.

Center).  The  two  shops  are  not  related 
however,  both  carry  beautiful,  fashionable 
clothes  in  excellent  condition. 
FOOD 

The  Farmers'  Market  or  Haymarket, 
Haymarket  Square  (near  Faneuil  Hall)  is 
heaven  for  food  shoppers.  More  for  less  is  the 
rule  here.  You'll  find  produce  on  pushcarts, 
speciality  shops  featuring  meat,  cheese, 
bread  and  pastries,  and  some  unforgettable 
characters.  ("Want  some  meat?"  "Saucy- 
saucy-get  your  sausage  sub  here!"  "Four-a- 
dollar  grapefruit!")  The  market  is  open  Fridays. 
Saturdays  and  sometimes  Thursday  afternoons. 
For  unbelievable  bargains  shop  early  Saturday 
evening  when  the  pushcart  vendors  are 
anxious  to  get  rid  of  everything  .  .  . 

For  "cents-ible"  supermarket  shopping  there 
are  three  things  to  remember:  stock  up  when 
it's  on  sale,  arm  yourself  with  coupons,  and — 
and  when  you're  poor — generic  is  better. 

You  cannot  live  without  Sunday's  and 
Wednesday's  newspapers  if  you  shop  in  the 
supermarket.  Here,  you'll  find  all  the  info  about 
what's  on  sale  PLUS  a  large  array  of  coupons. 


Clip  and  save!  And  don't  turn  up  your  nose  at 
generic  items.  This  reporter  knows  college 
students  who  have  lived  on  generic  items.  (In 
fact,  one  outrageous  friend  threw  a  generic 
party  in  which  all  attendants  were  required  to 
wear  the  traditional  black  and  white  colors 
that  identify  said  generic  items!) 
HAIRCUTS 

You  can  get  a  new-do  for  a  lot  less  then 
salons  charge  if  you  try  one  of  the  local 
beauty  schools.  You'll  have  a  student  working 
your  hair  but  he  or  she  will  be  carefully 
supervised  by  a  professional.  Women  can  cry 
Blaine  Hair  School,  195  Tremont  st.  Blaine 
students  do  haircuts,  perms,  tinting  and 
frosting  at  "cut-rate"  prices  (Pardon  the  pun.) 
Men  can  try  the  Massdchusetts  School  of 
Barbering  and  Meh  's  Hair  Styling,  1245 
Washington  st.  where  haircuts  are  around  $2. 

All  of  the  above-mention  bargains  spots  are 
right  here  in  Boston  unless  otherwise  specified. 
So  take  the  "T"  and  save  money  on  gas  and 
parking.

▼  ~  ho: 


hose  cute  face  greets  you 
every  morning?  Whose  body  uses  the  last 
remaining  hot  water  on  those  sub-zero 
February  mornings?  Who  repeatedly  steals 
your  loose  change?  And  who  continually  sits  in 
front  of  the  12-inch  black  and  white,  with 
minimal  reception,  utterly  enjoying  Star  Trek 
reruns?  Surely  such  a  character  could  be  none 
other  than  that  unforgettable  roommate  of 
present  or  of  years  gone  by.  (Or  perhaps 
comrade,  confidante,  partner,  leach,  and  no- 
good-rat  can  be  considered  more  closely 
associated  titles). 

All  roommates  possess  a  diversified  number 
of  characteristics  and  they  fall  under  some 
well  deserved  titles.  The  typical  roommate 
can  usually  be  categorized  as  one  of  the 
following: 

The  Clean  Freak:  This  hapless  soul  lives  with 
the  never-ending  fear  that  an  unseen  and 
uninvited  microbe  may  miraculously  find  a  way 
in  which  to  survive  the  constant  Lysol  and  Spic 
and  Span  bombings.  He  can  hunt  down  alien 
bacteria  like  a  bloodhound.  He  will  urge  you 
to  take  a  bath  if  he  feels  it's  necessary.  (Such 
a  command  is  usually  issued  while  he  points  a 
bazooka  in  the  general  direction  of  your 
forehead.)  To  be  found  on  the  clean  freak's 
bed  will  undoubtedly  cause  him  to  begin 
deep  breathing  exercises.  To  leave  the 
slightest  trace  of  body  hair  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  bathtub  drain  will  cause  him  to  go  through 
a  series  of  convulsions.  Under  the  clean  freak 
regime  the  cockroaches  quickly  migrate  to 
happier  hunting  grounds,  the  rodents  follow 
the  roaches,  and  the  roommates  follow  the 
rodents,  though  not  necessarily  in  that  order. 

The  Roommate  Without  a  Book:  This 
fortunate  being  manages  to  complete  his 
college  education  without  having  once  gone 
within  200  feet  of  one  of  his  scheduled 
classes.  How  enjoyable  it  can  be  though  to 
quietly  crawl  up  behind  one  of  these  types 
while  they  are  deeply  into  Bugs  Bunny  Hour, 
and  softly  whisper,  "library,"  in  his  ear.  He  can 
usually  be  expected  to  reach  light  speed 
before  becoming  imbedded  in  the  ceiling.  This 
is  the  cerebral  human  who  during  midterms 
can  stand  behind  you  as  you  sweat  over 
managerial  finance  and  say,  "Are  you 
studying?"  But  thank  God  we  can  resist  the 
constant  urge  to  conceal  a  small  nuclear 
warhead  in  the  confines  of  his  toothbrush. 
The  Stud  Factor:  This  is  the  human  who 
considers  himself  to  have  been  blessed  with 
beauty  that  can  kill  the  beast  and  make  you 
awfully  sick  in  the  process.  These  individuals, 
who  spend  the  major  portion  of  their 
existences  playing  with  the  hair  on  their 
scalps,  exhibiting  mannerisms  frequently 
associated  with  some  lower  order  primates 
known  to  hang  out  at  zoos.  One  will  never 
forget  those  countless  nights  spent 
comfortably  in  the  hall,  tales  of  strategically 
situated  moles  on  voluptuous  bodies,  or  the 
fact  that  one  Mr.  Stud,  self-proclaimed  Greek 
God,  disappeared  after  contracting  a  strange 
fungus  that  found  a  liking  to  the  region  below 
the  waistline. 

The  Roommate  Who  Lacks  no  Vices:  This 
talented  creature  somehow  manages  to 
smoke,  drink,  swear,  and  snore  all  in  the  short 
span  of  one  day.  To  find  him  without  some 
type  of  habit-  forming  substance  in  his  hand  is 
to  find  him  in  a  state  of  shock.  Still  we  learn  to 
cope  as  well  as  breathe  while  a  cloud  of 
smoke  and  dirt  hovers  about.  We  have  the 
willpower  to  ignore  the  Budweiser  cans  wind 
surfing  in  the  John.  And  finally  we  have  the 
unfettered  courage  that  can  only  be  found  in 
Marvel  comic  books,  to  stick  it  out  'til  the 
quarter  ends. 

Him  Robot?  He  walks  through  the  door  in 
that  deliberate  fashion,  a  mechanical-like  grin 
crosses  his  stoneface.  He  places  a  multitude 


of  textbooks  held  firmly  under  his  arms  on  the 
cluttered  table.  His  arm  movements  are  stiff 
and  jerky.  In  fact,  he  progresses  through  each 
day  in  this  same  controlled  fashion  because— 
"him  robot."  These  perfectly  structured 
humanoids  usually  show  a  strong  inclination 
that  borders  on  love  for  those  fun-filled 
computer  types,  regardless  of  gender,  have  a 
hidden  desire  to  someday  marry  Carl  Sagan. 
They  eagerly  await  the  introduction  of  a 
nuclear  weapons  major  in  the  NU  curriculum, 
and  they  adamantly  refute  the  existence  of  a 
longer  lasting  pain  reliever. 

Most  of  us  collegiate  folk  have  had  the 
opportunity  or  even  the  privilege  to  have 
encountered  these  specimens  in  the  heat  of 
of  their  activities.  Yet  we  come  to  appreciate 
their  insane  idiosyncrasies  and  enjoy  the 
pleasure  of  their  company.  Undoubtedly  most 
roommates  can  be  stereotyped  under  one  of 
these  categories  in  some  way,  but  still  each 
of  them  leave  with  us  a  part  of  themselves. 
We  learn  to  accept  them  as  individuals,  we 
strive  to  become  friends,  and  in  the  end  we 
genuinely  care  about  one  another. 


a  pet.  Think  about  those  late  nights  you  have 
to  spent  at  the  library  and  you  must  go  home 
to  an  empty  apartment.  It's  just  you  and  the 
roaches.  Wouldn't  it  be  nice  to  be  greeted  at 
your  door  by  a  friendly  dog  or  cat,  who  would 
be  happy  to  see  you  no  matter  what  you 
look  like  or  what  frame  of  mind  you're  in?  Or 
how  about  a  goldfish  or  a  hamster  who  would 
"look"  jubilant  at  your  return? 

You  could  complain  to  your  pet  all  you 
wanted  and  he  would  just  sit  there  and  love 
you.  Your  pet  would  just  listen  patiently  to 
everything  you  had  to  say  without  answering 
back.  He  won't  tell  you  that  you  are  wrong, 
unreasonable  or  acting  childish,  he  will  just  sit 
there  and  love  you. 

Another  good  reason  to  adopt  a  pet  is  so 
you  won't  have  to  eat  alone.  A  faithful  pet 
will  stay  by  your  side  from  the  moment  you 
enter  the  kitchen  until  the  moment  you  dry 
the  dishes.  Of  course  your  dog  or  cat  may 
have  his  own  motives.  As  for  your  fish  and 
hamster  types  what  do  you  bring  them  into 
the  kitchen  for  anyways? 

Sometimes,  your  pet  can  provide  you  with 
a  little  trouble.  A  mess  on  the  carpet,  a  smelly 
room.  You  may  ask  yourself:  "are  they  really 
worth  the  trouble?  So  what  if  your  dog 
chewed  out  the  inside  of  your  Nike's.  So  what 
if  your  cat  sharpened  his  claws  on  the  corner 
of  your  mattress.  So  what  if  it  seems  like  you 
can  never  keep  your  fish's  tank  clean.  Of 
course  pets  are  worth  it!  Because  taking  care 
of  a  pet  means  taking  on  a  responsibility.  And, 
in  this  large  university,  where  we  tend  to  be 
treated  like  a  number,  isn't  it  refreshing  to 
have  your  pet  treat  you  as  an  individual? 


T 

Mr  he 


'  he  first  rays  of  daylight  slash 
across  my  sill  like  clashing,  crossed  swords.  I  roll 
my  head  towards  the  light,  only  to  be  blinded 
by  its  newborn  glow. 

"Yes"  my  mind  told  my  body.  "It  is  time  to 
get  up." 

"Up?"  my  body  questioned. 

"That's  right  you  bum!  You've  already 
missed  your  8:00  class  twice  this  week." 

"Tough,  my  bones  are  staying  right  here" 
my  body  sounded. 

"No  they're  not;  or  I'll  begin  sending  guilt 
impulses  to  your  central  nervous  system 
concerning  a  certain  mother  who  is  slaving 
away  in  a  sewing  factory,  so  that  a  certain 
someone  can  go  to  college." 

"Listen  both  of  you,  enough!"  I  finally 
interceded.  "I'm  going  to  decide." 

A  tranquil  calm  broke  over  the  room.  I 
glanced  around  for  my  physical  object  that 
might  jumpstart  my  decision-making  process. 
Ah,  the  clock;  sentry  of  my  nightstand! 

"Tell  me  I  can  go  back  to  sleep,  please,"  I 
begged. 

"7:35  and  52  seconds,"  was  its  only  reply. 

Finally  I  grabbed  a  towel  and  headed  for 
the  bathroom. 

"Morning,  ugly!" 

"I  hate  my  bathroom  mirror! 

"You're  looking  especially  loathsome 
today,"  it  chimed. 

"Give  me  a  break,  will  ya.  I've  had  a  long 
night,"  I  responded. 

"Well  let  me  just  add,  that  your  usual 
pugnacious  nose,  sunken  eyes  and  paltry 
haircut  are  completely  outdone  today  by 
your  grey  complexion  and  scab-riddled  face." 

I  really  hate  my  bathroom  mirror. 

Ignoring  my  mirror's  further  insults  I  worked 
my  way  over  to  the  shower. 

Now  let  me  tell  you,  my  shower  is  a  shower 
of  extremes,  totally  reactionary.  I  walk  into  a 
downpour  of  ice,  only  to  be  quickly  pelted 
with  molten  lava.  With  third-degree  burns  over 
70%  of  my  body  I  head  for  my  electric 
razor.  My  razor  is  my  only  true  friend!  It  never 
complains,  always  does  its  job,  and  never 
ceases  to  amaze  me  at  how  much  better  it 
makes  me  look.  Plus,  it  sticks  up  for  me  when 
my  mirror  is  at  its  worst  .  .  . 

"7:54  and  37  seconds,"  my  clock 
announced  from  the  other  room. 

I  threw  on  some  pants  and  grabbed  a  shirt 
from  my  dresser.  I  pried  my  Statistics  book 
from  my  desk  and  with  soaking  wet  hair 
proceeded  towards  the  door. 

"Hey  stupid!"  It  was  my  calendar.  "You 
don't  have  Statistics  today,  it's  Tuesday!" 

I  returned  to  my  bed  amid  unproarious 
laughter! 

"I  hate  morning.  I  just  hate  it!" 


A 


_    lot  of  people  think  I'm  a 
snob.  If  a  person  waves  to  me  I  often  don't 
wave  back.  If  my  friends  are  two  feet  in  front 
of  me,  I  may  not  even  talk  to  them.  The  truth 
is,  I  can't  see  two  feet  in  front  of  me  without 
the  help  of  two  dear  buddies— my  contact 
lenses. 

When  my  vision  started  to  decline,  I  got 
glasses.  At  first  I  thought  they  cut  me  off  from 
the  rest  of  the  world.  I  felt  frustrated  at  having 
to  look  at  everything  through  big  plastic  rims. 
Once  I  got  used  to  the  big  plastic  rims  I  had 
to  get  used  to  the  big  red  marks  they  made 
on  my  nose. 

Getting  the  glasses  to  stay  on  my  nose  was 
often  a  problem;  glasses  don't  stay  in  place 
through  rain,  snow  or  sweat.  They  also  steam 
up  when  exposed  to  hot  drinks  or  cold  air. 

Some  people  think  that  contact  lenses  are 
purchased  for  the  sake  of  vanity.  I  often 
agree.  Everyone  wants  to  look  his  or  her  best, 
and  for  some  people,  contact  lenses  help  to 
achieve  this. 

Putting  contact  lenses  in  every  morning  is  a 
time  consuming  task  not  recommended  for 
those  who  like  to  sleep  late.  (Unless  you're 
thinking  about  those  newfangled  lenses  that 
will  stay  in  your  eyes  for  two  weeks  at  a  time 
and  allow  you  to  see  your  bedcovers  in  the 
morning.) 

When  you  put  in  contact  lenses,  whatever 
you  do,  don't  drop  them.  What  a  pain. 
Especially  when  a  lens  falls  into  a  shag  rug  or 
onto  a  dusty  dorm  floor. 

Once  you  do  get  the  lenses  in,  you  can 
usually  forget  about  them.  Especially  on  Friday 
or  Saturday  after  you've  had  a  few  drinks. 
After  that,  the  only  thing  you  have  to  worry 
about  is  how  you're  going  to  get  the  stupid 
things  out.  Or,  how  you're  going  to  pry  your 
eyes  open  in  the  morning  if  you  fall  asleep 
before  you  get  the  chance  to  remove  them. 

Ah  yes,  the  drawbacks  of  contact  lenses. 
Perhaps  then  you're  wondering  why  every 
other  student  and  his  or  her  roommate  are 
wearing  them? 
Because,  they  make  it  a  lot  easier  to  see. 


W         W   hen 


hen  I  first  moved  to 
college,  I  used  to  sleep  with  10  friends.  My 
roommate  didn't  really  like  this  behavior,  so  I 
tried  to  give  it  up. 

At  first  I  was  lonely.  The  bed  seemed  so  big 
and  empty.  I  remembered  how  wonderful  it 
was  to  have  Bobby,  Ted,  and  Hal  sleep  on  my 
left  and  Ralph,  Rocky  and  Ben  sleep  on  my 
right.  I  missed  kissing  and  hugging  them 
goodnight.  After  a  while,  I  couldn't  take  it, 
and  I  gradually  started  inviting  them  back  into 
my  bed. 

For  a  while  I  tried  to  impress  my  companions 
with  fancy  nightclothes.  I  can  still  recall  the 
stunning  lingerie  collection  I  had:  fire  engine 
red  pajamas  with  feet  and  a  flap  in  the  back, 
flannel  nightgowns  in  assorted  colors,  and  a 
couple  pairs  of  polyester  pajamas  which  I'd 
rather  not  talk  about.  The  things  I  liked  best 
about  my  bedtime  attire  were  my  big,  fluffy, 
brown  slippers.  When  I  wore  them  for  the  first 
time  my  roommate  attacked  them  with  a 
broom.  She  had  her  contacts  out  and  thought 
they  were  dorm  rats. 

By  the  time  I  was  a  middler,  I  was  beginning 
to  grow  tired  of  entertaining  my  10  friends.  It 
occurred  to  me  that  my  roommate  was 
probably  right.  I  started  to  learn  how  to  go  to 
bed  alone  and  to  appreciate  the  extra 
space.  I  guess  I  was  much  too  old  to  still  have 
so  many  stuffed  animals. 


I 

^    t's  your  first  time  away  from  home. 
You've  just  moved  into  a  dorm  or  apartment  and 
you  feel  a  surge  of  independence.  You  can  do 
anything  you  want  and  no  one  is  going  to  bother 
you. 

After  your  first  week  away  from  home  you  stop 
making  your  bed.  In  fact,  you  forget  how  to. 
Your  mother  always  forced  you  to  make  your 
bed  and  you  want  to  prove  to  yourself  that  you 
are  on  your  own  now. 

You  don't  shave  for  three  weeks.  You  come 
home  late  and  skip  dinner.  You  wear  your  most 
faded  jeans.  Then,  one  day  you  discover  that 
your  most  faded  jeans,  and  every  other  article  of 
clothing  you  own  are  ready  for  a  night  on  the 
town  without  you.  You  now  realize  why  the  cute 
girl  in  Sociology  sat  next  to  you  for  only  five 
minutes.  Laundry  day  has  arrived. 

After  throwing  all  of  your  clothes  into  a  big  bag 
you  head  for  the  nearest  washing  machines. 
Luckily,  you  have  a  lot  of  change  because 
washing  machines  and  clothing  dryers  are 
expensive  and  no  one  will  change  a  dollar 
anymore. 

If  you're  like  me.  you'll  travel  the  economical 
route  and  throw  all  of  your  clothes  into  the  same 
machine  regardless  of  color.  It  is  difficult  to  adjust 
to  an  all  pink  wardrobe,  but  not  impossible. 

On  your  second  laundry  day  experience  you 
learn  to  be  even  more  economical  by  letting 
your  clothes  dry  naturally,  all  over  your 
apartment. 

And,  on  what  would  be  your  third  laundry  day 
experience  you  decide  to  take  a  totally  different 
route.  You  throw  all  of  your  dirty  clothes  into  the 
familiar  bag  and  head  home  to  mother. 


i\ 


'fter  one  year  of  dorm  food, 
which  ultimately  required  heavy  doses  of 
Pepto-Bismol  and/or  Maalox,  the  opportunity 
to  cook  in  my  apartment  was  gladly 
welcomed. 

Some  of  my  early  excitement  with  cooking 
freedom  resulted  in  attempts  at  12  course 
meals,  complete  with  appetizer.  However, 
enthusiasm  quickly  dwindled  down  to  the 
quickest  and  cheapest  meals  imaginable. 

This  monotony  was  broken  when  I  moved 
into  a  larger  apartment  with  more 
roommates.  We  discovered  that  buying  and 
cooking  together  offered  a  great  variety.  Plus, 
each  person  took  turns  preparing  his  or  her 
speciality.  (However,  this  factor  created  the 
need  for  careful  selection  for  roommates. 
Graduates  of  gourmet  schools  were  sought 
after,  while  pastry  and  dessert  majors  were 
always  favorites.) 

However,  if  you  were  unfortunate  enough 
to  find  roommates  with  the  same  levels  of 
cooking  expertise  as  myself,  the  menus  were 
quickly  reduced  to  the  old  classic  stand-bys. 
Perhaps  some  of  these  recipes  will  ring  a 
familiar  bell  .  .  . 

A  La  Macaroni  &  Cheese 

Boil  water,  add  contents  of  box  and  mix 
according  to  directions.  Note:  Eat  before 
substance  hardens  to  firm  structure. 

Tube  Steaks  'n  Whistle  Beans 

(Franks  and  Beans) 

Boil  franks  until  bouncy.  Open  can  of  beans 
and  heat  in  pan.  Note:  Don't  plan  on  going 
out  in  public  this  evening.  Stay  close  to  a 
facility. 

Tuna  Noodle  Casserole  - 

The  only  guidelines  for  this  recipe  are  that 
you  use  tunafish  and  noodles  somewhere  in 
the  dish.  As  for  the  other  ingredients: 
ignorance  is  bliss. 

P.B.  &  J. 

(Better  known  as  Peanut  Butter  &  Jelly) 

Breakfast,  lunch  and  dinner.  Note:  Use 
enough  jelly  so  that  you  can  swallow  and/or 
breathe. 

A  La  Bologna  Sandwich 

There's  not  much  that  one  can  do  to  a 
bologna  sandwich  that  will  ruin  its  distinctive 
flavor.  Even  peanut  butter  and  sardines  can 
be  used  as  compliments  to  this  sandwich. 

Egg 

Hardboiled,  soft  boiled,  or  even  raw  if  you're 
in  a  hurry  .  .  .  Almost  every  student  becomes 
an  omelet  expert  immediately. 

Noodles 

Boil  any  noodle  available  and  top  with 
anything  of  your  choice.  Or  boil  any  noodle  of 
your  choice  and  top  with  anything  available. 

Saltines 

Yes,  these  have  been  a  meal — especially 
after  a  night  out  on  the  town. 

Last,  but  not  least  .  .  . 

Grilled  Cheese  Sandwich 

This  (thrifty,  almost  fancy)  is  considered  a 
hot  meal.  Perhaps  you  may  serve  this  to 
company.  Proper  preparation  is  as  follows: 
place  cheese  in  between  two  slices  of  bread 
and  toss  in  toaster  oven  for  3-5  minutes. 

During  this  3-5  minute  period,  there  is 
enough  time  to  decide  that  you  really  want 
to  go  to  Pizzeria  Uno  for  dinner,  instead.  Who 
really  wants  another  grilled  cheese  sandwich 
again  anyways? 

Bon  appetit!

tudying  is  not  the  most  exciting 
thing  in  the  world.  In  fact,  it  often  is  a  pain. 
There  are  those  who  adore  pain  but,  then 
again,  there  are  those  who  adore  eating 
frogs  legs.  I  like  to  study  if  I'm  interested  in  the 
subject  I'm  studying.  If  I'm  not  interested  in  the 
subject  I'm  studying,  I  go  to  K's  Restaurant. 
They  have  the  best  frogs  legs  in  town. 

Some  people  will  listen  to  music  if  they  can't 
concentrate  on  their  studies.  Others  may  go 
to  a  gym  to  work  out  or  jog,  or  to  a  bar  for  a 
beer  or  two  or  three.  Everyone  has  his  own 
method  of  beginning  concentration. 

There  are  those  who  study  every  night  and 
there  are  those  who  don't.  The  people  who 
don't  are  the  people  who  stay  up  72  hours 
during  finals  week  and  look  like  it.  They  drink 
enough  coffee  to  fill  Boston  Harbor,  make  the 
corner  drug  store  independently  wealthy 
enough  through  their  purchases  of  "I  refuse  to 
go  to  sleep"  pills,  and  keep  their  roommates 
awake  with  the  tap,  tap,  tapping  of  their 
typewriter  keys.  No  one  sees  them  after  finals 
because  they've  gone  to  sleep  for  two 
weeks. 

They  will  be  back  though,  studying  hard  for 
the  first  couple  weeks  of  the  semester, 
vowing  never  to  cram  at  the  last  minute 
again,  and  somehow  finding  something  more 
important  to  do  than  study.  Change  is  never 
easy. 


E 


ating  at  fancy  restaurants,  like 
most  things'" has  its  good  and  bad  points.  Once 
you  know  which  fork  and  glass  to  use.  you  will 
begin  a  journey  that  will  either  leave  you  feeling 
very  satisfied  or  very  ill. 

Eating  out  should  actually  be  a  sport.  Picture 
this;  all  of  the  eaters  line  up  at  the  door,  a  bell 
rings  and  they're  off! 

Audrey  goes  for  the  nearest  table  and  orders 
her  meal  right  away  so  she  can  quickly  run  to  the 
salad  bar.  Lettuce,  macaroni  salad,  tomatoes, 
onions,  croutons,  and  creamy  italian  dressing  are 
her  choices.  She  quickly  darts  back  to  her  seat. 
Bread  and  soup  are  there  waiting  for  her.  Just  as 
she's  finishing  her  salad,  bread,  and  soup,  the 
waitress  brings  the  main  dish-fillet  of  sole  sauteed 
in  butter  and  delicately  baked  in  a  Ritz  cracker 
stuffing.  After  the  meal  is  finished,  she  orders  a 
piece  of  carrot  cake  with  cream  cheese  frosting. 
Burp!  The  race  is  over  and  Audrey  has  lost  to 
Fats  Dominic  from  Cincinnatti. 

When  eating  out,  depending  on  the  restaurant 
you  eat  at,  you  should  make  sure  you  don't  eat 
too  much.  Some  fancy  restaurants  may  be 
expensive  but  do  not  serve  enough  food  to 
enable  a  person  to  eat  too  much.  If  you  do  plan 
to  eat  too  much  though,  make  sure  you  bring 
gum  and  wear  expandable  pants. 


I 

%    t's  10;00.  Do  you  know  where  your 
children  are?"  -  That's  easy,  Mom.  If  it's  Tuesday 
night.  I'm  at  Punters;  if  it's  Wednesday  night  I'm 
at  Sidelines.  Of  course,  I  also  do  my  studying. 
Dad.  In  fact.  I'm  headed  towards  Dodge  library 
right  now.  (I'm  headed  towards  it,  but  I'm  only 
going  as  far  as  "mug  night"  at  the  Cask) 

Of  course,  my  social  life  wasn't  always  like  this. 
It  all  started  during  my  freshmen  year,  as  I  found 
myself  attending  Red  Sox  games  at  Fenway  Park. 
Well,  after  just  one  ballgame  out  in  the  bleachers 
with  a  few  icy  brews  in  hand,  I  was  a  Sox  fan 
forever. 

Now  I  had  certainly  heard  about  Boston's 
famous  Freedom  Trail,  but  boy  was  I  surprised  to 
find  out  just  how  much  fun  walking  it  could  be. 
You  see,  the  real  Freedom  Trail  starts  at  Tom 
Foolerys',  (on  the  corner  of  Newbury  St.)  and 
works  its  way  down  to  the  Commons.  After  two 
or  three  drinks  at  Daisy  Buchanons,  you  begin  to 
realize  that  if  any  trail  can  set  you  free,  this  is  it! 
You  wind  up  at  the  Ritz  Carlton,  and  if  you  look 
nice  enough  for  them  to  seat  you,  then  you 
know  that  you  must  have  missed  a  few  bars 
along  the  way. 

And  of  course,  a  romp  through  Boston's  night 
life  would  hardly  be  complete  without  a  visit  to 
the  Black  Rose,  Lilys',  and  all  of  the  other  hot 
spots  in  Fanueil  Hall.  If  the  marketplace  were  this 
rowdy  in  1776,  then  the  Boston  Tea  Party  would 
probably  have  been  an  argument  in  Froggs 
Lane  over  how  to  mix  the  perfect  Long  Island  Ice 
Tea. 

And  this  college  party  life  is  not  just  fun  and 
games  (and  hangovers).  It  did  wonders  for  my 
manners.  After  five  years  of  massive  quarters 
games,  I  don't  think  I'll  ever  point  again! 

Now  I'm  older  and  wiser.  I've  got  my  degree 
(God  willing)  and  I'm  ready  for  the  9  to  5  grind.  I 
only  hope  that  wherever  I  wind  up  making  my 
living  has  a  night  life  as  great  as  Boston's!  Cheers!

Immediate  Seating ^voM^l 


Q 


n  behalf  of  Northeastern 
University,  I  would  like  to  welcome  you  to  the 
historic  city  of  Boston.  I  know  we've  all  been 
here  for  five  long  years,  but  how  much  of 
Boston  have  we  really  seen?  From  the  banks 
of  the  Charles  to  the  Top  of  the  Hub,  this  city 
is  filled  with  many  scenic  wonders  and  points 
of  interest. 

Take  Friday's,  for  instance:  l"m  sure  we've 
all  waited  outside  of  that  establishment  (for  at 
least  an  hour)  at  some  point  in  our  illustrious 
careers  at  Northeastern.  Other  saloons  we're 
probably  all  familiar  with  are  The  Bull  and  Finch 
Pub  (alias  "Cheers")  and  of  course  the  ever 
popular  Cask  and  Flagon  (not  too  scenic  but 
there  for  us).  Man  does  not  live  by  bread 
alone. 

For  all  you  culture-conscious  citizens  there 
are  the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts,  Symphony  Hall, 
and  Horticulture  Hall  (you  gotta  have  arts!). 

If  that's  too  heavy  for  you,  Boston  is  also 
home  to  the  Museum  of  Science,  the 
Aquarium,  and  the  Exeter  Street  Theater 
("Let's  do  the  Time  Warp  again!") 

For  the  adventurous  souls,  the  Combat  Zone 
has  no  doubt  been  a  source  of  excitement 
and  intrigue  in  your  stay  in  Boston,  as  well  as  a 
part  of  continuing  education.  Right  next  door 
you'll  find  Chinatown  with  its  many  fine  (and 
cheap)  restaurants.  I  hope  all  of  you  had  a 
chance  to  drop  by  and  visit  Bob  Lee's.  He 
offers  a  course  in  decorating  no  one  should 
miss. 

Last  but  not  least,  what  stay  in  Boston 
would  be  complete  without  a  trip  along  the 
Freedom  Trail-or  at  least  part  of  it.  Here  you'll 
find  the  Old  North  Church,  the  USS 
Constitution,  and  Bunker  Hill  monument  (kinda 
makes  you  feel  rebellious  doesn't  it?)  Also  on 
the  Freedom  Trail  are  the  Commons,  those 
little  swan  boats,  and  probably  the  most 
popular  site  in  Boston-Fanueil  Hall.  Who  could 
pass  up  all  that  food  and  drink  or  all  those 
cute  little  shops  filled  with  trinkets  you  have  no 
real  use  for  but  can't  resist? 

To  anyone  who  missed  out  on  any  of  these 
points  of  interest  while  at  Northeastern:  where 
the  hell  have  you  been  for  five  years,  hiding 
under  a  rock?!? 

To  the  rest  of  you,  I  hope  you  enjoyed 
Boston  as  much  as  I  did.  This  city  holds  many 
fond  memories  for  me.  I  hope  your 
experiences  here  have  been  as  memorable 
as  mine.

»t  one  time  I  was  a  brand-new 
pair  of  "brand  name"  running  shoes.  When  I  was 
sitting  on  the  store  shelf.  I  was  really  looking 
forward  to  getting  a  new  home.  I  was  getting 
bored  with  looking  at  these  people  pass  through 
the  store  and  choose  other  shoes  to  adopt. 
(When  you're  a  pair  of  shoes,  you  can't  get  up 
and  walk  around  by  yourself.) 

Well,  one  Friday  afternoon  a  young  man 
walked  into  the  store  and  tried  me  on.  He  was  a 
perfect  fit  for  me — size  11.  I  was  ecstatic.  Finally  I 
would  get  to  play  baseball,  frisbee,  and  soccer. 
How  I  was  yearning  for  some  serious  exercise! 

My  new  owner  looked  like  your  average  guy— 
an  athletic  type  who  would  take  good  care  of 
me.  Little  did  I  know  .  .  .  horror  of  horrors,  my 
new  owner.  Redd  Taype,  was  a  Northeastern 
student.  Instead  of  running  around  a  baseball 
diamond,  I  would  be  running  around  the  campus 
of  the  largest  private  university  in  the  country! 

Our  first  day  out  together  was  a  Monday.  It 
was  registration  day.  I  got  taken  up  to  a  fourth 
floor  room  where  my  owner  was  told  his 
registration  packet  was  missing.  We  were  sent  to 
the  Registrar's  office,  which  was  on  the  first  floor 
of  a  building  on  the  other  side  of  the  campus. 
The  Registrar's  office  didn't  have  his  packet,  so 
we  were  sent  to  a  Ballroom  where  we  had  to 
stand  in  line  to  fill  out  a  missing  packet  form.  (It 
was  here  that  I  had  my  first  experience  with  a 
pair  of  generic  sneakers — I  was  stepped  on!) 

When  we  finally  made  it  to  the  front  of  the  line 
in  the  Ballroom,  they  told  us  they  were  out  of 
missing  packet  forms  and  they  sent  us  to  another 
office.  This  one  looked  like  a  condemned 
warehouse  from  the  outside  ...  I  didn't  want  to 
go  in,  but  I  was  powerless  to  stop  him.  The  inside 
wasn't  as  terrible  as  the  outside  and  we  climbed 
to  the  fifth  floor  and  filled  out  more  forms.  We 
returned  and  presented  it  in  the  Ballroom.  It  was 
filled  out  wrong.  We  were  sent  back  to  the  same 
office,  got  a  new  form  and  returned  it  to  the 
Ballroom.  It  was  correctly  filled  out  but  it  didn't 
have  the  signature  of  the  Dean  of  Students.  I 
think  the  last  time  I  saw  that  stupid  form  it  was 
being  returned  in  the  ballroom  and  we  were  told 
to  pick  up  a  packet  on  Wednesday. 

I  must  have  been  dragged  20  miles  that  day! 
My  poor  owner  was  exhausted.  I  was  just  glad 
that  the  worst  was  over.  But  it  wasn't.  The  next 
day  we  had  to  run  around  to  straighten  out  his 
schedule.  We  had  to  buys  books,  pay  tuition. 
Everywhere,  we  got  the  runaround.  And  it  didn't 
even  stop  after  the  first  week.  Every  day  for  five 
years  we  encountered  the  same  thing.  I  didn't 
even  get  weekends  or  holidays  off,  he  took  me 
in  every  day.  On  weekends  we  would  run  around 
campus  looking  for  study  space,  a  computer 
terminal  or  for  a  missing  lab  partner.  The  only 
time  I  got  a  break  from  this  routine  was  when 
Redd  was  on  co-op.  (Then  he  was  too  ashamed 
to  take  me  to  work.  He  wore  a  pair  of  shiny 
wingtips  instead.) 

Redd  is  going  to  graduate  at  the  end  of  this 
week.  Thank  goodness.  Five  years  at 
Northeastern  have  killed  me.  My  soles  have 
several  holes  in  them.  The  fabric  is  torn  and 
discolored.  I'm  covered  with  mud.  paint  and 
grease.  I'm  still  wet  from  the  last  rainstorm  that 
Redd  walked  to  class  in  .  .  (The  smell  is  driving 
even  me  crazy.)  My  laces,  which  are  shredded 
at  the  ends,  haven't  been  replaced  since  the 
last  tuition  increase.  Three  of  my  eyelets  are  torn 
off.  My  tongue  is  half  ripped.  Oh,  well,  it's  almost 
over.  Pretty  soon  I  won't  be  walking  around  this 
ugly  old  campus  anymore  ....  I  wonder  if  he'll 
take  me  to  graduation  .  .  .

've  heard  stories  about  a  student  going 
to  an  office  and  having  his  problem  solved  right 
away.  I  can't  say  I  have  actually  met  this  person, 
but  I  do  believe  that  he  or  she  exists.  It. must 
have  happened  to  at  least  one  person  in  the  last 
five  years.  The  system  had  to  work  for 
somebody. 

When  I  have  a  problem,  it  seems  I  have  to 
stop  in  every  office  on  campus  to  solve  it. 
Registration  Day  is  a  prime  example.  My  first  stop 
is  the  registration  room  to  get  my  packet.  Here  I 
get  a  pretty  pink  block  card  which  sends  me  to 
my  next  stop:  250  Richards.  Here  I'm  told  that  I 
owe  more  money.  What  for? 

"Well.  I  don't  know.  Maybe  you  should  go  to 
Financial  Aid."  is  the  not-too-pleasant  reply  as  I 
am  pointed  in  the  direction  of  "stop  three." 

By  the  time  I  leave  Financial  Aid,  everyone  in 
the  office  must  know  my  name,  rank  and  ID 
number.  I'm  told  that  my  file  is  lost  and  my  aid 
will  be  delayed.  They  give  me  what  appears  to 
be  a  note  from  my  mommy  and  shuffle  me  off  to 
the  Bursars  office.  I  can  hear  all  of  them  laughing 
on  my  way  out  the  door. 

The  hours  fly  by  on  this  office-by-office  tour.  By 
the  time  it  is  over,  my  late  fees  are  higher  than 
my  quarterly  tuition.  But,  at  least  I  am  granted  an 
eight  week  deferrment  and  a  "count  me  in" 
card.  I  can  begin  to  feel  optimistic  about  the 
coming  sememster. 

BUT,  my  hopes  are  dashed  as  I  rummage 
through  my  packet. 

The  electives  I  had  preregistered  for  are  not  on 
my  schedule.  Of  course.  It's  off  to  the  Ballroom  to 
"do  a  few  lines."  (An  energetic  entrepreneur 
could  make  a  bundle  by  opening  a  bar  in  that 
Ballroom  during  registration.  The  Ballroom  and 
Flagon— It  might  make  registration  worth  the 
wait.) 

Once  I'm  through  In  the  ballroom,  you'd  think 
my  next  stop  would  be  home.  Not  me.  I'm  a 
glutton  for  punishment.  I  head  for  Cabot.  Not  to 
work  out,  but  to  find  a  place  to  work. 

The  line  for  work  study  resembles  a  class 
reunion  of  sorts.  I  see  people  that  I  haven't 
talked  to  in  six  months  and  probably  won't  see 
for  another  six.  Once  we  have  our  jobs,  we  all 
go  our  separate  ways. 

My  first  day  is  almost  complete.  Of  course, 
things  will  get  more  confused  as  the  quarter 
progresses.  It  happens  every  year:  pre- 
registration,  pay  slips,  lost  IDs,  parking  stickers, 
housing  deposits  and  final  exam  "conflict  forms." 
I  worry  about  those  hassles  as  they  come.  But 
until  then.  I'll  be  at  the  one  office  where 
problems  are  solved  without  any  questions  and  ID 
numbers:  The  Cask  and  Flagon.

*o  the  majority  of  us,  religion  plays  a 
certain  role  in  our  lives.  We  come  from  varied 
beliefs  and  practice  our  faiths  to  different 
degrees,  but  there  is  one  place  where  all  of 
these  religions  can  be  found  together  -  the 
Religious  Life  Office  in  207  EL.  At  least  fourteen 
religions  are  represented  there,  with  chaplains 
present  in  behalf  of  four  of  them.  The  newly 
redecorated  Bacon  Chapel  in  211  EL  is  used  for  a 
number  of  gatherings  of  different  faiths,  including 
Moslem  worship  services  on  Fridays,  Christian 
prayer  services  on  Tuesdays,  and  special  masses 
at  various  times  throughout  the  year. 

The  chaplains  and  others  closely  involved  with 
the  office  emphasize  that  religion  is  much  bigger 
than  the  Religious  Life  Office  itself,  and  one  of 
the  foremost  goals  of  the  office  is  to  integrate 
the  whole  campus  -  shown  by  their  involvement 
in  Alcohol  Awareness  week  and  the  Oxfam  Fast. 

The  four  religions  with  chaplains  representing 
them  include  the  Lutheran  Ministry,  Episcopal 
Ministry,  Roman  Catholic  Ministry,  and  the  Jewish 
Chaplaincy.  According  to  religious  preferance 
cards  filled  out  by  students  in  Fall  of  1983, 
approximately  60%  of  the  students  at  NU  are 
Catholic,  and  almost  30%  are  Jewish  .  .  . 

Hillel  House  is  a  place  where  Jewish  students  at 
NU  are  helped  to  follow  their  traditions,  beliefs, 
and  rituals.  Hillel  offers  various  types  of  activities, 
including  brunches,  speakers,  picnics,  happy 
hours,  a  dating  service,  and  of  course  the 
Sabbath  services.  These  activities  are  attended 
regularly  by  at  least  one  third  of  NU's  Jewish 
population.  Hillel's  events  are  publicized  by 
posters  around  campus  and  the  NU  Events  Line. 

There  are  currently  three  people  managing  the 
social  events  and  religious  services  at  Hillel  House. 
In  addition  to  Rabbi  Paul  Levenson  are  Carolyn 
Bralow.  the  Administrative  Director,  and 
Jacqueline  Hallo,  Program  Director.

-^^or  many  of  Northeastern's  students. 
St.  Ann's  Parish  plays  an  important  role  in  their 
everyday  lives.  It  satisfies  a  need  to  pray, 
reflect,  and  belong.  It  provides  direction  on 
how  to  serve  the  church  and  the  community. 
Whether  you  have  been  be  a  faithful 
attendant  or  someone  who  goes  occasionally, 
the  experience  has  probably  touched  a  part 
of  you. 

Traditionally  the  archdiocese  of  Boston  has 
provided  campus  ministers  for  Northeastern. 
Before  1979,  the  Paulist  Fathers  ran  St.  Ann's 
and  primarily  served  area  residents.  In  August 
of  1979  the  Paulist  Fathers  left  the  parish  and 
the  chaplaincies  for  all  the  colleges  in  the 
area  were  combined  with  St.  Ann's.  Only  in 
the  last  four  years  has  St.  Ann's  become  a 
student  parish.  Besides  NU,  the  parish  serves 
many  of  the  area's  schools. 

The  primary  goals  of  St.  Ann's  are  to 
provide  a  good  worship  experience,  to  help 
students  through  personal  crises,  to  educate 
them  how  to  explore  faith  and  morality,  and 
to  provide  a  social  environment.  The  parish 
also  serves  as  a  mediator  between  area 
residents,  the  large  volume  of  students,  and 
with  the  institution  of  Northeastern.  It  helps  to 
bridge  the  gap  between  individuals  of  diverse 
backgrounds  and  needs. 

Father  Frank  Fairbarn,  Pastor  of  St  Ann's,  says 
despite  vast  differences,  the  elderly  love 
having  the  students  around — they  enjoy  the 
crowded  streets  and  the  atmosphere  of 
safety.  The  elderly  genuinely  miss  the  student 
presence  during  vacations  and  long 
weekends. 

The  church  staff  finds  the  students  to  be 
extremely  open,  responsive  and  dedicated. 
Prior  to  1979,  100  to  150  students  worshiped 
at  St.  Ann's.  Today  the  number  approaches 
1000. 

Student  involvement  in  the  parish  transcends 
attending  Mass.  Many  serve  the  church  and 
community  by  delivering  groceries  to  the 
elderly,  serving  as  eucharistic  minsters, 
participating  in  the  choir,  and  helping  with 
church  renovations. 

Father  Frank  says  students  are  going 
through  a  healthy  questioning  of  their  faith  as 
they  move  into  adulthood.  They're  exploring 
what  God  and  Christ  have  to  do  with  their 
lives  and  how  they  can  make  the  church  their 
home,  a  place  to  live  and  grow.  St.  Ann's 
helps  to  guide  individuals  in  the  struggles  they 
face  every  day. 

As  pastor,  Frank  believes  the  future 
accomplishments  of  St.  Ann's  lie  in  the  goals 
of  the  entire  parish  staff.  They  would  like 
students  to  realize  how  faith  interacts  with 
their  careers,  to  help  young  people  have  a 
better  understanding  about  family  life  and 
marriage. 

And  what  is  Father  Frank's  favorite  number? 
Three,  symbolizing  the  holy  spirit,  the  holy 
scripture,  and  the  holy  church.  Representing, 
"the  spirit  of  God  living  in  the  community 
called  church,  that  is  bound  together  by  the 
word  of  God  in  the  Scriptures,"  said  Father 
Frank.

uring  my  stay  at  N.U.  I  often 
have  suffered  a  shortage  of  money.  To  help 
ease  this  shortage.  I  discovered  the  wonders 
of  the  part-time  job. 

My  first  job  as  a  college  student  was  in  an 
ice  cream  store.  I  had  the  wonderful  job  of 
bussing  tables  at  an  establishment  that  had  a 
habit  of  putting  too  much  hot  fudge  on  their 
sundaes  .  .  .  Sure,  there  were  fringe  benefits.  I 
could  eat  all  the  ice  cream  I  wanted.  But  I 
had  to  work  every  weekend  and  several 
nights  .  .  .  which  was  a  bummer.  So  I  quit. 

My  next  job  was  in  a  supermarket  as  a 
bagger.  Before  I  could  begin  work  I  had  to 
join  the  union.  This  required  a  large  initiation 
fee  on  my  part:  $65.  For  that  sum  of  money  I 
gained  nothing  except  a  few  pennies  over 
minimum  wage.  I  still  had  to  work  weekends 
(getting  a  weekend  off  at  a  supermarket  is 
like  getting  a  ticket  on  the  space  shuttle.) 
And  I  had  to  face  a  few  hundred  cranky 
customers  every  day.  THAT  I  couldn't  handle. 
So  I  quit. 

At  another  time  I  had  a  job  in  a 
convenience  store.  Most  of  the  time  I  was  the 
only  one  in  the  store  (because  I  worked 
nights)  so  I  had  no  one  looking  over  my 
shoulder.  Of  course  I  was  an  easy  target  for 
robbery  .  .  .  But  alas.  I  still  had  to  work 
weekends  and  got  no  employee  discounts.  So 
I  quit. 

I  also  worked  at  a  gas  station.  What  a  bore. 
I  had  to  listen  to  hundreds  of  irate  customers 
complain  about  the  price  of  gas  while  they 
were  filling  their  tanks  at  the  self-service 
pumps.  I  didn't  do  very  much  but  of  course  I 
was  stuck  working  weekends,  and  was  paid 
exactly  minimum  wage.  And  to  make  matters 
worse,  my  relief  did  not  believe  in  showing  up 
any  earlier  than  three  hours  late  ...  So  I  quit. 

I  had  a  job  Burger  King  for  about  one  day.  I 
went  in  long  enough  for  one  day  of  training.  I 
thought  I  would  be  in  for  another  boring  job  in 
which  I  had  to  work  weekends.  But  I  was 
wrong.  For  on  that  very  day  I  learned  that  I 
had  been  granted  financial  aid  in  the  form  of 
work/study.  I  was  in  heaven  (or  was  I)? 

Work /study  did  bring  in  more  money 
($1  more  than  minimum  wage).  And  I  was 
working  on  campus  between  classes  (at  last  a 
part-time  employer  who  understands  student 
needs!)  And  finally,  weekends  free!  In 
exchange  for  these  wonderful  benefits.  I  used 
to  sit  in  the  Ell  Center  information  booth  and 
tell  people  where  to  go.  Now  THAT  was  the 
best  benefit  of  all! 


N 


ame  the  "full-time"  college 
job  that  requires  a  person  who  is  part 
psychologist,  part  social  activities  coordinator, 
part  live-in  "sitter"  and  part  superhuman. 

If  you  guessed  "RA",  you're  right. 

Being  a  resident  assistant  is  a  rewarding, 
enjoyable  and  never-ending  job  that  really 
keeps  you  busy,  said  Gregg  LeBlanc.  an  RA  at 
Stetson  East  Dormitory. 

"It's  a  lot  of  work,  but  it's  also  challenging 
and  fun,"  said  Stephanie  Colonero,  a 
communications  major  and  RA  at  407 
Huntington  ave. 

A  resident  assistant's  primary  responsibility  is 
to  help  new  students  adjust  to  college  life. 
And  quite  frequently  this  means  that  they  are 
the  ones  that  students  turn  to  when  problems 
arise. 

"I  was  faced  with  a  situation  this  year  in 
which  two  people  were  unhappy  with  their 
living  arrangements,"  said  Tina  St.  John,  an 
Economics  major.  "As  a  result  of  this  situation, 
they  wanted  to  make  changes  that  ultimately 
would  affect  six  other  people." 

As  an  RA  it  was  St.  John's  responsibility  to 
listen  to  the  students  and  help  figure  out  a 
solution. 

"We  talked  about  the  problems  and 
decided  they  were  solvable.  When  students 
are  in  their  first  year  of  college,  it's  usually 
their  first  time  away  from  home  and 
everything  becomes  a  big  problem.  They  tend 
to  avoid  situations.  It's  the  R.A.'s  responsibility 
to  help  them  learn  to  deal  with  these 
situations  instead  of  avoid  them,"  said  St. 
John. 

"It's  this  type  of  experience  that  makes  a 
resident  assistant's  job  educational,  rewarding, 
challenging  satisfying,  and  sometimes 
frustrating,"  she  said. 

Matt  Sinclair,  a  business  administration  major, 
had  to  deal  with  conflict  between  two 
roommates,  but  he  found  it  necessary  to 
separate  them-physically. 

"These  two  girls  ended  up  moving  away 
from  each  other  because  they  had  a  fight 
over  the  color  of  their  shower  curtain,"  Sinclair 
said.  In  the  process,  they  ripped  down  the 
curtain  while  their  collective  friends  watched 
and  cheered  them  on. 

"I  had  to  break  it  up  because  they  were 
ripping  each  other's  clothes  off  and  literally 
destroying  each  other's  garments." 

"The  reason  I  remember  it  so  well,  is 
because  the  fight  was  so  nasty!"  "I'd  never 
go  between  two  women  fighting  again,"  said 
Sinclair. 

Criminal  justice  major  Donna  Carver  said, 
"The  nice  part  about  being  an  RA  is  the 
feedback  you  get  when  you  can  help 
students  with  a  problem. 

Carver  is  an  RA  at  White  Hall  where  she 
recently  had  to  help  out  a  freshman  on  her 
floor  whose  mother  had  died.      "She  was 
constantly  getting  upset  and  this  upset  the 
other  girls  who  didn't  know  what  she  was 
going  through.  My  father  passed  away  so  I 
could  relate  to  her  feelings.  One  night  she  got 
carried  away  so  I  asked  to  see  her.  I  related 
my  own  experience  to  her  recent  experience 
and  told  her  that  her  mother  is  not  here 
physically,  but  is  here  mentally,"  Carver  said. 

Carver  said  she  later  asked  the  girl's 
roommate  if  things  had  improved  and  was 
told  that  the  discussion  had  helped. 

"She  now  talks  about  her  mother,  as  I  had 
suggested  she  do,  and  has  been  in  better 
spirits.  This  is  significant  feedback  to  what  my 
job  as  an  RA  asks  of  me,"  she  said. 

A  RA  also  is  responsible  for  what  goes  on 
throughout  his  or  her  building.  This  includes 
security  and  fire  precautions.  Colonero  said. 


"We  had  a  major  fire  in  407  Huntington  a 
couple  of  years  ago.  It  started  on  the  third 
floor  but  worked  its  way  up  to  the  fifth  floor. 
Although  the  fire  was  during  the  day  and 
most  of  the  students  were  out  of  the  building, 
the  whole  housing  staff  was  there  in  about 
four  minutes. 

"Northeastern  did  a  really  good  job.  This 
was  the  first  big  blaze  Northeastern  had  ever 
had  and  things  were  handled  very 
competently,"  said  Colonero. 

An  RA  also  is  a  friend  and  a  mother,  LeBlanc 
said.  "At  the  beginning  of  the  quarter  when 
the  residents  don't  know  you're  an  RA,  they 
invite  you  into  their  dorm  rooms  for  a  beer. 
They're  just  trying  to  be  sociable  and  nice  to 
you  but  you  have  to  go  in  and  discipline  them 
and  explain  to  them  that  you're  an  RA.  How 
they  respond  to  you  afterward  is  different. 
They're  still  friendly  but  they're  also  more 
cautious.  The  way  they  look  at  you  is 
different,  too,"  he  said. 

Being  an  RA  requires  a  substantial  amount 
of  responsibility.  It  requires  a  person  to  take  on 
many  roles  .  .  .  Whether  it's  dorm  parent, 
psychologist,  social  leader  or  friend.

o  the  registrar's  office,  the 
bursar's  office,  financial  aid  and  admissions, 
you're  just  a  number.  And  communication  is 
restricted  to  computer  cards  or  a  rare  in- 
person  plea  for  help  when  crises  occur. 

But,  to  the  25.000  or  so  students  around  you 
and  a  sprinkling  of  professors,  you're  an 
individual.  Instantly  identified  by  what  you  look 
like,  and  what  you  have  on  your  back. 

Because  you  are  what  you  wear.  Clothes 
speak.  Whether  you  want  to  say.  "I'm 
practical,"  "I'm  one-of-a-kind,"  "I'm  up  on  the 
trends"  or  "I  don't  care." 

Call  it  mass  communication  .  .  .  call  it 
personal  expression  .  .  .  but  every  day  at 
Northeastern  is  a  fashion  show.  And, 
depending  on  the  weather,  the  quad  or  the 
tunnels  serve  as  the  runways. 

For  the  record,  the  Cauldron's  fashion- 
minded  staff  has  chronicled  half-a-decade 
worth  of  styles.  You'll  find  that  they've  been 
categorized  for  easy  reference.  But,  as  you 
probably  know,  Northeastern's  style  is  hard  to 
pin  down  .  .  . 

THE  PRACTICAL  COLLECTION:  From  dorm  to 
class  to  Cask.  This  sensible,  no-nonsense  line  of 
apparel  will  never  go  out  of  style.  At  least  not 
on  the  college  campus  where  casual,  sturdy 
and  inexpensive  items  are  the  norm.  The 
basics  for  this  traditional  ensemble  include: 
Lee's  or  Levi's  jeans  and  cords,  oxford  cloth 
and  other  cotton  shirts,  flannel  shirts,  crew 
neck  sweaters,  T-shirts  of  all  varieties 
(especially  if  they're  free).  Bean  boots,  Nikes, 
Dr.  Scholl's  and  flip-flops. 

THE  PREP  COLLECTION:  Traditional  wear  not 
to  be  confused  with  practical  wear.  (After  all, 
what's  so  practical  about  six  layers  of 
alternating  pink  and  green  garments?)  On 
female  preppies,  look  for:  turtlenecks,  alligator 
shirts,  oxford  cloth  button  downs  with  ribbon 
ties.  Fair  Isle  sweaters,  chinos  (floods),  wide 
wale  corduroys  (also  floods),  plaid  kilts, 
madras  print  dresses,  knee  socks,  loafers 
(without  socks)  and  Bean  boots.  On  the  men, 
you'll  find  much  of  the  same  (minus  the 
dresses  and  skirts  in  most  cases).  Add  in. 
however,  one  or  two  good  tweed  blazers 
with  contrasting  patches.  V-neck  pullovers, 
hideous  plaid  pants  and  of  course,  nautical 
ties.  You  can  find  all  these  items  in  a  wide 
variety  of  colors:  pink,  kelly  green,  red,  navy, 
yellow  and  white.  (With  coordinating 
headbands  and  hair  ribbons  for  the  ladies) 
Note:  Alligator  shirts  may  be  tough  to  find. 
Since  the  Spring/Summer  of  1981,  Ralph 
Lauren's  Polo  shirts  have  been  giving  those 
gators  a  run  for  the  money.  Even  among  the 
most  devout  preps. 

THE  PUNK/NEW  WAVE  COLLECTION:  From 
basic  jeans  to  designers'  couture-many  of  the 
1980s  fashions  have  been  inspired  by  punk  and 
New  Wave  movements.  Afficiandos  may 
cringe  at  the  collision  of  these  two  categories, 
however  the  clothes  are  offspring  of  the 
same  subculture.  It's  an  attitude  of  rebellion 
against  things  conservative. 

The  color  black  is  absolutely  correct. 
Always.  As  are  red,  fuchsia,  turquoise, 
mustard,  royal,  and  animal  prints  when 
teamed  with  black.  Attire  includes:  tight 
cropped  pants,  leather  pants,  leather  jackets 
with  zippers,  jackets  with  padded  shoulders, 
camouflage  pants,  military  attire,  Vintage 
wool  coats,  and  scarves.  Also,  shirts  and 
dresses  that  wrap,  snap,  and  zip  at  unusual 
angles;  beaded  sweaters;  slashed  T-shirts;  50s 
style  speakers;  Converse  hi-top  sneakers;  flat

College  confidence.  A  cut  sweatshirt  is  all  it  takes.  Pair  this  Mickey  Mouse  favorite  with 
sweatpants,  jeans,  hospital  pants,  ebe's  or  even  leather  pants  and  you've  got  a  look  that'll 
take  you  from  class  to  the  dance  floor  with  all-American  style. 


Everywhere  you  turn  women,  and 
men,  are  kicking  up  their  heels  in 
shorter,  spunkier  boots. 


Padded  shoulders,  reminiscent  of  the 
40s,  have  made  a  comeback  in  a 
big  way. 


Harvard  Yard-wear  for  men.  Left:  oxford  button  down  shirt  under  a  sweater  and  a  blazer,  all 
topping  a  pair  of  loafers.  Right:  A  variation  of  the  sweater-and-blazer-look  with  a  turtleneck 
underneath.  Walk-person  optional  but  "Coop"  bag  a  must. 


pointed  shoes;  and  flat  boots. 

Accessories  enhance  the  appearance: 
bandanas;  a  variety  of  message  buttons  on 
the  lapel;  studded  leather  or  rubber  bracelets, 
collars  and  boot-wrap  bracelets;  tons  of  fake 
jewelry  including  big,  faux  gems;  and  large, 
funky  earrings  (more  than  one  per  ear). To  top 
the  look;  a  short  asymetrical  or  blunt  cut  with 
a  dab  of  styling  gel.  Feeling  daring?  Try  a 
mohawk! 

FLASHDANCE  COLLECTION:  All  right  America! 
Show  us  your  bodies.  The  look  is  body- 
conscious  with  a  touch  of  punk  funk.  It  ties  in 
with  the  country's  obsession  to  be  fit  and  trim 
and  the  garment  industry's  desire  for  huge 
profits.  In  most  stores  and  across  campus  you'll 
see:  strategically  cut  sweatshirts  and  T-shirts 
(layered),  miniskirts,  Danskins  (not  just  for 
dancing),  cut-off  shirts,  legwarmers  and 
headbands.  And  the  correct  hairstyle,  to 
complement  this  look  thanks  to  Jennifer  Beals, 
is  volumes  of  loose,  wild  hair.  A  must  if  you're 
going  to  work  up  a  sweat. 

THE  DORCHESTER  COLLECTION:  A 
predominantly  male  look.  And  about  as  ethnic 
as  you  can  get  in  Boston.  The  Dorchester  look 
is  neat,  but  the  message  "I'm  one  of  the 
guys,"  is  written  all  over  it.  To  dress  "Dot:" 
you  must  wear:  hospital  pants,  Ebe's  (E.B.'s), 
Tan  Baracuta  jackets  (Cuta's-collar  up,  of 
course),  Skully  hats,  Polo  shirts,  hi-top  Pumas 
(white  with  ties  unlaced),  short-short  hair. 
Uniformity?  Yes  indeed,  but  also  a  sense  of 
"Celtic  pride." 

THE  CO-OP  COLLECTION:  Funny.  Some  of 
those  students  who  wear  sweats,  jeans  and 
turtlenecks  to  class  look  ver-r-r-r-y  different 
when  they're  on  co-op.  Especially  those 
business  majors.  Three  piece  suits  on  the  guys 
.  .  .  white  shirts,  paisley  foulards,  black  or 
brown  shoes.  Well-tailored  suits  on  the  women 
.  .  .  business-like  blouses,  silk  bows,  classic 
pumps,  or  sneakers.  Sneakers?!  Well,  only  on 
the  way  to  and  from  work. 

Of  course  not  everyone  gets  to  work  in  an 
office  and  wear  spiffy  clothes.  Nurses  have 
special  uniforms,  lab  workers  wear  white  coats 
and  engineers  wear  work  clothes  in  the  field. 

But  a  great  percentage  of  the  co-op 
students  find  their  working  wardrobes  very 
similar  to  their  school  wardrobes.  Simply 
because  their  working  atmosphere  is  relaxed. 


Photographed  outside  a  Chicago  punk  club:  outrageous  hair-dos,  a  zippered  leather  jacket, 
military  coats,  scarves  about  the  neck,  a  sleeveless  vest  with  buttons  and  lots  of  funky  jewelry.  It's 
all  part  of  the  punk  style. 


I 


n  college,  the  art  of  housekeeping 
was  a  slowly  deteriorating  event.  As  freshmen 
we  started  out  in  small  rooms  that  we  wanted 
to  keep  neat  and  clean.  This  was  done  in 
part  to  please  the  frequent  visits  of  Moms, 
who  were  doubtful  of  our  new  independence. 

However,  this  soon  grew  to  be  novel  and 
cleaning  was  cast  aside  only  to  be  done  on 
special  occasions.  Oh  sure,  we  had  our 
housecleaning  moments — a  new  date, 
parties,  and  always  during  finals. 
Housecleaning  is  the  most  constructive  form  of 
procrastination,  a  widely  accepted  tool  by 
most. 

Many  people  might  think  that  housecleaning 
is  a  universal  skill,  enjoyed  by  all.  However, 
after  living  in  an  apartment  for  a  couple  of 
months,  it  was  deduced  that  cleanliness 
varied  from  wiping  the  counter  after  you've 
spilled  to  disinfecting  the  earth  three  feet  in 
front  of  you. 

In  apartments  with  three  or  more  people,  a 
possible  solution  to  cleaning  was  sometimes  a 
chore  list.  This  was  a  rotating  schedule  with 
varying  duties.  It  was  supposed  to  be  a 
guaranteed  system  of  having  each  room 
cleaned  each  week  and  most  importantly,  it 
enabled  roommates  to  share  the  workload, 
This  was  the  organized  approach.  It  was  also 
a  good  approach  for  arguments  about  who 
was  or  was  not  doing  their  share. 

Then  there  was,  of  course,  the  once  a 
quarter  free-for-all.  This  was  exciting  as  well  as 
entertaining.  Cleaning  out  the  refrigerator  and 
guessing  what  "that"  used  to  be.  Who  can 
forget  that  old  tunafish  or,  better  yet,  old 
salad. 

Cleaning  was  an  experience  that  was 
mastered  in  college  and  unfortunately,  a  skill 
that  must  be  used  for  the  rest  of  our 
existence.  And  thus  we  discovered  the  true 
meaning  behind  co-op:  to  make  enough 
money  to  hire  a  maid. 


M 


any  students  who 


have  lived  in  off-campus  apartments  can 
relate  to  the  problems  of  having  extra 
roommates  in  the  form  of  roaches  and 
rodents.  One  such  student  decided  to 
make  light  of  the  matter  in  form  of  a 
poem,  and  another  felt  that  a  story  told  of 
the  experience  more  accurately.  We 
decided  to  use  both  .  .  . 

Cockroaches 
And  in  the  cracks  the  roaches  hide. 
And  way  down  deep,  deep  inside. 
The  mothers  nurture  soft-shelled  young. 
And  the  men  sing  songs  their  grandads 

sung; 
(SING) 

"When  life  was  magic,  life  was  sweet. 
And  there  were  many  things  to  eat, 
The  city  boarded  up  the  house 
of  Mr.  Jones'  psychotic  spouse. 
Who  he  had  fled  from  years  ago  .  .  . 
"But  not  one  cry  was  ever  cried. 
For  trapping  Mrs.  Jones  inside, 
We  did  not  mind  that  in  the  least. 
Indeed  she's  still  our  favorite  feast." 

Rodent  Hunting 

It's  been  more  than  a  year  now,  but  I  will 
never  forget  the  days  I  spent  on 
Gainsborough  Street  and  the  thrill  of  the 
hunt.  I  can  still  feel  the  excitement  of  the 
final  chase,  as  the  hunted  no  longer  is  able 
to  elude  the  hunter,  who  moves  in  to  claim 
his  trophy.  The  wilderness,  in  the  form  of  an 
uninhabited  tenement,  was  teeming  with 
game  then,  and  we  foolishly  chose  to  hunt 
the  most  cunning  of  creatures,  the  urban 
rat,  an  animal  who  seldom  bathed  and 
was  often  found  at  local  flea  markets, 
poking  through  back  issues  of  Mighty 
Mouse  comic  books. 

Making  their  way  through  a  small  hole, 
no  larger  than  the  circumference  of  a 
garbage  can,  they  found  pleasure  in  the 
confines  of  our  dwelling  place.  In  time  they 
even  acquired  a  taste  for  both  pepperoni 
and  jalapeno  pepper  dip,  despite  my 
relentless  attempts  to  conceal  these 
treats  in  the  dark  recesses  of  my 
refrigerator,  where  only  moldy  cheese  is 
known  to  hang  out.  We  had,  amazingly, 
learned  to  cope  with  these  minor 
problems,  but  my  patience  was 
extinguished  when  a  group  of  these  hairy 
little  beasts  found  pleasure  in  destroying 
my  box  of  Mr.  Bubble.  The  time  had  come 
to  put  a  stop  to  this  daily  madness  and  so, 
after  a  brief  conference  with  my 
roommates,  the  Rat  Patrol  was  formed.  We 
vowed  to  drive  the  nocturnal  monsters 
from  our  floors  and  fight  them  on  their  own 
grounds. 

We  were  three  vigilantes,  armed  with 
flamethrower,  machine  gun  and  crossbow, 
making  our  way  into  enemy  territory.  We 
slipped  past  numerous  lookout  posts  and 
only  once  were  we  confronted  by  the 
adversary.  But  once  was  enough  .  .  . 

It  was  over  in  a  flash,  a  resounding 
victory  for  our  side.  I'll  spare  you  the  gory 
details.  My  only  battle  scar  was  a  badly 
bruised  knee,  which  I  sustained  after  being 
hit  by  an  over  excited  roommate  with  poor 
aim. 

Alas,  such  excitement  I  have  never  felt 
since  that  night  and  I  can  only  wish  that  a 
group  of  wayward  rodents  may  somehow 
find  a  way  into  my  life  once  again.

New  Top  Dog: 

A  winning  tradition 
continues  at  N.U. 

With  the  thought  of  the  new  year,  Irwin  Cohen  did 
not  have  his  thoughts  directed  toward  indoor  track  as 
he  had  for  so  many  years  before.  January  1  marked 
the  date  he  was  to  replace  Joe  Zabilski  as  Athletic 
Director  at  Northeastern  University. 

Joe  Zabilski  came  to  NU  in  1948.  He  had  been  part 
of  the  Boston  College  football  team  that  won  the 
Sugar  Bowl.  He  had  gone  on  to  become  a  Navy  war 
hero  and  then  on  to  University  of  Maine  to  coach 
football  there. 

The  man  known  to  many  as  "Joe  Z"  came  to  NU  to 
coach  football.  However,  he  also  found  himself 
coaching  basketball  and  field  events  as  well.  When 
Coach  Zabilski  took  the  reins  at  NU,  basketball  was 
played  at  the  YMCA  and  track  meets  were  held  in 
Brookline. 

Only  four  years  after  taking  over  as  football  coach, 
Joe  Z  coached  his  first  undefeated  team.  This  record 
was  enough  to  earn  him  the  New  England  writers 
Coach  of  the  Year  honors.  A  decade  later  he  also 
produced  an  undefeated  team.  Over  the  24-year 
period  he  spent  as  head  coach,  his  teams  finished 
101-77-6  with  only  eight  losing  seasons. 

It  was  not  until  1958  that  Athletic  Director  Herb 
Gallagher  named  Joe  his  assistant,  and  relieved  him  of 
his  basketball  and  track  obligations.  Since  then  Joe  Z 
served  as  assistant,  associate,  and  eventually  full 
Athletic  Director.  During  his  tenure  he  has  seen  NU 
reach  national  acclaim. 

What  made  Joe  Zabilski  so  successful?  In  times  of 
computers  and  numbers,  he  has  cared  most  about 
people.  He  would  go  out  of  his  way  to  help  someone 
if  he  could. 

"I  learned  very  quickly  that  more  important  than 
facilities  are  the  kids  and  the  people  of  a  university," 
said  Zabilski. 

Former  track  coach  Irwin  Cohen  has  large  shoes  to 
fill.  He  has  earned  respect  as  one  of  the  top  coaches 
in  America  with  a  combined  indoor,  outdoor,  and 
cross  country  record  of  316-178.  The  last  two  years 
were  spent  as  Associate  Athletic  Director  to  prepare 
him  for  his  new  position.  The  transition  from  coach  to 
administrator  has  been  a  difficult  one. 

"I  find  myself  hard  pressed  to  just  sit  in  the  stands 
and  not  go  out  and  tell  everyone  what  to  do,"  said 
Cohen. 

Cohen  is  optimistic  about  the  future.  The 
emergence  of  the  new  hockey  league.  Hockey  East, 
and  strength  in  the  ECAC  North  gives  NU  a  strong 
athletic  position.  When  comparing  NU  to  other  area 
schools,  Cohen  believes  that  NU  equals  or  surpasses 
the  others. 

The  future  is  difficult  to  predict,  but  knowing  Irwin 
Cohen's  past  successes,  the  Huskies  are  in  safe  hands.

Winning  Record 
Deserves  Respect 

In  past  years,  trips  to  Parsons  Field  in  Brookline  usually 
ended  in  frustration  for  the  Husky  football  team.  The 
1983-84  campaign  ended  in  a  winning  record  for  the  first 
time  since  1978  and  the  Dan  Ross  era.  The  Huskies 
posted  a  6-4-1  record. 

Head  coach  Paul  Pawlak,  who  came  to  Northeastern 
three  years  ago  from  UMass,  Amherst  has  succeeded  in 
rebuilding  NU  football  to  near  respectability.  Pawlak's 
team  achieved  several  firsts  during  the  83-84  season 
including:  a  victory  over  UConn,  28-0;  and  a  winning 
effort  against  C.W.  Post  at  the  Long  Island  field. 

Quarterback,  Gregg  Prebles  ('85),  who  athletically  is  a 
senior,  with  over  1600  yards  passing  and  eight  aerial 
touchdowns.  Fullback  Mark  Curtin  ('87)  led  all  scores  with 
48  points,  followed  by  kicker  Geoff  Hart  ('86)  with  46 
points. 

The  stingy  Husky  defense  was  anchored  by  67"  Sean 
"Spider"  Jones  ('85),  a  defensive  lineman.  He  athletically 
is  a  senior  and  is  being  looked  at  by  many  pro  teams 
perhaps  he  can  be  another  Keith  Willis  ('81)  of  the 
Pittsburgh  Steelers. 

There  appears  to  be  light  at  the  end  of  the 
Northeastern  football  tunnel.  A  student  referendum 
approved  a  sports/recreation  complex  proposed  to 
house  a  football  surface  on  the  roof  and  is  waiting 
administrative  approval.  And  officials  are  discussing  the 
possibility  of  being  admitted  into  the  Yankee 
Conference. 

And,  Northeastern  is  finally  attaining  the  one  thing  that 
has  eluded  us  during  our  five  years.  Respect.

Ineligibility 

Nil's  athletes  work 
around  5-year  plan 


Athletes  at  Northeastern  University  face  a  dilemma 
that  athletes  at  four  year  schools  do  not:  the  year  of 
ineligibility.  NCAA  rules  limit  athletes  to  four  years  of 
participation  in  college  sports.  For  most  NU  athletes, 
this  ruling  means  completing  their  college  sports 
careers  in  their  junior  year.  For  other  athletes,  it  could 
mean  "red-shirting",  which  is  spending  one  year — 
sometimes  freshman  year,  sometimes  a  year  mid- 
career — on  the  "sidelines"  for  various  reasons.  Then, 
these  athletes  are  are  eligible  to  play  during  their 
senior  years. 

It  is  not  uncommon  to  find  a  football  player  red- 
shirted  during  his  first  year.  This  athlete  practices  with 
the  team  and  will  play  if  he  is  needed.  At  the  end  of 
the  season,  if  he  hasn't  played,  he  is  officially  red- 
shirted,  which  leaves  him  with  four  years  of  eligibility. 

The  positive  aspects  of  being  red-shirted  during  the 
first  year  is  that  the  athlete  can  concentrate  on 
training  and  grow  physically.  He  is  able  to  learn  the 
program  better  with  the  extra  year  of  experience. 

Northeastern's  football  coach,  Paul  Pawlak,  said  that 
athletes  mature  academically  and  socially  by  taking 
the  freshman  year  off.  Because  there  is  less  pressure 
from  the  team,  freshmen  have  an  easier  time 
adjusting  to  college— thus  creating  an  academically 
solid  team  later  on,  who  play  to  their  fullest  potential. 

Unlike  Pawlak,  most  NU  coaches  opt  to  play  the 
athlete  during  his  first  year  to  maintain  a  competitive 
spirit.  These  coaches  say  that  missing  the  first  year  of 
competition  hurts  the  athlete  mentally.  Plus,  these 
athletes  are  able  to  use  the  last  year  of  school  to 
devote  attention  to  their  senior  co-ops  and  future  job 
prospects. 

For  these  athletes  the  "red-shirting"  rule  offers 
flexibility  in  the  case  of  injury.  If  an  athlete  is  injured 
seriously  enough  to  jeopardize  his  or  her  performance 
for  most  of  a  season,  the  coach  may  decide  to  red- 
shirt.  This  permits  the  athlete  time  to  repair  and 
recover,  plus  offers  chance  to  play  the  sport  during  his 
or  her  senior  year. 

For  some  athletes,  the  year  of  ineligibility  provides 
the  opportunity  to  try  another  varsity  sport.  Most 
coaches  will  not  overlook  an  athlete  with  proven 
ability.  And,  in  recent  years,  more  athletes  have 
made  the  best  of  their  fifth  year  by  taking  on  such  a 
challenge. 

But,  for  other  athletes,  especially  the  very  good 
ones,  the  year  of  ineligibility  sometimes  presents 
another  challenge:  pro  sports.  What  does  an  athlete 
do  when  he  or  she  is  approached  by  a  recruiter  with 
an  offer?  It's  a  tough  decision  for  all  college  athletes 
to  make,  but  maybe  a  little  tougher  for  NU  juniors  with 
four  years  of  glory  behind  them,  not  knowing  whether 
they'll  ever  have  another  shot  at  the  pros  .  .  . 

So  do  Northeastern's  athletes  benefit  from  red- 
shirting  and     ineligibility?  Or  are  they  harmed?  The 
answer  depends  on  which  athlete  or  which  coach 
you  ask.

The  Head": 


Regatta  And  Party  On  The 
Banks  Of  The  River  Charles. 

October  23,  1983,  may  have  been  just  like  any  other  day. 
But  for  those  involved  in  crew,  it  was  the  biggest  day  of  the 
year.  It  was  the  19th  annual  Head  of  the  Charles  and  720 
boats  entered  the  regatta. 

Even  the  constant  threat  of  rain,  which  never  materialized, 
did  not  prevent  thousands  of  spectators  from  watching  the  ' 
Head.  Most  of  these  fans  sat  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles, 
next  to  a  barbeque  pit,  with  a  cold  brew  or  wineskin  in  hand. 
The  Head  is  indeed  a  spectator  sport. 

Northeastern  took  home  the  Boston  Mayor's  Trophy  with  a 
first  place  in  the  men's  club  eights  for  the  second  consecutive 
year  with  a  time  of  15:32.8  for  the  three  mile  course.  A 
second  boat  placed  third  in  the  same  race. 

The  Championship  eights  finished  in  19th  place,  held  back 
by  a  B.U.  boat,  with  the  championship  fours  finishing  14th.  To 
round  out  the  day  for  NU,  the  youth  eights  finished  18th  and 
youth  fours  13th. 

The  women  of  Northeastern  competed  in  two  events, 
lightweight  eights  and  championship  eights.  Both  teams ' 
performed  well  and  finished  13th  and  25th  respectively. 

The  day  proved  successful  for  the  NU  teams  and  for 
thousands  of  fans.  For  all  who  attended  it  was  a  sporting 
event  and  a  party  to  remember. 


The  Charles  River  was  calm  for  the  19th  annual  Head  of  the  Charles. 


Teams  from  around  the  world  took  part  in  the  classic  regatta,  including  North- 
western University.

On  the  run: 

Solid  performances 
from  harriers 

Every  fall  weekend  a  group  of  runners  head  to  Franklin  Park  to 
run.  Why  do  they  run  all  the  way  out  there?  Why  not  the  banks  of 
the  Charles  or  the  Fens?  Because  these  weekend  runners  are  not 
joggers,  but  they  are  part  of  the  cross  country  team  at  North- 
eastern. These  dedicated  men  and  women  train  daily  to  pre- 
pare themselves  for  each  meet. 

The  1983  cross  country  season  drew  to  a  close  with  the  men's 
team  posting  a  4-3  record.  The  three  teams  the  Huskies  lost  to 
were  each  ranked  higher.  And  one  of  those  losses  was  by  just 
one  point  to  Dartmouth. 

The  Greater  Boston  Championship  (GBC)  and  New  England 
both  resulted  in  second  place  finishes  for  the  men.  The  team 
finished  one  point  ahead  of  Harvard  in  the  IC4As,  but  lost  to 
Dartmouth. 

Strong  performances  came  from  several  of  last  year's  runners. 
Senior  Captain  Bill  Richer  was  the  team's  number  three  runner 
while  classmates  Tim  Zimmerman  and  Jason  Barnes  were  num- 
bers five  and  six  respectively.  It  seems  that  two  younger  runners 
shone  above  all  others.  Ralph  Moore  (86)  was  the  team's  number 
one  runner  with  fast  times  throughout  the  season.  He  also  was 
awarded  the  Ed  Shea  award  given  annually  to  a  runner  who 
shows  outstanding  athletic  ability  and  leadership  qualities. 

Sophomore  Chris  Gorman  finished  the  season  strong.  He  was 
named  to  both  the  All  New  England  and  the  All  IC4A  squads.  His 
eighth  place  finish  in  the  IC4As  also  earned  him  a  third  team 
All  East  position. 

Head  Coach  Everett  Baker,  in  his  1 1th  year,  is  pleased  with  the 
outcome  of  the  season  ...  He  is  also  looking  forward  to  the  future 
because  his  junior  varsity  team  won  the  junior  varsity  title. 

Women's  Head  Coach  Tom  Wittenhagen  is  also  optimistic 
about  the  upcoming  seasons.  His  1983  team  finished  with  an  0-2- 
1  record,  but  only  loses  one  senior,  Captain  Mia  Mahedy. 

Mahedy's  performances  earned  her  the  respect  of  many  oth- 
er runners.  Her  unlimited  dedication  and  hard  work  was  evident 
as  she  placed  4th  in  the  URI  Invitationals.  Before  late  season 
injuries  set  in,  she  was  beleived  to  be  one  of  the  top  10  women 
runners  in  New  England. 

The  1983  season  marked  the  fifth  year  of  women's  cross 
country  as  a  varsity  sport.  It  was  also  one  in  which  they 
placed  the  highest  ever  in  the  GBC:  third.  The  New  Englands 
were  also  a  high  finish  with  12th  place. 

With  only  one  senior  graduating.  Coach  Wittenhagen  hopes 
to  have  his  group  of  six  or  seven  runners,  who  have  performed 
equally,  move  up  in  the  ranks.  And  he  says  that  sophomore  Kate 
Kennedy  has  the  ability  to  run  head  to  head  with  anyone  in  New 
England,  as  she  was  a  former  All  American  half  miler  in  high 
school. 

So,  as  the  program  continues  to  mature  and  develop  there  is 
plenty  to  look  forward  to.

.500  Season 

Solid  finish  brightens 
field  hockey  future 

The  1983/84  Women's  Field  Hockey  team  finished  their 
season  with  as  many  wins  as  losses  for  the  second 
consecutive  year.  However  the  women  played  much 
better  than  their  record  indicates.  Eight  of  their  1 1  losses 
were  only  by  one  goal. 

The  women  lost  to  Ursinas  in  the  ECAC  championship 
by  a  score  of  4-3.  The  game  was  more  of  a  marathon 
than  a  game,  as  the  end  of  regulation  time  found  both 
teams  deadlocked  at  3-3.  After  three  scoreless 
overtimes  the  game  finally  was  decided  by  a  stroke-off. 

The  1983/84  season  marked  the  end  of  the  field 
hockey  careers  of  several  key  athletes.  "Senior"  athlete 
Joanne  Lavendar  had  1 1  goals  and  three  assists  for  14 
points  this  season  and  scored  66  goals  and  20  assists  for 
86  points  throughout  her  career.  Also,  senior  standout 
Ellen  Vera  who  scored  13  goals  and  25  assists  for  a  total 
of  38  points  during  her  career. 

The  field  hockey  future  looks  bright,  especially 
considering  scoring  sensation  Karen  Davidson  is  a 
Freshman.  Davidson  led  all  scorers  this  season  with  20 
goals  and  five  assists  for  a  total  of  25  points.  Also  high 
on  the  scoring  list  was  sophomore  Sandi  Costigan  with 
nine  goals  and  five  assists  for  14  points. 

The  goal  was  protected  by  junior  walk-on  Sharon 
Spittle,  who  improved  as  the  season  developed.  The 
combination  of  Costigan  Davidson  and  Spittle  should 
bring  a  winning  record  and  maybe  even  titles  to  the  NU 
Field  Hockey  team.

Younger  players  help 
keep  tennis  competitive 

Home  matches  for  the  women's  tennis  team  are  not  played 
on  Northeastern's  campus.  For  the  ladies,  home  is  Windsor 
High  School  in  Brookline. 

Dr.  Dorett  Hope  coached  the  team  to  a  .500  performance. 
The  5-5  record  was  competitive  for  the  young  Northeastern 
team.  The  team  consists  of  six  freshmen  and  three 
sophomores. 

The  squad  was  captained  by  Heidi  Beltram  ('85)  who 
finished  her  athletic  career  this  year.  The  MAIAW  tournament 
played  at  Holy  Cross  found  Heidi  playing  second  in  the  singles 
match.  Other  top  finishers  in  the  MAIAW  tourney  were  Julie 
Beauchemin  and  Karen  Nelson  placing  second  in  the  doubles 
finals.  Sue  Jarvis  and  Monica  Brishka  won  the  number  two 
doubles  match. 

the  Beauchmin-Nelson  combo  teamed  up  in  the  New 
Englands  at  Harvard  University  only  to  lose  in  the  semi-finals  of 
the  doubles  consolation.  In  the  singles  match  Sue  Jarvis  lost  in 
the  semi-finals. 

With  all  but  one  member  of  the  team  remaining  for  the 
1984-85  season,  there  is  much  hope  for  an  improved  record. 
No  matter  the  future  there  is  always  Hope.

Spikers'  best 

Women's  Volleyball 
sees  DAYIight 

As  the  1983-84  Volleyball  Season  drew  to  a  close,  it 
became  apparent  to  first  year  head  coach  Peggy  Day  that 
her  team  had  a  super  year.  To  be  more  precise,  the  1983 
record  of  24-10  was  the  best  ever. 

The  year's  highlights  included  the  spikers  upset  of  Army, 
who  was  ranked  20th  nationally.  The  ladies  made  the  ECAC 
playoffs  for  the  first  time  ever.  The  prospect  of  a 
championship  were  quickly  stalled  by  UMass  in  the  semi-finals. 
UMass  eventually  went  on  to  win  the  crown. 

A  noteworthy  performance  was  given  by  co-captain  Susan 
Callahan  ('85).  Coach  Day  believed  that  Susan's  overall 
performance  was  continually  strengthened.  Ann  Murray,  the 
other  co-captain,  complimented.  Susan  by  playing 
outstanding  all-around  volleyball.  A  strong  attacker,  who  also 
played  solid  defense,  was  Monique  Ellis. 

By  the  end  of  the  season,  the  team  had  adjusted  to  the 
first  year  coach  and  had  become  a  strong  overall  team.  The 
team  level  of  performance  was  up  as  each  team  member 
contributed. 

Coach  Day  can  be  content  in  knowing  that  the  future  of 
the  volleyball  program  brightens,  with  her  first  full  year  of 
recruiting.  She  looks  toward  better  seasons  and 
championships  with  the  past  season  as  a  firm  base.

Intramurds: 

Where  everyone  gets 
a  chance  to  play 

Each  year  college  athletes  come  and  go.  Some 
fade  into  obscurity  and  a  few  even  enter  the 
limelight. 

Intramural  sports  give  everyone  a  chance  to  take 
part  in  athletic  events  without  the  threat  of  being  cut. 
The  coaches  are  fellow  students,  as  are  the  officials. 

There  is  a  fine  line  between  serious  competition  and 
zany  behavior.  Teams  sometimes  can  be  found 
practicing  once  or  twice  a  week  before  an  important 
game.  Other  teams  only  show  up  on  game  day,  but 
are  ready  to  play  with  all  their  hearts  and  souls. 

It's  not  uncommon  to  attend  a  game  and  find  a 
team  looking  more  like  a  circus  troupe  than  a  sports 
club.  The  funny  thing  is  that  these  teams  are  often  the 
best  in  their  leagues. 

Intramural  games  allow  even  the  closet  athletes  to 
go  for  the  gusto  and  boast  to  the  most  about  their 
feats.

Winning  on  ice 

Long  overdue  on 
Huntington  Avenue 

Winning  games  has  eluded  the  Northeastern  University 
Hockey  team  for  years  and  years.  For  many  of  us  new 
to  the  ice  scene  in  1979,  the  agony  of  defeat  was  fast 
pushed  aside  with  the  NU  version  of  "miracle  on  ice": 
the  5-4  victory  over  BC  in  the  28th  Beanpot.  That  was 
the  start  of  the  rise  to  prominence  in  Division  I, 

The  arrival  of  the  pot  to  Huntington  Avenue  ignited 
hockey  fever  on  campus.  The  1980-81  season  opened 
with  12  straight  wins,  a  ranking  of  number  one  in  the 
country  and  even  a  two  page  story  in  Sports  Illustrated. 
The  rollercoaster  took  a  quick  downward  turn  as  the 
pucksters  lost  13  of  their  next  14.  The  dogs  did  manage 
to  make  a  quick  entrance  and  a  quicker  exit  from  the 
ECAC  playoffs. 

The  thrill  of  victory  spent  most  of  the  1981-82  season 
with  the  hounds.  The  Huskies  won  their  first  ECAC 
Championships  in  a  classic  against  the  Crimson.  Riding 
the  momentum  of  the  ECAC  crown,  NU  defeated 
Bowling  Green  (Ohio)  State  University  in  a  two  game 
series  on  Bob  "Chateau"  Averill's  overtime  goal.  From 
there  the  pawprints  led  to  Providence  and  a  third  place 
finish  in  the  NCAA  Tournament.  Hull  native  Chuck  Marshall 
was  honored  with  the  Walter  Brown  Award  as  the  best 
American-born  college  hockey  player. 

The  loss  of  many  big  guns  hurt  the  Huskies  in  1982-83. 
The  year  was  written  off  as  a  rebuilding  year.  Even  with 
this  in  mind  the  Husky  skaters  were  edged  out  of  the 
playoffs,  but  not  without  having  the  thrill  of  knocking  off 
cross-city  foe  BC  5-4  at  the  Heights.  Randy  Bucyk  was 
honored  by  being  named  defensive  forward  of  the  year 
by  New  England  sports  writers. 

Expectations  were  high  for  the  following  year,  our  last 
here  at  NU.  Hockey  fanatics  were  rewarded  when 
visiting  Matthews  Arena  as  the  hounds  finished  the  year 
at  9-2-0  at  home.  Those  damn  dawgs  couldn't  manage 
to  get  their  act  together  on  the  road  with  a  7-10-1 
showing. 

The  year  was  not  to  be  all  for  naught,  as  the  pesky 
dogs  again  captured  the  Beanpot.  This  finally  showed 
those  Boston  hockey  devotees  that  '80  was  no  fluke.  Tim 
Marshall  clinched  it  for  the  Huskies  with  brilliant  goal- 
tending  in  the  5-2  defeat  over  the  BU  Terriers.  Our 
Commonwealth  Avenue  neighbors  managed  to  average 
the  Beanpot  loss  by  defeating  the  Huskies  3-2  with  two 
games  remaining,  to  knock  NU  our  of  the  ECAC  playoff 
picture.  Senior  Ken  Manchureck's  51 -point  production 
during  the  1983-84  season  managed  to  notch  him  into 
the  number  five  position  on  the  all-time  scoring  list. 

The  1983-84  season  was  the  last  chance  ever  for  the 
Huskies  to  capture  the  ECAC  crown.  The  emergence  of 
a  new  Ivy  League  format  forced  several  eastern  schools 
to  regroup.  These  schools;  BU,  BC,  UNH,  Providence, 
Maine,  Lowell  and  NU,  banded  together  to  form  "Hockey 
East."  Hockey  East  teams  are  to  play  each  other  three 
times  a  year  and  members  of  the  WCHA  (Western  US) 
twice.  This  league  should  be  the  most  competitive  in  the 
US  and  will  benefit  NU  and  college  hockey. 

With  the  emergence  of  Hockey  East  the  future 
becomes  hazy.  Will  it  pass  or  fail?  Only  time  will  tell,  but 
one  point  remains  constant.  The  Huskies  have  what  it 
takes  to  be  a  winner.

The  Beanpot: 

Coming  and  going  as 
the  "Best  of  Boston" 

Hockey  games  are  played  almost  every  night  during 
the  winter  sports  season.  Some  are  important  and 
some  meaningless.  None  match  the  games  played  the 
first  two  Mondays  in  February.  Those  games  fuse 
together  to  form  the  biggest  hockey  tournament  in 
the  United  States:  The  Beanpot. 

The  Beanpot  tournament  was  started  in  1952.  The 
winner  of  the  tournment  is  able  to  call  itself  "The  Best 
in  Boston."  Those  bragging  rights  had  eluded 
Northeastern  until  1980,  the  28th  year  of  the 
tournament. 

The  class  of  1984  were  freshmen.  That  Monday  night 
in  February  1980,  when  Wayne  Turner  scored  the 
Huskie'  winning  goal  in  overtime,  NU  finally  had 
something  it  had  missed  for  so  long:  Pride. 

Several  weeks  after  this  historic  5-4  overtime  victory 
over  Boston  College  the  women's  hockey  team 
played  in  the  ladies'  second  annual  Beanpot 
Tournament.  Northeastern  defeated  Harvard  7-1  to 
claim  the  rights  to  both  pots  of  beans.  This  was  the 
first  time  both  pots  were  to  be  found  at  one  school. 

With  the  approach  of  the  1984  Beanpot  came  the 
Boston  Globe  stories  of  the  favorites:  Boston  University 
and  Boston  College.  These  schools  would  play  each 
other  in  round  one,  the  winner  prancing  on  to  the  title. 
It  seemed  as  though  the  Huskies  were  once  again  the 
underdogs. 

As  history  has  it,  the  Beanpot  tournament  is  not  the 
place  to  play  favorites,  anything  can  happen.  The 
Hounds  destroyed  the  Crimson  in  the  opening  round, 
7-3  behind  sophomore  Jay  Heinbuck's  four  assists. 
Boston  University  defeated  B.C.  6-5  to  finish  the  first 
Monday's  games. 

The  second  Monday  in  February  fell  on  the  13th.  The 
terriers  were  all  but  declared  victors  by  the  press.  It 
seems  no  one  informed  the  Huskies,  as  the  game 
became  a  dogfight  to  remember,  possibly  the  best  of 
all  times. 

Boston  University  opened  the  scoring  early  in  the 
second  period,  after  a  scoreless  first.  The  lead  was 
exchanged  a  couple  of  times,  then  Bob  Averill  scored 
the  eventual  game  winner.  N.U.  completed  the 
scoring  on  two  open  net  goals  at  the  close  of  the 
third  period  and  set  the  final  score  at  5-2. 

As  with  most  Beanpots,  the  story  of  the  game  was 
not  who  scores  or  how  but  rather  who  stops  the 
scoring.  The  1984  Tournament  was  no  exception  as 
NU's  Tim  Marshall  and  B.U.'s  Cleon  Daskalakis  both 
played  superbly.  The  difference  came  in  the  third 
period  as  Marshall  stopped  everything  including  two 
controversial  shots.  His  brilliant  performance  was 
enough  to  earn  him  MVP  honors  and  bring  the 
Beanpot  back  home  to  Huntington  Avenue  again. 

The  women  also  followed  suit  by  shelling  B.C.  14-0  in 
round  one  and  punishing  Harvard  12-0  in  the 
championship  round.  Senior  Goalie  Kathy  Scanlon  did 
not  allow  a  goal  in  either  game.  The  final  game 
against  Harvard  was  iced  by  tournament  MVP 
Stephanie  Kelly.  Kelly,  a  freshman,  scored  four  goals 
and  added  two  assists  in  the  Harvard  game. 

Double  Beanpots  were  one  again  on  the  campus  of 
Northeastern.  This  has  been  accomplished  twice,  both 
times  by  the  Huskies.  Those  students  graduating  in 
June  1984  will  always  remember  that  feeling  of  being 
"The  Best  in  Boston."

High  on  Ice 

Women's  Ice  Hockey 
among  the  best 

In  only  its  fourth  year  in  existence  as  a  varisty  sport,  the 
Women's  Ice  Hockey  team  has  established  itself  as  a  top 
team  in  North  America.  The  skaters  finished  1982-83  as  the 
number  three  team  behind  UNH,  who  defeated  NU  in 
overtime. 

The  1982-83  season  was  again  littered  with  high  scoring 
victories.  The  women  won  their  third  Beanpot  in  its  sixth  year 
as  a  tournament.  They  shutout  both  opponents  with  a 
combined  total  of  26  points  to  clinch  the  crown. 

This  dominance  seemed  to  disappear  as  NU  played  UNH 
and  Providence.  The  Huskies  lost  twice  to  UNH  but  defeated 
Providence.  PC  had  defeated  UNH  earlier.  The  actual  final 
rankings  are  subject  to  question.  The  fact  remains  that  within 
just  four  years  the  skaters  have  become  established. 

With  national  prominence  usually  comes  respect  and 
recognition.  For  the  Huskies  their  skills  bring  fear  to  opponents. 
NU  has  become  so  strong  that  many  teams  will  not  play  the 
pucksters.  It  is  hoped  that  success  continues  but  that 
increased  competition  comes  by  the  way  of  the  Huskies.

Dream  Team  leads 
NU  to  ECAC  title 

Anyone  but  Jim  Calhoun  might  have  approached  the 
1983-84  season  looking  for  a  .500  record  or  slightly 
better.  This  team,  after  all,  had  all  the  trappings  of  what 
sportswirters  call  a  "rebuilding  year." 

Fortunately  for  Northeastern,  Jim  Calhoun  has 
fashioned  his  reputation  as  one  of  the  East's  finest 
coaches  by  not  accepting  such  notions.  NU's  finest 
record  ever,  27-5,  seems  to  be  adequate  proof. 
Calhoun  took  All-American  Mark  Halsel  and  molded  New 
England's  most  talented  team,  a  team  with  a 
proportionate  number  of  veteran  holdovers  and  peach- 
fuzz  newcomers. 

The  dramatis  personae  of  this  exciting  bunch  could 
change  on  any  given  night,  but  there  were  constants. 
Halsel,  Reggie  Lewis  and  Roland  Braswell  were  most 
notable  on  stat  sheets,  with  Wes  Fuller,  Glen  Miller  and 
Andre  LaFleur  close  behind.  Record  breaking  was  the 
tres  chic  thing  to  do,  and  the  records  fell  like  Spauldings 
through  a  hoop, 

Mark  Halsel  became  NU's  first  1,000  point,  1,000 
rebound  player  ever,  and  finished  his  starry  career  tops 
in  rebounding  and  fourth  in  scoring,  all-time.  Andre 
LaFleur  shattered  the  season  assist  record  of  150  and  he 
only  needed  half  a  season.  Reggie  Lewis  broke  Pete 
Harris'  freshman  scoring  record-a  mark  many  thought 
would  stand  for  decades.  Phil  Robinson  became  the  all- 
time  University  ironman,  playing  in  all  120  games  of  his 
four-year  career.  Roland  Braswell  cracked  the  all-time 
top  twenty  list  in  scoring.  And  the  aforementioned 
mentor,  Jim  Calhoun,  chalked  up  win  number  200  at  a 
point  when  most  coaches  are  just  getting  their  feet  wet. 

The  glorious  crowning  of  the  season,  as  always,  was 
winning  the  conference  title,  which  was  NU's  third  in  four 
seasons.  That,  as  any  hoop  afficiando  will  attest,  is  an 
automatic  ticket  to  the  NCAA's-and  it  was  the  third  in 
four  years.  A  disheartening  loss-at  the  buzzer-to  Virginia 
Commonwealth  ended  the  season,  but  began  the 
reminiscing,  and  the  quick  realization  was  that  this  team, 
in  the  span  of  four  years,  has  become  a  veritable 
powerhouse  not  only  in  New  England  but  in  the  entire 
East. 

"DREAM  TEAM" 

Wes  Fuller,  Reggie  Lewis,  Andre  LaFleur,  Kevin  Lee, 
Todd  Grain. 

Remember  the  names.  Take  home  the  program. 
Memorize  the  faces,  study  and  learn  the  vital  stats- 
heights,  weights,  hometowns.  Tell  your  friends  you  can 
spell  the  names  of  every  member.  This  vaunted  quintet, 
you  see,  comprises  the  already  legendary  "Dream 
Tean"  and  will  go  down  as  the  finest  group  of  freshmen 
ever  to  grace  Huntington  Avenue  in  one  swoop. 

Should  Jim  Calhoun  take  his  Huskies  to  the  national 
championship,  he  would  have  a  hard  time  getting  a 
bunch  of  recruits  with  this  much  talent.  Lewis,  LaFleur, 
and  Fuller  all  excelled  as  freshmen,  the  first  two  as 
starters  and  Fuller  as  a  prototype  sixth  man.  The  three 
only  knew  how  to  win  when  they  got  here,  and  that 
attitude  tends  to  be  contagious.  Their  high  school 
records  were  a  combined  218-15.  Lewis  (Dunbar)  and 
Fuller  (Camden)  came  from  national  powers,  and  LaFleur 
(Governor  Dummer)  played  for  one  of  New  England's 
finest  teams. 

Grain  and  Lee  would  have  been  consider  blue  chip 
recruits,  had  they  entered  on  their  own.  They  will 
undoubtedly  see  considerable  time  in  the  coming  years, 
but  for  now  they  are  role  players  on  a  talent-laden 
squad.

Women  net  best  season 
ever  at  Northeastern 

Back  in  the  season  of  1979-80,  the  Huskies  were  led 
by  the  likes  of  Beth  Peterson,  Hildegarde  "H"  Regan  and 
fleet-footed  Marvita  Davis.  Peterson  clicked  at  better 
than  15  points  per  game  and  left  Northeastern  as  its 
number  three  all-time  leading  scorer.  Regan  contributed 
more  than  12  points  per  outing  and  Davis  set  the  NU 
record  for  most  steals  with  85.  During  this  year,  Husky 
hoop  fans  caught  a  glimpse  of  a  future  star,  that  being 
Melissa  Lang.  Lang  played  sparingly  in  this,  Schneider's 
last  year,  but  did  give  onlookers  a  sneak  preview  of 
what  was  to  happen  as  time  progressed. 

Malchodi,  a  former  standout  in  basketball  herself,  took 
over  the  reins  at  NU  and  continued  in  upgrading  the 
program.  Lang  and  high-scoring  Holly  Stegenson  were 
just  two  of  the  prime  contributors  to  NU's  13-8  record 
while  newcomer  Kym  Camerson  added  a  new  spark  to 
the  flame,  scoring  at  1 1  points  per  contest.  The  Huskies 
just  missed  qualifying  for  the  EWIAW  Tourney,  but  did 
defeat  such  locals  as  Boston  College  and  Harvard. 

Northeastern  upset  highly-regarded  Providence  in  the 
playoffs,  56-53  in  overtime,  at  the  Friars'  home  site. 
Cameron,  Lang  and  Clagon  would  provide  the  nucleus 
of  the  squad  for  the  1982-83  campaign,  but  not  before 
another  budding  superstar  would  emerge  on  Huntington 
Avenue. 

Pam  Green,  an  all-everything  recruit  from  Bronx,  NY, 
opened  some  eyes  with  348  points  (12.9  ppg)  in  her 
freshman  season.  Cameron  took  over  as  "top  dog"  for 
Malchodi's  troops  as  she  sported  a  16.3  average  while 
leading  the  Hounds  in  the  rebounds  with  196.  Lang, 
among  the  steadiest  of  players,  was  equal  to  the  task  of 
her  teammates  and  left  her  name  etched  in  record 
books  as  the  Huskies  4th  all-time  leading  scorer.  The 
versatile  athlete  from  Hingham  closed  out  her  NU  career 
scoring  more  than  750  points  and  her  consistent  game 
would  be  sorely  missed.  The  team  captured  the 
Northeastern  Classic,  defeating  Adelphi  and  Fordham  in 
the  process,  NU  earned  a  tournament  berth  and  edged 
Richmond  in  the  first  round,  55-53,  but  dropped  a  54-50 
decision  to  Holy  Cross.  George  Orwell  said  1984  would 
be  THE  year  and  for  the  women's  team  it  was  that  and 
much  more. 

Northeastern  closed  out  their  best  season  ever  with  a 
19-8  mark,  losing  the  season  finale  to  New  Hampshire, 
74-64,  in  the  ECAC  Division  I  finals.  NU  knocked  off  arch 
rival  Boston  University,  64-54,  in  the  semi-finals  at  Cabot 
Gym  before  a  noisy  crowd  of  400  Husky  hoop  devotees. 
Cameron  (17  pts),  NU's  all-time  leading  scorer,  and 
Green  (16  pts)  led  the  way  against  the  Terriers  as  the 
Huskies  defeated  their  nemesis  for  the  second  time 
during  the  campaign. 

The  twosome  of  Green  and  Cameron  backboned 
Husky  wins  over  nationally  ranked  Rutgers  (76-66),  BC, 
Harvard,  and  UMass-Amherst.  Freshmen  Joanne  Healy, 
Carla  Singleton,  and  Adrienne  Colbert  all  played  like 
veterans,  performing  exceptionally  in  their  "rookie" 
years.  The  trioka  gave  Malchodi  more  than  she  expected 
and  a  solid  base  to  build  on  for  the  next  three  years. 

The  future  looks  bright  for  women's  basketball  as 
coach  Malchodi  and  assistant  Molly  Perdue  have 
assembled  a  solid  program.  Gone  next  year  will  be 
Cameron,  NU's  first  1000-point  scorer  with  a  total  of  1364 
points.  Northeastern  will  also  lose  the  services  of  Ellen 
Soja,  a  player  who  gave  the  opponents  fits  when  they 
tried  to  shoot  inside.  Her  leadership  and  hard  work  will  be 
sorely  missed  by  Malchodi  and  her  teammates.  With  four 
consecutive  winning  seasons  and  three  straight 
tournament  appearances,  it  seems  a  winning  tradition 
has  been  started  here  on  Huntington  Avenue.

Champions  in  and 
out  of  the  water 

The  sixth  year  of  varsity  status  for  the  Swimming  and 
Diving  Teams  at  NU  proved  to  be  winning  ones  for  the 
men  and  women. 

The  men  managed  to  finish  in  the  top  12  in  the  New 
Englands.  Key  wins  came  over  BC  and  Babson,  both  of 
whom  defeated  the  Huskies  during  the  -1983-84  season. 
Three  of  the  four  NU  losses  came  by  five  points  or  less. 

Several  records  were  broken  during  the  1983-84 
meets.  Ed  Gendreau  ('86)  came  on  strong  to  set  six 
school  records,  as  did  breastroker  Joe  Begin  who  set  two 
records.  All  diving  records  at  NU  are  held  by  third  year 
man,  Timmy  Smith.  Tim  managed  to  finish  top  10  in  the 
New  Englands,  even  with  an  injured  hand. 

There  is  light  at  the  end  of  the  tunnel  however.  Head 
coach  Janet  Swanson  notes  that  no  team  members  are 
lost  to  graduation.  The  1983-84  team  is  a  strong  nucleus 
as  19  to  25  members  are  freshmen. 

The  last  few  years  have  been  difficult  for  the  women's 
Swimming  and  Diving  Team.  They  have  experienced  a 
major  move  from  AIAW  Division  2  to  NCAA  Division  1 .  A 
shift  also  was  made  from  Division  B  to  Division  A  in  New 
England.  Adjustments  were  difficult  to  make,  but  things 
settled  in  the  1983-84  season. 

Success  came  in  by  way  of  defeating  four  teams 
which  the  ladies  had  lost  to  during  the  1982-83  season. 
The  strongest  win  was  against  Rhode  Island  90-48. 

Lynn  Loveless  is  expected  to  continue  her  quality  of 
performances.  She  held  eight  school  records  at  the  close 
of  the  1983-84  season  and  is  expected  to  better  those 
in  the  future. 

The  stabilizing  force  to  the  squad  came  in  the  form  of 
co-captains  Renee  Zampetti  and  Chris  Craig.  Both  were 
spiritual  leaders  as  well  as  academic  leaders  who  often 
assisted  teammates  with  schooling  problems. 

Additional  team  inspiration  cames  from  the  courage  of 
Melissa  Donovan  ('87).  She  set  the  record  for  the  200 
yard  backstroke  and  swam  better  each  outing.  During 
the  summer  of  1983-84.  It  was  believed  that  she  would 
never  walk  again.  She  had  been  in  a  car  accident  and 
in  a  coma.  Melissa  recovered  enough  to  come  to  NU 
and  steadily  improved  enough  to  swim  again.  Her 
amazing  progress  had  her  at  almost  100%  at  the  end  of 
the  1983-84  season. 

Coach  Swanson's  philosophy  is  that  anyone  who  tries 
out  for  the  team  will  be  on  it.  They  must  work  hard  and 
both  individual  academic  and  athletic  goals  will  be  set. 
She  contends  that  swimming  is  part  of  education  and 
they  both  go  hand-in-hand.

Gymnasts  post  winning 
record  for  '83-84 
Season 

The  1983-84  season  was  not  a  banner  year  for  the 
gymnastics  teams.  A  slow  start  and  a  key  injury  hurt  the 
team's  record.  Stephanie  Richard  hyper-extended  her 
knee.  She  was  missed,  having  a  top  high  scorer  and  top 
performer. 

Captain  Donna  Gerolam  began  to  develop  into  a  top 
performer  late  in  the  season.  This  third  year  gymnast 
peaked  during  the  URI/Southern  Connecticut  meet  in 
which  she  scored  a  total  of  35.30  points  in  four  events 
for  an  8.8  average. 

The  loss  of  graduating  seniors  Sue  MacConnell  and 
Roxanne  Phillips  will  be  tough  to  overcome.  It  is  hoped 
that  a  strong  recruiting  period  will  strengthen  the  squad 
and  add  depth.

Behind  stars 

are  the  people  who 
help  make  them  shine 

Long  before  an  athletic  team  prepares  to  battle  an 
opponent  and  long  after  the  teams  have  showered  and 
gone  out  celebrating,  there  is  a  group  of  people  working  to 
ensure  that  everything  runs  smoothly.  This  group  rarely  has 
the  spotlight  shine  upon  them  and  are  rarely  invited  to 
celebrate  after  a  big  win. 

These  behind  the  scenes  people  deserve  a  pat  on  the 
back.  Without  them,  the  games  might  never  begin. 

The  work  begins  long  before  the  teams  even  take  to 
practicing.  Adminstrators  schedule  the  games  and  work  out 
the  details.  The  promotion  department  starts  promoting  the 
"Big  Game."  Secretaries  type  those  rush  memos  only  to  have 
someone  else  sign  them.  And  the  sports  information  staff 
pumps  out  the  endless  paperwork  on  the  teams  involved. 

As  practice  starts  up,  managers  and  equipment  people 
carry  bags  and  boxes  for  what  seems  like  all  day.  The  players 
are  patched  up  by  the  trainers,  allowing  the  stars  their 
chance  to  shine. 

As  game  time  approaches,  the  grounds  crew  hurriedly 
prepares  to  have  everything  ready  for  the  game.  Hot  dogs 
warm  as  the  concession  workers  prepare  for  the  thousands  of 
people  to  arrive.  These  screaming  fans  are  not  as  anxiously 
awaited  by  the  security  staff,  but  they  are  ready  just  the 
same. 

The  announcer  introduces  the  starting  line-up.  The  band 
strikes  up  the  National  Anthem  and  the  referee  starts  the 
game.  The  crowd  becomes  ecstatic  with  each  point  scored. 
As  the  game  concludes  and  the  fans  pack  up,  the  clean-up 
crew  is  ready  to  do  their  thing. 

The  conclusion  of  each  game  is  usually  marked  with  a  large 
ovation.  This  outpour  of  noise  is  for  the  "stars."  People  may 
not  recognize  the  behind-the-scenes  people  on  the  street, 
but  they  are  the  real  stars.  To  all  these  people  and  any  we 
may  have  missed,  here's  one  big  huge  cheer  of  THANKS!  Hear 
it? 


The  ticket  takers  enable  the  throngs  of  fans  to  get  past  the  gate.

Student  activities 


Tracy  Storella 


Mary  Beth  Haigh 


The  purpose  of  Northeastern's  Student  Activities  program 
is  to  provide  all  full-time  Basic  College  students  with  a 
variety  of  opportunities  for  experience,  training,  recreation, 
and  spare  time  interests.  By  participating  in  student 
activities,  students  add  to  their  education  and  personal 
development,  Puild  up  assets  that  may  be  as  important 
upon  graduation  as  their  academic  record,  and  they  make 
significant  contributions  to  the  university.  The  university 
encourages  participation  in  student  activities  by  reserving 
Activities  Hours  on  Mondays  and  Tuesdays  from  11:35  AM 
to  1:35  PM.  These  hours  are  for  organization  meetings,  and 
no  classes  are  scheduled  during  that  time. 

Since  its  opening  in  the  Fall  of  1965,  the  Carl  S.  Ell 
Student  Center  has  been  a  popular  place  for  students.  It 
provides  meeting  rooms,  offices  for  student  organizations, 
study  areas,  game  rooms,  The  NU  Rathskellar,  and  a 
student  cafeteria.  The  newest  addition  to  the  cafeteria  is 
Burger  King,  which  opened  in  Fall,  1983. 

The  Student  Activities  Staff  keeps  the  student 
organizations  going,  functioning  in  many  capacities.  Many 
of  them  advise  different  groups.  The  Business  Manager 
keeps  track  of  all  organizations'  budgets.  The  Scheduler 
arranges  rooms  for  special  activies  and  group  meetings, 
and  the  Operations  assistants  maintain  building  security. 
These  are  just  a  few  of  the  duties  of  the  members  of  the 


Student  Activities  Staff. 

Student  Activities  are  affected  by  co-op  and  the  quarter 
system  (as  are  many  things  at  this  university).  Since  most 
students  are  on  co-op  for  half  of  each  school  year, 
organizations  very  rarely  have  students  involved  in  their 
group  for  a  full  year.  Therefore  almost  every  organization 
has  two  sets  of  members,  two  sets  of  officers,  and  in  some 
cases  even  two  constitutions.  This  can  make  things  quite 
confusing  every  three  months  when  divisions  change.  It  also 
means  that  most  clubs  have  to  be  careful  when  planning 
long-term  projects  so  that  the  project  will  be  finished  by 
the  end  of  the  quarter. 

The  fact  that  Northeastern  is  largely  a  commuter  school, 
use  of  the  quarter  system,  and  the  overall  more 
professionally  oriented  atmosphere  at  Northeastern  are  all 
reasons  for  a  somewhat  apathetic  attitude  noticed  at 
times  toward  student  activities.  Most  organizations  have  an 
average  of  10  active  members,  not  a  very  large  number 
when  total  number  of  students  is  considered. 

Over  the  past  few  years,  however,  there  has  been  a 
steady  upswing  in  student  involvement.  For  example,  the 
class  of  1984  had  the  highest  percentage  of  seniors 
working  on  their  yearbook  in  the  past  four  years.  This  is  an 
encouraging  sign  for  the  future.

The  Northeastern  News 


The  Northeastern  News  is  the  weekly  student  newspaper  on 
campus.  Its  dual  purpose  is  to  report  to  the  students  the 
events  that  directly  affect  them,  as  well  as  provide  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  journalism  students  to  prepare  a 
newspaper  firsthand.  The  Northeastern  News  has  been  in 
publication  for  over  forty  years,  and  is  published  by  the 
university  itself.  Four  years  ago,  they  were  crowned  one  of 
the  better  college  newspapers  in  the  nation,  receiving  Ail- 
American  Honorable  Mention  status.  Periodically,  the  staffers 
sponsor  special  features  in  their  paper  such  as  photo  contests 
and  Valentine's  Day  personals.  Plans  are  currently  under  way 
to  improve  the  quality  of  the  paper  and  its  accessibility  to 
the  students.  There  are  hopes  of  the  Northeastern  News 
becoming  an  independent  newspaper  in  the  near  future.

Student  Government  Association 


The  Student  Government  Association  (SGA)  serves  as  a  liason 
between  the  school  administration  and  the  student  body.  Since 
President  Ryder  signed  their  new  constitution  in  August  ot  1981, 
the  SGA  has  enjoyed  better  representation  from  all  of  the 
colleges  (i.e  one  senator  per  every  500  students).  They  are 
working  toward  a  goal  where  university-wide  elections  of 
senators  will  be  a  common  practice.  Currently,  senators  are 
appointed  by  most  of  the  colleges. 

In  the  past  year  the  SGA  sponsored  and  ran  the  referendums 
for  the  recreation  complex  and  the  new  student  activities  fee. 
This  was  the  first  university-wide  polling  of  the  student  body  in 
over  20  years.  They  also  participated  in  Student  Government 
Information  Day  on  January  28,  1984  at  Henderson  House  in 
Weston.  Outgoing  and  incoming  officers,  senators,  and 
administration  officials  were  among  those  who  attended. 

The  elected  officers  in  the  course  of  the  1983-1984  year  were 
in  office  during  a  transition  period.  None  of  the  elected  officials 
had  been  officers  before.  The  following  is  a  list  of  the  officers 
who  ran  the  40-member  Student  Government  Association: 

Summer/Fall  1983—  Paul  Caruso,  Helen  Fuchs,  Marc  Savitt,  Faith 
Crisely.  Winter/Spring  1984—  Harriet  Wall,  Matthew  Blodgett,

Delta  Phi  Epsilon  International  Sorority  was  chartered  as  the 
Phi  Eta  Chapter  at  Northeastern  University  in  1969.  Since  then 
it  has  grown  tremendously  with  the  1983-84  school  season 
Peing  one  of  its  most  exciting  and  prosperous  years. 

Among  the  social  and  community  events,  there  were 
parties  with  fraternities,  homecoming  events,  talent  shows, 
blood  drives,  and  most  important,  the  Shriver  Center 
Fundraiser  for  mentally  retarded  children.  For  the  past  two 
years  Delta  Phi  Epsilon  has  received  the  Trustees  award  for 
the  outstanding  statewide  chapter.  That  is,  the  sisters  have 
collected  more  money  for  the  center  than  any  other  sorority 
or  fraternity  in  Massachusetts. 

Within  the  university,  Delta  Phi  Epsilon  is  a  voting  member  of 
the  Intersorority  Council  and  the  only  honorary  member  of  the 
Interfraterntiy  Council. 

In  its  66  year  history,  Delta  Phi  Epsilon  has  worked  to 
develop  a  social  conscience  and  a  willingness  to  think  in 
terms  of  the  common  good.  Continuous  development  for 
sisters  in  the  fraternal  world  is  stressed,  as  well  as 
achievement  in  the  university  setting.  Moreover,  the  15  sisters 
of  Delta  Phi  Epsilon  emphasize  individuality,  community 
awareness,  and  social  skills. 
Listed  below  are  the  1983-84  officers:

Vietnamese  Student 


The  Vietnamese  Student  Club,  which  was  recently  formed, 
consists  of  50  members.  They  serve  a  dual  purpose.  First,  they 
want  to  provide  Vietnamese  cultural,  educational,  and  social 
activities  to  the  university  community.  They  also  want  to  bring 
Vietnamese  students  together.  The  four  officers  of  the  club 
are  pictured  here.

The  Honors  Program  Student  Advisory  Council  is  a  group  of 
12  students  who  plan  extracurricular  activities.  They  also 
advise  the  faculty  committee  and  the  department  director 
about  factors  concerning  the  students'  point  of  view  on 
curriculum  planning  and  program  policies. 

During  the  course  of  each  school  guarter,the  Honors  Council 
selects  speakers  for  the  "in  house"  speaker  series.  On 
November  17,  1983  they  sponsored  and  planned  one  such 
event.  Professor  Debra  Kaufman,  associate  professor  of 
sociology,  spoke  about  the  topic,  "A  Turn  to  the  Right:  Family 
and  Sex  Roles  in  the  Year  2000." 

On  December  2,  1983  the  Honors  Council  sponsored  and 
ran  a  trip  to  "Wintersauce"  at  the  First  and  Second  Church  in 
Boston.  This  special  occasion  was  an  ecumenical  concert  of 
Christmas  and  Hannukah  music  performed  by  the  Wintersause 
Chorale. 

In  addition  to  the  mentioned  events,  this  council  also 
sponsors  a  speaker  series,  in  which  there  are  usually  three 
speakers  during  the  course  of  the  year;  and  social  and 
cultural  activities  for  their  members. 


The  Student  Alumni  Association,  which  is  in  its  first  year  as 
an  organization,  has  three  key  functions  to  which  they 
adhere.  First,  they  cooperate  with  and  assist  in  the  promotion 
of  goals  and  purposes  of  Northeastern  University  and  the 
Northeastern  Alumni  Association.  Secondly,  they  instill  a  spirit 
of  loyalty  and  friendship  among  students,  alumni,  and  friends 
of  N.U.  Finally,  they  offer  enriching  educational,  social  and 
character  events  for  all  students  and  alumni  at  Northeastern. 

The  36  members  sponsored  the  survival  kit  project,  which 
sent  "care  packages"  to  students.

The  Choral  Society's  main  function  is  to  promote  good 
fellowship  among  members  of  the  Northeastern  community 
and  to  foster  aesthetic  and  educational  experiences  through 
the  rehearsal  and  performance  of  choral  music. 

The  Choral  Society  is  divided  into  three  groups  totaling 
approximately  65  participants.  The  largest  is  the  Concert 
Chorus,  which  is  open  to  all  students,  faculty,  and  alumni.  The 
Chamber  Singers  (consisting  of  24  members)  and  the  Madrigal 
Singers  (consisting  of  the  best  12  singers)  is  by  audition  only. 
Some  members  are  chosen  periodically  to  sing  at  special 
activities  such  as  the  inter-collegiate  choral  festival, 
dedications,  and  Christmas  parties. 

These  illustrious  singers  have  the  specific  honor  of  being 
chosen  to  record  an  album  of  20th  century  music  for  N.U. 
Records.  They  are  presently  in  the  second  year  of  a  four-year 
Handel  and  Bach  Festival,  which  shall  come  to  a  climatic 
ending  in  1985.  At  that  time  the  Choral  Society  will  celebrate 
the  300th  anniversary  of  Handel's  and  Bach's  births.  It  is  also 
worthy  to  note  that  the  Choral  Society  has  presented  such 
works  as  Hayden's  Lord  Nelson  Mass,  Handels's  oratorios 
Messiah  and  Judas  Maccabaeus,  and  Bach's  Cantata  Number 
Four. 


The  Onyx  -  Informer 


The  Onyx-Informer  is  the  monthly  newspaper  of  the  black

NU  Hus-skiers  and  Outing  Club 


NUHOC  (NU  Hus-skiers  and  Outing  Club)  is  one  of  the  largest 
organizations  on  campus  with  150  members.  Its  main  purpose 
is  to  promote  and  carry  out  outdoor  recreation  at  a 
reasonable  cost  to  the  Northeastern  University  community. 

One  of  the  main  bases  from  which  trips  take  place  is 
Northeastern's  lodge  in  Shelburne,  NH.  The  lodge  is  a  rustic 
building  set  in  the  White  Mountain  National  Forest.  The  lodge 
houses  40  people  in  its  bunkrooms  and  two  large  sleeping 
lofts.  There  is  an  open  area  with  a  large  fireplace  surrounded 
by  couches  and  chairs  for  gatherings. 

A  favorite  pastime  is  group  singalongs  around  a  roaring  fire 
where  some  members  display  such  talents  as  guitar-playing 
and  singing,  and  where  others  just  have  a  good  time. 

The  large  kitchen  has  a  restaurant-size  gas  range  and  a 
wood  stove.  The  water  is  supplied  by  a  pump  house  located 
outside  the  lodge.  The  lodge  is  serviced  by  gas  alone,  having 
neither  electricity  nor  indoor  plumbing. 

Some  of  the  special  annual  events  sponsored  by  NUHOC 
include:  the  Annual  Freshman  Barbecue;  Newcomers' 
Weekend  at  the  lodge;  the  Halloween  Hayride  and 
Extravaganza;  the  Annual  Winter  Carnival  at  the  lodge;  and 
the  Annual  Spring  Banguet  and  Awards  Ceremony. 

Awards  given  annually  include:  Hus-skier  of  the  Year; 
Newcomer  of  the  Year;  Three  Stage  Jackass  (for  three 
separate  acts  of  clumsiness,  stupidity,  or  hilarity  committed  by 
the  same  person);  and  Garbage  Can  Award  (for  outstanding 
consumption  of  food  by  one  person  in  one  sitting).

The  Northeastern  Hillel 


The  Northeastern  Hillel  strives  to  provide  the  Northeastern 
Jewish  community  with  a  place  in  which  to  meet  other  Jewish 
people,  share  in  religious  experiences,  and  learn  about  the 
cultural  aspects  of  Judaism. 

Over  the  course  of  the  past  year,  their  organization  has 
developed  into  a  strong  community  within  the  university.  They 
have  practically  doubled  their  active  population,  which  is  now 
135  people,  and  are  looking  forward  to  even  a  larger 
expansion  in  the  coming  year. 

This  large  group  is  involved  with  many  activities.  They  offer 
free  lunches  on  Thursday  afternoons  during  Activities  Hours; ' 
attend  Happy  Hour  with  other  school's  Hillels;  provide  faculty 
and  student  functions;  sponsor  retreats;  and  have  study 
sessions  with  the  Rabbi. 

The  Hillel  is  at  Northeastern  for  Jewish  students  and  faculty, 
and  are  attempting  to  strengthen  the  bond  which  is 
beginning  to  appear  amongst  the  Jewish  population  at  NU.

Children's  Daycare  Center 


They  are  perhaps  the  youngest  students  on 
campus.  They  never  have  to  preregister  tor  class, 
they  don't  have  work-study  jobs  and  you'll  never 
see  them  in  the  Cask,  although  they're  certainly 
short  enough  to  sneak  past  the  bouncers. 

This  elite  group  belongs  to  the  Russell  J.  Call 
Children's  Center,  a  daycare  facility  for  the  children 
of  students,  faculty,  staff  and  alumni  of 
Northeastern.  Located  in  the  Forsyth  building  the 
center  has  operated  under  the  direction  of  Harriet 
Kahn  for  the  past  six  years  and  boasts  an 
enrollment  of  32  young  Huskies.  Beside  lots  of 
rambunctious  fun,  the  center  has  designed  an  early 
childhood  education  program  for  preschool  children 
and  is  staffed  by  four  professionals,  some  graduate 
assistants  and  work-study  students. 

The  day  begins  at  7:30  a.m.  and  runs  to  5  p.m. 
and  is  chock  full  of  things  to  do  and  trouble  to  get 
into. 

So  the  next  time  you  catch  a  glimpse  of  these 
less  than  statuesque  kids  being  led  around  campus 
by  their  teachers,  remember  the  daycare  center. 
Even  freshmen  aren't  that  short. 


Instead  of  studying 


In  addition  to  the  yearbook  and 
other  student  activities,  there  are 
many  means  ot  procrastination  for 
the  "nonstudious"  type  of  student 
found  in  the  Ell  Student  Center. 

The  most  recent  addition  is  a  new 
video  game  room  (NU  is  keeping  up 
with  the  times!).  It's  located  across 
from  Burger  King  in  the  basement. 
Many  a  student  has  been  there  to 
relax  after  an  exam  or  to  put  off 
studying  for  another. 

In  addition  to  that  video  game 
room,  there's  another  game  room 
located  on  the  third  floor  of  the  Ell 
Center.  This  one  features  pool  and 
ping-pong  tables,  a  television  area, 
and  pinball  machines. 

Quarters  can  be  very  rare  during 
finals  week!! 


Pieces  of  a  day 

A  photographer's  job  is  to  take  pictures, 
simple  enough,  but  the  picture  is  the  world 
which  can  be  broken  down  into  hundreds  of 
millions  of  smaller  pictures  that  can  be 
broken  down  ten  fold.  It  is  like  a  jigsaw 
puzzle  and  a  photographer  is  buried  in 
millions  of  pieces.  He  sorts  and  searches  for 
the  best  ones  that  fit.  He  is  also  limited  to 
particular  places  so  the  puzzle  becomes 
smaller.  All  of  these  pictures  were  shot  in 
Boston  on  the  same  day.  The  job  I  had  was 
to  find  the  key  pieces  of  that  day  and

solved  and  here  are  the  best  pieces  of  that

From  Cape  Cod  to  Rockport,  here 
are  some  of  the  more  unusual  sights 
along  the  shores  of  the  Bay  State.  Most 
of  them  are  not  the  typical  postcard 
shots  but  nonetheless  these  places  are 
very  special  to  the  people  who  know 
the  area.  Escaping  to  the  sea  is  a 
favorite  form  of  relaxation  for  many 
people.

Boston  After  Dark 

Boston's  skyline  may  be  interesting  by  day,  but  at  night 
Beantown  becomes  a  wondrous  new  world.  On  a  clear 
night  there  are  many  spectacular  views  from  the  taller 
buildings  and  bridges,  and  from  the  shoreline.  After  dark, 
Boston's  buildings  can  be  seen  from  an  entirely  different 
perspective.

A  conversation 
with  the  Ryders 


If  you  think  the  president  of 
Northeastern  might  be  out  of 
touch  with  the  students,  think 
again.  He's  married  to  one. 

President  Kenneth  G.  Ryder's 
wife  is  currently  attending  day 
classes  as  C.  Theresa  Ryan. 
MRS.  RYDER:  "And  when  I  leave 
you  I  have  to  take  off  my 
earrings  and  change  out  of  my 
silk  blouse  into  my  grunges  and 
go  to  class. 

"I'm  finishing  my  English  degree. 
I  earned  most  of  my  degree  in 
my  own  name  and  I'm  keeping 
my  own  name.  My  name  is  Ryan 
so  I  didn't  have  to  change  my 
towels. 

"I'm  trying  to  arrange  classes 
with  professors  whom  I  know  and 
have  interacted  with  over  the 
years  so  that  they  are  not 
intimidated  and  I'll  get  the  grade 
that  I  deserve  and  that's  it. 
Beyond  that  .  .  .  it's  a  difficult  role 
to  play  because  you  just  don't 
want  anybody  to  think  you're 
getting  any  favors.  Believe  me. 
I'm  not!" 

CAULDRON:  Could  you  please  fill 
us  in  on  your  background? 
MRS.  RYDER:  "I  came  on  an  Irish 
Aer  Lingus  jet.  I  was  born  in 
Dublin,  raised  in  Dublin  and 
worked  in  Dublin.  Then  I  went  to 
live  and  work  in  London  and  then 
I  came  back  to  Dublin  and 
worked  for  a  travel  agent  and 
started  travelling  in  Europe.  Then. 
I  got  the  travel  bug  and  I 
decided  that  I  would  like  to  see 
America — not  stay  in  America — 
just  visit.  The  alternative  was  to 
go  home  and  get  married  and  be 
respectable  like  my  mother 
wanted  me  to. 

"So  I  came  to  Boston  actually 
as  what  they  call  in  European 
terminology  an   'au  pair.'   I 
worked  as  a  governess  down  on 
the  Cape  for  a  family.  I  decided 
to  do  it  that  way  because  I'd 
never  been  to  America,  I  didn't 
know  anybody  in  America  and  I 
decided  I  couldn't  set  up  an 
apartment  in  a  place  I  didn't 
know  anything  about. 

"So  I  did  that  for  a  year  and 
then  I  came  to  Boston  to  make 
my  fortune.  I  went  back  to  work 
as  a  secretary  as  I  had  been  in 
Dublin  and  I  started  working  as  a 
Kelly  Girl  which  was  one  of  those 
temporary  agents  where  you  can 
go  to  work  when  you  want.  And 
if  you  don't  feel  like  getting  up  on 
Monday  morning,  you  don't  get 
up  on  Monday  morning.  Except 
on  Friday  your  paycheck  looks 
miserable. 

"I  decided  I  was  never  going  to 
make  my  fortune  that  way  so  I'd 
better  get  a  well-paying  job 
where  I  had  to  be  there  five  days 
a  week.  And  I  interviewed  in 
several  places. 

"Now.  in  the  meantime  I  was 
taking  courses  at  Northeastern. 
But  I  was  paying  for  them  out  of 
my  pittance  of  an  agency  fee. 
And  somebody  said,  'well  if  you're 
interviewing  for  jobs  why  don't 


you  go  and  interview  at 
Northeastern  because  if  you  go 
there,  part  of  the  fringe  benefit  is 
to  pay  for  some  of  your  tuition. 
And  so  I  did.  And  I  was  hired  as 
secretary  to  the  Dean  of  Business. 

"Then  I  became  an 
adminstrative  assistant  and  I  got 
into  the  big  time  and  moved  into 
adminstration  with  the  V.P.s  and 
all  of  those  'stellar  performers.' 

"Then  I  came  to  work  in  the 
executive  vice  president's  office. 
So  I  was  going  to  school  at  night 
and  working  during  the  day  and 
my  methods  of  operating  the 
office  were  not  quite  orthodox — 
is  that  how  you  would  put  it 
dear?" 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "I  think  that's 
correct." 

MRS.  RYDER:  "And  so  the 
executive  vice  president,  who 
was  very  concerned  about  the 
image  of  the  university  decided 
that  he'd  have  to  marry  me  to 
get  me  out  of  there.  And  so  he 
did." 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "In  effect,  she 
liked  to  carry  on  the  traditions  of 
Ireland:  if  she  wanted  to  sleep 
late  in  the  morning  she'd  call  in 
one  half  an  hour  after  the 
business  day  had  begun  and  say, 
I'm  going  to  be  late  today.'  " 
MRS.  RYDER:  "But  I  always  made 
up  my  time." 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "Yes.  but 
nobody  saw  you  working  at  6:00 
at  the  other  end  of  the  day." 
MRS  Ryder:  "That  was  flexi-time.  I 
was  ahead  of  my  time." 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "But  a  very  bad 
model  for  the  rest  of  the  office." 
MRS  RYDER:  "I  also  took  well  days. 
I  never  took  sick  days.  I  never 
saw  any  sense  in  taking  sick  days. 
I  mean  you'd  have  to  stay  home 
and  be  sick.  So  when  I  felt  very 
well  I'd  say,  'I  didn't  take  a  sick 
day  this  month  so  I'm  taking  a 
well  day.'  " 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "Filene's 
Basement  here  I  come." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "Right!  And  I 
interrupted  my  full  bloom  college 
career  to  have  two  babies.  Julie 
is  five  and  Amy  is  seven.  And  now 
they  are  both  in  school. 

"It's  very  difficult  to  balance 
being  a  mother,  being  a  student 
and  attending  university  functions. 
The  life  of  the  university  goes  far 
beyond  the  confines  of  the 
university.  The  outreach  for  public 
relations  purposes  are  enormous 
and  a  president's  spouse — and  I 
say  spouse  advisedly  because 
there  are  more  women  presidents 
now — is  involved  in  a  lot  of  these 
public  relations  activities  and  I 
think  serves  a  good  purpose.  For 
a  university  this  big  it's  hard  for 
one  person  to  go  to  this  many 
functions  and  meet  all  of  the 
people  who  are  there. 

"And  the  other  advantage  I 
have  in  social  interaction  with  the 
university  people  is  that  I've 
worked  at  the  university.  Most 
presidents'  spouses,  who  come 
with  them  with  the  job,  are 


"If  I  may 
go  back  to 
the  Maurice 
Chevalier 
line  in 
'Gigi,' 
'I'm  glad 
I'm  not 
young 
anymore.'  " 


PRESIDENT  KEN 
RYDER 


entering  on  a  new  field  where 
they  are  introduced  to  all  these 
people  and  can't  interact  with 
them  the  way  I  can,  because  I 
know  the  janitors  and  their 
families  all  the  way  up  through 
the  executive  vice  president. 

"And  I've  learned  not  to  wear 
rings  ...  on  my  right  hand  .  .  . 
you  shake  so  many  hands.  I  came 
home  one  night  and  my  fingers 
were  all  blistered!  Hey,  I'm  not 
complaining!  It's  just  one  of  the 
hazards  of  the  job." 
CAULDRON:  So  your  private  and 
public  lives  are  one  and  the 
same. 

MRS.  RYDER:  "It's  a  good  point 
that  you  make,  because  this  is 
optional  for  me.  Because  there's 
nowhere  in  his  contract  that  says  I 
have  to  do  this.  But  if  I  didn't  I 
would  hardly  get  to  see  him.  As  it 
is  I  know  he's  in  the  house 
because  I  keep  finding  shirts  in 
the  laundry.  But,  beyond  that,  he 
could  be  anywhere. 

"So  I  think  if  you  want  an 
ongoing  family  relationship,  if  you 
have  small  children  especially,  it's 


important  for  me  to  interact  on 
that  basis." 

CAULDRON:  What  do  you  find 
most  satisfying  about  being  the 
president's  spouse? 
MRS.  RYDER:  "I  think  it  serves  my 
purposes  very  well.  I  got  married 
very  late  in  life  and  I  suppose  I 
could  be  classified  as  a  latter  day 
feminist,  having  come  from  a 
feminist  family.  So  I  am  given  the 
opportunity  of  having  a  family 
and  yet  on  a  day  to  day  basis 
being  involved  in  a  professional 
way  with  a  professional  job. 

"I  tell  my  children  when  I'm 
going  out— and  I  go  out  quite  a 
bit — that  I  am  going  to  work. 
Because  while  it's  always  pleasant 
to  meet  people  ...  it's  still  work. 

"There  are  times  when  I  don't 
feel  like  I  want  to  go  out.  I  don't 
feel  like  getting  dressed  up.  I'd 
rather  stay  home  in  my  jeans  and 
sweatshirt  and  have  a  hot  dog. 

"But  the  upside  of  that  is  that  I 
am  not  your  average  suburban 
housewife  that  stopped 
midstream  to  having  had  a  very 
active,  busy  life  and  then  stayed 


"It's  very 

difficult  to 

balance 

being  a 

mother, 

being  a 

student  and 

attending 

university 

functions." 


TERRY 
RYDER 


in  suburbia  and  had  the  children 
and  moaned  about  being 
confined.  I  have  in  fact,  a  very 
flexible  schedule  where  I  can  be 
with  the  children  for  as  much  as 
they  need  me.  And,  of  course, 
they're  the  priority. 

"But  I  also  feel  that  I'm  in 
contact  with  the  outside  world 
through  all  of  this  work  I  do  with 
the  univeristy.  So  it's  sort  of  like 
being  an  active,  busy,  successful, 
working  mother  with  the  flexibility 
of  not  going  if  I  don't  have  to  go. 
I  think  that's  what  I  find  most 
satisfying. 

"At  some  time  I'll  hit  the  board 
of  trustees  up  for  a  salary  but  I 
don't  think  they're  going  to  buy 
that." 

CAULDRON:  President  Ryder,  you 
do  a  great  deal  of  public 
speaking.  Have  you  ever  had  any 
formal  training  in  that  area  and 
how  do  you  prepare  for  a 
speech? 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:"I  would  say  that 
most  of  my  facility  in  speaking 
has  come  about  not  for  good 
reasons  but  for  wrong  reasons. 


When  I  started  teaching  my  first 
year  as  a  history  professor  I  had 
every  lecture  completely  written 
out  in  advance  and  I  guess  I 
probably  read  the  lecture  to  the 
class.  That  was  good  for  the  first 
two  months  and  then  I  began  to 
run  out  of  time.  I  ended  up  the 
first  year  with  just  one  or  two 
outlines  and  was  largely  forced  to 
speak  on  the  spot  from  a  very 
vague  kind  of  advanced 
preparation. 

"I'm  the  despair  of  the  public 
relations  people  because  they 
always  want  advance  text.  They 
want  to  know  what  my  speech  is 
going  to  be  and  sometimes  I 
don't  know  until  I  get  up  to  speak 
...  I  don't  recommend  this  but 
the  ability  to  do  it  is  helpful." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "There  was  one 
point  that  the  public  relations 
people  .  .  .  decided  they'd  wire 
him  for  sound.  They  put  a  little 
recorder  into  his  pocket  except 
he  either  ran  out  of  batteries  or 
kept  forgetting  to  turn  it  on," 
CAULDRON:  President  Ryder,  what 
has  been  your  most 


uncomfortable  experience? 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "My  most 
uncomfortable  experience  ...  I 
don't  think  I've  had  any." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "Well  maybe  if  I 
could  throw  some  light  into  It.  I 
think  one  thing  that  concerns 
somebody  like  Ken  is,  when 
you're  reaching  out  to  so  many 
people,  not  being  able  to  have 
more  student  contact." 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "Yes,  the  job 
really  is  a  constant  challenge  in 
the  sense  that  you  always  feel 
inadequate.  One  of  the  great 
frustrations  is  the  limitation  of 
human  energy  and  of  time.  I 
prided  myself  at  one  point  on 
knowing  every  single  faculty 
member  and  most  of  their  family 
personally.  And  that  simply  is  not 
possible  both  given  the  size  of  the 
present  group  and  the 
distractions  of  the  job." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "Oh  I  think  you  were 
embarrassed  when  I  smashed  the 
glass  at  the  toast  during  the 
student  dinner  last  year." 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "Oh  you 
embarrass  me  all  the  time  ..." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "At  the  senior  dinner 
dance  I  did  a  toast  or  some  such 
thing  and  smashed  the  wine  glass 
and  all  the  kids  are  sitting  around 
saying,  'there's  the  president's 
wife,  this  lady  has  no  class.'  That 
was  really  embarrassing  so  I  won't 
do  that  if  I'm  invited  to  the  senior 
dinner  dance  this  year.  They're 
giving  me  a  plastic  beaker,  I 
think." 

CAULDRON:  Mrs.  Ryder,  how  do 
you  relax  and  how  does  your 
husband  relax? 
MRS.  RYDER:  "Well,  of  course 
being  an  English  major  my 
greatest  relaxation  is  reading. 
Especially  Shakespeare.  My 
husband  relaxes  by  gardening 
and  pottery  and  he  is  a 
cook — no  I'll  qualify  that, — he  is  a 
chef.  The  difference  between  a 
cook  and  a  chef  is  that  a  cook 
washes  up  after  himself,  a  chef 
doesn't." 

CAULDRON:  President  Ryder,  how 
do  you  think  students  view  you? 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "I  think  they 
view  me  as  an  absentee  landlord. 
I  sort  of  jokingly  say  in  my  speech 
to  incoming  freshmen  that  this 
might  be  the  last  time  they  ever 
see  me  before  they  graduate. 
And  yet  it's  sadly  true  for  a  large 
number  of  people. 

"Oh  I  guess  enough  recognize 
me  so  that  when  I  go  out  to  the 
car  or  walk  down  the  corridor  I 
get  an  occasional  greeting." 
CAUDLRON:  And  how  do  you 
view  the  1984  seniors? 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "It  seems  to  me 
from  what  contact  I  have,  with 
the  people  I  know,  the  seniors 
graduating  in  1984  are  a  pretty 
well-balanced  group.  I  think  they 
have  a  serious  desire  to  do  well 
academically  and  to  prepare 
themselves  for  good  careers.  It's 
a  seriousness  of  purpose  that  has 
not  been  present  in  previous 
years. 

"And  there  also  seems  to  be  a 
good  social  balance  .  .  .  knowing 
how  to  have  a  good  time  and 
relax  as  bit.  If  there's  anything  out 
of  balance  it  may  be  a  little  bit 
too  much  seriousness  in  terms  of 
job  preparation  and  getting 
employment.  But  I  think  it's  a 
pretty  well  adjusted  class  with  a 


good  deal  of  potential." 
MRS.  RYDER:  "I  agree  with  that.  I 
was  a  little  dismayed  in  my  first 
class  when  on  the  first  day  a 
young  man  came  in  and  sat 
down  in  the  very  front  row  and 
gave  a  big  stretch  and  then  put 
his  head  down  on  the  desk  and 
went  right  to  sleep. 

"But  in  general  I  would  say  that 
what  I  see  as  an  adult  standing 
back  and  looking  at  it,  is  a 
seriousness  of  purpose.  The 
economic  situation  being  what  it 
is  .  .  .  kids  at  Northeastern  can't 
play  around  that  much.  Students 
nowadays  recognize  what  their 
goals  are  and  they  see 
Northeastern  as  a  means  to 
getting  a  good  career.  I  like  to 
see  them  having  fun,  too.  I  think 
the  balance  is  important." 
CAULDRON:  President  Ryder, 
would  you  like  to  be  a  college 
student  in  the  1980s? 
PRESIDENT  RYDER:  "No.  If  I  may  go 
back  to  the  Maurice  Chevalier 
line  in  'Gigi,'  Tm  glad  I'm  not 
young  anymore.'  I  think  that  some 
of  the  uncertanties  that  you  face 
in  the  teens  and  twenties— some 
of  the  attempts  to  understand 
yourself  and  your  own  potential, 
coming  to  grips  with  your 
qualities— is  kind  of  a  painful  part 
of  life.  To  that  extent  being  a  bit 
older  and  having  to  come  to 
grips  with  some  of  those 
things— knowing  your  limitations 
and  accepting  them  and 
knowing  your  strengths  and 
accepting  those  .  .  .  having  an 
interesting  and  challenging  life  is 
not  bad  at  all." 

CAULDRON:  What  advice  would 
you  give  to  the  present  seniors? 
MRS.  RYDER:  "Since  I  am  still 
struggling  and  have  not  yet 
become  an  'alum'  it  ill  behooves 
me  to  give  advice.  All  I  can  say  is 
'hang  in  there."  Commencement 
is  really  that:  commencement.  It's 
only  the  beginning.  As  a  European 
one  of  the  things  I  have  found 
thrilling  about  the  United  States  is 
that  you  can  go  on  as  much  as 
you  want  to,  even  in  hard 
economic  times. 

"I  think  Northeastern  is  a  unique 
approach  to  train  people  to  go 
on  and  break  out  of  a  mold  of  a 
particular  specialty  they're  in, 
expand  on  that  or  go  into 
another  area.  I  think  that's  very 
impressive.  And  in  speaking  as  a 
European  and  a  struggling 
student,  I  say  hang  in  there  and 
go  on." 

PRESIDENT  RYDER:  Well  I  guess 
that's  not  a  bad  theme.  I  think 
that  it's  increasingly  clear  that 
with  the  speed  of  change  in  the 
world  that  the  day  is  long  gone 
when  a  college  degree  is  the 
end  of  an  education.  Lifelong 
learning  is  not  only  a  catch 
phrase,  it's  an  actual  necessity 
with  the  people  graduating  in  the 
class  of  1984. 

"There's  no  way  that  any 
graduate  today  can  just  coast 
along  on  their  laurels.  You're 
going  to  have  to,  in  every  field, 
maintain  a  currency  in  rapidly 
changing  state  of  the  art. 

"I  guess  a  little  bit  of  relaxation 
after  graduation  is 
understandable  but  don't  let  it 
last  too  long  because  the  world  is 
getting  very  complicated." 


A  look  back  on 
a  difficult  year 


David  Robbins  is  a  disciplinarian. 
As  dean  of  housing  it's  his  job  to 
make  sure  that  students  follow 
the  guidelines  that  have  been 
established  to  assure  that 
Northeastern's  dormitories  and 
apartments  run  smoothly. 

Robbins  was  graduated  from 
Springfield  College  in  1964  and 
entered  a  graduate  program  in 
Russian  studies  one  year  later  at 
Syracuse  University.  Because  he 
needed  money,  he  became  a 
resident  assistant.  Thus  began  his 
association  with  housing. 

ROBBINS:  "I  loved  the  Russian 
studies  .  .  .  but  I  loved  being  an 
RA  more.  I  got  married  in  May, 
my  first  year  there,  and  applied 
to  be  a  resident  director.  But  they 
turned  me  down.  Then  my  mother 
sent  me  a  blind  ad  from  a 
newspaper  saying,  'resident 
directors  wanted.'  It  had  no 
school  name-just  a  blind  mailbox 
.  .  and  I  became  a  resident 
director  here. 

"I  was  one  year  as  a  resident 
director  at  1 15,  1 19  (Hemenway 
St.)  and  in  May  they  (Housing 
office)  called  me  up  and  said 
'Come  on  over,  we  want  to  talk 
about  your  future.'  They  sat  me 
down  and  said,  'we  want  you  to 
come  in  the  office  as  assistant 
director  of  housing.'  I  said,  'you 
got  it!'  .  .  .  I've  done  the  same 
thing  now  for  17,  18  years." 

CAULDRON:  Are  you  planning  to 
stay  here? 

ROBBINS:  "I'm  probably  trapped 
now.  I'm  not  the  most  popular 
guy  with  the  upper  administration 
because  I'm  a  little  noisy  and  I 
say  what's,  on  my  mind  without 
thinking  of  some  of  the 
consequences.  I've  made  some 
enemies  but  I  do  my  job." 

CAULDRON:  What  has  been 
your  most  pleasant  experience  at 
Northeastern? 

ROBBINS:  "The  affiliations.  The 
people:  the  resident  directors,  the 
RAs.  People  make  this  a  really 
good  place.  It's  why  I've  stayed 
year  after  year.  It  becomes  very 
difficult  to  leave  because  you 
have  so  many  contacts." 

CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  your 
kids  will  come  to  Northeastern? 

ROBBINS;  "I  think  the  older  one 
will  come.  Maybe  not  next  year. 
He's  graduating  this  year  and  he 
hasn't  had  any  interest  in  going 
to  college  until  this  year.  But,  if  he 
can  get  in  he'd  like  to  come. 

"I'd  probably  change  his  name. 
Because  the  name  Robbins  is 
synonomous  with  discipline.  The 
threats  are  always  there:  'If  you 
screw  up  you're  going  to  see' 
Dean  Robbins.'  If  Scott  Robbins  is 
ever  known  as  the  Dean's  son, 
he'd  be  ostracized. 

"But  I  would  never  have  him  go 
to  college  without  living  here  (the 
dorms)  because  that's  the  whole 
experience  of  college.  It's  great." 

CAULDRON:  What  has  been 
your  most  unpleasant  experience 
here? 

ROBBINS:  "Playing  politics. 
Having  people  who  have 
jurisdiction  over  housing  make 
decisions  and  ultimately  they 
don't  take  responsibility  for  them. 


And  we  certainly  have  one  of 
those  experiences  going  on  right 
now.  (Fall,  1983.  Housing  was 
overbooked  for  the  fall  semester 
causing  an  overcrowded  situation 
in  the  dorms.  Many  freshmen 
temporarily  found  themselves 
living  out  of  the  floor  lounges  with 
portable  furniture.)  It  is  not  a 
housing  decision  to  have  all  these 
people  in  and  to  have  all  the  kids 
mad.  Yet  we're  charged  with 
responding  to  angry  parents  and 
disappointed  kids.  That  is  the 
worst. 

"We're  housing  professionals. 
We  know  our  business.  And  when 
other  people  stick  their  noses  in 
and  don't  let  us  do  our  business 
.  .  kids  get  hurt  and  staff  gets 
hurt. 

"(Staff)  morale  is  rock  bottom 
now.  It'll  take  a  year  before  we 
can  do  an  honest  evaluation  of 
what  this  has  meant.  How  many 
kids  will  leave  the  university 
because  they're  so  unhappy  with 
what  happened?  How  many  staff 
will  leave  the  university  who  really 
thought  this  was  a  good  place  to 
work?" 

CAULDRON:  How  about  the  bad 
publicity  you  received  on  Channel 
5? 

ROBBINS:  "That  was  very  minor. 
But  everything  we  have 
accomplished  as  people  (staff) 
together-that  have  made  our 
years  here  together  a  good 
experience-has  gone  out  the 
window. 

"They  have  no  one  else  to  get 
angry  at  so  they  get  angry  at 
me.  I  symbolize  their  problems.  I 
have  people  out  in  the  field,  RAs, 
who  I  have  been  real  close  to, 
who  I've  now  given  roommates 
to.  This  does  not  allow  them  to 
do  their  job  the  way  they  should. 
They're  bummed  out." 

CAULDRON:  What  do  you  see 
happening  in  the  future?  Do  you 
see  Northeastern  expanding  dorm 
space? 

ROBBINS:  "No.  I  just  don't  see 
them  doing  that.  I  think  with  the 
capacity  they  have  now  they 
can  house  the  ones  that  need  to 
be  housed-that's  freshmen.  The 
pressure  on  the  university  to  build 
a  library,  to  build  an  athletic 
complex,  to  build  additional 
classroom  space,  a  parking 
garage.  .  .  I  think  has  to  take 
precedent  over  housing. 

"I  think  what  we  have  to  do  is 
inform  kids  better  if  there  is  no 
housing  available.  You  can't  tell  a 
kid  on  September  10:  'we  know 
you're  coming  on  September  20 
and,  by  the  way,  there's  no 
housing.'  You  can't  do  that.  You 
have  to  start  telling  them  when 
we  run  out. 

"Last  fall  (1982)  we  had  a 
1000-man  waiting  list,  which  was 
okay.  Kids  at  least  knew  they 
were  on  the  waiting  list  and  that 
there  was  no  guarantee  for 
housing.  When  we  opened  our 
building,  we  had  200  vacancies 
that  we  couldn't  fill.  The  kids  had 
found  places  outside,  which  was 
fine. 

"But  when  you  come  walking  in 
the  door  and  you  say,  'where's 


"What  we  do 
in  the  dorms 
is  more 
important 
than  what 
the  professors 
do  in  the 
classroom 
that  first 
year." 


DAVID 
ROBBINS 


my  space,  and  we  say,  'it's  on 
that  cot  in  that  living  room,' 
we've  destroyed  you." 

CAULDRON:  "How  does  this 
relate  to  the  numbers  game — 
being  only  a  social  security 
number? 

ROBBINS:  "That's  always  been  a 
concern  with  the  kids  and  it's  not 
true.  Wherever  you  go  in  the 
university,  there  are  people  such 
as  myself,  Judy  Link,  Dean 
Robinson;  on  up  and  down  the 
line.  .  .  even  Dick  Sochacki — 
you're  not  a  social  security 
number  to  Dick  Sochacki — it's 
people  dealing  with  people." 

CAULDRON:  What  do  you  have 
to  say  to  '84  seniors?  Some  words 
of  wisdom. 

ROBBINS:  "I'm  the  disciplinarian, 
that's  my  job  here.  And  in  the 
dorms,  when  you  think  of  me,  a 
lot  of  kids  think,  '(he's)  the  rules 
and  regulations.' 

"My  philosophy  of  discipline  is 
my  philosophy  of  life.  And  that  is 
that  it's  an  educational 
experience.  Every  day.  If  I 
discipline  a  kid  here  I'm  educating 
him  for  life.  What  we  do  in  the 


dorm  is  more  important  than  what 
the  professors  do  in  the  classroom 
that  first  year.  The  socialization 
process  and  the  adherance  to  a 
set  of  rules  and  regulations.  .  .  is 
really  important. 

"Some  of  my  best  friends  are 
kids  that  I've  disciplined.  Because 
they've  grown  and  they've 
learned  from  it.  It's  allowed  me  to 
do  it  for  a  lot  of  years. 

"Everybody  looks  at  discipline 
as  though  it's  negative.  I  do  not. 
It's  positive.  All  of  us  need  to  be 
disciplined. 

"I  need  to  be  caught  speeding 
occasionally.  I  really  do.  Because 
otherwise  I  might  kill  myself.  But 
when  that  officer  gives  me  a 
ticket,  I  can  get  mad  at  him  or  I 
can  get  mad  at  myself.  Because 
there's  a  basis  for  that  law.  And 
the  rules  and  regulations  that  we 
have  in  the  dorms  are  the  same 
way-there's  a  basis  for  them.  And 
as  long  as  I  can  keep  that  in 
perspective  and  if  I  can 
communicate  that  to  the  kids, 
they're  going  to  grow  and 
become  far  better  people." 


"We  have  to 
speak  for  the 
students.  I'm 
not  sure  who 
else  will." 


RICHARD 
SOCHACKI 


Where  students  try 
out  new  roles  .  .  . 


Where  can  students  become 
involved  with  decision-making 
processes  at  Northeastern,  meet 
students  who  share  a  similar 
interest  and  try  out  something 
new? 

By  participating  in  student 
activities,  said  Dean  Richard 
Sochacki  who  is  the  strategist  and 
head  of  the  student  activities 
programs  at  Northeastern. 

CAULDRON:  Where  did  you 
come  from?  And  how  did  you 
end  up  at  Northeastern? 

SOCHACKI:  "I  was  born  and 
raised  in  Detroit,  Michigan.  I  grew 
up  as  a  very  tough  kid  in  a  very 
tough  city.  I  got  out  of  that 
because  I  had  some  athletic 
ability  and  was  the  first  in  my 
family  to  attend  college.  I  played 
football  at  the  University  of 
Michigan.  I  spent  21  years  in  the 


Army  Corps  of  Engineers.  I  had  a 
very  good  military  experience.  My 
terminal  assignment  was  here  at 
Northeastern.  While  I  was  in  the 
process  of  getting  my  second 
graduate  degree  here,  I  was 
offered  a  job  in  what  was  then,  a 
relatively  new  student  building 
and  because  I  didn't  have 
anything  better  to  do,  I 
accepted  it.  Period.  Isn't  that 
simple? 

"It  was  probably  an  accident.  I 
had  no  real  intention  of  spending 
15  years  at  Northeastern,  but 
that's  what  I  did." 

CAULDRON:  At  one  time,  you 
were  considering  a  transfer.  Do 
you  think  you'll  stay  here? 

SOCHACKI:  "I'm  comfortable 
here.  I'm  not  sure  that  I  want  to 
continue  a  full-time  job  much 
longer.  I  think  I  want  more  of  a 


challenge.  If  I  had  the  opportunity 
to  manage  a  really  large  student 
union,  such  as  in  a  big  state 
school  or  to  build  one  from  the 
ground  up,  I  would  probably  jump 
at  that  sort  of  opportunity. 

"But  actively  pursue  another 
position-no." 

CAULDRON:  Some  students 
perceive  you  as  a  difficult  person 
to  get  along  with.  How  did  this 
general  reputation  develop?  How 
do  you  view  that? 

SOCHACKI:  "It's  my  own  code  I 
guess.  I  try  not  to  have  any 
hidden  agendas  and  what  I  think 
passes  for  brusqueness  is  actually 
my  attempt  to  be  as  up-front 
and  honest  as  possible. 

"If  the  obvious  answer  to  a 
query  is  'no,'  I  say  'no.'  And  that's 
why  I  appear  to  be  brusque.  I  will 
not  say  'maybe.'  And  perhaps  I 
would  have  a  lot  fewer  problems 
if  I  did  say  'maybe.' 

"Also  I  have  an  overall  view  of 
what  we  (student  activities)  do 
and  where  we  are  going.  I  think 
that  we  here,  especially  in 
student  affairs  and  student 
activities,  have  a  strange  role. 
We're  the  most  visible  of  all  the 
university  administrators  and 
ofttimes  we're  asked  to  explain 
the  hierarchy  of  the  university  to 
students  and  explain  the  students 
to  the  hierarchy  of  the  university. 
I'm  viewed  as  equally  brusque  by 
the  hierarchy  of  the  university 
because  of  that  facet  of  what 
we  do.  We  have  to  speak  for  the 
students.  I'm  not  sure  who  else 
will. 

"It  (my  reputation)  also  stems 
from  two  or  three  other  points  of 
view  and  that  is,  I  believe, 
students  have  a  legitimate  role  in 
decision  making  processes  at  a 
university.  And,  consequently,  I 
have  worked  for  this  ideal.  If  I 
rubbed  either  student  leaders  or 
administrators  the  wrong  way,  it's 
because  of  the  fact  that  they 
don't  share  this  view  of  what  an 
idealized  government  structure 
should  be  and  as  a  consequence 
we  don't  have  any  real  basis 
upon  which  to  talk." 

CAULDRON:  How  have  the 
university  and  student  activities 
changed  during  the  past  15 
years? 

SOCHACKI:  "Tremendously. 
Northeastern  probably  has 
changed  more  dramatically  than 
most  universities.  The  students' 
rights  movements  of  the  60s  and 
early  70s  really  improved  the 
university.  It  would  have  been 
unheard  of  15  years  ago  for  the 
president  of  a  university,  for 
example,  to  give  powers  to  the 
student  government  that  the 
present  president  has  given  to 
our  student  government  in  the 
past  18  months." 

CAULDRON:  Can  you 
stereotype  a  student  who  joins 
student  activities? 

SOCHACKI:  "No,  I  don't  think 
there  is  a  stereotype.  Students 
are  there  for  different  reasons. 
Ideally  they're  there  because  this 
is  the  half  of  their  education  that 
they're  missing  if  they  don't 
participate  in  student  activities. 


Because  the  university  is  not 
simply  what  you  would  get  out  of 
a  classroom. 

"I  think  the  more  important  part 
of  an  education  is  that  which  you 
receive  before,  between  and 
after  classes  in  the  interaction 
with  other  students.  And  I  would 
think  that  the  most  beneficial 
aspect  of  what  we  do  in  student 
activities,  to  further  that  half  of 
your  education,  is  provide  an 
environment  in  which  you  can 
have  the  steady  dates,  the  raps, 
these  informal  associations  that 
one  can  have  in  an  unstructured 
environment  such  as  the  student 
center. 

"And  then,  we  also  provide 
alternatives:  associations  with 
students  that  are  interested  in 
what  you're  interested  in, 
concerts,  movies,  skiing,  or 
providing  some  sort  of  volunteer 
services. 

"And  it  (student  activities)  also 
provides  a  third  facet  which  is  not 
understood  as  well,  but  is  equally 
valuable.  College  for  the  lucky 
students  provides  an  opportunity 
to  try  out  a  new  role  in  an 
environment  where  it's  not  going 
to  hurt  you  permanently.  You  can 
try  that  (role)  on  for  size." 

CAULDRON:  Because  of 
Northeastern's  size,  many  students 
may  feel  that  they're  nothing 
more  than  a  number.  How  do  you 
view  that? 

SOCHACKI:  "I  would  say  that 
they're  probably  right.  It's 
something  that  is  a  curse  of  big 
numbers.  And  when  you're 
dealing  with  3800  new  freshmen 
and  700  transfer  students  a  year, 
you  start  viewing  students  not  as 
individuals,  but  as  a  collective 
student  body. 

"And  when  you're  trying  to 
work  out  a  process  or  trying  to 
benefit,  you  think  of  how  the 
general  student  population  would 
benefit  or  be  hurt  by  a  policy. 
And  as  a  consequence,  the 
students  ofttimes  see  themselves 
as  a  cipher." 

CAULDRON:  What  advice  would 
you  offer  to  students  leaving  the 
university?  Perhaps  on  how  they 
might  succeed  and  be  happy. 

SOCHACKI:  "I  normally  don't 
give  advice.  I  provide 
alternatives. 

"Don't  jump  at  the  first  job 
opportunity  that  presents  itself  if  it 
does  not  fit  you  as  a  human 
being.  Simply  because  IBM  or 
whoever  is  going  to  pay  you 
serious  money  for  doing  a 
particular  job  that  you're  going  to 
hate,  I  think  you're  much  better 
off  toning  down  your 
requirements  to  a  more  modest 
figure  in  a  position  that  you  can 
grow  and  be  happy  with. 

"And  don't  take  yourself  too 
seriously.  Apply  yourself  in 
whatever  you  do  with  a  little  bit 
of  space  for  yourself.  "And  don't 
do  things  too  rapidly.  We  ofttimes 
make  important  decisions  too 
quickly.  We  procrastinate  and  put 
off  the  small  things.  We  don't 
spend  enough  time  considering 
these  long-term  commitments 
that  we  fall  into." 


Seasoned  veteran 
at  Boston's  Spice 


The  nameplate  on  his  office 
door  just  says,  "Chuck."  And  for 
the  past  five  years,  since  Chuck 
Tarver  has  been  advisor  to  WRBB 
FM  104.9  ("Boston's  Spice"), 
Northeastern's  student-run  radio 
station,  that  door  has  remained 
open  to  his  students. 

Because,  besides  being 
responsible  for  the  daily  activities 
of  the  radio  station.  Chuck  also 
says  he  is  responsible  for  the 
"morale  boosting"  that  goes 
hand-in-hand  with  working  with  a 
student  group. 

TARVER:  "I  do  a  lot  of  that  .  .  . 
My  major  responsibility,  of  course, 
was  to  see  that  we  came 
through  that  whole  FCC  (Federal 
Communications  Commission) — I 
like  to  call  it— fiasco.  Back  in  1978 
(the  FCC)  passed  a  docket 
which,  in  effect,  said  that  10  watt 
stations  or  small  radio  stations 
would  either  apply  to  increase  to 
a  minimum  of  100  watts  or  else 
they  had  to  make  certain 
frequency  changes  in  order  to 
make  space  for  the  larger 
stations. 

"So  we  had  to  do  a  lot  of 
scrambling  and  research  to  find 
the  frequency  that  we  moved  to. 
We  moved  from  91.7  to  104.9  in 
October.  1982  and  we 
completed  all  of  our  transmitter 
and  antenna  moves  last  May 
(1983). 

"In  addition  there's  the 
responsibility  of  seeing  that  the 
station  runs  well  on  a  day-to-day 
basis.  And  that  includes  training 
the  student  volunteers  who  come 
up  here  and  are  looking  to  gain 
some  kind  of  experience  in  radio, 
as  well  as  working  with  those 
students  who  are  elected  to 
executive  board  positions. 

CAULDRON:  How  do  you  train 
students  new  to  WRBB? 
TARVER:  "We  have  set  up  what 
we  call  'clearance  classes.'  And 
that's  kind  of  a  strange  name  I 
suppose — I  didn't  think  it  up.  But 
you  had  to  be  cleared  before 
you  were  put  on  the  air,  so 
someone  took  that  word  and 
said,  'you  have  to  have  your 
clearances.'  As  a  result: 
'clearance  classes.'  I  teach  them 
during  activities  period  on  a  very 
informal  basis.  And  we  try  to  give 
people  as  much  individual 
attention  as  possible  so  that  they 
can  understand  how  every  piece 
of  equipment  in  the  station 
operates." 

CAULDRON:  How  do  you  help 
students  develop  radio  skills  and 
radio  personalities? 
TARVER:  "Those  kinds  of  things 
we're  not  as  structured  on.  That's 
handled  pretty  much  by 
encouraging  students  to  listen  to 
everything  out  there.  We  tell 
them,  don't  just  pick  out  one 
format  that  you  like — listen  to 
everything  from  classical  to 
beautiful  music  to  all-news  talk. 

"We  also  have  an  informal 
critique.  The  program  director 
critiques  people  as  well  as  the 


students  critique  each  other. 
We've  set  up  so  it's  done  in  a 
friendly  manner  as  opposed  to  a 
cut-throat,  kind  of  hurt  feeling 
manner — which  can  happen  in 
student  organizations. 

"We're  not  like  a  WBZ  or  an 
HTT  where  we  want  the  'top'  guy 
(on  the  air).  If  you  notice,  you'll 
hear  foreign  accents  on  the  air. 
You'll  hear  strong  New  York 
accents  and  Boston  accents,  the 
whole  thing.  But  we  of  course  try 
and  help  people  to  be  cohesive, 
that's  primarily  what  we're  looking 
for-that  they  know  how  to  run  all 
the  equipment  when  they're  on 
the  air." 

CAULDRON:  Who  determines  the 
format? 

TARVER:  "That's  established  by 
the  students  who  run  the  station: 
the  executive  board.  But  the 
program  director  is  directly 
responsible  for  the  format.  And  it 
changes  to  a  small  degree 
depending  on  who's  in  office. 
They  like  to  put  in  in  a  format 
which  will  allow  for  the 
participation  of  as  many  different 
types  of  students  as  possible. 

"Right  now,  most  of  our 
students  are  black  students. 
However,  our  format,  while  it 
might  be  a  majority  of  R8<.B, 
includes  a  rock  program— which 
sometimes  doesn't  sound  like 
rock.  We  have  a  jazz 
program — which  sometimes 
doesn't  sound  like  jazz.  We  also 
have  a  public  affairs  program 
which  we  air  between  6:00  and 
7:00  (p.m.).  Most  information 
programs  tend  to  occupy  a 
Sunday  morning  time  slot  when 
everybody  is  asleep.  They  (the 
students)  decided  that  if  they're 
going  to  do  something  valuable 
for  people,  that  it  should  be  at  a 
time  when  people  would  sit  down 
and  listen  to  it.  There's  a  real 
concern  (with)  doing  something 
beyond  just  being  a  jukebox." 
CAULDRON:  What  problems  do 
you  face  in  your  dealings  with 
students? 

TARVER:  "Time  is  one.  Students, 
because  they're  primarily  here  to 
go  to  school,  have  some 
problems  with  their  time.  And 
most  students  that  I  run  across 
are  very  committed  to  what 
they're  doing.  But  they  have 
certain  time  constraints  and  they 
haven't  quite  developed  those 
time  management  skills  of 
meeting  their  commitment  to 
school  and  their  commitment  to 
organizations. 

"The  other  thing  is  that  students 
might  not  put  enough  time  into 
the  organization — which  I  think  is 
far  healthier  than  not  putting 
enough  time  into  school  work. 
And  I  would  much  prefer  to  see  a 
student  not  spend  as  much  time 
at  WRBB  and  do  well  in  school, 
than  students  spend  a  lot  of  time 
here  and  flunk  out  of  school.  And 
I've  seen  both  extremes. 

"The  other  thing  is  that  the 
students  are  at  a  very 
developmental  stage  and  you'll 


"There's  a 
real 

concern 
(with)  doing 
something 
beyond  just 
being  a 
jukebox."

TARVER 


have  some  days  when  they'll 
have  all  the  confidence  in  the 
world  and  the  next  day,  you  get 
that  'F'  on  that  term  paper  and 
you  have  absolutely  no 
confidence.  You  have  to  roll  with 
that  and  help  students 
compensate." 
CAULDRON:  What 
accomplishment  are  you  most 
pleased  about? 
TARVER:  "Can  I  have  two?" 
CAULDRON:  Of  course! 
TARVER:  Well,  I  suppose  the  single 
biggest  one  is  the  whole 
frequency  change  and  relocating 
our  antenna  and  transmitter. 
"But,  back  in  1981  we  had, 
within  a  single  year  on  the  air, 
both  Senator  Kennedy  and 
Senator  Tsongas.  And  we  were 
the  only  college  station  in  the 
area  to  have  had  that  success. 
We've  had  both  of  them  on  the 
air  live  and  I  just  think  that's  a 
great  accomplishment." 
CAULDRON:  What  would  you  like 
to  see  in  the  future  for  WRBB? 
TARVER:  "Ideally  I'd  like  to  see 
some  more  power  for  the  station 


to  increase  our  coverge  area. 
Also  we  would  like  to  get  the 
resources  together  to  begin 
broadcasting  in  stereo." 
CAULDRON:  What  advice  would 
you  offer  to  graduating  seniors? 
TARVER:  "The  advice  I  would  give 
anyone  is  to  research  whatever  it 
is  that  you  want  to  do  out  there 
and  look  at  it  thoroughly  from  top 
to  bottom. 

"Don't  be  afraid  to  go  out 
there  and  talk  with  people  on  an 
informal  basis  about  what  it  is  that 
you'd  like  to  do— which  gets 
people  out  of  the  job  interview 
situation.  And  they're  more 
relaxed  and  the  person  that's 
giving  the  information  isn't  looking 
at  them  as  a  prospective 
applicant.  Many  times  they'll  give 
them  the  info  they  need  to  make 
it  somewhere  else." 


MARK 
WOODHAMS 


New  job,  new  face, 
plans  for  change 


Mark  Woodhams  is  the  newly 
hired  full-time  print  media  advisor. 
He  advises  and  acts  as  financial 
manager  of  the  Northeastern 
News,  the  Onyx-Informer,  the 
Spectrum,  and  the  Cauldron.  In 
addition  he  also  teaches 
advertising  and  news  writing  part- 
time  for  University  College. 
CAULDRON:  What  are  your 
general  impressions  of 
Northeastern  and  the  average 
student? 

WOODHAMS:  "It's  a  large  urban 
university.  I  don't  find  it 
particularly  attractive- 
architecturally,  from  a 
landscaping  point  of  view,  or  its 
location.  But  obviously  it  serves  its 
purpose  for  the  kind  of  education 
it  provides  for  the  students.  The 


students  I  meet  seem  perfectly 
happy  and  content  here,  and 
well  aware  of  their  role  as  a 
number  and  seem  to  make  fun  of 
it  somewhat.  Students  here  all 
seem  so  old." 

CAULDRON:  What  role  do  you 
think  Student  Activities  play  in  the 
lives  of  students  here? 
WOODHAMS:  "It  seems  to  be  a 
pretty  confused  role,  largely 
because  of  the  co-op.  There  are 
some  difficulties  that  crop  up. 
With  the  News,  for  instance,  in 
terms  of  putting  out  a  consistent 
product  with  staff  changes  every 
quarter  or  two  at  most.  I  think 
that  does  present  some 
limitations,  not  just  with 
publications  but  also  in  other 
student  activities,  just  in  terms  of 


developing  your  goals  and 
consistency." 

CAULDRON:  What  advantages  do 
you  see  in  having  a  full-time  print 
media  advisor  on  the  same  floor 
as  the  publications? 
WOODHAMS:  "I  can't  really 
address  what  the  advantages 
are  over  before,  but  I  think  that 
one  of  the  important  reasons  for 
having  someone  on  this  floor  is  to 
help  provide  a  good  work 
environment  for  the  students,  to 
let  them  know  that  the 
University's  committed  to  student 
publications.  ...  to  act  as  an 
advocate  for  the  student  media.  I 
think  it's  important  that  the 
University  have  a  media 
advocate  so  the  students  don't 
always  feel  that  they're  always 
running  into  an  adversary  role 
which  would  be  particularly  true 
with  the  News. " 
CALDRON:  What  are  your  daily 
responsibilities  as  print  media 
advisor? 

WOODHAMS:  "I'd  say  working 
with  the  News  takes  up  much  of 
my  time  .  .  .  being  around  to 
make  sure  they're  running 
smoothly,  to  post  advertising 
revenue  .  .  .  we've  streamlined 
the  business  function  of  the  News. 
They  receive  quite  a  bit  of 
money  in  advertising  revenue  and 
the  billing  process  and  posting 
statements  are  all  done  through 
my  office  now." 

CAULDRON:  So  you've  taken  a  lot 
of  those  type  of  responsibilities  off 
the  hands  of  the  students  now? 
WOODHAMS:  "Well,  they  didn't 
used  to  do  all  of  that.  From  the 
business  point  of  view  I'm  taking  it 
away  from  downstairs  (152  EC). 
The  students  have  as  much 
freedom  as  they  always  had  to 
put  out  the  kind  of  publication 
they  want  with  absolutely  no 
interference  from  an  editorial 
standpoint.  The  only  real  changes 
have  come  kind  of 
organizationally  and  in  the 
business  end." 

CAULDRON:  What  do  you  like 
most  about  your  job? 
WOODHAMS:  "Well  I  think  the 
most  rewarding  aspect  is  working 
with  the  students.  It  makes  me 
feel  young  again-at  the  age  of 
32! 

"I  love  my  commute.  I  drive  in 
every  morning  60  miles  each  way 
every  day,  living  in  Thompson, 
Connecticut.  It  allows  me  time  to 
create  novels  in  my  mind,  to  listen 
to  symphonies  on  my  tape  deck, 
and  to  do  things  I  normally 
wouldn't  be  able  to  do  if  I  were 
riding  in  on  the  T." 
CAULDRON:  What  do  you  do  in 
your  leisure  time? 
WOODHAMS:  "What  leisure  time? 
No,  I  translate  Swahili  into  Latin, 
and  then  into  Greek  ...  I  enjoy 
recreational  pursuits  when  I  can.  I 


play  basketball  and  Softball  in 
season,  go  hiking,  and  sailing  in 
the  summer.  I  also  enjoy  reading.  I 
read  quite  a  bit,  both  fiction  and 
nonfiction,  usually  reading  at  least 
two  books  a  week.  I  also  like 
cooking  and  playing  with  my  little 
kids.  I  have  a  wife  and  two  kids, 
aged  two  and  a  half  and  eight 
months,  a  girl  and  a  boy.  They 
keep  me  busy.  I  relieve  my  wife  in 
the  evenings  babysitting  so  she 
can  get  out  ...  a  modern 
father." 

CAULDRON:  What  are  your  goals 
for  your  first  year  here? 
WOODHAMS:  "One  of  the  top 
priorities  has  to  be  developing  an 
in-house  production  facility: 
typesetting,  layout  and  design 
that  can  be  used  by  all  the 
publications  but  in  particular  the 
News  and  the  Onyx.  Students 
don't  have  this  capability  now, 
and  I  think  they're  missing  out  on 
an  important  part  of  the  learning 
process  -  actually  wielding  an 
exacto  knife  and  doing  the 
paste-ups.  I  think  that  once  we 
have  that  in  place,  along  with  a 
remodelled  darkroom,  that  it  will 
be  much  easier  to  move  the 
News  towards  a  twice  a  week 
publication  rather  than  once  a 
week.  It's  a  shame  that  a 
university  this  size  has  only  a 
weekly  newspaper.  There's  no 
reason  why  a  twice  a  week 
paper  isn't  an  achievable  goal,  or 
even  a  daily  down  the  road 
somewhere." 

CAULDRON:  Where  will  the 
students  come  from  to  run  a  daily 
paper? 

WOODHAMS:  "What  do  you 
mean?" 

CAULDRON:  The  existing  staff  now 
could  never  go  to  school,  hold 
down  their  part-time  jobs,  and 
put -out  a  daily  paper  at  the 
same  time. 

WOODHAMS:  "Well  the  difficulty 
here  primarily  is  the  co-op  system. 
There  are  ways  around  it  I 
suppose  .  .  .  we'll  take  it  one  step 
at  a  time.  A  more  achievable 
goal  right  now  is  a  twice  a  week 
paper.  Other  schools  put  out 
dailies  ...  It  takes  a  commitment 
on  the  part  of  the  students,  it 
definitely  takes  an  in-house 
production  capability  which  saves 
money  and  time.  But  twice  a 
week  is  achievable,  and  perhaps 
a  daily  never  will  be  because  of 
the  difficulties  in  developing  a 
year-round  staff." 

Mark  earned  his  Bachelor's 
Degree  in  American  Studies  at

York.  While  working  in  Washington 
D.C.  he  earned  a  Master's 
Degree  in  Journalism  from 
American  University.  He  came  to

editing  a  weekly  newspaper  in 
Putnam,  Connecticut. 


Keeping  "current" 
part  of  her  job 


Assistant  professor  Elizabeth 
Szymczak,  or  Betsy  as  her 
students  know  her,  has  been 
teaching  microbiology  in  the 
Medical  Laboratory  Science 
Department  of  the  College  of 
Pharmacy  and  Allied  Health 
professions  for  more  than  four 
years.  She  is  also  the  class  advisor 
to  the  Class  of  1984  Medical 
Technology  majors. 
CAULDRON:  What  did  you  do 
before  becoming  Professor 
Szymczak? 

SZYMCZAK:  "I  graduated  from 
University  of  Rhode  Island  in  1970 
with  a  bachelor's  degree  in 
zoology  and  a  minor  in  chemistry. 
The  interesting  thing  about  that 
was  that  while  I  was  an 
undergraduate  I  had  many 
courses  in  common  with  medical 
technology  students.  .  .  At  that 
time  I  thought  'Well,  it  must  be 
nice  to  be  a  medical 
technologist,  but  it  seems  like 
that's  an  awfully  limiting  thing  to 
do',  then  I  got  out  into  the  real 
world  and  the  job  market. 

"After  college  I  got  married 
and  moved  to  Pittsburgh  where 
my  husband  went  to  graduate 
school.  We  came  to  Boston 
where  he  got  a  job  at  Brandeis 
University.  I  also  got  a  job  at 
Brandeis  in  the  Biology 
department  as  a  research 
assistant,  where  I  spent  two  years 
of  my  life  isolating  an  enzyme.  I 
thought  'This  is  not  for  me!  I  really 
ought  to  look  into  some  career 
development.' 

"That's  when  I  looked  at  medical 
technology.  I  did  essentially  what 
was  called  a  four-plus-one 
program.  You  go  to  a  hospital 
school  with  a  bachelor's  degree 
already  and  train  there  for  a 
year.  I  trained  at  the  Cambridge 
Hospital  School  of  Medical 
Technology.  At  that  time  I  found 
there  was  sort  of  a  lack.  .  .  I 
wasn't  getting  enough.  .  .  That's 
when  I  came  to  Northeastern  as 
a  graduate  student,  not  so  much 
to  get  a  degree,  but  to  get 
more  knowledge.  I  had  no 
intention  of  getting  a  Master's 
until  two  years  later  when  I 
realized  I  was  halfway  there. 

"I  had  a  number  of  jobs  during 
that  time.  .  .  .  and  then  I  got  a 
job  in  the  Bacteriology  lab  at 
Children's  Hospital.  At  that  time 
Children's  was  going  through  a 
very  big  change  -  a  new  lab 
director  had  been  there  just  three 
months  and  was  making  lots  of 
changes  and  hiring  new  people, 
so  I  sort  of  got  in  on  the  ground 
floor  of  a  very  rapidly  progressing 
lab.  .  .  so  I  really  had  a 
phenomenal  career  escalation 
which  most  people  don't  have, 
but  it  was  because  of  being  in 
the  right  place  at  the  right  time, 
and  having  the  right  attitude  and 
credentials  I  guess.  I  was  at 
Children's  for  about  three  years. 

"In  the  winter  of  '79.  Judy  Barr 
at  Northeastern  called  me  up 


and  said  'Gee,  we  have  this 
Microbiology  course  we  teach 
during  the  day  that  we'd  like  to 
teach  at  night  -  how  would  you 
like  to  do  it?'  I  said  'Oh-  why 
not?'  This  is  one  of  those  things 
'sure  -  why  not?',  never  having 
done  anything  like  that  before? 
My  whole  teaching  experience 
had  been  a  one-on-one  kind  of 
thing  -  you  know,  teaching  ID 
fellows,  teaching  co-ops,  I  really 
did  enjoy  it  but  I  had  never  been 
officially  in  a  classroom  so  I  said 
'sure-why  not?'  and  that  was 
really  scary.  .  .  that  was  my  first 
official  teaching  experience  in  the 
classroom,  and  I  just  loved  it.  It 
was  really  excellent.  I  never 
worked  so  hard  in  my  life, 
because  I  had  a  full-time  job 
during  the  day  and  coming  here 
two  nights  a  week  from  six  to 
ten.  It  was  a  real  challenge  and  I 
loved  it. 

"By  that  time  I'd  left  Children's 
and  was  doing  continuing 
education  programs  for  the  State 
Lab.  Then  all  of  a  sudden  I  got  a 
call  from  Judy  Barr  saying  'Gee, 
there's  this  position  open  for  a 
Clinical  Microbiology  professor  at 
Northeastern,  Why  don't  you 
apply?'  And  again,  I  was  very 
lucky.  They  had  had  a  difficult 
time  trying  to  find  a  person  who 
had  the  clinical  microbiology 
experience  I'd  had  along  with 
someone  who  had  the 
appropriate  degree  credentials.  I 
was  fine  on  the  clinical  end  of  it 
but  I  didn't  have  the  PhD  ...  but 
they  decided  to  give  me  a  shot 
anyways. 

"I  still  maintain  my  parttime 
position  at  Children's.  .  .  I  think 
that's  very  important  because  I 
really  feel  that  if  I  teach 
something  in  this  particular  area  I 
should  be  able  to  do  it.  I  believe 
in  being  able  to  practice  what 
you  preach." 

CAULDRON:  What  has  been  your 
biggest  challenge  as  a  professor 
at  Northeastern? 
SZYMCZAK:  "Just  understanding 
how  the  system  works, 
understanding  the  bureaucracy.  It 
took  me  two  years  to  figure  out 
the  curriculum.  I  think  we  have  an 
excellent  curriculum,  but  just  to 
figure  out  what  comes  next  and 
who  does  what  when.  .  .  having 
come  from  a  background  where 
there  was  no  co-op.  no  quarter 
system.  .  .  Well,  you  must  admit 
there  are  lots  of  ins  and  outs  in 
figuring  out  how  it  works.  Advising 
students  I  think  is  the  very  biggest 
challenge.  .  .  just  to  know  how  to 
fit  a  student  in  that  doesn't  quite 
fit  the  mold." 
CAULDRON:  What  other 
Northeastern  -  related  activities 
are  you  involved  in? 
SZYMCZAK:  "I  am  involved  with 
the  Med  Tech  Student 
Organization  and  I'm  on  this 
college's  scholarships  and  awards 
committee,  and  on  the  college's 
recruitment  task  force." 


"I  believe  in 
being  able 
to  practice 
what  you 
preach. " 


ELIZABETH 
SZYMCZAK 


CAULDRON:  What  do  you  like  to 
do  in  your  leisure  time? 
SZYMCZAK:  "I  have  a  19  month 
old  daughter,  and  another  baby 
due  next  week  (Ed  note:  she  had 
a  baby  boy  on  December  4, 
1983).  We  also  own  two  old 
houses  that  we  like  to  work  on. 
All  of  that  keeps  me  pretty  busy." 
CAULDRON:  Where  do  you  see 
yourself  five  years  from  now? 
SZYMCZAK:  "Well,  that's  a  real 
good  question.  I'd  have  to  say 
that  I'm  not  really  sure.  It  would 
be  nice  if  I  were  sitting  at  this 
desk  five  years  from  now.  .  .  but 
the  realities  of  the  fact  that 
Northeastern  is  a  private 
institution,  that  the  fiscal  problems 
of  a  university  this  big  rely  very 
much  on  enrollment  and  tuition 
money  indicate.  .  .  that  there's 
probably  going  to  be  cutbacks  in 
faculty. 

"For  those  reasons  I  might  not 
be  here,  but  I  really  hope  that  I'm 
involved  in  education.  .  .  It  might 
not  be  in  an  academic  institution 
like  this,  it  may  be  in  a  hospital 
school,  it  could  be  a  junior 


college.  I  could  even  picture 
myself  working  in  the  education 
division  of  a  company,  working  in 
technical  education.  I  really  think 
that  it  will  be  in  Medical 
Technology  education  but  the 
format  I'm  not  quite  sure." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  have  any 
words  of  advice  for  the  class  of 
84? 

SZYMCZAK:  "Most  of  the  people  I 
know  in  the  class  of  84  are  in  the 
medical  technology  program.  .  ,  I 
think  that  one  of  the  important 
features  of  our  program  is  that 
you  are  a  health  care  profession, 
and  although  this  may  sound  like 
a  cliche  I  think  that  it's  important 
to  remember  that  at  the  end  of 
what  you're  doing  it's  going  to  be 
helping  someone.  I  also  think  that 
it's  important  to  realize  too  that 
career  changes  are  an  inevitable 
kind  of  thing.  Your  education  that 
you've  gotten  here  will  benefit 
you  in  almost  any  endeavor  you 
undertake."

happened 
because  I 

was  there." 


JOHN 
ZOTOS 


Teaches  more  than 
engineering  courses 


Associate  Professor  John  Zotos 
has  been  at  Northeastern  for  24 
years  in  the  College  of 
Engineering.  He  received  his 
Bachelor  of  Science  degree  from 
Northeastern  in  Chemical 
Engineering  and  went  to 
graduate  school  at  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology  where  he 
earned  his  Master's  degree. 
CAULDRON:  Could  you  tell  us  a 
little  about  your  background? 
ZOTOS:  "Well,  it  was  because  of 
my  co-op  that  I  was.  in  a  sense, 
intrigued  and  introduced  to 
metallurgy  (the  study  of  metals  - 
making  and  compounding  alloys) 
and  material  science.  My  boss  at 
Raytheon  introduced  me  to  the 
faculty  at  MIT  in  the  metallurgy 


department  during  my  co-op 
experience.  It  was  the  people  at 
MIT  who  first  said  "Why  don't  you 
come  here  for  graduate  school?' 
My  first  inclination  was  'Are  you 
crazy?  I  want  to  go  out  and 
make  money!' 

"But  I  applied  and  got  into  MIT's 
grad  school  on  my  first  try.  .  .  it 
also  taught  me  that  Northeastern 
had  a  lot  to  offer  and  schools  like 
MIT  have  a  high  regard  for  our 
graduates.  I  got  my  Master's 
degree  in  metallurgy.  I  came  to 
Northeastern  fulltime  in 
September  of  1960  where  I  was 
assistant  professor  of  mechanical 
engineering. 

"In  September  1963  I  received 
a  National  Science  Foundation 


Science  Faculty  Grant  which 
allowed  me  18  months  back  at 
MIT  to  pursue  another  degree. 
That  matched  my  salary  plus  my 
consulting  income,  all  tax-free,  to 
go  back  to  school.  .  .  God  Bless 
America! 

"You  know,  things  happen  in 
threes.  .  .  I'm  a  spiritual  person, 
and  I  believe  in  the  Father,  Son, 
and  Holy  Ghost,  and  they're 
together  the  three.  .  .  so  the  first 
was  winning  the  National  Science 
Foundation  Grant,  the  second 
was  the  fact  that  I  appeared  on 
the  cover  of  Iron  Age  September 
5,  1963  (this  magazine  appeared 
all  over  the  world).  The  third  thing 
that  happened  was  that  I  was 
informed  by  the  American 
Foundries  Society  (which  is  a 
technical  society  in  the  metallurgy 
field)  that  I  had  been  selected  as 
the  1964  International  Exchange 
Speaker  for  the  United  States.  .  .  I 
had  been  selected  as  the  author 
and  the  person  to  present  the 
paper  at  the  International 
Foundries  Congress  in 
Amsterdam,  the  Netherlands,  in 
September  of  1964. 

"I  was  very  active 
extracurricularly  as  an 
undergraduate  student.  .  .  I  got 
involved  really  by  accident.  I 
walked  into  class  late  one  day 
and  someone  said  'I  nominate 
Zotos'  and  someone  else  said  'I 
second  the  nomination'  and 
someone  else  said  1  close 
nominations'.  What  could  I  do?  I 
was  the  last  one  to  class  that 
day  and  they  elected  me  to  be 
the  class  representative  to  the 
student  cabinet.  So  suddenly  I 
become  a  politician  —  without 
even  choosing!  So  I  went  into  this 
thing  and  I  liked  it,  and  I  had  a 
good  time.  This  way,  as  an 
engineering  student  I  knew 
people  in  Arts  and  Sciences  and 
all  the  other  disciplines.  When  I 
went  to  all  these  affairs  and 
everything,  I  knew  everybody.  So 
when  I  came  back  to 
Northeastern  in  1960  as  a  faculty 
member,  I  was  a  well-known 
person. 

"Because  of  being  active  as  an 
undergraduate  I  also  try  to 
participate  in  extracurricular 
activities.  Consequently  I'm  the 
faculty  advisor  to  Tau  Beta  Pi,  I'm 
the  faculty  advisor  to  the 
Engineer's  Council,  and  I  try  to  be 
in  a  position  to  really  help  our 
young  people.  I'm  also  faculty 
advisor  to  one  of  our  Orthodox 
Christian  groups  on  campus.  I  feel 
that  it's  important  that  we  be 
here,  that  we  in  turn  be  good 
examples  for  our  students.  .  .  and 
to  show  them  that  it's  not  only 
their  financial  success  that  we're 
striving  for,  but  more  important, 
it's  their  spiritual  success.  I  think 
we  have  to  show  them  that  you 
need  to  be  a  whole  person  — 
you  have  to  have  good  ethics, 
you  have  to  know  who  you  are, 
where  you're  going,  how  to  get 
there.  .  .  was  it  St.  Thomas 
Aquinas  who  said  'Who  am  I? 
Where  am  I  going?  How  do  I  get 
there?  If  I  were  to  die  what  have 
I  done?'  How  many  ask  those 
questions?  Well  I  shoot  it  out  to 
my  students  every  so  often. 
Sometimes  they  come  back  years 
later  and  say  "Hey  Professor 
Zotos,  it  wasn't  all  the  material 


science  and  metallurgy  we 
learned,  but  it  was  that  talk  that 
shook  us  up!'" 

CAULDRON:  According  to  some  of 
your  former  students,  something 
exists  called  "The  Zotos 
Philosophy".  Could  you  describe 
it? 

ZOTOS:  "There  are  two  things 
that  I  really  developed  for  them. 
One  is  a  curve  that  shows  what 
happens  to  the  amount  of 
knowledge  that's  been 
generated  over  a  period  of 
years.  .  .  you  discover  over  time 
that  the  curve  increases, 
becoming  an  exponential.  .  .  this 
means  we  see  so  much 
knowledge  in  print  it's  almost 
impossible  to  keep  up  with  things 
.  .  .  we're  really  expecting  more 
from  our  students  because  there 
is  so  much  more  to  learn. 

"Then  there's  the  other  curve. 
The  individual  starts  at  ground 
zero  when  he  first  comes  to 
college,  and  he  starts  to  grow. 
While  he  or  she  is  in  college  they 
grow  quickly,  and  now  they 
reach  a  point  where  they  have 
free  choices.  They  either  stay 
level  on  the  plateau,  or  they  go 
higher,  or  they  die.  Suppose  you 
get  a  B.S.  degree.  .  .  then  for  the 
next  ten  years  you  do  nothing. 
What's  going  to  happen?  You 
may  stay  on  the  level,  but  the 
ground  is  coming  closer  to  you, 
isn't  it?  Because  there's  more 
down  there  in  the  body  of 
knowledge.  Consequently  you're 
almost  back  to  ground  zero  after 
ten  or  fifteen  years.  Whoever 
gets  a  degree  and  does  nothing 
with  it  dies. 

"So  what  I'm  saying  is:  When 
you  get  the  degree,  you  have 
the  obligation  to  do  more  with  it, 
so  you've  got  to  get  oft  your  duff 
and  do  it.  That's  what  I  tell  them. 
Maybe  that's  what  they  mean  by 
the  Zotos  Philosophy." 
CALDRON:  What  has  been  your 
biggest  challenge  as  a  professor 
here  at  NU? 

ZOTOS:  "Perhaps  helping  the 
lower  students  to  come  up  in 
rank  and  survive.  That's  been  the 
biggest  challenge." 
CAULDRON:  And  what  has  been 
your  most  pleasurable  experience 
as  an  NU  professor? 
ZOTOS:  "Being  faculty  advisor  to 
Tau  Beta  Pi.  .  .  they're  my  boys.  . 
.  these  students  are  the  cream  of 
the  crop,  our  future  leaders.  .  .  " 
CAULDRON:  What  advice  do  you 
have  for  members  of  the  Class  of 
1984? 

ZOTOS:  "Well.  .  .  be  proud  of 
Northeastern,  and  show  what  a 
good  education  you're  received 
by  applying  your  knowledge  to 
solving  the  problems  of  your 
surroundings.  Be  aware  of  the 
sacred  responsibility  you  have  as 
college-educated  young  people 
to  do  something  good  in  your 
lifetime.  .  .  so  that  you  can  reflect 
back  five,  ten,  fifteen  years  from 
now  and  say  'Hey,  something 
happened  because  I  was  there.' 
How  many  can  say  that? 

"Some  students  may  have  had 
bad  experiences  here.  .  .  but  all 
in  all  Northeastern  is  what  you 
make  it.  Sure,  you're  going  to 
have  good  teachers  and  bad 
teachers,  but  if  you  can  put  it  all 
together,  you  can  succeed." 


Her  ad,  PR  classes: 
courses  in  reality 


Professor  Jane  Bick  is  a 
journalist.  So  it's  not  surprising  that 
she  says  her  first  love  is  radio  and 
print  news.  Or  that  she  spent 
seven  years  as  a  news  reporter  in 
the  southeast. 

But  figure  this:  before  she 
moved  to  Massachusetts  about 
seven  years  ago,  Bick  was 
working  in  advertising.  And  now, 
she's  teaching  all  of  the 
advertising  and  public  relations 
courses  that  are  offered  through 
the  journalism  department. 

Why  does  a  reporter  shift  from 
news  to  advertising?  Basically  Bick 
said,  opportunity  and  money. 
BICK:  "I  went  to  the  University  of 
Georgia  for  my  undergraduate 
and  Master's.  And  Georgia  and 
Missouri,  at  that  time,  were  the 
places  you  went  for  journalism. 
And  Columbia.  There  was 
advertising  and  PR  (public 
relations).  And  I  remember 
thinking:  'That's  the  ultimate  sell- 
out. How  can  anybody  major  in 
journalism  and  be  in  advertising 
and  PR?  Good  grief!  That's  not 
journalism.'  Well  lo  and  behold! 
Here  I  am!" 

CAULDRON:  What  led  you  to 
Northeastern? 

BICK:  "Money.  I  was  in  grad 
school  and  they  offered  me 
enough  to  live  on." 
CAULDRON:  Where  were  you  in 
grad  school? 

BICK:  "At  UMass-Amherst.  I  was 
studying  mass  communications.  I 
was  working  on  my  doctorate.  .  . 
A  friend  told  me  (about 
Northeastern).  I  wasn't  really 
looking  when  I  came  here.  I  still 
had  one  more  year  to  go  and  I 
probably  would  have  been 
finished  by  now  had  I  stayed.  .  .  I 
also  was  teaching  rhetoric  and 
speech  courses  (there)." 
CAULDRON:  You  inject  a  lot  of 
realism  into  your  classes  by  having 
students  create  advertising  and 
PR  campaigns  for  real  clients, 
such  as  the  Red  Cross.  How  did 
you  develop  these  programs? 
BICK:  "That  came  through  the 
faculty  senate.  Sam  Bernstein, 
head  of  the  English  Department, 
was  head  of  the  faculty  senate 
that  year  (1982)  and  the  Red 
Cross  had  approached  the 
faculty  senate  about  getting 
more  campus  participation 
(during  blood  drives)  and  he  said, 
'Oh  you  teach  public  relations, 
maybe  you  can  help  us  out.'  I 
said,  'I  don't  think  I  can  do  it  as 
well  as  my  students  can  do  it.' 

"It  worked  out  so  well  that  I 
had  a  little  talk  with  myself  and 
said,  'Self,  why  don't  we  do  more 
of  this  with  the  students?'  So  I 
wrote  up  a  press  release  and  just 
before  Christmas,  I  mailed  it  out 
to  key  community 


newspapers — the  ones  I  knew 
would  have  a  lot  of  white  space 
to  fill.  And  they  printed  it.  The 
calls  flooded,  when  I  came  back 
in  January  I  had  a  stack  of 
messages. 

"Other  schools  do  it.  BU  has 
what  they  call  an  ad  lab,  where 
they  do  specific  projects.  For 
example  they'll  do  a  brochure. 
We  were  doing  more  than  that, 
we  were  doing  total  campaigns 
from  research  to  evaluation  of 
which  a  brochure  would  be  just  a 
small  part. 

"That's  the  kind  of  thing  I  like  to 
do.  I  like  to  bring  professionals  into 
the  classroom  and  I  try  not  to  let 
them  use  us  to  accomplish  their 
work.  But  on  the  other  hand,  if 
the  students  can  put  something  in 
his  or  her  portfolio  that  has  been 
published  or  been  on  the  air,  then 
that  is  so  much  more  credibility 
for  the  student  once  he  or  she  is 
out  on  the  street." 
CAULDRON:  What  are  the 
toughest  things  you  have  to  deal 
with  in  your  student-teacher 
relationships? 

BICK:  "Business  majors.  I  say  it  in 
class.  I've  had  to  start  giving  bi- 
weekly quizzes  in  deference  to 
students  in  other  majors  who 
have  a  lot  of  trouble  coping  with 
rigid,  tough  journalism  standards 
that  we've  set  up.  But  if  we've 
got  students  working  in  highly 
professional  situations  then  we 
have  to  teach  very  quickly  things 
like  honoring  deadlines  and  clean 
copy. 

"We  don't  give  incompletes 
and  they're  not  sure  they  hear 
me  right  on  the  first  day  when  I 
say  all  our  rules  and  regulations. 
It's  kind  of  a  culture  shock 
because  journalism  is  a  different 
sort  of  a  world  from  other  majors. 

"The  message  we're  trying  to 
give  is  'we  respect  what  we  do 
and  we  expect  you  to  respect 
what  we  do.'  And  it  works.  I've 
found  that  the  more  I  demand 
from  students  the  more  I  get." 
CAULDRON:  What  do  you  find 
most  rewarding  about  student- 
teacher  relationships? 
BICK:  "I  learn  a  lot  from  students. 
Teaching  forces  me  to  keep 
abreast  of  more  than  if  I  were  in 
a  copywriting  job  or  in  an  agency 
selling.  The  teaching  forces  me  to 
keep  in  touch  with  everything 
from  media  to  copy  to  research 
to  sales.  .  .  philosophy, 
management  skills. 

"And  I  like  to  think  that  I'm 
sending  professionals  out  into  the 
world,  with  a  sense  of  ethics,  a 
sense  of  responsibility,  and  an 
understanding  of  how  what 
they're  doing  affects  society  at 
large.  That's  ideal." 
CAULDRON:  How  do  you  relax? 


BICK:  "I  watch  junk  television.  I 
love  junk,  soap  operas, 
Hardcastle  and  McCormack,  Walt 
Disney  movies.  And  I  love  General 
Hospital.  I  try  to  watch  that 
whenever  I  can. 

"I  read  history.  A  well  written 
history  book  reads  like  a  novel." 
CAULDRON:  If  you  had  a  chance 
to  sit  down  with  your  prize 
students  just  before  they 
graduate,  what  would  you  say  to 
them? 

BICK:  "Take  risks.  Be  willing  to 
take  risks.  When  I  left  Atlanta,  I 
was  a  sheltered  child  of  the  south 
and  girls  are  raised  in  the  south 
very  differently  than  boys  are. 
Manners  are  very  important.  For 
example.  Professor  Gilleland  is  my 
boss:  In  the  south  I  would  say: 
'Yes  sir,  no  sir.'  Here  I  just  say: 
'Yup,  nope.'  It's  just  a  different 
way  of  living.  It  was  a  risk  when 
we  came  up  here.  And  we  said, 
'Let's  make  a  change,  it's  time  to 
get  away  from  the  roots  and  the 


tradition  and  see  how  the  other 
half  lives.' 

"And  live  in  another  culture, 
whether  it's  moving  from  New 
England  to  Dallas,  Texas  or 
moving  to  Paris,  France  or  to 
South  America.  .  .  look  at  how 
other  people  live,  see  life  from 
someone  else's  point  of  view. 

"And  make  contacts.  Know 
people.  Keep  in  touch  with 
friends.  The  thing  that  really  bugs 
me  about  students  is  you 
become  friends  with  a  student 
and  you  nurture  them  through 
college,  get  them  out  of  here, 
give  them  a  swift  kick  in  the  butt 
and  then  you  never  hear  from 
them  again.  .  .  even  if  it's  just  a 
Christmas  card  once  a  year,  it's 
nice  to  know  where  they  are  and 
what  they're  doing  and  that 
they're  doing  what  I  taught  them 
to  do  and  they're  doing  it  right."

SUSAN 
MARCHESSAULT 


Her  students  don't 
feel  like  numbers 


Professor  Susan  Marchessault  is 
an  Associate  Professor  in  the 
College  of  Nursing.  She  is  popular 
with  the  students  she  teaches, 
most  well-known  for  the  individual 
attention  she  gives  to  each  of 
her  students. 

CAULDRON:  Could  you  give  us  a 
brief  personal  history? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "I  graduated 
from  UVM  and  then  got  my 
Master's  at  BU.  .  .  I've  had  a 
number  of  years  of  clinical 
experience  in  hospitals  and  I've 
taught  in  a  wide  variety  of 


nursing  programs,  and  then  I 
came  here  in  1968." 
CAULDRON:  How  do  your  past 
teaching  experiences  compare 
with  teaching  here  at  NU? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "Well.  I  haven't 
taught  other  collegiate  programs, 
I've  taught  in  diploma  programs. 
But  I  find  it  delightful.  I  like 
teaching  the  older  student.  .  .  I 
like  the  students  at  Northeastern 
because  they  are  mature,  they 
are  realistic,  most  of  them  are 
working  very  hard  for  their 
educations  and  therefore  they  will 


question,  they're  assertive.  .  .  it's 
a  benefit  that  they're  not 
assigned  to  only  one  hospital.  I 
think  it  makes  them  see  the 
whole  much  more  realistically 
than  at  one  agency. 

"Most  of  the  students  I  teach 
have  had  the  equivalent  of  four 
co-ops.  .  .  I  find  it  a  big 
advantage.  .  .  they  come  to 
learn  new  things  and  not  basic 
skills.  .  .  they're  very  comfortable 
in  the  clinical  setting.  .  .  they 
know  what  they're  here  for. 

"Most  of  them  find  it  very 
stimulating  and  exciting  that  they 
go  to  so  many  agencies.  .  .  some 
state  that's  why  they  come  here, 
because  they  know  that  they  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  practice 
in  a  number  of  different  major 
hospitals." 

CAULDRON:  How  does  the  clinical 
component  of  the  nurses' 
education  affect  the  duties  of  a 
nursing  professor? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "Most  of  the  full- 
time  faculty  that  teach  the 
clinical  nursing  courses  also  teach 
the  clinical  component  of  the 
course.  .  .  which  I  believe  is  very 
different  from  any  other  college 
on  campus.  .  .  in  the  other 
colleges  where  there  is  a  clinical 
component  off  campus,  there  are 
what  they  call  'preceptors'.  .  .  in 
the  College  of  Nursing,  legally  we 
are  not  allowed  to  do  that.  So 
the  nursing  faculty  themselves 
provide  the  direct  clinical 
instruction,  which  has  its 
advantages  because  you  can  tie 
the  clinical  teaching  to  the 
classroom  teaching. 

"I  teach  maternal/child  nursing, 
consequently  our  clinical 
experiences  to  go  along  with  the 
classroom  instruction  are  on  the 
maternity  and  pediatric  floors.  .  .  I 
see  about  one-third  of  my 
students  on  clinical." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  students 
at  Northeastern  tend  to  feel  like 
numbers? 

MARCHESSAULT:  "I  don't  think  that 
they  feel  that  way  as  much  in  the 
College  of  Nursing,  because  they 
consistently  relate  to  the  same 
group  of  classmates,  and  they 
are  broken  into  clinical  groups 
with  a  seven  to  one  ratio  of 
faculty  to  students.  I  think  they 
get  to  feel  like  part  of  a  small 
group.  I  also  think  that,  because 
the  College  of  Nursing  is  basically 
housed  in  one  building,  they  have 
a  feeling  that  they  do  belong 
somewhere.  So  I  don't  think  it's 
quite  the  same  as  some  of  the 
larger  programs  .  .  . 

"But  I  do  think  that  learning 
students'  names  is  very  important. 
Otherwise  they  probably  do  feel 
like  numbers.  .  .  This  can  be  very 
difficult  in  large  classes  without 
having  them  in  small  groups." 
CAULDRON:  What  other 
professional  or  student  activities 
have  you  been  involved  in? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "I  have  in  the 
past  been  involved  with  primarily 
senior  activities,  helping  the 
students  with  the  College  of 


Nursing  pre-graduation  ceremony. 
.  .  when  the  students  receive 
their  pins.  This  takes  place  the 
day  before  graduation. 

"Other  than  that  I've  not  been 
involved  in  student  activities  per 
se.  I  have  been  actively  involved 
in  the  college  activities,  including 
various  college  committees. 

"Professionally,  I've  been 
involved  in  my  own  professional 
organizations,  and  for  publishers 
I've  been  critiquing  manuscripts." 
CAULDRON:  What  do  you  enjoy 
doing  in  your  spare  time? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "I  like  outdoor 
activities  particularly.  In  the 
summer  I  like  to  play  golf,  in  the 
winter  I  like  to  ski  (downhill 
skiing)." 

CAULDRON:  What  advice  would 
you  like  to  give  to  the  class  of 
1984? 

MARCHESSAULT:  "All  I  can  think  of 
are  the  old  cliches,  you  know, 
like  'education  never  does  end'.  . 
.  I  would  also  encourage  the 
seniors  to  prepare  themselves  as 
much  as  possible  during  their 
twenties  so  that  it  allows  them  a 
variety  of  options  for  their  adult 
years.  .  .  because  with  a  long  life 
span,  I  think  that  young  people 
nowadays  should  realize  that  they 
may  want  to  do  a  variety  of 
things.  .  .  I  think  the  twenties  is 
the  time  to  lay  all  the 
foundations,  to  prepare  yourself 
for  more  than  one  option. 

"I  guess  the  other  thing  I  would 
say  is  'Believe  in  yourself.  .  .  If  my 
sons  have  heard  once  they've 
heard  a  hundred  times  'you  can 
do  it  if  you  want  to  but  you've 
got  to  want  to  do  it  badly 
enough.'" 

CAULDRON:  Where  do  you  see 
yourself  five  years  from  now? 
MARCHESSAULT:  "I  like  the 
Northeastern  nursing  program 
very  much.  I  really  enjoy  the 
students.  .  .  they're  hardworking, 
here  to  get  an  education,  paying 
for  at  least  part  of  it  themselves.  . 
.  therefore,  if  I  were  to  stay  in 
nursing  education  I  would  stay 
right  here. 

"I  would  like  to  get  more 
involved  in  writing  and  research, 
but  at  present  I  don't  see  myself 
going  elsewhere." 


Classroom  on  the  air  waves: 
Network  Northeastern  University 


Northeastern  University  is  entering  the  High 
Technology  Age  with  an  innovative  new 
service  called  "Network  Northeastern 
University"  (NNU).  The  program,  which  has 
been  in  operation  since  September  of  1983.  is 
now  offering  courses  in  graduate  engineering, 
undergraduate  engineering  technology,  and 
technical  writing.  Future  course  offerings  will 
include  state  of  the  art  engineering  topics, 
management,  mathematics,  and  computer 
science. 

The  classes  are  taught  from  the  newly 
constructed  studio  classrooms  in  107  and  109 
Robinson  Hall.  Using  the  Instructional  Television 
Fixed  Service  (ITFS),  the  programming  is 
transmitted  by  microwave  to  a  tower  on  top 
of  the  Prudential  Center.  This  tower  then 
beams  the  signal  over  to  various  locations 
within  a  thirty-mile  radius  of  Northeastern's 
Boston  campus.  Each  site  has  a  microwave 
dish  to  pick  up  the  signals. 

Students  at  the  various  remote  sites  can 
participate  as  fully  in  the  class  as  if  they  were 
sitting  in  the  same  room  as  the  instructor.  The 
live  instruction  is  viewed  on  color  monitors  at 
the  students'  worksite.  Feedback  to  the 
instuctor  is  possible  through  a  telephone 
hookup  that  goes  back  to  the  classrooms  in 
Robinson  Hall.  A  courier  service  is  also 
available  for  giving  out  assignments,  collecting 
assignments,  returning  graded  work,  and 
serving  as  a  link  for  off-campus  students  in 
their  dealings  with  the  bookstore,  the  registrar, 
and  other  campus  services.  Final  exams  and 
midterms  must  be  taken  at  the  Boston, 
Burlington,  or  Dedham  campuses  as 
scheduled. 

The  advantages  of  this  approach  to 
education  are  many.  Each  class  is  at  the 
place  where  you  work,  so  you  don't  have  to 
fight  the  traffic  on  the  Southeast  Expressway, 
go  through  the  hassle  of  finding  a  place  to 
park,  or  waste  an  hour  going  from  work  to 


school.  The  courses  are  taught  by  regular 
Northeastern  University  faculty  members. 
Finally,  if  you  are  out  sick  for  a  day,  you  can 
view  a  tape  of  the  missed  lecture. 

There  are  four  ways  to  take  courses  through 
NNU.  For  graduate  courses,  you  can 
participate  as  a  regular  degree  candidate 
($225  per  quarter  hour),  as  a  special  student 
for  regular  credit  ($900  per  4  quarter  hour 
course),  as  an  audit  basis  ($25  per  quarter 
hour),  or  for  continuing  education  credits 
towards  a  certificate  ($150  per  quarter  hour), 
Lincoln  College  undergraduate  courses  are 
also  available  for  academic  credit  ($495  per 
course)  or  for  audit  ($100  per  course). 

Many  companies  offer  NNU  to  their 
employees  to  increase  their  expertise  and 
engineering  skills.  By  doing  this  type  of 
continuing  education  program,  the  firm  not 
only  helps  their  employees,  but  they  also  help 
themselves  by  giving  their  employees  training 
in  skills  that  are  in  great  demand.  Some  of  the 
participating  companies  for  NNU  are:  Analog 
Devices,  Inc.;  Bolt,  Beranek  and  Newman; 
Compugraphic;  Digital  Equipment  Corporation; 
GTE;  Honeywell;  LTX;  Polaroid;  and  Sanders 
Associates. 

If  a  company  wants  to  join  the  network,  the 
first  step  is  to  contact  the  NNU  offices.  A 
signal  feasibility  test  is  conducted  to  find  out  if 
the  company  can  pick  up  the  signal  without 
being  affected  by  nearby  interference.  If  the 
test  shows  that  the  location  is  good,  then  a 
contract  is  signed  and  the  receiving 
equipment  is  installed.  Finally,  the  signal  is 
distributed  internally  to  a  color  monitor.  The 
company  is  obliged  to  supply  a  color  monitor, 
classroom  facilities,  and  a  company  liason.  NU 
then  provides  a  courier  service,  administrative 
and  secretarial  support,  maintenance  of  the 
ITFS  network,  and  the  various  courses. 

If  someone  wants  to  register  for  a  course, 
they  contact  the  company  liason.  If  the 


student  is  already  in  an  NU  program,  they 
register  as  usual  and  identify  themselves  as  an 
NNU  student.  If  they  are  a  new  student,  they 
must  complete  an  application  form,  submit 
graduate/undergraduate  transcripts,  enclose 
a  reference  letter,  and  submit  a  $25 
application  fee. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  16  graduate 
electrical  and  computer  engineering  courses 
including:  digital  communications;  digital  signal 
processing;  digital  computer  architecture;  and 
linear  systems  analysis.  Eight  graduate 
mechanical  engineering  courses  are  offered 
including;  advanced  thermodynamics;  the 
finite  element  method;  and  vibration  theory 
and  applications.  Among  the  seven  graduate 
industrial  engineering  and  information  systems 
courses  are:  basic  operations  research; 
management  information  systems;  systems 
engineering  analysis;  and  analysis  with 
simulation.  Finally,  there  is  a  graduate  level 
course  in  technical  writing  for  professionals. 

Lincoln  College  is  the  first  school  in  the  New 
England  region  to  feature  live,  on-site, 
interactive,  undergraduate  engineering 
technology  courses  through  NNU.  Course 
offerings  include:  Cobol;  Calculus  I;  Circuit 
Analysis  I;  Modern  Programming  Techniques: 
and  Computer  Programming  for  Engineering 
technology.  Each  of  the  Lincoln  College 
courses  meet  two  evenings  a  week  from  6:10 
to  7:50  p.m.,  or  8:05  to  9:45  p.m.,  Monday 
through  Thursday.  Laboratory  courses  can  not 
be  offered  through  the  network  at  this  time. 

Future  plans  for  NNU  include:  the  expansion 
of  mechanical  engineering  and  industrial 
engineering  /  information  system  courses;  the 
introduction  of  computer  science,  state  of  the 
art  engineering,  and  management  courses; 
and  the  expansion  of  engineering  technology 
undergraduate  programs. 


Clinical  study:  alternative  classrooms 


For  some  students,  being  in  school  does  not 
always  mean  classes  in  the  traditional 
classroom  setting.  These  students  spend  at 
least  a  couple  of  days  each  week  on  clinical, 
or  doing  on  internship.  During  clinical  training 
students  work  in  their  fields  under  supervision, 
practicing  concepts  learned  in  the  classroom 
and  studying  new  material  as  well.  In  addition 
to  putting  in  their  hours  of  training  at  hospitals, 
clinics,  or  schools,  most  of  the  students  also 
have  homework,  exams,  and  varying  amounts 
of  conventional  lecture  time.  The  majority  of 
the  students  feel  that  clinical  training  is  a  very 
interesting  and  worthwhile  experience. 
Different  colleges  have  different  requirements 
for  their  students  on  clinical  .  .  . 
Boston-Bouve  College  of  Human  Development 
Professions: 

Each  department  of  this  college  has  its  own 
name  for  non-classroom  education,  and  the 
different  majors  have  specific  requirements  for 
the  students  in  the  programs.  Some  curricula 
include  a  regular  course  load  and  part-time 
training.  Most  education  majors  have  classes 
their  senior  year  and  internship  is  an  extra 
course  worth  eight  quarter  hours.  Physical 
education  is  structured  in  the  same  way, 
except  that  the  internship  is  worth  twelve 
quarter  hours.  Recreation  and  Leisure  Studies 
majors  have  an  internship  worth  sixteen 
quarter  hours. 

Physical  therapy  majors  have  a  unique 
program.  They  are  on  clinical  full-time  for  a 
total  of  17  weeks,  with  no  conventional 
classes.  Their  clinical  training  can  take  them 
almost  anywhere  across  the  country,  since 
Northeastern  is  affiliated  with  medical  centers 
from  Massachusetts  to  California. 


College  of  Nursing: 

In  the  College  of  Nursing,  clinical  starts  the 
first  quarter  of  sophomore  year  and  is  part  of 
the  nursing  courses  (just  as  lab  is  part  of 
Biology  or  Chemistry),  continuing  up  through 
senior  year. 

During  clinical  training,  students  give  direct 
patient  care  under  the  supervision  of  an  NU 
instructor.  With  each  clinical  period, 
responsibilities  of  the  students  progress  from 
giving  bed  baths  and  changing  beds  to  giving 
injections  and  changing  wound  dressings. 
Some  of  the  areas  of  training 
include:  psychiatry,  maternal  child  health, 
public  fiealth,  and  contemporary  nursing 
(specialization). 

Hospitals  involved  in  the  nursing  clinical 
programs  include  Beth  Israel  Hospital.  Brigham 
and  Women's  Hospital.  New  England  Medical 
Center/Boston  Floating  Hospital,  and 
Massachusetts  General  Hospital. 
College  of  Pharmacy  and  Allied  Health 
Professions: 

Requirements  for  this  college  depend 
heavily  on  the  student's  major  .  .  . 

Pharmacy:  All  fifth  year  pharmacy  students 
complete  a  ten-week  clinical  clerkship 
experience.  Four  clinical  sites  are  utilized  in  the 
program  -  Massachusetts  General  Hospital, 
New  England  Medical  Center  Hospital,  New 
England  Deaconess  Hospital,  and  the 
Veteran's  Administration  Medical  Center. 
Clinical  experience  provides  students  with  the 
opportunity  to  participate  with  other  members 
of  the  health  care  team  in  the  delivery  of 
care  to  patients  in  order  to  recognize  the 
pharmacist's  role  in  total  patient  care.  The 
pharmacy  students  gain  practice  in 


disseminating  information  both  orally  and  in 
written  form  to  peers  and  other  professionals 
by  presenting  case  studies  and  lectures 
dealing  with  drug  use  and  disease 
management. 

Health  Records  Administration:  Clinical 
training  programs  are  organized  to  orient 
students  to  the  entire  picture  of  the  health 
care  delivery  system.  Three  clinical  periods  are 
required,  one  in  each  of  the  following  settings: 
an  acute  care  facility,  an  ambulatory  care 
facility,  and  a  managerial  situation.  This  gives 
the  students  exposure  to  as  wide  a  range  of 
experiences  as  possible.  There  are  many 
clinical  affiliations,  including  all  of  the  major 
local  hospitals. 

Medical  Technology:  Students  begin  their 
total  of  nine  months  training  in  their  junior 
year,  attending  classes  at  NU  one  day  per 
week  and  working  at  nearby  hospitals  the 
other  four  days.  Students  train  through  four 
laboratories:  Microbiology,  Hematology,  Blood 
Bank,  and  Chemistry.  Some  of  the  hospitals 
where  students  train  include  University  Hospital, 
St.  Elizabeth's  Hospital,  Brigham  and  Women's 
Hospital,  and  Lahey  Clinic. 

Respiratory  Therapy:  Students  are  involved 
in  clinical  training  for  four  terms.  During  these 
quarters  students  spend  approximately  20 
hours  per  week  at  the  hospital  to  which  they 
are  assigned  as  well  as  taking  courses  at  NU. 
The  four  terms  are  broken  down  as  follow: 
basic  clinical  training,  critical  care,  and  the 
last  two  are  in  their  chosen  specialty.  Some  of 
the  hospitals  affiliated  with  this  program 
include  Massachusetts  General  Hospital,  The 
Children's  Hospital,  and  Newton-Wellesley 
Hospital.

Sailing  through 
your  courses 


So  you  want  to  run  away  to  sea,  eh?  Well,  every  spring 
quarter  Northeastern  otters  students  an  opportunity  to  do  just 
that. 

SeaQuarter  is  a  unique  liberal  arts  program  that  provides 
academia  along  with  a  chance  to  crew  the  U.S.  flag  schooner 
Harvey  Gamage.  The  ship  journeys  along  the  Eastern  seaboard 
and  into  the  Caribbean  Sea  making  ports-of-call  from  Maine  to 
the  Caribbean.  Along  the  way  students  visit  marine  institutions, 
museums  and  historic  and  scientific  sites. 

Yet  things  aren't  all  fun  and  no  work.  While  on  board,  in 
addition  to  regular  crew  duties,  students  are  required  to  take  a 
full  load  of  courses.  And  the  on-board  experience  combines 
learning  with  the  discovery  of  needing  mutual  dependence 
for  survival.  In  addition,  working  within  and  along  the  Atlantic 
ecosystem  provides  experience  that  can't  be  duplicated  in  a 
campus  classroom  or  laboratory. 

The  SeaQuarter  program  is  available  to  science  and 
nonscience  majors  of  at  least  sophomore  status. 

And  one  more  thing.  If  you  think  SeaQuarter  might  be  the 
thing  for  you,  remember  you  have  to  pull  your  own  load  and 
keep  those  grades  up. 

Or  else  you  walk  the  plank. 


From  cards  to  crts, 
she  was  there 


Associate  Professor  Harriet  Fell 
has  been  at  Northeastern  since 
1971.  She  has  been  an  integral 
part  of  the  formation  of  the 
College  of  Computer  Science. 
This  is  the  newest  and  one  of  the 
fastest-growing  colleges  here  at 
NU. 

CAULDRON:  What  do  you  like 
best  about  your  job? 
FELL:  "I  like  the  students  and  I 
really  enjoy  teaching.  It's  been  a 
lot  of  fun  building  up  the 
computer  science  program 
because  I  started  with  pure  math. 
It's  also  been  exciting  designing 
curriculum  and  interacting  with 
students." 

CAULDRON:  How  much 
opportunity  do  you  have  to 
design  curriculum? 
FELL:  "Too  much  perhaps!  Just  last 
year,  we  designed  an 
undergraduate  curriculum.  The 
freshmen  this  year  are  the  first  to 
enter  this  new  program." 
CAULDRON:  When  did  the 
computer  science  program  at 
Northeastern  begin? 
FELL:  "In  some  sense.  I  think  four 
years  ago.  We  officially 
graduated  our  first  seniors  last 
year.  The  program  originally 
existed  partially  under  math  and 
partially  under  engineering.  We 
came  together  under  an  06 
number  about  four  years  ago  and 
completely  separated  into  the 
College  of  Computer  Science  last 
year." 

CAULDRON:  What's  the  biggest 
change  you've  seen  in  the 
college  since  it  began? 
FELL:  "Well,  having  lots  of  students. 
There  has  been  a  major  change 
in  student  numbers.  There's  also  a 
human  issue.  Things  were 
scattered  and  now  we  have  a 
place  -  the  new  building.  One 
thing  we  really  enjoy  is  having  the 
students  and  the  lab  right  here. 
Now  we  exist  and  there  is  a 
better  interaction  with  the 
students  because  we  can  walk  in 
and  talk  to  them,  they're  right 
there.  We  also  got  new  Corvus 
computers.  It's  much  easier  to 
see  what's  really  happening  with 
the  program  now." 
CAULDRON:  What's  the  worst 
aspect  of  your  job? 
FELL:  "Too  many  meetings!" 
CAULDRON:  Northeastern  is  a  very 
large  school.  The  Cauldron's 
theme  this  year  is  "Feel  like  a 
Number".  What  are  your  thoughts 
on  this? 

FELL:  "I'm  not  a  student  here,  but 
I  don't  find  it  terribly  impersonal.  It 
depends.  Up  to  now,  the  College 
of  Computer  Science  had  very 
small  numbers.  As  we  get  larger, 
we'll  have  to  face  the  risks  that 
the  larger  colleges  face.  Students 
may  find  it  impersonal,  but  I  think 
all  of  us  being  in  this  building  (the 


Botolph  Building)  is  helpful 
because  students  see  us  all  the 
time  and  can  run  to  us  with 
questions.  I  think  we'll  have  to 
worry  about  that  as  we  start  to 
grow." 

CAULDRON:  How  many  students 
are  there  in  the  college  now? 
FELL:  "I'm  not  sure,  but  I  think  the 
undergraduate  day  program  has 
about  16,000  students." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  that  the 
computer  industry  will  continue  to 
grow  at  the  fast  pace  that  it  has 
been? 

FELL:  "For  a  while,  yes.  I  think  for 
the  next  ten  years  it  will.  There 
won't  be  so  much  of  a  need  for 
people  to  program,  but  as  things 
evolve,  there  will  be  a  need  for 
people  who  have  a  broad 
knowledge  of  computers,  and 
students  who  graduate  from 
Northeastern's  program  will  have 
that." 

CAULDRON:  What  kind  of  jobs  will 
Northeastern  students  who 
majored  in  computer  science  get 
when  they  graduate? 
FELL:  "Well,  they  usually  get  jobs 
in  some  kind  of  development.  The 
opportunities  vary." 
CAULDRON:  How  has  the 
computer  industry  changed  over 
the  years? 

FELL:  "No  more  cards!  When  I 
started,  and  it's  been  about  20 
years  since  I  first  played  with  a 
computer,  computers  with  very 
little  capabilities  took  up  a  lot  of 
space.  The  kind  of  capability  they 
had,  you  could  get  on  a  pocket 
calculator  these  days.  The  speed 
increase  and  miniaturizing  of 
computers  is  phenomenal. 

"The  major  change  though  is 
the  change  in  society.  Everybody 
somehow  is  now  aware  of 
computers  and  many  people 
have  computers  in  their  homes. 
Children  learn  about  them  in 
elementary  school.  Back  in  the 
60s,  it  was  a  rare  case  of  even  a 
high  school  student  encountering 
a  computer." 

CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  it's  very 
important  for  students  in  schools 
such  as  Arts  and  Sciences  and 
Nursing  to  take  computer 
courses? 

FELL:  "Well,  I  think  everybody 
should  take  some  kind  of 
computer  course.  Just  like  you 
should  take  some  history  and 
some  math.  Computers  are  a 
part  of  our  world  right  now  and  I 
think  they  affect  just  about 
anything  there  is  and  people 
should  have  a  look.  They  don't 
have  to  take  a  Pascal  course,  just 
some  special  course  for  business 
majors  or  science  majors, 
something  that  would  introduce 
them  to  computers." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  it's  hard 
for  a  woman  to  become 


7  think 
everybody 
should  take 
some  kind 
of 

computer 
course. " 


HARRIET 
FELL 


successful  in  the  field  of  computer 
science? 

FELL:  "No.  No  more  than  it  is  for  a 
woman  to  get  a  high  level  job  in 
any  field.  I  think  the  problem  is 
just  a  general  one  of  people  not 
liking  to  see  women  in  high  level 
positions  and  managerial 
positions. 

"But,  I  do  think  it's  easier  for  a 
woman  in  computer  science  than 
perhaps  in  straight  mathematics 
or  physics.  I  sometimes  have  the 
feeling  that  because  it  is  a 
younger  science  there  are 
younger  people  in  it  who  grew  up 
close  to  or  at  the  start  of  the 
women's  movement  and  they're 
open  to  having  women  around 
and  working  with  them,  unlike  the 
fields  that  are  more  traditionally 
men.  This  is  a  young  field,  it 
doesn't  have  the  tradition  to  be 
just  a  total  man's  field  as  some  of 
the  other  science  fields  are.  I'm 
sure  there  are  some  difficulties  for 


women  in  computer  science,  but 
they're  not  as  bad  as  in  other 
fields." 

CAULDRON:  Do  you  have  any 
hobbies  or  special  interests? 
FELL:  "I'm  a  cyclist.  My  husband 
and  I  rode  all  over  France, 
Scotland,  Ireland,  Italy,  and  some 
of  Greece.  On  our  wedding  day, 
we  rode  all  the  way  from  the 
wedding  to  the  hotel.  It  was 
about  four  miles.  People  waved 
when  they  saw  us.  It  was  totally 
unplanned.  Two  of  our  guests 
arrived  on  the  bicycle  so  when 
we  saw  it,  we  thought  we'd 
sneak  out  during  the  reception 
and  go  for  a  ride." 
CAULDRON:  If  you  could  give  one 
piece  of  advice  to  the 
graduating  seniors,  what  would  it 
be? 

FELL:  "Don't  think  that  just 
because  you're  seniors  that  your 
education  has  ended."

PAMELA 
STANTON 


Innovative  prof, 
finds  PT  rewarding 


Pamela  Stanton  knew  at  age 
ten  or  eleven  that  she  wanted  to 
become  a  physical  therapist.  That 
was  firm.  However,  for  the  last 
five  years,  Stanton  has  been  an 
assistant  professor  in 
Northeastern's  physical  therapy 
department. 

CAULDRON:  For  those  in  non- 
medical areas  of  study,  what  is 
physical  therapy? 
STANTON:  "Physical  therapy  has 
been  defined  recently  as  being  a 
profession  of  science  that  deals 
with  disorders  of  movement,  and 
we  deal  in  the  rehabilitation  or 
the  habilitation  of  people  who 
have  injuries,  or  have  diseases, 
birth  defects." 
CAULDRON:  What  part  of  the 


profession  do  you  teach  to  your 

students? 

STANTON:  "I'm  teaching  primarily 

now  in  the  area  of  health  science 

management.  I'm  teaching 

management  courses  for  physical 

therapists." 

CAULDRON:  When  you  were 

working  as  a  physical  therapist, 

were  there  any  downers  about 

the  job,  such  as  when  you  saw  a 

patient  not  progressing  fast 

enough? 

STANTON:  "That  may  occur  at 

times,  but  I  think  that  the  vast 

majority  of  the  time  the  profession 

is  very  rewarding  because  even 

on  a  day  to  day  basis,  the  smile 

from  the  patient  as  they  thank  us 

for  at  least  trying,  even  if  they're 


not  better,  but  the  fact  that  we 
tried  is  very  rewarding.  I  think  in 
Massachusetts,  and  in  physical 
therapy  in  general,  there  is  a 
growing  problem  now  with  the 
impact  of  cost  containment  on  all 
of  the  allied  health  professions. 
There  are  situations  where  it 
reduces  the  amount  of  time  that 
we  have  to  spend  with  our 
patients,  and  that's  of  concern  to 
us.  I  think  that  is  the  major 
problem  right  now,  which  is  a 
problem  in  health  care  in 
general." 

CAULDRON:  What  was  your  most 
rewarding  experience  while 
working  as  a  physical  therapist, 
such  as  witnessing  a  patient 
making  a  miraculous  recovery? 
STANTON:  "Not  a  miraculous 
recovery,  but  certainly  a  patient 
that  comes  to  mind  was  a 
quadraplegic  who  did  have  some 
strength.  He  had  been  shot  and 
when  I  first  met  him,  he  was  in  a 
wheel  chair  and  was  not  able  to 
take  care  of  himself.  He  was  only 
24  years  old.  Apparently,  he  had 
some  personality  problems,  and 
had  been  very  resistant  to 
rehabilitation.  So  several  of  the 
therapists  and  I  worked  with  him 
for  approximately  two  months. 
When  we  completed  his 
rehabilitation  program,  he  was 
able  to  ambulate  for  short 
distances,  but  he  was  almost 
completely  independent  in  taking 
care  of  himself,  and  was  thrilled 
with  his  own  progress.  The  last  I 
heard  of  him  he  had  entered  a 
college  program,  which  I  was 
very  excited  to  hear." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  have  any 
outside  interests? 
STANTON:  "I  play  the  piano  and 
the  guitar.  I  am  involved  with  a 
children's  program  in  Peabody 
that  I  really  enjoy  that  I 
originated.  It's  a  program  to  bring 
professionals  into  the  elementary 
school  system  and  share 
information  about  their  careers 
with  the  children,  to  help  them  in 
their  planning  for  their  futures  and 
in  establishing  goals  for 
themselves." 

CAULDRON:  How  does  a  physical 
therapist  keep  from  getting 
emotionally  involved  with  a 
patient? 

STANTON:  "It  is  hard  for  us.  I've 
included  in  one  of  my  courses 
now  a  unit  on  death  and  dying 
for  us  to  take  a  look  at  that,  just 
a  little  mini-unit,  and  of  course, 
there  are  other  courses  on 
campus  that  address  that  in  a 
more  in-depth  fashion.  But  it  is 
difficult  for  us  because  we  work 
with  children  who  are  terminal 
sometimes.  We  see  some  things 
that  just  simply  are  sad.  There's 
no  other  way  to  describe  it.  I 
think  one  of  the  things  that  we  as 
physical  therapists  must  have  to 
do  is  to  be  able  to  accept  that 
there  are  times  when  it  does 
bother  us." 

CAULDRON:  What  is  special  about 
Northeastern's  physical  therapy 
program  and  the  students  here? 
STANTON:  "Northeastern  is  unusual 
in  the  physical  therapy  program  in 
that  we  admit  our  students  as 
freshmen.  In  general,  academic 
programs  admit  their  students  into 
the  actual  physical  therapy 
program  at  the  end  of  their 


sophomore  year,  and  it's  a  four 
year  program.  Of  course,  we're  a 
five  year  program  so  we  have 
them  here  when  they  are 
younger  much  earlier  in  the 
curriculum,  which  I  thoroughly 
enjoy.  I  find  the  students  at 
Northeastern  to  be  very  flexible 
and  very  open.  I  use  educational 
games  in  the  teaching  process, 
and  some  methods  that  are 
perhaps  more  non-traditional  than 
they're  used  to  in  some  of  their 
courses.  I  find  them  always  open 
and  receptive  to  a  new  idea.  At 
the  end,  they  have  an 
opportunity  to  evaluate  it.  They 
might  not  like  it,  usually  they  do, 
but  if  they  don't,  we  try 
something  else.  But  I  have  found 
them  to  be  very  warm  and  very 
ready  to  learn,  and  very 
rewarding  for  me.  It  keeps  me 
constantly  encouraged  to  find 
new  and  interesting  ways  to 
teach  them  in  the  classroom.  So  I 
hope  in  some  way  that  I  reinforce 
and  motivate  them  in  what  they 
are  doing.  But  they  are  certainly 
doing  that  for  me,  too.  They 
don't  allow  me  to  burn  out.  They 
are  too  much  fun  and  too 
interesting." 

CAULDRON:  Does  the  co-op 
program  at  Northeastern  present 
any  problems? 

STANTON:  "I  was  not  sure  about 
that  when  I  first  came  here, 
particularly  with  my  area  of 
interest  being  management.  I  was 
not  sure  what  the  co-op 
experience  would  have  to  offer 
for  the  students  in  terms  of 
courses  that  I  would  have  to  be 
teaching.  After  five  years,  I  am 
very  impressed  with  the  co-op 
program  now.  That  may  be  one 
of  the  ways  in  which  students  are 
different  from  the  students  that 
I've  had  in  the  past  in  other 
programs.  That  is,  they  have 
been  out  in  the  real  world  and 
we  can  deal  with  real  world 
issues.  They  understand  what's 
going  on  in  health  care  much 
better  than  students  who  have 
not  been  out  on  the  co-op 
experience.  They  are  just  more 
sophisticated  in  that  area.  So  I 
can  discuss  things  like  fiscal 
management  with  them,  and  the 
fact  that  you  may  actually  not 
have  enough  money  to  carry  out 
all  the  programs  you  want,  and 
they're  not  shocked.  They  know 
that.  They've  seen  it.  So  we  can 
creatively  find  other  ways  to  do 
things." 

CAULDRON:  Do  you  think  co-op 
prepares  students  for  the  outside 
world? 

STANTON:  "I  think  they  are  more 
aware  of  us  as  a  profession.  I 
think  they  are  more  aware  of 
what  is  going  on  in  the  health 
care  system.  They  have  had  a  lot 
more  interaction  with  their 
colleagues  and  with  physical 
therapists.  I  think  that's  beneficial 
to  them.  As  far  as  I'm  concerned, 
if  I  was  in  this  area  hiring  a  new 
physical  therapist  graduate,  I 
would  much  prefer  to  have 
somebody  coming  from  this 
program  because  I  think  that 
clinically  they  have  more 
experience.  The  feedback  that  I 
get  from  the  clinical  area  is  very 
similar.  People  are  very  impressed 
with  them." 


His  policy  combines 
all  past  knowledge 


Assistant  Professor  Ravi 
Ramamurti  lived  in  India  for  the 
first  27  years  of  his  life,  obtaining 
a  BS  in  physics  and  then  an  MBA. 
He  joined  the  faculty  at 
Northeastern  in  1981  while  finishing 
his  doctorate  degree  at  the 
Harvard  Business  School.  He 
teaches  Business  Policy,  a  course 
required  for  all  seniors  in  the 
College  of  Business. 
CAULDRON:  In  what  ways  do  you 
feel  Business  Policy  is  important  to 
the  average  business  student? 
RAMAMURTI:  "'Business  Policy  is 
intended  to  be  a  'gapstone' 
course  that  ties  together  all  the 
stuff  you've  learned  in  all  your 
other  courses.  .  .  we  feel  it's 
important  for  the  graduate  to 
understand  how  the  different 
pieces  fit  together.  Some  of  you 
might  become  general  managers 
10  or  20  years  from  now.  But 
even  if  you  remain  within  a 
functional  area  it's  important  to 
be  able  to  understand  how  that 
function  relates  to  the  rest  of  the 
organization. 

"I  think  it's  also  important  for 
you  in  making  career  choices,  to 
understand  which  industries  are 
attractive.  .  .  to  be  able  to  assess 
organizations  and  say  'hey,  is  this 
the  kind  of  company  I  want  to 
work  for?'  How  do  you  assess  the 
company's  culture,  its  prospects 
within  its  industry.  .  .  not  only 
where  it  has  been  or  where  it  is 
now,  but  where  it  is  likely  to  be  in 
the  future.  You  want  to  be  on 
the  right  side,  you  want  to  be 
with  the  companies  that  are  likely 
to  prosper,  with  the  industries  that 
are  likely  to  grow,  as  opposed  to 
being  in  industries  that  are  likely 
to  decline  or  companies  that  are 
on  their  way  out. 

"So  I  think  it's  supposed  to  train 
you  to  be  a  little  futuristic,  and  to 
be  able  to  see  the  whole  picture 
as  opposed  to  being  very  narrow. 
I  think  most  of  the  other  courses 
prepare  you  to  be  more  narrow 
in  your  perspective.  .  . 

"Just  from  the  kinds  of 
questions  people  raise  on  the  first 
day  of  class  I  can  usually  tell 
where  their  concentration  is.  The 
guy  with  the  Finance  background 
will  invariably  say  'what  is  the 
return  going  to  be?  Is  it  going  to 
be  profitable?  How  will  we 
finance  it?'  The  people  with 
marketing  backgrounds.  .  .  the 
first  thing  they  look  at  is 
competition  and  'what  is  the 
growth  rate  of  the  industry 
concerned?'  I  tell  them  that  the 
objective  is  that  by  the  end  of 
the  course,  everyone  must  be 
able  to  ask  all  the  questions." 
CAULDRON:  Some  accounting 
and  finance  majors  feel  that  in 
the  policy  game,  they  are  the 
ones  who  'carry  the  load'  for  the 
group  because  of  all  the  numbers 
involved.  What  do  you  think? 
RAMAMURTI:  "They  probably  are 


correct.  Since  the  minimum  you 
must  do  is  fill  out  a  decision  sheet, 
it  means  you  have  to  do  a 
certain  amount  of  number 
punching.  .  .  everything  on  the 
decision  sheet  is  a  number. 

"But  I  expect  the  students  to 
do  a  lot  more  than  that.  .  .  In  a 
good  group  where  they  have  all 
different  concentrations.  .  .  they 
can  bring  a  lot  of  other  issues  into 
the  running  of  this  company, 
which  the  computer  does  not 
understand,  but  I  understand.  I  tell 
the  students  'remember,  it's  not 
the  computer  that's  going  to 
grade  you,  I'm  the  one  who's 
going  to  grade  you.  So  I 
understand  if  something  is  going 
to  help  you  even  if  the  computer 
doesn't.'" 

CAULDRON:  Do  you  feel  group 
participation  is  important? 
RAMAMURTI:  "Without  group 
participation  a  case  doesn't  fly.  . 
.  As  I  said  there's  nothing  like 
having  30  people  with  30 
perspectives  looking  at  the  same 
problem  but  seeing  different 
things  in  that  problem.  It's  useful, 
having  analyzed  a  case,  to  come 
into  the  class  and  find  that  you 
completely  missed  a  perspective 
that  somebody  else  brings  up. 

"Sometimes  you  have  strong 
differences  of  opinion  and  that 
creates  some  tension  within  the 
classroom.  Once  there's  tension, 
everyone  begins  to  listen.  .  .  you 
get  involved  in  issues  and  so  you 
pay  more  attention  and  you 
internalize  it  much  more  than  you 
would  if  you  just  read  it  in  a  book. 

"The  other  thing  we  hope  it 
achieves  is  just  to  get  people  to 
speak  in  public,  to  be  able  to 
participate  in  a  discussion,  which 
they  all  have  to  do  in  their  jobs. 
You  cannot  just  come  with  a 
prepared  statement  and  just 
read  it  out.  You  have  to  listen 
and  talk  at  the  same  time,  and 
that  is  a  skill.  You  might  have 
been  about  to  say  something 
when  someone  else  says 
something  else.  Then  you  have  to 
modify  what  you  are  going  to 
say,  and  do  it  on  the  spot,  and 
then  say  as  much  as  you  can  in 
as  little  time." 

CAULDRON:  In  this  course  you  see 
the  students  from  all  perspectives. 
Do  you  see  any  particular  area 
where  the  majority  of  the 
students'  skills  are  lacking? 
RAMAMURTI:  "Writing  is  definitely 
a  big  problem.  .  .  the  problem,  I 
suspect,  is  at  the  school  level.  .  .  I 
don't  know  what  we  can  do 
when  they're  just  about  to 
graduate,  but  I  tell  my  students 
very  clearly  up  front  that  they  will 
be  judged  as  much  for  the  style 
and  presentation  as  they  will  for 
the  content.  Therefore  they  must 
check  the  spelling,  they  must 
proofread,  they  might  have  to 
write  two  or  three  drafts  before 
they  come  up  with  a  final  draft. 


"It's  not  the 
computer 
that's  going 
to  grade 
you.  I'm  the 
one  who's 
going  to 
grade  you. " 


RAVI 
RAMAMURTI 


and  I  encourage  them  to  take 
any  help  they  can  from  the 
Writing  Resources  Center.  They 
can  take  a  draft,  show  it  to 
them,  and  have  it  improved  (from 
the  viewpoint  of  writing)  before 
they  turn  it  in." 

CAULDRON:  Here  at  Northeastern, 
many  people  tend  to  feel  like 
numbers  instead  of  individuals.  Do 
you  see  that  problem? 
RAMAMURTI:  "Our  number  of 
teaching  faculty  is  pretty  high,  so 
even  though  the  sections  are 
small,  we  have  this  quarter  system 
so  the  faces  keep  changing 
constantly.  We  don't  really  get  to 
develop  strong  ties  with  the 
students.  One  way  around  that,  I 
think,  are  the  Honors  courses, 
where  there  are  smaller  groups  of 
students  going  into  more  depth  in 
most  topics.  .  . 

"But  I  don't  blame  the  students 
who  feel  that  way,  because  I 
think  it  is  a  fact  that  Northeastern 
is  a  little  bit  of  a  factory.  .  .  there 
are  13  sections  of  the  policy 
course,  we  have  the  quarter 
system.  .  .  I  wish  we  could  move 
to  a  semester  system,  so  that 


we'd  have  more  sessions  per 
course  and  more  continuous 
contact  with  one  faculty 
member.  I  wish  they  would  lower 
the  teaching  load  for  us  faculty, 
so  we  would  then  be  able  to 
spend  more  time  with  the 
students  we  do  teach." 
CAULDRON:  What  advice  do  you 
have  for  the  members  of  the 
Class  of  1984? 

RAMAMURTI:  "One  thing  comes  to 
mind.  .  .  the  Business  School 
program  is  based  on  things  that 
happened  in  the  60s  and  70s,  but 
things  in  the  80s  and  90s  are 
going  to  be  very  different.  So 
we've  probably  not  done  an 
adequate  job  in  training  you  for 
the  future.  .  .  we've  trained  you 
to  manage  the  past,  but  not  to 
manage  the  future.  So  I  think  you 
are  going  to  have  to  do  that  on 
your  own.  .  . 

"Your  degree  may  take  you  for 
the  next  five  years,  but  after  that 
you're  going  to  get  obsolete. 
Everything  you've  learned  today 
will  become  less  and  less  relevant 
with  time." 


"We  try  to 

teach  our 

students 

ethics. " 


ROBERT 
CROATTI 


CJ  Students  learn 
law  and  much  more 


Associate  Dean  Robert  Croatti 
has  been  at  Northeastern  since 
1966.  After  working  in  other 
administrative  positions,  he  served 
as  the  first  co-op  coordinator  for 
the  College  of  Criminal  Justice. 
After  that  he  was  assistant  to  the 
dean  of  the  College  of  Criminal 
Justice  before  becoming  an 
associate  dean. 

CAULDRON:  Is  there  any  particular 
skill  that  you  find  students 
lacking?  Is  there  any  one  area 
that  professors  complain  about? 
CROATTI:  "I  think  the  biggest 
problem  is  writing.  Students  just 
haven't  had  enough  practice." 
CAULDRON:  Where  do  you  think 
the  problem  lies? 
CROATTI:  "I  think  basically  it's  the 


educational  system  that  began 
to  change  over  the  past  15 
years.  As  a  result  there  is 
emphasis  off  the  traditional  kind 
of  subject  matter.  Students  have 
a  lack  of  ability  to  write  in  some 
cases  and  lots  of  them  just  don't 
have  adequate  study  habits. 
They  haven't  been  taught  to 
study  properly.  Those  are  the  two 
major  problems." 
CAULDRON:  What  does  the 
College  of  Criminal  Justice  do  to 
try  to  combat  this? 
CROATTI:  "We  try  to  emphasize  in 
the  freshman  year  to  students  the 
need  to  write,  we  introduce  in 
freshman  classes  papers  that 
students  have  to  deal  with.  There 
are  three  basic  classes  that  we 


have  in  this  college  that  students 
take:  a  course  in  the 
administration  of  criminal  justice 
which  deals  with  the  overall 
system;  a  course  of  introduction 
to  the  law  and  the  American 
legal  system.  .  .  which  involves 
cases  and  .  .  .  the  students  get 
some  writing  skills  there;  and 
there's  a  course.  Issues  in  Criminal 
Justice  and  they're  required  to 
write  papers  in  there." 
CAULDRON:  Where  do  you  see 
this  school  going  in  the  future? 
CROATTI:  "Well,  our  two  goals  are 
to  upgrade  the  professionals  in 
the  area  of  criminal  justice  and  to 
get  ourselves  involved  in  the 
community." 

CAULDRON:  Could  you  please 
describe  some  of  the  community 
projects? 

CROATTI:  "In  one  of  them,  we 
have  a  contract  with  the  city  of 
Boston,  with  the  penal  institutions 
department,  in  which  we're 
contracted  to  operate  a  legal 
services  program  in  Suffolk 
County  House  of  Corrections  on 
Deer  Island.  As  a  result,  what 
we're  doing  there  is  to  give  legal 
aid  to  the  inmates  at  Deer  Island. 
.  .  we  have  our  students  get 
involved  there. 

"We  have  had  a  community 
service  restitution  program  in  the 
past  where  we  have  dealt  with 
district  courts  in  Brookline, 
Dedham,  Wrentham  and  Newton. 

"Presently  I'm  associated  with 
the  District  Attorney's  office  in 
Middlesex  County.  .  .  we've  done 
a  study  on  the  security  systems 
for  the  Chelsea  Housing  Program." 
CAULDRON:  Many  times,  students 
here  at  Northeastern  feel  like 
numbers  because  of  the  size  of 
the  university.  How  does  someone 
in  your  position  combat  that? 
CROATTI:  "Well.  I  think  that.  .  .  at 
any  large  urban  university  you'll 
always  have  that  problem.  There 
are  a  great  many  students, 
classes  with  large  numbers  of 
students,  ...  in  this  college  we 
try  to  alleviate  that  by  setting  up 
a  student  government  where 
students  participate,  meeting  with 
the  deans  of  the  college  every 
week  and  discussing  their 
problems.  They're  involved  in  all 
committees  in  the  college-they 
have  representatives  at  faculty 
meetings,  membership  on  the 
Academic  Standing  Committee. 

"They  have  an  equal  vote  with 
faculty  members,  so  in  that  sense, 
in  this  college,  they  really  feel  a 
little  bit  closer  to  the  university, 
that  they  don't  look  at 
themselves  as  numbers." 
CAULDRON:  What  is  a  good  area 
for  a  graduating  senior  to  get 


into  in  the  field  of  criminal  justice? 
CROATTI:  "I  think  Criminal  Justice 
right  now  is  exciting  in  all  areas. 

so  I  think  students  coming  out  of 
criminal  justice  right  now  have  a 
good  opportunity  in  any  of  those 
areas. 

"We  are  educating  our 
students  to  give  to  the  system,  to 
deal  with  the  changes  in  the 
system,  and  to  try  to  deal  with 
individuals  in  a  decent,  honorable 
kind  of  way.  We  try  to  teach  our 
students  ethics." 
CAULDRON:  How  does  a  person 
graduating  from  this  college  get 
into  the  FBI  when  the  applications 
more  or  less  say,  'We  want 
lawyers  and  accountants'? 
CROATTI:  "An  undergraduate 
from  this  college  who  wants  to 
get  into  the  FBI,  because  of  the 
regulations  they  have  in  terms  of 
accounting,  can  take  a  course  in 
an  area  of  accounting  through 
the  College  of  Business  that  would 
qualify  him  for  the  job  right  out  of 
school. 

"They're  looking  at  it  because 
of  the  job  that  the  FBI  does.  A  lot 
of  the  work  they  do  in  terms  of 
investigating,  deals  with 
investigating  ledgers  and 
accounts,  so  you  really  have  to 
have  that  kind  of  background. 

"Also,  they  want  all  their  agents 
to  have  some  kind  of  a  legal 
background.  I  think  that  might  be 
a  bit  outdated.  When  those 
things  were  set  up,  the  only  place 
you  could  go  to  get  legal 
education  was  law  school,  and 
that's  why  they  set  that.  There 
are  now  other  ways  of  getting 
the  kind  of  legal  education  that 
you  would  need  to  do  that  job 
without  being  an  attorney." 
CAULDRON:  Do  you  have  any 
advice  for  people  graduating 
from  this  college  or  any  other 
college  in  1984? 
CROATTI:  "The  only  thing.  .  . 
today,  with  the  economic 
situation  the  way  it  is,  there  are  a 
number  of  individuals  that  I  think 
have  gone  away  from  some 
social  service  types  of  jobs  and 
have  gone  into  business  jobs 
because  there's  a  bigger  payoff 
(monetarily). 

"I  think  the  country  needs  more 
individuals  who  are  dedicated  to 
social  service  kind  of  work.  This 
has  gone  down  over  the  past  ten 
years.  I  like  to  see  more  students 
think  very  carefully  about  when 
they  get  out,  and  to  weigh  the 
benefits  of  economic  success 
versus  some  of  the  social 
vocations  that  we  have  and  to 
get  more  involved  in  this  kind  of 
thing."

Grad  placement  .  .  . 


Curious  middlers  and  juniors  who  venture 
into  Nightingale  during  the  "job-hunting" 
season  will  see  the  busiest  office  on  campus. 
Its  seemingly  chaotic  state  of  affairs  is  purely 
misunderstood  by  the  inexperienced 
underclassperson.  To  seniors  the  "Grad 
Placement"  Office  becomes  the  "proving- 
ground"  for  their  career  goals  and  personal 
ambitions. 

Grad  Placement  .  .  .  Prior  to  senior  year  it's 
an  obscure  office  in  Nightingale  Hall,  but 
during  the  final  two  quarters  at  N.U.  it  plays  a 
vital  role  in  securing  post-graduate 
employment. 

The  services  offered  by  the  placement 
office  are  quite  extensive  and  encompass  all 
areas  necessary  to  prepare  seniors  for  the 
Fall/Winter/Spring  job  search. 

Upon  returning  to  Huntington  ave.  for  the 
final  six  months,  seniors  are  invited  to  attend  a 
series  of  orientation  meetings.  These  meetings, 
mandatory  for  participation  in  the  program, 


bring  to  light  the  "ways  and  means"  of  office 
operations.  Policies  are  explained,  guidelines 
set,  with  every  participating  senior 
encouraged  to  ask  questions  insuring  all  an 
equal  and  fair  employment  opportunity. 

Many  seniors  can  be  seen  and  heard 
complaining  of  an  antiquated  system,  being 
unable  to  secure  an  interview  with  the 
company(ies)  of  their  choice,  and  other 
related  topics.  They  fail  to  realize  and 
comprehend  the  size  and  complexity  of  the 
grad  placement  program. 

A  valuable  service  offered,  but  underutilized, 
is  the  Research  Library.  Materials  offered  are 
up-to-date,  providing  all  necessary  information 
to  prepare  for  upcoming  interviews.  Knowing 
history  and  background  of  interviewing 
companies  can  be  invaluable  and  possibly 
bring  an  invitation  for  a  second  interview. 

Much  like  the  rest  of  Northeastern,  seniors 
will  only  get  out  of  Grad  Placement  what  they 
put  in. 


JOB 
BANK 


.  .  .  like  a 
fifth  course 


Some  people  have  fond  memories  of  their 
experiences  with  grad  placement,  like  the 
accounting  major  who  was  offered  positions 
at  three  "big  eight"  public  accounting  firms. 
Others,  like  the  student  who  went  on  nine 
interviews  and  received  nine  rejections,  are 
not  as  pleased.  Below  is  one  student's 
summation  of  grad  placement: 

99.999,  Grad  Placement 

Prerequisites:  Senior  status.  Business  and 
Engineering  students  preferred,  O  Q.H. 

This  elective  is  a  service  to  help  find  after- 
graduation  employment  for  seniors.  (Elective: 
designed  to  feel  like  a  fifth  course — requires 
much  time  and  provides  plenty  aggravation.) 

Students  need  to  check  job  boards  10  to  15 
times  per  week  to  see  which  companies  will 
be  on  campus.  Students  may  be  rewarded 
with  an  interview  by:  1.  Computer  sign- 
up— computer  randomly  picks  individuals  to 
interview;  2.  Prescreen — students  submit 
transcript,  resume,  application,  birth 
certificate,  blood  sample,  $1000  and  promise 
of  first  born  for  interviewers  to  review.  When 
or  if  interviews  are  granted,  student  must 
return  (4  to  15  hours  per  week)  for  interviews. 

Outside  work  is  recommended  (i.e. 
researching  companies,  figuring  out  answers 
to  questions  interviewers  may  ask,  waiting  for 
replies,  worrying,  accepting  rejection, 
gracefully  accepting  friends'  rejections  and 
tactfully  announcing  second  interviews  and 
job  offers). 

Note:  Course  is  offered  once  to  each 
student.  Ulcers  are  a  special  bonus. 


Commencement:  work  behind  the  scenes 


"Commencement  is  one  of  the  only  times 
of  the  year  that  everyone  works  together  for 
one  common  goal."  said  Charles  Devlin.  Dean 
of  Financial  Aid  and  Chairman  of  the 
Commencement  Committee. 

Devlin  has  been  chairman  for  over  15  years, 
having  formulated  and  perfected  the  plans 
used  in  conducting  the  ceremonies  as 
efficiently  as  possible,  allowing  the  graduates 
to  receive  their  own  diplomas  on  graduation 
day. 

To  Devlin's  knowledge,  there  are  no  other 
schools,  close  to  the  size  of  Northeastern,  that 
give  students  their  diplomas  at 
commencement. 

"I  remember  a  story  from  1967.  68  or 
thereabouts  ...  I  had  a  letter  from  a  school 
out  in  the  Midwest.  It  was  a  survey  type  of 
thing  ...  At  that  time  I  think  we  were 
graduating  close  to  3000  students  .  .  .  and 
they  were  saying  that  they  were  approaching 
a  point  where  they  were  going  to  have  250 
to  300  students  graduating  and  they  felt  that 
they  couldn't  give  their  students  their  own 
diplomas  and  did  I  have  any  suggestions.  I  did. 
I  wrote  back  and  told  them  that  it  was  silly 
that  they  couldn't  give  them  their  own 
diplomas.  I  didn't  hear  back  from  them 
again."  said  Devlin. 

The  planning  of  the  entire  ceremony 
(including  timing)  is  all  done  on  paper  ahead 
of  time.  Students  are  lined  up  alphabetically 
by  degree  by  college,  with  older  colleges  (i.e. 
Engineering  and  Arts  and  Sciences)  seated 
towards  the  front. 


There  are  faculty  marshals,  each  in  charge 
of  35  to  40  students,  who  assist  in  lining  up 
students  on  graduation  morning.  The  faculty 
marshal  checks  off  students  present  on  an 
attendance  list  and  makes  sure  they  line  up  in 
proper  order.  They  report  attendance  to  the 
"checkers"  in  the  back  of  the  auditorium. 
Master  lists  are  then  made  and  taken  up  on 
stage,  where  the  stage  people  arrange  the 
files  in  order  and  provide  for  any  aberrations  in 
the  order  of  graduates. 

There  is  also  a  group  of  people  known  as 
"the  pit  crew"  who  actually  work  with  the 
faculty  marshals  to  help  line  up  the  graduates. 
To  double-check  the  order,  students  who  start 
a  new  row  wear  dots  on  their  lapels. 

"Everything  is  checked,  double  checked, 
triple-checked,  and  of  course  the  students  are 
told  what  to  do  and  if  they  do  what  they're 
told  they  usually  get  their  own  diploma,"  said 
Devlin. 

There  are  blank  diplomas  available  for 
students  appearing  late  or  out  of  order,  or  for 
those  ineligible  due  to  course  deficiencies  or 
outstanding  bills.  These,  according  to  Devlin, 
have  traditionally  been  used  very  rarely. 

In  1983,  for  the  first  time,  individual  photos 
were  taken  of  students  receiving  their 
diplomas,  which  seemed  to  be  quite  a 
success.  It  didn't  slow  down  the  process  of 
receiving  diplomas  because  as  Devlin  said,  "I 
told  them  they  were  on  their  own,  and  I 
wasn't  going  to  change  anything  for  them  .  .  . 
I  think  they  did  a  good  job."  (Almost  2700  of 
4400  graduates  from  both  morning  and 


afternoon  ceremonies  bought  photos.) 

The  Commencement  Committee  are  not 
the  only  people  who  are  heavily  involved  with 
graduation.  The  engrossing  of  diplomas  begins 
in  March,  with  corrections  being  made  right  up 
until  the  last  minute.  Bob  Goodwin,  the  one 
man  show  at  J.R.  Rosen  Studio,  the  univeristy's 
engrosser,  works  up  to  18  hours  a  day  as 
commencement  day  draws  near. 

Barry's  in  Braintree  has  been  the 
commencement  florist  for  Northeastern  since 
1958.  Months  of  preparation  and  planning  are 
involved  before  the  staff  of  about  14  people 
begin  decorating  two  days  before 
Commencement . 

The  operations  staff  at  the  Boston  Garden 
are  responsible  for  all  of  the  physical  labor 
involved  in  setting  up  the  Garden.  This 
includes  chair  and  stage  set-up  and  some 
decoration. 

Everyone  involved  in  the  smallest  way  with 
graduation  will  agree  that  Northeastern's 
Commencement  is  one  of  the  biggest  events 
of  the  year.  It  means  a  lot  of  hard  work  but 
once  over,  it  is  worth  the  effort. 

Perhaps,  at  times,  we  were  made  to  feel 
like  only  numbers  here  at  Northeastern.  But  on 
graduation  day,  we  turn  into  individuals  once 
again  as  we  receive  our  own  diplomas  when 
we  walk  up  to  that  stage  and  shake  our 
Dean's  hand. 

The  Cauldron  salutes  all  of  the  hardworking 
people  who  make  this  event  possible!

workers.  They  may  not  have  put  in  as  many  hours  as 
some  of  our  regular  staffers  but  they  were  equally 
as  valuable.  They  showed  up  in  crisis  situations  and 
helped  us  get  four  deadlines  in  on  time.

MET  84 

As  an  alumnus,  I 
intend  to  give  this 
university  everything 
that  they  have  given 
me, 

Thanks  to  everyone, 
especially  the  photography 
staff.  A  special  thanks  to  all 
those  who  smiled  for  us,  and 
all  those  who  held  Palloons.

My  title  this  year  was  Editor-in-Control.  .  . 
How  ironic.  In  all  of  my  eight  years  of 
producing  yearbooks,  I  have  never  felt  out  of 
control  so  many  times  as  I  have  in  the  past 
year.  .  . 

This  has  been  a  very  unusual  year  in  many 
respects.  Many  changes  occurred,  in  both 
staff  and  circumstances.  We  had  a  large 
number  of  students  who'd  "never  worked  on 
a  yearbook  before".  (Gregg,  don't  you  dare 
say  you  don't  know  layout!  You  do!)  This 
group  has  also  included  a  mix  of  majors  (from 
journalism  to  pharmacy)  and  years  of 
graduation  (freshmen  to  seniors).  This 
collection  of  students  with  widely  varied 
backgrounds  paved  the  way  for  many  new 
ideas.  (It  also  paved  the  way  for  a  few 
debates.  .  .  right  Steve?  What  did  you  say 
about  that  cover??)  We  also  welcomed  a 
new  print  media  advisor,  Mark  Woodhams,  to 
the  fourth  floor. 

In  addition  to  the  staff  changes,  there  were 
other  important  changes  in  the  publication 
itself.  For  the  first  time  in  at  least  twenty 
years,  there  will  be  a  supplement  to  this 
yearbook,  to  be  mailed  in  September.  This 
supplement  will  include  Senior  Week  activities 
as  well  as  Commencement  and  spring  sports. 
Another  interesting  point  about  the 
supplement  is  that  funds  were  raised  to  pay 
for  it  through  the  first  successful  advertising 
campaign  the  Cauldron  has  had  in  over  ten 
years.  (Go  ahead  Paul,  pat  yourself  on  the 
back!) 


To  you.  the  members  of  the  Class  of  1984  - 
take  care  of  your  yearbook.  Put  it  in  a  safe 
place  for  a  few  years  and  let  it  get  covered 
with  dust.  Although  yearbooks  can  be 
enjoyed  today,  they're  really  made  for 
tomorrow,  for  five  and  ten  years  from  now, 
after  you've  forgotten  a  little  about  your 
years  here  at  Northeastern.  It  will  help  you 
remember  your  days  as  Student  ID  #XXX-XX- 
XXXX  and  how  you  struggled  to  remain 
unique  in  a  school  with  50,000  students.  It  will 
remind  you  of  good  times,  friends,  co-op,  and 
that  course  you  thought  you'd  never  pass.  If 
you  can  take  away  from  this  book  half  as 
much  as  we  have  all  poured  into  it,  then  we 
have  done  our  jobs. 

One  privilege  the  editor-in-chief  often  has  is 
what  my  friend  Mary  calls  "the  Academy 
Award  Speech".  .  .  the  following  are  some 
special  thank-you's  I  feel  are  necessary.  .  . 

The  theme  of  this  book  is  "Feel  Like  a 
Number"  for  obvious  reasons.  The  fact  is, 
some  of  us  were  fortunate  enough  to  avoid 
most  of  that  "lost  in  the  crowd"  feeling.  I'd 
like  to  thank  Prof.  Betsy  Szymczak,  Dr.  Davis 
and  everyone  in  the  Medical  Laboratory 
Science  Department  for  always  treating  me 
as  an  individual  and  always  being  there  to 
help. 

To  Mark  Crowley,  the  one  who  taught  me 
most  of  what  I  know  about  yearbooks,  and 
who  really  got  me  hooked  on  making 
Cauldrons,  thanks  (I  think?!). 

Thanks  to  Dean  Vetstein  and  Cathy  Craven 


for  all  of  their  help  and  support  on  past 
Cauldrons  (and  at  the  beginning  of  the  '84 
also). 

To  Mary  and  to  my  roomies,  past  and 
present  -  thanks  for  tolerating  and  then  slowly 
understanding  my  "obsession"  with  yearbooks. 
.  .  your  help  was  appreciated  so  much 
because  it  was  given  out  of  friendship. 

To  all  of  the  Cauldron  staff  -  "thanks"  hardly 
covers  it,  but  you  know  what  I  mean. 
Although  many  of  you  never  quite  understood 
the  pressure  I  felt,  you  felt  the  responsibilities 
given  to  you  and  usually  didn't  let  me  down.  I 
appreciate  the  overall  dedication  and  that 
support  in  clutch  situations  more  than  you'll 
ever  know. 

There's  one  person  on  the  staff  who  did 
understand  how  I  felt  when  things  looked  like 
they  were  falling  apart,  and  this  book  would 
not  be  of  the  excellent  quality  I  feel  it  is 
without  Kathy  Soulia.  After  having  gone 
through  all  of  this  last  year  when  our  roles 
were  reversed,  she  had  the  experience  and 
knowledge  to  be  one  excellent  managing 
editor.  Love  and  thanks  Kath,  for  all  you've 
done. 

To  the  people  who  listened  to  me  complain 
that  I  wouldn't  survive  this  yearbook  due  to 
total  burnout  (Mary,  Jeffrey,  Kath,  John,  my 
roommates,  my  family):  thanks  for  letting  me 
worry  aloud.  .  . 

And  John  E.  Price  III,  our  outstanding  photo 
editor,  thanks  for  everything,  especially  for 
proving  it  is  possible  to  mix  business  with 
pleasure  (X  +  Y=?). 

Darren  and  the  rest  of  next  year's  Cauldron 
staff:  Remember  that  although  "Deadlines  Last 
Forever",  the  book  itself  and  the  experience 
you  gain  from  working  on  it  will  last  even 
longer.  .  .  Go  for  it! 


3  hugs  to  my  favorite  job  stamper  and  morale  booster,  Jill  L'Heureux!
