We  hove  chosen  "Connections"  as  our  theme  for  the  1961  INDEX.  For 
here  ot  the  University,  we  ore  connected  to  many  things,  some  may  be 
more  apparent  than  others,  and  the  connections  do  exist.  We  ore 
connected  to  the  University,  to  our  fellow  students  and  to  our  professors. 
We  ore  connected  to  our  families  bock  home,  to  other  schools,  to  the 
real  world.  There  is  (yes,  really)  a  connection  between  studying  and 
portying,  between  learning  and  doing,  and  between  getting  a  degree 
and  getting  a  job.  Finally,  we  ore  connected  to  the  history  of  the 
University.  With  that,  we  would  like  to  conclude  with  the  following 
quote: 


In  submitting  to  you  this  volume  of  the  Index,  we  have  to  offer  a 
congradulotion  upon  being  enabled  to  look  bock  on  a  year  .  .  . 
replete  with  facts  which,  os  bearing  on  the  future  of  our  institution, 
are  significant. 

We  allude  to  the  growing  popularity  of  our  college  ond  the  rank 
it  is  taking  among  institutions  of  learning.  From  the  year  of  its 
foundation  the  college  has  had  to  encounter  oppositions  of  every 
sort  and  mognitude  .  .  .  We  ore  slowly  but  surely  living  down  all 
this  unfriendliness;  and,  fellow-student,  don't  leave  all  this  work  of 
conversion  to  the  mon  ot  the  wheel.  Although  the  ship  is  in  good 
hands,  yet  we,  as  students,  in  our  peculiar  relations  with  one 
another  and  with  the  public,  act  on  importont  port  in  giving 
character  and  ploce  to  the  college  .  .  . 

We  hove  a  word  to  soy  to  the  succeeding  class:  Do  not  foil  to 
publish  the  Index;  there  ore  some  in  every  doss  who  will  be 
indifferent  or  opposed  to  the  publication.  This  is  the  only  exponent 
there  is  in  college  to  represent  the  students,  which  ought  to  be 
sufficient  reason  for  its  continuance. 
Editorial  from  1876  INDEX

STUDENT  GOVERNMENT  ASSOCIATION 


Every  undergraduate  who  pays  the  Student  Activities  Tax  on  the  fee  bill  is  a  member  of  the  Student 
Government  Association.  The  SGA  attempts  to  provide  a  strong  voice  for  student  interests  both  within  the 
University  and  outside  of  it. 

The  SGA  presdient  is  elected  popularly  each  spring  to  represent  students  in  the  University,  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  and  the  State  legislature.  Two  students  serve  as  co-presidents  —  one  serves  as  the  student  member  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  the  other  serves  as  the  student  body  president.

BOARD  OF  GOVERNORS 


The  Campus  Center/Student  Union  Board  of  Governors  has  many  tasks.  We  provide  student  input  into  many 
decisions  Management  may  wish  to  make  within  the  complex.  We  are  charged  with  the  responsibility  of  ensuring 
that  student  concerns  are  part  of  all  policy  made  for  the  Complex.  Sometimes  that  can  be  a  very  difficult  job.  An 
example  of  this  responsibility  is  maintaining  input  into  the  many  renovations  planned  for  the  Campus 
Center/Student  Union  Building. 

Another  function  of  the  board  is  to  watchdog  all  day-to-day  operations  in  the  Complex.  The  board  is  charged 
with  the  responsibility  of  ensuring  that  all  increases  in  fees  or  retail  prices  are  justified.  We  must  be  on  top  of 
financial  as  well  as  operational  activities  that  occur  in  the  day-to-day  operations  of  the  food  services  department, 
Retail  Services  Department,  Hotel,  Mini-store,  Administration,  etc. 

The  Board  of  Governors  also  provides  many  direct  services  to  the  UMass  community.  We  certify  all  vendors 
who  wish  to  sell  on  the  concourse.  We  provide  food  and  room  waivers  for  qualifying  organizations.  We  operate 
a  key  function  which  is  responsible  for  distributing  keys  to  all  student  organizations  in  the  Complex.  The  Board 
Of  Governors  also  funds  many  groups  providing  services  to  the  UMass  community  including  the  Craft  Shop,  the 
Student  Union  Gallery,  Governor's  Program  Council,  Cable  Video  Project,  and  the  Union  Program  Council.  We 
oversee  their  financial  records,  provide  technical  assistance,  and  provide  a  calendar  for  publicity  of  their 
functions. 

In  summary,  the  Board  of  Governors  is  an  elected  group  of  students  maintaining  student  input  in  the  Campus 
Center/Student  Union  Complex.  We  provide  services  and  oversee  the  operations  of  all  functions  in  the  Complex.

Student  Union.  It  offers  a  wide  variety  of  inexpensive, 
nutritious  food  which  is  otherwise  not  available  on  cam- 
pus. The  market  is  a  place  for  students  to  learn  about 
cooperative  business,  and  is  a  center  for  sharing  informa- 
tion on  nutrition  and  politics.  But  mostly  it  is  a  student  run 
store  and  people  are  always  welcome.

problems  and  concerns  of  the  handicapped  population.  The  collective's 
nope  is  that  through  education  of  the  community  these  problems  may

into  all  activities  of  University  life.

COLLEGIAN 


Every  day,  Monday  through  Friday,  thousands  of  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts  students  and  employees  pick  up 
copies  of  their  campus  newspaper,  the  Massachusetts 
Daily  Collegian.  What  happens  to  these  papers  once 
they're  pici<ed  up,  however,  is  anyone's  guess.  For  sure, 
some  of^the  papers  are  actually  read  for  the  comics,  the 
advertisements,  used  for  the  crossword  puzzle  or  for  the 
dining  common  menu.  And  still  others  are  probably  used 
for  more  practical  things  like  wrapping  fish,  lining  the 
birdcage,  or  housebreaking  the  dog. 

What  much  of  the  University  community  doesn't  see  in 
the  paper,  however,  is  the  time  and  the  effort  that  goes 
into  producing  the  daily  product.  From  Sunday  through 
Thursday  each  week,  dozens  of  students  crowd  the  Colle- 
gian's windowless  offices  in  the  basement  of  the  Campus 
Center  to  write  or  edit  news  stories,  take  photographs, 
layout,  sell  advertising,  typeset,  or  paste  up  the  pages. 
Often  working  until  4  or  5  in  the  morning,  the  Collegian 
staff  members,  all  full-time  students,  work  to  perfect  their 
craft  in  the  hope  of  landing  a  job  in  the  "real  world"  upon 
graduation. 

But  resume  building  alone  cannot  explain  the  almost 
fanatical  devotion  most  staff  members  have.  In  past  years. 
Collegian  editors  and  staff  members  have  gone  to  great 
lengths,  doing  all  sorts  of  things  at  some  very  odd  hours  to 


insure  that  the  newspaper  comes  out,  as  promised. 

In  recent  years,  people  have  leaped  from  burning  cars 
to  run  the  paper  to  the  printers  before  reporting  the 
accident,  have  driven  through  blizzards,  have  gotten  out 
of  warm  beds  at  all  hours  of  the  morning  to  drive  to  the 
printers  in  Ware,  or  have  nearly  gotten  arrested  while 
driving  the  paper.  Other  people  nave  experienced  the 
agony  of  having  to  write,  edit,  and  then  deliver  the  paper 
the  following  morning,  of  losing  pages  of  the  paper,  or  of 
accidentally  dropping  them  into  mud  puddles. 

Above  all,  however,  there  are  the  happy  times  and  the 
fond  memories  of  the  paper's  successes  that  are  most 
cherished  by  members  of  the  staff.  When  a  particularly 
good  story  is  run,  when  the  community  has  oeen  made 
better  because  of  something  the  paper  has  done,  it  all 
sticks  out  prominently  in  the  minds  of  staff  members  for 
years  to  come. 

Long  after  everyone  has  left  the  University,  and  long 
before  any  of  the  staff  members  arrived,  the  Collegian  has 
flourishea.  But  while  the  paper  will  remain  an  institution, 
it  is  the  people  who  produce  it  that  give  it  the  extra- 
added  touch  and  make  it  just  a  little  bit  more  special.  And 
that  is  something  that  constantly  changes  ana  is  exciting 
to  experience.

UNION  PROGRAM  COUNCIL 


The  Union  Program  Council  is  the  largest  student  organi- 
zation on  campus  with  a  membership  of  over  250,  and  offers 
students  a  first  hand  opportunity  to  participate  in  concert 
production.  UPC's  programming  runs  the  gamut  of  con- 
temporary music-  from  Rock  'n  Roll  to  Folk  to  Jazz  to  Raggae 
to  New  Wave.  These  concerts  are  entirely  student  staffed, 
and  members  can  choose  to  work  on  stage  crew,  security, 
publicity,  or  any  other  facet  of  concert  production.  UMas- 
s/Amerst  is  one  of  the  few  universities  around  the  country 
where  concerts  are  entirely  student-produced,  and  this  pro- 
vides a  unique  learning  experience  for  its  members. 

In  addition  to  sponsoring  concerts  in  the  Fine  Arts  Center 
and  the  Student  Union  Ballroom,  UPC  is  also  responsible  for 
bringing  bands  to  the  Blue  Wall,  and  the  TOC.  Every  spring, 
UPC  helps  to  put  on  ojxutdoor  concerts  in  each  of  the 
residential  areas,  and  in  May,  sponsors  a  "Community  Day" 
program  in  the  stadium,  which  has  traditionally  been  free  to 
students.  Performers  at  this  event  have  included  Santana, 
the  Allman  Brothers  and  the  Greatful  Dead.

DISTINGUISHED  VISITOR'S  PROGRAM 


The  Distinguished  Visitors  Program  is  a  student-run, 
student-financed  organization  that  brings  writers,  politi- 
cal figures,  artists,  and  other  guest  lecturers  to  campus. 
Past  speakers  have  included  Dick  Gregory,  Jane  Fonda  and 
Tom  Hayden,  Angela  Davis,  George  McGovern,  Red  Sox 
stars  Bill  Lee  and  Carl  Yastrezmski,  Abbie  Hoffman,  and 
many  others. 

DVP  members  coordinate  all  aspects  of  program  pro- 
duction -  contacting  speakers,  generating  campus  public- 
ity, working  security,  and  providing  hospitality.  In  addi- 
tion, we  accept  and  review  proposals  for  speakers  from 
other  student  groups  and  individuals. 

Membership  in  DVP  is  earned  by  attending  three  con- 
secutive weekly  meetings,  and  not  missing  more  than 
three  subsequent  meetings  in  a  semester.  Members  of 
DVP  vote  on  outside  proposals,  generate  and  carry  out 
their  own  programs,and  assume  responsibility  keeping  all 
DVP  operations  running  smoothly.

NEWMAN  CLUB 


HILLEL 


The  Newman  Club  is  a  group  of  interested  students 
and  community  members  of  the  Catholic  Church  on 
campus.  Its  goal  is  to  help  make  University  life  more 
personal  and  meaningful  to  the  individual  student. 

Each  semester  the  club  promotes  activities  in  three 
areas  —  social,  spiritual,  and  service.  It  sponsers  spa- 
ghetti dinners,  cookouts,  dances,  intramural  teams,  Bi- 
ble studies,  camping  retreats,  and  guest  speakers. 

The  only  prerequisite  for  the  club  is  the  desire  for 
fun  and  self-satisfaction  through  the  sharing  of  ideas, 
values,  and  talents. 


Hillel  is  an  organization  serving  the  full  spectrum  of 
the  Jewish  community  as  well  as  the  general  communi- 
ty on  campus  in  a  number  of  ways:  socially,  through 
parties,  coffeehouses,  and  picnics;  educationally, 
through  one-credit  colloquia  and  the  Hillel  library;  cul- 
turally, through  frequent  films,  speakers,  Israeli  danc- 
ing, singing,  drama  groups,  and  the  annual  Jewish  Arts 
Festival;  religiuosly,  through  Shabbat  and  holiday  cele- 
brations and  study  groups;  and  geopolitically,  through 
travel,  study,  and  political  information  on  Israel.

The  Index,  the  yearbook  for  the  University  of  Massachusetts,  first  published  in  1869,  is  one  of  the  oldest  collegiate 
publications  of  it's  kind  in  the  nation.  The  Index  has  long  been  regarded  by  other  Universities  as  one  of  the  premier 
collegiate  yearbooks,  winning  awards  and  distinguishing  itself  for  excellence  in  nation  wide  competition. 

The  Index  does  not  rest  on  its  laurels  however,  as  each  year  a  new  staff  tries  to  build  upon  the  innovative  design,  high

GAMMA  SIGMA  SIGMA

A T !  O N  Al     S I R  V { CI    SO  t O R  Jl 

The  primary  purpose  of  Gamma  Sigma  Sigma  is  "to  unite  college  and  university  women  in  the 
spirit  of  service  to  humanity".  At  UMass,  members  of  the  organization  do  this  through  projects  like 
blood  drives,  used  book  exchanges,  reading  to  the  blind,  visiting  nursing  homes,  running  Las  Vegas 
Night  with  Alpha  Phi  Omega,  and  other  similar  projects  to  raise  money  for  charity. 

Gamma  Sigma  Sigma  is  not  all  work,  however.  Many  of  the  projects  are  a  lot  of  fun,  and  social 
events  are  held  with  other  chapters  and  Alpha  Phi  Omega.  Every  two  years,  a  national  convention 
gives  sisters  the  chance  to  meet  women  from  ail  over  the  United  States. 

Membership  in  Gamma  Sigma  Sigma  is  limited  to  those  women  willing  to  help  other  people.  Its 
only  requirement  is  that  you  be  willing  to  volunteer  your  time  to  bettering  someone  elses  life. 
Since  the  group  does  not  have  a  house,  a  sister's  social  life  can  be  as  broad  as  she  wants.

ALPHA  PHI  OMEGA 


Alpha  Phi  Omega  was  founded  for  the  purpose  of  providing  service  to  our  fellow  man.  Since  its 
founding  in  1925,  A  Phi  O  brothers  have  contributed  of  themselves  in  thousands  of  service  projects 
-  one  of  the  reasons  why  Alpha  Phi  Omega  has  grown  to  be  the  largest  fraternity  in  the  country. 

Here  at  the  University  of  Massachusetts,  our  chapter  has  a  varied  schedule  of  projects  to  which 
we  devote  our  time  each  year.  Some  of  these  include:  operating  the  "Ride  Board"  in  the  Student 
Union,  running  "Operation  Identification"  in  which  we  engrave  people's  valuables  in  an  attempt  to 
reduce  thievery,  and  even  clearing  a  section  of  the  Appalachian  Trail.  Our  main  event  of  the  year  is 
our  annual  "Las  Vegas  Night"  which  turns  the  entire  first  floor  of  the  Campus  Center  into  a  huge 
casino.  This  year  was  our  20th  annual  "Las  Vegas  Night"  and  over  the  year's  we  have  been  able  to 
donate  over  $20,000  to  local  and  national  charities. 

Our  activities  aren't  totally  service  oriented,  however.  We  hold  a  number  of  social  events 
throughout  the  year,  as  well. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega  has  been  known  and  respected  both  on  the  campus  and  throughout  the 
community  since  our  installation  here  29  years  ago.  Each  semester,  we  look  for  a  select  group  of 
individuals  who  we  feel  can  continue  to  exhibit  our  principles  of  outstanding  leadership,  friend- 
ship, and  service. 

Since  we  are  a  service  fraternity,  we  have  no  house;  our  members  live  in  dormitories  and  off 
campus.  If  you  are  interested  in  learning  more  about  Alpha  Phi  Omega,  we  will  be  having  open 
rushes  duirng  the  first  few  weeks  of  school.  Check  our  ads  in  the  Daily  Collegian  for  the  time  and 
dates,  tentatively  set  for  Sept.  14  and  21  in  the  Campus  Center.

Keeping  up  rhe  rradirion  as  New  England's  "reom-ro-beor",  the 
1980  women's  field  hockey  ream  once  again  wreaked  havoc 
over  all  local  comperirion,  shutting  our  12  teams,  going  17-1-1 
during  the  regular  season  and  at  one  point  being  ranked  second 
in  rhe  notion  behind  only  Penn  State. 

"We  were  young,"  third-year  coach  Pom  Hixon  said.  "We 
were  only  playing  one  senior  consistently.  We  went  one  game  at 
0  time  and  tried  to  improve  with  every  game." 

One  gome  at  o  time  is  how  they  went  .  .  .  right  to  the 
Regionals  held  this  year  at  Springfield  College.  The  Minutewomen 
had  won  the  tourney  the  previous  year  and  hod  gone  on  to 
place  seventh  at  the  Nationals.  Seeded  second  in  '80,  the  Masso- 
chusetts  squad  won  its  first  round,  dumping  the  University  of 
Rhode  Island  4-0.  They  advonced  to  the  semi-finals  where  they 
faced  the  University  of  Connecticut,  a  team  they  hod  beoten  2-1 
during  regular  season.  UConn  got  its  revenge  in  the  Regionals 
winning  the  gome  2-1  and  the  tournament. 

When  Sue  Copies,  a  junior  from  Weston,  scored  in  the  first  half 
ond  Freshmen  Goalie  Potty  Sheo  tallied  save  after  save,  it  looked 
like  UMA55  might  advance  to  the  finals.  In  the  second  and  fatal 
half,  a  questionable  coll  tied  the  game  and  sent  the  two  teams 
into  o  double  overtime  that  proved  fruitless.  After  two  stroke-offs, 
UConn  emerged  the  victor  by  a  single  score,  ond  put  an  end  to 
post  season  ploy  for  the  Minutewomen. 

The  women  allowed  just  six  gools  scored  against  them  during 
the  entire  regular  season  while  scoring  54.  Sheo  was  aided  on 
defense  by  freshmen  Cord  Progulski  and  Coroline  Kovonogh. 
Sophomore  Ro  Tudryn  ond  senior  Potti  Dossio  were  consistent 
in  shutting  down  offensive  drives  by  any  opposing  team.  On 
offense,  Minutewomon  Judy  Strong  (o  member  of  this  year's 
Olympic  team)  led  the  scoring  attack  with  31  goals  and  seven 
ossists.  She  was  followed  by  sophomore  Tino  Coffin  who  finished 
the  season  with  12  gools  ond  five  ossists. 

Cooch  Hixon  expects  the  entire  team  bock  (with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  groduoting  seniors)  in  what  could  ogoin  prove  ro  be 
the  "teom-to-beot"!

Someone,  somerime,  long  ogo,  soid  o  lirrle  rain  never  hurr 
anyone.  If  you  were  ro  soy  rhor  ro  any  nnennber  of  rhe  1980 
University  of  Mossochuserrs  foorbol!  ream,  you  v^ouid  probably 
receive  a  punch  in  rhe  nose. 

UMass  rollback  Garry  Pearson  sor  rhere,  afrer  UMoss  hod 
beoren  Connecricur  39-21,  shaking  his  head.  A  smile  was  rhere, 
bur  a  sod  one. 

"You  know,"  Garry  Pearson  said,  "I'd  give  onyrhing  ro  ploy 
DU  again  in  dry  weorher.  When  we  played  ogainsr  rhem,  well, 
ir  jusr  wasn't  foorboli." 

Whor  ir  was,  in  focr,  was  a  season. 

Bur,  ir  will  be  remembered  as  a  good  one.  A  season  rhor 
produced  a  defense  rhar  led  rhe  norion  (Division  1-AA)  in  rorol 
defense;  a  season  rhor  produced  a  premier  running  bock  in  New 
England;  o  seoson  rhor  produced  o  7-3  record,  ond  a  camarade- 
rie rhor  goes  beyond  wins  and  losses. 

Ir  oil  began  ironically  enough,  on  a  sunny  Seprember  afrer- 
noon  or  Alumni  Sradium.  The  Wildcors  of  Villanova  came  norrh, 
favored  by  rwo  rouchdowns  ro  bear  rhe  Minuremen,  who  hod 
failed  ro  score  in  rheir  only  pre-seoson  scrimmage  or  Darrmourh. 
Everyone  rhoughr  rhor  Vilionovo  would  win. 

Dur,  UMoss  used  rhe  running  of  Pearson  and  senior  fullback 
Brian  Heyworth  ro  upser  rhe  Wildcors  24-12.  Pearson  scored 
20  of  his  ream's  poinrs  wirh  rhree  rouchdowns  and  o  rwo-poinr 
conversion  corch,  rushing  for  119  yards  while  Heyworth  bulled

his  way  for  101.  Dur,  few  observer  would  concede  rhor  ir  was 
norhing  more  rhon  a  fluke.  An  upser. 

The  following  week,  rhe  Minuremen  handed  riny  Delaware 
Srare  a  less  rhon  hospiroble  Mossochuserrs  welcome,  shurring  our 
rhe  Homers  39-0  in  a  gome  rhor  was  over  when  rhe  rwo  reams 
rook  rhe  field.  Pearson  scored  o  couple,  quorrerbock  Tim  Fon- 
taine rhrew  a  few  more,  a  couple  ro  senior  righrend  Mike 
Barbiasz,  and  people  began  ro  scrorch  rheir  chins  and  wonder, 
maybe,  jusr  maybe,  rhis  ream  is  for  real. 

Week  Three  found  UMoss  down  in  Kingsron,  R.l.  for  rheir  firsr 
Yankee  Conference  gome  ogoinsr  rhe  Universiry  of  Rhode  Is- 
land. The  Minuremen  came  bock  ro  Amhersr  wirh  a  6-8  vicrory 
over  rhe  Rams.  Afrer  giving  up  jusr  20  poinrs  in  rhree  gomes,  rhe 
UMqss  defense  began  ro  be  noriced.  They  forged  rheir  way  ro 
rhe  rop  of  rhe  norion 's  besr  overall  defense,  a  posirion  rhey  did 
nor  give  up  for  rhe  resr  of  rhe  year. 

And,  rhen,  rhe  rains  began.  i  % 

Ir  was  drizzly  and  cold  rhe  ofrernoon  of  Ocrober  11,  when  rhe 
Minuremen  rook  on  rhe  Fighren'  Blue  Hens  of  Delaware  in  rhe 
UMqss  Homecoming  gome.  The  roil-gorers  were  rhere,  early, 
chomping  hordogs  and  quaffing  beers  in  onriciparion  of  o  close 
foorboli  gome  berween  rwo  of  rhe  finesr  Eosrern  reams  in 
Division  1-AA. 

The  gome  ended  wirh  nine  seconds  lefr. 

UMoss  and  Delaware  did  borrle  on  a  slick  field.  Ir  was  mosriy  a 
gome  of  defense.  Pearson  score  wirh  six  minures  lefr  and  rhe 
Minuremen  hod  seemingly  pulled  off  onorher  upser  of  a  nonleo- 
gue  opponenr;  on  upser  which  would  moke  on  NCAA  playoff 
bid  oil  rhe  more  reolizoble.  Ir  didn'r  happen. 

Delaware  quorrerbock  Rick  Scully  lofred  o  pass  which  receiv- 
er Ed  Wood  pulled  down  in  rhe  endzone  for  o  21-17  win. 

The  rain  conrinued  up  in  beauriful  downrown  Orono,  where 
rhe  Minuremen  rrovelled  ro  roke  on  rhe  Block  Beors  of  Maine 
and  New  England's  leading  rusher  in  Lorenzo  Douier.  Douier 
gor  off  one  77-yQrd  rouchdown  jounr,  bur  rhe  UMoss  defense, 
led  by  senior  John  Alien,  rockles  Dan  Petrie,  Eric  Cregan, 
defense  aids  George  Lewis  ond  Frank  DiTommaso,  end  line- 
backers Scott  Crowell  and  Pete  DiTommaso,  ollowed  rhe 


rolenred  Douier  rojusr  40  oddirionol  yards  as  UMoss  wenr  on  ro 
win  rhe  gome  21-14. 

And,  rhen  came  BU. 

Calling  ir  a  foorboli  gome  would  be  polire. 

"When  you  allow  rhree  poinrs,  you  expecr  ro  win,"  sold 
UMoss  head  coach  Bob  Pickett. 

UMoss  ollowed  rhree  poinrs.  They  did  nor  win. 

In  o  whipping  wind  rhor  sloshed  rain  obour  BU's  Nickerson 
Field  rhe  Minuremen  played  o  slip  ond  slide  gome  of  foorboli  or 
mid-field  wirh  Bosron  Universiry.  Ir  ended  3-0,  a  32-yard  field 
goal  by  rhe  rerriers'  Jeff  Pelin  being  rhe  only  scoring. 

"I  don'r  wonr  ro  moke  excuses,"  Pickett  was  saying,  rain  srill 
dripping  off  his  soaked  face  15  minures  afrer  rhe  gome's  end. 
"Bur  we  ployed  rhe  weorher  rodoy,  ond  BU  bear  rhe  weorh- 
er." 

The  UConn  game  followed  rhe  nexr  week,  bur  rhe  magic 
hod  been  dimmed.  UMqss  venred  some  of  rheir  frusrrorions  or 
rhe  expense  of  rhe  Huskies.  Pearson  and  Heyworth  were  up  ro 
rheir  old  rricte.  Pearson  rushed  for  his  season  high,  q  222-yard 
efforr,  while  Heyworth  rambled  for  110  himself,  leading  rhe 
Minuremen  ro  o  39-21  vicrory  over  UConn  before  12,146  or 
Alumni  Sradium. 

The  Minuremen  won  rhe  gome,  bur  losr  rheir  quorrerbock 
and  coproin.  Fontaine  rook  o  helmer  in  rhe  bock  ond  suffered  a 
bruised  kidney  and  a  crocked  verrebro,  requiring  hospirolizorion

for  nearly  a  monrh.  Tri-coproin  Fred  Read  broke  an  ankle  and 
was  sidelined  for  rhe  remoining  rhree  gomes. 

Sophomore  quorrerbock  Dan  Pecevich  and  back-up  cenrer 
Victor  Pizzotti  srepped  in  and  UMoss  never  looked  bock. 

Ir  wos  obour  o  half  hour  afrer  UMoss  hod  come  from  behind 
ro  defeor  Holy  Cross  17-13  rhor  Pickerr  asked  rhe  medio  ro  srep 
ourside  of  rhe  locker  room  for  o  few  minures. 

For  rhe  firsr  rime  in  four  years  UMoss  would  nor  hove  o 
Yankee  Conference  rirle.  BU  serried  rhor  when  rhey  defeored 
UConn  in  rhe  losr  minure  on  rhor  some  blusrery  ofrernoon. 

Bur  o  cheer  wenr  up  in  rhe  UMoss  locker  room  anyway.  The 
gome  boll  wos  vored  ro  Fontaine,  so  o  cheer  wenr  up. 

The  losr  Yankee  Conference  gome  was  o  17-0  win  over  New 
Hampshire;  memorable  only  for  rhe  defensive  efforr  which  rhe 
Minuremen  rurned  in  before  rhe  Fomily  Day  crowd  or  Alumni. 

This  losr  gome  said  ir  oil:  ir  was  Bosron  College,  rhe  boys  from 
Chesrnur  Hill  who  ger  oil  rhe  norice,  oil  rhe  ink,  ogoinsr  rhe  boys 
from  UMoss,  rhe  kids  who  scrope  and  fighr  for  everyrhing  rhey 
ger.  In  rhe  end,  BC  gor  rhe  bragging  righrs  —  bur  nor  v\/irhour  o 
fighr. 

The  Minuremen  foughr  bock,  and  in  rhe  waning  seconds,  soid 
ro  hell  wirh  o  rie  ond  wenr  for  rhe  win.  The  rwo-poinr  conversion 
failed,  and  rhe  papers  and  radios  ond  TVs  were  off  ogoin, 
singing  proises  of  rhe  Eogles,  while  rhe  scruffy  kids  from  UMoss 
wolked  bock  ro  rhe  locker  room  wirh  o  13-12  loss. 

A  few  rhings  srood  our  rhis  seoson:  Heyworth  scoring  his  one

Hard  work.  The  Universiry  of  Mossochuserrs  Marching 
Bond.  The  rwo  hove  become  virruolly  inseperoble.  Hours  of 
hard  work  hove  ployed  on  imporronr  role  in  rhe  quoliry  of  rhe 
bond's  performonces.  1980  wos  o  big  yeor  for  rhe  Minure- 
mon  Bond,  rmorked  by  several  appearances  on  network 
relevision,  porriciporion  in  Boston's  Jubilee  050  Grand  Parade, 
rhe  first  Northeast  Pvegionol  Music  Bowl  (hosted  by  UMoss  and 
the  Minutemon  Bond),  the  band's  first  oppeoronce  or  o 
professional  football  gome,  and  the  selection  as  THE  collegiate 
bond  to  represent  the  Northeast  in  the  1981  Inougurol  Porode. 
Throughout  rhe  season,  appreciative  and  vocal  crowds  re- 
sponded to  "The  Power  and  Class  of  New  England"  wirh 
rousing  ovations,  somehow  repaying  the  band's  efforts  multi- 
fold. 

The  Boston  Jubilee  050  Grand  Porode  followed  the  sea- 
son's first  field  show,  September  20  vs.  Villonovo,  ond  Dela- 
ware Store  was  in  town  the  next  Saturday.  Bond  members 
hod  the  first  weekend  in  October  off,  but  the  next  weekend 
started  a  schedule  that  kept  the  bond  busy  every  weel'^end 
through  November  22. 

The  UMoss-Boston  University  football  gome  was  the  firsr 
rime  the  bond  oppeored  on  live  television,  but  it's  doubtful 
that  bond  members  or  any  fon  who  was  or  rhe  gome  will 
remember  that  small  detail.  Dubbed  the  "B.U.  Monsoon," 
some  people  were  surprised  when  the  bond  lined  up  to 
moke  its  holftime  oppeoronce.  However,  despite  the  adverse 


conditions,  the  bond  managed  to  deliver  o  "sterling,  although 
slightly  damp"  performonce. 

The  monrh  of  November  brought  the  University  of  Con- 
necticut and  the  Husky  Marching  Bond  to  UMoss,  ond  an 
unplanned  (by  UConn,  anyway)  appearance  of  the  "UMoss 
Husky".  The  Husky  is,  of  course,  the  Connecticut  moscot.  But, 
it  seems  he  was  "misguided"  by  on  ambitious  group  of  UMoss 
bond  members,  and  decided  to  defect.  His  oppeoronce  in  a 
UMoss  r-shirt  really  disrressed  some  UConn  fans,  and  porriculor- 
ly  rhe  UConn  bond  members,  bur  fortunately,  o  peaceful 
rerurn  was  negotiated  before  holftime. 

During  rhe  recording  sessions  that  follow  every  field  season, 
Presidenr-Elect  Ronald  Reagan's  Inougurol  Committee  invited 
the  bond  to  porricipote  in  the  1981  Inaugural  Parade.  With 
strong  support  from  Chancellor  Henry  Koffler  and  the  Alumni 
Association,  the  bond  was  able  to  porricipore. 

The  Minuremon  Bond  wos  rhe  seventh  unit  in  the  firsr 
division  of  the  Inaugural  Parade.  All  the  hard  work  really  paid 
off  here,  as  the  "Power  and  Closs  of  New  England"  let  it  be 
known  that  Massachusetts  and  the  Northeast  were  well  re- 
presented. The  porode,  and  participation  in  a  special  concert 
on  the  Capitol  steps  afterwords,  mode  a  particularly  exciting 
step  into  the  notional  limelight  for  rhe  bond,  ond  capped  on 
equally  exciring  season.

"I'm  glad  ir's  over,"  senior  fullback  Scott  Cooper  said  offer  rhe 
1980  University  of  Mossochuserrs  men's  soccer  ream  hod  played 
rheir  losr  game  of  o  disappointing  season.  Cooper  was  on  rhe 
ream  in  1978  v^hen  at  one  time  they  were  13th  in  rhe  counrry 
and  finished  rhe  season  with  a  12-5-0  record.  He  was  on  rhe  teom 
in  1979  when  they  were  12th  in  New  England  with  7-5-2. 

Head  coach  Russ  Kidd  arrributed  rhe  losing  season  ro  the 
youth  on  rhe  team.  "We  had  eight  new  srorrers,  a  whole  new 
bacWield  and  a  new  goal  keeper,"  he  said. 

Junior  Tony  M.  Dios  from  Ludlow  led  all  scorers  wirh  seven 
goals  and  four  assists  for  11  points.  Tony  G.  Dios,  high  school  ream 
mote  (no  relation)  of  Tony  M.  followed  with  four  goals  ond  three 
assisrs.  Ir  was  Tony  G.  who  booted  the  boll  into  the  net  with 
merely  o  micro-second  remaining  in  rhe  gome,  ro  give  rhe 
Minuremen  a  come-from-behind  (2-1)  victory  over  rhe  Universiry 
of  Vermonr  midway  rhrough  rhe  season.  Earlier  in  that  game, 
Tony  G.  hod  tied  the  score  at  1-1  off  a  pass  from  Tony  M. 

The  Minuremen  started  the  season  off  with  the  Keene  Store 
Kickoff  Classic,  winning  one  (Keene  State)  and  losing  one  (Covis  & 
Elkins).  They  were  shut  out  in  the  firsr  two  home  battles,  by 
Dridgeporr  (1-0)  and  Southern  Connecricur  (4-0)  and  rallied  their 
second  win  over  Williams  College  in  Williomstown.  They  got  o 
break  that  afternoon  when  Tony  M.  scored  the  gome  winner  off 
o  penalry  shor,  his  second  goal  in  the  gome.  Denny  Walsh  got 
his  first  goal  as  a  vorsiry  soccermon  against  Williams,  giving  UMoss 
a  3-0  lead  before  the  Ephmen  got  their  first  and  only  goal. 

The  two  final  wins  come  in  front  of  the  home  town  fans,-  a  2-0 
New  Hampshire  shut  out  in  early  October  and  a  2-1  win  over 
Springfield  in  rhe  season  finale. 

Junior  forword  Rick  Wosmund  scored  both  in  that  season 
finale,  the  first  coming  or  rhe  holfrime  buzzer  ro  tie  the  score  or  1-1 
and  the  second  with  27:07  left  in  rhe  game,  to  give  Moss,  the 
win. 

In  addition  to  Cooper,  coach  Kidd  will  lose  seniors  Julie  Avilo 
and  John  Thomas  to  groduorion  and  will  try  to  build  another 
winning  team  without  them.

The  Universiry  of  Mossochuserrs  women's  soccer  ream 
has,  plain  and  simply,  gone  from  good  ro  greor  ro  rerrific. 
They  srorred  in  rhe  foil  of  1976  with  o  volunteer  coach  and 
14  members  who  mer  occasionally  ro  scrimmage.  The  fol- 
lowing yeor  rhey  posted  an  11-2-1  record  os  a  club.  They 
hove  culminated  five  years  of  building  by  hoving  halfback 
Madeline  Mongini  named  to  the  All-American  first  team, 
the  only  player  from  New  England  to  make  the  first  All 
American  women's  soccer  squad. 

"Moddie"  Mongini  was  nomed  ro  the  team,  at  the 
close  of  rhe  1980  seoson,  o  season  in  which  UMoss  went  15- 
3-1,  induding  13  shutouts,  ond  finished  third  in  the  Eastern 
Association  for  Intercollegiate  Athletics  for  Women  (EAIAW) 
Tournament. 

"The  team  was  good  but  it  was  disappointing  thot  we 
didn't  finish  first  or  second.  I  thought  we  could  hove,"  first 
year  heod-cooch  Kolekeni  Dondo  said. 

Dondo,  a  UMoss  grod  who  lertered  in  soccer  and  track,  is 
the  women's  track  coach  ccer  a  t  as  well  as  the  soccer 
mentor.  He  is  responsible  for  a  change  in  the  Minutewo- 
men's  strategy  that  resulted  in  their  going  11-1  with  ten 
shutouts  during  the  final  part  of  the  seoson.  "We  switched 
the  formation  to  give  us  more  control  over  rhe  midfield. 
After  the  change,  no  one  scored  a  goal  on  us  until  going  into 
the  tournoment,"  he  said.  Donda  switched  from  a  3  for- 
ward-3  hQlfback-4  fullback  formation  to  a  2-4-4  lineup.  And 
after  thot,  they  were  unbearable,  adding  team  after  team 
to  their  scrop  heap  of  shurouts.  "We  gove  the  other  teams 
tough  times.  Not  too  many  hove  seen  the  4-4-2." 

The  Minurewomen  outscored  their  opponents  22-0  in  the 
final  stretch  before  the  EAIAW's  behind  the  consistent  scor- 


ing of  Mongini  (9  goals  and  5  ossisrs  during  the  season)  ond 
fullback  Noncy  Feldmon  (13  goals),  and  the  impenetrable 
gooltending  of  senior  co-coptoin  Kelly  Tuller,  who  is  cred- 
ited with  oil  13  shurouts. 

A  2-0  win  over  Smirh  College  wos  the  dincher,  putting  the 
soccerwomen  into  the  Easterns.  The  win  gave  UMoss  a 
home  field  odvontoge  in  the  first  round  of  rhe  tournomenr. 
Afrer  that  they  closed  the  seoson  with  o  3-0  win  over  rhe 
Universiry  of  New  Hampshire,  the  lost  regular  season  gome 
for  senior  co-caproins  Tuller  and  fullback  Eloine  Content. 

A  Nino  Holmstrom  tolly  at  20:17  in  the  firsr  half,  pushed 
UMoss  inro  the  semifinals  of  the  tournament  with  a  1-0 
squeaker  over  rhe  Universiry  of  Vermonr.  The  Minurewo- 
men hod  losr  ro  UVM  1-0  during  the  regulor  season  and 
settled  the  score  cutting  the  Catamounts  from  any  further 
post-season  ploy.  Holmstrom  and  Natalie  Prosser  played 
hurr  in  rhor  game  and  according  ro  Dondo,  the  injuries  ore 
what  held  UMoss  to  a  third  ploce  in  the  tournament. 

With  28  seconds  left  to  ploy,  the  Universiry  of  Connecticut 
knocked  the  UMoss  booters  out  of  contention  with  the  tolly 
that  gave  UConn  o  2-1  victory  and  a  berth  in  the  finals. 
UMoss  beat  Harvard  in  the  consolation  round  ro  rake  the 
third  spot. 

The  season  was  over  ...  but  not  before  Dondo  hod 
added  o  little  to  on  organization  rhar  continues  to  grow.  For 
the  '81  seoson,  Dondo  expects  his  entire  teom,  with  the 
exceptions  of  Tuller  ond  Contont,  bock.  "The  whole  contin- 
gent is  coming  bock  and  I'm  expecting  a  whole  lot  from 
them,"  he  said.

The  women's  boskerball  ream  compiled  o  14-14  record 
rhroughour  rheir  roughest  schedule  in  rhe  five  years  Mary  Ann 
Ozdorski  has  been  cooch. 

Ir  wos  bosicQily  o  rebuilding  year  for  rhe  ream  because  of  irs 
inexperience  os  four  different  freshmen  played  in  rhe  starring 
lineup  or  vorious  times  in  the  season.  The  loss  of  Sue  Peters  left 
o  gaping  hole  in  the  teom's  offensive  production,  Peters,  who 
signed  on  to  play  professionally  with  rhe  New  Orleans  Pride  of 
rhe  Women's  Basketball  League,  wos  no  longer  oround  to 
provide  her  twenty-plus  points  a  game  average,  pinpoint 
posses,  or  key  steals  when  the  ream  needed  the  boll.  In  losing 
her  to  groduorion,  the  team  lost  a  "secure  port  of  the  pro- 
gram" according  to  Ozdorski. 

Once  ogoin  ploying  mognificienrly,  rhough,  was  senior  co- 
coptoin  Julie  Ready.  Ready  hod  o  simply  awesome  year, 
providing  rhe  leadership  along  w'  ^he  other  co-captain  Gin- 
ger Legore,  that  had  been  provioc-d  by  Peters  in  posr  years. 
Ready  averaged  20.7  points  per  gome  and  9.2  rebounds.  Her 
581  poinrs  for  rhe  year  gove  her  1046  career  points,  purring  her 
second  on  rhe  all-rime  UMoss  scoring  list  behind  Peters  while 
her  257  rebounds  gove  her  831  over  rhe  three  and  a  half 
years  she  wos  or  rhe  school  for  leadership  on  rhe  all-rime  lisr. 
Among  her  occomplishmenrs  were  rhe  nomination  for  rhe 
Wode  rrophy  for  rhe  best  womon  basketball  ployer  in  rhe 
nation,  MVP  of  the  Syracuse  Tournament,  selecrion  ro  rhe 
EAIAW  All-Region  Division  I  ream,  selecrion  ro  rhe  Queen's  and 
Providence  All-Tourney  reams,  and  rhe  MVP  oword  for  wom- 
en's boskerboll  by  rhe  Mossochuserts  Sporrs  Club. 

This  was  o  season  rhor  looked  very  promising  for  rhe  Min- 
urewomen  in  rhe  firsr  two  monrhs.  They  went  4-4  in  De- 
cember ond  rhen  8-3  in  January  when  rhey  played  rhe 
toughest  parr  of  rheir  difficult  schedule  which  included  power- 
houses such  OS  Indiana,  rhe  Universiry  of  Virginia,  East  Carolina, 


Norrhwesrern,  Temple,  Georgetown,  Syracuse  and  Monrdair 
Srore  in  rhe  four  rournomenrs  rhey  played. 

February  was  nor  o  good  monrh,  ro  soy  rhe  very  leosr.  A 
heartbreaking  loss  or  rhe  hands  of  Springfield  College  in  which 
UMoss  lost  the  leod  in  the  last  seven  minutes  may  hove  hurr 
their  confidence.  Ir  rook  rhirreen  days  ond  rhee  more  losses 
before  rhey  got  bock  a  positive  feeling,  defeoting  Central 
Connecricut  ond  then  Southern  Connecricur  in  -overrime,  ro 
quolify  for  rhe  Eastern  Regionols. 

Key  gomes  of  rhe  season  induded  beoring  Syracuse  Universi- 
ry on  irs  home  courr  in  rhe  Syracuse  Tournomenr,  knocking  off 
Princeron  on  rhe  rood  ofrer  coming  from  fourteen  poinrs  down 
in  o  rremendous  room  efforr,  ond  o  one  poinr  loss  ro  Indiono  in 
o  gome  which  borely  slipped  Through  rheir  fingers  in  rhe 
Queen's  Tournomenr. 

There  were  several  brighr  spors  emerging  from  rhis  sel 
Ginger  Legore  played  ro  rhe  besr  of  her  obiliry,  providing  9.2 
poinrs  and  7.6  rebounds  o  gome  while  doing  oil  rhe  lirrle  things 
well.  Junior  guard  Sherry  Collins  leod  rhe  ream  in  ossisrs  wirh 
78  ond  mode  many  o  clurch  sreol. 

Perhaps  rhe  biggesr  brighr  spor  besides  rhe  gursy  ploy  of 
Ready  ond  Legore  was  rhe  job  of  the  four  freshmen  did. 
Forward  Nodine  Jackson  was  on  inrimidaring  force  on  rhe  .'  , 
boords  all  year  long,  overoging  8.3  rebounds  a  gome  including  * 
20  agoinsr  Sourhern  Connecticut.  Guord  Wendy  Word 
emerged  as  o  fine  player,  second  on  rhe  ream  in  ossisrs  wirh  77 
ond  rops  in  steols  with  41,  Cindy  Clopp  and  Jenny  Gray 
proved  ro  be  very  sound  fundomenroliy.  The  four  played 
exrremely  well  considering  rhe  difficulr  rronsirion  from  o  limited 
high  school  schedule  to  the  September  ro  March  college  grind.

The  men's  Varsiry  Lacrosse  ream  hod  perhaps  rheir 
lesr  season  egver  in  1981,  finishing  fourrh  in  rhe  notion 
wirh  o  13-1  record  in  rhe  regular  season  before  losing  ro 
Virginia  in  rhe  NCAA  playoffs. 

Coach  Dick  Gorber's  "Gorillas"  played  exciring  la- 
crosse all  season  long,  combining  on  expolsive  offense 
yvirh  a  righr  defense.  They  opened  up  rhe  seoon  wirh 
their  firsr-ever  vicrory  over  a  pernnially  strong  Cornell 
ream,  16-8.  This  vicrory  begon  a  ren-gome  winning 
srreak  for  rhe  Minuremen,  including  sorisfying  victories 
over  Hobarr  in  overrime  and  Rurgers.  Their  first  loss 
came  ot  the  hands  of  Army,  14-10, 

The  next  game  against  Syracuse  wos  played  before 
8,000  screoming  UMoss  fans,  the  largest  crowd  ever  ro 
witness  a  lacrosse  game  in  New  England.  UMass  gor  off 
ro  their  hobiruolly  poor  starr,  rroiling  or  the  half  by  a  6-4 
margin.  Syracuse  odded  onorher  goal  early  in  rhe  third 
quarter  ro  rake  a  rhree-goal  lead  before  UMass  ex- 
ploded. Junior  Jim  Weiler  scored  rhree  srraighr  goals 
1:05  apart  to  tie  the  score,  7-7.  Tri-coptoin  Chris  Corin 
followed  with  three  srraighr  rallies  of  his  own  as  UMoss 
never  looked  back  and  rolled  ro  a  12-8  vicrory.  Conrri- 
buting  ourstonding  defensive  efforrs  ro  the  victory 
were  midfielded  Roy  Cozzi  and  rri-caprain  defense- 
man  Paul  Kinnone  who  held  Syracuse's  leading  scor- 
er ro  one  gool  and  on  assist  and  their  second  leading 
scorer  to  no  points  at  all. 

UMoss  capped  the  reguor  season  wirh  victories  over 
New  Hampshire  and  Dartmouth.  They  were  ranked 
fourth  in  the  final  regular  season  notional  poll  which 
should  hove  given  them  the  home-field  advantage  in 
the  opening  round  tournainent  game  with'  Virginia. 
However,  rhe  NCAA  commirree  ruled  rhot  Doyden 
field  was  not  acceptable  ond  did  not  give  UMoss  suffi- 
cient time  to  find  an  alternare  playing  sire.  Thus,  UMass 
troveled  down  to  Virginio  ro  ploy  on  o  wet  ostrorurf 


field.  The  Minurmen  conrorlled  rhe  gome  in  the  early 
ploy,  roking  a  3-1  lead  wirh  rhe  opporruniry  ro  hove 
token  a  big  lead  hod  it  not  been  for  some  key  saves  by 
rhe  Virginia  goalkeeper.  Virginia  come  back  wirh  five 
goals  on  six  shors  ro  rake  o  7-4  leod  at  holffime.  UMoss 
norrowed  rhe  lead  to  8-6  in  the  third  quarter  bur  that 
was  OS  close  as  they  would  get.  Virginia  reeled  off  four 
or  five  gools  in  o  row  en  roure  to  a  16-12  victory, 
ending  rhe  season  for  UMoss. 

The  13  vicrories  by  UMass  were  rhe  most  ever. 
Victories  over  Drown,  Dorrmourh,  and  Horvord  gove 
rhe  Minuremen  yet^gpther  New  England  champion- 
ship. 

TIfie  Minuremen  attack  unit  of  Weller,  Corin,  and 
Lee"Skip"  Vosburgh  set  o  notional  scoring  record  by 
ottockmen.  Weller's  62  goals  (a  UMoss  record)  pur 
him  second  on  the  oll-rime  UMoss  goal-scoring  lisr  wirh 
118  while  his  98  points  (also  o  school  record)  put  him 
third  in  career  poinrs.  Corin  hod  49  goals  and  35  assists

The  Varsiry  baseball  ream  compiled  o  22-17  record  in  1981, 
including  a  4-4  record  in  rhe  Eosrern  Eighr,  which  kepr  rhem  our  of 
posr-season  play. 

The  Minuremen  exhibited  a  porenr  offensive  arracl^,  hirring 
.303  as  Q  ream.  However,  on  inconsisrenr  pirching  staff  contribut- 
ed to  their  downfall.  The  staff  ERA  wos  o  whopping  5.77  os 
opposed  ro  on  opponent  ERA  of  5.50.  Thus,  they  were  involved 
in  mony  high  scoring  gomes. 

Eorly  in  rhe  season  people  did  not  pick  the  Minutemen  to  be 
thor  good.  However,  rhe  team  quickly  showed  that  they  could 
play  with  any  team  in  the  nation  by  completing  o  successful  5-6 
record  in  rhe  highly  competitive  Sun-Lit  Classic  at  Son  Diego  State. 
They  then  opened  up  their  Eostern  schedule  wirh  a  split  of  a 
doubleheader  with  o  Maine  ream  that  would  ploy  in  the  College 
World  Series.  This  was  followed  by  a  doubleheader  sweep  of 
Norrheastern  and  o  win  over  American  Internarional. 

The  team's  downfall  come  during  a  week  in  which  rhey  losr  a 
pair  of  doubleheoders  to  Eastern  Eight  opponents  Rhode  Island 
ond  Rurgers,  gomes  which  they  had  ro  win  if  they  wanted  o  posr- 
season  rournomenr  berrh.  Since  UMoss  was  not  in  rhe  ECAC,  rhey 
had  ro  either  win  rhe  Eastern  Eighr  or  hove  on  outstanding  record 
and  hope  ro  be  selected  as  on  ot-lorge  enrry.  These  four  losses 
gave  rhem  o  4-4  record  in  Eosrern  Eighr  Norrh  ploy,  desrroying 
their  playoff  hopes.  UMoss  did  finish  rhe  season  on  fire,  winning 
nine  of  rheir  final  rv^elve  games. 

UMass  hod  a  good  season,  olrhough  nor  o  greor  one,  according 
ro  Head  Coach  Dick  Dergquist.  They  were  omong  rhe  top  four  in 
rhe  weekly  New  England  poll  up  unril  the  lost  week  of  the  season. 


There  were  a  number  of  fine  individuol  performances.  Senior 
catcher  Jim  Aulenbock,  selected  os  team  MVP,  proved  that  he 
was  an  excellent  professional  catching  prospea,  getting  seleaed 
by  the  Seattle  Marines  in  the  regular  phose  of  the  major  league 
draft.  He  hir  .311  with  5  home  runs  and  27  runs  borred  in.  He  also 
led  the  ream  in  his  hits  with  45.  Combining  his  offensive  power 
wirh  his  defensive  consisrency,  he  was  selecred  to  the  All-New 
Englond  second  teom  to  ploy  in  the  Eost-West  All-Sror  game  or 
Fenway  Pork  for  New  England  players.  Freshman  Keith  Lovelette 
was  0  rhorn  in  the  side  of  opposing  pitchers  all  season.  The  righr 
fielded  led  rhe  ream  in  barring  (.335,44  hirs)  and  RBI's  (30), 

The  ream  broke  rhe  UMoss  record  for  home  runs  in  a  season 
wirh  38.  Junior  first  baseman  Wdrren  McReddie  tied  the  UMoss 
individual  home  run  record  wirh  8  ro  go  along  with  26  RBI's  and  a 
.309  batting  averoge.  Senior  lefrfielder  John  Krohom  had  seven 
home  runs  and  26  RBI's.  Senior  shortstop  Vin  Bononno  had  41-hits 
for  o  .320  average.  Senior  cenrerfielder  Mork  Litono  hir  rhe  boll 
hard  mosr  of  rhe  season,  driving  in  23  runs,  hirting  .303  ond 
leading  the  team  in  runs  scored  wirh  31.  Senior  Borry  Dennett 
played  on  excellent  third  base.  Hirring  poorly  in  rhe  early  going,  he 
finished  strong  wirh  o  297  averoge,  driving  in  25  runs.  His  brorher, 
second  baseman  Dean,  hir  o  .333  with  44  hits  and  17  stolen 
bases. 

Senior  pircher  Chuck  Thompson  was  also  seleaed-  to  play  in 
the  East-West  All-Srar  game,  posring  on  8-2  record.  Steve  Cromer 
(6-3,3.88ERA)  won  rhe  Delia  Piano  Award  for  dererminarion,

Chamber  Music 


The  opening  classical  music  performances  in  the 
spring  season  at  the  University  of  Massachusetts 
Fine  Arts  Center  were  Music  from  Marlboro. 

Formed  in  1965  to  provide  touring  and  playing 
experience  for  young  artists.  Music  from  Marlboro 
has,  according  to  the  New  York  Times,  become  a 
national  resource  "as  valuable  as  a  national  forest 
and  should  be  under  protection  of  Congress."  With 
Rudolph  Serkin  as  its  artistic  director,  the  Ver- 
mont-based program  has  nurtured  dozens  of 
world-famous  musicians. 

Nineteen-year-old  pianist  Cecile  Licad,  who  per- 
formed during  the  Amherst  concert,  is  one  excit- 
ing example:  she  was  recently  honored  with  the 
Gold  Medal  Award  from  the  Leventritt  Foundation. 
The  award  was  reinstated  after  a  ten-year  hiatus 
especially  for  her.  Also  appearing  at  the  Fone  Arts 
Center  concert  were  Joseph  Swenson,  violin,  Sarah 
Clarke,  viola,  and  Rocco  Filippini,  cello. 

The  Fine  Arts  Center  was  lucky  to  welcome  the 
renowned  chamber  enseble.  The  Academy  of  St. 
Martin  in  the  Fields,  during  Its  first  North  Ameri- 
can tour.  Composed  of  sixteen  of  the  world's  fin- 
est musicians.  The  Academy  of  St.  Martin  in  the 
Fields  is  one  of  the  most  widely  recorded  ensem- 
bles in  the  world  and  thus  is  known  to  music  lovers 
everywhere. 

The  Academy  of  St.  Martin  in  the  Fields  was 
formed  in  1959  when  some  of  the  principal  players 
of  the  London  Symphony  Orchestra  were  given  an 
opportunity  to  fulfill  a  long-held  tradition-  to  play 
Baroque  music  in  the  Church  of  St.  Martin  in  the 
Fields.  Other  superb  players  joined  them  and  thus 
the  Academy  came  into  being.

On  Wednesday,  March  18,  the  audience  of  the 
Fine  Arts  Center  was  entertained  by  four  talented 
young  men  from  Japan.  The  Tokyo  String  Quartet 
started  as  students  of  the  Juilliard  School  of  Music 
in  New  York  City.  They  formed  as  a  quartet  in  1969. 

In  1970,  they  played  in  two  student  competitions. 
The  first  was  the  Coleman  String  Quartet  Competi- 
tion in  Pasadena,  California,  in  which  they  won 
first  prize.  Their  second  competition  was  in  Mu- 
nich, during  which  they  again  won. 

Since  then,  the  Quartet  has  toured  and  delight- 
ed many  audiences,  both  in  the  United  States  and 
in  Europe.  Along  with  touring,  the  Quartet  present- 
ly has  residency  at  American  University  in  Wash- 
ington, D.C.,  where  they  hold  master  classes.  As  a 
fitting  concomitant  to  the  Washington  affiliation, 
the  Corcoran  Gallery  has  turned  over  to  them  a  set 
of  Amati  instruments,  on  which  they  now  perform 
exclusively.

UPC,  Union  Program  Council,  provided  the 
UMass  community  with  a  year  of  excellent  enter- 
tainment. The  shows  are  listed  as  they  appeared  at 
UMass.  The  students,  of  course,  responded  enthu- 
siastically to  all  of  these  shows  and  understandably 
so.  These  are  musical  programs  put  together  by 
students  with  students  in  mind.  Although  UPC 
faced  many  budget  cuts,  as  did  many  other  stu- 
dent organizations,  they  managed  to  put  together 
shows  that  appealed  to  the  many  diverse  musical 
interests  that  the  students  hane.

Ray  Charles:  musical  genius  of  jazz  when  at 
the  piano.  He  thrilled  and  delighted  a  large  audi- 
ence at  the  Fine  Arts  Center.  The  audience  re- 
sponded to  the  feelings  that  he  put  into  his 
music  and,  like  a  mirror,  he  reflected  the  re- 
sponse by  putting  even  more  feeling  into  his 
music  (if  that  is  at  all  possible).  It  was  like  a 
spiraling  staircase  and  Ray  Charles  brought  the 
audience  higher  and  higher.  It  was  a  perfor- 
mance that  could  only  be  termed  excellent.

The  International  Orchestra  series  included  an 
outstanding,  although  limited,  selection  of  talent. 
Featured  in  this  series  were  the  Minnesota  Or- 
chestra with  conductor  Neville  Marriner  (pictured 
on  the  previous  page),  Maurice  Andre  with  the 
Wuerttemberg  Chamber  Orchestra  (pictured  on 
the  previous  page  and  featured  below),  and  the 
Czech  Philharmonic,  with  conductors  Vaclav  Neu- 
mann and  Zdenek  Kosier  (pictured  on  this  page). 
This  selection  of  orchestras  provided  entertain- 
ment throughout  the  entire  school  year.  Also,  the 
series  was  cosponsored  with  the  University  of 
Massachusetts  Arts  Council. 


Maurice  Andre,  "the  reigning  prince  of  trumpet 
music",  performed  with  the  Wuerttemberg  Cham- 
ber Orchestra  at  the  Fine  Arts  Center  on  Friday, 
February  27. 

The  program  included  two  concerti  for  trumpet 
and  orchestra,  by  Stolzel  and  Tartini.  Soloists  from 
the  Wuerttemberg's  string  sections  were  also  fea- 
tured in  works  by  Vivaldi,  Grieg  and  Respigbi. 

Maurice  Andre,  who  has  been  responsible  for 
popularizing  many  Baroque  masterpieces,  has  won 
ten  Grands  Prix  du  Disque  in  the  past  ten  years.  He 
was  the  solo  trumpet  for  L'Orchestre  Radio  Televi- 
sion Francaise  and  during  the  same  period  was 
engaged  by  the  Concert  Orchestra  of  Lamoureux. 
More  recently,  Andre  has  performed  under  con- 
ductors Karl  Richter,  Herbert  von  Karajan,  and  Karl 
Bohm.  He  also  holds  a  professorship  at  the  Conser- 
vatoire de  Paris.

MERIDETH  MONK 


Dancer,  choreographer,  singer  and  composer, 
Meredith  Monk  and  her  company.  The  House,  of- 
fered two  performances  at  the  University  of  Mas- 
sachusetts Fine  Arts  Center  on  March  4  and  5. 

Meredith  Monk  is  one  of  the  most  influential 
choreographers  of  today.  It  has  been  said  that  "her 
theatre  and  dance  are  musical,  her  music  is  often 
theatrical,  and  her  voice  dances."  The  Seattle  Sun 
said:  "Meredith  Monk  may  change  your  definition, 
or  at  least  expand  your  ideas,  about  music." 

In  addition  to  the  preview  of  "Waltz",  the  March 
5  performance  also  included  solo  vocal  music  by 
Monk  and  performances  of  "Vessel  Suite"  and 
"Tablet".  "Vessel  Suite"  is  drawn  from  a  1971  opera 
epic  on  Joan  of  Arc,  while  "Tablet"  uses  instru- 
ments and  polyphony  to  retrace  the  evolution  of 


Western  music. 

The  March  4  performance  featured  a  music/th- 
eatre/dance performance  of  the  "Plateau  Series". 
Eileen  Blumenthal,  writing  i  the  Village  Voice,  com- 
mented: "The  piece  is  a  kind  of  symphony,  fol- 
lowed by  a  solo  sonata,  presenting  motifs  of  wom- 
en interacting  with  their  environment,  one  an- 
other, and  the  male  world  .  .  with  fear,  tender- 
ness, hostility,  calm  acceptance,  curiosity  ..." 

In  addition  to  the  two  performances,  Meredith 
Monk  and  The  House  offered  a  series  of  workshops 
to  five  college  students.

Bella  Davidovich,  who  for  thirty  years  has  been 
ranked  with  Emil  Gileis  and  Sviatoslav  Richter  as 
one  of  Russia's  formost  pianists,  performed  at  the

A  child  prodigy,  Bell  Davidovich  began  her  for- 
mal training  at  the  age  of  6  and  her  performing 
career  at  9.  in  1949,  she  won  first  prize  in  the 
prestigious  Chopin  Competition  in  Warsaw.  She 
performed  widely  throughout  Russia,  including  38

New  York's  Daily  News  as  "The  most  eagerly 
awaited  piano  recital  in  many  seasons"  and  one 
"that  exceeded  even  the  highest  expectations."

National  Theatre  Of  The  Deaf 


Homer's  Iliad  was  given  a  modern  touch  when 
the  National  Theatre  of  the  Deaf  performed  "The 
Iliad,  Play  by  Play"  on  Tuesday,  February  10  at  the 
University  of  Massachusetts  Fine  Arts  Center  in 
Amherst. 

Written  by  deaf  playwright  Shanny  Mow  and  di- 
rected by  deaf  director  Edward  Waterstreet,  the 
National  Theatre  of  the  Deaf's  adaptation  satirized 
the  heroic  myth.  The  Trojans  war  agains  each  oth- 
er in  a  make-believe  football  stadium  and,  accord- 
ing to  the  game  plan  of  the  gods,  are  destined  to 
face  off  on  the  fifty  fifty-yard  line.  The  first  act, 
or  in  this  case,  half,  poked  fun  at  the  cult  of  the 
superhero,  while  the  second  showed  the  super- 
hero, Achilles,  in  his  own  struggle  against  fate. 
Throughout  the  play,  modern-day  humor  leavened 
ancient  Greek  philosophy;  "Mean  Joe  Achilles",  for 
example,  was  presented  with  a  bottle  of  Coca  Cola 
by  an  adoring  fan. 

The  Iliad,  like  other  National  Theatre  of  the  Deaf 
productions,  emphasized  gesture,  although  the 
words  were  spoken  by  interpreters.  According  to 
founder  David  Hayes,  "With  signing,  every  part  of 
the  body  works  to  inflect  color,  to  tilt  the  words 
toward  full  emotional  meaning. 

The  national  Theatre  of  the  Deaf's  appearance 
was  being  offered  in  co-operation  with  the  Office 
of  Handicapped  Student  Affairs.  February  10  was 
also  "Handicap  Awareness  Day"  on  campus.

The  New  Globe  Theatre,  a  special  group  of  ac- 
tors, brought  to  this  University  four  very  special 
productions  during  the  season  of  1980-81.  They 
were:  The  Glass  Menagerie  by  Tennessee  Williams, 
Hedda  Gabler  by  Henrik  Ibsen,  Candida  by  George 
Bernard  Shaw,  and  As  You  Like  It  by  William  Shake- 
speare. 

All  of  these  shows  are  classics  and  the  perfor- 
mances provided  made  them  even  more  memora- 
ble.

The  special  attractions  for  the  1980-81  season  at 
the  Fine  Arts  Center  included:  Marcel  Marceau,  a 
performance  by  the  National  Theatre  of  the  Deaf, 
and  a  performance  by  the  Canadian  Brass.  These 
specials  appealed  to  varied  audiences-,  none  were 
disappointed  by  the  presentations. 


Marcel  Marceau,  "the  world's  greatest  mime", 
returned  to  UMass  for  the  sixth  consecutive  year 
to  perform  at  the  Fine  Arts  Center  on  Saturday. 
February  21.  1981. 

Marceau.  who  feels  he  was  a  "born  mime",  is  one 
of  the  most  widely-  travelled  stage  personalities  in 
the  world  today.  His  character,  Bip.  and  such  rou- 
tines as  "The  Cage"  and  "Walking  Against  the 
Wind",  have  become  international  classics,  while 
each  year  he  creates  new  spaces  for  audiences  to 
see  as  an  artist  creates  new  sculptures.  Le  Figaro, 
published  in  his  native  France,  said  of  him  recent- 
ly, "If  you  have  not  seen  him,  you  must  gO;  if  you 
have  already  seen  him,  you  must  return." 

Marceau  especially  enjoys  his  tours  of  college 
campuses.  In  an  interview  with  the  Daily  Collegian 
during  his  fifth  sold-out  appearance  at  the  Univer- 
sity, he  explained.  "On  the  campuses,  we  have  the 
greatest  enthusiasm,  the  greatest  energy,  and  the 
greatest  expectations."  He  did  not  let  the  Univer- 
sity down.

Student  productions:  UMass  students  doing 
what  they  do  best  and  love  best.  Singing,  dancing, 
acting,  directing,  writing,  producing.  They  cover 
all  facets  of  the  world  of  performing  arts. 

Included  in  the  lineup  for  1980-81  were:  Jesus 
Christ.  Superstar,  Travesties  diwd  the  UMass  Danc- 
ers, to  name  only  a  few.  All  performances  were 
enthusiastically  received  by  their  audiences.  No- 
teably,  Jesus  Christ,  Superstar  was  received  very 
well  by  UMass  students:  after  word  got  out  con- 
cerning the  preview  and  all  shows  were  conse- 
quently sold  out.  Reviews  ranged  from  "Terrific" 
to  "Wonderful"  to  "Don't  miss  it,  it  was  great!" 
Needless  to  say,  the  response  was  rather  positive. 

UMass  students  continue  to  sing,  dance,  art, 
direct,  write,  and  produce  their  hearts  out,  giving 
the  best  to  the  stage  and  to  their  fellow  students.

The  Broadway  series  at  the  Fine  Arts  Center  for 
1980-81  included  the  shows:  A  Chorus  Line,  Danc- 
ing', Elephant  Man,  and  Ain't  Misbehavin'.  All  of 
the  shows  were  enthusiastically  received  and 
played  to  sold-out  audiences.  In  fact,  afternoon 
performances  were  added  in  order  to  accomodate 
the  demand  for  tickets. 

The  troupes  performed  beautifully  and  did  not  at 
all  disappoint  the  crowds  that  awaited  them.  Al- 
though not  New  York  City,  the  performers  dis- 
played the  talent  and  professionalism  of  Broadway 
and  the  audiences  responded  in  kind.

The  Elephant  Mam  a  story  of  a  man  with  a  dis- 
ease that  has  caused  severe  physical  deformities. 
Used  as  a  freak  in  a  sideshow,  he  is  ultimately 
taken  to  a  hospital  where  he  is  treated  like  a  hu- 
man being.  However,  by  not  interacting  with  peo- 
ple, he  has  retained  his  childlike  innocence,  as  well 
as  the  ability  to  look  at  society  with  eyes  clear  of 
socialization.  It  is  only  when  he  enters  the  hospital 
that  he  is  exposed  to  society  in  such  a  way  to  put 
constraints  on  him. 

The  playwright,  Bernard  Pomerance,  makes  in- 


teresting comments  on  society  through  both  John 
Merrick,  the  Elephant  man,  and  Fredrick  Treves, 
the  doctor  who  befriends  him.  It  is  a  story  of 
society  crushing  the  free  spirit  of  a  man  when  that 
is  all  he  has.  The  intentions  are  good;  the  results 
are  deadly. 

The  Elephant  Man  is  based  on  a  true  story  of  a 
man  living  in  England  during  the  Victorian  era.  The 
deformities  mentioned  earlier  were  suggested  by 
body  posture  and  the  use  of  the  actor's  voice.  The 
acting  was  outstanding  by  all  of  the  performers. 


Is  there  any

Off  campus  housing  ond  Orchard  Hill?  Yes, 
we're  all  connected  with  and  by  the  living 
experience  (and  what  on  experience  it  is!) 
here  at  UMass.  Comnnuter  or  Greek, 
Southwest  or  Central,  we  oil

of  parties,

UMASS  has  a  different  meaning  to  every  per- 
son. To  the  townspeople  UMass  is  a  source  of 
entertainment,  employment,  information,  and  to 
some,  a  pain-in-the  neck 

To  the  faculty  UMass  is  an  employer,  a  future,  a 
past,  a  source  of  committment  and  involvement 

To  the  administration  UMass  is  a  source  of  long 
hours,  struggles,  no  result?;  nnd  constant  oonosi- 
tion. 

To  the  students  UMass  is  all  of  the  above  and 
more  . . .

Central  Area  is  located  in  the 
central  part  of  Campus.  It  has 
ten  closely  knit  dorms  that  pro- 
vide a  cummunity  spirit  not 
found  in  other  areas.  Central  has 
a  tradition  of  dorm  and  student 
interaction  through  outdoor 
fairs,  concerts,  and  sports.  The 
area  was  the  originator  of  the 
now  campus  —  wide  Coffee 
House.  In  the  Fall,  the  major  di- 
versions of  the  students  are  par- 
ties, footballs,  and  frisbees. 
While  in  the  spring  the  hill  is 
adorned  by  sun  worshippers 
who  gather  in  groups  to  escape 
from  daily  pressures  of  college 
life.  In  general  Central  Area  is 
characterized  by  a  well  round-

My  first  night  at  UMass  as  a  freshman,  I 
was  awake  all  night  pondering  my  chances 
of  surviving  my  first  year  away  from  home. 
It  must  have  been,  at  the  most,  two  weeks 
before  UMass  became  "home"  to  me. 

I  lived  in  Northeast  for  my  first  three 
years  of  school.  NE  is  a  traditional  appear- 
ing living  area  with  nine  dorms  and  a  quad 
which  is  great  for  sunbathing,  frisbee, 
Softball,  and  partying. 

I  did  survive  my  freshman  year  at  UMass 
and  am  now  a  senior  living  off-campus.  I 
am  finding  that  I  miss  the  community  spir- 
it that  was  very  evident  in  Northeast.  It 
was  a  terrific  place  to  mellow  out,  to  study 
or  to  party.  There  was  always  someone 
else  pulling  an  allnighter  for  that  chemis- 
try exam,  and  1  was  never  alone  when  1  did 
my  laundry  at  odd  hours  in  the  early 
morning.  There  is  a  special  closeness  be- 
tween the  residents  that  lasts  even  after 
you  have  left  the  area.  I  am  still  living  with 
that  closeness  because  my  apartment- 
mates  are  two  people  I  met  that  terrifying 
first  day  at  UMass,  one  is  from  Thatcher, 
and  the  other  is  my  roommate  from  Mary 
Lyons.  Whenever  we  sit  around  and  talk 
about  our  early  days  of  college  (as  all  aging 
seniors  do),  one  of  us  always  ends  the 
night  with  "Goodnight  Mary  Lyons"  . . . 
"Goodnight  Thatcher."

1980  will  long  be  remembered  by  future  generations  as  the  year  of  change 
at  UMass.  Outdated  traditions  and  institutions,  such  as  the  mobbing  of  the 
Campus  Center  during  Halloween,  and  the  end  of  the  Bluewall  as  we  have 
known  it,  have  been  displaced  by  new  values.  Perhaps  the  most  startling 
change  of  all  as  recorded  by  the  Sociology  department  was  the  upheaval  of 
marijuana  and  alcohol  as  the  most  common  drugs  on  campus,  replaced  by  an 
even  more  dangerous  fix,  l<nown  by  its  street  name  simply  as  "General  Hospi- 
tal". 

While  the  drug  had  been  available  for  some  time,  heavy  usage  was  limited 
to  a  few  who  had  been  addicted  since  childhood.  But  this  addiction;  known  by 
the  scientific  name  "Quartermaine-on-the-brain"  proved  to  be  more  epidemic 
than  the  dreaded  strain  of  "Eight  oclockincalculiblowoffus." 

Unlike  most  drugs  which  can  be  consumed  at  any  time,  "GH"  is  only  avail- 
able at  a  certain  hour,  unless  the  addict  uses  a  betamax  stimulant.  "GH"  has 
become  very  accessable  to  the  addicts,  with  the  most  common  dispensary 
located  in  the  bottom  of  the  Campus  Center,  where  in  daily  ritual,  hundreds  of 
GH  fans  pay  homage  to  their  gods  and  receive  dispensation  in  return. 

What  made  the  emergence  of  GH  so  dramatic  was  the  openess  of  hundreds 
of  GH  addicts,  who  after  spending  years  with  their  addiction  came  out  of  the 
closet  and  take  pride  in  their  hobby.  Laughed  at  for  years,  they  were  the  new 
social  "chic"  of  1980,  beating  Box  Car  Willie  by  a  wide  margin. 

This  newfound  boldness  was  exhibited  at  parties;  the  same  people  who  only 
last  year  talked  about  Slim  Whitman  were  now  discussing  the  fate  of  Luke  and 
Laura  feverishly.  Observers  frequently  noted  the  glazed  look  in  their  eyes  as 
they  babbled  incoherently  about  the  rushes  they  received  from  their  latest  fix. 
More  and  more  people  who  overheard  the  conversation  would  join  in,  until 
finally  the  entire  party  stood  there  in  a  dazed  state,  chanting  "GH  . . .  GH  . . . 
GH." 

Unsuspecting  students  fell  prey  to  the  growing  menace.  A  frequent  cry 
heard  around  campus  was  "I'll  try  it  just  once  . . .  These  same  formers  aca- 
demic marvels  could  be  found  two  weeks  later  in  the  bottom  of  the  CC  during 
^he  afternoon  with  the  same  glazed  look  in  their  eyes. 

University  officials  are  at  a  loss  to  explain  the  phenomenon.  Theories  have 
ranged  from  sunspots  to  the  demise  of  "Guiding  Light",  but  the  popularity  of 
'^GH  increases  in  leaps  and  bounds.  Addicts  insist  there  is  no  peak  to  this  trend, 
and  for  the  time  being,  there  is  no  reason  no  doubt  them. 

The  GH  affliction  seems  to  strike  every,  one,  regardless  of  race,  creed,  color. 
Thousands  are  making  no  plans  between  the  hours  of  3  •  4  P.M.,  pushing  little 
old  ladies  out  of  chairs,  so  that  like  the  marijuana  and  alcohol  addicts  before 
them,  they  can  sit  in  a  corner,  and  take  it  all  in.  In  the  meantime,  the  Sociolo- 
gists who  discovered  this  trend  are  still  trying  to  reason  out  the  most  perplex- 
ing issue  raised  by  the  GH  phenomenon  namely,  who  did  shoot  J.R.  anyway?

Southwest  Southwest  Southwest  Southwest  Southwest  Soi 


Southwest:  an  interesting  combina- 
tion of  academia  and  suburbia.  It  is  the 
largest  living  area  on  campus  and  the 
most  intimate.  Its  size  demands  inti- 
macy; small  groups  of  people  band  to- 
gether as  common  interests  and  di- 
verse opinions  bring  them  closer  to 
each  other. 

This  may  sound  odd,  but  after  living 
in  Southwest  for  three  years,  I  still  feel 
that  although  I  know  it,  there  are 
some  qualities  and  aspects  of  South- 
west that  are  alluding  me.  Southwest 
is  the  living  area  that  is  best  depicted 
by  Billy  Joel's  song,  "The  Stranger". 
Southwest  is  that  person  with  many 
different  faces.  Each  is  tried  on,  and 
for  those  who  see  them,  each  is  re- 
membered. Each  mood  of  Southwest 
compliments  and  contradicts  the  oth- 
ers. 

Many  people  seeing  the  partying, 
the  rowdiness,  the  craziness  of  5500 
people  on  one  quarter  square  mile 
that  is  the  foundation  of  Southwest. 
Anyone  can  see  that,  just  come  down 
on  a  weekend  night-  the  entertain- 
ment is  quite  amusing.  To  really  knbw 
the  five  towers  and  eleven  low-rises, 
you  must  live  there.  Then  you  start  to 
become  familar  with  the  quiet  that 
exists:  the  horseshoe  at  2A.M.,  the 
barbeque  pits  at  sunset,  sunrise  over 
JQA.  You  also  experience  the  anger 


and  frustration  of  people  shouting  out 
windows  at  all  hours  of  the  night.  You 
see  the  confusion  as  you  go  through 
the  line  at  the  DC  or  as  you  watch 
newcomers  look  for  dorms.  You  see 
the  intricacies  of  it  as  multitudes  of 
people  weave  in  and  out  along  the 
walkways,  blending  with  trucks,  cars 
and  frisbees-  never  bumping  in  to 
anything  else,  everyone  carefully 
making  a  path  of  his  or  her  own.  You 
share  love  with  others:  a  couple  hold- 
ing hands  in  the  DC,  or  with  their 
arms  around  each  other  or  quietly 
talking  and  kissing  on  the  rocks  as  the 
sun  sets.  These  are  the  moments 
when  you  realize  that  Southwest  is 
everything  you  want  it  to  be-  and 
more.  It  can  reflect  all  of  your  moods 
and  still  have  some  left  over  for  the 
rest  of  its  residents. 

it  is  these  times  that  you  realize  how 
many  people  live  in  Southwest.  There 
is  no  way  to  deal  with  the  reality  of 
5500  students  surrounded  by  con- 
crete and  brick.  At  times,  the  dorm 
can  even  be  too  big  to  feel  like  home. 
There  is  a  small  group  of  friends  to 
whom  you  are  close  that  make  South- 
west home.  For  me,  it  was  my  floor. 
We  were  a  close-knit  group  -  a  family. 
We  were  all  different,  and  we  lived 
together  comfortably,  knowing  each 
other  and  sharing  mutual  occurences 


on  the  floor. 

Southwest  is  also  a  place  of  learning. 
For,  like  Orchard  Hill,  Southwest  is  a 
residential  college.  Classes  are  taught 
in  lounges  and  classrooms  in  the 
dorms.  It  give  people  the  opportunity 
to  literally  live  and  learn.  Any  student 
from  the  university  can  participate  in 
Southwest  courses,  but  only  the  resi- 
dents can  appreciate  the  luxury  of 
getting  up  ten  minutes  before  class 
and  not  worry  about  getting  there  on 
time  because  it  is  only  two  floors 
down  from  your  room. 

In  closing,  I  can  only  say  that  South- 
west reminds  me  of  a  beautiful  wom- 
an, pleasant  to  look  at  and  full  of  sur- 
prises and  mysteries.  She  is  intelligent, 
unexpectedly  insightful,  moody, 
motherly.  She  has  personality;  she  is 
loving  and  yet  cold.  Southwest  is 
more  than  just  buildings  that  can  be 
seen  from  as  far  as  Holyoke-  it  is  an 
opportunity  to  learn.  Most  people 
take  Southwest  at  face  value,  some  of 
us  get  to  know  it.  Somehow,  though,  1 
don't  think  anyone  could  ever  know 
Southwest  completely-  it's  too  com- 
plex, too  mysterious,  too  big  and  too 
intimate  to  ever  see  and  hear  and 
touch  and  experience  all  that  South- 
west is  and  all  it  has  to  offer.

The  University  of  Massachusetts/ Amherst  sorori- 
ties are  approved  housing  with  membership  involv- 
ing diverse,  enthusiastic  and  dedicated  women.  The 
eight  chapters  at  the  university  are  cooperative  liv- 
ing situations  with  12-60  women  living  in  the  differ- 
ent chapter  houses.  Total  membership  ranges  from 
12-75  with  each  chapter  developing  leadership, 
communication  skills  and  the  formation  of  lasting 
friendships. 

The  sororities  are  governed  by  the  Panhellenic 
council  with  an  executive  board  comprised  of  elect- 
ed women  from  the  eight  chapters.  The  goals  of 
Panhellenic  are  to  increase  awareness  within  the  sys- 
tem involving  women's  issues,  social  situations  and 
cooperation  among  the  chapters. 

In  an  expanding  and  concerned  university  com- 
munity there  are  numerous  areas  that  captivate  the 
talent,  energy,  creativity  and  dedication  of  sorority 
women.  Individual  members  participate  in  a  number 
of  campus,  community  and  Greek  activities. 

The  sororities  at  UMass  have  consistently  pro- 
vided leaders  by  stressing  the  importance  of  involve- 
ment in  education  and  extracurricular  activities.

The  Fraternity  system  at  the  University  of 
Massachusetts  is  one  of  the  best  ways  to  exper- 
ience UMass  life.  Fraternity  living  is  for  people 
who  wish  to  become  involved  and  to  pursue  a 
variety  of  interests  while  in  college.  There  are  15 
fraternities  on  the  campus  including  local,  na- 
tional, and  one  coed  group.  All  chapters  have 
different  values  and  interests,  but  share  the 
same  bond  of  brotherhood. 

Fraternity  involvement  is  not  just  a  collegiate 
experience  but  extends  beyond  graduation, 
with  the  organization  of  alumni  groups.  Alumni 
are  an  important  part  of  chapter  functioning. 

The  Fraternity  experience  can  be  the  most 
rewarding  and  influencing  living  experiences  of 
college.

It  never  quite  hits  you  until  you  put 
your  signature  on  the  lease.  Until  then,  it 
was  just  one  of  your  wildest  fantasies.  You 
stopped  counting  how  many  times  you 
were  over  at  a  friend's  apartment,  green 
with  envy  because  you  wanted  a  place 
you  could  call  your  own.  No  parents  ask- 
ing what  time  you  got  in  last  night,  no  one 
to  scream  when  you  light  up  a  joint  in  the 
living  room,  no  one  to  tell  you  to  finish 
your  vegetables  at  dinner  time.  Hell,  you 
don't  even  have  to  serve  vegetables  once 
you  have  your  own  place. 

it  seems  so  simple,  too.  All  you  need  is 
your  name  down  on  that  precious  piece 
of  paper.  September  comes  and  the 
UHaul  is  carefully  packed.  You're  just 
bringing  up  clothes  and  the  stereo.  (Ever 
notice  now  helpful  parents  are  when  it 
comes  to  packing  the  stereo?)  But  now 
there's  a  bed  (Grandma's),  a  dresser  (next 
door  neighbor's),  and  kitchen  utensils 
(Lusterware,  as  seen  on  T.V.). 

You  drive  up  to  the  door,  proudly  hold- 
ing the  key  and  the  lock  is  quickly  and 
successfully  mastered.  With  a  great  burst 
of  excitement,  you  open  the  door  of  your 
new  Camelot,  and  the  dream  ends. 

Your  place  is  a  mess.  The  previous  ten- 
ants, in  a  hurry  to  leave,  never  bothered 
to  clean.  Nor  did  the  landlord,  for  that 
matter.  You  look  around,  trying  to  get  an 
idea  of  where  to  start  when  your  parents 
dump  all  of  your  stuff  on  the  front  lawn 
and  wave  good-bye.  It's  all  yours. 

You  spend  two  days  in  S  and  M.  (That's 
scrubbing  and  mopping,  for  those  "in  the 
know"-  as  we  apartment  folk  say.)  Now  it 
is  time  for  your  first  party.  The  gang 
comes,  drinks,  spills,  and  leaves.  You  Took 
at  your  place  and  suddenly  realize  that 
you  actually  have  to  clean  up  after  your 
own  parties.  Yes,  Virgina,  there  is  no  maid. 

But  if  you  can  dealdeal  with  that,  and  at 
the  same  time  cope  with  continuous  fi- 
nancial problems  (Did  your  parents  ever 
mention  electric  bills?),  then  off-campus 
living  is  for  you

WHERE  WERE  YOU 
WHEN  THE  WATER 
RAN  OUT? 


UMass  students  will  never 
forget  the  day  school  closed  be- 
cause of  a  water  shortage.  On 
September  4,  1980  at  noon. 
Chancellor  Henry  Koffler  de- 
clared UMass  closed  and  or- 
dered 10,400  dormitory  resi- 
dents to  evacuate.  Soon  the 
streets  of  Amherst  were  over- 
flowing with  bus  convoys, 
packed  cars,  and  hitchhikers 
going  home. 

The  University  closing  and 
resulting  mass  exodus  need  not 
have  occurred.  School  officials 
knew  that  the  town  water 
sources  in  Pelham  were  low  due 
to  an  unusually  dry  summer. 
The  new  well  being  dug  in  Am- 
herst's Lawrence  Swamp  area 
wasn't  completed  yet.  The  Uni- 
versity probably  shouldn't  have 
opened  at  all.  The  key  event  of 
the    water    crisis    occurred    on 


Tuesday,  September  2nd.  A  low 
water  alarm  went  off  in  the 
Amherst  fire  station  indicating 
the  water  towers  were  almost 
empty.  Whoever  was  there  ig- 
nored the  alarm.  Town  Man- 
ager Louis  Hayward  didn't 
know  of  the  critical  situation 
until  34  hours  later-6:45 
Wednesday  night.  He  found 
out  too  late.  Southwest  and  Or- 
chard Hill  were  the  first  areas  to 
be  waterless,  and  by  midnight 
25  dormitories  were  dry. 

Dormitory  bathrooms  were 
useless  forcing  some  residents 
to  take  "nature  walks".  Hot, 
humid  weather  kept  everybody 
sticky.  The  shores  of  nearby 
Puffer's  Pond  were  full  of  stu- 
dents washing  up.  Those  who 
got  the  last  hot  showers  were 
the  envy  of  their  neighbors. 

The     next     morning,     word 


spread  fast  that  school  had 
closed,  (even  national  wire  ser- 
vices picked  up  the  story.)  Ad- 
ditional buses  were  secured 
from  Peter  Pan  Lines  in  Spring- 
field and  students  had  to  wait 
in  long  lines  to  get  on  one. 
Those  with  cars  gave  friends 
rides  home.  By  7:00  P.M.  the 
campus  was  deserted.  School 
would  re-open  on  Sunday.  By 
then,  enough  water  could  be 
brought  from  Hadly,  Amherst's 
water-rich  neighbor. 

Students  returned  to  school 
and  town  officials  apoligized 
and  promised  the  students  re- 
imbursement for  the  time  spent 
out  of  their  rooms.  The  Law- 
rence Well  was  completed  in 
October,  and  officials  are  confi- 
dent that  a  repeat  performance 
will  never  occur.

UMASS  VS.  CAPITOL  HILL 


144 


While  Washington  D.C.  was 
still  reeling  from  the  effects  of 
the  November  election,  a  group 
of  about  40  UMass  students  de- 
scended on  the  nation's  capitol 
to  lobby  for  increased  financial 
aid  funding. 

The  group,  which  included 
many  members  of  a  course  in 
the  legislative  process,  political 
science  305,  spent  two  days  and 
nights  on  capitol  hill  talking  to 
legislators  and  their  aides. 

Their  goal  was  to  have  con- 
gress provide  more  money  for 
financial  aid  programs.  Soon 
after  the  semester  started,  the 
Financial  Aid  Office  had  sent 
out  letters  telling  them  that 
their  awards  had  been  cut 
somewhat.  The  reason  for  the 
cuts  was  that  legislation  had 
made  more  students  eligible  for 
money,  but  additional  funds 
had  not  been  provided. 

The  students  met,  both  col- 
lectively and  individually,  with 
Massachusetts  Senators  Paul 
Tsongas  and  Edward  Kennedy. 
Representatives  Silvio  Conte, 
Edward  Markey,  Brian  Donne- 
ly  and  others.  Nearly  all  the 
senators  and  representatives  on 
the  appropriations  committee 
were  contacted,  either  personal- 
ly  or   through    their   aides,   as 


were  most  members  of  the 
Massachusetts  delegaion. 

The  bill  to  provide  funds  for 
financial  aid  programs  was 
hung  up  due  to  differences  be- 
tween the  house  and  senate,  and 
the  matter  was  placed  on  "con- 
tinuing resolution"  or  a  main- 
tenence  of  last  year's  funding  of 
$4.2  billion.  The  students  want- 
ed an  additional  $1.8  billion  to 
make  up  for  the  additional  stu- 
dents eligible,  but  legislators 
were  reluctant  to  provide  the 
funds. 

While  the  lobbying  effort 
was  not  directly  successful, 
both  the  students  and  law- 
makers said  they  felt  that  they 
had  made  some  sort  of  impact 
and  that  their  voices  were 
heard. 

"1  learned  more  in  these  two 
days  than  I  ever  would  in  a 
classroom  type  situation.  I  feel 
like  I  know  how  politics  works 
and  how  I  can  work  in  it,"  said 
class  member  Christine  Gillis. 

"Although  we  didn't  change 
history,  we  made  an  impact," 
said  Fran  Bisonette,  a  junior  fi- 
nance major.  "It  was  a  good 
learning  process  and  we  could 
do  a  lot  more  in  this  area.  Our 
potential  is  unlimited  to  orga- 
nize around  this  issue.  Students 


should  realize  that  these  issues 
affect  them.  You  can  have  an 
impact,  you  just  have  to  take  jj 
the  initiative."  %\ 

Professors  Grady  and  Apo- 
daca,  who  accompanied  the  stu- 
dents, said  that  they  were  hap- 
py with  the  results  of  the  trip 
and  with  the  way  the  students 
handled  the  situation. 

"They  (the  students)  realized 
that  the  government  is  open 
and  willing  and  that  they  can 
make  a  difference.  They  learned 
they  don't  have  to  protest," 
Grady  said. 

"I  really  was  extremely 
pleased  with  the  results  of  the 
trip,"  said  Professor  Apodaca, 
"I  felt  the  students  worked  hard 
and  were  a  lot  more  successful 
than  people  realized.  We  defi- 
nitely need  more  student  in- 
volvement, especially  if  it  is  as  «. 
organized  as  this."  HI 

Soon  after  the  group  returned 
from  Washington,  the  decision 
was  made  to  continue  the  fi- 
nancial aid  fight.  The  group, 
calling  itself  SAFA,  Students 
Advocating  Financial  Aid,  will 
continue  to  organize  around  the 
issue  and  possibly  return  to  the 
capitol  for  further  lobbying  ef- 
forts. 


-Ed  Levine  • 


Yes,  there  was  more  than  one 


shutdown,  that  is.  It  was 
known  as  the  "Halloween  Shut- 
down", and  it  too  lasted  only 
one  weekend;  October  30,  31, 
and  November  1.  No  guests 
were  allowed  in  the  dorms,  se- 
curity was  doubled,  and  the 
Campus  Center  was  closed. 
That's  right:  closed,  empty,  DE- 
SERTED. 

That  was  probably  the  scar- 
iest scene  of  the  entire  evening, 
considering  it  had  almost  be- 
come a  ritual  for  thousands  of 
students  and  guests  to  literally 
innundate  the  Campus  Center 
and  celebrate  Halloween  with  a 
massive  party.  The  tradition 
has  been  broken,  unfortunately 
because  too  much  of  the  Uni- 
versity's property  had  been 
broken  in  the  past.  Reports  of 
vandalism,  rapes,  and  just  plain 
unrulyness  during  past  Hal- 
loween   weekends    forced    the 


University  Administration  to 
think  twice  about  holding  the 
festivities  this  year.  So,  on  Oc- 
tober 7th,  Vice  Chancellor 
George  Beatty  confirmed  the 
administration's  decision  to 
close  the  campus  on  Halloween 
weekend. 

Shortly  thereafter,  residents 
in  at  least  one  of  the  nearby 
apartment  complexes  were  in- 
formed that  parties  held  on 
Halloween  Weekend  would  be 
restricted.  Guest  lists  were  re- 
quested, and  only  twenty-five 
guests  were  permitted  to  attend. 
Security  was  also  tightened 
greatly. 

The  shutdown  was  not  in- 
curred to  cramp  our  style.  Au 
contrare,  it  was  for  "our  own 
good"  (so  to  speak).  We  were 
attracting  too  many  wierdos, 
too  many  people  who  were  hell- 
bent on  causing  trouble  just  be- 


cause it  was  Halloween.  (Was 
this  our  fault?)  Apparently,  stu- 
dents and  guests  alike  were  be- 
ing subjected  to  the  possibility 
of  injury  when  they  attended 
the  large,  rowdy  party  in  the 
Campus  Center,  and  that  is  just 
too  dangerous  for  everyone  in- 
volved. We  needed  the  shut- 
down to  keep  all  these  people 
out,  and  avoid  problems  within 
the  University  and  with  the  me- 
dia. 

Well,  this  year,  we  proved  to 
the  administration,  the  media, 
and  to  ourselves  that  we  could 
enjoy  Halloween  without  hav- 
ing problems.  There  were  nu- 
merous small  parties  on  and  off 
campus,  however  none  present- 
ed problems  as  we've  had  in  the 
past,  and  thanks  to  the  campus 
fraternities  and  sororities,  there 
wasn't  even  a  clean  up  problem 
for  Physical  Plant  to  deal  with. 

Perhaps  we  needed  to  break 
our  tradition,  perhaps  it  was 
necessary  to  be  strict  this  year, 
and  keep  the  wierdos  in  check, 
as  long  as  the  students  who  be- 
long here  have  a  good  time  . .  .

CAMPUS  CONSTRUCTION 


Tifff  PLUSES . 

The  Campus  Center  Board  of 
Governors  (BOG)  voted  unani- 
mously last  April  to  "authorize 
preparation"  of  a  plan  to  in- 
crease student  input  into  pro- 
posed renovations  to  the  Uni- 
versity Store,  tentatively  sched- 
uled to  begin  during  the  sum- 
mer of  '81'. 

The  authorization  of  the  plan 
was  approved  as  a  result  of  an 
original  motion  passed  by  the 
board  on  February  26,  which  set 
up  a  "formal  procedure"  for  the 
board's  involvement  in  Cam- 
pus Center/Student  Union  ren- 
ovations costing  over  $5,000. 
The  proposed  renovations  to 
the  University  store  are  esti- 
mated to  cost  around  $120,000.

A  new  system  of  emergency 
telephones  has  been  installed  at 
UMASS. 

The  five  emergency  tele- 
phones, painted  bright  yellow 
and  marked  with  red  and  white 
signs,  are  intended  to  give  in- 
stant access  to  University  police 
by  lifting  the  receiver.  When 
lifted,  a  bell  will  ring  at  the  po- 
lice switchboard  and  they  will 
know  the  location  of  the  emer- 
gency. It  is  anticipated  that  po- 
lice will  be  able  to  respond  to 
emergency  calls  within  three 
minutes. 


Benjamin  Fieman,  director  of 
the  four  year  old  Campus  Land- 
scape Improvement  Project 
(CLIP)  said  the  goal  of  the  pro- 
gram is  to  make  the  campus 
grounds  physically  attractive. 

Much  of  the  planning  for 
CLIP  is  done  by  interns  from 
Landscape  Design  and  Park 
Administration  Department, 
with  the  actual  construction 
done  by  Physical  Plant  employ- 
ees. 

Fieman  said  the  work  is  go- 
ing slow  because  landscape  is  a 
low  priority  for  Physical  Plant. 

Fieman  believes  that  an  effi- 
cient landscape  design  will 
eliminate  dirt  paths  and  bring 
out  the  beauty  of  the  campus.

The  summer  of  1982  is  the 
target  date  for  completion  of 
work  on  the  problem  plauged 
library,  according  to  a  written 
statement  from  Chancellor 
Henry  Koffler.  At  that  time,  the 
library  will  resume  full  service 
to  the  University. 

In  a  report  submitted  to  the 
University  by  Simpson,  Gu- 
mertz,  and  Hegar,  an  engineer- 
ing consulting  firm  from  Cam- 
bridge, the  firm  outlined  what 
had  to  be  done  on  the  tower  li- 
brary. 

Problems  with  brick  veneer 
on  the  structure,  forced  Univer- 
sity officials  to  close  the  library 
last  year.  "The  awarding  of  con- 
tracts for  the  repair  work  will 
be  made  by  this  winter,"  said 
Koffler. 

Internal  alterations  for  the  li- 
brary will  be  completed  by  the 
spring  of  1982. 


Although  the  University  was 
appropriated  $2.5  million  for 
the  work  by  the  State  Legisla- 
ture, some  uncertainties  still  re- 
main about  the  actual  costs  for 
the  repairs  to  the  masony  ve- 
neer on  the  library. 

"The  Goodell  library,  pro- 
vided the  main  library  service 
to  UMASS  since  the  close  of  the 
library,  will  serve  the  Universi- 
ty in  this  capacity  until  repairs 
to  the  tower  are  completed," 
Koffler's  statement  said. 

Richard  Talbot,  director  of 
Goodell,  said,  "When  the  tower 
library  is  repaired,  Goodell  will 
cease  to  function  as  the  main 
library.  The  library  will  take  on 
functions  similar  to  the  ones  it 
provided  before  the  close  of  the 
University  Library."

...  AND 
MINUSES 

Entomologists  at  UMASS 
used  natural  preditors  instead 
of  insecticides  to  rid  their  quar- 
ters in  Fernald  Hall  of  insect 
pests. 

Professors  Roy  Vandriesche 
and  Joseph  Elkinton  plan  to  de- 
ploy pinhead-sized  wasps  to 
attack  the  brown-banded  cock- 
roaches that  inhabit  the  build- 
ing. The  wasps  attack  cock- 
roach egg  cases.  The  researches 
explained  that  they  can't  use  or- 
dinary insecticides  to  kill  cock- 
roaches in  the  building  because 
they  might  kill  the  insect  popu- 
lations used  for  research  as 
well.  While  they  are  busy  rid- 
ding the  building  of  cock- 
roaches, the  researches  also 
have  launched  a  study  on  how 
to  control  a  "wild  population" 
of    cockroaches     by    natural 


means. 

The  first  step  of  their  study, 
they  said,  is  to  assess  what  the 
natural  population  of  cock- 
roaches is  in  the  building  so 
that  they  will  be  able  to  deter- 
mine how  effective  the  tiny 
wasps  are  in  cockroach  control. 
This  involves  capturing  cock- 
roaches, putting  identifying 
numbers  on  them,  and  releas- 
ing them  again.  This  capture- 
recapture  process  will  be  re- 
peated over  a  period  of  weeks 
until  a  mathematical  estimate 
of  the  size  of  the  cockroach 
population  can  be  determined.

Bartlett? 

The  University  of  Massachu- 
setts has  requested  its  Board  of 
Trustees  chairman  to  ask  the 
State  Bureau  of  Building  Con- 
struction for  a  solution  to  the 
problem  of  loose  bricks  on  the 
facade  of  Bartlett  Hall. 

Trustees  Chairman  Joseph 
Healy  plans  to  ask  the  BBC  to 
analyze  the  problem,  recom- 
mended a  solution,  and  move 
to  repair  the  building  which 
houses  classrooms  and  aca- 
demic offices. 

The  request  will  follow  a  rec- 
ommendation by  Loomis  and 
Loomis  of  Windsor,  Conn,  that 
immediate  repairs  be  made. 

University  spokesman  Ar- 
thur Clifford  said  estimates  for 
the  repairs  run  from  $100,000  to 
$600,000.

LIBRARY 
FLOODED 


A  broken  water  main  in  the 
28  story  main  library  at  the 
University  of  Massachusetts 
forced  officials  to  close  the 
structure. 

The  pipe  broke  while  the  sev- 
en year  old  facility  was  closed, 
flooding  the  basement  level. 

News  Bureau  director  Arthur 
Clifford  said  "just  metal  fa- 
tigue" caused  the  pipe  to  fail. 
He  added  no  books  or  research 
materials  were  located  in  the 
flooded  areas  of  the  library. 

He  stressed  that  the  flooding 
is  not  related  to  past  structural 
problems  with  the  building.

A  Chapter  In  The  History  Of  S.G.A. 


In  October,  the  student  gov- 
ernment began  the  annual  pro- 
cess of  choosing  members  of 
the  Undergraduate  Student 
Senate.  The  event  traditionally 
draws  little  attention,  and  is 
hardly  noticed  by  the  student 
body  as  a  whole.  In  the  fall  of 
1980,  however,  the  elections 
were  noticed  and  the  controver- 
sy which  ensued  divided  people 
in  all  areas  of  the  University. 

Weeks  before  the  elections,  a 
group  of  students  from  various 
organizations  and  backgrounds 
got  together  to  form  a  coalition 
to  represent  their  needs.  Calling 
themselves  the  Progressive  Stu- 
dent Alliance,  the  group  began 
running  members  for  the  sen- 
ate and  seemed  to  pick  up  much 
support  with  an  effective, 
grass-roots  organization. 

Shortly  before  the  elections, 
about  thirty  other  students  on 
the  ballot  for  commuter  seats, 
who  were  not  members  of  the 
PSA,  began  to  worry  about 
their  own  futures.  So,  to  coun- 
teract the  strength  of  the  PSA 
the  candidates  began  to  distrib- 
ute stickers,  bearing  the  names 
of  most  of  the  non-PSA  candi- 
dates. The  stickers,  voters  were 


told,  were  to  be  affixed  to  the 
ballots  and  handed  in. 

The  trouble  began  just  before 
the  ballots  were  tabulated  when 
Diane  Mueller,  chair  of  the  sen- 
ate Governmental  Affairs  Com- 
mittee, announced  that  the 
stickers  were  invalid  markings 
and  ballots  containing  them 
would  not  be  counted.  State 
law,  Mueller  said,  prohibits 
sticker  votes  for  candidates 
whose  names'  already  appear 
on  the  ballot.  The  "sticker  can- 
didates" disagreed,  arguing  that 
state  law  does  not  pertain  to 
student  elections. 

As  the  ballots  were  being 
counted  in  Dickinson  Hall,  and 
as  it  became  clear  that  the  PSA 
had  easily  won  the  election, 
Mueller  changed  her  mind  and 
announced  that  the  sticker 
votes  would  be  counted.  As  the 
candidates  loudly  argued  (at 
one  point  getting  so  loud  that 
they  drew  the  attention  of  offi- 
cers in  the  nearby  UMass  police 
station)  the  counting  continued 
and,  ultimately,  the  PSA  had 
scored  a  big  victory. 

But  the  controversy  had  not 
ended.  The  Senate  Coordinat- 
ing Committee,  seeing  the  in- 


consistencies in  the  election, 
overturned  the  election  results. 
The  same  week,  however,  the 
full  senate  overturned  the  Co- 
ordinating Committees  find- 
ings, and  promptly  seated  the 
new  senate. 

Shortly  after  the  senate's  de- 
cision, several  people  filed  suits 
in  the  student  courts  seeking  to 
invalidate  the  elections  on  the 
grounds  that  Mueller  should 
not  have  made  any  decisions 
since  she,  too,  appered  on  the 
ballot  as  a  PSA  candidate. 

Several  weeks  later,  after 
many  hours  of  stormy  and 
heated  court  action,  a  student 
court  at  the  very  end  of  the  fall 
semester,  announced  that  it 
could  not  decide  the  case,  but 
did  issue  an  injunction,  barring 
all  students  elected  from  serv- 
ing in  the  senate.  A  new  trial 
was  ordered  to  begin  in  the 
spring. 

The  case  went  to  "the  tribunal 
in  March.  Yet,  as  the  semester 
came  to  a  close,  no  decision  was 
announced.  Most  of  the  people 
involved  in  the  case  were  set  to 
graduate  and  the  whole  issue 
appears  to  be  moot.

HERE  COMES  .  .  . 


The   PVTA;   Pioneer   Valley 
Transit  Authority,  has  seen  to  it 
that  I,  as  a  resident  in  this  val- 
ley have  been  able  to  get  to 
classes,  to  get  to  off  campus 
jarties,    &    to    see    the    mall, 
Slorthampton,  and  Mt.  Sugar- 
oaf.  The  best  part  of  it  all,  is 
that  it  didn't  cost  me  a  cent.  The 


fare  for  most  UMASS  students 
is  paid  for  from  our  student  ac- 
tivity fee,  so  whether  or  we  ride 
the  bus  or  not,  we  pay  for  it's 
service  long  before  we  ever  ar- 
rive on  campus. 

The  PVTA  is  one  of  the  lar- 
gest transit  sytems  in  the 
world,  serving  the  entire  Pio- 


neer Valley.  There  is  now  a  sub- 
sidary  U  Mass  Transit  System 
with  at  least  32  buses  on  cam- 
pus and  over  140  workers.  Re- 
cently, 12  handicap  buses  were 
acquired  to  further  the  service, 
and  special  drivers  are  trained 
to  run  them.  There  are  at  least 
six  routes  running  all  week 
long,  and  each  runs  for  at  least 
12  hours  day. 

Judging  from  the  cleanliness 
and  quality  of  the  entire  sys- 
tem, it  is  no  small  wonder  to  me 
that  so  many  people  are  not 
only  using  the  bus,  but  are  con- 
stantly wondering  when  the 
last  one  came  and  the  next  one 
is  coming. 
-Contributing  Editor. 


The  "ANNIE  HAULER",  a 
bus  boarded  at  the  Campus 
Center  and  at  Southwest, 
stopped  transporting  UMASS 
students  to  the  Hampshire  Mall 
on  November  9,  1980. 

The  effect  of  the  bus's  dis- 
continuance on  business  is  var- 
ied. Arlene  Marcheselli,  man- 
ager of  The  Lodge,  said  sales 
had  dropped  "a  little".  The 
"Annie  Hauler"  was  a  "conve- 
nient means  of  transportation 
and  free,"  she  said. 

An  employee  of  Walden 
Books,  John  Otis  said  that  the 
bookstore's  business  had  not 
been  affected.  Lisa  Mascis  of 
Tagway  Shoe  store  also  said  her 
place  of  employment  had  not 
been  adversely  affected. 

"The  kids  can  get  here  one 
way  or  another.  If  the  PVTA 
(Pioneer  Valley  Transit  Author- 
ity) were  cut  off,  I'm  sure  we'd 
feel  it,"  Mascis  said.  The  PVTA 
added  stops  near  the  shopping 
center  on  the  Amherst-North- 
ampton route  after  the  free  bus 


.  .     THERE  GOES 


was  cancelled. 

Dick  Allen,  manager  of  JC 
Penny,  said  it  is  hard  to  access 
the  impact  of  the  "Annie  Haul- 
er". The  mall's  overall  business 
has  been  improving  due  to  mat- 
uration, Allen  said.  The  bus, 
which  had  originally  been  part 
of  a  promotion,  had  become  too 


expensive,  he  said.  In  1978, 
when  the  mall  opened  and  the 
free  bus  was  introduced,  gaso- 
line was  approximately  58<t:  a 
gallon,  Allen  said,  "naturally 
we  would  be  tickled  to  death  if 
we  had  it,  but  I  understand  the 
decision  to  discontinue  it,"  he 

said.  -Melissa  Galagher

spring  Concert  Becomes  Community  Day 


"Sorry,  but  no  food,  drink, 
cans,  containers  of  any  kind,  or 
green  socks  will  be  allowed  into 
the  stadium."  That's  the  way 
the  advertisements  for  "Com- 
munity Day"  ran  this  year. 

Gone  is  the  heyday  of  Spring 
Concert.  Gone  are  the  times 
when  students  planned  for 
weeks  the  ways  in  which  they 
would  get  their  picnic  lunches 
together  and  smuggle  in  beers 
for  "Spring  Concert",  the  one 
day  a  year  when  the  entire  uni- 
versity could  get  together,  for- 
get the  rest  of  the  world,  and 
simply  enjoy  themselves.  Nev- 
er again  will  names  like  "Great- 


ful  Dead"  and  "Allman  Broth- 
ers" be  seen  on  the  program  for 
the  spring  event. 

"Community  Day"  is  the  cul- 
mination of  Community  Week 
for  the  Amherst-Hadley  area, 
where  in  the  past.  Spring  Con- 
cert was  set  apart  as  the  only 
day  when  the  entire  student 
body  from  the  five-college  area 
could  get  together.  Not  only 
has  the  entire  purpose  of  the 
concert  changed,  but  so  many 
restrictions  have  been  placed 
upon  the  event  that,  as  Sopho- 
more Roni  Smith  describes  it, 
"Spring  Concert  has  become 
Spring  Headache." 


Only  6,500  people  attended 
this  year's  low-key  event.  In 
contast  to  Spring  Concerts  of 
the  past  two  years,  when  atten- 
dence  reached  30,000,  there 
were  no  arrests  and  few  other 
problems  of  any  nature. 

Although  performers  Bonnie 
Raitt,  John  Hall,  and  B.B.  King 
gave  a  top-rate  show,  few  peo- 
ple feel  as  though  they  missed 
anything  important.  Senior 
Caren  Troia  summed  it  up 
when  she  commented,  "things 
are  tough  when  you  can't  even 
have  a  picnic  lunch  while  you 
listen  to  the  music. 


BANXKD:  CO-FJ)  BATHROOMS 


Dormitory  bathrooms  at 
UMass,  many  of  which  have 
been  co-ed  since  1971,  were 
turned  into  single-sex  facilities 
at  the  beginning  of  fall  semes- 
ter 1981. 

Marjorie  Lenn,  the  director  of 
residential  life,  sent  a  memo  to 
dormitory  staff  members  last 
February  stating  that  the 
change  was  brought  about  by 
increasing  concern  among  par- 
ents and  students"  who  are  dis- 
turbed by  the  sharing  of  hereto- 
for  'private  space'!" 

Lenn's  memo  also  stated  that 
the  Massachusetts  State  Plumb- 
ing Code  requires  separate  toi- 
let  facilities   although   it   does 


not  prohibit  coed  bathrooms. 

Under  the  proposed  policy, 
in  dormitories  which  have  two 
bathrooms,  one  will  be  for  men 
and  the  other  will  be  for  wom- 
en. 

Where  there  is  only  one  bath- 
room on  a  floor,  it  will  be  de- 
signed for  either  male  or  female 
use.  Men  or  Women  who  live 
on  a  floor  where  there  is  an  op- 
posite sex  bathroom  will  have 
to  go  to  another  floor.  Accord- 
ing to  the  memo,  state  regula- 
tions require  that  a  bathroom 
may  not  be  more  than  one  floor 
from  a  person's  room. 

In  a  single-sex  dorm,  visi- 
tors of  the  opposite  sex  will 


be  required  to  use  the  dorm's 
public  facilities. 

The  memo  stated  that  dorms 
in  the  Northeast  Residential 
Area  and  the  highrise  dorms  in 
Southwest  will  present  the 
greatest  problems  in  imple- 
menting a  new  policy  because 
they  have  a  single  bathroom  on 
each  floor. 

The  low-rise  dorms  in  South- 
west and  dorms  in  Central,  Or- 
chard Hill,  and  Sylvan  Residen- 
tial Areas  would  be  simpler  to 
change  to  adhere  to  the  policy 
because  the  buildings  have 
more  than  one  bathroom  on 
each  floor,  the  memo  stated.

STUDENTS  FIGHT  BUILDING  OF 
NEW  CANDY  COUNTER 


Organized  student  protests 
are  mounting  against  the 
47,000,  newly  renovated  mini 
store  in  the  Student  Union  lob- 
by as  it  nears  completion. 

The  Student  Coalition  for 
Educational  Research  and  Ad- 
vocacy, (SCERA),  has  set  up  a 
table  across  from  the  renova- 
tion worksight  and  are  collect- 
ing signatures  for  a  petition. 
They  are  making  the  following 
demands:  that  the  Student 
Union  Mini  Store  be  made 
accessable  to  handicapped  peo- 
ple; that  the  mini  store  be  stu- 
dent controlled  and  student  op- 
erated; that  all  revenue  received 
be  controlled  by  students;  that 
all  renovations  over  $5,000 
within  the  Campus  Center/Stu- 
dent Union  complex  be  decided 
upon  from  both  the  Graduate 
and  Undergraduate  Student 
Senates. 

SCERA's     dissatisfaction 


stems  from  the  fact  that  the 
Board  of  Governors  never  took 
a  vote  to  approve  renovating 
the  candy  counter  into  the  mini 
store.  SCERA  member  Arvid 
Muller  described  other  projects 
which  he  felt  were  deserving  of 
$47,000. 

"Just  look  at  the  ceiling  its 
falling  apart,"  said  Muller.  "We 
have  leaky  ceilings  and  electri- 
cal problems  which  are  a  fire 
hazard.  This  mini  store  is  an 
incredible  slap  in  the  face  to 
students." 

The  mini  store,  which  was 
supposed  to  be  completed  to- 
day, went  under  contract  on 
September  6, 1980.  The  plans  as 
they  were  originally  presented 
to  the  Board  of  Governors,  a 
student  group  which  oversees 
the  Campus  Center  Complex, 
proposed  the  construction  of  a 
sweet  shop  to  be  located  across 
from  the  University  Store.  The 


proposal  was  rejected  as  it 
stood.  The  BOG  never  did  ap- 
prove the  construction  of  the 
mini  store. 

Another  protest  group,  com- 
posed of  40  UMass  students  has 
filed  a  complaint  in  Hampshire 
County  Superior  Court  claim- 
ing that  the  Board  of  Trustees 
illegally  approved  the  renova- 
tions of  the  student  union  mini 
store  and  raised  residence  hall 
costs. 

Campus  Center  Director 
William  Harris  described  the 
goal  of  the  new  store  as  offering 
a  much  nicer  atmosphere  and 
being  an  overall  improvement 
over  the  candy  county. 

Abramoff,  however,  said  she 
agree  that  changes  are  needed 
for  a  better  liason  between  ad- 
ministration and  students.

SPEAKERS 

D.V.P.  has  brought  us  many  challenging 
speakers,  ones  that  many  of  us  will  not  soon 
forget.  Here's  a  small  sampling  . . . 


G.  GORDON  LIDDY 


On  September  23rd,  1980, 
controversial  personality  G. 
Gordon  Liddy  visited  the  Fine 
Arts  Center  at  UMass  to  kick 
off  his  national  lecturing  tour. 
Liddy's  history  includes  a  stint 
with  the  F.B.I,  and  a  top  post  in 
the  Nixon  Administration 
where  he  directed  the  famous 
EUsberg  and  Watergate  break- 
ins.  He  was  sentenced  to  jail 
but  was  commuted  by  Presi- 
dent Carter.  Because  of  his  past, 
many  students  objected  to  his 
presence  on  campus.  The  Dis- 
tinguished Visitors  Program 
invited  pacifist  Daniel  Ellsberg 
to  speak  later  in  the  semester  to 
hear  the  other  side. 


Liddy  delivered  a  strong 
speach  which  included  a  cri- 
tique of  American  weaknesses 
and  an  overview  of  Washington 
behind  closed  doors. 

Students  were  able  to  ask 
questions  and  Liddy  fielded 
them  brilliantly  in  his  autheri- 
tative  speaking  style.  When 
asked  about  national  security 
he  said  the  underlying  cause  of 
U.S.  weakness  is  the  people's  il- 
lusion of  their  power  that  one 
finds  nowhere  else. 

After  the  lecture  Liddy  ex- 
pressed surprise  at  the  amount 
of  respect  given  him.  He  noted 
that  the  student  today  is  not  as 
rebellious  as  a  few  years  back. 
Student  reactions  ranged  from 
"a  genious",  to  "he's  a  fascist". 

-Ed  Wiles 


DICK  GREGORY 


Comedian  and  social  activist, 
Dick  Gregory  appeared  at  the 
Student  Union  Ball  Room  on 
Nov.  6th,  1980  to  speak  to  a 
crowd  of  900  students  and  fac- 
ulty members  about  his  inter- 
pretations of  social  problems: 
Social  or  Anti-Social? 

Although  the  prospective  to- 
pics of  concern  included  the 
KKK,  the  Nobel  Peace  Prize, 
the  Superpowers  vs.  Islam,  etc., 
they  were  more  like  tools  used 
to  introduce  Gregory's  main 
theme,  the  CIA  and  their  role  in 
the  government. 

As  soon  as  Gregory  stepped 
to  the  podium,  he  began  analyz- 
ing matters  with  his  witty  fer- 
vor. 

"This  is  a  dingy  old  room.  It 
looks  like  a  place  where  Jimmy 
Carter  and  Ronald  Reagan 
should  spent  the  rest  of  their 
lives,"  he  said. 


The  crowd  could  have  contin- 
ued at  this  pace  for  an  extended 
time.  However,  almost  as  sud- 
denly as  he  began,  and  to  the 
surprise  of  the  crowd,  Gregory 
stopped  laughing  and  said  in  a 
low  voice,  "there's  a  cold  day  in 
hell  when  truth  has  to  be  invali- 
dated by  ignorance." 

"You  let  the  CIA  topple  ev- 
eryone else's  government,  why 
not  let  them  come  and  topple 
yours? 

By  now  the  audience  was 
hushed  and  attentive,  while 
wondering  what  he  was  leading 
to. 

Gregory  claimed  that  the 
election  was  the  CIA's  way  of 
moving  George  Bush,  former 
CIA  director  into  the  presiden- 
tial seat.  n 

He  said.  It's  not  Ronald  Rea- 
gan, it's  George  Bush.  It  was  the 
CIA  before,   and   its   the   CIA 


now, 

"The  CIA  pulled  one  of  the 
biggest  ripoffs  in  American 
history.  They  are  in  the  process 
of  taking  over  the  government 
and  there  is  a  pistol  upside  your 
head,  induced  into  your  sub- 
conscience's  mind  garden." 

Gregory  said  that,  just  like 
John  F.  Kennedy,  his  Ijrothers, 
Martin  Luther  King,  and  Mal- 
colm X,  Reagan  too  would  be  a 
victim  of  the  CIA  hit  list.  He 
also  included  that  the  individ- 
ual who  will  be  blamed  for  the 
assassination  will  likely  be  a 
student. 

Gregory  entered  the  enter- 
tainment field  in  1961  as  a 
comedian  and  used  his  talent  to 
give  benefits  for  civil  rights 
groups,  peace  groups,  and  hu- 
man rights  groups. 

At  49,  the  outspoken  man  is 
known  as  a  recording  artist,  po- 
litical analyst,  critic,  author,  ac- 
tor, social  satirist  and  philos- 
opher.  -Kimberly  Green

GEORGE  MCGOVERN 


Former  South  Dakota  Sena- 
tor George  McGovern  warned  a 
crowd  of  over  a  thousand  last 
March  in  the  student  union 
ballroom  of  the  threat  to  the  na- 
tion by  the  New  Right  and  the 
policies  of  President  Reagan. 

McGovern  said  the  highly 
organized  assault  on  the  sena- 
tors and  representatives  by  the 
Moral  Majority  posed  a  threat 
to  both  the  Nation  and  religion. 

The  new  right's  use  of  super- 
ficial arguments  and  influence 
in  the  religious  realm  to  further 
their  own  political  dogma  must 
be  met  by  the  clear-thinking 
American,  McGovern  said. 

Being  one  of  the  Senators  de- 
feated by  the  New  Right's  cam- 
paign, McGovern  said  he  will 
use  his  time  out  of  office  to 
work  on  a  new  organization 
called  Americans  for  Common 
Sense  (acs). 

The  ACS  will  use  the  New 
Right's   tactics   of   direct   mail 


fund  raisers  and  the  use  of  the 
media  to  counter  attacks 
against  liberal  office  holders 
targeted  by  the  New  Right. 

McGovern  also  condemned 
President  Reagan's  policy  to- 
ward El  Salvador  as  the  same 
old  arguments  used  before  the 
Viet  Nam  war. 

Reagan's  proposed  educa- 
tional cuts  were  also  attacked 
by  the  former  Senator  who 
called  them  a  threat  to  the  qual- 
ity of  education  in  the  United 
States. 

McGovern  said  the  liberal 
defeat  of  1980  may  be  a  good 
thing  by  giving  the  public  the 
chance  to  test  conservatism  and 
allowing  liberals  time  to  find 
better  answers  to  the  same  old 
issues. 

Neither  party  had  solutions 
that  were  satisfactory  he  said. 
McGovern  cited  the  fact  that 
half  the  population  refused  to 
vote  as  proof  of  this. 


The  Senator  also  questioned 
the  conservative  policy  of  dere- 
gulation of  government  when 
they  were  deciding  issues  such 
as  abortion.

ABBIE  HOFFMAN 


Abbie  Hoffman,  the  1960's 
"Yippie"  leader  and  nationally 
prominent    anti-Vietnam    war 


activist  appeared  at  the  UMass 
Fine  Arts  Concert  Hall  on  Feb- 
ruary 18,  1981. 

Hoffman,  43,  a  Worcester  na- 
tive, surrendered  himself  last 
September  after  living  "under- 
ground" for  more  than  six 
years. 

Arrested  in  1974  for  allegedly 
selling  cocaine  to  an  undercover 
FBI  agent,  Hoffman  jumped 
bail  and  went  into  hiding. 
When  he  surfaced  in  Septem- 
ber, Hoffman  revealed  that  he 
had  been  living  on  Wellsey  Is- 
land in  Upstate  New  York,  pos- 
ing as  a  writer  and  playing  a 
leadership  role  in  a  drive  to  save 
the  St.  Lawrence  River  from  a 
planned  dredging  operation. 

As  "Barry  Fried",  Hoffman 
lived  with  his  girlfriend,  former 
model  Johanna  Lawrenson,  and 
his  9-year-old  son.  He  testified 
before  congressional  commit- 
tees   in    Washington    and    re- 


ceived letters  of  commendation 
from  New  York  Gov.  Hugh 
Carey  for  his  river  conservation 
efforts.  Hoffman  has  also  re- 
vealed that  he  has  encountered 
numerous  old  acquaintences 
while  a  fugitive,  but  those  peo- 
ple never  recognized  him  after 
he  had  undergone  surgery  and 
grown  a  beard. 

Last  September,  Hoffman 
surfaced  to  tell  his  story,  face 
the  drug  charges,  return  to  the 
political  scene  and  lecture  on 
College  Campuses.  Hoffman 
first  gained  national  promi- 
nence in  the  60's  during  the 
height  of  the  anti-Vietnam  war 
effort.  A  student  leader,  Hoff- 
man became  leader  of  the  Yip- 
pies,  speaking  out  for  its  poli- 
cies and  participation  in  the 
war.

UMASS  STUDENTS:  DOING  WHAT  THEY  DO  BEST? 


Sixty  Union  members  at  the 
Amerst  Nursing  Home  on  Uni- 
versity Drive  went  on  strike  on 
September  23rd,  1980  to  ask  the 
management  "for  higher  wages, 
for  retroactive  pay,  and  for  the 
right  to  retain  a  Union  shop," 
according  to  the  Daily  Colle- 
gian. After  four  months  of  ne- 
gotiations, the  non-profession- 
al staff  workers  walked  off  of 
their  jobs  and  onto  the  picket 
lines  in  front  of  the  Nursing 
Home. 

Two  days  later,  the  UMASS 
Student  Senate  allocated 
$470.00  to  the  support  of  these 
strikers,  and  three  days  later, 
they  were  joined  on  their  line 
by  several  UMass  students. 

Although  some  people  may 
think  that  UMass  students  of 
all  people  should  know  how  to 
stage  a  peaceful  protest,  they 
were  met  with  reports  of  stu- 
dent arrests  for  tresspassing, 
interferring  with  employees, 
and  disorderly  conduct.  The 
strike  only  lasted  five  days,  but 
seven  UMASS  students  faced 
trial  on  March  16th  for  charges 
ranging  from  destruction  of 
property  to  assault  and  battery 
on  a  police  officer. 

None  of  the  60  original  strik- 
ers was  hurt  or  arrested  during 
the  protest,  so  how  did  the  stu- 
dents become  involved? 

At  a  Student  Senate  Meeting 
held  on  September  24th,  money 
was  allotted  for  videotaping  the 
strike,  and  strike  organizer 
Richard  Spencer  solicited  stu- 
dent support.  Many  students 
answered  Spencer's  plea  and 
went  to  the  picket  line,  while 
others  went  simply  to  exhibit 
their  spirit  of  community  sup- 
port for  the  Union.  People  who 
started  out  trying  to  help  the 


Nursing  Home  workers,  wound 
up  getting  into  fights,  and  caus- 
ing problems  by  illegally  enter- 
ing the  home  with  non-striking 
workers.  Fourteen  of  these 
same  "concerned"  students 
were  arrested,  and  seven  of 
them  were  fined  for  their  ac- 
tions at  the  Nursing  Home. 

The  five  days  of  peaceful,  and 
not-so-peaceful  picketing  re- 
sulted in  a  new  contract  for  the 
workers,  calling  for  a  $1.15 
wage  increase  over  two  years, 
retroactive  pay  to  July  1st,  a  two 


day  increase  in  sick  days,  and 
an  agency  fee.  Obviously,  this 
is  of  great  advantage  to  the 
workers,  but  I'm  interested  in 
knowing  what  good  this  whole 
commotion  did  for  the  students 
here  at  UMass  that  got  arrested 
and  fined  for  their  cause.

TO  GRADE,  OR  NOT 
TO  GRADE?  THAT  IS 
THE  QUESTION. 


The  Faculty  Senate  defeated 
by  a  33-25  vote  a  motion  to 
change  the  pass/fail  system  so 
that  only  grades  of  C  or  better 
be  recorded  as  a  P.  About  100 
students  present  broke  into 
spirited  applause  when  the  vote 
was  taken. 

Proposals  to  refer  the  motion 
back  to  the  committee  and  to 
ammend  the  motion  to  permit 
C/D's  and  D's  to  be  recorded  as 
a  P  with  the  written  permission 
of  the  instructor,  was  defeated 
earlier. 

SGA  treasurer  Rich  Goldman 
said  over  2,000  students  signa- 
tures had  been  collected  in  less 
than  24  hours  in  support  of  the 
present  pass/fail  system. 

Harry  Schumer,  chairman  of 


the  Academic  Matters  Council 
(AMC)  last  year  when  the  coun- 
cil developed  the  motion,  said 
there  was  no  doubt  that  the  stu- 
dents had  an  effect  on  the  vote. 

In  a  report,  the  AMC  said  a 
change  in  P/F  was  directly  or 
indirectly  by  the  data  received 
from  the  registrar's  office  indi- 
cating that  students  who  select 
the  pass/fail  option  tend  to  get 
a  greater  proportion  of  CD's 
and  D's  than  those  who  take 
courses  on  a  graded  basis. 

The  AMC  claims  that  a  lack 
of  student  effort  is  mainly  to 
blame  for  the  lower  student 
grades. 

Goldman  said  he  was  "insult- 
ed by  the  implication  that  stu- 
dents neglect  their  academic  re- 


sponsibilities. The  statistics 
don't  show  me  how  pass/fail  is 
being  abused." 

The  statistics  used  in  the  re- 
port are  comparisions  of  grades 
of  students  who  took  a  course 
P/F  and  students  who  took  the 
course  for  a  grade.  Lower  divi- 
sion French,  rhetoric,  math, 
botany,  and  sociology  courses 
were  chosen. 

Goldman  questioned  the  va- 
lidity of  the  statistics,  citing  as 
faults  a  narrow  sampling  size, 
the  fact  that  the  courses  exam- 
ined were  all  freshman  level 
courses,  and  the  fact  that  the 
statistics  don't  show  how  many 
students  had  a  P  changed  to  a 
grade  to  help  their  average.

"Parle  Vous  Francais?" 
"dHabla  Ud.  Espanol?" 
"Can  You  Speak  English?" 


Although  most  of  us  can 
speak  English  to  some  degree, 
many  of  us  need  to  broaden  our 
knowledge  of  other  cultures  by 
learning  a  second  language. 
That  is  probably  why  there  is  a 
requirement  for  all  students  in 
the  college  of  arts  and  sciences 
(CAS)  at  this  University  to  take 
four  semesters  of  a  language. 

In  the  past,  all  students  in 
CAS  took  the  courses  to  fulfill 
this  requirement,  but  as  of 
April  15th,  1981,  the  require- 


ment was  removed  for  all  stu- 
dents who  have  already  had 
four  years  of  one  language  or 
three  years  of  one  and  two  years 
of  another  language  in  high 
school.  Students  who  were  en- 
rolled in  a  lower  level  language 
course  that  semester  to  fulfill 
their  requirement  even  though 
their  background  was  adequate 
were  allowed  to  withdraw  from 
their  courses  without  being  giv- 
en an  F,  as  is  usually  the  case 
with  late  withdrawals.  W's  will 


appear  on  these  students'  tran- 
scripts, and  no  penalty  will  be 
incurred  for  late  withdrawal. 

Many  people  feel  that  the 
change  was  m.ade  because  of  a 
cut  in  the  budget,  thinking  that 
the  fewer  sections  of  a  class 
taught,  the  less  it  will  cost, 
while  others  are  just  plain 
greatful  for  a  welcome  change 
that  has  been  a  long  time  com- 
ing.

PEOPLE 

TAKE  A 
MOMENT 

Believe  it  not,  there  is  life  be- 
yond UMass,  and  its  been  quite 
interesting  watching  all  tnose 
people  out  there  : . .  Don  Zim- 
mer,  one  of  the  winningest 
managers  in  Red  Sox  History, 
came  out  on  the  losing  end  of 
contract  negotiations  last  Octo- 
ber. Although  Zimmer's  career 
with  Boston  lasted  over  two 
years,  he  never  managed  to 
please  the  fans,  the  press,  and 
obviously,  not  the  management 
. . .  One  name  most  "UMies" 
do  recognize  is  that  of  Gary 


Trudeau.  Trudeau  is  both  the 
brains  and  the  artist  behind  the 
cartoon  "Doonsbury",  which 
appeared  in  the  Massachusetts 
Daily  Collegian  every  day.  Tru- 
deau has  won  a  Pulitzer  Prize 
for  this  controversial  "Doons- 
bury" strip,  yet  in  the  past  year, 
many  publishers  have  refused 
to  run  the  cartoon  . . .  designs 
for  a  radiation  screen  over  the 
Campus  Center  and  for  an  open 
air  Plaza  in  front  of  the  Student 
Union  won  first  and  second 
prizes  in  the  Spring  1980  Envi- 
ronmental Design  Competi- 
tion. The  Radiation  Screen  de- 
sign was  done  by  Glen  Ruga, 
and  the  Plaza  design  was  done 
by  Patrick  Condon  .  . .  there 
was  a  lot  of  interest  in  a  small, 
furry  personality  this  past  year. 
As    you    may    have    guessed. 


"Garfield",  a  United  Feature 
Syndicated  comic  strip  by  Jim 
Davis  was  accused  or  being  a 
real  person.  Apparantly,  some 
people  think  that  cats  aren't  fat 
and  ornery,  and  that  they  don't 
really  eat  lasagna.  Well,  how 
many  furry  humans  do  you 
know?  . .  .  Britain's  Prince 
Charles,  heir  to  the  British 
throne  married  Lady  Diana 
Spencer  this  past  summer  . . . 
Connecticut  lost  one  of  its  most 
dedicated  governors  in  Febru- 
ary of  1981.  Mrs.  Ella  Grasso, 
61,  had  been  governor  for  seven 
years  before  surrendering  to 
cancer  .  . .  Another  outstanding 
American  figure,  Walter  Cron- 
kite,  is  but  a  memory  now. 
After  19  years  of  anchoring  the 
news,  Cronkite  retired  this  year 
. . .  "And  that's  the  way  it  was."

THE  HERE 


There  are  plenty  of  things  for 
us  UMass  students  to  do,  and 
we've  been  caught  doing  just 
about  everything.  From  soaps 
to  strikes,  from  water  to  Whit- 
more,  we  UMies  have  been  go- 
ing strong,  (or  is  it  crazy?) 

Somehow,  we  have  managed 
to  be  ourselves,  (that's  when  we 
could  find  ourselves!)  We  have 
found  the  places  where  we  fit 
in.  Whether  it  be  in  front  of  the 
T.V.  watching  General  Hospi- 


tal, or  standing  on  the  picket 
line  for  something  we  believe 
in,  we  have  all  found  the  places 
where  we  fit  into  the  puzzle  of 
UMass. 

Here  is  a  sampling  of  what  a 
few  of  our  counterparts  are  up 
to  . .  .  Jon  Day,  a  graduate  stu- 
dent in  the  Entomology  depart- 
ment, has  won  the  Jobbins

AND  FOR  THEIR  UNDYING  DEDICATION 


There  are  more  than  a  thou- 
sand professors  and  adminis- 
trators at  this  University,  but 
throughout  our  stay  here,  we 
students  only  get  to  know  a 
very  small  group  of  them.  Of- 
ten students  find  their  "profs" 
to  be  understanding  and  tne  ad- 
ministration to  be  very  helpful, 
but  unfortunately,  the  students 
don't  know  very  much  about 
these  men  and  women  or  their 
accomplishments  .  .  .  Vice 
Chancellor  Beatty,  whose  resig-

about  what  laws  will  be 
changed  by  the  ERA,  if  family

on  November  7th,  1980. 

It  was  supposed  to  end:  "Ap-

haps it  would've  been  under-

week  later,  the  Secret  Service 
called  on  Rob  Stein,  the  editor 
of  the  Collegian,  to  get  the

Arbor  Day  —  April  24  —  was

The  newest  sight  on  campus

compared  to  a  previous  high 
number  of  4,111  enrolled  two 
years  ago. 


Classes  at  UMASS  were  can- 
celled on  November  19th  1981, 
because  of  snow.  The  1st  clos-

Heavy  whiskey,  beer  and 
wine  drinkers  may  run  a  great- 
er risk  of  mouth  cancer  than 
two-pack-a-day  cigarette  smok- 
ers, the  American  Cancer  Soci- 
ety Journal  reported  last  Spring 
.  .  .  Four  scientists  in  London 
have  reported  the  development 
of  an  electronic  computer  that 
signals  a  woman's  period  of  fer- 
tility —  an  advance  that  could

Chlorine  in  drinking  water

doesn't  it? 

A  Study  by  a  University  of 
Massachusetts/Amherst  re-

The  list  of  substances  that 
cause  cancer,  heart  disease  or 
other  ills  to  which  flesh  is  heir 
seems  to  grow  daily.  Pesticides, 
coffee,  caffeine,  saccharin,  ni- 
trate-cured meats  —  even  pea-

linked  to  heightened  risk  of

SEX,  DRUGS,  and  ROCK  &  ROLL

Subliminal  sex  has  found  the 
blue  jean.  From  the  time  of  the 
utilitarian  jean  of  the  turn-of- 
the-century-cowboy  to  the  sen- 
sual body-hugging  garment 
that  today  envelops  the  lower 
half  of  teen  sex  siren  Brooke 
Shields,  the  blue  jean  has  joined 
the  television  generation.  In  a 
two-year-old  craze  that  only  re- 
cently hit  Massachusetts,  tele- 
vision advertisers  have  done  to 
the  jean  what  they  do  to  nearly 
everything  they  want  to  sell  on 
the  tube:  They  turned  it  sexy. 
This  time  it  seems  more  blatant 
than  ever  .  .  .  The  legal  drink- 
ing age  in  Massachusetts  was 
raised  from  18  to  20  years  old  in 
April,  1979.  According  to  a  ran- 
dom survey  of  30  UMASS  stu- 
dents, however,  the  law  has 
done  nothing  to  stop  18  and  19 
year-olds  from  drinking  alco- 
hol! .  .  .  The  30  respondents 
unanimously  agreed  there  was 
widespread  defiance  of  the  law 
among  18  and  19  year-olds. 
There  was  some  difference  of 
opinion  as  to  what  the  legal  age 


should  be.  More  than  two- 
thirds  of  the  students  surveyed 
thought  the  age  should  be  18, 
while  a  little  less  than  a  third 
felt  the  age  should  be  19.  One 
student  said  he  agreed  with  the 
present  age  of  20  ... 

Should  Marijuana  be  legal-

The  above  results  were  ob- 
tained through  a  recent  survey 
conducted  by  the  Collegian. 
Thirty  students  were  selected  at 
random  and  asked  their  views 
on  the  legalization  of  marijua- 
na. Richard  Evans,  the  counsel 
to  the  Massachusetts  chapter  of 
the  National  Organization  for 
the  Reform  of  Marijuana  Laws 
says  the  term  legal  in  the 
group's  name  indicated  a  con- 
trolled taxable,  product.  Evans 
said  he  wants  to  see  marijuana 


distributed  and  regulated  on  a 
similar  basis  as  alcohol.  Legal- 
ization to  him  doesn't  mean  an 
unregulated  market  ...  A 
study  of  doctors  who  run  in 
marathons  provides  new  evi- 
dence that  moderated  drinking 
may  help  prevent  heart  disease 
...  In  addition  to  whatever  else 
it  does  to  the  human  body, 
marijuana  is  known  to  have 
anti-glaucome  properties.  Bio-

IT'S  A  MATTER  OF 
LIFE  AND  DEATH 


The  University  of  Massachu- 
setts Hunger  Task  Force  has 
announced  that  total  contribu- 
tions to  OXFAM  from  the 
Spring  Fast,  held  last  April  16, 
amounted  to  $3,800  .  .  .  The  na- 
tions scheduled  trunk  and  lo- 
cal-service airlines  in  1980  post- 
ed the  lowest  number  of  fatal 
accidents  and  deaths  in  the 
modern  aviation  era,  one  crash 
that  killed  13  persons  at  the  end 
of  1980. 

The  previous  low  for  the  era 
was  17  deaths  in  1933  and  the 
one  fatal  accident  has  not  been 
matched  since  at  least  1928,  the 
Federal  Aviation  Administra- 
tion said  . . .  The  census  bureau 
completed  its  preliminary  state- 


by-state  head  count  pegging  the 
national  population  as  of  last 
April  1,  at  225,234,182,  an  in- 
crease of  21.4  million  people 
over  the  1970  census. 

The  last  state  to  be  counted, 
because  of  a  fire  last  October  at 
a  Brooklyn  record-keeping  fa- 
cility, was  New  York,  whose 
population  the  bureau  said  was 
17,476,798.  The  figure  indicated 
a  drop  of  4.2  percent  in  the 
state's  population  in  the  last 
decade  .  .  .  Nationwide,  suicide 
is  now  the  third  leading  cause 
of  death  among  youngsters 
ages  15-19,  ranking  just  behind 
accidents  and  homicides.  In 
1977,  the  last  year  for  which  fig- 
ures are  available,  1,871  teen- 


agers in  that  bracket  killed 
themselves,  a  20%  increase  in 
one  year  and  a  200%  increase 
since  1950  .  .  .  Romance  is  not

ing the  same  period.

will  cost  about  $4.50,  compared 
with  $1.50.  Going  to  the  movies 
once  a  couple  of  bucks,  is  now

original  embryos  .  .  .  The  dawn

moving  closer.  Researchers  are 
now  extending  their  experi-

April  of  1981  scientists  at  the 
University  of  California  in  Los 
Angeles  reported  they  had  in- 
serted into  intact  adult  mice  a 
gene  that  makes  cells  resistant 
to  a  specific  drug. 

Last  October  a  team  of  Yale 
University  scientists  an- 
nounced they  had  altered  an 
animals  hereditary  make  up  at  a 
more  basic  level,  by  injecting 
foreign  genes  into  a  mouse  at 
its  earliest  stage  of  develop- 
ment, a  fertilized  egg  .  .  .

'9  to  5'  wins  overtime 

The  story  of  the  year  in  Hollywood  is  the  disastrous 
decline  in  the  quality  of  movies  and  (perhaps  not  un- 
related) the  decline  in  moviegoing  attendance. 

There  is,  however,  another  story,  less  publicized  but 
more  interesting.  That  is  the  success  of  "9  to  5". 

What  accounts  for  "9  to  5s"  popularity?  Is  it  the 
slapstick?  If  it  is,  why  isn't  all  slapstick  successful? 
Why  didn't  everyone  flock  to  "Coin'  Ape?" 

Is  it  Jane  Fonda,  one  of  the  big  box-office  names? 
But  Fonda  is  so  muted  in  the  film  you  scarecely  notice 
her.  Lily  Tomlin  carries  the  picture.  At  best,  Dolly 
Parton  is  an  interesting  sideshow. 

I  have  two  theories,  which  may  be  the  same  one.  It  is 
that  this  is  the  closest  thing  to  a  pure  "woman's  pic- 
ture" as  Hollywood  has  given  us-  and  it's  a  woman's 
picture  for  everyone. 

Still,  I  think  men  can  enjoy  "9  to  5."  What  I  re- 
sponded to  was  the  deft  ensemble  playing  of  the  prin- 
cipals. Instead  of  the  one-dimensional  sterotype  fe- 
male standard  to  most  Hollywood  movies,  we  are  giv- 
en, in  "9  to  5,"  three  distinct  characters.  Each  is  a  facet 
of  feminity.  Each  has  a  brain.  She  just  chooses  to  use  it 
in  her  own  way. 

"9  to  5"  has  an  interesting  history  as  a  movie.  It  was 
Alan  Ladd,  Jr's  last  project  before  quitting  as  head  of 
20th  Century-Fox  to  start  his  own  company. 

If  there's  any  discernible  trend  in  current  movies, 
it's  a  disposition  toward  sadism.  The  central  image  of 
the  day  is  a  helpless,  frightened  vulnerable  girl  being 
preyed  upon  by  a  psychopath.  It's  not  exactly  the  kind 
of  issue  that  "9  to  5"  led  us  to  anticipate-but  it's  all  that 
remains  of  the  hopes  raised  by  '9  to  5's"  original  re- 
lease.

''Ordinary  People'': 

extraordinary 

The  drought  is  over. 

There  is  finally  an  American  film,  and  a  commercial 
one  at  that,  which  manages  to  present  relationships  in 
some  degree  of  complexity,  which,  with  only  a  few 
lapses,  provides  real,  meaningful  dialogue,  which 
makes  a  thematic  statement  which  draws  outstanding 
performances  where  none  might  be  expected,  and 
which  marks  a  fine  directorial  debut. 

Beyond  these,  what  sets  "Ordinary  People"  above, 
way  above,  other  recent  efforts  is  its  overall  realism.  I 
had  expected  to  be  midly  critical  of  yet  another  film 
that  catalogued  the  tragedies  that  beset  the  beautiful 
people.  Not  that  the  upper  middle  classes  and  above 
don't  feel  their  tragedies;  it's  just  that  there  is  so  much 
that  needs  to  be  said,  that  Hollywood  seems  reluctant 
to  say,  about  the  middle  and  lower  classes  whose  day 
to  day  life  is  often  a  tragedy  in  itself. 

But  "Ordinary  People"  is  primarily  a  film  about 
caring  and  the  lacking  of  this  trait  seems  particularly 
pandemic  among  those  upwardly  mobile  sorts  who 
have  surrounded  themselves  with  material  goods. 
There  are,  in  the  film,  brief,  scathing  attacks  on  this 
phenomenon.  An  archetypal  cocktail  party,  a  jogging 
partner  who  huffs  continuously  about  the  stock  mar- 
ket, and  the  petty  dinner  conversations  and  minor 
league  escapist  jet-setting  that  exist  in  the  midst  of 
personal  crisis-are  all  presented  with  a  sharp  impres- 
sionism.

REO  Speedwagon 

Watching  REO  Speedwagon 
is  like  wandering  the  yellow 
brick  roads  of  an  indoor  shop- 
ping mall.  Any  indoor  shop- 
ping mall.  It's  bright,  clean, 
cheery.  Above  all,  it's  familiar. 
You  know  what  you're  going  to 
find,  and  you  know  you're  not 
going  to  get  rained  on  "Dallas" 
became  the  highest  rated  show 
in  the  history  of  television  as 
three  out  of  every  four  sets  in 
use  last  spring  were  tuned  in  to 
see  who  shot  J.R.  .  .  .  Seventy- 
five-year-old  Henry  Fonda 
wanted  to  fly  a  kite.  He  was 
standing  on  the  fringe  of  Bal- 
ston  Beach  one  morning  last 
fall,  killing  time  between  takes 
during  the  shooting  of  "Sum- 
mer Solstice,"  a  60-minute  telt- 
play  being  produced  by 
WCVB-TV  (Channel  5).  He  ap- 
peared thin  and  stooped  and 
tired.  But  as  he  walked  slowly 


through  the  mulberry  bushes 
looking  like  a  seasoned  beach- 
comber in  his  flannel  shirt  and 
straw  hat,  the  man  who  has 
been  an  actor  for  more  than  half 
a  century  did  not  go  to  his 
dressing  room.  It  is  truely  a 
"Golden  Age"  for  Henry  Fonda. 
PILOBOLUS 

They  almost  called  them- 
selves The  Vermont  Dance 
Theater.  Almost.  But,  then,  in  a 
portent  of  the  whimsey  to 
come,  they  settled  on  pilobolus, 
the  name  of  a  particularly  active 
fungus  one  of  them  had  studied 
in  Biology  class,  and  also  the 
title  of  the  first  dance  ever  cre- 
ated by  the  jocular  jocks  from 
Dartmouth  who  have  written 
one  of  the  most  peculiar  chap- 
ters in  American  dance  history. 

To  their  original  formula- 
macho  muscles,  bodies  clad  in 
white  unitards  and  acting  like 
human  flypaper,  and  electronic 
music-they  added  women,  dra- 
ma, and  tuneful  scores.  Along 
the  way,  they  turned  into  an  in- 
dustry which  allowed  the  origi- 


nal crew  to  enjoy  a  perpetual 
adolescence-an  income.  J.T. 

The  coffee  shop  was  not  the 
only  area  in  the  Campus  Center 
last  February  filled  with  with 
bleary,  tired-eyed  people. 

By  8  a.m.  there  were  121  peo- 
ple in  line  from  the  doorway  of 
Union  Records  Unlimited  in 
the  Student  Union  Building  ex- 
tending down  the  hall,  waiting 
to  purchace  tickets  for  the  Feb. 
9th  James  Talor  concert. 

David  Kim,  a  junior  polysci- 
/history  major  sat  at  the  head 
of  the  line.  "There  are  lots  of 
doors  open  in  this  place,"  Kim 
said.  He  camped  out  in  the  Cape 
Cod  lounge  until  4a.m.  when  he 
was  kicked  out  by  a  security 
guard,  .  .  . 

"I  don't  feel  too  bad  about 
that,  (the  wait)"  Julie  Maycock, 
a  freshmen  journalistic  studies 
major  said. 

"It's  better  than  the  Whit- 
more  line,"  Bob  Weatherwax,  a 
biochemistry  junior  said.  "It's 
faster  and  you  get  to  sit  down,". 


AND  DOWNS 


This  year's  bite-your-nails- 
artist  has  been  Bob  Seger,  the 
normally  durable  Detroiter 
who  pulled  a  shocker  of  his 
own  by  recently  cancelling  due 
,  to  flu  But  his  show  was  well 
I  worth  the  wait,  and  any  hassles 
about  the  show  were  quickly 
forgiven  .  .  .  Contrary  to  a  na- 
tional trend,  most  UMass  stu- 


dents interviewed  in  a  random 
survey  did  not  watch  "Dallas" 
to  find  out  who  shot  J.R.  Ewing 
.  .  .  Even  though  George  Carlin 
seems  to  be  a  comic  whose  style 
and  rhythms  derive  from  Lenny 
Bruce's  intimate,  "psyche  on 
the  sleeve"  revelations  are  not 
for  him.  He  dislikes  that  ap- 
proach to  comedy  because  "I 


don't  like  to  talk  about  my  own 
subjective  experience  because  it 
would  be  an  intrusion  into  my 
private  life"  . . .  James  Bond  is 
coming  back,still  with  his  007 
liscenceto  kill,  but  otherwise 
with  a  1980's  flavor.  He  will  be 
a  little  more  respectful  to  wom- 
en, consume  fewer  martinis  and

TWO  ROCK  GREATS 

Lennon/Springsteen 


Like  millions  of  other  pre-pubescent  girls  around  the 
world,  I  spent  years  collecting  many  Beatle  cards  with  bub- 
ble gum,  listening  to  Beatle  records  over  and  over  until  they 
ran  through  my  head,  buying  a  plastic  Beatles  wallet,  a 
Beatles  notebook,  reading  teen  magazines  about  their  lives. 
My  friends  and  I  talked  about  John,  Paul,  George  and  Ringo 
day  and  night,  all  of  us  smitten  with  little-girl  adoration. 
My  parent's  friends  were  bemused;  they  liked  to  ask  me 
about  the  Beatles  just  to  watch  the  young  enthusiasm  of  my 
response. 

My  mother  complained  about  the  noise,  the  unintelligibi- 
lity  of  the  words  of  rock  and  roll.  But  soon,  she  started 
humming  Beatles  songs  herself. 

She  didn't  like  most  rock  and  roll,  but  the  Beatles  were 
different,  she  admitted.  She  liked  the  music.  She  could  iden- 
tify the  songs  and  understand  the  words.  "Is  that  the  Bea- 
tles?" she  would  ask,  hearing  a  song  on  the  now-ever- 
tuned-in  AM  radio.  Often,  she  was  wrong;  she  tended  to 
think  any  melodic,  understandable  "kids"  song  was  a  Bea- 
tles song,  but  the  Beatles  were  a  bridge  from  my  generation 
to  hers. 

Lovely,  funny,  soulful  or  serious-  the  Beatles'  music  was 
unlike  the  music  of  the  more  psychedelic  Jefferson  Airplane 
or  the  meaner,  more  antisocial  Rolling  Stones.  It  told  my 
mother  something,  but  not  too  much,  about  the  revolution 
in  culture  and  values  that  my  peers  and  I  were  absorbing,  if 
not  creating.  She  didn't  agree  with  the  new  values,  but  she 
wasn't  frightened  by  the  Beatles. 

Neither  was  I.  Some  kids,  mostly  those  a  little  older  than 
I,  experimented  with  drugs  and  sex,  violently  opposed  their 
parents,  dropped  out  of  college,  were  arrested  in  anti-war 
protests.  But  the  real  army  of  Beatles  fans  weren't  the  most 
radical  kids. 

The  mainstream  Beatles  fans  needed  desperately  to  be- 
lieve in  public  figures  like  Bobby  Kennedy  and  Martin 
Luther  King  and  John  Lennon  -  to  guide  the  new  energy,  the 
new  generation  through  very  frightening  times.  We  were 
deeply  effected  by  the  violent  death  of  one  "Peace"  hero 
after  another.  When  acid  rock  stars  Janis  Joplin  and  Jimi 
Hendrix  killed  themselves  with  drugs,  it  didn't  just  horrify 
our  parents.  It  frightened  and  alienated  kids  like  me. 

The  Beatles  sang  of  absurdity  and  change,  of  the  work- 
ing-class wasteland,  the  emptiness  of  materialism,  the  iro- 
ny, silliness,  sadness  and  everlastingness  of  love.  Their 
thoughtful,  lyrical,  sane  rebellion  was  a  home  base  in  a 
kaleidoscope  of  revolution. 

Led  by  the  nervy,  sarcastic,  but  ultimately  gentle  John 
Lennon,  the  Beatles  amused  and  led  my  generation.  While 


the  heroes  fell,  unstoppably,  one  by  one,  while  the  war  in 
Vietnam  seemed  impossibly,  shockingly  persistant,  their 
music  kept  coming,  too,  enticing  us  to  dance  ourselves  tired 
or  just  to  think,  to  sing  along  or  just  "Let  It  Be." 

We  felt  deserted  when  Lennon  married  Yoko  Ono  and  the  « 
Beatles  split  up.  It  wasn't  wanting  to  be  young  again;  the^ 
Beatles  music  had  grown  up,  and  so  had  we.  But  it  was  one 
of  the  only  links  between  1963  and  1970  that  still  meant 
anything.  My  friends  and  I  would  have  traveled  miles,  spent 
outlandish  sums,  to  hear  the  Beatles  together  again.  We 
knew  we  would  have  been  soothed,  spoken  to  intelligently, 
brought  together  again  in  a  world  where  it  seemed  nothings 
good  lasted. 

But  Lennon  found,  after  troubled  years  in  the  early  1970sM 
that  the  family  was  the  center  he  had  looked  for,  and  so  his 
last  album  was  a  somewhat  sentimental  shrine  to  his  own.  If 
he's  right,  my  generation  will  be  OK  without  the  Beatles,  if 
it's  true  that  all  we  need,  or  perhaps  all  we  can  depend  on,  is  , 
love. 

Betsy  A  Lehman 

Just  when  you  think  all  the  fun  might  have  been 
wrenched  from  rock  'n'  roll,  Bruce  Springsteen  and  his  E 
Street  band  take  the  stage  and  deliver  four  hours  of  testimo- 
ny proving  that  rock  is  alive  and  well. 

Performing  only  days  after  the  death  of  John  Lennon  - 
whose  zeal  for  rock  ranked  with  Springsteen's  -  the  band  of 
Asbury  Park,  N.J.,  opened  last  winter's  show  at  the  Provi- 
dence Civic  Center  with  a  torrid  version  of  "Born  to  Run", 
brushing  aside  any  suspicions  that  the  concert  might  be 
subdued. 

Early  in  the  show,  Springsteen  -  in  one  of  two  references! 
to  the  fallen  Beatle-mumbled  "This  is  for  you,  Johnny,"  and 
launched  into  a  stately  version  of  "The  Promised  Land." 

Otherwise,  the  show  was  an  exercise  in  high-powered 
rock  'n'  roll. 

Springsteen  is  famed  for  playing  marathon  shows  -  a 
reputation  that  remains  intact. 

In  Providence,  Springsteen  -  "The  Boss"  to  his  fans  - 
ripped  through  some  30  songs,  ranging  from  "For  You"  and 
"Rosalita"  of  the  old  days,  to  Cadillac  Ranch",  "Hungry 
Heart"  and  "I'm  A  Rocker",  from  his  recent  hit  album  "The 
River". 

On  record,  Springsteen  can  be  exciting  and  moving,  but 
his  live  performances  are  legend,  and  with  good  reason.

TRAGEDY  IN  ATLANTA 


The  unsolved  murders  of 
black  children  in  Atlanta  have 
shocked  the  nation  and  given 
rise  to  questions  about  why 
such  killings  happen,  why  chil- 
dren are  the  victims,  and  what 
parents  can  do  to  protect  their 
children. 

A  profile  of  the  killer  and  the 
victims:  Psychodynamic  theor- 
ies predict  that  the  Atlanta  kill- 
er is  a  weak,  passive  person  of  a 
careful,  methodical  nature,  a 
person  with  mixed  needs  for  in- 
tamacy  and  aggression,  for 
whom  the  excitement  of  abduc- 
tion and  murder  or  sadomaso- 
chistic behavior  is  needed  for 
him  to  feel  sexual,  said  psychol- 
ogy Professor  Bonnie  Strick- 
land. 

She  believes  that,  when  the 
killer  is  found,  he  will  be  a  "pa- 
thetic and  tragic  person"  from  a 
disrupted  and  disturbed  family 
background,  who  may  feel  re- 
morse for  his  actions,  and,  at 
the  same  time,  a  perverse  plea- 
sure in  beating  all  those  trying 
to  find  him. 

The  victims  were  selected, 
she  believes,  because  all  were 
slight  in  build  and  may  have 
appeared  easy  to  overpower. 
Many  of  the  children  were 
"street  waise"  and  may  have 
been  expected  to  be  "savvy"  in 
dealing  with  a  dangerous  situa- 
tion. It  is  likely,  she  said,  that 
the  murderer  did  not  appear 
dangerous  or  that  the  children 
refused  to  believe  that  murder 


could  happen  to  them. 

Professor  Jon  Simpson  of  so- 
ciology describes  the  Atlanta 
killings  as  representative  of  the 
violence  most  usual  in  our  soci- 
ety. The  wide  news  coverage 
that  they  have  received  makes 
them  appear  to  be  more  repre- 
sentative than  they  are,  he  said. 
In  fact,  mass  killings  are  very 
infrequent,  rather  like  the  occa- 
sional airplane  disaster  that 
concerns  us  because  a  large 
number  of  people  are  killed, 
while  we  ignore  the  even  larger 
number  killed  in  car  accidents. 
Far  more  serious,  because  more 
common,  is  the  domestic  vio- 
lence usually  described  as  child 
or  wife  abuse 

"I  feel  that  the  Atlanta  situa- 
tion is  hopeless  in  the  sense  of 
the  feeling  of  frustration,"  he 
said.  "There  is  little  you  can  do 
to  reduce  the  probability  of  vio- 
lence in  society,  given  the  na- 
ture and  character  of  our  soci- 
ety. We  have  a  subculture  of 
violence  that  is  complicated  by 
the  complexities  of  human  na- 
ture, and  the  inability  of  human 
beings  to  control  their  destinies 
in  any  rational  way.  There  are 
so  many  possible  catalysts  to- 
ward violent  response  that  con- 
trol of  violence  is  a  very  diffi- 
cult task." 

The  Atlanta  Murders  may 
make  parents  more  protective 
of  their  children  for  a  limited 
period,  but  the  effects  will  be 
transistory,  said  Professor  M. 


Lawrence  Rawlings.  Once  the 
killer  is  caught,  everyone  will 
try  to  return  to  the  status-quo. 

"A  violent  person  can  be  any 
place,  any  time  and  there  is  lit- 
tle way  to  predict  where  vio- 
lence can  happen.  To  be  sud- 
denly concerned  about  a  single 
episode  doesn't  make  sense",  he 
said.  "You  should  be  concerned 
all  the  time  and  start  early 
teaching  children  where  the 
risks  are,  without  frightening 
them." 

Since  the  risk  of  violence  to 
children  is  most  common  with- 
in the  family,  Rawlings  would 
like  to  see  this  violence  combat- 
ted  by  re-educating  from  their 
patterns  of  using  voilence  to  re- 
lieve frustration  or  as  a  means 
of  controlling  children  or 
spouses.  Many  people  are  vio- 
lent, he  said,  because  they  don't 
know  their  other  options. 
Is  The  Media  Giving  The  Kill- 
ings Too  Much  Publicity? 

"The  hysteria  would  be  much 
worse  if  the  murders  weren't 
covered,"  said  Howard  Ziff. 
"What  social  ills  is  the  media 
accused  of  perpetrating  by  cov- 
ering it  when  a  large  number  of 
children  are  killed? 

Critics  of  the  media  who 
claim  that  publicity  about  kill- 
ings encourages  so-called  copy- 
cat killers  are  speaking  without 
evidence,  he  said. 

"They  don't  want  to  read  bad 
stories?  That's  too  bad.  That's 
what  I  call  the  mentality  of 
blame  the  messenger  for  the 
bad  news.  I  can  tell  you  that  we 
have  the  evidence  about  what 
happens  when  you  don't  release 
information  on  stories  of  great 
social  moment  and  concern.  We 
know  what  happens  in  totali- 
tarian countries  .  .  .  Instead  of 
having  channels  of  communi- 
cation kept  open  by  reasonably 
intelligent  observers  like  the 
press,  you  have  them  darkened 
by  rumor.

MAKIN'  IT  IN 
MASSACHUSETTS 


Will  Massachusetts  reach  zero 
population  growth  in  the  1980's? 

Some  economists  and  social  ob- 
servers in  the  state  think  we  will, 
says  George  S.  Odiorne,  a  professor 
in  the  School  of  Business  Adminis- 
tration of  the  University  of  Massa- 
chusetts in  Amherst. 

"The  shortage  of  energy,  the  de- 
pletion of  resources  and  environ- 
mental presures  all  have  produced 
an  interest  in  how  we  can  prevent 
overpopulation,"  Odiorne  said.  "For 
special  reasons  having  nothing  to  do 
with  fertility  or  birth  rates,  Massa- 
chusetts may  be  approaching  that 
zero  growth  rate." 

Recent  figures  from  the  U.S.  Cen- 
sus Bureau  reveal  that  the  state 
gained  only  223,000  population  in 
the  decade  between  1970  and  1980,  a 
net  gain  of  1.4  percent  for  the  peri- 
od, Odiorne  said.  This  computes  to 
"a  miniscule  percentage  yearly,"  he 
said,  "and  indicates  a  net  outmigra- 
tion  during  the  period." 

If  this  trend  continues,  it  could 
have  important  economic  conse- 
quences tor  the  state.  For  example, 
he  said,  the  drop  in  population  will 
affect  growth  in  purchasing  power, 
available  labor  supply,  and  the  costs 
of  education  and  government. 

Where  do  the  people  go? 

Many  of  them  move  across  lines 
into  Maine  and  New  Hampshire. 
Older  people  on  fixed  incomes  move 
because  taxes  are  lower  and  so  are 
living  costs  in  other  states.  This  can 
mean  that  the  ample  pensions  of 
some  retired  people  may  be  earned 
in  Massachusetts  and  spent  in  an- 
other state. 

For  young  people,  the  local  labor 
market  may  not  offer  much  hope  for 
good  careers.  Many  college  gradu- 
ates move  to  large  southern  cities  of 
California  in  order  to  earn  higher 
wages.  This  turns  out  to  be  a  double 
drain  on  the  Massachusetts  econo- 
my, Odiorne  said,  since  it  costs  tax- 
payers several  hundred  million  dol- 
lars yearly  to  support  state  higher 
education  and  yet  the  skills,  energy 
and  knowledge  of  recent  graduates 
are  applied  to  developing  the  econo- 
mies of  their  new  home  states. 

The  "outmigration"  of  native 
young  people  is  somewhat  offset  by 
people  moving  in  from  other  states. 


Odiorne  said.  The  major  corporate 
headquarters  of  high  technology  bu- 
sinesses such  as  Digital,  Honeywell, 
Polaroid,  Wang,  Data  General, 
Prime  and  similar  firms  attract  peo- 
ple from  outside  the  state.  Also, 
some  large  national  firms  based  in 
Chicago  or  Minneapolis  have  major 
operations  in  the  Boston  area  and 
assign  their  workers  to  Boston  as  a 
step  in  their  career  progress.  Some 
of  these  temporary  Boston  workers 
become  permanent  as  they  fall  in 
love  with  the  beauty  of  Massachu- 
setts and  the  attraction  of  its  cities. 

"One  of  the  economic  challenges 
of  the  1980s  will  be  to  make  Massa- 
chusetts more  attractive  to  young 
people,  especially  Massachusetts 
college  graduates,"  Odiorne  said. 
"This  means  jobs,  but  it  also  means 
opportunities  to  start  new  business 
firms.  It  may  also  call  for  some  res- 
toration of  traditional  Yankee  val- 
ues of  frugality,  discipline  and  hard 
work  in  the  young.  Unfortunately, 
those  are  the  very  qualities  which 
today  tend  to  send  young  people  to 
Houston,  Los  Angeles  and  Phoe- 
nix." 

In  the  20-year  period  between 
1952  and  1972,  Massachusetts  exper- 
ienced a  net  decline  in  the  number 
of  acres  of  land  in  agricultural  use  of 
about  12,000  acres  a  year.  Most  of 
this  land  was  lost  to  urban  use  or 
left  to  revert  to  natural  forest. 

Today,  though,  the  trend  toward  a 
decline  in  the  number  of  acres  used 
for  farming  in  the  state  seems  to 
have  halted,  said  Professor  John 
Foster  of  the  University  of  Massa- 
chusetts/Amherst  Department  of 
Food  and  Resource  Economics.  Ac- 
cording to  a  recent  census,  he  said,  it 
now  appears  that  the  number  of 
acres  of  farmland  in  Massachusetts 
is  modestly  increasing. 

Why  has  the  decline  in  farm  acre- 
age ceased? 

"One  speculation  is  that  the  cen- 
sus is  wrong,"  Foster  said.  "The  oth- 
er is  that  there  is  some  substance  to 
it,  that  the  number  of  acres  in  agri- 
cultural use  is  increasing.  This  may 
be  because  of  the  back-to-the-land 
movement  and  the  use  of  land  for 
small,  part-time  operations." 

Since,  at  present,  Massachusetts 
depends  on  sources  outside  of  the 


state  for  85  per  cent  of  its  food, 
local  farmers  can  compete,  the  ma 
ket  for  local  agriculture  produces  is 
endless,  Foster  said.  But  can  they 
compete  successfully  with  farmers 
in  other  parts  of  the  nation? 

Massachusetts  farmers  will  have 
an  uphill  climb  to  compete  success- 
fully with  farmers  in  California  and 
the  Midwest,  says  Professor  Robert 
Christensen,  also  of  the  department. 
This  is  because  Massachusetts 
farmland  is  very  heavily  taxed  com- 
pared with  farmland  elsewhere 
(Massachusetts  has  the  second  or 
third  highest  tax  rate  per  acre  in  the 
nation),  farms  here  are  small,  and 
farmers  are  also  at  "the  tail-end  of 
the  pipeline  for  fuels,  fertilizers  and 
agricultural  chemicals,  so  all  these 
tend  to  be  more  expensive,"  he  said. 

One  might  think  that  recent  in- 
creases in  fuel  costs  might  make 
transportation  of  food  from  Califor- 
nia and  the  Midwest  so  expensive 
that  local  farmers  couldn't  help  but 
be  more  competitive  in  their  prices. 
This  just  isn't  so,  though,  Christen- 
sen said.  Even  if  gas  costs  rose  by  as 
much  as  $1  a  gallon,  an  average- 
sized  truck  can  carry  enough  pro- 
duce from  other  farm  areas  to  New 
England  and  the  cost  of  its  cargo  of 
lettuce  would  rise  only  about  1.2 
cents  a  pound.  That  may  not  be 
enough  of  a  price  hike  to  make  the 
heavily  taxed  Massachusetts  farmer 
more  competitive  in  the  market- 
place. 

On  the  other  hand,  Foster  said, 
consumers  in  New  England  are  be- 
coming more  supportive  of  locally 
grown  products  and  may  be  willing 
to  pay  more  to  support  local  farm- 
ers. The  Massachusetts  Department 
of  Agriculture  has  adoptecf  the  slo- 
gan "Massachusetts  grown  and 
fresher"  to  help  encourage  this  sup- 
port. Even  a  little  bit  better  market 
for  local  agricultural  products  could 
make  a  significant  difference  to 
farmers. 

"I  see  a  lot  of  potential  for  fresh 
fruit  and  vegetable  production  in 
the  state,  although  there  are  a  lot  of 
risks,"  Christensen  said.  "I  think 
the  fact  that  there  is  more  interest  in 
and  support  for  agriculture  in  the 
state  is  a  very  positive  thing  for  us 
to  see."

1980  was  a  year  of  decision. 

In  1980,  just  like  every  other 
year  since  1789,  the  American 
public  was  asked  to  do  its  civic 
duty  to  excersize  its  "inalien- 
able right"  to  cast  a  ballot  and 
elect  a  president. 

And  in  1980,  like  in  all  those 
other  years,  there  were  plenty 
of  choices  of  who  to  vote  for. 
And  yet,  some  say,  there  were 
no  choices. 

In  the  early  stages  of  the  race, 
everyone  wanted  to  run,  to  win 
their  party's  nomination  and 
make  the  final  stretch  drive  to- 
ward the  White  House.  There 
were  all  the  Republicans,  each 
trying  to  climb  over  the  other  to 
emerge  at  the  top  of  the  heap 
and  to  get  a  crack  at  dethroning 
the  Democratic  incumbent: 
John  Anderson,  George  Bush, 
John  Connally,  Howard  Baker, 
and  Ronald  Reagan  to  name  a 
few.  And  Jimmy  Carter,  who  so 
effectively  wooed  the  nation 
and     defeated     then-President 


168 


Gerald  Ford  in  1976,  was  facing 
a  challenge  from  within  his 
own  party  to  strip  him  of  the 
presidency.  Sen.  Edward  M. 
Kennedy,  the  elite,  proper  Bos- 
tonian,  brother  of  a  former 
president  and  of  an  almost- 
president,  sought  to  overthrow 
the  Carter  regime  and  retire  the 
incumbent  after  four  somewhat 
stormy  years. 

As  to  be  expected,  the  field 
narrowed  as  the  campaign  pro- 
gressed. One  by  one,  the  Re- 
publicans fell  by  the  wayside, 
leaving  Anderson,  Bush  and 
Reagan  as  the  only  real,  serious 
competitors.  As  for  Carter  and 
Kennedy,  who  often  bitterly  as- 
sailed each  other  in  the  Quests 
for  glory,  it  was  the  President 
who  held  on  to  his  power  at  the 
voting  booth. 

And  so  November  ap- 
proached with  the  voter  as  con- 
fused as  ever.  On  one  day,  Rea- 
gan would  have  a  solid  lead  in 
the  Opinion  Polls,  but  he 
would  trail  the  next.  The  public, 
faced  with  a  deteiorating  econo- 
my, the  Iranian  Hostage  situa- 
tion and  the  Soviet  invasion  of 
Afghanistan,  couldn't  decide 
what  to  do,  since  the  candidates 
really  hadn't  told  them  how 
they  felt  about  the  issues. 

By  election  day.  Carter  and 
Reagan  were  nearly  even  in  the 
opinion  polls,  with  Anderson  at 
about  5%.  But,  as  it  had  been 
throughout  the  campaign,  the 
undecided  voters  held  a  sub- 
stantial chunk  in  the  polls  and 
they,  most  analysts  said  would 
determine  the  outcome. 

Even  before  the  polls  closed 
on  the  west  coast,  the  television 
networks  proudly  proclaimed 
that  America  had  spoken  and 
that  Ronald  Wilson  Reagan,  a 
former  actor  and  Governor 
from  California,  would  become 
the  40th  president  of  the  United 


States.  At  the  age  of  69,  Reagan 
is  the  oldest  man  ever  to  as- 
sume the  presidency,  certainly 
quite  an  accomplishment  for  a 
man  who  once  co-starred  with 
"Bonzo"  the  chimp. 

On  the  home  front,  public 
officials  declared  the  end  of  life 
as  we  know  it  with  the  voters 
passage  of  Proposition  2  Vz.  The 
measure  provided  for  drastic 
cuts  in  property  and  excise  tax- 
es at  officials  opposed  to  the 
measure  said,  great  expense  of 
government  service. 

Locally,  Amherst  voters  re- 
turned incumbents  Silvio 
Conte  and  James  Collins  to  the 
House  and  State  Legislature  re- 
spectively. And  Amherst  also 
bucked  the  national  and  state- 
wide trend,  vying  for  Carter 
over  Reagan  and  even  crushing 
Proposition  2  Vz. 

And  so,  as  the  cold  winter 
winds  whipped  through  Wash- 
ington D.C.  on  January  20, 
1981,  Ronald  Reagan  was 
sworn  in  as  president,  George 
Bush  as  Vice-President.

Should  The  U.S.  Give  Aid  To  El  Salvador? 


It  started  last  October  when 
three  American  nuns  were 
killed  in  El  Salvador,  and  has 
been  knawing  away  at  our  con- 
sciences ever  since:  should  we 
leave  El  Salvador  to  its  own- 
problems? 

Here  are  some  of  the  facts: 

-the  U.S.  has  given  El  Salva- 
dor money,  arms,  and  troops 
since  1976. 

-there  are  several  U.S.  com- 
panies in  El  Salvador,  including 


B.F.  Goodrich,  Sears  and  Roe- 
buck, and  Esso. 

-Israel,  Cuba,  Russia,  and 
France  are  also  giving  El  Salva- 
dor aid  in  different  forms. 

-the  government  to  pull  the 
country  together  through  its 
land  reform  policies. 

-the  power  no  longer  rests  on 
fourteen  families. 

-priests,  nuns  and  journalists 
have  been  kidnapped,  raped,  or 
killed  by  terrorists  since  Octo- 


ber.   

-The  Gallup  Poll  reveals  that 
one  out  of  every  ten  people 
wants  us  there;  nine  do  not. 

Without  even  thinking  of  re- 
minders of  Viet  Nam,  escala- 
tions with  Russia,  of  the  deaths 
of  american  citizens  over  a  war 
that's  ended,  these  facts  speak 
for  themselves;  what  do  they 
tell  you? 


A 
GANG? 


Jiang  Qing  Mao,  Wang 
Hongwen,  Zhang  Chunqiao 
and  Yao  Wenyuan  were 
brought  up  on  trial  in  Novem- 
ber of  1980  for  forming  the  per- 
secuting party  and  state  leaders 
in  China  in  an  attempt  to  gain 
power  for  themselves,  accord- 
ing to  TIME  magazine. 

This  controversial  political 
battle  took  place  for  about  three 
weeks,  with  the  entire  world 
constantly  wondering  if  Mao's 
widow  was  really  guilty  of  in- 
structing the  three  persons 
mentioned  above  to  discredit 
their  enemies  in  the  party  who 
stood  in  the  way  of  their  plan  to 
sieze  power.  The  four  apperent- 
ly  arrested  or  executed  some 
534,000  Chinese  on  Chairman 
Mao  in  1971. 


To  the  amazement  of  the  en- 
tire world,  Jiang  Qing  Mao 
took  the  stand  and  acted  as 
though  she'd  never  even  heard 
the  word  China  before,  much 
less  commit  treason  against  the 
country.  The  other  three  accom- 
plices, however  admitted  to  the 
entire  plot  soon  after,  and  the 
four  were  sentenced. 

The  whole  messy  trial  and 
the  expose  of  Mao's  widow  left 
many  American's  asking;  How 
could  four  people  actually  do 
something  like  this  and  get 
away  with  it  for  so  long?  In  this 
case,  four  clearly  was  a  gang,  a 
devastating  group  of  powerful 
people  who  had  the  potential  to 
rip  China  apart.  Thankfully, 
they  failed.

THE 

FINAL 

FRONTIER 

Saturn's  rings  are  the  year's 
best  example  of  an  old  science 
principle:  the  more  you  find  out 
the  less  you  know. 

According  to  Professor  Peter 
Schloerb,  a  planetary  scientist  at 
the  University  of  Massachusett- 
s/ Amherst,:  "Before  Voyager  we 
thought  we  understood  this  ring 
system  very  well,  we  thought 
there  were  perhaps  a  half-dozen 
of  these  flat  rings  and  we  gave 
them  all  names  and  thought  we 
had  a  very  good  idea  of  what 
they  looked  like.  After  Voyager 
we  have  a  better  idea  of  what 
they  look  like  but  perhaps  less  of 
an  understanding  of  how  they 
came  to  be." 

In  other  words,  the  Voyager  im- 
ages answered  some  questions 
but   Voyager    images    answered 


some  questions  but  raised  many 
more,  not  only  about  Saturn  and 
its  rings  but  about  the  planetary 
system.  According  to  Schloerb, 
"We  have  some  ideas  of  why  Sat- 
urn has  rings.  We  think  it  has  a 
lot  to  do  with  the  satellites."  Sat- 
urn has  many  moons,  he  ex- 
plained, and  each  has  an  influ- 
ence on  the  particles  in  the  ring 
system.  "We  think  their  influ- 
ence is  to  confine  the  particles  to 
this  particular  ring  system." 

Beyond  this  kind  of  limited  un- 
derstanding of  the  ring  system, 
it's  pretty  hard  to  say  right  now 
why  the  rings  are  there  and  how 
they  came  to  be,  Schloerb  said. 

But  the  rings  offer  astrono- 
mers a  very  good  model  for  re- 
search on  the  solar  system,  he 
added.  The  rings  are  essentially  a 
body  of  very  small  particles  orbit- 
ing about  a  very  large  body  and 
constantly  running  into  each  oth- 
er. 

A  system  like  this  is  perhaps  a 
very  good  laboratory  on  what  the 
very   early   solar   system   might 


have  been  like,  he  said.  "We 
know  (or  we  think  we  know)  that 
the  planets  formed  out  of  a  great 
gas  cloud  around  the  sun  some 
4.6  billion  years  ago.  During  that 
time  the  first  things  that  were 
made  in  the  solar  nebula  were 
small  objects. 

"And  the  small  objects  would 
run  into  each  other  and  various 
dynamic  phenomena  would 
make  larger  objects.  And  the 
larger  objects  would  run  into 
each  other  and  eventaully  build 
up  something  as  large  as  a  plan- 
et," Schloerb  explained. 

Planetary  scientists  will  get  an- 
other look  at  Saturn  next  year, 
when  Voyager  II  will  rendezvous 
with  Saturn.  Schloerb  predicts 
that  more  new  questions  will  re- 
sult. "The  new  questions  and 
their  answers,  though  they  al- 
ways lead  to  more  new  ques- 
tions, always  increase  our  under- 
standing," he  said. 


SPACE  SHUTTLE  COLUMBIA 


Hopes  for  continued  American 
exploration  of  space  rose  with  as- 
tronauts John  Young  and  Robert 
Crippen  as  space  shuttle  Colum- 
bia lifted  into  Earth  orbit  on  April 
8,  1981. 

"It's  the  second  big  step  into 
space,"  says  QMass  geologist 
Randolph  W.  Bromery  of  the 
shuttle  program.  Bromery,  a  sen- 
ior NASA  advisor,  was  on  hand 
for  the  early  morning  launch 
from  Cape  Canaveral. 

The  shuttle  program  is  a  cru- 
cial step  toward  building  a  space 
observation  platform  —  a  perma- 
nent space  laboratory  —  for  use 
by  industry  and  scientists  alike. 

Following  the  four  flights  to 
test  the  shuttle  vehicle  and  its 
environment  NASA  will  launch  a 
series  of  Spacelab  missions  to  in- 
vestigate a  range  of  subjects 
from  the  feasibility  of  gathering 
solar  energy  in  space  to  determin- 
ing the  role  of  gravity  in  plant 
growth. 

Two  other  GMass/ Amherst 
professors  also  watched  Colum- 
bia's progress  closely.  Astrono- 


mer Paul  Goldsmith  and  electri- 
cal engineer  K.  Sigfrid  Yngvesson 
developed  one  of  40  detailed  Spa- 
celab experiment  proposals. 
Their  project,  along  with  all  but 
three  others,  is  on  the  shelf  right 
now,  ready  to  be  built  if  NASA 
gives  the  word. 

The  ClMass  project  is  a  milli- 
meter-wave radio  telescope.  It 
would  look  at  astronomical  ob- 
jects in  the  radio  frequency  por- 
tion of  the  electromagnetic  spec- 
trum rather  than  the  visible  light 
portion  that  conventional,  optical 
telescopes  see.  A  state-of-the-art 
instrument,  it  is  based  on  exper- 
tise developed  in  building  the 
Five  College  Radio  Astronomy 
Observatory  located  at  the  Quab- 
bin  Reservoir. 

The  experiment  OMass  re- 
searchers would  like  to  perform 
is  dubbed  the  SINTOX  Project, 
short  for  Spacelab  Interstellar 
Oxygen  Project.  It  would  detect 
and  study  for  the  first  time  oxy- 
gen molecules  in  the  gaseous 
clouds  between  stars.  Such  ob- 
servation   is    impossible    from 


Earth  because  radiation  froni  <.nf. 
atmospheric  oxygen  blocks  the 
faint  radio  signals  from  many 
light  years  out  into  the  Milky 
Way. 

That  information  would  tell  sci- 
entists a  great  deal  about  how 
stars  are  born  and  how  they  die 
—  the  seemingly  endless  recy- 
cling of  stellar  matter.  It  also 
might  give  some  clues  to  the  ori- 
gins of  life  and  our  prospects  of 
having  distant  neighbors  else- 
where in  the  galaxy. 

Bromery  emphasizes  the  dual 
role  of  the  shuttle  missions.  "One 
is  the  new  discoveries  we  can 
make  in  space,"  he  said,  "satisfy- 
ing man's  quest  for  knowledge. 
But  the  major  thing  the  shuttlle 
will  do  is  ensure  that  a  larger  por- 
tion of  what  we  do  out  there  will 
be  beneficial  for  mankind." 

Ultimately,  the  shuttle  is  sup- 
posed to  make  space  accessible 
to  all  as  shuttle  flights  settle 
down  to  the  NASA/s  equivalent 
of  boring  milk  runs.

SOME  WOULD  CALL 
IT  DISASTROUS 


Mt.  St.  Helens  —  Fire  —  Proposition  2^2 


It  makes  some  people  shud- 
der to  think  about  it,  while  oth- 
ers cari't  wait  for  the  next  erup- 
tion so  that  they  can  sell  more 
ash.  It's  the  ominous  Mt.  St, 
Helens  that  I  am  referring  to, 
the  massive  mountain  of  mol- 
ton  rock  and  ash  that  has  be- 
come one  of  the  largest  tourist 
attractions  in  the  west,  as  well 
as  one  of  the  biggest  threats  to 
farming,  industry  and  life  itself 
in  the  state  of  Washington. 

The  volcano  which  had  been 
silent  for  over  60  years  erupted 
on  May  18th,  1981,  and  has  had 
four  major  eruptions  and  sever- 
al minor  eruptions  since.  It  has 
destroyed  miles  of  land,  and 
has  taken  the  lives  of  over  31 
people,  and  yet,  people  still 
flock  to  Washington  to  "get  a 
closer  look". 

Massachusetts  voters  fol- 
lowed the  national  trend  of  tax 
reforms  and  overwhelmingly 
approved  the  controversial  Pro- 
position ZVa  in  November  of 
this  year. 

The  tax  reform  is  called  Pro- 
position lyh  because  it  will  lim- 
it property  taxes  in  the  state  to 
iyi%  of  the  market  value. 
Though  this  seems  undeniably 
beneficial,  the  controversy  lies 
in  the  fact  that  local  revenues 
will  be  lessened  by  $1.3  billion. 

The  passing  of  Proposition 
V-h  comes  two  years  after  the 
passing  of  Proposition  13  in 
California.  It  is  obvious  that 
Massachusetts  need  a  form  of 
tax  reform.  Masachusetts'  prop- 
erty tax  runs  70%  over  the  na- 
tional average  and  the  state  leg- 
islature has  considered  130  re- 
form bills  since  1935.  The  ma- 


jor difference  between  Califor- 
nia and  Massachusetts  is  the 
fact  that  Massachusetts  has  no 
surplus  to  soften  the  blow. 

The  true  effects  of  Proposi- 
tion iVz  will  not  be  known  for 
years  to  come.  The  basic  con- 
troversy of  tax  reform  lies  in 
whether  spending  power  be- 
longs in  the  hands  of  the  gov- 
ernment or  of  the  citizens.  In 
the  short  run  it  is  indesputable 
that  government  services  and 
jobs  will  be  cut  in  order  to  give 
more  buying  power  to  the  tax- 
payer. Only  time  will  tell  if  this 
trade  will  spur  the  economy 
enough  to  justify  the  immea- 
surable cuts  in  government  ser- 
vices. 

Experts  have  stated  that  Pro- 
position 2V2  is  a  basically  sound 
proposal.  Though  it  is  a  well- 
intentioned  bill,  many  experts 
warn  that  it  is  seriousely  flawed 
and  that  it  was  passed  without 
enough  understanding  on  the 
voters  part.  It  is  however,  un- 
likely that  it  will  be  amended  or 
changed  because  of  its  large 
passing  margin. 

The  passing  of  Proposition 
ZVa  brought  various  but  far- 
reaching  reactions.  Proponents 
of  the  bill  were  at  first  elated  at 
receiving  relief  from  their  bur- 
densome tax  load.  Later,  many 
proponents  began  to  worry  that 
the  "scare  stories"  they'd  been 
hearing  might  indeed  come 
true.  Opponents'  reactions  bor- 
dered on  chaotic.  Government 
employees  began  to  fear  for 
their  jobs.  Government  depart- 
ments looked  to  justify  their  ex- 
istance  and  looked  for  ways  to 
cut  their  budgets.  Citizens 
across  the  state  began  to  con- 


sider  the   end   of   governmi 
services  and  the  effects  on  the 
public  school  system.  flj 

The  hardest  hit  areas  of  state 
will  be  the  older  and  the  poorer 
cities  and  towns.  Ai 

These  commuities  tend  to  be 
the  ones  with  the  highest  prop- 
erty taxes  and  the  greatest  need 
for  public  services. 

The  hardest  hit  department 
will  be  the  newest  ones  and  the 
ones  that  take  a  large  slice  of 
the  budget.  Among  these  are 
the  police,  public  works,  and 
school  departments. 

Many  experts  agree  that  the 
first  place  to  make  fiscal  im- 
provements is  the  Massachu- 
setts Bay  Transit  Authority. 
This  years  MBTA  budget  ran 
out  long  before  the  end  of  the 
fiscal  year.  The  legislature  re- 
fused additional  funds  until 
management  was  reformed. 
When  Governor  King  autho- 
rized emergency  funds  without 
management  reform,  he  was 
criticized  as  overstepping  his 
authority. 

The  pros  and  cons  of  Propo- 
sition IVt.  can  best  be  under- 
stood through  examination  of 
an  example.  Proposition  2}h 
would  cut  automobile  excise  tax 
from  6.6%  to  2.5%.  It  can  be  ar- 
gued that  this  will  mean  a  sav- 
ings of  $126  million  to  state 
motorists  and  will  spur  in- 
creased car  sales  and  therfore 
new  jobs  and  tax  revenue.  Yet  it 
can  also  be  argued  that  it  will 
mean  a  revenue  loss  of  $162 
million  to  towns  and  cities  and 
therefore  a  major  loss  of 


vices.

HOMECOMING  FOR 
OUR  HOSTAGES 


In  late  January,  1981,  as  most 
UMass  students  were  enjoying 
the  final  weeks  of  intersession, 
the  majority  of  United  States 
citizens  breathed  a  collective 
sigh  of  releif  as  52  Americans, 
who  had  been  held  hostage  in 
Iran  for  444  days,  were  finally 
released  from  captivity. 

As  the  nation  watched,  a  dou- 
ble drama  unfolded  on  the  tele- 
vision screens.  As  Ronald  Rea- 
gan prepared  to  take  the  oath  of 
office  of  the  presidency,  the 
world  waited  for  word  from 
Iran,  where  the  hostages  were 
supposedly  being  readied  for 
release.  In  the  days  earlier,  ru- 
mors of  their  impending  release 
spread  across  the  globe,  but  one 
snag  after  another  delayed  their 
freedom. 

Finally,  at  12:33  p.m.  January 
20,  just  moments  after  Ronald 
Reagan  became  the  41st  presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  the 
plane  carrying  the  hostages  left 
the  runway  in  Terhan,  Iran, 
carrying  the  52  to  freedom.  As 
the  word  went  out,  millions  of 
yellow  ribbons  were  readied, 
the  symbol  adopted  to  welcome 
the  hostages'  return. 

That  day  in  history  marked 
the  end  of  a  444  day  struggle, 
begun  on  November  4,  1979, 
when  the  U.S.  embassy  in  the 
middle  east  country  was  over- 
run by  militant  students,  angry 
at  the  U.S.  for  allowing  the  ail- 
ing Shah  Reza  Pahlevi  into  the 
country  for  medical  treatment. 
The  militants  seized  the  embas- 
sy and  threatened  not  to  free 
the  captives  until  the  U.S.  re- 
turned the  Shah  to  face  trial  in 
[ran. 

Efforts  to  free  the  hostages 
by  diplomatic  means  failed  and 
the  U.S.  was  forced  to  wait  until 
Iran  settled  its  internal  strife 
before  the  country  could  decide 
how  to  handle  the  situation.  On 
November  20,  1979,  16  days 
after  the  embassy  was  seized, 
eight  blacks  and  five  women 
were  released  by  the  Iranians  in 
a  deal  negotiated  with  the  aid  of 
the  Palestinian  Liberation  Or- 


ganization. One  black  and  two 
women  were  not  released  and 
remained  in  Iran  until  the  end 
of  the  crisis. 

As  the  months  dragged  on, 
little  progress  was  accom- 
plished and  the  hostages'  fam- 
ilies as  well  as  much  of  the 
country,  agonized  over  their 
fate.  Glimpes  of  the  hostages 
were  occasionally  seen,  but 
these  films  provided  little  in- 
formation of  their  condition. 
Several  missions  to  Iran  by 
members  of  the  clergy  and  in- 
ternational diplomats  were  well 
and  receiving  fair  treatment. 
Much  of  the  country  still  had 
doubts,  however. 

In  late  April,  1980,  the  world 
was  shocked  when  eight  U.S. 
marines  were  killed  when  an  ef- 
fort to  rescue  the  hostages 
failed.  In  the  flaming  wreck  of 
two  helicopters  in  the  Iranian 
desert,  the  mission  failed  and 
served  as  a  major  embarrass- 
ment to  the  United  States.  The 
pain  of  the  incident  was  felt  the 
following  day,  when  the  Iran- 
ians released  photographs  of 
the  charred  bodies  of  the  ser- 
vicemen in  the  desert  sand. 
Needless  to  say,  the  failed  at- 
tempt also  hampered  diplomat- 
ic efforts  to  gain  the  release  of 
the  hostages. 

The  following  July,  another 
milestone  was  reached  when 
Richard  Queen,  one  of  the  cap- 
tives held  at  the  embassy,  was 
released  by  the  Iranians  be- 
cause he  was  suffering  from  an 
illness,  later  discovered  to  be 
multiple  sclerosis.  Queen  re- 
turned home  for  treatment  of 
the  disease  and  went  into  seclu- 
sion at  his  parents'  home  in 
Maine,  offering  little  insight 
into  what  was  actually  happen- 
ing in  Iran. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  year, 
after  Reagan  defeated  President 
Jimmy  Carter,  negotiations  be- 
gan to  move  forward.  Ir-an  stat- 
ed its  demands  —  the  release  of 
its  assets  frozen  by  Carter  when 
the  embassy  was  seized  —  and 
the  U.S.,  through  Algerian  di- 


plomats, negotiated  the  terms. 
Finally,  it  seemed  that  Iranians, 
along  with  the  Algerian  inter- 
mediaries and  U.S.  Deputy  Sec- 
retary of  State  Warren  Christo- 
pher, had  reached  a  basic  agree- 
ment. About  $12  billion  in  fro- 
zen Iranian  assets  would  be  re- J I 
leased  and  deposited  in  Europe- 
an banks  as  the  hostages  were 
released  from  Iran. 

As  the  U.S.  prepared  to  inau- 
gurate a  new  president,  the  de- 
tails of  the  plan  were  being 
worked  out.  And,  finally,  as  the 
inauguration  drew  closer,  the 
pact  seemed  ready  to  be  signed. 
Last  minute  kinks  held  up  the 
process  until  the  inauguration 
was  nearly  over. 

At  1:50  p.m.,  the  word  finally 
came  that  the  plane  carrying 
the  hostages  had  cleared  Iran- 
ian airspace  and  the  entire  na- 
tion breathed  a  collective  sigh 
of  relief.  Across  the  country, 
people  watched  as  the  hostages 
landed  in  Algeria,  transferred 
to  American  jets,  and  were 
flown  to  West  Germany  where 
they  were  moved  to  a  U.S.  hos- 
pital and  were  greeted  by  then 
former  President  Carter. 

In  the  following  days,  the 
American  public,  through  the 
eyes  of  television  cameras, 
watched  the  liberated  hostages 
return  to  the  U.S.  and  become 
instant  heroes.  First  at  West 
Point  in  New  York,  where  they 
were  reunited  with  their  fam- 
ilies, and  then  later  at  a  White 
House  ceremony  and  subse- 
quent ceremonies  at  home 
towns  across  the  country,  the 
former  hostages  became  celeb- 
rities and  heroes. 

And  we  still  haven't  heard 
the  end  of  it  all.  Major  books 
and  movies  about  the  crisis  are 
almost  certain  to  appear.  And 
history  books  for  generations 
will  retell  the  story  again  and 
again.  For  most  people,  howev- 
er, the  ordeal  is  one  they  would 
probably  rather  forget.

An  earthquake  struck  Italy 
on  November  23rd  of  this  year 
leaving  thousands  dead  and 
hundreds  of  thousands  home- 
less in  what  could  prove  to  be 
the  worst  natural  disaster  of  the 
decade.  The  initial  quake 
ranged  from  6.5  to  6.8  on  the 
Richter  Scale  and  was  followed 
by  numerous  tremors.  The 
earthquake  was  the  strongest  in 
70  years  and  shook  an  area 
from  Sicily  to  Venice. 

Though  dense  fog  hindered 
early  rescue  attempts,  officials 
set  a  death  toll  at  over  200.  As 
tremors  continued  to  rock  Italy 
and  further  the  devastation,  the 
official  toll  rose  to  2915  uniden- 
tified dead,  another  1574  miss- 
ing, and  7304  injured. 

Officials  stated  that  some 
265,000  people  were  now  home- 
less. Initially  residents  escaped 
into  the  streets  to  avoid  the  fall- 
ing debris.  In  the  larger  cities. 


emergency  camps  were  set  up 
in  open  fields.  In  the  smaller 
towns,  where  help  was  slower 
to  arrive,  families  moved  into 
abandoned  buildings,  schools, 
private  apartment  buildings 
and  cargo  drums.  This  despar- 
ate  squatting  brought  comflict 
between  officials  and  citizens. 
An  attempt  to  move  the  hardest 
hit  towns  to  seaside  resorts  and 
house  them  in  requisitioned  ho- 
tels was  termed  a  failure  be- 
cause few  of  the  homeless 
would  move  from  their  home- 
towns. 

Hospitals,  already  crowded 
and  hectic  in  an  attempt  to  deal 
with  their  own  damages,  were 
innundated  with  multitudes  of 
injured.  Physicians  cancelled  a 
planned  strike  and  were  ur- 
gently called  on  duty.  Supplies 
were  slow  to  move  through  the 
devastated  area  and  another  ur- 
gent call  went  out  for  help  in 


that  area.  Though  clinics  had 
been  set  up  following  the  initial 
quake,  the  ensuing  tremors 
caused  the  evacuation  of  many. 
A  glimpse  of  hope  was  given 
to  Italy  by  the  various  forms  of 
aid  that  rolled  in  following  the 
earthquake.  From  within  Italy, 
Red  Cross,  military  and  public 
forces  all  attempted  to  help  in 
any  way  possible.  Pope  John 
Paul  II  toured  and  spoke  in  an 
effort  to  comfort  the  grief- 
stricken  survivors.  Monetary 
relief  poured  in  from  foreign 
countries.  The  League  of  Red 
Cross  Socieites  in  Genva  asked 
for  cash  and  goods  in  an  effort 
to  help.  The  European  Com- 
mon N4arket  granted  emergen- 
cy aid  of  $2  million.  The  U.S. 
Senate  Foreign  Relations  Com- 
mittee approved  $50  million  in 
aid.

IRAN  vs.  IRAQ 


What  started  in  September  as 
mere  squirmishes  along  the 
Iran-Iraqi  border  developed 
into  a  major  war  which  contin- 
ues to  threaten  the  West's  oil 
supply  and  world  peace. 

The  initial  conflicts  arose 
early  in  September  and  were 
confined  to  small  battles  along 
the  700  mile  Iran-Iraqi  border 
and  to  a  propaganda  battle.  The 
United  States  found  itself  oddly 
attacked  by  both  countries  in 
this  war  of  propaganda.  Iran 
tied  the  US  to  Iraqi's  aggression 
in  an  effort  to  spread  the  Iran- 
ian hatred  for  America  to  Iraq. 
Iraq  blamed  Iran's  actions  on 
the  "US,  international  Zionism, 
the  Sadat  regime  and  all  signa- 
taries  of  the  Camp  David  ac- 
cords." 

Later  in  September  the  con- 
flict moved  beyond  the  propa- 
ganda stage  and  was  recognized 
as  a  full  scale  war.  Initial  battles 
involved  gunboats,  rockets  and 


artillaery  along  a  waterway  at 
the  tip  of  the  Persian  Gulf.  Both 
sides  claimed  heavy  damages 
against  the  other.  Iraq  took  an 
aggressive  role  and  attacked  6 
Iranian  air  installations  and 
followed  with  a  strike  on  Iran's 
oil  centers. 

Iraq  continually  played  the 
aggressive  role  and  struck 
against  Iranian  oil  field.  Iran's 
tough  ground  forces  brought 
many  stalemates  at  different 
times.  Iran  occaisionally  took 
the  aggresive  role  and  attacked 
a  Nuclear  Reactor  in  Iraq.  The 
massive  propaganda  efforts  of 
both  sides  continued  and  con- 
fused actual  details  of  damages 
and  fatalities. 

Militarily,  Iraq  is  far  superior 
to  Iran  though  its  population  is 
only  one-third  that  of  Iran. 
Iraqi  forces  are  recognized  as 
being  the  second  strongest  in 
the  area.  On  the  other  hand, 
Iranian  forces  are  known  to  be 


physically  worn  down  and  low 
in  morale. 

As  of  this  writing,  the  situa- 
tion is  still  highly  unpredict- 
able. Numerous  ceasefires  and 
truces  have  been  offered  and 
then  broken.  Strong  Iraqi 
movements  into  Iran  have  been 
successfully  defended  against. 
The  momentum  has  swung 
from  one  side  to  the  other  many 
times  and  often  appears  to  be  at 
a  stalemate. 

The  propaganda  battle  con- 
tinues and  both  countries  have 
stated  that  they  are  prepared  for 
a  long  conflict.  Iraq  plans  to 
fight  until  their  demands  are 
accepted  and  Iran  will  fight  un- 
til its  border  is  restored  and 
Iraq  ceases  to  be  aggressive.  In 
short,  the  war  looks  to  rage  on 
indefinitely  and  continue  to 
threaten  oil  supplies  and  world 


peace.

PRESIDENT  REAGAN 
SURVIVES  SHOOTING 


President  Reagan  was 
wounded  in  the  chest  on  March

THE  PRESIDENT 


DAVID  C.  KNAPP 


178 


TO  THE  CLASS  OF  1981: 


The  completion  of  your  course  of  studies  at  the 
University  of  Massachusetts  at  Amherst  is  an 
event  of  great  importance  to  you,  your  families, 
and  your  teachers.  You  have  worked  hard  for  this 
achievement  and  the  University  is  proud  of  you. 

You  have  taken  advantage  of  a  school  which,  in 
the  past  twenty  years,  has  grown  into  one  of  the 
finest  state  universities  in  the  nation.  For  many, 
this  opportunity  to  receive  a  quality  higher  educa- 
tion may  not  have  been  otherwise  available  to  you 
in  a  period  of  ever  rising  tuition  rates. 

You  have  obtained  an  education  which  com- 
bines the  offering  of  liberal  studies  with  the  oppor- 
tunity for  professional  training,  and,  1  would  like  to 
assure  you,  liberal  and  professional  education  are 
not  antithetical. 

In  our  highly  technological  and  organizational 
society,  they  should  be  complementary,  with 
each  informing  the  other.  The  student  in  the  basic 
disciplines  is  not  liberally  educated  for  the  world 
of  today  unless  he  or  she  possesses  an  under- 
standing of  the  role  of  technology,  its  benefits,  its 
costs,  and  the  mode  of  thought  of  those  who 
employ  it.  Conversely,  students  in  professional 
fields  can  hardly  function  well  if  they  do  not  have 
an  understanding  of  the  human  and  cultural  mi- 
lieu in  which  they  will  practice,  be  they  engineers, 
physicians,  or  accountants. 

Your  education  here  at  the  Amherst  campus 
has  provided  you  with  an  experience  which  will 
have  value  now  and  in  the  future.  Regardless  of 
your  major  interest,  your  trained  intelligence  now 
gives  you  the  opportunity  to  provide  leadership

The  mission  of  the  Amherst  campus  has  been, 
and  remains,  to  provide  a  quality,  university-level 
education  on  a  residential  campus.  The  University

sonable price,  a  price  which  provides  all  citizens 
of  the  Commonwealth  the  opportunity  to  obtain 
the  training  they  will  need  to  succeed  in  a  com- 
plex society.  In  the  future,  this  dual  mission  of 
high-quality  education  and  low  cost  will  be  more 
important  than  ever,  and  1  ask  you  to  support  the 
University  in  the  future  as  it  attempts  to  carry  out 
that  mission. 

You  have  worked  hard,  and  you  will  continue  to 
face  difficult  situations  as  you  continue  your  edu- 
cation or  start  your  career.  1  congratulate  you  on 
your  achievements  and  wish  you  well  in  your 
future  activities. 


Sincerely,

THE  CHANCELLOR 


HENRY  KOFFLER 


180 


Born  in  Vienna,  Austria,  Chancellor  Henry 
Koffler  has  led  a  distinguished  academic  career. 
He  orginally  received  his  B.S.  in  Agricultural 
Chemistry  from  the  University  of  Arizona  in  1943. 
From  there,  he  went  on  to  obtain  his  M.S.  in 
Bacteriology  and  his  Ph.D.  in  Microbiology  and 
Biochemistry  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin. 
After  spending  some  time  at  the  Oak  Ridge  Insti- 
tute for  Nuclear  Studies,  the  Chancellor  did  post- 
doctoral work  in  Molecular  Biology  at  the  Western 
Reserve  School  of  Medicine.  He  finally  received 
his  D.Sc.h.c.  from  Purdue  University  in  1977.  Doc- 
tor Koffler  has  held  the  position  of  Chancellor  of 
the  Amherst  campus  since  1979. 

As  chief  executive  officer  of  the  campus,  Chan- 
cellor Koffler  has  ultimate  responsibility  for  all 
aspects  of  the  Amherst  campus.  He  is  responsible 
for  carrying  out  all  policies  and  procedures  estab- 
lished by  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  President 
Knapp.  He  is  also  entrusted  with  carrying  out  long 
range  academic  and  fiscal  plans  and  personnel 
policies;  coordinating  campus  operations  and  poli- 
cies, including  budget  development  and  alloca- 
tion; reviewing  academic  and  fiscal  programs;  and 
acting  as  liason  with  campus  governing  units,  the 
President's  office  and  other  external  agencies.  His 
responsibility  is  to  ensure  that  the  University  func- 
tions as  a  complete  academic  enterprise. 

As  Chancellor,  Doctor  Koffler  faces  many  diffi- 
cult situations.  One  of  the  most  upsetting  prob- 
lems on  campus,  according  to  Koffler,  is  the  lack 
of  civility  on  the  campus.  "Students  often  confuse 
license  with  freedom,  resulting  in  an  indiscrimi- 
nate lack  of  concern  for  the  feelings  of  other  stu- 
dents." 

The  Chancellor  does  not  feel  that  the  University 
suffers  from  an  in-state  identity  crisis.  He  believes 
that  there  exists  a  large  amount  of  support  for  the 
University  from  residents  of  the  state.  Yet  Koffler 
readily  admits  that  UMass  has  been  the  victim  of 
adverse  media  representation  which  he  terms 
"out  of  context  representation  of  the  University". 

Koffler  feels  that  the  national  climate  at  present 
is  one  toward  great  conservatism.  Although  un- 
derstandably unhappy  about  the  financial  aid  cut- 
backs, he  believes  that  because  the  nation  had. 
been  living  beyond  its  means  for  so  long,  the 
current  administration's  hardline  stance  on  spend- 
ing was  inevitable. 

Last  May,  Koffler  assumed  a  leading  role  in 
University  planning  by  distributing,  "Planning  for 
the  1980's",  a  document  guiding  the  faculty,  staff 
and  administration  through  a  round  of  structured 
discussions  about  the  future.  The  terms  of  the 
dialogue  were  clear  and  compelling:  given  alterna- 
tive future  levels  of  spending,  each  unit  had  to  put 


forward  alternative  plans  to  adjust  to  the  levels 
while  maintaining  the  unit's  firm  purposes.  This 
discourse  has  commenced  in  the  departments;  its 
products  will  be  refined  at  the  colleges  and 
schools,  and  be  consolidated  at  the  campus  level. 
At  a  later  date  the  campus  plan  will  be  integrated 
into  the  University-wide  plan  and  ultimately  is 
expected  to  contribute  to  the  state-wide  master 
plan  to  be  developed  by  the  Board  of  Regents. 

Koffler  wants  to  make  the  Amherst  campus 
foremost  in  research  and  education.  To  do  this 
will  require  concentration  on  more  refined  goals  in 
target  areas.  Doctor  Koffler's  long  range  plan  for 
the  University  includes  increasing  non-state  and 
private  and  scholarship  funding,  building  deeper 
friendships  with  alumni  and  industry,  and  devel- 
oping a  sophisticated  system  of  community  input 
into  the  University's  decision  making  prosess.

:  VICE-CHANCELLOR: 


George  Beatty,  Jr. 


George  Beatty,  Vice  Chancellor  for  Administra- 
tion and  Finance,  is  responsible  for  the  manage- 
ment of  the  following  divisions:  Administrative 
Services,  Auxiliary  Services,  Facilities  Planning, 
Financial  Affairs,  Grants  and  Contracts,  Human 
Resources,  and  Physical  Plant.  In  addition,  the 
Vice  Chancellor  is  responsible  for  developing  and 
implementing  policies,  planning  efficient  use  of 
resources,  and  assuring  compliance  with  applica- 
ble regulations,  in  May  of  1981,  Beatty  resigned 
from  his  post  in  order  to  pursue  and  outside  busi- 
ness venture.  Beatty  leaves  the  University  with 
fond  memories.  "I  will  especially  remember  the 
large  number  of  conscientious,  dedicated  students 
who  gained  much  from  the  Gniversity.  Also,  1  will 
never  forget  my  fond  personal  associations  with 
both  the  Chancellors." 

When  asked  which  aspects  of  his  job  he  has 
most  enjoyed,  Beatty  thoughtfully  answered,  "1 
enjoyed  working  and  interacting  with  the  various 
student  groups,  creating  a  cohesive  organizational 
structure  for  administration  and  finance,  and  in- 


corporating a  high  level  of  professionalism  into 
the  administrative  services."  Beatty  has  also  en- 
joyed taking  part  in  the  landscaping  of  the  area  for 
the  pleasure  of  the  students  and  employees  as 
well  as  the  improvement  of  the  GMass  transit 
system. 

Beatty  is  concerned  over  the  financial  situation 
facing  the  Gniversity.  "We  are  facing  a  difficult 
period  financially  with  the  national  trend  being 
one  toward  greater  conservatism.  More  people 
will  now  be  questioning  the  value  of  higher  edu- 
caction,  especially  the  lower  income  students  who 
face  the  most  severe  financial  aid  cutbacks." 

Vice  Chancellor  Beatty  gives  the  following  ad- 
vice to  1981  graduates:  "As  you  are  graduating, 
write  down  your  goals,  then  formulate  a  plan  to 
help  you  achieve  them.  Keep  your  attention  fixed 
on  the  goals  themselves,  not  on  the  effort  needed 
to  attain  them.  With  this  formula  I  feel  that  every- 
one can  be  a  success."  Added  Beatty,  "1  wish  you 
success  in  all  your  future  endeavors."

vice-chancellor: 


Dennis  L.  Madson 


Dennis  Madson  arrived  at  GMass  in  August  of 
1978  to  become  the  Vice  Chancellor  for  Student 
Affairs.  Madson  had  previously  spent  17  years  in 
public  higher  education,  1 1  of  which  were  spent  in 
the  Student  Affairs  Department  at  Colorado  State 
University  followed  by  6  years  in  the  Student  Af- 
fairs Department  at  Ohio  State  University.  As  the 
chief  student  affairs  officer  for  the  campus,  the 
Vice  Chancellor  for  Student  Affairs  is  responsible 
for  the  overall  supervision  of  departments  provid- 
ing support  services  for  students. 

An  average  day  for  the  Vice  Chancellor  would 
involve  "a  tremendous  number  of  meetings,  four 
or  five  a  day",  according  to  Madson.  He  also  takes 
time  out  of  his  hectic  schedule  to  visit  privately 
with  both  students  and  staff  to  discuss  any  num- 
ber of  concerns.  "There  is  an  incredible  variety  of 
issues  involved  in  this  job",  says  Madson,  "1  deal 
with  issues  such  as  hazardous  waste,  peer  coun- 
seling, residence  hall  problems,  and  police  mat- 
ters. 1  work  with  people  ranging  from  custodians 
to  staff  psychiatrists." 


Turning  Spring  Concert  into  a  successful  event 
has  given  Madson  the  most  satisfaction  this  year. 
What  made  this  event  "successful"?  "Basically, 
the  fact  that  there  were  far  less  behavioral  prob- 
lems this  year  as  compared  to  last,"  cites  Madson. 
Another  accomplishment  was  a  reorganization  of 
the  entire  student  affairs  system  into  a  far  more 
efficient  one. 

Because  of  a  limited  budget,  Madson  has  had  to 
set  certain  priorities  for  student  affairs  at  the  Uni- 
versity. He  believes  that  the  Student  Affairs  office 
must  limit  some  programs  in  an  effort  to  maintain 
the  quality  of  existing  programs.  Articulating  the 
needs  of  students  effectively  is  also  a  major  goal 
of  the  office. 

Because  of  the  tight  job  market,  Madson  ad- 
vises graduates  to  "keep  your  options  open.  De- 
velop transferable  human  relations  skills.  They 
can  be  just  as  important  as  technical  skills.  Don't 
let  too  many  opportunities  pass  by  without  giving 
some  a  chance."

PROVOST 


LOREN  BARITZ 

Dr.  Loren  Baritz,  former  Director  of  the  New 
York  Institute  for  tine  Humanities,  arrived  at  the 
University  of  Massachusetts  during  the  summer 
of  1980.  He  replaces  Jeremiah  Allen,  now  Dean  of 
the  School  of  Fine  Arts  and  Humanities,  as  chief 
academic  officer  of  the  campus;  responsible  for 
the  entire  range  of  campus  academic  programs. 
Specifically,  his  duties  include:  general  academic 
development  of  the  Amherst  campus  and  stan- 
dards of  excellence  in  instructional  and  scholarly 
programs;  implementation  of  presidential  and 
Trustee  policies  on  academic  matters;  review  and 
evaluation  of  college,  school  and  departmental 
academic  plans  and  budgets,  appointments,  pro- 
motions, and  tenure  recommendations;  proposals 
for  new  academic  programs;  and  suggestions  and 
plans  to  increase  the  usefulness  of  the  University 
in  outreach  activites  and  innovative  service  pro- 
grams. 

In  his  role  as  Provost,  Baritz  plans  to  upgrade 
various  academic  programs  which  he  feels  need 
improvement.  In  this  way,  the  University  will  be 
able  to  continue  providing  the  high  level  of  quality 
education  students  expect. 

Baritz  sees  the  University  as  an  institution  pro- 
viding for  the  needs  of  both  faculty  and  students. 
He  feels  that  the  cause  of  low  morale  on  campus 
is  due  to  a  simple  lack  of  information.  "If  people 


were  better  informed  of  the  accomplishments  of 
the  University,  said  Baritz,  "they  would  realize  the 
high  level  of  quality  education  that  the  University 
provides."  Baritz  suggests  the  publication  of  a 
newsletter  stressing  both  faculty  and  student  ac- 
complishments. "Press  should  not  simply  be  limit- 
ed to  the  proposed  newsletter,  either,"  stated  Bar- 
itz. "Closer  ties  with  the  Collegian  and  other  area 
magazines  and  newspapers  are  essential." 

According  to  Provost  Baritz,  the  cost  of  rising 
tuition  will  have  the  greatest  impact  on  students 
entering  the  University  this  Fall.  "The  class  of 
1980  was  the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  Universi- 
ty, evidence  that  the  financial  pinch  had  not  quite 
hit  home  yet.  Due  to  this  year's  severe  cutbacks 
on  financial  aid  and  other  forms  of  financial  assis- 
tance, the  1981  freshmen  class  will  definitely  be 
the  most  effected  to  date." 

Even  with  the  University  tangled  in  its  financial 
woes,  Baritz  remains  confident  that  it  will  pull 
through  the  handle  this  financial  crisis  in  the  best 
way  it  can.

DEAN  OF  STUDENTS 


Have  a  problem?  Don't  know  who  to  turn  to? 
Your  best  bet  would  be  the  Dean  of  Students 
Office.  There  you'll  find  professional  staff  mem- 
bers who  are  on  hand  to  provide  assistance  and 
counseling  for  a  variety  of  Gniversity-related  or 
personal  problems.  Dean  William  Field,  the  Uni- 
versity's first  and  only  Dean  of  Students,  says  that 
his  office  is  designed  to  be  one  of  the  most  easily 
accessible  offices  in  Whitmore.  Located  atop  the 
ramp  leading  into  Whitmore,  the  office  has  a  con- 
stant flow  of  students  armed  with  questions  rang- 
ing from  "How  do  I  go  about  withdrawing  from  the 
Gniversity?"  to  "Where  can  1  cash  my  check?" 
This  constant  student  contact  is  what  Dean  Field 
enjoys  most  about  his  job. 

"There  is  not  such  thing  as  a  'typical  day'  in  his 
office,"  laughs  Dean  Field,  "Each  day  depends  on 
the  students  who  walk  in  here.  We  do  try  to  antici- 
pate student  problems  and  then  meet  them  head 
on."  One  example  of  the  office  anticipating  prob- 
lems has  been  the  setting  up  of  the  Information 
Date  Bank  (IDB)  and  the  Taped  Information  Phone 
Service  (TIPS),  "The  idea  actually  came  from  a 
student  working  in  the  office.  He  complained  that 
he  always  seemed  to  be  answering  the  same  ques- 
tions over  and  over  again.  We  took  it  from  there 
and  now  students  have  answers  just  a  phone  call 
away!" 

Dean  Field  has  seen  the  University  grow  from  a 
small  agricultural  college  in  1951  into  a  sprawling 
Gniversity.  He  has  thoroughly  enjoyed  seeing  stu- 
dents go  through  the  Gniversity  and  move  on  into 
sometimes  distinguished  careers.  Being  part  of  a 
relatively  small  administrative  team  which  has 
helped  the  Gniversity  expand  into  a  cultural  cen- 
ter for  Western  Massachusetts  is  a  source  of  per- 
sonal accomplishments  for  him. 

"Certain  inevitable  changes  are  now  in  store  for 
the  Gniversity.  Due  to  the  current  administration's 
stance  on  financial  aid,  there  will  invariably  be  a 
basic  change  in  the  quality  of  classes  as  well  as  a 
shift  upwards  in  the  income  of  next  years  fresh- 
men class.  1  would  like  to  see  a  partial  bill  pay- 
ment plan  installed  in  response  to  the  difficulty 
many  students  and  parents  are  having  in  paying 
for  the  semester  in  one  lump  sum.  A  partial  bill 
payment  plan  would  allow  for  two  or  three  sepa- 
rate payments  to  be  made  during  the  course  of  a 
semester,"  said  Dean  Field. 

In  response  to  criticism  about  the  impersonality 
of  GMass,  Dean  Field  feels  that  students  are  gen- 
erally prepared  for  the  atmosphere  at  GMass  be- 
fore they  arrive.  "Students  usually  know  other 
family  members  or  friends  who  are  able  to  tell 
them  about  the  'GMass  Experience'.  Then  there  is 
always  orientation  (a  program  Dean  Field  originat- 
ed) whereby  each  student  gets  a  feel  for  the  Gni- 


WILLIAM  F.  FIELD 

versify  prior  to  the  start  of  their  first  semester." 
Dean  Field  went  on  to  say,  "1  feel  that  anonymity 
builds  skills.  Generally,  the  right  people  come  to 
GMass  in  the  first  place.  These  are  the  people  who 
can  develop  a  sense  of  self  and  who  get  involved 
with  some  aspect  of  campus  activity."  Dean  Field 
does  admit  to  a  communications  problem,  howev- 
er. The  sheer  size  of  the  student  body  prohibits 
students  from  receiving  all  of  the  information  that 
they  should. 

As  of  Spring,  1981,  Dean  Field  has  reinstated 
the  Dean's  List,  whereby  students  receiving  a  3.5 
cum  or  better  are  recognized  for  their  effort  in  the 
Collegian  and  local,  hometown  newspapers.  "We 
used  to  have  a  Dean's  List  for  years.  Then,  during 
the  early  70's,  the  Gniversity  moved  away  from  it. 
Recently,  students  began  asking  about  it  again, 
and  the  administration  felt  the  time  was  right  for 
bringing  it  out  again." 

In  the  years  ahead.  Dean  Field  would  like  to  see 
a  more  responsive  system  for  student  needs  be 
developed.  He  would  also  like  to  see  an  abolish- 
ment of  the  language  requirement,  stating  that 
students  forced  to  take  a  course  will  neither  enjoy 
it  or  learn  anything  from  it.  Should  these  things 
eventually  happen,  you  can  be  sure  that  Dean 
Field  had  some  part  in  them.

NATURAL  SCIENCES  &  MATHEMATICS 


Dean  Frederick  Byron 

According  to  it's  Dean,  the  School  of  Natural 
Sciences  and  Mathematics  is  one  of  the  strongest 
areas  at  the  Gniversity.  "We  enjoy  the  reputation 
of  being  a  young  and  growing  school,"  remarked 
Dean  Frederick  Byron.  "In  addition  to  having  our 
programs  ranked  high  nationally,  our  Polymer  Sci- 
ence and  Radio  Astronomy  departments  are 
among  the  best  in  the  world!" 

"Our  programs  enjoy  immense  popularity  and 
are  always  in  heavy  demand,"  stated  Dean  Byron. 
"This  ever-increasing  demand  faces  us  with  cer- 
tain problems.  A  major  issue  is  the  need  for  expan- 
sion, particularly  in  the  areas  of  Computer  and 
Information  Science  (COINS)  and  Applied  Math- 
ematics and  Statistics.  We  simply  do  not  have  an 
appropriate  number  of  faculty  needed  to  teach  the 
number  of  students  signing  up  for  these  courses. 
This  shortage  of  faculty  and  teaching  assistants 
makes  it  increasingly  difficult  to  maintain  the  high 
quality  programs  we  now  offer.  Quite  bluntly,  we 
are  drowning  in  our  teaching  obligations!" 


The  biggest  threat  facing  the  School  of  Natural 
Sciences  and  Mathematics  is  budget  cuts.  "The 
effects  on  this  school  would  be  devastating!"  de- 
clared Dean  Byron.  "For  instance,  5  of  our  T.A. 
budget  could  be  slashed.  Should  this  occur,  our 
enrollment  would  have  to  be  limited.  Anywhere 
between  1000  to  2000  applicants  could  be  turned 
away.  In  addition,  we  would  not  be  able  to  offer 
anywhere  near  the  number  of  courses  which  we 
now  do." 

Aside  from  issues  of  budget  cuts  and  demand 
overload.  Dean  Byron  is  extremely  enthusiastic 
about  the  career  opportunities  facing  his  gradu- 
ates. "1  wish  I  were  them!"  he  remarked.  "This  is  a 
remarkable  period  in  the  sciences.  Many  facinat- 
ing  areas  are  opening  up,  all  of  them  offering 
excellent  growth  potential."  Dean  Byron  conclud- 
ed by  saying,  "1  would  like  to  wish  each  and  every 
one  of  our  graduates  much  deserved  success."

SOCIAL  AND  BEHAVIORAL  SCIENCES 


Dean  Thomas  Wilkinson 


Thomas  Wilkinson,  Dean  of  the  School  of  So- 
cial and  Behavioral  Sciences,  first  arrived  at  the 
University  in  1953  as  a  doctoral  student  in  Soci- 
ology. He  taught  Sociology  at  GMass  for  20  years 
before  accepting  the  post  of  Acting  Dean.  Three 
years  later  he  was  appointed  permanent  Dean. 

Wilkinson  feels  that  his  role  is  multi-faceted.  He 
most  enjoys  being  among  fellow  friends  and  col- 
leagues and  assisting  them  with  their  research. 
Because  of  this,  he  finds  it  most  difficult  to  have 
to  limit  research  funding  due  to  the  severe  budget 
restraints. 

Wilkinson  does  not  feel  that  the  recent  trend 
towards  the  hiring  of  business  and  engineering 
majors  has  kept  students  away  from  his  school. 
Instead,  he  believes  that  the  school  has  been  large- 
ly uneffected  by  the  trend.  "Rather  than  a  de- 


crease in  enrollment,  there  has  been  a  rise  in  the 
school's  enrollment  from  1977  through  1981.  1 
feel  that  this  increase  is  due  to  a  realization  by 
students  that  a  narrow  educational  training  can 
limit  the  scope  of  their  skills,"  says  Wilkinson.  "If 
a  student  possessing  a  limited  educational  back- 
ground enters  the  market  when  there  is  little  or  no 
demand  for  their  skills,  the  student  is  out  of  luck. 
With  a  broader,  liberal  arts  background,  the  stu- 
dent is  provided  with  a  certain  degree  of  flexibil- 
ity, making  it  easier  to  find  a  job." 

Dean  Wilkinson  advises  graduates  of  his  school 
to  use  their  University  experience  to  discover 
what  area  they  excel  in.  With  this  knowledge  they 
should  seek  out  a  career  which  they  will  continual- 
ly find  a  source  of  enjoyment  and  fulfillment.

FOOD  AND  NATGRAL  RESOURCES 


Dean  James  Kring 

"Of  all  my  years  in  higher  education,  the  past 
four  years  have  been  the  most  enjoyable."  So 
stated  Dr.  James  Kring,  acting  Dean  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Food  and  Natural  Resources.  His  college  is 
one  of  the  largest  divisions  within  the  University, 
encompassing  12  academic  departments.  Dean 
Kring  is  also  director  of  the  Massachusetts  Agri- 
cultural Station  as  well  as  the  Cooperative  Exten- 
sion Service. 

"The  College  of  Food  and  Natural  Resources 
has  an  excellent  reputation.  We  have  the  9th  lar- 
gest agricultural  program  in  the  entire  country. 
Nationally,  our  Associates  program  is  ranked  13th 
and  the  Doctoral  program  is  ranked  19th.  The 
CIniversity  actually  grew  from  the  once  named 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College.  Pointing  to 
the  Norman  Rockwell  original  hanging  in  his  of- 
fice, Kring  said  the  artist  presented  it  as  a  gift  to 
the  agricultural  school  during  one  of  the  com- 
mencements. The  drawing  shows  an  agricultural 


agent  testing  a  farmer's  soil  in  typical  Rockwell 
style. 

Dean  Kring's  enthusiasm  was  evident  as  he 
proudly  spoke  of  research  being  conducted  within 
the  college.  He  stated  that  the  Fisheries  Depart- 
ment arid  the  Entomology  Department  have 
gained  national  attention  for  their  work  on  salmon 
and  black  flies.  "With  all  this  marvelous  research, 
it  is  a  shame  that  most  Massachusetts  residents 
complain  that  their  tax  monies  are  being  spent 
carelessly.  Most  people  never  hear  about  the  posi- 
tive aspects  of  the  campus.  Everyone  seems  to 
associate  GMass  with  co-ed  bathrooms  and  the 
water  crisis,"  complained  Kring. 

"The  one  discouraging  aspect  of  my  stay  here 
has  been  the  physical  condition  of  this  College. 
The  buildings  are  in  bad  shape.  Half  of  them  were 
built  prior  to  1917,  with  25%  of  those  constructed 
before  1910.  We  desperately  need  a  new  Plant 
Science  building!  I  have  continually  stressed  to 
the  administration  that  buildings  built  before  1910 
cannot  be  renovated  in  1981  and  expected  to  last 
through  the  year  2000." 

As  Dean  Kring  leaves  the  University,  he  advises 
graduates  of  his  school  to  "Strive  to  work  to  the 
utmost  of  your  ability,  then  make  up  your  mind  to 
do  it  for  the  rest  of  your  life.  People  will  then 
recognize  you  for  what  you  are,  a  dedicated  pro- 
fessional. Success  will  then  surely  follow." 
-Maureen  Mc  Namara

HEALTH  SCIENCES 


Dean  William  A.  Darity 

The  School  of  Health  Sciences  is  comprised  of 
three  divisions:  Nursing,'  Public  Health  and  Com- 
munication Disorders.  Dean  William  A.  Darity  has 
served  as  Dean  of  the  school  since  its  inception  in 
1973.  Prior  to  his  being  named  Dean,  he  held 
positions  in  the  Department  of  Public  Health  here 
at  the  University  of  Massachusetts  and  in  many 
countries  with  the  World  Health  Organization. 

Dean  Darity  believes  that  his  school  is  not  un- 
like others  in  the  country.  "Both  the  Nursing  and 
Public  Health  programs  can  hold  their  own  with 
any  other  in  the  state  and  the  Communication 
Disorders  department  is  currently  ranked  first  in 
the  state,"  according  to  Dean  Daity. 

When  asked  if  the  Division  of  Nursing  would  be 
better  situated  on  the  UMass  Worcester  campus. 
Dean  Darity  replied  an  emphatic,  "No."  "The 
UMass  Medical  Center,  although  an  excellent  clini- 
cal facility,  has  no  academic  facility  available." 
Continued  Dean  Darity,  "As  it  stands  now,  the 
Division  of  Nursing  has  a  very  close  working  rela- 
tionship with  the  Worcester  site,  but  Nursing 
needs  a  broader  base  which  only  the  Amherst 


campus  can  provide." 

Dean  Darity  has  some  definite  ideas  on  what  he 
would  like  to  see  happen  within  the  School  of 
Health  Sciences  over  the  course  of  the  next  five 
years.  He  would  most  like  to  see  the  graduate 
Nursing  program  developed.  He  would  also  like 
more  research  in  all  units,  more  external  support 
for  the  school,  a  general  tightening  up  of  the  un- 
dergraduate programs  in  order  to  ensure  the  main- 
atinence  of  quality  backgrounds,  and  the  develop- 
ment of  a  more  collaborative  program  of  research 
between  the  separate  colleges  and  schools  within 
the  University.  In  Dean  Darity's  opinion,  "A  lot 
more  can  be  done  if  we  break  down  many  of  the 
existing  academic  barriers.  When  this  is  accom- 
plished, we  will  be  able  to  develop  some  good, 
strong  programs." 

Dean  Darity  advises  graduates  of  his  school  to 
initially  gain  more  work  experience  and  then  con- 
sider graduate  school.  He  feels  that  graduate 
school  imparts  students  with  greater  research  and 
academic  skills,  making  them  invaluable  mem- 
bers of  their  professions.  Dean  Darity  reminds  his, 
graduates  that  their  graduation  from  the  Universi- 
ty is  just  the  beginning  of

PHYSICAL  EDUCATION 


Dean  David  C.  Bischoff 

r.  ■ 

I 

"The  University  of  Massaciiusetts  has  been 
very  good  to  me,"  says  Dean  David  Bischoff  of 
the  School  of  Physical  Education.  Bischoff  served 
as  Assistant  Dean  from  1963,  Provost  for  the  Pro- 
fessional School  from  1970  through  1977,  and  as 
Dean  from  1972. 

"When  1  first  arrived  here  24  years  ago,  there 
used  to  be  agricultural  shows  in  the  Cage.  The 
University  was  still  very  much  Mass.  Aggy  with 
horses  and  cows  being  groomed  outside  the  Cage 
every  day.  I've  seen  many  changes  here  and  have 
done  my  best  to  keep  the  school  of  Physical  Edu- 
cation ahead  of  them."  One  of  the  major  changes 
has  been  in  the  emphasis  of  the  school.  Says  Dean 
Bischoff,  "The  emphasis  has  been  dropped  from 
the  teaching  area  now  that  there  are  only  200 
students  accepted  into  the  department  each  year. 
The  expanding  areas  are  now  exercise  science, 
sports  management,  and  sports  study  and  the- 
ory." 

"As  far  as  nationwide  ranking  of  our  school,  the 
graduate  department  has  been  ranked  7th  in  the 


country.  Ut  course,  this  quality  filters  down  to  the 
undergraduate  level  as  well,"  states  Bischoff. 

Along  with  every  other  school  and  college,  the 
School  of  Physical  Education  will  be  hard  hit  by 
the  budget  cuts.  "The  proposed  budget  cuts  will 
especially  hurt  the  quality  of  our  equipment.  The 
recent  problem  with  the  deterioration  of  the  tennis 
courts  are  perfect  examples  of  what  we  will  be 
facing  in  the  future.  Along  with  the  physical  mani- 
festations are  the  moral  deteriorations.  The  bud- 
get cuts  will  greatly  effect  faculty  recruiting  effort 
as  well". 

Plans  for  the  future  involve  strengthening  the 
current  athletic  programs  as  opposed  to  develop- 
ing new  ones.  Explains  Dean  Bischoff,  "What  we 
need  is  not  different  programs,  but  the  fruitation 
of  existing  ones." 

Dean  Bischoff  advises  graduates  of  the  Physical 
Education  School  to  keep  an  eye  out  for  different 
careers.  "Don't  let  interests  color  your  direction, 
career  choices  should  be  careful  ones."  He  goes 
on  to  say,  "Graduating  with  a  Physical  Education 
degree  in  1981  will  be  difficult,  especially  if  your 
interests  are  in  teaching.  Teaching  will  be  difficult 
due  to  Proposition  ZVi  and  a  recently  passed  Bill 
making  physical  education  classes  at  the  junior 
and  senior  levels  of  high  school  optional.  But  hang 
in  there.  There  is  always  room  for  someone  good."

BUSINESS  ADMINISTRATION 


■„asmm  ^ean  Harry  Allan 

In  the  past  eight  years,  Dean  Harry  Allan  has 
■  witnessed,  firsthand,  the  dramatic  increase  in  the 
number  of  students  seeking  a  business  education. 
The  first  five  of  those  years  were  spent  as  a  facul- 
ty member  of  SBA  teaching  business  law,  with  the 
last  three  years  spent  as  Dean. 

"There  are  currently  800  business  schools  in 
the  country  of  which  only  200  are  accredited," 
states  Allan.  "We  are  one  of  those.  We  are  also 
one  of  a  small  number  of  schools  offering  an 
accredited  masters  program.  In  addition,  CIMass 
offers  the  only  public  doctoral  program  in  busi- 
ness." 

Allan  believes  that  the  business  school  should 
be  enlarged  somewhat,  but  not  to  include  all  of  the 
current  demand.  Instead,  there  should  be  some 
type  of  compromise  between  the  numbers  apply- 
ing and  the  amount  accepted.  There  has  been  a 
definite  increase  in  the  number  of  women  and 
minorities  enrolled  in  the  business  program. 
"Women  constitute  about  50%  now,  while  ten 
years  ago  the  figures  were  only  5-6%.  At  present, 


minorities  comprise  about  8%  of  the  total  busi- 
ness program.  This  is  better  than  it  used  to  be,  but 
still  not  good  enough." 

"Our  goal  for  the  next  five  years  is  targeted  at 
becoming  one  of  the  top  ten  public  business 
schools  in  the  country,"  says  Allan.  "This  will 
involve  strengthening  what  already  exists.  We  will 
have  to  do  more  off-campus  education.  We  will 
also  be  working  at  improving  relations  with  many 
alumni  and  various  public  agencies." 

Dean  Allan  gives  the  following  advice  to  1981 
SBA  graduates:  "Pay  less  attention  to  the  salary 
of  the  first  job  as  to  its  potential  to  help  you 
develop  professionally.  Keep  in  mind  that  your 
career  will  last  at  least  40  years.  Never  stop  learn- 
ing and  develop  to  reach  as  high  as  you  can."

EDUCATION 


Dean  Mario  D.  Fantini 

Interview 

with 

Mario  D.  Fantini 

Professor  and  Dean,  School  of  Education 

University  of  Massachusetts/ Amherst 

Dean  Mario  D.  Fantini  has  thoroughly  enjoyed 
serving  as  Dean  of  the  School  of  Education  during 
the  past  four  and  one-half  years.  "Maintaining  the 
School  of  Education's  national  and  international 
reputation  of  excellence  and  innovation  has  pre- 
sented a  great  professional  challenge  for  me," 
cites  Dean  Fantini.  Prior  to  his  arrival  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts,  Dean  Fantini  served  as 
Dean  of  the  Faculty  of  Education  at  the  State 
University  of  New  York,  at  New  Paltz,  as  well  as 
Program  Officer  for  the  Ford  Foundation. 

"Students  are  drawn  to  this  School  of  Educa- 
tion for  a  variety  of  reasons  and  from  diverse 
backgrounds,"  says  Dean  Fantini.  "Many  of  our 
faculty  are  nationally-known  pacesetters  in  their 
respective  fields.  We  also  have  the  reputation  for 


dealing  with  contemproary  issues  in  education 
and  for  planning  alternative  futures.  This  school  is 
also  very  flexible,  encouraging  tailored  coricentra- 
tions  and  self-directed  learning."  The  undergrad- 
uate program  has  stabilized  while  the  graduate 
program  has  expanded  and  continues  to  expand 
especially  through  outreach  efforts.  "This  is  the 
only  state  School  of  Education  in  Massachusetts 
offering  a  doctoral  program  in  education.  Our  gra- 
duate outreach  programs  extend  to  both  Worces- 
ter and  Boston  in  order  that  working  professionals 
may  continue  thejr  education." 

Dean  Fantini  would  like  to  see  more  emphasis 
in  the  future  on  such  issues  as  outreach,  student 
access,  international  education,  collaboration  with 
the  University  of  Massachusetts  Medical  Center  in 
medical  education,  with  the  Harbor  Campus  on 
inservice,  and  with  business  and  industry  on  hu- 
man resource  development.  He  feels  that  the 
School  of  Education  is  taking  a  broader  view  of  its 
role  encompassing  a  concept  of  learning  in  the 
total  community  rather  than  just  to  schools  and 
classrooms. 

Dean  Fantini  advises  his  graduates  to  remem- 
ber that  education  extends  beyond  a  job,  serving 
to  increase  the  students'  control  over  their  own 
lives.  "This  is  a  difficult  period  for  teachers,"  says 
Fantini,  "Yet  there  is  always  room  for  good  teach- 
ers. Moreover,  learning  can  also  be  applied  to 
other  areas  such  as  parenting,  international  educa- 
tion, human  services  and  business  and  industry." 
Dean  Fantini  applauds  those  dedicated  students 
who  have  remained  in  education  despite  the  cur- 
rent obstacles  awaiting  them  after  graduation.

ENGINEERING 


Dean  Russel  C.  Jones 

Dr.  Russel  Jones  is  currently  enjoying  his  fifth 
year  as  Dean  of  the  Engineering  School.  Prior  to 
his  arrival  at  UMass,  Jones  studied  at  the  Carne- 
gie-Mellon Institute  where  he  received  his  PhD  in 
Civil  Engineering.  He  then  spent  eight  years  teach- 
ing at  MIT  followed  by  another  six  as  Department 
Head  at  Ohio  University. 

Jones  is  justifiably  proud  of  his  school.  "This 
Engineering  School  is  ranked  second  only  to  MIT 
in  New  England.  Also,  our  Manufacturing  Engi- 
neering and  Polymer  Science  Engineering  depart- 
ments are  ranked  first  in  the  entire  country!" 
Jones  continued,  "Being  of  such  high  quality,  the 
engineering  curriculum  is  a  rigorous  one.  Half  the 
students  entering  the  program  either  leave  or 
switch  to  another  program  by  senior  year.  But  the 
rewards  are  there  for  those  who  stick  out  the  full 
four  years."  Cites  Jones,  "  Engineers  can  expect 
to  graduate  this  year  with  an  average  of  8-10  job 
offers  each.  Even  in  slow  years  graduates  can 
count  on  at  least  2  offers."  Jones  feels  that  the 
phenomenal  growth  of  the  high-tech  industry  will 


guarantee  career  opportunities  for  years  to  come. 

Since  engineering  is  a  field  where  knowledge  is 
continuously  being  updated,  keeping  abreast  of 
new  technology  is  a  major  problem  facing  profes- 
sional engineers.  Because  of  this,  the  School  of 
Engineering  offers  a  unique  program  known  as 
the  Videotape  Instructional  Program.  In  this  pro- 
gram, companies  can  request  taped  University 
lectures  complete  with  notes,  homework,  and  ex- 
ams in  order  that  their  engineers  may  continue 
their  education  without  having  to  travel  to  the 
Amherst  campus. 

Jones  listed  "more  interaction  with  industry 
and  more  off-campus  education"  as  two  changes 
he  would  like  to  see  in  the  near  future.  "Also,  a 
larger  school  of  education  for  Electrical  and  Com- 
puter Engineering  is  needed  since  student  enroll- 
ment in  these  two  disciplines  has  doubled  over  the 
last  five  years." 

Dean  Jones  lists  two  orders  of  advice  for  gradu- 
ates of  his  school:  "First,  get  more  education. 
Start  on  your  Masters  degree,  whether  it  be  full  or 
part  time.  By  attaining  it  you  will  have  a  keen 
advantage  on  the  competition.  Secondly,  always 
be  professional.  Use  your  degree  toward  some 
purpose  which  will  benefit  society.  Engineering 
should  be  a  Mearned  art  in  the  spirit  of  public 
assistance."

Purring  rhis  yeorbook  rogerher  hos  meonr  quire  o  few  rhings:  sraff  parries  and  joking  around,  reprimonds  and 
disagreemenrs.  Of  course,  now  rhor  Ir's  done,  ir's  all  worrh  ir  (rhar's  how  all  edirors  feel  when  rhe  book  is  finally  done 
and  disrribured).  However,  rhere  were  mony  people  who  helped  me  rhrough  rhe  pasr  year  and  ossisred  me  wirh 
rhe  book. 

For  my  sraff,  I  wonr  ro  soy  many,  many  rhonks.  Wirhour  you,  ir  could  have  never  happened.  Nor  jusr  rhe  1981

Wirhour  rhese  people,  I  would  nor  hove  been  able  ro  complere  rhe  rask  ser  our  in  fronr  of  me.  However,  wirhour 
all  of  you,  rhe  srudenrs  of  rhe  Universiry,  rhis  rosk,  rhis  book,  could  never  have  been.  To  you,  I  con  only  express  my
