New Year Ushers In New Set Of

Values

One hundred twenty
five years ago, Am-
herst town meeting
members voted unani-
mously to raise taxes
in order to host the
building of what even-
tually became Massa-
chusetts Agricultural
College and subse-
quently the University
of Massachusetts in
Amherst.

Nearly six years lat-
er, in 1869, one faculty
member and four stu-
dents got together to
produce a small

to graduating seniors.
They titled the pam-

intend for it to be pub-

was and has been con-
tinuously for the past
119 years.

Since then, both the
Index and the univer-
sity have experienced
a number of changes
and the yearbook has
chronicled every one.

With this year's
theme, "U of All Peo-

that, despite the university's
large and diverse popula-
tion, it is possible for stu-
dents to be represented as
individuals.

One way is by participat-
ing in student protests and
demonstrations, and this
year, especially, the
strength of the student
voice was resoundingly
clear.

In September, students

protested a campus-wide

ban on the sale of tobacco,

and, at about the same
time, students were
demonstrating against
the administration's
refusal to allow the Le-
gal Services Office to
represent students in
university-related
matters.

Nearly five months
later, on Feb. 12,
about 100 minority
students, in a brilliant
strategic move, occu-
pied the New Africa
House, the minority
cultural center, for
seven consecutive
days.

The students were
protesting the univer-
sity's handling of a
Feb. 7 incident in

males allegedly shout-

After several days
of talks and delibera-
tions, Duffey accepted
the demands and
praised the students
for their show of pro-
fessionalism in han-
dling the situation.

Just as Spring tip
toed into the valley
and students geered
themselves up for a
season of concerts,
outdoor sporting
events and other
springtime activities,
Duffey initiated a
sweeping alcohol poli-
cy that now prohibits
the consumption of al-
cohol at all outdoor
events.

In a letter to the stu-
dent body, he said his
action was part of the
administration's plan
to better the academic
and social reputation
of the university.

But, students con-
sidered the policy an
infringement on their
rights and quickly
took up arms against
Duffey in a series of
peaceful protests.

Also in May, the
Board of Regents of
Higher Education ap-
proved an 8.5 percent
increase in tuition at
public colleges across
the state.

The new proposal
calls for an annual rise
in tuition until a 60
percent increase is
reached. Tuition for
the 1988-89 academic
year at UMass is ex-
pected to increase
$108.

Home, Sweet Hill

By John M. Doherty

You don't have to be Dr. Freud to
realize that Orchard Hill has a split
personality.

Nestled high above the campus amidst a
dense blanket of foliage, the Hill's majes-
tic slopes and regal brick and glass build-
ings would at first suggest a tranquil sanc-
tuary for the mellow-minded student or
nature-loving adventurer.

Yet, the Hill has been known to flash a
more ferocious face as well . . . Mercilessly
assaulting wintertime pedestrians with
fang-like bursts of wind while always
ready to claim an unwary high-heeled vic-
tim upon her treacherous ascent/descent
from its peak.

Long-known as a haven for cultural di-
versity. Orchard Hill is host to the presti-
gious Martin Luther King Center (at
Dickinson residence hall), while present-
ing regular forums on social awareness is-
sues, such as the recent racism/sexism
workshops in Webster dormitory as well as
the social-issues themed "Bowl Day," on
April 30.

For those students interested in develop-
ing their physiques as well as their intel-
lects, Webster's Hilltop Health Club pro-
vides an informed, energetic atmosphere
in which to tone sinews and develop per-
sonalized health regimes. Likewise, Field's
"Sweet's and More" snack shop provides
regular "exercises" in temptation for those
residents who find scooping ice cream
more fulfilling than "pumping iron."

All in all, this tree-flanked community
provides the perfect setting for those stu-
dents who wish to keep their heads in the
clouds, while maintaining solid footing in
areas of cultural concern.

Crown Of The Campus

By Lora Grady

ith a resplendent view of campus and
noble architecture providing interest
for the eyes, the elegant, sprawling
grounds of the Central living area add
much-needed drama to the serene land-
scape of nearby Orchard Hill.

Named for its strategic placement with-
in the empire that is UMass, the Central
area features an arrangement of austere
buildings with spires rising to the sky like
battlements to overlook the campus below.
Among the attractions enjoyed by Central
area residents (besides a proximity to
nearly every part of the campus) are the
Greenough snackbar, the Wheeler Art
Gallery, and luxurious stretches of lush,
green lawn which are ideal for a friendly
game of frisbee or catching some rays on a
warm spring afternoon.

Also particular to the Central area is the
Butterfield dormitory. Residents of But-
terfield do not participate in the campus
meal plan, opting instead to dine by co-op
arrangement, whereby meal planning,
shopping, cooking, and serving are all car-
ried out by students.

Each building in the Central area has an
architectural characteristic which defines
Mand sets it apart from its neighbors.
Brooks, located at the bottom of the steep
Central hill, features glassed-in lounges
connected by spiral staircases. Nearby
Wheeler has "decks" at either end of the
building, accessible from the fourth floor.
And Van Meter, the venerable matriarch
of the area, sits regally atop the crown of
the hill, sporting a cupola which com-
mands the greatest possible view of cam-
pus and the surrounding valley.

Irejnember my first visit to Southwest.
Of course, from any place on campus,
it was impossible to miss, with its five
towers projecting into the sk.y like brick
exclamation points. As I drew closer, I
realized that even if I were blind I could
still find my way there. It isn't exactly a
serene place. But, then again, with 5,000
people living there, how could it be? Can
you imagine all those people being quiet at
once? No, not really.

I must confess that I was a bit apprehen-
sive going there. I had heard about the
horrors of Southwest — the raucous tower
wars that make Orchard Hill bowl wars
sound like tea-time conversations, the in-
famous Southwest riot, and the perils of
walking from dorm to dorm because of the
never-ending construction that always
posed an inconvenience, not to mention
that it was such a long walk from my cozy
home up on the Hill. Well, I finally made
it there, and found myself captivated by
the diverse and exciting lifestyle.

Southwest has much to offer its inhabit-
ants. It has a full program of social, cultur-
al, and academic events for its residents.
There are also such services as the Mal-
com X Center and the Center For Racial
Studies. And, if one ever is looking for
something to do, a quick walk to the
Hampden Student Center should elimi-
nate all boredom. It houses a snack bar, a
craft shop, computer terminals, an audito-
rium used for concerts, plays, and other
social events.

Although it is virtually isolated from the
rest of the residential areas on campus,
Southwest has a full and fun atmosphere.
It has the largest social life at UMass. At
almost any hour, one can find people play-
ing basketball or frisbee on the horseshoe
or by the pyramids. This year, the South-
west Area Government sponsored a pro-
ject to renovate the Maze, an avant-garde
gathering place to walk through with
friends.

Someday I hope to conduct an experi-
ment to see if it is really true that there is
always someone awake on Southwest, at
any time of day or night. But, judging
from my crazy experiences there, and the
unique individuals I know there, 1 don't
even think 1 would have to bother.

A Melting Pot Of Trends And Tradition

John MacMillan

The Northeast residential area was
constructed in the early 1930's, mak-
ing it the oldest living area on
campus.

Tlie area showcases the simplicity of
traditional design and the luxuries of con-
temporary lifestyles, creating a unique liv-
ing atmosphere.

Located near the Graduate Research
Tower and Totman Gym, the area is made
up of nine residence halls (Crabtree,
Dwight, Hamlin, Johnson, Knowlton,
Leach, Lewis, Mary Lyon and Thatcher)
that are smaller than most dorms on cam-
pus. Still, these halls provide residents
with comfortable, close-knit settings in
which to study, sleep and simply let loose.

Crabtree dormitory houses a computer
room in its basement with three operating
terminals, while several other dorms have
fireplaces and saunas.

But, if that's not enough, each house is
built on the perimeter of a massive, grassy
field, appropriately named "the Quad."

In the winter, this area is the scene of
many a bloody snowball fight between the
different houses and, in the spring, the
snowballs usually become voUeyballs as
houses challenge one another to grueling
tests of physical endurance.

Aside from providing the opportunity to
flex sinews, the Northeast Educational
Program offers one-credit colloquia on
racism and sexism that stimulate the
brain.

A Campus Camelot

By John MacMillan

Sylvan has, in the past, been described
as the "castle on the beach." Its
warm, red-brick exterior, flanked by
towering oaks and pines , suggests a mod-
ern-day Camelot for the college set. Actu-
ally, Sylvan is the youngest and most
unique of all living areas on campus.

Situated in the Northeast corner of the
campus. Sylvan houses some 1,350 stu-
dents in its three residence halls.

Unlike other areas, each residence hall
is divided into 64 single-sexed suites.
These suites, occupied by six to eight stu-
dents, contain a living room/lounge area
and a small, common bathroom.

Students interviewed in a random sur-
vey, found this set-up to be the area's main
attraction.

According to Kim Walter, a resident of
McNamara house for six semesters, "The
suite atmosphere is very conducive to
studying. Everything is so private and you
also become very close with your
suitematcs."

Aside from its unique living arrange-
ments. Sylvan boasts a newly-renovated
snackbar with a wide selection of treats,
including Bart's ice cream, bagels, salads,
and hot dogs.

In the spring, the Sylvan Area, Govern-
ment plays, host to a variety of outdoor
activities, including Sylvan Day and
Brown Olympics. This year, the Sylvan
Cultural Society sponsored a successful
outdoor jazz festival.

r, ntering UMass as a freshm
*••* can be scary, especially whi
one realizes that he or she
becoming one of 25,000 stu
dents. It can be extremeh
easy to feel lost in the crowd
in the hustle and bustle of campus life.
After a while, people simply begin to look
alike, and days, in general, seem to blend
together — one day being indistinguishable
from the next.

But, here at UMass, there exists an un-
dercurrent of excitement, fueled, in part,
by intense student activism, which pre-
vents monotony from setting in. Almost
everyone can find something to spice up
their days, thus yielding a more fruitful
college experience.

Whether it be playing in a band, experi-
menting with hairstyle and dress, doing
something a bit off-the-wall every once in
a while, or simply enjoying the company of
friends, UMass students are definitely ca-
pable of upholding the university's reputa-
tion of being diverse.

We have labeled this section "The Flip
Side", for it showcases students away from
the confines of classrooms, doing what
they do best . . . being different!

Adventures In Living

By John MacMillan

Juniors and seniors, especially, al-
ways get the itch.
After living in residence halls for
four semesters, the novelty soon
wears thin and the seductive freedoms of
'off-campus living begin to beckon.

Being a college town, Amherst is well-
equipped to handle the swarm of students
seeking apartments.

Located in and around Amherst are ap-
proximately 15 apartment complexes
(ranging from Brittany Manor to North-
wood apartments) and hundreds of houses
specifically suited to meet student's tight
budgets and particular tastes.

In Sunderland is the traditional-style
Cliffside apartment complex (appropriate-
ly named for its location on the edge of the
towering, tree-flanked Sunderland cliffs),
the Sunderland apartments and the more
modern Squire Village. And, to cut trans-
portation costs, PVTA has bus stops set up
throughout the area.

Among the liberties and priviledges en-
joyed by off-campus students are: good
food, self-sufficiency, independence from
constrictive dorm policies and, more im-
portantly, peace and quiet.

Yet, total self-sufficiency also brings
with it a number of added responsibilities,
namely paying rent, gas, telephone, and
electric bills on time, every month.

Nonetheless, living away from the con-
fines of a dormitory can be a stimulating
experience; one that offers students a
wealth of opportunities not found on
campus.

Greek Homecoming: Mardi Gras Frolics

by Kris Bruno

If, at some point last se-
mester, you were a bit sur-
prised to see some eccentric
characters walking around
by the Greek Area and
tiiought that perhaps you
were crazy, don't be
alarmed. It wasn't the take-
over of the Earth by aliens
from outer space, but the
Greek Homecoming week-
end, a crazy and fun-filled
event for the many brothers,
sisters, and pledges that
took part in it.

Highlighting the return of
alumni, the Greeks dressed
up in outrageous costumes
and participated in a pa-
rade, where each house
made a float and portrayed
their favorite characters,
like Frank-n-Furter from
Rocky Horror, and the Star

A Letter To The Graduates

I am pleased to offer my congratulations and best wishes to every graduate in the Class of 1988. Your diploma from the
University will mean many things to you in the years ahead, and for each of you it will come to mean different things. What-
ever differences there may be, I hope that the education it represents will provide each of you with the skills and knowledge
you will need in the years ahead.

The Index this year is focusing on the impressive variety of people who make up our campus community. The Amherst
campus is, I believe, a mosaic in which individuals bring to the community unique combinations of talent, style, and values.
From a distance, these differences may appear to diminish and blend together. However, on closer inspection, we recognize that
these differences are a major source of vitality and strength for the University. Indeed, our individual differences are as
important as any common goals or ambitions we may share.

As the largest public institution of higher education in New England, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst provides
students with the opportunity to study many different subjects. But more than that, it offers everyone the chance to meet a wide
variety of people. An essential part of the education we offer involves this opportunity to meet and interact with a broad
spectrum of people. The social value of this experience is extremely difficult to measure.

Many parts of our campus will remain as you remember them. When you return in the years ahead, you will probably see
buildings, trees, and paths that you remember. What you may not see are all the people who have made major contributions to
your education. Because it is people that make education happen, the unique contribution each of you has made to our campus is
extremely valuable.

President Knap Addresses Students

Congratulations to the Class of 1988. As you look back on
your years at the University, you can take justifiable
pride in your accomplishments. Each of you knows the
extent to which your efforts have been dependent on family,
friends, mentors and classmates, but in the final analysis it is a
personal achievement that has brought you to this point in
your lives and careers.

Completion of your college education marks an important
step on your journey, both as individuals and as a community.
It has surely been accompanied by some travail and humor.
You are entitled to pause for a moment and consider, perhaps
with some amazement, the passage that has been completed.
You, of all people, are a college graduate. This is a time worth

savoring before moving on to new challenges and
responsibilities.

The University of Massachusetts is so varied and complex
an institution that its essence cannot be easily captured in any
one experience, but you may be sure that you have left a mark
on us at least as profound as our influence on you. Each
graduating class both creates and inherits a part of our
heritage.

Again, congratulations to the Class of 1988.

As Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Dennis
L. Madson oversees all aspects of non-academic
student life, including residence hall maintenance,
health care and various student counseling centers.
Overall, this may seem like an extremely over-
whelming task. But, Madson takes it all in stride.

This year, he and members of his office headed a
group of students, faculty and staff who attempted
to incorporate some aspects of Ernest Boyer's
book. The Undergraduate Experience in America,
to local campus life.

One idea that grew out of this experiment pro-
vided students with the opportunity to invite facul-
ty members to dinner at one of the three campus
dining commons.

Madson's office also put a greater emphasis on
combatting alcohol abuse and raising the academic
profile and cultural differentiation of the incoming
freshmen class.

As the Dean of Students for the past 27 years,
William Field has dealt with all kinds of student
emergencies, ranging from short-term loans to
family crisises. The office of the Dean of Stu-
dents is also responsible for academic remind-
ers, such as Add/Drop, to students and
IDB/TIPS.

This year, Dean Field's office closed the fra-
ternity BKO and tightened financial aid as the
result of a cut in the school's operating budget.

Wihm-. The Game Depicts College Experience

By Katie Dunican

What begins and ends at Whitmore, has
students going in all directions at the same
time, graduates students with an average
of 2.0 or better, contains lots of frustration
and, in spite of all, is lots of fun? An edu-
cation at the University of Massachusetts?
No, but UMass: The Game!

Rob Sears and Leedara Gerstein, stu-
dents in the Masters of Business Adminis-
tration program for Operations Manage-
ment, invented "UMass: The Game" as an
independent study project. They will re-
ceive their degrees in May 1988.

They first decided that they would like
to engineer a game in the spring of 1987.
Graham Morbey, a professor of Opera-
tions Management, agreed to sponsor the
product.

"We wanted a unique product. We did
not want another trivia game to slap the
UMass logo on, we did not want another

Monopoly to slap the UMass logo on,"
said Gerstein.

Sears said that they wanted a game that
would represent as much of the UMass
population as possible.

"The most common experience is the
campus itself — going around to different
buildings. Everyone has to deal with Whit-
more, where it all begins and ends," said
Sears.

"Everyone has different schedules. The
flow of students is in every direction at the
same time," he said.

The game is simple and fun. Each player
is dealt five cards which represent build-
ings on the campus map, the playing board
was designed by Barnabas Kane, a gradu-
ate of the university. After entering each
building, the player returns to Whitmore
and rolls the dice for grades. To graduate,
the average grade must be at least a 2.0.

Obstacles and advantages included in
the game are: "doors locked" signs, dem-

Photo by Renee Gallant

onstrations, towed cars, catching the Cam-
pus Shuttle, and riding bikes, all everyday
occurences.

"UMass: The Game" is on sale for
$9.95 at the University Store, H.L. Childs
& Son in Northampton, and Johnson's
Bookstore in Springfield. The Alumni Of-
fice is informing alumni about the game,
according to Sears.

Sears and Gerstein bought the various
pieces of the game from individual manu-
facturers and put the 3,000 existing copies
of the game together themselves. Of these
copies, 400 sold in the first month.

Sears says that the best publicity is
word-of-mouth.

"The game is timeless. It could have
come out four years ago, or four years
from now. The only thing fixed in time is
the map, and that will only change if they
put up a new building somewhere." Sears
said.

Preparations for the Hotel, Restaurant
and Travel Administrator's 13th annual
Career Day began in September when
HRTA faculty members appointed Vic-
toria Scuorzo and Nicholas de Lavalette
as co-chairpersons for the prestigious in-
formation forum. Scuorzo and de Lava-
lette were chosen for their dedication to
campus activities and for their constant
visibility in their respective departments.

The planning continued through Octo-
ber when (with the aid of their advisors,
Dr. Jeff Fernsten and Dr. Stevenson
Fletcher) Scuorzo and de Lavalette elect-
ed 1 1 people to chair six committees. Prior
to selection, these commitee heads had to
exhibit an enthusiastic involvement in past
Career Day festivities. With the help of
posters and announcements at lectures,
over 100 people signed up to work at Ca-
reer Day.

On the night befor-e Career Day, a panel
discussion was held with UMass graduates
currently involved with personnel manage-
ment in the hotel industry. They talked
about what their expectations were as se-
niors in college and how their lives
changed once they started work in the
industry.

When Career Day arrived on Feb. 17,
six months of hard work, scrutinous prepa-
ration and expectations paid off. This year
more people and companies than ever be-
fore participated in Career Day, and the
Campus Center Auditorium was filled to
capacity with tables from 45 recruiting
agencies.

Career Day benefitted everyone. Stu-
dents who worked Career Day not only
gained great resume material, but they
also garnered additional respect from the
HRTA faculty.

"It's great experience for a lot of us for
what we're looking for in our jobs and our
careers," Scuorzo said.

Basically, students were encouraged to
work in areas that best suited their inter-
ests. Students who coordinated publicity,
for example, were planning to go into sales
and marketing. The kitchen and banquet

committees were involved in the food and
beverage aspects of the industry.

"I've gained not only leadership quali-
ties, but I've really had to organize. I've
had to bring a lot of things that I've
learned in the past together. Everything
came into play. Career Day is a great op-
portunity to test yourself before you fail in
the real world," said Scuorzo.

Career Day fell in conjunction with the
senior interviewing period, giving students
a perfect opportunity to make contacts
with executives from major hotel chains.
Most of the recruiters at Career Day were
Human Resource representatives. Seniors
were able to talk informally with the repre-
sentatives to find out information about a
company, including facts about benefits,
hours and the potential for growth in a

position.

Underclassmen also benefit from Ca-
reer Day. When Scuorzo was a sopho-
more, for example, she was able to get a
summer job through a contact she made
with a Marriott representative.

"In the long run it has really benefitted
me because that contact turned into an
internship and then it turned into a job,"
she said.

The recruiters came to test the market;
to see what was going on in the students'
minds; to find out where their loyalties
were, and inquire about what companies
the students were interested in. According
to Scuorzo, "because we're supposed to be
the managers of the future, they're really
checking to keep their Human Resource
Departments abreast of everything."

The Most Popular
Class On The Campus

by Kris Bruno

He stands alone on the lecture platform, dressed as if
he were going to go mountain climbing or weed the
garden. In front of about 600 students with a small
microphone in his hand, he calmly observes the activity
in the auditorium — the people wandering up and down
the aisles looking for seats, the constant flow of chatter,
the shuffling of papers as students get settled.

Before he begins to lecture, he slowly dims the lights.
A hush falls over this chaotic group and all sit, pens
poised. He begins to speak.

". . . now, it is important to realize that all lumps in
your bodies are not tumors. I'm telling you this because
many of you will discover lumps in your bodies this
weekend. There's no need to panic." Laughter.

This is one's introduction to Microbiology 160, Biolo-
gy of Cancer and AIDS, taught by Prof. Albey Reiner. It
is one of the most talked about classes on campus, and
every semester some 800-900 students register, and 350
must be turned away. And yet, Mahar Auditorium is still
packed to full capacity every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday (with many people sitting in the aisles or along
the edge of the stage).

It can be a bit puzzling to understand why so many
students sign up for the class. It isn't an easy course.
There's a good amount of reading to do, and the exams
are extremely challenging. It isn't even a required
course, but instead is taken as an elective.

Albey looks at it this way. "How many of you," he
asked one day, "would take this course if it were "Biolo-
gy of Leprosy"?" Aside from a bit of laughter, no one
volunteers.

Albey reasons that since most people have known
someone with cancer, and since AIDS has become such a
hot topic, the lecture material is pertinent to all.
And yet, it is Albey's own personal approach to the
subject that enhances the class and infuses students
with a greater desire to learn.

Microbiology 160 is not your average science
course. Mixed with discussions of DNA and AZT
are those of karma and Tibetan medicine. Albey
gives many sides to the story, and his broad per-
spective widens those of his students as well. Of
course, some of what he says may sound a bit far-
fetched, but as Caroline Miraglia, sophomore civil
engineering major, puts it, ". . . because Albey is so
obviously intelligent — he has so many credentials
(he has studied at Princeton, Harvard, and Ox-
ford)— and he is so respected and interesting, it
makes what he is saying a lot more believable."

But perhaps what makes the class as wonderful
as it is is the fact that, as one student puts it,
"Albey has heart." Many students crowd around
him after class for advice or just to talk briefly.
But, his inspiring effect on his students was best
observed when, after the last lecture, Albey's class,
myself included, gave the man a standing ovation
for a job well done.

WicSe Beyond
Their Peers

By Richard Garcia

An innovation offered by the School of
Education, this year, was academic peer
counseling for their students.

Dr. Clement Seldin, director of the Stu-
dent Advising Corps., organized the pro-
gram. Fall semester, because of the need
for more advisors in the department.

The students who make up the program
are mostly undergraduate education ma-
jors who are members of the honor society.
Kappa Delta Pi. Chosen by Dr. Seldin,
they receive two credits per semester for
their services.

The student advisors work directly with
undergraduate education majors. Accord-
ing to Paige Zarganes, a student advisor,
"Many need advice figuring out the pre-
requisites of the major. Others need advice
to determine if a course they are interested
in taking satisfies major requirements."
When students come to the center with
such problems, the student advisor usually
refers the student to the proper director.

That the School of Education is pleased
with the student advisors, because the
work they perform is valuable, was demon-
strated when the -school took all of the
student advisors to dinner at the end of
Fall semester.

Zarganes said that the program has
been such a success that she does not see
how the School of Education can do with-
out it.

Freshman Major Night: They Came To Eat,
And Deceived Food For Thought . . .

By Brian Mahoney and Kris Bruno

The College of Engineering is celebrat-
ing its 41st anniversary with 2,023 fulltime
students, 200 graduate students and about
120 fulltime faculty members. The college
consists of five departments offering six
undergraduate degrees. They are chemi-
cal, civil, electrical, computer systems, in-
dustrial, and mechanicai engineering.

Today freshman engineering majors
are required to take basically the same
courses. At the end of their first year, the
students are called upon to decide their
concentration.

To help them, the Joint Student Engi-
neering Society holds a freshman major
night, in which each department sets up an
informational display booth. Freshman
students also have the chance to speak to
representatives from the five departments,
both student members and faculty. Ac-
cording to Asst. Dean Nancy Hellman,
the freshman nights are usually successful
and "a lot of fun".

The freshmen themselves also appreci-
ate the value of the event. Chiang Ma-Teh
remarked, "Well, I already had an idea
about what 1 wanted to concentrate in, but
it pays to have an open mind."

Greg Biello summed it up in this way —
"It was a lot of fun, and educational, too,
but most people came here for the food."

(SWE aides women engineers

By Kris Bruno and Scott Raposo

Picture being a freshman majoring in
engineering. Not only does one have to get
used to college life, which is hard in itself,
but the courses one has to take are taxing.
Aside from English 112, other required
classes include physics, calculus, chemis-
try, and Engineering 103-104. Taking one
of the aforementioned courses on its own
can be tough, but the combination is de-
manding and difficult.

Now, imagine (along with adjusting to
UMass and taking these courses) having
to face the stigma of being one of only five
women in a typical class.

Says Lisa Amstein, a freshman major-
ing in computer systems engineering,
"(male) students resent you just because
you're a girl — they think you don't know
just what you're doing."

Problems that Amstein has to face be-
cause of her sex are common, and for this

reason, there is the Society of Women En-
gineers, or SWE. SWE is an international
organization "designed to progress the ad-
vancement of women in engineering pro-
fessions," says UMass chapter president
Tracey Brennan.

The group, founded in 1949, provides
support services like the Big/Little Sister
program and social activities for "women
engineers to communicate with each oth-

Only 19% of engineering majors are
women, so to improve this rate, some of
the group's 75 members have gone back to
their high schools to talk about the UMass
engineering program to interested
students.

SWE will continue to grow and aid
women engineers in the future, and will
hopefully serve to lessen the intimidating
and tension-filled competition found in the
College of Engineering.

In November of 1985, the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, sponsored the
First National Nursing Conference on Vi-
olence Against Women. This conference
proved to be the origin of the Nursing
Network on Violence Against Women
(NNVAW). The network is aimed at re-
sponding to the needs of women who expe-
rience violence and abuse in their lives. It
attempts to accomplish this by conducting
forums for nurses and other health person-
nel to meet, submit ideas, and develope
support for its programs.

One of these programs is based at the
University of Massachusetts' Division of
Nursing and is headed by Christine King,
RN.Ed.D., Univ. of Mass/ Amherst, along
with Josephine Ryan, RN.D.N.Sc, Bos-
ton University.

Credited with obtaining the funding for
the program from the Area Health Educa-
tion Council, they also feel the program
will educate nurses to greater effectiveness
at assessing and providing for the needs of
battered women.

The training program last spring edu-
cated over 150 nurses from 14 different
area hospitals. In eight hours of instruc-
tion and experiential work, the purpose is
to dispel myths about battered women,
which are frequently held by members of
society, including nurses.

Drs. King and Ryan also instruct nurses
in how to increase their ability to assess,
intervene, document and refer instances of
abuse in the lives of women clients. A fu-
ture objective of the program will be to
educate patients about their ability to take
control of their own lives and to avoid
abuse.

North submits shreds
of information

■Kjr arine Lt. Col. Oliver L. North, a key official in plans to
-'■'-*■ finance Nicaraguan rebels with money from arms sales to
Iran, was questioned extensively during the summer months con-
cerning the nature of his involvement in these activities. North
denied that Congress, the President, or the Vice-President had
any knowledge of these activities.

One of the major issues which was brought up at the hearings
were the shredding of secret documents detailing covert opera-
tions in Central America and the Middle East; it was maintained
that they were shredded for the protection of those who were not
involved.

Besides North, others associated with the Iran-Contra affair
were: North's one time boss, former national security advisor,
Robert C. McFarlane, Rear Adm. John M. Poindexter, and the
much publicized secretary to North, Fawn Hall.

For as many people who were opposed to North's activities,
there was an equal, if not greater amount in full support of him.
This was evident by the size of the crowd trying to get into the
hearings and the stacks of supportive telegrams awaiting him
inside the courtroom.

Thousands of stock brokers anxiously watched the market in mid-October after it
plummeted 508 points.

Black Monday shakes
financial world

"T" he financial world was reeling after Monday, Oct.
19th showed a 508 point drop in the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, stripping $500 billion from the
market value of the U.S. securities. This record loss
was felt world-wide on the Tokyo, Hong Kong, Aus-
tralia and London stock exchanges.

Some predicted consequences of the "meltdown"
were:

-absence of confident consumer spending
-loss of the wealth aiding our current financial
recovery

-capital cost increases for smaller businesses
-higher chance of a recession in 1988

Although President Reagan insisted that panic was
unnecessary, his critics blamed Reagan's lack of com-
mitment in reducing the deficit for eroding consumer
confidence.

Despite being reminiscent of the Crash of '29 (in-
cluding desperate suicides by those most affected by
the market), in order to reach the magnitude of that
catastrophe, the market would have had to fall almost
another 100 points. Instead, a rocky recovery was
tentatively anticipated. By Jody Wright

Increasing Awareness In The Age Of Aids

Intense fear is a response many
people have when it comes to the
topic of AIDS in our country. Because
of the varying information available as
to how the disease is spread, many peo-
ple have become paranoid about casual
contact, public facilities, and even mos-
quito bites. Education is our best de-

fense against this paranoia so that we
may learn to discriminate against the
virus, not its victims.

It has been six years since America
first heard of the mysterious immunity-
robbing disease called AIDS. Although
the duration of the disease varies, no
one recovers. So far, AIDS has killed

nearly 25,000 Americans, and Presi-
dent Reagan has procaimed it "Pub-
lic Health Enemy #1."

Millions of dollars have been
poured into research and education
to begin to lift the shroud of mystery
that surrounds the epidemic.

In the next four years 155,000
lives are expected to be claimed by
the disease. There is varied specula-
tion as to who can catch the virus, as
it is no longer restricted to those in
high risk groups such as those with
multiple sex partners, intraveneous
drug users, and homosexuals. There
are now children and new-born in-
fants acquiring the disease.

Controlling the spread of AIDS is
difficult because there are only theo-
ries and research data, not extensivly
proven facts, to explain how AIDS is
contracted.

It is not just a pessimistic opinion
that there will not be a cure for
AIDS anytime in the near future, it
is a realistic statement.

James Baldwin's death
saddens admirers

T ames Baldwin, one of the most dynamic writers of our

generation, died Nov. 30 of stomach cancer in St. Paul
duVence, in the south of France. He was 64 years old.

Baldwin, born in Harlem, 1924, participated early in the
fight for integration and civil rights. His stirring works, includ-
ing Go Tell It On the Mountain {19521), and Notes of a Native
Son (1955), describe the incredible sociological toll of racism
and discrimination.

Over the last 40 years, he moved back and forth between the
United States and France. His "foster" country, France, made
him a Commander in the French Legion of Honor, only the
second black person to receive that honor.

He taught literature at the five colleges in 1983, and, later,
became a faculty member in the University of Mass-Amherst
English department, teaching one semester a year. He was
greatly admired by his students and peers.

He was writing the biography of his friend, Martin Luther
King Jr. when he died.

Historical Summit. A step towards peace?

Two of the world's "Great Commu-
nicators," the U.S.S.R.'s General
Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and
U.S. President Ronald Reagan met in
December for a history making
summit.

Gorbachev arrived in Washington
D.C., Dec. 7, with his elegant wife
Raisa, to negotiate the signing of a
treaty that would eliminate all of the
United State's and Soviet Union's
combined 2,611 Intermediate Range
Nuclear Missiles.

The Intermediate Nuclear Forces
(INF) treaty not only calls for the de-
struction of these missiles, which have
a range of 300-400 miles, but also for-
bids the building, testing, or deploying
of any new ones.

Although each leader expressed dif-
ferent concerns (Gorbachev hoping to
hear some "new words on their side"
and Reagan expressing concern over
violations of the treaty) the treaty was
signed Dec. 8 at the White House.

While meetings between their hus-

bands occurred, Mrs. Reagan and
Mrs. Gorbachev conversed over cof-
fee at the White House. Although, it
had been rumored that the fashion-
able first ladies didn't get along, there
was no sign of this during the summit.
Mrs. Gorbachev also made a short vis-
it to the Jefferson Memorial and was
given a whirlwind tour of the capital
city.

Amidst the excitement and publici-
ty of the leaders' third summit meet-
ing, several incidents occurred that
demonstrated that not all of the coun-
try was caught up in the charisma of
the Soviet leader and his wife. Two
hundred thousand people marched on
Capital Hill, Dec. 7, demanding the
release of detained Soviet Jews, and
the cease of oppression. During the
treaty signing ceremony, hundreds of
people participated in Anti-Soviet
demonstrations and other related
struggles. Mere blocks away, picketers
were arrested for marching and pro-
testing illegally within 500 feet of the

Soviet embassy.

Others, seemed entranced with the
new Soviet leader and his wife. Gorba-
chev was even made Time magazine's
"Man of the Year." However, this de-
crease in arms is insignificant when
the entire picture of remaining weap-
ons is examined.

UMass Celebrates 125th

President Knapp Says School Is
On Verge Of Greatness

19th Gentry: Old South College.

By John MacMillan

"Let it be remembered that the College has been established to continue forever, that
good name of Massachusetts is inseparably united with it, and that its reputation ought
to be as dear and sacred to every citizen of the state as that of his most intimate friend."

That's William S. Clark, third president of
Massachusetts Agricultural College, speaking to the
first faculty members and graduates of "Mass Aggie"
in 1867.

His motto back then was simply "Do it," and here he was
urging state legislators and citizens to protect the good
name of the state and the newly-founded agricultural
college.

Exactly 125 years later, the University of Massachusetts
is celebrating its birthday "on the threshold of greatness,"
according to university president David Knapp, with three

thriving campuses and an enrollment to-
taling 41,164.

Knapp kicked off the celebrations with
a speech to members of a noontime convo-
cation, which also included appearances
by Chancellor Joseph Duffey and John
Lederle, who served as the school's presi-
dent from 1960 to 1970.

In his speech, Knapp said "We are on
the threshold of greatness, but that last
mile may be the most difficult. We must
and will convince the people to go the last
mile. We must be second to none."

The university owes its inception to the
1862 signing of the Morrill Land Grant by
President Abraham Lincoln, which pro-
vided states with land on which to build
state-owned colleges and universities.

The idea of constructing the college in
western Massachusetts was advocated by
many local towns in 1862, but it was Am-
herst that fought most diligently, voting,
during its Jan. 25, 1864 town meeting, to
raise taxes in order to host the new school.
The town raised $50,000 and on Oct. 2,
1867, Massachusetts Agricultural College
opened its doors on a 310-acre stretch of
land to 36 students and three faculty mem-
bers: Henry Goodell, Charles Goessman
and Levi Stockbridge.

The school was commissioned to teach
the "practical arts," primarily home eco-
nomics, mathematics, English, German,
French, botany and zoology.

The only buildings on campus at the
time were North College and Old South

bells at 9, 10, and 1 1 signaled the start of
classes. At noon, students participated in
mandatory military exercises and at 12:30

were permitted to eat lunch.

By 1923, the military exercises were
dropped and the college had expanded to
710 acres — 515 of fields, 135 for experi-
mental purposes and 60 for the construc-
tion of buildings.

Up until the 1930s, the college re-
mained a relatively small, intimate school,
where freshmen were ordered to salute
their professors and seniors in public. In
1931, the school changed its name to Mas-
sachusetts State College, and, in 1947,
adopted its current name.

The university experienced its most rap-
id period of growth after World War II
when the newly-enacted GI Bill provided
veterans with educational benefits to at-
tend school. By 1954, the university's pop-
ulation surpassed 4,000 students.

In 1965, the university opened its sec-
ond campus in Boston, and six years later,
in 1971, the University of Massachusetts
Medical School in Worcester.

Today, the university's Amherst campus
operates on a budget of $327.3 million,
consists of 1,227 acres of land, 423 build-
ings and has an enrollment of 19,853 un-
dergraduates and 6,833 graduate students.

Some famous alumni of the university
include basketball superstar Julius Erving;
author Paul Theroux and actor Bill Cosby.

Street Battles Rage
In Gaza City

Tear gas, rubber bullets, stones, metal bars and live ammu-
nition filled the air in Gaza city, Jerusalem as fighting
between Israelis and members of the Palestine Liberation
Organization over control of the Gaza Strip intensified in
January.

Nearly 30 deaths and 200 injuries have been reported since
the unrest began on Dec. 9. So far, almost 2,000 rioters have
been arrested.

Officials have blamed the violent unrest on despair and
frustration among the Israeli population, particularly those in
refugee camps. Israelis have refused to negotiate with the
PLO, claiming the group commits acts of terrorism. Palestin-
ians, however, pledged their allegiance to the PLO, naming the
group as their representative.

Palestinian children have also become embroiled in the
fighting. At times, children have been observed throwing
stones at patrolling soldiers and building roadblocks. They
survive because soldiers refuse to open fire at children.

end on Feb. 17. The student sit-in, involving about 150
minority students, was in response to racial problems on
the UMass campus.

On Feb. 7, after a party injthe Sylvan residential area, five
white males allegedly started a fight with two black males in a
racially motivated attack. This incident and the World Series
riot in Southwest in 1986 were cited as two examples of the
existence of racial predjudice on campus.

The students who occupied the house submitted a list of
demands to Chancellor Joseph Duffey. Some of the demands
included: recruiting more minority students and faculty to
UMass, and drafting a change in the code of Student Conduct
regarding racial violence or harrassment.

A two- day moratorium followed the sit-in during which
lectures, films, and other educational material were made
available.

Bonnie Blair

Gold Medal
Champions

Even if you didn't watch the 1988
Winter Olympics, held in the Sadd-
ledome in Calgary, Canada stories
surrounding them were hard to miss.

Bonnie Blair, a speed skater from
Champaign, 111. won a gold medal in the
500-meter race on Feb. 22. Her .02 second
margin over East Germany set a new
world's record.

Dan Jansen, whose sister died the morn-
ing of his 500-meter speed skate, fell dur-
ing both the 500 and 1000 meter races.

Alpine skier, Alberto Tomba, whose fa-
ther promised him a Ferrari if he won aj
gold metal, won two. Upon receiving his
second gold metal, he said it as the second
time in his life he had cried; - the first time
he cried was when he won the first medal.
The Italian La Bomba ( The Bomb) said
that maybe if Katarina Witt didn't win a
gold in the future skating competition, she
could have one of his.

The women's figure skating competition
turned out to be an exciting and surprising
event. Debi Thomas from San Jose and
Katarina Witt both chose to skate to the
opera "Carmen" with different
interpretations.

Katarina skated a "safe" performance
and beat out Thomas, who encountered
some disabling flaws early in her perfor-
mance and never regained her mental
edge. Witt, 22, won the gold, while Thom-
as settled with the bronze medal.

hearing president.

Student Protestors
See Results

Elizabeth Zinser's March 7 appointment as president of
Gallaudet University for the deaf in Washington, D.C.
met with intense controversy among students at the
school.

Two days after Zinser's induction, students gathered outside
the university with signs reading "Honk for Deaf Prez Now,"
and "Zinser, Please Quit Now." The students considered the
appointment to be in poor taste and were petitioning the
school's administration to hire a deaf president.

Three days after she took the job, Zinser, who was vice-
chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
prior to receiving the president's post, resigned.

Senseless Killing
Raises Debate

"D od Matthews, arrested and charged with
-'■^ clubbing Shaun Ouillette to death, was
brought to trial in March. The court de-
termined that Matthews lured Ouillette into a
secluded area after school and beat him to
death. Matthews reportedly wanted to see what
it was like to kill someone.

Although Matthews was only 14 at the time
of the killing, he was tried as an adult. His plea
to the court was not guilty by reason of insanity.
An element in his defense was his history of
mental instability and a prescription drug called
Retalin, used to control hyperactivity. Psycholo-
gists argued, however, that the drug does not
produce symptoms that would make someone
want to kill.

After Matthews had killed Ouillette, he
brought a couple of his friends to see the body.
One of thee friends then wrote an anonymous
letter to the police, identifying Matthews as the
killer.

Reagan Deploys Troops

More than 3,000 U.S. combat troops arrived at Palmerola
Air Force Base, in Honduras, on March 17 in what was
called an "emergency deployment readiness exercise" or-
dered by President Reagan. The deployment, formally ordered on
the 1 6th, was meant to show Hondurans that the United States
stands behind their country if the government decides to invade
Nicaragua.

Prior to the deployment, there had been gunfire between the
rebels and Sandinistas for three days, but very little movement by
either side. It was alledged that Nicaraguan troops had crossed
into Honduras in pursuit of Nicaraguan rebels, but Nicaraguan
officials maintained that it forces did not cross the border.

President Reagan's response to the country's plea for help was
seen to be dangerous for the United States because it created
what some termed "a volatile situation." Secretary of State
George P. Shultz assured citizens that troops were in no danger
and would be kept away from battle zones.

Protesting The
Alcohol Ban

Anew policy prohibiting alcohol
from outdoor events at UMass
sparked debate among students
about the fairness of the prohibition.
Students believed the policy would en-
courage students to become closet
drinkers and drink in shorter periods of
time, prior to events.

A coalition of students protested
twice during the semester. They were
not only angry with the loss of their
right to drink, but also because the poli-
cy was drawn up without any student
input.

After the first rally on the steps of the
Student Union, 1500 students gathered
in front of the Whitmore Administra-
tion Building armed with signs, flags,
and a six-foot Bartles and James bottle
with " Joe Duffey, once again, we thank
you for your support" scrawled across
the front of it.

The next demonstration was held on
Chancellor Duffey's front lawn after a

More than 500 students sat on Duffey's
lawn singing and chanting: "All we are
saying is give booze a chance";"Joe's

All in all the protests were peaceful
and no major incidents occurred.

BKO Shut Down After Police-Raid

The administration cancelled its rec-
ognition of the BKO (Beta Kappa
Phi) fraternity after a police raid on
April 7.

Sixteen full kegs, more than 80 empty
kegs, cocaine, and barroom equipment
were confiscated in the bust. The raid was
a result of a several month investigation
into the illegal sale of cocaine and alcohol
at the house.

Those who were at the house on April 7
were questioned and released. One person
was taken into custody for possesion and
intent to distribute cocaine.

Twenty-two freshmen and sophomore
brothers living in the house were evicted
when the house was no longer recognized
as an approved form of housing. They
were forced to move into the residential
halls.

Las Vegas Shaken Up In
Fuel Plant Explosion

A shuttle fuel plant in Henderson, Nevada, 10 miles out-
side of Las Vegas, exploded on May 4. The plant supplies
fuel to the space program. The fiery explosion killed between 1
and 10 people and injured approximately 150. Multiple blasts
were felt up to 200 miles away, the strongest of which register
3.5 on the Richter Scale.

Flames shot 100 feet into the sky followed by a giant mush-
room cloud, which covered 5 square miles of the Nevada
desert. A plane flying overhead near the time of the blasts saw
the smoke that reached 20,000 feet.

Las Vegas schools were evacuated and closed, and area
hospital workers were called in or put on stand by to care for
those who were injured in the explosion. A curfew was en-
forced in the town of Henderson to help police prevent looting
of businesses and homes where windows were blown out in the
blasts.

Reagan, Gorbachev
Make Progress

President Ronald Reagan and Soviet
Premier Mikhail S. Gorbachev both ap-
peared upbeat after ending four days of talks
on May 31 in their fourth summit meeting.

Although the two leaders parted at an im-
passe on a major nuclear arms agreement and
with opposing views on a variety of human
rights issues, the two considered their talks
beneficial.

But, after smiling for photographers and
wishing each other well, the leaders held sep-
arate press conferences in which each criti-
cized the other's policies.

Nevertheless, the two vowed to continue to
strive for the signing of a major arms reduc-
tion treaty.

"We can look with optimism on future ne-
gotiations," he said. "The conversations are
still going on, and I say progress is still being
made."

Noriega Refuses US Offer

!^j»

eneral Manuel Antonio Noriega, the Panamanian military leader, on May
25 refused to accept a U.S. proposal that would drop the drug-related

charges brought against him if he relin-
quished power.

Noriega apparently made his decision after
early-morning talks between him and U.S.
envoy, Michael G. Kozak, broke down.

"At the final moment in negotiations, Nor-
iega would not carry through with the ar-
rangements his representatives had negotiat-
ed," said Secretary of State George Shultz, in
a news conference held that afternoon.

U.S. Undersecretary of State Michael Ar-
macost said the talks broke down when Nor-
iega, after considering the reaction of his sub-
ordinates in the Panamanian Defense Force,
refused to negotiate.

Apparently, Noriega was afraid that gen-
erals of the Force would take up arms against
him.

The leader's action left the Reagan admin-
istration with nothing to show for three
months of imposing severe pressure on Nor-
iega in an attempt to oust him from power.

Students display letters spelling "Buckle Up" in front of the steps of the Student Unioli.

Oh! So Close

By Susan Hope

The impossible became closer to the
possible on a cold Saturday afternoon last
November when the UMass Women's
Soccer team defeated Central Florida in
the NCAA semi-finals. This 2-1 victory
enabled the team to advance to the
NCAA championship game, after five
straight years in the Final Four

But, that very next day, number one
seeded North Carolina shattered the
dreams of the valiant Nfinutewomen and
their legion of supporters.

The Minutewomen entered the Final
Four with a 19-1 overall record, culminat-
ing a remarkable season that included im-
pressive victories over UConn, Boston
College, and Harvard. Then, the dreams
of these twenty-three women turned into a
reality as they squeaked by 7th - seeded
Central Florida with a 2-1 victory. Finally,
it was time for a repeat confrontation with
top-ranked North Carolina.

Over 6,000 die-hard soccer fans braved
zero degree weather and crowded Warren
McGuirk Alumni Stadium to witness this
epic battle between two teams destined to
fight for the championship trophy.

During the first half of the game, the
two teams remained at a deadlock, score-
less at halftime. Then, early in the second
half, the tide shifted when UNC captured
the lone goal of the game. The goal was
barely scored — trickling over the line and
cleared by the goal tender. The UNC Tar
Heels had won.

So the dream faded, but the spirit, ex-
citement and accomplishments of these
women cannot go unnoticed. There were,
for example, only eight goals scored
against UMass, four of these during the
regular season. Even more impressive is
the fact that seven players represented
UMass on the All-Tournament team.
They were: Captain Monica Seta, Cathy
Spence, Carolyn Micheel, Kristen
Bowsher, Cathy Cassady and Carla De-
santis. Debbie Belkin was selected to both
the tournament and as most valuable de-
fensive player. Also, Coach Kalekeni Ban-
da was named New England Women's In-
tercollegiate Soccer Association
Coach-of-the-Year for 1987.

And so, the Minutewomen are second in
the country. But, more importantly, their
dedication and pride has made them a
class act, an act that came close . . . Oh, so
close.

There was more than ice breaking at
Parson's Field on that frigid day in late
November.

With httJe sunshine and very few wit-
nesses, the University of Massachusetts'
football team finally cracked their seem-
ingly unending losing streak on Nov. 22 by
defeating Northeastern University, 27-7,
in their final contest. But, even with that
win secured tightly under their belts, the
team ended their season with a 3-8 record.

It seemed that from the start of season
action on Sept. 1 1 . lady luck had her back
turned to the Minutemen.

The team lost their first three contests
against U Maine, Richmond and James
Madison

During the latter, UMass spotted James
Madison a 2 1 -point lead and was unable to
come back. The final result was a 21-15
JMU victory over the Minutemen; a loss
that marked the first time UMass went
1-5-1.

Rhode Island, the team's next opponent,
received a severe spanking from the Min-
utemen on Oct. 3. The team demolished
URI, 42-7, and then moved on to face the
Universit> of Delaware's Blue Hens.

The Hens, however, proved to be too
strong for the .Minutemen's tight defensive
line. The\ defeated the team, 37-34.

On that day. UMass turned the ball
over nine times, including five intercep-
tions thrown by quarterback Dave Palazzi.
They also nearly dug their own grave by
allowing the Hens to capture a 24-0 lead
before the thousands of fans even found
their scats.

This loss gave the Minutemen a 1-4
mid-season record.

At this point, the season took a second
severe nose dive.

Save for an early win against Boston
University, the Minutemen experienced
losses against Holy Cross, Villanova and
New Hampshire.

Fortunately, the Northeastern Universi-
ty Huskies proved to be an easy enemy,
falling to UMass, 27-7.

According to Coach Jim Reid, it was 10
weeks of pent-up frustration that gave his
team the power to beat the Huskies.

"I'm just so proud of our guys, because
they've had to pick themselves up every
week, and it's been a real tough season,"
he said.

A Miracle Season

By Susan Hope

It was a miracle season indeed.

The UMass Women's Field Hockey
Team, once considered unlikely candi-
dates for the Final Four, engaged in a
brilliant late season surge to capture a
close call NCAA playoff bid and a third
place national ranking.

The Minuiewomen were heavy playoff
underdogs going into the regular season.
Beating Ball State ( 1 -0) in the opener. The
Minutewomen lost their next couple to
Old Dominion and Virginia respectively,
adding more gloom to the playoff picture.

Two-thirds through the season the Min-
utewomen were stuck with a meager 6-5-2
record and the playoff picture grew pro-
gressively dimmer. Ranked sixteenth in
the nation, the last six games were must
wins for the Minutewomen.

With determination and an equal
amount of motivation, the Minutewomen
fought with all their might to gain some
chance of a playoff invitation. Then, the
late season surge began. The Minutewo-
men ignited with a 5-0-1 run, including a
tic with Boston University and victories
over challenging opponents such as Dart-
mouth, Rhode Island, Syracuse, and sixth-
ranked Connecticut. The final triumph
against Rutgers clinched the last playoff
spot for the Minutewomen.

With an 11-5-3 regular season record,
which included eight games against divi-
sion one teams, the Minutewomen inched
from a sixteenth place national ranking to
the tenth position^ resulting in a chance for
a rematch with the University of New
Hampshire in the second round of the
NCAA playoffs.

Having lost to UNH earlier in the sea-
son, the Minutewomen slapped their oppo-
nents with a 2-0 win that advanced UMass
to a quarterfinal confrontation with unde-
feated Providence College.

Underdogs against the nation's number
three team, the Minutewomen's fierce de-
termination, under the leadership of co-
cap.ains Lynn Carlson and Veronica Cole-
man, overwhelmed Providence and the
Minutewomen surprised field hockey en-
thusiasts with a 4-1 win. This win ad-
vanced UMass to the Final Four
Tournament.

But in the first round of the tournament,
the miracle would come to an end. In the
NCAA Semi-finals, the Minutewomen
were jolted back to reality with a 3-0 loss
to North Carolina. Later that weekend,
the Minutewomen were able to gain back
respect with a remarkable 3-1 third-place
win over Iowa. Before the tournament,
Iowa publicly stated that UMass did not
deserve to be in the Final Four. In a sense
then, that was was a perfect ending to a
miraculous near perfect season.

Minutemen iall

by Susan Hope

1987 marked the initiation of the Atlan-
tic 10 Conference in men's collejge soccer.
The UMass Minutemen hoped to make
history by capturing the championship ti-
tle in the league's first year. However,
these dreams were anything but when the
team finished with a mere 7-11-2 record.

Humbling Boston University with a 2-0
shutout, the Minutemen appeared deter-
mined and able. But the first half of the
season came up just short of dismal. In-
cluding a 6-0 loss to Temple, the Minute-
men's 3-5-1 record was a midpoint indica-
tion of a troublesome year.

The fifth annual Massachusetts Chal-
lenge Cup, promising to bring exciting
soccer action to UMass and its enthusias-
tic soccer fans added more disappointment
to the team's morale. Falling to both
Brooklyn College and Loyola, the team
was forced to enter the final half of the
season with more determination.

But, the second half of the season
proved to be almost as disappointing. Con-
cluding with a 2-1 hard-fought loss to
fourth ranked Harvard, four more losses
were added to an already mediocre season,
forcing the team to give up any dreams of
an Atlantic 10 tournament invitation.

The 7-11-2 record, although not playoff
material was nonetheless no indication of
the Minutemen's talent, hardwork, and
potential. With only four seniors leading
the team and a slew of new freshmen re-
cruits, the record does not reflect the
gropus fine worth. The Minutemen consis-
tently supplied a fine display of defense
and a great amount of scoring
opportunities.

Coach Jeff Gettler, head coach of the
Minutemen for six years, may have ex-
pected a more impressive record, but can
be proud of the accomplishments of his
team. Eight of the eleven losses were by
one goal, and nine of the losses were to
dominant national teams. "Wc had the
hardest division one schedule in New En-
gland. We aren't a top twenty team, but
we worked welt together," said Gettler.

Rounding out the season, senior co-Ciip-
tain Andy Bing received first team All
New England honors and proved himself
one of the top senior players in the coun-
try. Bing also earned the team's top scor-
ing record. Sophomore Steven Cesnek re-
ceived second team All New England
awards, and freshman Peter McEvo> was
voted Atlantic 10 freshman of the vear.
Senior Matthew Cushing served as co-cap-
tain of the Minutemen in both his junior
and senior years.

A Spiker leaps into action to return an
opponents' play,

By Karen Wiilard

Just look at that scoreboard! These
Minutcwomcn surely have something to
brag about. In each of the tournaments,
Northeastern, New Haven, the Atlantic
10, and the UMass Classic, the UMass
volleyball team was victorious in every
game but one. That sole defeat, resulted
from the fierce strangle-hold that the
Northeastern Huskies had on UMass'
Spikers. Many of the wins achieved by the
Minutewomen, like those over St. Bona-
venture and Duquesne, were a breeze; oth-
ers like Holy Cross and Providence were
thrill-a-minute grudge matches to the
finish.

Much of the Spikcr"s success can be at-
tributed to the veteran talent in its ranks.
Experienced players like Macy Guiliotis,
Christine Mclinroc and Juliet Primer
churned out singularly spectacular perfor-
mances throughout the season.

The outcome of the A- 10 tournament,
which was fought against two tenacious
teams (George Washington and Penn
State) that had beaten UMass earlier in
the season, was difficult to predict, but the
Minutewomen went into it with an attitude
of relaxed confidence. Our tempestuous
titans stomped all over GWU only to be
felted b> Penn State. At this playoff tour-
nament, Zorayada Santiago had six aces
against GWU and Karen Ferguson made
the second team All-conference for the
Atlantic 10.

The UMass men's swim team proudly
boasts a 1 2-0 season. The competition was,
for the most part, far from fierce. Most of
the victories the Minutemen had were eas-
ily attained, like the meets against North-
eastern (154-63), Tufts (163-53) and
ULowell (143-39)!

To say that the Minutemen dominated
the season is an understatement; after all,
they won 41 straight dual meets and, by
doing so, have broke the standing UMass
record. Meets against teams such as the
University of Vermont amounted to little
more than practice for their triumphant
clashes with Boston University and the :
New Englands.

The Minutemen saw strong individual
achievements from , Dave Ehle, Roger
Kennedy and Brian Mclver. In the East-
ern Seaboard meet (which sadly marked
the end of the teams' dominance), Brian
took two individual finishes, racking up
seven medals and two fourth place
finishes.

The season started out well, but one
couldn't say with total confidence which
direction the season would head. By ex-
pecting a tough and very close meet from
the University of Rhode Island and com-
ing out of it with a 159-108 victory, the
team's precarious morale received a major
boost.

Team spirit and joint effort were impor-
tant factors in the Minutewomen's suc-
cesses. The sprint team (consisting of Me-
gan McCamy, Patty Pike and Sue George)
and the extraordinary diving group were
powerful threats to division opponents.
Free stylers Michelle Leary, Melissa Mc-
Carthy and senior Kris Henson picked up
impressive individual wins throughout the
season.

Strong efforts by many of the swimmers
qualified them for the ECAC meet and
prepared them for the New England's —
where they finished fourth. This met their
expectations, but surprisingly, their ability
and achievements were just 26 points shy
of the third place bronze. Beside coming
out of the meet with a very impressive
showing, the minutewomen boasted anoth-
er highlight: their mentor. Bob Newcomb,
was named the 1988 Coach of the Year.

A humble season

By Susan Hope

To the university's delight, the IJMass
Men's Basketball team ripped into the sea-
son with a 5-2 run, raising hopes and ex-
pectations for a successful chase of an At-
lantic 10 title.

But, those hopes slowly dv\indled as the
Minutemen, guided by Head Coach Ron
Gerlufsen, won only five of the next nine-
teen games.

These losses, some close and some not-
so-close, do not reflect the talent and po-
tential of the Minutemen. Although the
team persevered, they met with strong
competition in the Atlantic 10 conference
that dampened their chances of a tourna-
ment title.

The Minutemen finished with a 10-16
regular season record that included two
consecutive wins against Duquesnc and a
thrilling triple overtime loss to Rhode Is-
land. In the Atlantic 10 Tournament,
UMass lost to Duquesne in the Tirst round.
This loss not only ended the season for the
Minutemen, but also any hopes for a mi-
raculous come-back chase for the division
title.

Senior co-captains Lorenzo Sutton and
Wilbert Hicks offered great contributions
to the team's up and down season. Besides
leading the team in scoring, Sutton hit
many key baskets necessary to win close
games and provided outstanding leader-
ship throughout the season. Sixth-man
Hicks offered UMass tremendous help off
the bench and was a serious inside threat
to opponents.

Juniors David Brown and Duanc Chase
also proved their worth to the team.
Brown, besides a fine shooter, provided
tough defense and established the role as
an effective forward. Many times Chase
brought the Cage to its feet with powerful
dunks.

The season, however frustrating to the
team and it's devoted followers, included
many highlights that will not soon be for-
gotten. Former UMass star and Philadel-
phia 76ers legend Julius "Dr. J" Erving
returned to his alma mater as his college
number 32 was retired and raised to the
rafters in a packed-house ceremony.

Sutton, capping off a striking four-year
career with the Minutemen, broke the all-
time UMass scoring record and was also
named to the Atlantic 10, second team all-
star squad.

Finally, Ron Gerlufsen, head coach for
five years, announced his resignation after
the season concluded. Gerlufsen took con-
trol of the Minutemen after five 20-loss
seasons before his reign.

"I feel that the time has come to explore
different opportunities. I know that we are
leaving the program in a stronger position
than when we started," Gerlufsen said.

Minute^omen ilisisli 11-18

By Susan Hope

The Atlantic 10 pre-season coach's
poll projected that the University of Mas-
sachusetts Women's Basketball team
would complete the season in seventh
place. After a so-so season, seventh place
is exacth where the Minutewomen landed.

The Minutewomen fell 1-4 in the open-
ing of a season that would to be not only
inconsistent, but also frustrating to the
Minutewomen and their followers.

The Minutewomen startled their fans
with a 78-65 upset against Vermont and a
22 point win over William and Mary at the
Maine invitational. They also won two reg-
ular season games against St. Bonaven-
ture. Those same fans were dismayed
when UMass was twice trampled by
Rutgers with 33 and 36 point losses. Dur-
ing their first confrontation, Temple
ousted the Minutewomen 85-51, but
UMass struck back later in the season
with a thrilling, last second win.

First year Head Coach Ethel Allman
attributes the inconsistency in a regular
season play to a young team with a new
system and a new coach. "Our internal
strife was due to expectations between
coaches and players not being met. We are
a growing team and through the season we
showed progress," Allman asserted.

By the time UMass had reached the
first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament,
their season-long progress was obvious as
the Minutewomen downed the Lady Ben-
nies of St. Bonavenlure, 80-67. UMass
was on fire as four Minutewomen finished
in double figures and the team out-re-
bounded St. Bonaventure 51-36. UMass
had captured their first win in six tries at
the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

With spirits and morales soaring, the
Minutewomen traveled to St. Joseph's in
Philadelphia for the second round of the
Tournament. UMass lost to the Lady
Hawks twice in the regular season and
found that bad things happen in threes as
they bowed to St. Joseph's 67-43, ending
their quest for a Final Four bid.

The Minutewomen completed the sea-
son with an 11-18 record and were led by
co-captains, Tara Lewis and Beth Wilbur.
Lewis, the only senior on the team, was the
leading scorer and finished her college ca-
reer fifth on the all-time scoring list. She is
third on the all-time rebounding list.

Junior point guard Christen Zullo broke
the single-season assists record during the
last regular season game. Keyburn
McCusker was selected to the Atlantic 10
all-freshmen team and promises to give
the Minutewomen three solid seasons of
high performance.

According to Coach Allman: "UMass is
on its way to being a major contender in
the Atlantic 10."

In a sport like gymnastics, where indi-

liance on certain performers is inevitable.
Some of the gymnasts who were key play-
ers from the season's start were: Brian
Richman, Mike Gullicksen and Bart
Balocki.

But, Co-Captain John Eggers was
forced to sit out the season, and, before the
last meet of the season and the champion-
ships, Tim Myers injured his knee.

Overall, this season was one of growth
for the gymnasts, and, although the team
did not place as well as some had hoped,
there were many impressive and truly
noteworthy finishes by the Minutemen.

The women's gymnastics team experi-
enced a number of highs and lows this
season. The season jumped off to a terrific
start with the team's defeat of Navy by 5.9
points, but rapidly declined with five
straight losses. Three of these had a slight
fractional average of 1 .4 pts. After a dev-
astating loss to Springfield (by .15pts.),
the Minutewomen experienced a rebirth in
their next three meets. They ended the
season by breaking- the all-time UMass
scoring record and two records as a team.
Fortunately, the season's poor start didn't
prevent these gymnasts from picking
themselves up and performing to their
fullest.

Gorilla's Finish 10-3

By Susan M. Hope ■■■■■■ ••■'^-■-^

Fans of the University of Massachu-
setts' Men's Lacrosse team were provided
with another exciting season by the ag-
gressive gorillas.

Beginning and ending the regular season
with disappointing losses, the Gorillas
sandwiched ten straight wins between and
captured a sixth place USI LA (United
States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associa-
tion) ranking and a seventh place NCAA
ranking.

Opening the season with an unexpected
14-5 loss to Loyola, the Gorillas regrouped
and stormed into the second game with
high spirits and determination. Escaping
Cornell in a thrilling win which included
five overtimes, the Gorillas were prepared
to rip past their remaining regular season
opponents.

All went as planned as the Gorillas cap-
tured victories against their next nine op-
ponents, including 14 point triumphs
against New Hampshire, Dartmouth, and
Boston College.

Then, the bound Gorillas met up with
the top-ranked Orange Men of Syracuse
The Orange Men opened the game with
the first pair of goals, which UMass quick-
ly answered to bring the Gorillas in with
one. But then Syracuse retaliated and
from their on, it was all Orange. Syracuse
handed the Gorillas a devastating 23-8
loss, marking the second worst loss in 34
years. This defeat was also the second time
in UMass history that any team has scored
twent> or more goals against the Gorillas.

Dropping from fifth place in the
USILA ranking to sixth, the Gorillas met
up with revenge-seeking Cornell Universi-
ty in the first round of the NCAA champi-
onship chase. UMass, expecting to be in
the Final Four of the Tournament, was
stunned with a 13-11 defeat as Cornell
handed Umass a first round bye in the
Tournament.

Finishing with an impressive 10-3 re-
cord and the NEILA championship title,
the Gorillas, under the guidance of Head
Coach Dick Garber, were led on the field
by co-captains Glenn Stephens and Kelley
Carr.

Jim McAleavey provided the Gorillas
with 49 points (20 goals, 29 assists)
through the season. Scott Hiller was a
close second with 43 points (28 goals, 15
assists) and Kelley Carr added 39 points
(25 goals, 14 assists).

Gazelles Rise Above Record

*0-mM:-^y Ellen D. Goldberg

The University of Massachusetts wom-
en's lacrosse team ended their most diffi-
cult season 7-7-1. To most observers this
record only indicates a mediocre season.
But the Gazelles can present strong evi-
dence contrary to this point. The record
does not tell the true story of the Gazelles
topsy-turvey season.

The first and probably the most difficult
obstacle faced by the Gazelles was their
schedule, which, incidently, was the tough-
est in the country. Half of the teams that
UMass faced were ranked in the top ten of
the country at one time or another. Coach
Patti Bossio thinks this tough schedule
pushed the team into the HCAC tourna-
ment. According to Bossio, playing a
strong schedule exposes your strengths
and weaknesses. "In order to be the best,
you have to play the best," she said. The
Gazelles adhered to this philosophy when
they advanced to the final game in the
ECAC Tourney.

This year's roster also presented the Ga-
zelles with many and varied problems.
Two members of the team had never
played lacrosse in their life Michelle
Pytko, who finished the year as a starter
on defense, and Nancy O'Halloran ap-
proached this season without ever having
picked up a stick. The Gazelles also lost
two .All-Americans to graduation.

There is not any one factor that one can
pinpoint to explain why the Gazelles were
stopped dead in their tracks, while trying
to reach the National Tournament, but
turnovers certainly played a major part.
According to Bossio. "We turned the ball
over too many times. That's something we
did all year. We played best when we took
care of the ball. We did not play well when
we forced passes."

The Gazelles will lose five players to
graduation, all of which arc starters. The
defence is the main area where the Ga-
zelles will feel the loss. Defensive players
Sheila Phillips, co-captains Amy Robert-
son and Posy Seifert and goalie Pam Stone
will be sorely missed. The scoring attack
will especially feel the loss, with the gradu-
ation of Ginny Armstrong, who was the
Gazelle's second leading scorer this
season.

This year's season was a learning experi-
ence for all, namely Bossio, who was in her
first year. "I was constantly learning and I
really enjoyed it." she said.

The UMass Baseball team not only set a
new school record for most victories in a
season, but Head Coach Mike Stone and
the Minutemen also captured the New En-
gland Championship title.

Opening the season with a 4-0 run, the
Minutemen swung into first place in New
England with an impressive 33-14 record.
However, this only included a 9-7 Atlan-
tic-10 Conference record.

The Minutemen squeaked into the At-
lantic-10 playoffs late in the season by
sweeping a doubleheader against the Tem-
ple Owls, 5-0, 10-5. They joined Rutgers
University in representing the East Div-
sion in the playoffs in Boyertown, PA.

Advancing into the playoffs, the Min-
utemen crushed West Virginia 19-9 before
losing to Rutgers 1-10 in the second game.
UMass then demolished West Virginia
again 20-2 and gained revenge against
Rutgers in an 8-4 win in the fourth game.
Falling to a 2-2 playoff record, UMass
received a bye with a 5-8 loss to Rutgers,
blowing their chance for a tournament
championship and ending their season
with a final 36-16 record.

Rounding out the season, four Minute-
men were selected to the All New England
First team and two to the second team.
Chosen for the first team were: Gary DiS-
arcina, Dave Telgheder, Drew Comeau,
and Matt Sheran. Dean Borrelli and Steve
Kern were selected as second team
members.

Pitcher Steve Allen was selected as
team MVP, and Matt Sheran received the
Dennis Dellapiana Award for courage, de-
termination, and sportsmanship. Sheran
set a UMass record for most stolen bases
in a season (32) and in a career (72).

Allen and Comeau now share the
UMass career homerun record with 21
runs each.

defense."
- Head Coach Elaine Sortino

By Ellen D. Goldberg

The University of Massachusetts soft-
ball team finished their season with a 36-
16 record. They were winners of 16 of
their last 18 games, 11-1 in the Atlantic 10
and number-one ranked in the Atlantic -
10 championships. Their track record
would lead you to believe that the Mln-
utewomen would 'sail through the
preliminaries.

Just when the Minutewomen had their
heads in the clouds, the bottom all of a
sudden fell through. They barely got by
Rutgers University 2-1, 3-0. They were
then stopped dead in their tracks by Penn
State University, falling in two straight
games 3-1, 3-2. This was the first time in
three years that UMass had failed to win
the tourney.

The Minutewomen suffered through
bouts of fatigue all season, playing in nu-
merous extra inning games and double
headers due to rain delays and unsafe
playing conditions. Their impressive re-
cord is a tribute to their superior athletic
ability.

Numerous Minutewomen players were
highlighted for their individual achieve-
ments. Four players were selected to the
1987 All-Conference Team. They were:
Martha Jamieson, Traci Kennedy, Chris
Ciepela (all of whom were chosen for the
second straight year) and Barbara
Meehan.

The Union Program Council was founded
in 1977 with the help of Tom Waits in the
Fine Arts Center. This was the first of many
shows to take place over the next ten years
including such famous names as U2, the
Talking Heads, and Phil Collins.

The UPC is the largest student run concert
organization in the country. With members
coming from virtually every major, the orga-
nization owes a great deal of its success to the
dedication of those members. New members
are always welcome. Past members have gone
on to careers in the music industry due to
interest created within the organization.

Thanks to a funding increase, UPC has
been busier than ever this year, programming
1 1 shows in the first semester. UPC programs
shows in the Fine Arts Center, the Bluewall
Coffee House, and the Student Union Ball-
room. The group's final show, the Spring
Concert, takes place next to the campus
pond.

As a non-profit organization, UPC has at-
tempted to enrich the campus and Five Col-
lege community by programming a variety of
performers and musical types. UPC is very
proud of its history and looks forward to pro-
gramming with the continued support of the
University community.

The UPC for 1987-88 was headed by
Michael Worden, president; JoEllen
Saunders, vice-president; and Patricia O'Bri-
en, treasurer. Pictured below are: First row:

Lesbian Union/

by Carol Bodine

The Lesbian Union provides a safe,
social space for all lesbians and woman-
identified women. It also serves as a
resource center, supplying updated in-
formation in the format of posters and
pamphlets and listings of campus and
community events.

The primary goal of the Lesbian
Union is to address the needs, express
the concerns, and provide group sup-
port for lesbians in the UMass commu-
nity. This year the Union had office
space in 406G Student Union for wom-
en to use freely. There the Union held
weekly business meetings, organized
the showing of films such as "Desert
Hearts" and "Entre Nous", and held
rap groups.

During 1987-88, the LU co-spon-
sored, along with the LGBA and the
UMass Program for Lesbian, Gay, and
Bisexual Concerns, a slide show pre-
sented by Cathy Cade, a California-
based photographer. "The Subject is
Lesbians" featured images of lesbians
from diverse backrounds in a variety of
situations and roles. The LU co-spon-
sored the Women's Film Festival in
\^-'\' - March. It also participated in the Les-
■ /" '_\' - bian. Gay, Bisexual Awareness Week in
' April by operating a table of
information.

The future of the Union is devoted to
advancing the understanding of lesbi-
ans and women in society.

The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Coun-
seling Collective, located in 433 Student
Union, is a Registered Student Organiza-
tion, providing a unique service to the uni-
versity and the community. It offers free
counseling around issues of lesbian, gay,
and bisexual concern. Members are avail-
able in the office twelve hours a week for
personal discussion on a walk-in or ap-
pointment basis. They also counsel over
the phone. The concerns of the Counseling
Collective range from coming out as gays,
lesbians, or bisexuals, to dealing with a

The Juggling Club, assembled in No-
vember 1985, focuses on enhancing the
Art of Juggling, teaching people juggling
skills, and serving the community through
performances. Comprised of 30 members,
the club officers for 1987-88 were Bruce
Wisenburn, co-president; Adam Levine,
co-president; Jeremy Brown, vice-presi-
dent; Sean Kennan, treasurer; and Dennis
Chen, secretary.

This year, the Club brought several
famous jugglers to campus, including Hol-
ly Greeley, president of the International
Juggling Association, and Paul Rich-
mond, a professional juggler in the area.

The Club held weekly meetings on cam-
pus to exchange ideas, to practice new
techniques, and to teach juggling to any-
one who wanted to learn. The group
claimed to be able to "teach anyone how
to juggle in under half an hour." Juggling
teaches people to utilize their coordination
in ways they did not realize they were
capable.

Future plans for the Juggling Club are
directed toward a major International
Juggling Convention in November 1988.
Fantastic jugglers from around the world
will converge at UMass to teach and to
perform.

The Outing Club brings people together for good times and the opportunity to introduce
members to the great outdoors. Club trips range from a single day to several weeks, and from local
to cross country. Club members plan and lead trips in hiking, canoeing, caving, rock climbing,
winter mountaineering, snow shoeing, and cross-country skiing.

This year UMOC sponsored trips to the Everglades and Yellowstone National Park as well as
Spring Break caving trips to North Carolina and West Virginia. You do not have to be a member to
participate in club events, although income from membership dues helps support club activities.
The Outing Club provides activities for people of all levels of skill and maintains its own equipment,
which may be rented for private use.

The club also rents a cabin just outside the White Mountains in Bethlehem, N.H. that is available
to anyone affiliated with the university or other outing clubs. Over the February long weekend,
UMOC held its annual winter extravaganza, "Insanity VII," at the cabin. Participants enjoyed
cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and iceclimbing, among other winter activities. Photos on these
pages are of that trip.

This year's officers are Michael "Mickey" Ingles, president; Darci Dulaney, vice president;
Richard Ormond, secretary; and Maureen Shae, treasurer.

The Student Union Gallery, established in 1957, is the oldest art gallery at
UMass and the only one run entirely by students, independent of residential
area governments. The main focus of the gallery has traditionally been on
students' work with occasional shows by alumni or regional professional
artists. The aim of this year's director, however, has been to introduce the
university to a broader perspective on the contemporary art world. This has
been achieved through the programming of exhibitions by international,
national, and regional artists.

Opening receptions are now more popular than ever due to increased
publicity, live music, and refreshments. Despite the already impressive atten-
dance record, the staff continually strives to encourage a more vital use of
the gallery, not just as an exhibition space , but also as a forum for discussion
and critiques. In November 1987, English artist in residence, Cheryl Hamer
spoke with faculty and students and presented a slide show of her work at the
gallery.

Spring semester 1988 was marked by two important group exhibitions.
The first, in celebration of Black History Month, exposed the work of six
black artists, including Benny Andrews and Emilio Cruz. The second fea-
tured the work of six women artists, including Beatricia Sagar and Brigitte
Keller. The result was an exciting insight into the diversity and abundance of U'
contemporary women's art.

The 1987-1988 staff consisted of Helen Ratcliffe, director; Marcella van
Zanten, assistant director; Cari Bryn Cohen, Karen Lurie, and Jane Brady,
Gallery assistants.

As a club sport, the Fencing Club offers
the student body both practice time and
lessons for developing one's mastery of the
Art of Fencing. The club is open to any-
one. It meets daily at 3:30p.m. in Totman
Gymnasium to practice. For one desiring a
more strucured approach, they may enroll
in one of the physical education classes,
Fencing I or II, which the members also
teach. Instruction is available in three
weapons - foil, epee, and sabre.

Although the Fencing Club is not an
official intercollegiate team, it competes
against such school teams as Trinity,
Brown, and MIT. It also competes against
fellow clubs throughout New England.

For 1987-88, the club's officers were:
co-Presidents, Doug Howe and Jeff Bar-
ber; Treasurer, Lannae Long; and Secre-
tary, Jame Duda.

For nearly forty years, the Minuteman Marching
Band has provided entertainment at football games, pa-
rades, and indoor and outdoor music festivals here in
Amherst and all over the country.

Under the direction of George Parks, the 1987-88
membership boasted 240 undergraduates from all of the
university's academic divisions. Members attended daily
afternoon practices as well as painful 8 a.m. practices
every Saturday to be deemed " Power and Class of New
England". Rain, shine, snow, the band could be found
practicing out on the sports fields, in or around the Old
Chapel, or any large space available.

The band is comprised of several sections: wind instru-
ments, battery percussion, sideline percussion ensemble,
colorguard/flags, and colorguard/twirlers. There is also
a support group, the "band aids", who help carry props
and set up instruments. The selections of music touch on
everything from classical to movie scores to traditional
marches to rock-n-roll. One of this year's selections was
the " CanCan, " complete with CanCan dancers.

Some of the highlights of the 1987-88 season were the
UMMB's Third Annual Band Day and the Southern
Tour to the University of Delaware. Band Day featured
sixteen high school bands from all over the state in a
special half-time performance. The Southern Tour in-
cluded playing at the Delaware-Massachusetts footballl
game as well as performing a special concert in Potts-
town, Penn.

choreographed by co-captains Janet Kel-
ley, Gail Pagano, and Jennifer Ronan to
songs such as "Twist and Shouf'by the
Beatles.

Along with performing at home basket-
ball games, this year the Minutes partici-
pated in the homecoming parade and took
part in the university's tribute to Julius

If asked the purpose of their organi-
zation, members of the Student Note-
taking and Print Shop would probably
say to provide students and faculty with
quality printing services and thorough
lecture notes. Actually, it is a bit more
than that.

SNIPS, as it is most commonly
known, has undoubtedly prevented the
cums of a countless number of students
from plummeting to near oblivion.

Housed in their offices on the fourth
floor of the Student Union building are
notes from about 40 first-year, intro-
ductory courses. This year, the shop re-
ceived over 5,000 subscriptions to avail-
able notes.

Both students and faculty consider
the service invaluable. In fact, some
professors use the service as a supple-
ment to their classes, requiring students
to purchase copies of their lectures.

Next to the notetaking office is the
Print Shop. Here a staff of about 25
students produce flyers and advertise-
ments for RSO's and local businesses.
The center also offers low-cost copying
to students.

The University Democrats is probably one
of the least-known organizations on campus.
But, according to the group's co-president,
Jeff Cronin, they don't mind.

"We don't want to make noise, we want to
get results," he said.

Action is the group's middle name. This
year, for example, members of the organiza-
tion played a vital part behind the scenes on
the Rabinowitz/Silkoff campaign. Other
members were active in promoting the demo-
cratic candidates for president.

Although the group is not worried about its
virtual invisibility, members are devising new
strategies to increase the group's influence on
campus.

In upcoming semesters, the group plans to
put together a newspaper and become more
involved in local politics. Treasurer Jay Festa
said the group hopes to fill the six seats desig-
nated for students on the Amherst Town
Meeting.

The Marketing Club is open to all stu-
dents who want to learn more about mar-
keting tactics such as advertising or sales.
Through weekly meetings and special
guest lectures, the members become ex-
posed to this intriguing area of business.

In the fall. Proctor & Gamble spoke to
the club about careers in sales. Two 1987
UMASS graduates came with their divi-
sion manager to give the presentation.
Later that semester, club members learned
about product development and media
plans when Hershey demonstrated these
factors for their new candy bar, BarNone.

One evening in the spring, two advertis-
ing agencies presented their own personal
ideas about starting one's own agency. Ex-
ecutives from Arnold and Company and
Ingalls, Quinn, and Johnson provided the
members with very valuable information.
Another spring meeting included a lecture
from Anheuser-Busch about advertising
and sales.

Another aim of the Marketing Club was
to create a sense of unity among students
in marketing studies. To this aim, it held
socials both semesters and ended the year
with the annual Student/Faculty softball
game.

The officers for the Marketing Club for
1987-88 were Renee Kruger, Michelle
Blackadar, Helane Daniels, and Andy
Klepacki. The faculty advisor was Kath-
leen Debevec.

and academic aspects. It's principle objec-
tives are to confront and resolve the prob-
lems that the Latin Americans face on
campus. It does this through innumerable
activities such as vk'orkshops, movies, and
guest speakers who are presented during
the whole academic year.

For the fall semester, AHORA helped
sponsor and coordinate Carribbean Week.
In the spring, they participated in two cul-
tural awareness weeks, Latin American
Week and the first Puerto Rican Aware-
ness Week.

Operating out of the 406F of the Stu-
dent Union, the organization was man-
aged this year by more than ten active
members. The chief officers were Pablo
Penaloza, president, Liza Gallardo, secre-
tary, and Benito Gutierrez, treasurer.

The UMPSO Rescues Witchcraft From The Dark Ages Of Public
Misperception While Exploring New Horizons In Worship

Centuries after the frenzied persecution of their reli-
gion, UMass witches are proudly emerging from a
"broom closet" of media distortion to assert the true
principles of the Wiccan faith.

"A lot of people hear 'witch' and think of those Disney
crones with long hats and pointy noses who run around
burning babies and cursing people" explains Alyxx Bergler,
co-president of UMass' newly-formed Pagan Student Orga-
nization. "They pull a cross out and are shocked if you don't
vanish in a puff of smoke," jokes the energetic brunette.

Indeed, real witches bare no resemblance at all to these
snaggle-toothed, Satan-worshipping pretenders to the Wic-
can name, with Bergler defining true witches as "harmonic .
. . nature-oriented individuals who revere the divine as
having two facets, both male and female . . . the two basic
architects of life."

According to Bergler, Wicca itself is only one of a larger
subset of nature-based religions (such as Druidism and
Native American Spirituality) that fall under the umbrella-
heading of Paganism; Wicca being the most flamboyant of
the trio with its emphasis on astrology, herblore, tarot read-
ing and magic ("what others call prayer or ESP").

The UMPSO's official pamphlet further underscores the
luminous benevolence behind Wicca's 40,000 year old phi-
losophies, extolling a God and (slightly superior) Goddess

who are both "part of the one Divine force which flows
through the entire universe. We recognize the entire world:
people, animals, plants, earth, and rocks as filled with this
life force. The Gods are Divine, Humankind is Divine, the
Earth is Divine. We are all holy and deserving of respect."

Yet, despite the noble, nature-loving foundation of their
philosophies, Wiccans have been continually assailed by
twisted misrepresentations of their faith. Modern horror
fiction, the King James Bible ("Thou shalt not suffer a
witch to live"), and even films like The Witches of Eastwick
and The Wizard of Oz have created a "void of understand-
ing" that Bergler's co-president, Lewis Stead, felt an orga-
nization like the UMPSO could finally dispel.

"I saw the need for a network organization," explains the
Lennon-tressed, bespectacled Stead. "We knew there were
other pagans out there . . ^ people frustrated with things
they didn't understand" and unable to receive the guidance
and information available to other faiths.

Stead himself was first awakened to the principles of
Wicca by the fanciful tales of witch/ author Marion Zim-
mer Bradley, while Bergler's farm upbringing ignited her
own spiritual curiousity with the nagging observance that
"men didn't give birth, so how did a man give birth to the
world?"

176/ UMass Pagan Student Organization

Although both Bergler and Stead fine-tuned their beliefs
through reading New Age literature and occult fiction,
Bergler feels the current New Age philosophy as a whole is
"just another form of packaged spirituality where people
give thousands of dollars to gather with a guru . . . (but) . . .
it has made it easier to be an open witch and people don't
seem to take witchcraft with such a nasty taste in their
mouths."

Indeed, with a firm and faithful core of 25 students and
Amherst residents alike, the UMPSO's weekly Sunday
night meetings have already generated a steady stream of
non-pagan spectators ready to embrace this revived faith . .
. although not always for the right reasons.

"This is not some excuse for an orgy," asserts Stead, who
cautions "Our rituals have meaning to us. If that's what you
want to do, get some booze and some friends together and
have an orgy . . . that's not Witchcraft."

Indeed, the Wiccan Rede "An it harm none, do what you
will" (in layman's terms: don't harm anyone), figures prom-
inently in everything the UMPSO has endeavored this year,
whether lending their support to Greenpeace's wildlife pres-
ervation campaigns or leading their own peaceful May 16
protest against the university's use of Chemlawn herb/
pesticide on the Campus Pond.

hurting yourself," observes Bergler, who is all in favor of
"long walks in the woods" to bring one "closer to the
Divine."

Unlike other religions where structured buildings are the
focus of spiritual harmony, the Wiccan's cathedral is the
whole of nature itself, and thus must be shielded from
exploitation and impurity in the same way a priest or rabbi
would safeguard his faith's holy relics.

"A concrete building is very dead," elaborates Bergler,
"but rocks are very much alive . . . very ancient. They're the
bones of the earth . . . (and) ... if you have the awareness
that 'I'm a part of all this, it will reflect how you relate to
the world."

"Nothing is non-connected" adds Stead, while Bergler
echoes "Plastic manifests itself in this table. Plastic comes
from petroleum and petroleum comes from dead dinosaurs .
. . it's an infinite cycle."

One cycle the UMPSO has just entered is that of fun-
draising, as Stead plans a Halloween "tarot-reading con-
vention" and a possible visit by Salem witch Laurie Cabot
to improve Wiccan visibility while "promoting a better
image" for his organization.

The Animal Rights Coalition works toward a
world in which all species, human and non-human
alike, can live out their natural lives unmolested by
humankind. Our primary goal is to expose to the
campus community the mass exploitation of ani-
mals in all its forms, and to show students how they
can eliminate animal suffering in their own daily
lives. We approach this goal in many ways.

We have weekly information tables on the Cam-
pus Center Concourse and hold occasional evening
showings of The Animals Film, the most compre-
hensive documentary on animal exploitation. We
sponsor ads on PVTA buses, post flyers, and write
to newspapers and magazines to alert the public of
animal rights issues. We place Public Service An-
nouncements at radio stations and sponsor Animal
Rights, a series of shows on Community Access
Television.

Nationwide, we join the humane community in
supporting annual events such as The Great Amer-
ican Meatout, World Laboratory Animals Day,
and World Farm Animals Day, educating people
about the health benefits and satisfaction of a cru-
elty-free, vegetarian lifestyle and the alternatives
to vivisection as they develop.

To expose the deprived lifestyle of performing
animals, members of the Animal Rights Coalition
dressed as clowns and animals and leafletted a
circus at the Fine Arts Center. We picketed the
gillette Headquarters in Boston for their use of the
brutal LD 50 and Draize tests, and, in West
Springfield, we picketed the first (and, we hope.

last) annual Shriners' Rodeo. We protested sport
hunting on Yale University's forest grounds, and ral-
lied in downtown Springfield about the cruelty behind
the fur industry. Most of these events received heavy
newspaper and television coverage, bringing our mes-
sage to thousands of people.

This year, members also lobbied on Capital Hill
and testified at state hearings in Boston. We were area
coordinators for the successful Massachusetts Hu-
mane Farm Animal Referendum initiative, sponsored
by the Coalition to End Animal Suffereing and Ex-
ploitation in Boston. As a result, a question will ap-
pear on the next state ballot to protect veal calves and
other severely abused farm animals. Also a group
meets weekly to write our congressional representa-
tives about pending legislation affecting animals.

Members often do outstanding work individually.
Two members attended a legislative workshop in
Washington D.C., another raised money in the Walk-
a-thon for Alternatives to Animal Research in New
York City, and yet another member spent a month at
a wildlife rehabilitation center, gaining hands-on ex-
perience with many species.

The Animal Rights Coalition is a democratic orga-
nization welcoming members at all levels of commit-
ment. Stop by our office at Student Union 306.

The Student Government Association
exists to promote student interests at all
the levels where University policy is made.
From the smallest house council to the
infamous Student Senate, elected repre-
sentatives work to make the quality of life
at UMASS better. The Senate's commit-
tees provide advocacy on academic, fee,
and tuition issues and also allocate hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars for student
organizations and special events.

As I reflect on my years in student gov-
ernment, I'm struck by the fact that the
Senate has spent more time on internal
political conflicts than University issues.
Some senators do, however, research the
charges on your bill, lobby legislators in
Boston, and process hundreds of funding
requests. These people don't grandstand
during the weekly senate meetings; they
are involved in public service, not self-
aggrandizement.

SGA controversies can have two affects:
they can alienate you or inspire you to
create change. Change can come through
a ballot box or a Senate seat. It is easy to
get discouraged, especially when elected
choices for the SGA presidency are
blocked from taking office. Can you really
believe that your vote mattered? We all
must persist.

This year's President was Joe Demeo.
Bob Griffin presided over the Senate and
represented it to the administration as the
Speaker. Katherine Strickland kept the
fiscal house in order during her two con-
secutive terms as Treasurer. I was honored
to serve as your Student Trustee.

The Men's Volleyball Club finished its
Spring 1988 season with a strong 37-9 record
and a fifth place finish at the Club National
Championships at the University of Mary-
land. In their third season of NCAA play, the
Minutemen finished first in New England by
not losing a single match in their division.

The Men's Volleyball Club actually con-
sists of two teams, an A squad and a B squad,
with a total of thirty players on both squads.
The A squad, nick-named the "Pack-At-
tack", travelled throughout the east coast this
season taking on such NCAA power-houses
as the U.S. Naval Academy, George Mason
University, New Jersey Institute of Technol-
ogy, and Rutgers University, whose varsity
program was ranked as high as fifth in the
country among other varsity programs such
as use, UCLA, and Pepperdine.

The A squad will lose only one of its start-
ing six to graduation this year. Roger Chap-
man will be greatly missed by the club after
putting in four years as one of the squad's top
players. The Minutemen look forward to an-
other good season next year. The A squad
hopes to improve its showing at Club Nation-
als next year which will be held at the Univer-
sity of California at Berkley.

comer to the Minutemen this season, at-

In what maybe one of the world's most
demanding yet graceful sports, an ultimate
frisbee player must perform with the speed
and agility of a basketball player and the
determination of a soccer goalie to dive
instinctively for an errant pass.

The University of Massachusetts ulti-
mate frisbee team, Zoo Disc, has been a
powerhouse in collegiate ultimate for the
last ten years, in a sport that is itself hardly
twenty years old.

Fall -1987 was a great season for Zoo
Disc. The team finished seventh in the
Northeast Open Regionals, defeating top
ranked college teams such as Wesleyan
and the University of Vermont to advance
within two games of the Club Nationals, a
feat no college team has yet performed.

This Spring, Zoo Disc traveled every
weekend to tournaments throughout the
Northeast, finishing strongly in all of them
and taking first place at the Hampshire
College tournament early in the season.
The sweat, dirt, broken fingers, almost
broken noses, blisters, blood, and frustra-
tions of daily practices and rigorous tour-
naments all paid off for Zoo Disc when
they placed third at the Regional Champi-
onships, qualifying for the National Colle-
giate Championships at the University of
California at Santa Barbara. Zoo Disc did
not repeat their 1986 first place finish at
Nationals this year but the spirit, talent,
and dedication of the team virtually as-
sures Zoo Disc will strive in earnest for the
Collegiate National title next year.

Co-captians Bill Stewart and Mike Equi
are the only remaining veterans of the
1986 Championship team, but they are
hardly the only experienced players on
Zoo Disc.

The Campus Center/ Student Union
Board of Governors represents all 25,000
students in the operations and policies of
the Campus Center complex. Since it was
formed 17 years ago, the BOG has been
the primary voice in the student govern-
ment responsible for advising the Campus
Center management on student needs and
concerns. These interests include the bal-
ance of services provided in the complex,
programming, and the revenue that the
complex generates. The BOG allocates
student office space, administers the vend-
ing program on the concourse, and pro-
vides funds for: UPC, UVC, Student
Union Art Gallery, and Student Union
Craftshop.

The BOG is comprised of 32 voting
members and 9 coordinators. The officers
for this year were: Mark Friedman, chair-
person, Carol Harlow, vice-chairperson,
and Dan Collins, treasurer. Notable se-
niors included: Paul Coradeschi, Rebecca
Lauterbach, Michael Ross, Dean Richard,
Jeff Groux, finance coordinator, and Ra-
mon Olivencia.

The B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation pro-
vides for the spiritual, cultural, and emo-
tional needs of the local 3500 member
Jewish community. Operating out of 302
of the Student Union, Hillel holds weekly
meetings and daily office hours to plan
events, to encourage exchange, and to just
be there.

The fall semester proved a great success
in programming for co-presidents Sandor
Goldstein and Alan Sperstein. Hillel spon-
sored lectures by Dan Futterman, Harold
Kushner, and Amoz Oz. It provided mem-
bers with a trip to Cambridge for the Sim-
chat Torah celebration, complete with
"Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Fac-
tory". At the end of the semester it held
quite a successful fundraiser, a two-day
Mini Mall in the Student Union Ballroom.

The next semester was rich in Jewish
culture as it opened with the 12th Annual
Jewish Arts Festival featuring renowned
Klezmer clarinetist Giora Feldman, au-
thor Julius Lester, and Tslila and Dancers.
Another faction of Hillel went to Wash-
ington, D.C. for the annual Soviet Jewry
Lobby. In April it sponsored Holocaust
Memorial Week, headed by Eric Traiger.
This provided the entire student body with
the opportunity to hear speakers such as
Leon Bass and Aharon Appelfeld, and lis-
ten to the beautiful voice of Rosalie Gernt
and friends.

This year Rakhmiel Peltz and Rabbi
Mark Finkel joined the staff as Rabbi Saul
Perlmutter spent the year on sabbatical in
Jerusalem. Yehudit Heller became the
Acting Director and Melinda Williams re-
turned for a second year as Administrative
Assistant. Hillel has many new faces to
help continue to grow and to make a posi-
tive Jewish presence felt on campus.

The year is 1964. Science fiction is an
up- and coming form of literature around
the country. Enterprising and interested
students at the university decide that sci-
.\^ ence fiction lovers on campus need some-
place to meet, read, and discuss this popu-
lar topic. With the help of famous science
fiction writer Isaac Asimov, the Science
Fiction Club was born.

Located in the basement of the Campus
Center, the Science Fiction Club is home
to about 6,000 books, and donations are
always welcome. There are about 100 ac-
tive members, and non-members can also
be found in the club enjoying the extensive
library. The club sponsors a number of
activities throughout the year, including
movie marathons and a two-day conven-
tion every fall. The club also produces a
semi-annual magazine entitled Betelgeuse,
consisting of fiction, articles, artwork, po-
etry, and essays. In the past, the club has
been involved in a project called Audible ['
Fiction, in which club members taped sci-
ence fiction and fantasy books for the
blind.

The Collegian is the largest college daily
in New England, and it is financially inde-
pendent from the Student Activities Trust
Fund. All revenue is generated from
advertising.

Most regular staff members write one
article a day, if not more. But this doesn't
mean we don't have fun at the Collegian.
People are always laughing, because it is
the only way to beat the stress. Most days
are ten to 12 hours long, longer if you work
on night graphics, too. Many times the
paper isn't "put to bed" until one or two in
the morning.

Spring semester was rough this year be-
cause of the high staff turnover, but the
paper was still larger than usual. Editor-
in-chief this fall was Craig Sandler; the job
was taken over by Pedro Pereira in the
spring.

This semester the Collegian also had the
new addition of a Women's Issues Page.
Once a week, there was a page devoted to
the concerns of the women and men about
women on the UMass campus and in the
general community.

The Collegian offers many opportuni-
ties for people who are willing to work
hard.

The many messages and signs
outside 319 Student Union are in-
dicative of the energy and friendly
atmosphere within. This is the
home of the Bike Co-op.

The fundamental purpose of
the Bike Co-op is to offer a tool
room for anyone who wants to re-
pair their bike. There are special
tools to tune wheels or grease
gears that most people do not own
themselves. The Bike co-op mem-
bers who staff the tool room dur-
ing its office hours are very
knowledgeable about bike repair.
Although they may teach you how
to repair your bike and help you
along the way, .the Bike Co-op
crew do not repair it for you.

The Bike Co-op also offers a

salesroom for replacement parts

■/j^^ at competitive prices. The Co-op

also held several workshops, enti-
tled "Take Back The Bike", to
teach women how to do minor bi-
cycle repairs themselves.

afternoon. With less than fifteen
minutes until your next class,
there's no time for the D.C. and
the line at the Hatch is at least
fifteen minutes long by itself.
Where do you go for a quick
lunch? The People's Market!

Formed in the early 1970's, the
People's Market is a student run
and governed co-op which pro-
vides the UMass community with
low-cost, nutritious foods. In ad-
dition to delicious fresh bagels,
customers can take their pick
from fresh fruits and vegetables,
yogurt, juices, cheese, ice cream,
and several varieties of gourmet
coffee.

The People's Market is a great
place to browse in between class-
es-the friendly atmosphere, cheer-
ful employees, and excellent mu-
sical selection are ideal relief
from the hectic University day.

by Scott Richter were dis-

Richter's painted wall sculp-

from November 16, 1987 - De-

tions are always human. They

tty^ ontemporary American Collage: 1960
>-'- 1986," a travelling exhibition which
began a national tour in January 1988, was
shown at Herter Art Gallery from Novem-
ber 9 - December 11, 1987. The exhibition
featured 55 works by 42 artists, including
such artists as Robert Motherwell, Lee
Krasner, Tom Wesselmann, and Andy
Warhol, as well as younger arists such as
Buster Cleveland and Brett De Palma.
The exhibition provided a survey of the
limitless variety of forms that collage has
developed over the past century.

In a broader historical sense, the exhibi-
tion helped underscore the significance
that the medium collage has come to enjoy
in american art. The uniqueness of collage
supports American art's drive toward ab-
straction, as well as the drive toward reali-
ty that has determined not only the use of
collage, but the course of contemporary
American art.

The Student Union Art Gal-
lery presented an exhibi-
tion from February 8th-26th,
in celebration of Black History
Month.

Emilio Cruz, an established
prolific artist of national ac-
claim with work in many public
collections, painted The Pale
Dog Study (pictured at right).
Cruz grew up in Harlem and
the Bronx during the 1950's
and currently lives in Brooklyn.
His painting style, character-
ized by sketchy lines and loose
color masses, are testimony to
the influences of the "New
York School" and "figurative
expressionism" of the fifties.
The subject matter reveals his
ongoing obsession with images
from mythology and religious
icons, mingled with his own
subconscious.

Romare Bearden's work Au-
tumn of the Red Hat {far

porary American Collage;
1960 - 1986" exhibit. Bear-
den's works overstep the tradi-
tional limitations of presenta-
tion and exert a sense of high
artistic sophistication. There is
a formal strength and author-
ity in his visions that is never
oversimplified or overstressed.
His images transcend conven-
tion and explore routes and di-
rections that establish new
realms of penetrating reality.

Fiddling Groucho, a work by
Brett DePalma, (at left) was
also a part of the "Contempo-
rary American Collage: 1960 -
1986" exhibit. Extensive use of
collage techniques has played a
prominant role in the paintings
of DePalma. Drawing his inspi-
ration from media and cultural
stereotypes, he presents moral-
izing messages that use allego-
ry and metaphor as weapons
with which to tackle society's
shortcomings.

rawing can be an intimate

ed a collaberative exhibit
of BFA theses, on May 5. The
poignant work of these four
artists spanned such contempo-
rary and controversial issues as
the grim life of the homeless to
the necessary recognition of in-
spirational achievements by
women. This show was actually
two in one and was split be-
tween Wheeler Gallery and the

tion of the two. Isabel Perkins
is interested in the influence
and effect architecture has on
itself. Figures are also incorpo-
rated into these pieces. Diane
Robinson's work deals with
feelings of isolation, loneliness
and depression. Her observa-
tion of Manhattan's Lower
East Side helped to create the
sentiment of isolation she por-
trays here. Lisa White exhibits
work that focuses on the inspi-
rational women whose achieve-
ments have influenced her life.

rjihe Theater Department
1 opened its season with
William Shakespeare's "Mea-
sure for Measure" on October
22-24 and 28-31.

In "Measure for Measure",
a young woman must weigh
moral and spiritual compro-
mise against family honor as
she fights for the life of her
brother, condemned to death
for having acted in obedience
to his desires. The play holds
up a mirror to the laws that
govern human nature and civil
conduct.

Director Edward Golden, a
professor of theater, says that
"this play asks a number of vi-
tal questions about human in-
teraction and morality without
sentimentality. It poses ques-
tions about the limits of com-
passion, not only for others but
for ourselves. One major ques-
tion posed is 'what is justice?'
Is it the letter of the law or is it
justice administered in respect
to human beings who make ter-
rible mistakes and cause real
pain to real people?"

TT he Fine Arts Center presented the
national touring production of "Sin-
gin' in the Rain" on March 15th in the
Concert Hall. Like the classic 1952 MGM
film, "Singin' in the Rain" contains a col-
lection of memorable songs which include
"You are My Lucky Star," "You Were
Meant For Me," "Good Mornin'," "Make
'em Laugh," and the title song "Singin' in
the Rain". The lighthearted book was
written by Tony Award winners Betty
Comden and Adolph Green, who also
wrote the Film's original screenplay. "Sin-
gin' in the Rain", (pictured at left) is set in
the wacky world of Hollywood in the
1920's. Don Lockwood, Hollywood's top
leading man, and Lina Lamont, the queen
of the silver screen, are forced to appear in
a talking picture during a frantic transi-
tion from silent films. However, the lovely
Lina has a shrill voice as irritating as fin-
gernails scraping across a blackboard.

with) and Cosmo Brown come to the res-
cue so the show can go on.

A festival ofclassical
Japanese dance called

at the Fine Arts Center Con-
cert Hall on April 22. Taken
from the Kabuki tradition, the
Nagoya Odori company con-
sists of twelve dancers, fifteen
musicians and ten stagehands
(who appear on stage during
the performance). The flam-
boyant performance is en-
hanced by the use of elaborate
traditional costumes, makeup

Nagoya Odori (to the left),
is performed by the Nishikawa
Troupe of Japanese Dance, es-
tablished 220 years ago and
now under the leadership of
Ukon Nishikawa, the third di-
rector. "Odori" is dance that
shares the origins and history
of "Kabuki" - distinctive the-
ater depicting the tragedy and
comedy of life; "Noh" - formal
masked drama; "Kyogen" -
Comedy; and "Bunraku" -

The Perils And Peaks Of UPC;

After 10 Years, Still The Cutting Edge
Of Campus Entertainment

By Jotin M. Dolierty

Photo by Marianne Turley

Above: Members of UPC flash their pearly whites for posterity.

SO you want to be a rock'n roll promoter, huh? Let's face it,
putting on a contemporary musical concert is not nearly as
easy or as infectiously exuberant as Spanky, Alfalfa and
Darla's soapbox singalongs (from countless "Our Gang" epi-
sodes) would suggest. Orchestrating all the seductive glitter and
galvanizing grooves of a rock concert is an often perilous and
tiresome undertaking, yet UMass' Union Program Council has
made it look like child's play for over ten years.

One of the largest and most respected college organizations of
its kind, UPC has brought a funky, freewheeling edge to the
UMass entertainment horizon, launching such once-glittering
hopefuls as U2, INXS, Talking Heads, Joan Armatrading, Elvis
Costello, and the Psychedelic Furs into striking orbits within the
contemporary rock stratosphere. Now celebrating its tenth anni-
versary as the fearlessly eclectic, progressive pioneer in campus
concert production, the current UPC staff recently reminisced
about the frequently transcendent and sometimes terrible perfor-
mances of days gone by, while training a playfully irreverant eye
on concerts to come.

While citing UPC as an "excellent learning opportunity for
students and a nice stepping stone into the music industry," UPC
Business Manager Patty O'Brien is riot exagerrating when she

describes the organization's recent spring concert as "a huge . . .
gargantuan undertaking by all the people involved. Everything is
tenfold. Whereas smaller concerts need minimal security, you
need 10 or 20 police officers here . . . (plus) ... 130 student
security personnel, 40 stagehands, 40 hospitality workers, and 5
promotional people. In addition, we have to set up the entire
venue, building the stage and walls, not to mention checking the
electricity. You just tend to take all these things for granted."

Yet, after 5 months of intense planning, precise schedule ma-
nipulation, and $50,000 worth of contracting commitments, the
1988 spring concert was nearly felled by two calamities: the
threatened protest riots against Chancellor Joseph Duffey's
stricter alcohol policies, and the delayed delivery of the concert
roof.

According to O'Brien, "We were really caught in the middle of
the alcohol controversy, so we decided to write a letter to the
Collegian urging people that if they wanted to protest then to do
do so in a responsible manner. We were quite clear that the threat
of cancellation was in their hands. We were really scared, espe-
cially after their first protest. I think they wanted everybody to
join in, 'display chaos,' and really make Duffey afraid. If they had
actually followed through with their plans, the consequences

would have been worse than the alcohol policy.

According to O'Brien, what these protesters failed to realize
was that "there aren't just people out there who want to get
trashed. (The protesters) wanted all hell to break loose at the
concert so that we'd be forced to call in the National Guard. In
the end, it rained, and they just melted. They were into (asserting
their stance) only if they could have a good time doing it, but
once there was a problem with the party scene, they weren't going
to protest."

Although the alcohol incident proved only a minor distraction
to the festive proceedings, an animated O'Brien vividly recalls the
terror that followed the concert's next dilemna.

"We had originally contracted for the whole stage setup to be
completed by Friday, May 6," relates O'Brien with dramatic
calm. "But two days before the concert we got a call saying 'We
can't get the roof to you 'til 10 o'clock Saturday night! Well, we
were figuring out how much prep time the roof would need when
we got another call (from the rental agency) saying they couldn't
get us the roof until 2 o'clock Sunday morning . . . That only left
us 4 hours to install the roof before the sound crew was to arrive."

This sudden snafu forced UPC stage crews to work around the
clock Saturday night and into Sunday morning trying to erect a
roof which, if unprovided, would have given the contracted bands
valid cause to cancel their performances while still receiving pay.

"Contractually, we could have sued someone and probably
would have," adds UPC Talent Coordinator Michael Warden
about the potentially fatal delay. "If that concert was cancelled.

we'd really have had to call in the National Guard to take care of
the 16 million people rioting outside."

Although Warden feels this spring's UPC extravaganza even-
tually proved itself "the most memorable . . . and best pond
concert ever," he is just as quick to add performances by Paul
Young, Morris Day, UB40 and INXS to his list of recent sizzling
UMass debuts.

"But, of all the FAC shows I've seen," raves Warden "the
Violent Femmes was the best. It just fit this area so well because a
strong cult interest was tapped. More students seemed to know
about them here then on other campuses and they seemed like the
right band at the right time. Our 750 room hall sold out in 4 hours
with just 3 ticket outlets."

Similarly transcendant was the 1982 debut of a then little-
known Irish band named U2, whose Bowker auditorium debut
sold out in two days and evoked "an incredible (audience) re-
sponse" according to Warden.

"Soon after they played here," adds Warden" "reporters from
Rolling Stone were saying that they'd be the next big thing . . .
and they were."

Of UPC's remarkable track record of launching such eclectic
and ferociously innovative bands as The Replacements, Husker
Du and R.E.M., Warden simply explains "We catch people on
the breaking edge. In fact, most people who the (UMass) audi-
ence want to see again are popular acts caught right before they
broke, only now they've moved past us."

Some big name performers who can keep on going as far as
UPC is concerned include the Boomtown Rats (who, according
to Warden, "showed up with a roadcase that turned out to be a
portabar and got so drunk they almost couldn't play") as well as

scat master Al Jarreau, who proved especially demanding to his
host/caterer Patty O'Brien.

"Al Jarreau drove me crazy," laughs a now-healed O'Brien
"what with all his macrobiotic food and red snapper fish. We had
to provide him with beans that had been soaked in herbs for 24
hours and baked for 10 hours or he wouldn't eat. What got me
was that he was so conscious of what he was eating yet you'd turn
around and he'd be smoking cigarettes and drinking
champagne."

Similarly, minor league rock screecher Simon F's stage name
almost became "Simian" after what O'Brien terms an "obnox-
ious, drooling and spitting" display as Paul Young's opening act,
while she says the British quartet The Alarm will never be asked
back "unless they get a new manager. He was a real jerk and
thought he was in total charge. He even wanted payment right
after the band's performance."

The sweepingly popular cult group The Grateful Dead is an-
other band that will probably never find its way back to UMass in
this lifetime as a result of a 1979 appearance that brought 30,000
Hell's Angels swarming over the campus. "The town of Hadley
refuses to let them play here," explains Warden. "They're not
ready for another 30,000 bikers passing through their town."

Yet, for all the controversial, problematic acts that will cer-
tainly not appear again, there are many more aspiring talents who
probably won't be seen at all. As Warden relates: "There are a lot
of problems with immigration, especially since the newer laws.
You have to be a relatively well-known band before they can give
you visas and let you tour, and it's up to literally two people to
figure out (which foreign bands) have the exposure and can
generate interest to sustain a tour."

According to Warden, the quirkily engaging British duo Com-

munards were prevented from performing at UMass because
immigration officials felt they lacked such visa-earning "star"
quality, while formative appearances by such recent musical sen-
sations as smooth funkster Terence Trent D'Arby and Irish rock-
stress Sinead O'Connor all fell prey to last-minute scheduling
demons.

Yet, despite the frequent frustrations both behind and within
the college music scene, O'Brien (whose own fond memories
include organizing a birthday bash for Morris Day, chatting with
Jane Siberry over tofu dogs, and cooking home-made lasagna for
the Violent Femmes) feels her own UPC odyssey has "prepared
me for everything. I've learned more here in the last year than I
could've learned in any classroom."

Likewise, Warden has parlayed his own notoriety as UPC
talent coordinator into a promising career as a freelance stage-
hand and sound engineer, joking "1 came to this university to get
an education, not take classes. The UPC experience is more
important to me. Besides, I seem to know more (about stage
production) than my Arts Management instructor."

And the beat goes on . . .

T he University Dancers
performed a stylishly var-
ied exhibition at Bowker Audi-
torium on Dec. 3 and 4. The
program included ballet, con-
temporary and jazz works ar-
ranged to a wide spectrum of
musical styles. It demonstrated
the versatility of the student
performers who each danced in
two or more pieces, often of
different styles.

"Jamming" (photos at left)
was a new jazz piece by Rich-
ard Jones. The cast of six
danced to Charlie Parker and
Count Basic music with evi-
dent enjoyment. The vigorous
and quick-changing patterns
were well served by costumes
that were designed by Deborah
Houlberg and Sheryl Holmes.

arth Pagan's Bucket Dance Theatre
(right) performed at Bowker Audito-
rium on Feb. 6. Based in Rochester, New
York, the Bucket Dance Theatre was
founded by Fagan, (who is considered to
be one of the most original forces in Amer-
ican dance today) in 1970. Incorporating
movement from the Graham technique,
African and Caribbean dance, disco, bal-
letic speed, and mimetic gesture, Fagan
developed a style of dance uniquely his
own. Bucket technique is proud and self-
expressive, with erect poses but incredibly
flexible torsos. Fagan explains his compa-
ny this way: "Dancers to me are thorough-
breds of the performing arts. They have to
be in control of the physical and the intel-
lectual, the philosophical and the dramat-
ic, the spacial and the musical." The com-
pany of twelve dancers performed works
choreographed by Fagan himself, and the
performance was part of Arts America
'88, a mini-festival highlighting American
performing artists.

■T he Dance Department
presented the BFA Con-
cert in Bowker Auditorium
from April 15 to April 17. The
exhibition featured dancing by
students and guests which was
choreographed entirely by
members of the UMass facul-
ty. Each part of the program
began with a lyrical ballet, cho-
reographed by Shirly Scheer.
Her choreography successfully
captured the harmonious hesi-
tation of the Debussy music.
Richard Jones' distinct indi-
viduality was represented in his
three pieces: "Deux Amis" de-
picted a homosexual friendship
in sensitive terms, "Brubeck,"
inspired by Dave Brubeck's
jazz, was a cheerful piece with
clear spatial designs, and "Bo-
lero" (right) was a beautifully
constructed piece which began
with a stunning pyramid effect.
Andrea Watkins was also rep-
resented by "Opened Windb-
low" and Mary Patton by
"Curving of Lines."

"T he Finnish National Op-
era Ballet performed at
the Fine Arts Center Concert
Hall on April 4. The dancers
performed "La Fille Mai Gar-
dee", a full-length ballet in two
acts with choreography by
Heinz Spoerli and music by
L.J.F. Herold, J.W. Hertel,
and Jean-Michel Damase. "La
Fille Mai Gardee" (translated
to mean The Ill-Guarded
Daughter) is the story of a
young girl who finds her true
love despite the protestations
of her mother, who has a dif-
ferent suitor in mind.

The Finnish Ballet was
founded in 1921 as ballet of the
Finnish National Opera, but it
soon developed as the Finnish
National Ballet in its own
right. The cornerstone of the
company's repertoire has been
the ballets of the Petipa School
and almost all of the shorter
works of Fokine. The members
of the company are specially
selected for their artistic excel-
lence and truly comprise one of
Finland's great natural
treasures.

,_ he famed Cleveland Quar-
1 tet were joined by their
young proteges The Meliora
Quartet at a concert on Octo-
ber 25th, in Bowker Auditori-
um. The Cleveland Quartet
(pictured at right) is interna-
tionally recognized as one of
the great string quartets of our
time. Playing on a matched set
of Stradivarius instruments,

they have toured the world ex-
tensively, performing on five
continents; appeared at the
White House for a Presidential
inaugural concert; and were
the first classical artists ever to
perform on the Grammy
Awards telecast. They are on
the faculty of the Eastman
School of Music and record for
RCA.

Winner of 1983 Cleveland
Quartet Competition at the
Eastman School or Music, the
Meliors Quartet studied with
the Cleveland Quartet. In
1984, the Quartet won both the
Fischoff and Coleman Nation-
al Chamber Music Competi-
tions and in 1985 received the

the New York Daily News.

Conceived and directed by
Larry Gallagher, BeeJiive (which
was performed at the Fine Arts

talgic tribute to the girl groups
and the great female singers of
the 60's, featuring 40 top songs
from the period. The stage be-
comes a huge steel-blue juke-
box out of which pours such
oldies as "Where the Boys
Are", "My Boyfriend's Back",
"Sweet Talkin' Guy", and
"The Name Game."

The Los Angeles-based Jazz Tap En-
semble performed at the University
of Massachusetts Fine Arts Center Con-
cert Hall on April 25.

Founded in 1979 by artistic director
Lynn Dalley, the Jazz Tap Ensemble
(shown at right) concerns itself with
rhythm, dancing, music and
improvisations.

The Company is made up of six per-
formers, three dancers and three musi-
cians, all virtuosi in their respective areas.
Working both individually and collabora-
tively, each member creates original com-
positions inspired by the great traditions of
jazz music and tap dancing. In its dedica-
tion to the continued vitality of these con-
temporary American art forms, the En-
semble brings together a wide variety of
influence from the worlds of music and
dance.

Veteran hoofer Jimmy Slyde performed
as quest artist with the Jazz Tap Ensem-
ble, replacing ailing "Honi" Coles. Jimmy
Slyde, whose tap dancing career spans
over forty years, appeared in the Judy

"T he 1987-1988 Season at

opened on October 1 with a
"sold-out" performance of
"The Intimate P.D.Q. Bach."

classical music by Professor
Peter Schickele and friends
was held in Bowker Auditori-

Peter Schickele has become

•y he Modern Jazz Quartet
(left) performed at
Bowker Auditorium on No-
vember 12. Their appearance
was part of a swinging World
Tour in celebration of their
35th Anniversary. From its in-
ception in 1952, the Modern
Jazz Quartet has held a special
and unique place as one of the
truly legendary musical aggre-
gations in the history of mod-
ern music.

The Modern Jazz Quartet
'idea' began as the rhythm sec-
tion (drums, bass, piano plus
vibraharp) of "Dizzy" Gilles-
pie's second big band when in
1951 four of the ex-band mem-
bers recorded together as a
quartet.

More than any other group,
they can be said to have effec-
tively bridged the gap between
the classical and jazz worlds,
both on stage and in the re-
cording studio.

A Ithough the skies above the
-'»■ May 2 Southwest concert
threatened rain throughout the
day's proceedings, the real
thunder erupted when inimita-
ble 50's rock legend Chuck
Berry stormed the stage.

Roaring into an uninhibited,
hipswaying rendition of his
famed rock anthem, "Hail!
Hail! Rock 'n Roll," Berry was
a rock 'n roll force of nature as
he snarled and duckwalked his
way through such hallowed

classics as "Roll Over Beetho-
ven" and "Johnny B. Goode."

With his bellowing vocals
and white hot guitar riffs snap-
ping like lightning through the
dense afternoon crowd. Berry
ignited previously lethargic
feet and stirred up a swaying
dance tempest with his pulver-
izing performances of "Sweet
Little Sixteen" and "Nadine."

Climaxing his high-energy
appearance with a raucous
free-for-all on the song "My
Ding-A-Ling," and an extend-
ed frolic through "Reelin' and
Rockin'," Berry playfully wel-
comed exuberant spectators
onstage for a wildly trium-
phant jitterbug that left its par-
ticipants screaming for more.

"T" he Chestnut Brass Com-
pany, a versatile brass
quintet, and Quinic, a unique
vocal ensemble from Holland,
combined their talents in a
joint recital at Bowker Audito-
rium on Feb. 9.

The Chestnut Brass Compa-
ny (at left) has a repertoire
ranging from traditional music
for brass to avant-garde twen-
tieth century works, jazz, rags,
and popular music. The ensem-
ble has developed a remarkable
appeal through their perfor-
mances of vintage American
Civil War compositions per-
formed on period instruments.
Ancient and antique instru-
ments belonging to the group
include sackbuts. Renaissance
corenttos, horns from the Civil
War era, and keyed bugles.

"T" he soaring rock stylings of the Alarm
rang loud and clear over electrified
audiences at the May 8 UPC Concert.

Dubbed by some crtiics as "the Welsh
LJ2," this enthralling quartet of English
rockers deftly molded buoyant love
themes and searing rock anthems into a
surprisingly focused and intimate perfor-
mance before the crowd of 10,000.

Although some audience members were
a bit dismayed by the extent to which
Alarm lead vocalist Mike Peters aped U2
star Bono's heartfelt, "touchy-feely" stage
antics, most onlookers found their legs
pumping and fists thrusting to such lively
and intoxicating rock ballads as "68
Guns," "Strength," and "Rain in the
Summertime."

T he Fine Arts Center

closed its 1987-88 season

with a performance by singer

Nancy Wilson (at left) and her

trio on May 7th.

Nancy Wilson's musical
style has been so diverse over
the years (from her early pop-
style ballads to the steady flow
of jazz and blues songs she has
included in her repertoire),
that she has been described not
only as "a jazz singer," "a
blues singer", and a professor
emeritus of body language,"
but "a consummate actress"
and "the complete entertainer"
as well.

Her career blossomed in the
1960's following the release of
her well received debut single
"Guess Who I Saw Today."
After the success of her hit
song "Tell Me the Truth," the
prestigious Downbeat and
Playboy magazine polls voted
her one of the top singers in the
country. She was awarded the
Jazz Heritage Society's "Ebo-
ny Mike" award in 1976 and
won an Emmy in 1975 for her
own popular television
program.

"T he Jerusalem Symphony
Orchestra performed at
the Fine Arts Center Concert
Hall on April 27 as a part of a
North American tour celebrat-
ing the 50th Anniversary of the
Symphony as well as the 40th
Anniversary of the founding of
the State of Israel. John Nel-
son, who recently concluded
eleven seasons as Music Direc-
tor of the Indianapolis Sym-
phony Orchestra, served as
guest conductor. He presently
is Principal Guest Conductor
of the Orchestre de Lyon, Mu-
sic Director of the Caramoor
Festival, and Music Director of
the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
The program opened with
Psalms by Israeli composer
Paul Ben-Haim, followed by
the Schumann Cello Concerto
in A minor, Op. 129 featuring
American cellist Gary Hoff-
man (to the left). In 1986,
Hoffman won the top prize in

I wasn't lightning that lit
up the early-morning sky

on Oct. 15. It was the flash of
camera bulbs.

Just as the Old Chapel clock
struck midnight, about 150 student
photographers unleashed themselves
on the campus to take photos for the
Index's first photo contest, "A Day
in the Life of UMass."

The rules were simple: Take pic-
tures of anything that has to do with
the University of Massachusetts.
And that they did.

When the rolls of film were sub-
mitted to Index editors the next day,
nearly 5,000 pictures had been taken
of the campus, its people and its
beauty.

One photographer remarked, "I
never realized how beautiful the
campus was until I looked through
my camera lens."

Another said, "I never thought
there was so much to see at UMass."

The next eight pages showcase
what we (the editors) believe are the

,^ks of debat-
, fflr'ough photos for us
'n our choices to the 20
you see here. We do think, however,
each photo reflects some aspect of
university life, whether it be the
young man with his dog or the close-
up shot of the mailbox, which leads
off this section.

So, sit back, enjoy the photos and
try to recall what you were doing the
day they were taken.

Karen Drummey, a psychology
major and resident assistant
in Orchard Hill, stayed nine
semesters at UMass and hopes to re-
turn in the fall as a graduate student.
After studying for a year in Montre-
al, she decided to come back for the
extra semester, partly because of the
work she did the year before with the
New Students Program. "I could
have graduated last semester," she
explained, "But I stayed because of a
lot of things the university has to
offer. Being an R.A. and working
with the New Students Program
gave me a lot of information about
resources I never knew existed."
However, one thing that has made
Drummey's extended stay somewhat
difficult has been budget cuts and
tuition increases. "I'm really upset
about the budget cuts because I'm
independent," Karen said. "I'm pay-
ing for my own schooling and last
semester I had five jobs while I was
here. When I first came in, tuition

cut out. As a result, a lot of people

and good people for the university
community are unable to come
here."

But, Karen said that since the
number of applicants has been in-
creasing dramatically each year, so
has the academic average of those
accepted. "I'm usually surprised by
new students, and very impressed,"
she said. "They have a lot of poten-
tial and I feel this is the kind of envi-
ronment that will foster that
potential."

After graduation, Karen will most
likely study in the Human Services
Department in the Division of Orga-
nizational Development. However,
until recently, she hadn't planned on
going to graduate school. "I never
even planned on going to college,"
Karen said. "I was one of those peo-
ple who went because my parents
wanted me to go. UMass really
changed that. Now I don't want to
leave. I'll be going to grad school and
maybe I'll go even furtljer than
that."

Ed Cooke

Beverly, MA.

Ed Cooke likes to be chal-
lenged by life. More impor-
tantly, he likes to challenge
others. An active figure in campus
politics who organized the massive
Munson Hall/ CIA protest last fall,
this progressive-minded history ma-
jor and Beverly resident is not the
least bit conservative about sharing
some intense thoughts:

On Activism: "There's nobody
who will let you just walk by with an
issue (like the CIA recruitment ban)
without challenging you. You have
to get people to do things, to get off
their ass and care about things that
don't necessarily touch their lives
directly."

On Class: "No matter how hard
you try, you can never escape your
class. I don't want to; I love my class.
The experiences and values you've
gained . . . from growing up with
parents who have to struggle to make
a living . . . always stay with you.
When my father used to come home
from work and say he's tired, he
meant it. He swang a sledgehammer
all day. You can sit in an office, but
those kind of values stay with you."
On Education: "One thing I won't
miss about school is intellectual mas-

terbation. People who think they
know a lot about what's going on
don't. And people who don't know
what's going on don't care. School is
definitely a middle class environ-
ment. It's hard for people from the
working class to come here and deal
with the reality that's around them.
It's a different reality from what
they've grown up with. Everything
seems really phony, really plastic,
really fake."

On How He's Changed: "I've
learned an awful lot about how to
deal with people and how to go be-
yond silly stereotypes. When I came
here, I was homophobic. Now I'm
not. When I came here, I wasn't sure
that Communists were nice people.
Now I know they are. Other things,
like feminism, used to scare the hell
out of me, but now that I understand
it, I support it. I don't look at people
anymore and say 'Wow, what a
weirdo.' . . I've already made a
change in myself, going from a little
Reaganite to a Marxist/ Leninist."

During her years at UMass,
Becky Lauterbach has been
greatly involved with the Stu-
dent Government Associa-
tion. She has been assistant to the
speaker for two years and also chair-
person of the Governmental Affairs
Committee. Because of jobs like
these, issues such as student involve-
ment and awareness on campus have
become of prime concern to her. "I
think the fact that we can have a
rally for an issue such as alcohol and
have 1,500 people turn out is excel-
lent," she says. "The existence of
that kind of involvement shows that
there is some kind of outreach on
this campus, a network that does
work. Although, I wish that students,
while they do become involved with
things that directly affect them,
would become involved with things
that don't affect them as directly,
but are still important."

In addition to gaining technical
experience from her involvement
with the S.G.A., she has achieved
personal satisfaction there as well.
"I've become much better at work-
ing with people," said Becky. "As I
took up certain S.G.A. positions, in

which I had to be unbiased towards
every senator, I found that I can
work with both the liberal and con-
servative sides and that I am good at
being diplomatic and presenting an
argument clearly — one that anyone
is willing to listen to."

In general, she reflected upon her
four years here very positively. "I
turned down a couple of scholarships
to come here and a lot of people
laughed in my face for doing that,
but if I had to do it all over again, I
would definitely come to this school.
UMass has an excellent faculty and
the student body is so diverse. People
on the outside may think it's a less-
than-average school, but I've found
it to be incredible."

Sandor Goldstein

Marblehead, MA.

Oppression.
It's an ugly concept, but
one which senior psychology
major Sandor Goldstein has tackled
well during his two year tenure as an
RA at UMass.

"Everyone has their own preju-
dices, to a certain degree" observes
the Marblehead native, "but being
an RA helps make you more awake.
Being Jewish, I'd say I was probably
a little more aware of prejudice than
a lot of students coming from small
towns ... I already felt sensitive to
issues of racism and oppression, but
being an RA opens you up even
more."

Indeed, the even-keeled Hillel co-
president is grateful for "the empa-
thy— the perspective" on issues of
oppression that two years of student
counseling and interaction have af-
forded him, citing this unconditional
appreciation of diversity as the part
of UMass he will miss most upon

and make them think . . .
sometimes that's enough.

graduation.

"If you lived in New York, you
might get the kind of diversity you
have here at UMass, but other
places there just aren't that many
different people," muses Goldstein,
who realizes "For some people that's
not a problem, but I think (the cul-
tural mix) makes (life) more
interesting."

Being an RA has sobered Gold-
stein to the fact that "you can't
change the world and you can't
change people, but if you can stop
and make them think (about their
prejudiced beliefs), sometimes that's
enough to do things."

"That's a realistic goal" notes
Goldstein with some optimism, a
goal he will now test in the diverse
cultural waters beyond UMass.

Michelle Johnson doesn't
think she would have made
it as a black engineering stu-
dent had it not been for the National
Society of Black Engineers and the
Minority Engineering Program on
campus.

According to Johnson, "both or-
ganizations provide a lot of good tu-
toring and encouragement for mi-
nority students."

Interestingly, Johnson, a Danbury,
Conn, resident, has been involved
with each organization since her
freshmen year, serving as secretary
of the NSBE in 1983 and, later, as
the group's president. Overall, she
says this experience enlightened her
about the inner workings of the uni-
versity and the feelings of minority
students, in general.

"Basically, I've learned the tricks
of getting around UMass, thus mak-
ing the university a more comfort-
able environment in which to live."

Although she considers the pro-
tests against racism, which followed
a 7-day sit-in of the New Africa
House by minority students in Feb-
ruary, to be encouraging expressions
of students rights, Johnson believes

— Michelle Johnson

the media has blown some of those
incidents out of proportion.

"It's not as bad as some of the pa-
pers are making it out to be," she
said. "Some of the incidents are iso-
lated, others are not. Penn State is
now having the same problems, so it
is not just UMass."

But, she says, UMass students
should be proud for facing the prob-
lems head on, rather than allowing
them to escalate.

"I think people have begun to
come out and are now not afraid to
say what they feel," she said.

"People are beginning to ask 'Why
are we taking this?' Minority stu-
dents are realizing that, as paying
students, they have a right to be
heard."

Immediately following gradua-
tion, Johnson will be working in the
management program of Bristol My-
ers' Clairol division.

Jeff Groux

Medina, Ohio

UMass has always seemed a
hotbed for political activ-
ism, yet to hear senior histo-
ry major Jeff Groux explain it, those
once potent coals of student interest
and ire are now beginning to dim.

"Political issues have died down"
observes the lanky, square-jawed
Groux. "Four years ago, I can re-
member this campus was so liberal . .
. the conservative faction was quite
small. Now just go to any senate
meeting — the left is still really vocal,
but (now) very small."

A three year member of the
UMass Board of Governors and an
officer for Student Security, Groux
is distressed by the much narrower
and more introverted focus campus
political debates have taken.

According to Groux "(The outcry
against) the alcohol policy today just
demonstrates how students are pret-
ty moderate — They're just not as
politically motivated anymore. Try
to get that many students out for any
political issue and it's impossible, but
get students out there for something
that affects students and they go
nuts."

Groux credits the influx of afflu-

"The racial issue hasn't
been blown out of proportion,
but other issues deserve
equal time. People are just
afraid to speak out against

— Jeff Groux

ent, Reagan-era conservatives as the
major reason the sting has gone out
of student activism, while he believes
the recent fervor over racial oppres-
sion and CIA recruiting to be over-
emphasized.

"The racial problems need to be
addressed" says Groux "but it's not
the only problem on campus that
needs addressing. The problem with
sexism and female abuse is not cried
out and it happens more regularly
(or just as often) as racial occurences
. . . other issues deserve equal time.
People are just afraid to speak out
against them.'-'

Of his four years at UMass, Groux
muses "I'm not the narrow-minded
conservative 1 was when I came in . .
. the opportunity to meet all different
types of people . . . really broadened

Out of all her college memo-
ries. Dawn Gevry remembers
most the time she and her
friend hosted a dorm dance and no-
body showed up.

"I was co-president of Webster
dorm with a friend of mine," she
said. "And one semester, we decided
to hold a dorm dance. But, the only
students who showed up were the
ones on our floor and that's because
we kept bugging them."

She said the main problem she
faced as co-president of a dormitory
house council was in motivating stu-
dents to participate in planned
events, and she thinks this problem
carries over into campus-wide activi-
ties, including political rallies and
concerts.

"In general, it's really hard to get
the word around about a certain
event because it's such a large uni-
versity," she said. "Basically, you
need a gimmick. I think that's what
gets people."

Gevry, who began school as a bio-
chemistry major and later changed
her course of study to incorporate
food science, has spent five years, or
10 semesters, tracing the winds of

I'm Really Glad I Came
To UMass. There's So Much
Going On Here. There Is An
Opportunity To Learn From
Everything."

— Dawn Gevry

change on campus. In that time, she
has watched the university battle in-
ternal strife, budget cuts and intense
media scrutiny, while always cham-
pioning its diversity.

As she says, "I came from a really
small town and this place is so big. It
was really different," she said.
"There were 1 80 people in my grad-
uating class. I don't even think we
had any black kids in my school. But,
here there are people from Europe
and all over the world. I think that's
helped me to become aware of
what's going on in different
cultures."

Although Gevry was, at first, ap-
prehensive about attending the uni-
versity, looking back she says, "I'm
really glad I came to UMass. There's
so much going on here. You see a
new face everyday. Overall, I think I
got a lot out of being here. There is
an opportunity to learn from every-
thing. In a small school, I don't think
it would have been ideal."

Cristen Nichols

Chatham, Mass.

Cristen Nichols hates math.
And because the thought of
adding and subtracting fig-
ures makes Nichols cringe, she de-
cided to choose a major that would
keep her away from numbers. She
chose English.

As she says, "I decided to be an
English major because it's the far-
thest thing away from math I could
think of, and, as it turned out, I real-
ly enjoyed the courses."

When Nichols, a resident of Chat-
ham, Mass., arrived on campus near-
ly four years ago, she was well aware
of the university's "tainted" reputa-
tion and, as a result, was uncertain of
the academic credibility of the
school.

"My first impression of UMass
was that it's all parties, no academ-
ics," she said.

But, after spending nearly 30
hours a week studying, she is con-
vinced of the high academic stan-
dards set by the university's
administrators.

"UMass is a tough school, if you
put the work into it. You can breeze
through it if you want to, but, if you
want to get something out of it,
you're going to have to work hard,"

"UMass Is A Tough School, If
You Put The Work Into It. You Can
Breeze Through If You Want To.
But, If You Want To Get Something
Out Of It, You're Going To Have To
Work Hard."

— Cristen Nichols

Nichols said.

In conjunction with her academic
work, Nichols has been active in a
number of campus organizations,
namely the Union Program Council,
where she served as program manag-
er, writing press releases and orga-
nizing PR campaigns for acts com-
ing to campus.

Reminiscing about her experi-
ences on the UPC staff, Nichols
finds the creative freedom she had in
expressing her ideas to be the most
beneficial aspect of her work.

"It's a business environment,
meaning you're put into a situation
where you're working under people
as well as with people, but you're
also in control of what you're doing,"
she said. "You're the one who is
making the decisions."

Although Nichols is unsure of
where she will be in 10 years, she is
certain of her immediate plans.

"I'm planning on managing a jazz
club after graduation, and I hope to
continue to work in some aspect of
the music industry," she said.

Bryan Clain is a double-degree
student majoring in econom-
ics and philosophy and trans-
ferred to UMass during his junior
year. Before that, he attended Hunt-
er College and the Cooper Union,
each for two semesters. After finally
settling down at UMass, he has been
able to make many comparisons be-
tween this school and his others and
explained his reasons for having
transferred. "One thing a lot of stu-
dents don't realize," he says, "is the
advantages of going to a large school
with dormitories, a rural campus,
and a lot of interaction between stu-
dents of different backgrounds and
disciplines. It's something that a lot
of people simply take for granted.
Since my other schools were located
in New York City, they didn't have
campuses and they lacked the sense
of community that you find among
the students here. Places like the
campus center and the dorms give
people the chance to get to know
each other outside of class. I think
that's very important."

Another advantage he cites is the
"passive" acquisition of knowlege
through interaction with other stu-

side the classroom as inside
just by opening my eyes to
what's around me and by
getting to know people."

dents. "I've learned as much outside
the classroom here as inside just by
opening my eyes to what's around
me and by getting to know people. I
became much more exposed to issues
here just through conversation or
through seeing the rallies at the Stu-
dent Union or the marches across
campus. All of those things have
made significant contributions to my
social and intellectual awareness."

Bryan also went on to explain cer-
tain advantages his other schools
offered him over this one. For exam-
ple, the Cooper Union operates
strictly on a full scholarship basis
and Hunter gave him philosophy
professors of "the highest caliber."

"They're excellent institutions for

what they do," Bryan explained,

"but UMass oferred me more of

what I was really interested in."

Paul Moylan

After four years of Economics
training, senior Paul Moylan
is doing what comes natural-
ly: He's teaching English in Mexico.

As the 26-year-old Falmouth na-
tive explains it: "I'm studying Span-
ish right now and I've travelled to
Mexico before ... I really loved it. I
like to teach too. I got this job
through the (UMass) Spanish dept;
somebody knew a teacher down
there so I just wrote (him) a letter
(and was hired)."

If all this sounds slightly uncon-
ventional, that's only appropriate;
Paul Moylan is an unconventional
guy. Then again, how else would you
describe a man who's life philosophy
is "I think everybody's screwed and
nobody gets screwed enough."?

The red-haired, sharp-featured
Moylan is quick to acknowledge
UMass as the true source for his ad-
venturous, broad-minded perspec-
tive on life, and describes his alma
mater as "a microcosm of a regular
community. It's like a miniature city
or town . . . (but) . . . more politically
active than any other place. It's not
normal."

One aspect of UMass life Moylan
has found particularly bizarre is the
fuss and furor over the new alcohol

Falmouth, MA.

"I think it's good that the New
Africa House was taken over. It's
good to see people getting together
to create some kind of change. And
it helps wake some people up who
might be somewhat apathetic.

— ^Paul Moylan

policy, as he feels "a lot of people's
priorities are in the wrong place. The
alcohol rally was probably close to
10 times as big as the racism and
financial aid rallies. And I can't real-
ly say that's good or bad. That's
what affects people's lives, and if
they feel like fighting for it, that's
fine."

"I think it's good that the New
Africa house was taken over," adds
Moylan, who was proud to see "peo-
ple getting together to create some
kind of change ... It helps to wake
some people up who might be some-
what apathetic ... I was glad to see it
just because the conservative trend
since I've been here has just been
overwhelming."

Moylan himself is anything but
conservative when he describes how
much he' he'll miss his involvement
in the Karate Club and "hanging out
in the Bluewall and not getting any
work done. I'll miss being totally sur-
rounded by my peers (and) the class-
es .. . but I'm ready to move on. It's
time ... to take my lessons out into
the world."

While I do appreciate my expe-
rience at this university, I've
been very disillusioned with it
at the same time," says senior En-
glish major Janet Daly. One issue
that has added greatly to her disillu-
sionment is the university's lack of
attention to certain pressing social
problems on campus. "For exam-
ple," she says, "sexual harassment on
this campus is a disease. I only came
to realize that because I was a victim
of it and I saw how it's handled.
You've got a bunch of people trying
very unsuccessfully to enforce a poli-
cy that's supposed to be treated as
the law. There are tenured members
of faculty here who've been found
guilty of multiple violations of sexual
harassment policy and who are still
permitted to teach. That's a very
hard thing to deal with when you
find you don't have an administra-
tion that fully supports you and your
rights."

On a more positive note, those
same issues have motivated Daly to
take up social causes. "I feel like I
can more readily identify with peo-
ple in the university community who
feel persecuted for one reason or an-

other. In respect to many other so-
cial issues, UMass is unique in that a
lot more wounds are openly salted
here. Other schools may be more
willing to sweep things under the rug
in order to preserve the school's rep-
utation. Here, it's nice that people
can actually protest things."

Admittedly, protests can get out
of hand. According to Daly, "this se-
mester, we had close to 2,000 stu-
dents rallying for the right to public
vomiting, while probably no more
than 200 showed up for anti-racism
demonstrations. I think that malice
is a national student malady —
UMass is just being the scapegoat
for it in a lot of cases. Because of
that, when I first came here, I had
the attitude that I'd only stay for one
year because I'm so much better
than the other students here. Now, I
wouldn't choose any other school
over this one. Half of the developing
you do here isn't just intellectual, it's
developing as a human being."

JoEUen Saunders

Wellesly, Mass.

As a student counselor for the
College of Arts and Sci-
ences, who has possibly an-
swered every conceivable question
known to students, JoEllen Saunders
thinks she has a pretty good hand on
the pulse of student concern.

"I've talked to thousands of stu-
dents from all over the university,"
she said. "They (the students) come
to see peer advisors for just about
anything. And, as a result, I think
I've learned a lot about the universi-
ty itself and what students need to
know."

Saunders said part of that knowl-
edge comes from learning to com-
municate with people. And, if any-
one is an expert at communication, it
is Saunders, who majored in the sub-
ject while attending the university.

"I'm in the personal communica-
tions major basically because com-
municating cross-culturally is an im-
portant aspect of our society and
people tend not to recognize that,"
she said. "People are really quick to
criticize people who have a strong
accent or who are foreign to Ameri-
can culture. Very basically, you can't

get an understanding of what it's like
to be a foreigner until you've actual-
ly been transplanted or have gone to
another country."

Saunders, however, is well-ac-
quainted with the confusion and fear
that can be associated with visiting a
foreign land. So far, she has visited
Poland and Costa Rica, two coun-
tries, she says are not on the "hot-
countries-to-visit list."

"It was an interesting experience
because you don't really get to see
inside Soviet block countries and the
news that you hear through the me-
dia usually focuses on violence. It's
never quite as the news makes it out
to be."

She thinks the same is true when it
comes to the media's coverage of the
recent racial conflicts that have be-
set the university.

"The media will take a small pic-
ture and blow it up to make it every-
one's life," she said. "Personally, I've
never had any problem here and I've
been here for four years."

Newark, N.J.

Dwayne Warren is driven. He
is one student who can look
back on his college career
and honestly say he has accom-
plished something.

Afterall, the tireless student activ-
ist was a key player in the February
sit-in of the New Africa House by
minority students. He was president
of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity,
served on both the Third World Cau-
cus and the Student Senate, and was
on the board of directors of the Unit-
ed Christian Foundation.

He says these activities did not de-
tract from his education, but rather
added to it.

"1 look at UMass as a laboratory
for leadership," he said. "You can
come here and you can design your
life plan and, if it works here, it will
probably work anywhere. Overall, I
think I've gotten a lot of great prac-
tice here — a lot of teaching and a lot

of learning experiences here that are
going to help me down the road."

Warren thanks the university for
opening his mind to a variety of is-
sues he was once ignorant to.

"I found ways that I really was
sexist and I was apalled," he said.
"And I'm battling those ways now.
Things concerning handicap accessi-
bility, you're not really sensitive to
them until you start debating the is-
sues and representing these people."

He is afraid such willingness to
protest and organize debates on
campus will be absent outside uni-
versity walls.

"I think on a college campus,
there's a lot more idealogical in-
volvement. People get involved be-
cause they're a republican or a dem-
ocrat. But, in society, I think you
have a lot more apathy to deal with."

Caren Walker

Roslindale, Ma.

Caren Walker is one of three
coordinators of the Sylvan
Cultural society located in
Cashin House. The organization's
goal, according to Caren, is to pro-
vide programs and projects aimed to
develop self-awareness, cultural un-
derstanding, leadership skills and ac-
ademic improvement for all mem-
bers of the UMass community.
"Basically," she says, "it seems like
third world students, or people of
color separate themselves on campus
and you begin to see that there's a
problem here. We try to do some-
thing about that through S.C.S. We
try to unite people. In that respect, I
think we've done a lot."

Although S.C.S. is an organiza-
tion built to serve the community, it
has provided Caren with personal
satisfaction as well. "I definitely de-
veloped my leadership and organiza-
tional skills. Those are things that
will help me to get ready for the real
world. This spring, we focused on the
jazz festival. We've had internation-
al food fests too. All of those things
take a lot of organizing and I think
that's helped me to grow. After do-

ence. You learn what is right and
wrong, what to do and what not to
do."

ing this for four years, I can see how
my mind has expanded and I can
also see my knowledge being passed
on to Phil and Stephanie (the other
S.C.S. coordinators). I think I've
matured a lot."

But Caren attributes the acquisi-
tion of such growth and knowledge
not only to her involvement with
S.C.S., but also to four years of col-
lege in general. "College is one big
learning experience," she says. "You
learn what's right and what's wrong,
what to do and what not to do. Also,
UMass has an especially diverse
campus and that's good. That's edu-
cational. UMass is a place where
there are a lot of problems as far as
racism is concerned, but it's also a
place where you've got the opportu-
nity to learn a lot from people with
different backgrounds and cultures.
It's just that with some people, you
have to help them to learn. And help
them grow."

As a second year resident
assistant in Dickinson
dorm, and former co-
president of Hillel, Eric has con-
cerned himself with many of the so-
cial and racial issues at UMass. "My
whole perspective has changed on
people in general," he says. "Coming
from a predominantly Jewish high
school (75-80%), it was difficult to
get more than one perspective on
things. That changed, though, when
I came to college and became an
R.A. By being an R.A., you get to
see other people's points of view.
You get to understand how they
think, but you also learn to under-
stand that you have your own preju-
dices as well." However, "prejudices
are something that everyone has," he
explained. "It's not so terrible to
have prejudices, but it is terrible to
have them and not admit it, or not do
anything about it." Because of the

One of Marisa's most impor-
tant activities while at
UMass was her involve-
ment with Hillel. She was treasurer
of the R.S.O. for the 1987-88 school
year and said she's benefitted from it
not only in terms of financial knowl-
edge, but also in the way of social
support and religious awareness.
"Learning how to manage money
and communicate with a large group
of people was important to me," she
said. "But what was even more im-
portant was the social aspect of Hil-
lel. The office is a comfortable place
to meet people. It's like having an-
other family." As far as religion
goes, Marisa became more involved
with Judaism when she came to col-

racial incidents that occurred on
campus this past year, prejudice and
social awareness have been the sub-
jects of much conversation, but "it's
something that some people are
more open to than others," Eric said.
"Some people say they can't stand
hearing all the talk about these kinds
of issues. That, in itself, can make an
R.A.'s job a lot harder because our
job is to educate and that's hard to
do when people don't want the edu-
cation." He went on to explain that
one reason for such problems is that
people are coming from a "purely
white perspective." "I've been op-
pressed because I'm Jewish, so, in a
sense, I can understand certain as-
pects of what's happening that other
people can't. I think too many people
aren't interested in stepping out of
their own skin for a while and trying
to understand someone else's point
of view."

lege. "I wasn't very religious when I
was in high school. I knew I was
interested in it, but since there
weren't many Jewish people in my
town, I didn't have much contact
with it or support for it. Then I came
to UMass," she said. "There are
3,000 Jewish students here; that's
the support group I was looking for.
Because of them, I gained a lot of
knowledge about my background
and culture."

When asked what she will remem-
ber most about the university, she
replied, "The diversity of students.
Definitely. I come from a fairly con-
servative town and I never really
came into contact with people of

such different backgrounds. I like
the idea that you can be any kind of
person you want here and there will
always be at least one other person
like you."

As a campus tour guide, Marisa
had the chance to impress upon peo-
ple some of the things she thinks are
an important part of any student's
college career. "UMass is the kind of
place where you get out of it exactly
what you put into it. If you take the

upper level classes and if you put the
effort into it, then you can do well,"
she said. "I've taken classes in the
honors department and at Amherst
college and I think that the classes
here are comparable to what you
find at the Ivy Leagues. Someone
asked me on a tour once if I regret-
ted coming here or if I would have
rather gone somewhere else. Looking
back on it, I'm very happy I came
here. Absolutely."

UMass Graduates 4,661

"A peasant — or a graduate —
must stand a very long time on a
hillside with his mouth open before a
roast duck flies in."

Those were the words of wisdom
author and 1963 alumnus Paul Ther-
oux offered the 4,661 members of
this year's, the 118th graduating
class.

The commencement ceremonies
got under way promptly at 10 a.m.
on Sunday, May 22, as faculty mem-
bers, draped in colorful academic
robes filed into the Warren McGuirk
Alumni Stadium. Then came the
real stars of the day's celebrations -
the graduates.

Dressed in billowy black gowns,
bachelor degree recipients from the
university's eight schools and col-
leges slowly marched into the stadi-
um to be seated next to friends and
fellow classmates.

Chancellor Joseph Duffey kicked
off the ceremonies, and was followed
by President David Knapp, Theroux
and student speaker Lynne Murphy.

With an all-campus rope pull, bal-
loons and a campus-wide barbecue,
the University of Massachusetts in
Amherst celebrated its 125th birth-
day on April 29.

President David Knapp kicked off
the festivities with a speech to mem-
bers of a noontime convocation in
the Fine Arts Center.

"We are on the threshold of great-
ness," Knapp told the convocation.
"But that last mile may be the most
difficult. We must and will convince
the people to go that last mile. We
must be second to none."

The university was incorporated
on April 29, 1863 after President
Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill
Act of 1862, which established land
grants for state-owned colleges and
universities.

Among those on hand to partici-
pate in the day's celebrations were
Chancellor Joseph Duffey and John
Lederle, who served as the school's
president from 1960 to 1970.

Annivcrsary/303

A Feu) WotJi Fum Bekid Tk Oeik

In September, our managing editor, John Do-
herty, in a stroke of genious, tagged the Index
"The Little Yearbook that Could." He thought
it would be a clever slogan we could use when
advertising the book.

I, on the other hand, thought it was the corniest
saying I had ever heard. We, one of the largest year-
books in the Commonwealth, being compared to a
wimpy little train. Come on!

But, after thinking about it for a while, I realized
that the phrase summed up rather nicely what the
Index is all about.

After all, ever since we lost our funding in 1985, the
yearbook has faced a number of difficulties, namely
financial troubles, bad press and little administrative
support. And, to say the least, each year our critics
have dug our grave for us even before we have begun
production in October. Nevertheless, the Index has
overcome these obstacles, perservering to produce an
award-winning annual publication that is representa-
tive of the university.

This year was especially productive for the Index.
Most notably, the 1988 edition is the first ever to
contain advertising — seven pages of corporate ads
and 21 pages of Ads for Grads, where parents paid a
fee and composed congratulatory messages to their
graduating sons or daughters to have them printed in
the Index. By late May, we had received 165 ads, a
respectable showing for a first-time outing. Not only
did these ads generate needed revenue, but they also
increased overall booksales.

In light of these successes, the Undergraduate Stu-
dent Senate voted in March to absorb the book's re-
maining deficit. In doing so, the Senate helped in
setting the Index on a new course. Now, we start the
new year fresh, with a clean slate. And, if lady luck
doesn't turn her back on us, we'll sail through the year

unblemished.

But, regardless of what anyone says, the success of
this year's Index is due mainly to the efforts of the
1988 staff. Unlike in years past, this year we had only
five returning members to the staff, along with 17 new
members.

Of those 17, probably 12 had never even set eyes on
a photo cropper or layout sheet. Yet, the talent and
creativity demonstrated by the staff is evident
throughout the book. This year, editors took the liber-
ty to experiment with different shades of grey, back-
ground shadows and artwork, making for better look-
ing and more striking sections.

In all, the editors did a fantastic job, and now I'd
like to thank each one of them.

John: I looked to you as a source of creative energy
and comic relief. Your eye for detail and commitment
to perfection coupled with your zany sense of humor
pulled us through the rough times and made for an
excellent book. Thanks.

Clayton: Although we had different feelings and
opinions about a number of things this past year, your
dedication to keeping the Index spirit alive never fal-
tered. Your work to convince the Senate to absorb our
deficit was commendable and I thank you.

Susan: You make the best dinners, especially Blue-
fish. And your work as business manager/sports editor
wasn't too shabby either. But, seriously, thanks for two
things. First, for your time and, second, for teaching
me how to drive a standard shift.

Mary: Whoever says you're quiet doesn't know the
Mary I do. It was nice to see you finally open up. You
worked hard on the Academics section and it shows.
Thanks. By the way, your ghost stories rival those of
Peter Straub.

Index photo editor Renee Gallant spent countless hours scurrying around campus snapping photos. Here
she is caught on the other side of the lens by fellow photographer Eric Goldman.

Kristin: I'll never forget the time Ope-
lina decided to take a little break on us,
right in the center of Amherst. Your reac-
tion was priceless and so was your work as
Academics editor.

Marianne: You weren't afraid to let me
know when things weren't going quite
right and I appreciated that. You did a lot
with the Organizations section. It looks
great. Thanks.

Kimberly: You took on a tough section
mid-year, yet your enthusiasm and deter-
mination to get things done was always
evident. Thanks.

Ellen and Karen: There was a lot of
confusion concerning your responsibilities
as sports editors. Yet, the two of you stuck
by the Index despite the frustration and
that, in itself is admirable.

Renee: A hearty thanks to our own Ma-
dame Legumes. I never once had to worry
about the quality or quantity of photos.
You were always efficient, organized, en-
ergetic and fun. Thanks.

Jen: If you should ever get bored with
your chosen profession, you could always
become an auto mechanic. Believe me, if it
weren't for you, John, Sue and I would
probably still be stuck in Southwest with a
flat tire.

Jody: You did a lot for the News sec-
tion, despite your mid-year accident. It
was a pleasure having you on staff.
Thanks.

Katy: Taking on a section you knew next
to nothing about was difficult, that was
given. Yet, you managed to produce pages
that will undoubtedly make the Greeks

proud.

Caroline: What can 1 say? You're in-
credible and your Senior section is singu-
larly superb. Good job.

Dionne: 1 had no qualms about naming
you Fine Arts editor. After all, art is what
you do best, and that talent is reflected on
every page of the Fine Arts section.
Thanks.

Marguerite: Do the words "staff meet-
ing" mean anything to you? I didn't think
so. Only kidding. Ha! Ha! It was fun hav-
ing you on staff and I look forward to
working with you on the '89 book. By the
way, you're the only person I know who
defrosts her refrigerator with a blow dryer.

Dario: You have served the Index faith-
fully for over 20 years, but, I think this
year you were more active than ever be-
fore. It was comforting to know that there

Gray &klcs Shroud Ded Hot Funk

Although UMass' spring semester came
to life in a promising blaze of flora and
balmy air, many of the season's most
enthusiastically anticipated concerts and
outdoor activities were menaced by ashen
skies and rainy mists.

April 22nd's eccentrically raucous

Eastside Concert was the first casualty of
the conspiring elements, with Fishbone's
outrageous punk-rapping and the Red Hot
Chili Peppers' testosterone-laced
histrionics nearly drowned out by the
oppressive chill of the day.

Above: The Red Hot Chili Peppers'
borishly macho, testosterone-laced his-
trionics were a highlight of April
22nd's Eastside Concert. Right: A stu-

Romantics counted on their
seductive brand of dance-rock to
stave off potential showers, while
legendary rock'n roll innovator
Chuck Berry became his own
formidable force of nature to
create the only true "thunder" of
May Ist's Southwest Concert.

May Sth's much-heralded UPC
Concert fared best of all, with
initial clouds quickly dispersing
under the luminous and eclectic
influence of quirky chanteuse Jane
Siberry, the passionate quartet
The Alarm, and bluesy soulmaster
Robert Cray. Over 10,000 UMass
students and Amherst residents
alike surrendered themselves to
the day's snappy, infectious
groove, making UPC's season-
ending extravaganza the hottest
UMass concert in both climate,
public interest, and performer
appeal.

military positions and responsibilities under the
auspicious dome of Bowker Auditorium.

This vibrant collage of spring activities

Individuality Deigns Supreme

Throughout the climactic
proceedings, the graduation field
remained a billowy black quilt
of creative diversity, with many
graduates adorning their
formerly sedate robes and caps
with unique patterns, daring
sculpture, and personalized
messages to their misty-eyed
loved ones in attendance.
Indeed, whether clowning with
longtime pals or sitting in quiet
introspection, the class of 1988
presented nothing less than a
unified, caring front; an
"extended family" whose loving
bonds stood tall above the
finality of the day.

torrent of embracing
figures and joyous tears.
As a slow-dispersing
swarm of balloons faded
gently over the Amherst

soared along with them;
sleek and buoyant
yearnings for a colorful
and prosperous new life .
