In Favor of
CHmGE
For more than a decade, America
follo\ved the route set by Republican
Presidents Ronald Reagan and
George Bush. But in 1993, Arkansas
Governor Bill Clinton and his run-
ning-mate, Tennessee Senator Al
Gore, made history to the tune of
Fleetw^ood Mac's classic song,( "Don't
Stop) Thinking About Tomorrow."
Clinton became the first Demo-
cratic President of the United States
since 1980. Amid the usual media
scandals and the unusual discussion
caused by third-party candidate H.
Ross Perot, a wealthy Texas busi-
nessman, Clinton promised to change
the "politics as usual" slogan of the
Republican years.
At the University, student voters
turned out in record numbers to show
their concern for the future, said
workers at the polling stations.
"This restores my hope that stu-
dents really do care about voting and
making a contribution to their own
lives," said Lesley Grouse, a worker
in Precinct 4.
"Almost all of the voters registered
in this precinct have voted. This is an
unusually high turn-out," said
Esterica McGill, the w^arden of Pre-
cinct 2. Out of about 4,000 registered
student voters in Precincts 2,4,5, and
10, more than 3,700 actually voted in
the election.
"It is our generation that will be
deciding on issues, and by voting w^e
are showing w^e care about ^vhat hap-
pens to the country," said Josh
Wardop, a sophomore engineering
major. He said he thought it was
great that a group of his friends got
together and voted.
"It's our future, and when students
complain about the government
when they haven't voted, I think it's
hypocritical," said John Mitchell, an
undecided freshman. He said he
wanted to vote to try to make a
change.
"This w^as my first chance to vote in
an election," said Kathy Fleming, a
junior history major. "I can't see why
anyone w^ouldn't vote when it's such
an easy thing to do, and it's so very
important to the future of our coun-
try, and to my o^vn future."

Politics Upside
Bill Clinton's victory in the presi-
dential election will have a positive
impact on a wide range of issues
facing the nation, according to sev-
eral University professors.
Matthew Chametzky, a legal stud-
ies lecturer, said he hopes to see
Clinton put -women and people of
color into positions of power, so that
the country's cultural make-up will
be truly represented in the govern-
ment.
"Reinstate vitality into Roe vs.
Wade, and stop the erosion of the 4th
Amendment," said Chametzky. "Re-
flect a more multicultural vie^v of
reality in his approach to the law."
"With Governor Clinton as presi-
dent, I see the country going in a very
different direction injudicial appoint-
ments," said David Schimmel, a pro-
fessor of education.
"I anticipate the appointment of
people w^ho see abortion as a right
and who tend to promote separation
of church and state. Regarding edu-
cation issues, I see Governor Clinton
committed to providing increased
assistance by the federal government
to schools themselves and to stu-
dents, as president," he said.
"Bill Clinton has had an excellent
record for improvements in the pub-
lic education system in Arkansas,"
said Associate Professor of Educa-
tion Patricia Anthony. "I think w^e
now have a real advocate for educa-
tion in the White House."
"With the election of Governor
Clinton, I expect less w^eakening of
environmental policy and I expect
him to take steps to stop the efforts of
the Bush administration to weaken
environmental policy," said Environ-
mental Director Joseph Larson.
"Under President Clinton, I ex-
pect a much more active policy in
foreign affairs and less acceptance of
governments as they are," said Karl
Ryavec, a political science professor.
"I expect a bit more
pressure on govern-
ment to act more hu-
manely."
"With the election of
Governor Clinton, I an-
ticipate more emphasis
on human rights and
less interventionary ac-
tion from a geopolitical
point of view," said
James Der Derian, an associate pro-
fessor of political science.
"Bill Clinton did extremely well in
coming out and trying to create a
new spirit of community, in calling
on people in trying to energize them
as Kennedy did," said Ervin Staub, a
psychology professor. "One question
is whether Clinton will try to bring
this spirit of community and caring
into the real world, into human rights
issues, moving outw^ard, into con-
cerns like Bosnia."

Balloon animals and free brownies
marked the grand opening of the
William D. Mullins Memorial Cen-
ter, as people from the University
and surrounding communities gath-
ered to tour the multidimensional,
$48.8 million dollar facility.
With the Mullins Center, the Uni-
versity has entered the world of big-
time sports and entertainment. An
enticement to top-notch basketball
recruits, the place already has seen
the likes of Olympic figure skater
Dorothy Hamill, magician David
Copperfield, and metal megastars
Metallica.
"I can't wait to come see the con-
certs and the basketball games," said
Matt Kane, a junior zoology major.
"There's so many seats and conces-
sion stands. This place is great," he
added.
Mullins is the third largest multi-
use indoor facility in Massachusetts,
after the Boston Garden and the
Worcester Centrum. It will be the
site for future university convoca-
tions, commencements, theatrical
productions, trade shows, and con-
ferences. And with two Olympic-size
ice rinKLS, hockey will return to the
sports program after a 15-year ab-
sence.
"I really wish that this could've
been built sooner, because I only
have one semester left to enjoy it,"
said Pa in Stopek, a senior psychol-
ogy major.

basketball court.

Mullins has seating for 9,493 for
the basketball games - more than
double the Cage's capacity. Students
say that although Mullins has much
to offer, the Cage will be missed.
"This ne-w arena is exciting, but it
has a totally different effect than the
Cage," said Melanie Chaikin, a se-
nior psychology major.
"The Cage was too small, and you
couldn't al-ways get seats. Now^, with
the Mullins, more seats will be avail-
able," said senior civil engineering
major Tom Labierte.
"This is incredible. There's not a
bad seat in the ^vhole house," said
Lee Dagle, a senior history major.
The only obvious problem is the lack
of a center scoreboard, Dagle added.
Traffic concerns and a $50 per se-
mester fee for students to pay for the
building seem to be the only other
down sides to the Center. On the
other hand, Mullins provides em-
ployment for students, on-site train-
ing for students in the sport manage-
ment program, and entertainment
close to home.
"Any place that gives away balloon
animals is the place for me," said
Rich Toomey, a senior communica-
tions major.

Driving Us Crazy
There's much more to being a
Pioneer Valley Transit Authority bus
driver than dodging pedestrians and
squirrels, and keeping the wheels
off the curb, according to Eric
Coakley, a senior anthropology ma-
jor.
"The drivers are really good," he
said. "If you have decent concentra-
tion and road skills, anyone can
learn. You need a class B (commer-
cial driver's) license, and (the train-
ing period) is about 10 two-hour ses-
sions, which goes by pretty quickly."
The application process involves
an interview and a road test in a
lumbering 35-foot schoolbus dubbed
"The Wido-wmaker." Coakley drove
around the backroads on the out-
skirts of campus, and then was sent
on his w^ay. A w^eek later, he was
hired and his career as a bus driver
began.
UMass Transit works in conjunc-
tion with the PVTA to operate 14
routes daily, serving the Five Col-
lege area and the surrounding com-
munities of South Deerfield,
Sunderland, and Belchertown.
The 39 buses carry 21,000 passen-
gers over 4,500 miles each day. Of
the more than 120 drivers, 90 per-
cent are UMass students, many of
whom also serve as managers, train-
ers, and mechanics' assistants.
Coakley said he appreciates the
job for numerous reasons: the pay is
excellent, the hours are flexible, and
the routes are far from monotonous.
He recalls times when enthusiastic
riders have plied him ^vith religious
pamphlets, and "when the 38,500 lb.
buses break down en route.
"That's actually kind of fun. It
sure does break up the day," he said.
"But there is a certain pow^er in-
volved knowing that these people
trust you with their lives," he added.
There are incentives to do well.
Students receive UMass Transit
jackets for the longest accident-free
periods. An employee of the month
program is in effect, parties are
scheduled around the holidays, and
a Vi^ork-sw^ap system has proven suc-
cessful.
Chris Willey, a training supervi-
sor, is quick to point out the
organization's professionalism.
PVTA has the lowest accident rate
in the valley, and is one of the few
transportation systems anywhere
that can claim a zero fatality rate.
"We're one of the largest free bus
systems east of the Mississippi," he
said. "I think the staff treats people
well here. Once a month we have
drivers' meetings, which really help
with problems and questions."
Of course, there are some good-
natured gripes that come w^ith the
territory, said Willey.
"There are always numerous que-
ries about bus destinations - read
the sign on the front, bud!" he said.
Posters in the main office instruct
drivers on how to appropriately
handle "chime ringers," the passen-
gers w^ho ring the bell a dozen times
for one stop ("Just don't lose your
cool!").
Here's a few^ guidelines for passen-
gers, to make trips that much easier.
Loop two goes by Baybank first, the
Sunderland and North Amherst
buses both go by Puffton Village,
and yes, if the bus at the Hampshire
Mall reads Northampton, then that's
where it's going. Great, get set for
endless happy months with the crew
of PVTA.

A Passenger's
View
Many of us have tried The Experiment. You
know, the one that goes: I have a class at 9:05, let's
see if I can get to Mahar from Sylvan in less than two
minutes.
Of course, some of us have tried this experiment
voluntarily. For the rest of us it's a normal, daily
routine. Fortunately, for the chronically late, the
unfortunate oversleepers, and even the punctual,
we have the PVTA bus system.
Yes, these blue and white beacons of hope can be
lifesavers. The Pioneer Valley Transit Authority is
a free public service that provides concentrated
service to the Five College area.
It is an often overlooked staple of college life,
although most of us have enjoyed its blessings:
speed, shelter from rain and snow^, and a competent
student driver who helps to wake us further each
morning with a bright smile and sometimes screech-
ing brakes.
On the flip side, we pedestrians know a somew^hat
less benevolent bus system, one that bears down on
the unsuspecting as vsre place one foot off the curb,
testing fate and the ability of the driver to avoid a
collision. Alums remember the joke about the one
who didn't get away...
The PVTA is a means of salvation and despair,
depending on which bus schedule is on hand at any
given moment, and is an important part of our lives
here at UMass. Oh, and here comes one now.

In a
Call the
In the face of racial tension and violence,
the escort service is viewed by many stu-
dents as a source of relief and prevention.
Students may call and request an escort
between any of the buildings on campus
and the outljdng fraternities and sorori-
ties.
"I used the escort service last night for
the first time. My resident assistant in-
sisted that I call the escorts when she
heard that I was walking to the library,"
said junior English/secondary education
major Trish Wilson. "It's been reliable. I'll
probably continue using it," she added.
The frequency of use appears to reflect
student awareness of danger on campus:
75 to 100 calls come in on weekdays, and
100 to 130 on weekends. Two vans and two
student security workers are available to
escort students between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.,
seven nights a week.
In addition, two patrol cars are used as
back-up during peak periods. All drivers
for the service are public safety officers,
who may be identified by green uniforms
with security patches.
"Because of all the racial incidents on
campus, I think it's best that I use the
service at this time," said Virgil Hickmon,
a senior hotel, restaurant, and travel ad-
ministration major. "The escort service is
a very good program. And, as a male, I'm
not ashamed to use it," he added.
"I think it's great, so much safer than
walking alone at night. I use it between
the residence halls. A lot of my girlfriends
do, too," said Julie Caccamise, a junior
industrial engineering major.
The escort service began in 1982, when
the Student Government Association spon-
sored a volunteer service. The following
year, the Department of Public Safety at
UMass took over the program. Just walk-
ing escorts were offered until 1988, w^hen
a vehicle was added to the service.
"We've done about 50 more escorts a
night since we got the (second) vehicle and
did advertising," said Jennifer Fazzi, a
junior political science/economics major.
Fazzi is one of four supervisors of the
student security department. She said stu-
dents can expect a 10 to 15 minute wait
before the ride comes.
Critics of the program point out that 15
minutes is a long time to be alone when
waiting for an escort, and that it is some-
times difficult to be sure of the escort's
identity, although the vans are marked.
Fazzi said students don't seem to mind the
wait.
"We get the same people calling all the
m t
TUDENT LIFE
time. We've got to be doing some-
thing right if they're calHng back,"
she said.
Lawrence G. Holmes, deputy chief
in charge of security, said the escort
service is one of several efforts to-
ward improving campus security,
including better lighting and the in-
stallation of help phones.
"We need communication. We need
to work together as a campus to see
that this community problem gets a
community response," he said.

World ^^
Walking past the campus pond,
you hear a wild peal of bells coming
from the Old Chapel. "Has the clock
gone mad?" you wonder. Suddenly,
the sound becomes music and you
hear a clanging rendition of We Shall
Overcome or Oh, What a Beautiful
Morning. What you are hearing is
one of the members of the Quasimodo
Qlub practicing the ancient art of
bell-ringing for your enjoyment.
Jim Olson, a senior hotel, restau-
rant, and travel administration ma-
jor, and Dr. Ken Samonds, a nutri-
tion professor, are the active cam-
pus bell-ringers. Any time you hear
music coming from the Old Chapel
bell tower, it is either Olson or
Samonds playing.
"We try to play at least three times
a ■week," said Olson. "We also try to
play for special events." They ring
the bells for such occasions as fresh-
man convocation, Hanukkah,
Christmas, and Martin Luther King
Day. They have also played for visit-
ing dignitaries such as Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, and for the Inaugu-
ration of President Clinton.
"I also play for every -winning
UMass basketball game," said
Samonds. "I listen to the game on
the radio in my car, and then run up
the tower to play when the team
wins. This was great when the games
were at the Cage, but the crowd can
still hear the bells at the Mullins
Center."
Other members of the Quasimodo
Qlub include James MacRostie, a
director of operations at the Fine
Arts Center, Richard Nathhorst, a
senior laboratory designer at the
Physical Plant, and Horace Boyer
Right: Jim Olson, a senior HRTA
major, can often be found looking out

and Everett Haffner, both from the
department of music and dance.
The bells in Old Chapel w^ere in-
stalled in 1934 in memory of War-
ren E. Hinds, president of the class
of 1899, by his surviving classmates.
There are 10 bells in the chime. The
original tolling bell also remains
after being installed in 1889, one
year after the chapel was built. The
bells are played from a large clavier
two floors below the bells.
"We believe the bells add a nostal-
gic feel to the campus," Olson said.
"Alumni stop by occasionally to tell
us that they really appreciate us
playing because the bells remind
them of their days here."
"In restoring and playing these
bells, we hope that -we have given
something back to the University
that otherwise might have been lost,"
he added.

"Good afternoon!" a voice thun-
dered above the roar of the crowd. A
pause. Archbishop Desmond Tutu
tried again: "Well, that wasn't much
of a welcome. ..GOOD AFTER-
NOON!!!" The audience at the Fine
Arts Center responded ^vith cheers.
Tutu's first stop on a 10-day na-
tional tour sold out well in advance of
his appearance, thanks to the Dis-
tinguished Visitors Program. The
demand for additional seating was
met with an overflow^ room, the Rand
Theater, that had an audio hookup
to the FAC. To many, the compro-
mise seemed worthAvhile. One audi-
ence member said, "I can't believe
w^e're almost in the same room as he
is!"
Tutu's reputation as a leader in the
Black political struggle in South Af-
rica preceded him to the University.
The theme of his speech w^as the
theme of his life.
"God did not make a mistake in
creating you. Don't go around apolo-
gizing for it. Appreciate who you are ,"
said Tutu. "Don't get caught up in
who is more clever, who is smarter,
^vho is short, or foolish. We are all of
equal worth," he added.
A supporter of the Anglican reli-
gion. Tutu said he believes that God
bestows gifts upon individuals in the
form of potential, saying "It has en-
abled me to w^ork to my unique self."
Tutu has had his work cut out for
him from day one. His decades of
political struggle originated in a 1957
protest brought about by the govern-
ment implementation of a t'wo-class
system for Blacks and Whites.
After studying theology and being
ordained to the Anglican priesthood
in 1961, Tutu concentrated his ef-
forts on a large-scale program to as-
sist the less fortunate, primarily the
Black residents of South Africa. His
opposition to the Group Statutes Act,
a government ordinance to move
Blacks from urban areas to the out-
lying countryside, and his endorse-
ment of the withdra'wal of foreign
investments from South Africa,
makes him a controversial figure.
Two years after winning the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1984, Tutu became
the first Black Anglican Archbishop
of Cape Town and Metropolitan of
the Church of the Province of South
Africa.
"The color of a person's skin is a
total irrelevance," he said, "but that
is precisely what racism does. It
makes one forget so easily." He ex-
plained how^ this w^ay of thinking
isolates people to the extent that
they are no longer thinking ratio-
nally. "We actually have to learn
how to become human."
"We belong together. We celebrate
our diversity . In your heart of hearts,
you know you care for laughter, and
joy, and caring, and compassion. We
are a human family," he concluded.

Out I in the Real World
In the Pioneer Valley there are
many opportunities for students to
volunteer time and energy toward
helping others. These organizations,
independent shelters, and kitchens
■welcome both those who are in need
of services, and those willing to give
this personal attention.
"(Volunteering) gives you satisfac-
tion, and it's a re-ward for yourself,"
said Heather Wyrostek, a sophomore
microbiology major. She works w^ith
Not Bread Alone every other w^eek-
end to help w^ith the preparation of
food for the soup kitchen at the First
Congregational Church in Amherst.
Wyrostek said she enjoys interact-
ing with people w^ho are w^aiting in
line, and playing w^ith the children
who come to Not Bread Alone. She
said the greatest reward is "the sense
of accomplishment" one gets from
volunteering.
George LaCroix, a senior econom-
ics major, said he also enjoys the
benefits of volunteering in the area.
He IP a member of Alpha Phi Omega,
a COT 1 caunity service fraternity based
at ti Iniversity. The group raises
money for local organizations by par-
ticipating in events such as bike reg-
istration drives, blood drives, and
Casino Night.
Holyoke and Springfield also have
great need for volunteers, according
to Phyllis Jubinville, a head coordi-

Among the year's most popular
theater presentations were pro-
ductions of Craig Lucas' black
comedy Reckless, and the "tribal
love-rock musical," Hair.
Staged by the University's De-
partment of Theater and Edward
Golden, faculty advisor. Reckless
is a fast-paced comic adventure
of life in modern times. It tells the
story of Rachel (Lynda M. New-
ton, a senior theater major), a
naive wife and mother, whose
Christmas Eve "euphoria attack"
is interrupted by the news that
her husband has taken out a con-
tract on her life.
As the action of the play un-
folds, Rachel becomes involved in
a series of increasingly unlikely
events. She spends the holidays
with a bizarre physical therapist
(Tony Maestrone, a senior the-
ater major) whom she meets at a
gas station, wins a fortune on a
game show, gets framed for mur-
der, and finally goes insane and
becomes a psychiatrist. The melo-
drama presses the audience to
reevaluate view^s on everything
from television and relationships,
to sanity and Santa Claus.
The lead role in Reckless was
played by Newton in her Depart-
ment of Theater debut. No
stranger to the stage, Newton has
previously appeared before
UMass audiences in the student-
written "sitcom" Bill and Karen,
as well as the acclaimed Theatre
Guild productions of Noises Off
and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
"Working in the Theater De-
partment, there's a much more
professional atmosphere," said
Newton. "With the Theatre Guild,
it's all students and everyone is
working toward where you want
to be." The biggest difference?
Working with award-winning di-
rector Edward Golden. "It's com-
pletely different from having a

Equally audacious is the student-
liroduced Hair, presented by the

\i a musical celebration of the 1960s,
'he action revolves around the ex-
I loits of a hippie named Claude (Marc
[ ''. Mazzone, a freshman pre-commu-
[ ication major) in New York City
: uring the fall of 1969.
Written by the musical team of
Rado, Ragni, and MacDermot, Hair
boasts numerous classic rock tunes,
including "The Age of Aquarius,"
"Good Morning Starshine," and the
rousing title song.
The UMass production is unique,
thanks to new orchestrations by Pe-
ter Fernandez, a senior English ma-
jor; controversial, thanks to the deci-
sion to include a rarely-performed
nude scene; and a glowing example
of effective theater on a student level.

The tour guide's motto is: smile
even while you speak, don't walk
backwards and try to talk at the
same time, and, in order to avoid
personal panic attacks, always re-
member that there are five residen-
tial towers in Southwest - and they're
on the left.
At the University, the tour guides
are students chosen for their knowl-
edge of the campus and intense en-
thusiasm. Their joy at presenting
their school to prospective students
can't be squelched by the most
drenching rainstorm or the most bel-
ligerent campus visitor.
Because the first contact many
potential students have with a col-
lege is a campus tour, the students
who lead the tours are well aware of
their responsibility. Yet, a good im-
pression is also an honest one, not
one which glosses over the
University's problems, or makes the
situation sound hopeless.
The guides are asked many ques-
tions, and they try to have the an-
swers. If not, they are always able to
refer the questioner to the appropri-
ate department where the answer
can be found. Here are some of the
more commonly given answers,
straight from your tour guide's
mouth...
• Tours are available seven days a
week at 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.,
from the start of school to the end of
finals week in May. During the sum-
mer, tours are offered only on week-
days. The tour leaves from the Cam-
pus Center information desk, and
lasts about one hour and 15 minutes.
• The route includes stops at the
Campus Center, Student Union,
Japanese Elm Tree (near South Col-
lege), reference section of the Tower
Library, Bartlett Hall, Curry Hicks,
Fine Arts Center Concert Hall, Cam-
pus Pond, a dorm room in Knowlton
House, and ends at the Campus Cen-
ter.
• The library is not actually made of
bricks. It is constructed of steel gird-
ers, and the bricks are really a fa-
cade. As the half-bricks weather,
pieces chip off and fall to the ground
- not the whole brick. Edward D.
Stone was in charge of the construc-
tion, of the building during the early
1970s, the same man who built the
Sears Tower. It is the tallest red

cations major, and Joanne Bunuan, a junior

brick library anywhere.
■ The University has an undergradu-
ate population of approximately
17,000 students, and a graduate
population of about 6,000. The cam-
pus itself is 1,200 acres, including
Hadley Farm.
• The Five Colleges offer approxi-
mately 7,000 undergraduate courses
each year, and have a combined popu-
lation of 26,600 students and 2,300
faculty. The five libraries together
hold 4.2 million volumes.
• The no-fare PVTA bus system runs
within a 12 mile radius of UMass.
The 39 buses are driven mostly by
UMass students, over 14 routes and
4,500 miles each day.
• The island in the campus pond is
called "Isle of U." The water becomes
warm as it flowrs in from underground
pipes, keeping the ducks happy. The
pond is celebrating its 100-year an-
niversary, and is eight feet deep.
■ About 80 percent of the total num-
ber of people affiliated with the cam-
pus pass through the Campus Cen-
ter during any given day, and more
than 6,000 people take a guided tour
of campus during the year.

In the hour that it takes to catch a bus
uptown, gobble a pizza, and hightail it back to
campus for the 1:00 class that is your all-time
favorite, you could save someone's life. An hour
and a pint of blood, that's all it takes.
The American Red Cross relies on the stu-
dents at the University of Massachusetts. UMass
is consistently the number one sponsoring do-
nor in the Northeast (Maine and Massachu-
setts) region, coming through with more than
3,000 units of blood annually.
"Giving blood makes me feel good about my-
self, and what I can do to help someone else,"
said Wendy Su, a sophomore chemistry major.
"I don't think there's anj^thing else that's so
simple and worthwhile. Besides, they give out
free munchies."
Student organizations enable the Red Cross
to come to campus by providing financial assis-
tance and volunteers to help in the recruitment
of donors and the actual process of giving blood.
The Red Cross nurses and technicians em-
phasize that there is no risk to the donor when
giving blood. The equipment is sterilized and
the student is put through a battery of tests to
determine whether or not he or she is a good
candidate for donating; blood pressure, family
history, personal medical history. The blood is
then examined before it is administered to any-
one else.
"It's not an easy thing to do, but those who
have, come back. It is, I think, one of the nicest
things anyone could do," said Nancy Marion,
who has been involved with recruitment at the
University for six years.
Marion said the Red Cross hosts an average of
40 blood drives a year on the Amherst campus.
She thanked the various organizations who
sponsor drives, including: the School of Nurs-
ing, Melville, Thoreau, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha
Delta Phi, Tau Beta Sigma, Kappa Kappa Psi,
Iota Phi Theta, Tau Beta Pi, VIBES, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, Tae Kwon Do, Army ROTC, Sigma
Delta Tau, Human Kindness Project, EMT,
Sigma Kappa, Phi Mu Delta, Delta Upsilon,
Alpha Phi Omega, and the Collegian.
"I've done it (donated) a couple of times since
I've been at UMass," said Bill Nagle, an as-
tronomy major. "It sort of makes me feel better.
For all the 'mean' things that I do I can make it
up this way."

At the University of Massachusetts, as every-
where else, it seems, people get hungry: whether
it be the post-party munchies or the deep, nutri-
tion-depleted stomach pangs.
Listening to the average student gripe and
moan might not indicate it, but there is a place
that provides healthy, smart ways to fuel a body
for long treks across campus.
"Although you can't force people to make se-
lections, they can get a nutritional meal in the
dining commons," said Joyce Frederick, a nutri-
tionist. "The four food groups are there at every
meal , so it's up to the student to make the proper
choii 3 about what he or she is going to eat for
thec^iv"
"I gi ■ ^ you can't please all 20,000 or so people
no matter what you serve. I try to eat right and
at least the D.C. offers all the food groups at
every meal," said Mike, an undeclared fresh-
man.
"Some people say they eat better here than at
home," said Robin Levine, a registered dietitian
and coordinator of nutrition and diabetes care
services at UMass for 11 years. "They realize
that each individual meal can't be tended to like
at a restaurant," she added.
According to Diane Sutherland, a nutritionist,
approximately 50 to 55 percent of the comment
cards are requests for certain entrees to be
offered more often or for a particular item to be
prepared differently.
"I know that it's really difficult to make mass
amounts of food, especially for so many picky
college students. I think the D.C.s do pretty
well trying to provide a variety of foods high in
nutritional value," said Laura, a freshman
Russian major.
An aspect debated about the system is the
potential use of a debit card. The card would
have a set amount that decreases with each
purchase. It might also be used in cash trans-
actions at the snack bars or in the University
Store for non-food purchases. The idea was
considered but turned down for financial rea-
sons, said Frederick.
Waste is a problem for the D.C.s - hence, the
seconds policy. How many times has someone
come in thinking he or she is famished enough

to polish off an entire side of beef, take every-
thing in sight, and end up throwing half away?
"Take what you want, but eat what you take"
isn't often a practical policy. That , folks, is why
the dining commons staff will only serve each
person one entree at a time.
The explanation as to why someone with the
10-meal plan can't eat on the weekends is also
simple, said Frederick.
"There is a high absenteeism factor on the
weekends, and because of the fact that uneaten
meals don't carry over into the next week, people
will tend to use them during the present time
period. The fact is, people will miss meals," she
said.
A tidbit worth noting is that student money
runs the four campus dining commons , and that
all those glasses, plates, and silverware that
disappear add up on every his and hers tab.
So, the next time it's chowtime and you're
sitting in front of the phone with a fast food
menu in your hand (and it's not 11 p.m.), head
over to the D.C. and do yourself a favor. Eat
right.

For the past 100 years, the campus
pond has been a special meeting
ground for ducks, dogs, and students.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of
this focal point of campus activity,
the Archives Department of the
Tower Library sponsored a special
exhibit.
"UMass Campus Pond: A Witness
to a Century of Change," is the result
of two years of information tracking
by Archives Assistant Mike Milew^ski,
a UMass graduate of the class of
1977.
The pond was originally a brook,
way back in 1892. The board of trust-
ees at -what was then known as the
Massachusetts Agricultural College
approved a motion to construct a
permanent dam across it, thereby
creating a pond.
The campus needed the pond,
which is no more than six to ten feet
deep, to freeze in the winter. It was
used as a source of ice which could be
placed in insulated buildings in or-
der to preserve fruit and dairy prod-
ucts. Today it is a rare occurrence for
the water to freeze because it be-
comes heated as it flows in from
underground pipes.
Through the century, the pond has
not only hosted various forms of natu-
ral wildlife, including sw^ans and
popcorn creatures, but also various
forms of student w^ildlife. The pond is
w^itness to activities ranging from
Frisbee tossing and parachute land-
ings to the annual spring concert
and peaceful recreation.
"I just sat by the pond, and it was so
peaceful," said Julie Veremey, a jun-
ior psychology major. She said the
pond helped her adjust to the stress
of being a transfer student on a nevvr
campus.
The ducks inhabit the pond year-
round, and are fed by University
staff during the winter months. The
sw^an relocates to Hadley Farm dur-
ing the w^inter, and returns every
spring to rule over the creatures of
the water.
"It w^ould be nice if w^e could swim
in it," said Nathan Richardson, a
junior music major.
But Bill Lambert, a University
landscape architect, urges students
to avoid sw^imming or being dunked
in the pond. Urban runoff from down-
tow^n Amherst and algae combine to
leave a lasting impression on bodies
and clothes.
The administrators of Mass Aggie
noted in their 1893 Annual Report,
the pond "furnishes the one thing
needful to make the landscape per-
fect - a w^ater view."
As Milewski explained, "By starting
out with one goal, they accomplished
a number of things."

Once again the ducks of the campus pond
went on hiatus to avoid the screaming gui-
tars, pounding bass, and unruly raps of the
UMass annual Spring Concert. Since 1977,
artists ranging from Janice Joplin to Queen
Latifah to Bruce Springsteen have let it all
hang out for the UMass student body, and
the ducks.
This year, the concert by the pond fea-
tured the area band Canine Bastards, the
hard-core Quicksand, Richie "played
Woodstock and the first UMass pond con-
cert" Havens, the Wallers (previously the
backbone of Bob Marley and the Wallers),
former UMass student band Dinosaur Jr.,
and the attention- grabbing rap trio
Naughty by Nature.
The show opened with a powerful growl
from the Canine Bastards. Their high vol-
ume was a wake-up call for students all
over campus who were sleeping until noon
on this Sunday, as well as a reminder of the
festivities to students who thought they
might get some studying done.
By the time Quicksand came on, frisbees
were flying and people were surfing the
crowd, obviously worked up by the zeal of
the hard-core band.
Then it was time for Richie Havens to
give students an idea of what their parents
may have been doing in Washington, D.C.
25 years ago. His expressions. ..graceful, his
lyrics. ..deep, his message... freedom.
The legend of Bob Marley lived on in the
performance delivered by the Wallers. Songs
such as No Woman No Cry and excerpts
from I Shot the Sheriff drove many students
to light up. ..with excitement.
Dinosaur Jr., although not very interac-
tive with the crowd, rocked as loud and
hard as they had at their previous pond
concert performances.
Then it was time for the show to "rap" up
with some naughty boys from New Jersey.
Naughty by Nature offended some and
quenched others' thirst for a little good
soul. Crowd participation created a sway-
ing wave of hands that would put any UMass
sporting event crowd to shame.
Throughout the day, students cheered,
bounced, and crowd-surfed to the show or-
ganized by University Productions and
Concerts. Mother Nature helped out by
supplying loads of warm weather and sun.
Injuries were limited to major sunburn and
one student's "bungee jump without a
bungee cord" from a walkway connecting
the Morrill Science Center buildings. Over-
all, it was another success for UPC as the
spring pond concert tradition of fun and
frolic lived on.

As I walk through the sHding glass doors of
the Cooley Dickinson Hospital Emergency De-
partment, I rub my eyes and recall the events
that brought me here. Two years ago I would
have never dreamed of being a member of the
Amherst Fire Department. Yet, when I walked
up to that recruitment table on the Campus
Center Concourse, my life changed forever. It
all started with training:
"This may be this most exciting and reward-
ing experience of your life. Remember, we put a
lot into (training) you and we expect the same
effort from you," said my instructor. Lieutenant
Patrick O'Brien, a mechanical engineering se-
nior.
After the night's emergency I hop into the
ambulance with my partner Brian Major, a
senior zoology major, and head back to the
North Fire Station. As we drive up the hill past
;he Sylvan residential area, I remember the
[irst time I walked into North Station as an
applicant to the Amherst Fire Department Stu-
dent Force. Soon after that I became one of the
16 students who volunteer their time and en-
ergy in exchange for training, equipment, and
housing at the station, if space is available.
During the past two years I have learned
basic firefighting techniques, how to drive and
operate the fire pumpers, and become a certi-
fied Emergency Medical Technician. I have
watched 15 other students and friends train
alongside me, and proceed from firefighter, to
pump operator, to student force officer.
"Even though we come from many back-
grounds and are going for many degrees, the
dedication and intensity of the student force far
exceeds that of any organization I have ever
worked for. And I'm proud to be here," said
Lieutenant Jeff Winn, a junior political science
major.
Suddenly, the radio pager sounds and brings
me out of my reverie. Engine Company Three is
dispatched to a reported building fire. As we
arrive at the scene of the fire, the attack crew
discovers a small kitchen fire that they quickly
extinguish. All is well, and Engine Company
Three returns to the station.
The diesel engine winds down and the station
is quiet once again. I remove my gear and line
up my boots with the others in anticipation of
the next call. I go back to bed to try to resume the
sleep that was interrupted by the call. Being a
firefighter often demands that I choose work
over sleep and, sometimes, my studies.
"It's difficult to balance my classwork with my
fire department commitments, but I value what
the student force does, and I gladly make the
sacrifice," said Captain Dave Sylvanowicz, a
senior exercise science major.
As the members of the Student Force rest, the
citizens of Amherst and the surrounding com-
munities slumber, safe in the knowledge that
they are protected from the threat of fire.

Patrolling by
Pedal Power
Long known as masters of the equestrian, the
University of Massachusetts poHce officers are
proving their mettle on a different kind of mount
- the mountain bike.
"We haven't been able to get anyone to pet the
bikes yet, but we're working on it," said Officer
Paul Vlach, coordinator of the unit.
Seven athletically inclined representatives of
the University's finest are patrolling the cam-
pus on two- wheelers as part of a new moimtain
bike police unit, and finding their mechanical
steeds offer many advantages.
"We're highly mobile, and we can go anywhere
on campus quickly. The bike patrols are an
excellent way to augment our regular cruiser,
horse, and foot patrols," said Vlach.
"On the one hand, this is an opportunity for us
to be highly visible and approachable to the
public. You're seeing a face, and realizing that
police are individuals. On the other hand, we've
found that we can move quietly and quickly into
trouble situations, often not even being noticed
until we're right there," he said.
Officers on bicycle respond to calls just like
officers in cars, with the exception of incidents
such as traffic accidents which require a cruiser
to block traffic, said Vlach. They wear blue
police shirts, black turtlenecks and pants, and
black and white helmets with "POLICE" printed
on them in bold letters.
The unit owns six bicycles - two Nishiki moun-
tain bikes purchased by the department of pub-
lic safety, and four other used bikes which were
donated to the unit. The bikes have standard
head- and taillights, but no flashing emergency
lights.
Members of the unit are present on all patrol
shifts, and can theoretically be patrolling cam-
pus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The
actual frequency of their rides depends on staff-
ing, said Vlach, and not on weather conditions.
The unit began training during the summer
by taking long conditioning rides and practicing
on a variety of terrain. The officers also at-
tended a three-day workshop at the UMass
Dartmouth campus on tactics, safety, and proper
use of bicycles in police work. Officer Denise
Duguay described the training as intensive.
In addition, unit members consulted local
mountain-bikers and bicycle shops aboutriding,
equipment, and maintenance. Vlach s£iid one of
the officers' prime concerns in using the moun-
tain bikes for patrol work is riding safely and
courteously around pedestrians.
The idea of establishing a bicycle unit came
from officers Mark Whelihan and Thomas
O'Donnell. Whelihan said they were inspired
after reading articles about similar patrols in
Seattle and Las Vegas.
"Bike patrols increase our visibility and con-
tact with the public," said Whelihan. "I also like
to bike in my off time, and now I can do it at
work, too."
The UMass officers are in good compemy.
Susan Jones, director of the International Po-
lice Mountain Bike Association, estimates that
close to 500 police departments nationwide are
patrolling on bicycle.

In Search of
Truth
Like so many students before me,
I came to this University with httle
idea as to which academic path to
follow^. A disillusioned transfer stu-
dent w^ith 32 theater credits, I began
my general education classes with
the hope of tasting a little bit of
everything, in order to decide w^hich
subject I truly w^ished to study.
I -wanted to discover w^hat excited
me. I needed to find a course of study
that not only interested me, but could
also help me gro\v as a person. I
w^anted to know ho^v it felt to care,
intellectually and personally, about
the subjects I studied, not just about
w^hat grades I got. "What I discovered
is the Afro-Am department.
The W.E.B. DuBois Department of
Afro-American Studies, located in
New Africa House, offers an incred-
ibly w^ide range of courses and a staff
of professors w^ho posess a wealth of
know^ledge and experience in the sub-
jects they teach. The courses cover a
spectrum of topics, from art and
music to political science and mod-
ern literature.
What I find most amazing about
the department is the people who
teach the courses. I took "Revolu-
tionary Concepts in African-Ameri-
can Music" with Archie Shepp, a
w^orld renowned saxophonist w^ho has
worked w^ith John Coltrane; "Black
Literature" -with Michael Thelw^ell, a
widely published w^riter who refers
to James Baldw^in as "Jimmy" and
corresponds regularly with Chinua
Achebe; "Afro-Am Short Story" with
Esther Terry, a truly interested and
inspirational woman; "Black Politi-
cal Science" with Bill Strickland, a
w^ell-know^n political analyst w^ho
once missed a class because he needed
to consult with the Clinton campaign
in Washington, D.C.; and "History of
the Civil Rights Movement," also with
Thelwell, who helped organize the
1968 March on Washington.
These scholars live their work. They
have both an academic and a per-
sonal otake in the subjects they teach,
and that makes the experience of
learning with them one not often
f vailable to students. They bring to
t jii' ■lassroom an empathy and back-
grun d that is unique and makes the
suJijcr matter come alive, providing
a truly are learning experience.
1 !^ 1 not begin taking Afro- Am

courses with the intention of major-
ing in the department. Yet, the more
classes I take, the clearer it becomes
that this is exactly what I want to be
doing at the University. With each
course I become more and more in-
trigued by the issues and the new
viewpoints to -which I am exposed.
I am becoming aware of the w^on-
derful richness of Black history and
experience that traditionally has

In the
of Time
yyyy/yy///yy/yy^oy/yyyy///yyyy:^^^
Nick McBride, a journalism pro-
fessor at the University, was con-
cerned about his son's academic per-
formance at Amherst High School.
McBride said he thought more per-
sonalized assistance would promote
better skills, so he and several other
parents began a tutoring program
that relies on volunteers from the
University student body, and comple-
ments a tutoring program already in
place at the Amherst school.
"There's a great number of kids
who aren't getting to college, and
they're not getting to college because
they feel disconnected," said
McBride. "This is an early attempt to
help those kids become interested in
education."
University men and women from
various majors commute to the
Amherst junior high and high schools
each week to provide extra help w^her-
ever it is needed, according to the
advice of supervising teachers.
This one-on-one work w^ith the
younger students may include home-
work, papers, and general organiza-
tion, motivation, and study skills. It
may also involve helping the Amherst
students through romantic problems
or home conflicts that can interfere
w^ith academics.
"The students need someone to be
there who's not a parent, not a
teacher, and not their age. We're not
that far out of high school that we
don't remember what it's like," said
Jessica Broomfield, a senior journal-
ism major.
University students receive two
pass/fail credits for their time. As
part of the program, the 20 or so
student tutors formally meet with
McBride to talk about problems that
may surface when working with other
students, and to discuss the journals
that are kept as part of the program's
requirements .
"It seemed that there -were a lot of
students who were lacking academic
skills, and w^ere not being reached,"
said Matt Gerschoff, a senior jour-
nalism major. "What we were able to
give them was encouragement in an
academic/social atmosphere."
"These students aren't stupid. They
just couldn't see their futures after
high school," said Broomfield. "All
kids think, 'What am I ever gonna do
with algebra?' We just help them
want to do something with their
hves."

In Case
The fun part about going to the
doctor as a young child is never the
prick of a needle or even the grown-
up sense of freedom at leaving Mom
behind in the waiting room. Remem-
ber those wonderful nurses who
soothed our hurts and gave us lolli-
pops (the sugar free kind)? Of course
we do, even if some of those memo-
ries do have very cold hands.
Those men and w^omen began their
careers in much the same way that
all nursing students do. Yet the
UMass nursing program is distinct
in several w^ays.
"The practical experience we're
getting is incredible. We're doing the
work now that we're going to be do-
ing as a profession - we're actually in
the profession. Everything we learn
now is crucial to our future," said
junior Garrett Cohen, a Southwest
residential assistant.
"There's no other major like this.
We're dealing with real people," he
added.
Academically, the four-year pro-
gram involves more coursework than
most other arts and science majors,
requiring more than a dozen nursing
courses in addition to the University
general education courses.
It is an intensely selective and com-
petitive program. Approximately 200
students are enrolled in the School of
Nursing, and 130 more are pre-nurs-
ing majors.
Students who stand up to the rig-
orous training receive Bachelor of
Science degrees and go on to work as
registered nurses and physical thera-
pists, among other nursing-related
carei rs.
"It's a funny thing (that happens)
when I mention I'm a nursing major.
I get people coming to my room all
the time with cuts, bruises, head-
aches, medical questions - every-
thing," said Cohen.
After junior Kim Ritter took a se-
mester off and spent time with friends
and family, she returned to the Uni-
versity and enrolled in the School of
Nursing. "I was influenced by my.
relatives and kind of fell into the
program, and now I love it," she said.
Outside the classroom there is an-
other vital aspect to the program.
Nursing students spend an average
of 12 hours every week working at
either UMass Medical Center in
Worcester or Baystate Medical Cen-
ter in Springfield.
During this clinical time, students
interact closely w^ith nurses and pa-
tients. Students see how a nurse's
job ranges from knowing a patient's
history and understanding his or her
mental state to dealing with con-
cerned family and friends.
One of the requirements of the pro-
gram is reliable transportation to
and from the hospital. Furthermore,
when students spend eight hours on
a weekday in the hospital, and then
have to be back at 7 a.m. for a second
day of work, they must often provide
their ow^n housing arrangements.
According to Ritter, another strong
point of the program is that much of
the coursework focuses on preparing
students for the boards, although
this sometimes means 30-pound,
1,800-page, $90 books. Graduates
must pass the State Board Examina-
tion in Nursing in order to become
registered nurses.
The School of Nursing is an ex-
traordinary combination of class
work and on-the-job training. Al-
though challenging, the program is
equally rewarding. And, as Ritter
described it, one of the most dynamic
majors on campus.

(Climbing
the r~r
Walls^
As challenging as
a step aerobics class,
as exhilarating as
bungee jumping, as
disorienting as walk-
ing backwards down
a staircase, this is
UWW, the Univer-
sity Without Walls.
A unique adult de-
gree program at the
University of Massa-
chusetts, it is based
in Montague House,
nestled in the north-
ernmost corner of the
Amherst campus.
Like many of my
250 classmates, I
chose UWW for three
significant reasons.
First, it is a program
that recognizes my
desire and ability to
learn, even though I
have been away from
the academic arena
for some time.
Second, it accepts
the intrinsic value of
my life experience as
credit. The junior
year writing course
requires students to
put together portfo-
lios of their accom-
plishments. This
may include written
material, video or
audio tapes of perfor-
mances, or up to 75
transfer credits. A
panel review^s the
materials for each
student and then
grants credit toward
graduation.
Third, it gives me
the f rfjedom to sculpt
my own interdiscipli-
nary degree program
- journalism and
mass media - and tai-
lor it to fit my skills,
• personality, and as-
pirations, while
meeting all Univer-
sity requirements for
bachelor's degrees. I
have found no other
undergraduate pro-
gram that allows me
such latitude. My
area of concentration
is journalism and
mass media.
"I feel like I've gone
to heaven. I have in-
telligent conversa-
tion about philosophi-
cal topics ■with non-
psychotic people. My
brain feels like a long
atrophied muscle put
back into work," said
Michael from Or-
ange, an equine sci-
ence major.
The blue-jeans and
sw^eater-clad, mostly
thirty- and forty-
something men and
women amble in for
Saturday classes, be-
lying the tiredness
and responsibilities
of full-time jobs and
households. As any
other major, UWW
requires fulfillment
of certain classes,
w^hich are held on Sat-
urdays. Students
take other University
courses during the
■week to fulfill their
individual concentra-
tions.
Most of the stu-
dents are here on a
part-time basis in or-
der to acquire degrees
in fields in -which
they have years of
■working expertise. It
may take anywhere
from one to five years
for a student to
graduate. 60 percent
of all ITWW students
go on to graduate
school. Others, like
Michael, have differ-
ent reasons for at-
tending.
"I don't even like
my job. I'm here to
turn a hobby into a
ne^w career, one I en-
joy, so that -when I
retire in four-and-a-
half years I ■won't
have to pump gas and
liveonAlpo," he said.
For Michael, a cor-
rections officer for 16
years, this will be his
first full semester of
college since 1970.
"I enjoyed the
classes tremen-
dously," said Bar-
bara from North Vil-
lage. "I looked for-
ward to Saturdays
with my peers." For-
merly a mortgage
banker, she is pur-
suing a degree in in-
tercultural educa-
tion with a concen-
tration in visual aid
studies. "I ■was un-
sure at first, but it
helped me take con-
trol of exactly what I
^vant to do," she
added.
The United States
Census Bureau has
found that one in
four college students
is over the age of 30,
and that this influx of older students has
kept total college enrollment from dropping
significantly. UWW is an outstanding pro-
gram poised to welcome and support these
baby -boomers, as ■well as others ■who prefer a
non-traditional academic path.
UWW is about re-examining the past and
putting it into perspective for the future. It's
about critical thinking, reading, and ■writ-
ing, the essence of academics. It's about
experimenting, taking risks, feeling confused
and uncertain, and eternally hopeful.

Stockbridge is a:
building

stop on the bus route
agricultural school
all of the above
That's right, the answer is..."e." For now,
let's focus on the Stockbridge School of Ag-
riculture, founded by Levi Stockbridge in
1918, and the building that is home to
Bowker Auditorium. (A gold star to anyone
who knows why the road is called
Stockbridge!)
As part of the University's College of Food
and Natural Resources, Stockbridge offers
students an Associate of Science degree.
The two-year programs of study include
arboriculture and park management, equine
industries, floriculture, fruit and vegetable
crops, landscape contracting, and turfgrass
management .
"Stockbridge has such a good reputation.
Last summer, I just went to a golf course
and said I went to Stockbridge. They gave
me a job right away," said second-year
turfgrass management major Dave King.
Although Stockbridge is a separate pro-
gram, the students share the resources of
the University and are part of the commu-
nity. Classes such as "Diseases of Non-
Woody Plants," "Farm Business Manage-
ment," and "Applied Genetics" are scat-
tered throughout the buildings on campus.
Students use the University laboratory
facilities, and Hadley Farm provides three
barns and riding arenas for students in
equine industries, as well as facilities for
livestock. Students in the four-year animal
science major also call the farm home. These
people don't horse around!
"Most of the classes that we take are
relative to what we'll need in the future,"
said Xarin Tamms, a second-year equine
industries major. "We also go on field trips.
like w^hen we w^ent to
Florida for nine days,
to actually use what
we learn from books
and from the class-
room."
Students arrange
their own co-opera-
tive w^ork experience,
which is required of
first-year students
during the first six
weeks of the spring
semester and the fol-
lowing summer. An
adviser approves the
co-op, and provides
guidance during the
five month period.
Students have
worked at local busi-
nesses such as
Hadley Garden Cen-
ter and Nourse
Farm. Of course,
their bark is worse
than their bite!
"A lot of people re-
turn to school even
after they get other
degrees because
there just isn't any
work out there.
Stockbridge is a great program. Everybody
knows everybody. You make a lot of good
connections and, when you get out, there's
not much trouble finding good-paying jobs,"
said Dan Mayor, president of the Stockbridge
Student Senate. Mayor is a second-year
arboriculture and park management major.
"It's a great way to meet a lot of people,"
said Tamms. "And that's only a part of the
uniqueness of Stockbridge."

The opportunities for academic
success at the University are bound-
less. Especially since Amherst,
Smith, Hampshire, and Mount
Holyoke colleges exist for our added
benefit. Within a free bus system, no
less.
"At the smaller colleges, the class
size is apt to be smaller in general,
but the content is still the same. I
suppose the instructor is allowed
greater flexibility because of it, which
is great," said Dave White, a senior
computer and information science
major.
Many students agree that the Five
College system is valuable in obtain-
ing a -well-rounded education. One of
the benefits is the chance to fulfill a
requirement at another school -when
the course at one's own institution is
unable to accommodate every stu-
dent.
"Right now^ I'm taking a computer
science course at Amherst," said
White. "Since it's identical to the
UMass class, which wasn't offered
this semester, I don't have to \vait
around."
"I decided to take Arabic during
my second semester, sophomore year.
One of the reasons I chose UMass
w^as because of the Five College pro-
gram, and when I heard I could earn
six credits by taking it at Mount
Holyoke instead, I -went for it," said
Yasmin Nasrullah, a junior political
science major.
"Not only is more discussion en-
couraged because the class size is so
much smaller, but students from
other colleges can pick up a fe^w perks
along the -way. I received a free park-
ing sticker in a lot that's actually
near my class - and it never fills up,
w^hich is a huge relief when you're
pressed for time," said White.
"I'd definitely recommend it to any-
one," he said. "I was always afraid to
take a Five College class because I
thought it w^as going to be a moun-
tain of .-ed tape, but it -wasn't."
All a student needs to do is pick up
an interchange form in the Five Col-
lege office in Machmer Hall, obtain
signatures from the course professor
ar-d academic advisor, and complete
the paper-work before the end of the
add/ci i op period.

"[The class] gives you a new out-
look on diversity, in addition to what's
already available at UMass. It's more
personable than a lecture hall. I real-
ize that some of these schools can
afford to do this only because the
enrollment is like, one-tenth the size

UMass because it is large. I just
appreciate being able to take advan-
tage of both."

Out of
Boun3s
Ask Russell Kidd, director of the
physical education program, -what it
takes for a student to become a P.E.
instructor and he'll explain. Basi-
cally, any UMass student can fill out
a form and meet -with Kidd for a
personal interview. So wrhat does he
look for in a volunteer? He plays it
mostly by ear.
"Most people come in -with exper-
tise in (whatever sport ) they -want to
teach," said Kidd, using golf as an
example. Who would apply to teach
golf, for free, if she or he didn't know^
enough about the sport to feel confi-
dent teaching others? If Kidd thinks
an applicant know^s how to make a
sport interesting and fun for other
students, UMass has a ne-w gym in-
structor.
Except for the very experienced or
those who specialize, a T.A. works
without pay for tw^o credits, the exer-
cise, and what Kidd calls a "great
experience." He added that nothing
builds confidence and responsibility
like volunteer teaching.
"I took scuba-diving, and I enjoyed
it, so -when I went to Key Largo over
winter break I got certified and now^
I'm T.A.-ing a class w^ith the Project
Deep instructors," said Scott
Galbraith, a junior civil engineering
major.
The system is a great success, ac-
cording to Kidd. Since 1978, when
student volunteers took over the
teaching of P.E. courses, the size and
scope of the program has grown
steadily.
"Smith College has one aerobics
class a day," said Kidd. "We have 150
aerobics instructors teaching 90 dif-
ferent sections each day."
UMass offers 78 sports courses,
involving 275 class sections, 575 stu-
dent P.E. teachers, with more than
6,000 s „udents enrolled in the classes.
Kidd said no other program in the
country has students teaching stu-
dents on such a grand scale.
Students seem to appreciate learn-
ing from other students, in a non-
academic, no-pressure atmosphere,
according to Kidd.
"Students can ask us a 'stupid'
question that they w^ouldn't w^ant to
ask an instructor," said Galbraith. "I
like to encourage students because
scuba-diving is really a lot of fun."
And the volunteer teachers aren't
the only ones who enjoy the classes.
"Yoga is great after you've had a
really hard day. The postures and
breathing exercises are stress 're-
leasers', and they help you put your
life in perspective," said Linda
Petrillo, a senior psychology/politi-
cal science major.
"They love what they're doing," said
Kidd. "The talent available is amaz-
ing."

sharing of a common goal to further
ourselves morally, socially, and in-
tellectually by sharing common ex-
periences.
ADP is the oldest national frater-

The sisters of Chi Omega
are devoted to excellence in aca-
demics, athletics, and community
activities. The fall semester began
with the Apple Harvest on the
Amherst Common. This annual
event really gets us into the swing
of things and allows us to share in
a very joyous occasion with others
from the University and surround-
ing communities.
Next was our Walk-a-Thon,
v/hich took place in the middle of
November. The success generated
by this good cause encouraged
many of us to exercise on a regular
basis. Finally, getting us into the
holiday, gift-giving spirit was a
project at the Soup Kitchen. There
is no way to express the emotion
one feels when providing a hot
meal for a person who would other-
wise go hungry.
While Chi Omega stresses
the importance of volunteer ■work,
■we also have our "just for fun"

and formals are al^ways popular. At
Chi Omega, students experience
some of the best times ■we'll ever
have, ■with some of the best friends
■we'll ever make.

The Delta Chi fraternity was
founded on October 13, 1890 at
Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
Originally founded as a law frater-
nity, it later evolved into the social
fraternity that it is today. There are
currently more than 100 chapters
located nationwide and in Canada.
The Massachusetts chapter w^as
founded at UMass on March 1, 1969.
Since then, our chapter has become
one of the top- fraternities on cam-
pus.
The social life at Delta Chi has
something to offer everyone. Our
exchanges with sororities continue
to be a good time for all. We also have
the perfect backyard to host Greek
Area barbecues. At these occasions,
people from through oiit the Greek
system play volleyball and basket-
ball, eat^vell, and socialize \vithmany
of the 1,200 members of the Greek
Area. Whatever your pleasure, it can
be found within the Delta Chi social
life.
The house that we live in is con-
sidered by many to be the nicest on
campus. It boasts a great living envi-
ronment with spacious living quar-
ters, cozy fireplaces, study room, a
pool table, 24 hour open-kitchen, a
w^eight room, and many other conve-
niences of home. Delta Chi is a home
its members can come back to again
and again after graduation.

lege in 1834. The Massachusetts
Chapter was colonized in 1979, and
gained chapter status in 1980. Since

The brothers of Delta Upsilon are
very proud of our annual philan-
thropy, the Chariot Roll. It is a 110-
mile road race from Boston to
Amherst to raise money for The
Jimmy Fund, a program committed
to fighting cancer in children.
In addition, Delta Upsilon pro-
vides an unmatched social life. We
enjoy parties and exchanges with
sororities at least once a week. Broth-
ers live in a house with 30 of our best
friends. We eat meals catered by a
professional chef, and participate in
a competitive intramural program.
Amidst all the fun. Delta Upsilon
takes pride in its academic achieve-
ments. The chapter's grade point
average is well above the all-men's
average. The alumni offer special
internships and co-ops for an added
advantage in the game of life.
From turf management to sports

Lambda Chi Alpha enjoys an ex-

Massachusetts. This is because of its
rich heritage, dedication to the sur-

portantly, the bond of the brothers.
The house is found On the corner of
North Pleasant and Fearing streets
where it has hosted Lambda Chis for
more than half a century.
We -were founded on the UMass
campus on May 12, 1912 and since
then the tradition of Lambda Chi
Alpha has been burning the mid-
night oil. The brothers are proud of
the ideals which the fraternity w^as
founded upon.
The brothers have always found
it is of great importance to give back
to the communities that host its ex-
istence. The brothers have raised
money for such programs as the
Muscular Dystrophy Association and
D.A.R.E. (Dare to Keep Kids Off
Drugs). The brothers also work in a
soup kitchen to feed the less fortu-
nate, and collect food donations dur-
ing the annual "Pantry Raid" at
Thanksgiving time each year.
Brothers develop and utilize lead-
ership skills by taking offices within
the chapter. The brotherhood also
encourages its members to get in-
volved in activities outside of the
house. Whether playing intramural
sports, shooting hoop, raising money
for charity, or just hanging out, the
men of Lambda Chi are brothers for
life.

December 15, 1953. Our small na-

\vith the nine other Phi Mu Delta

On the local level, we are always

American Red Cross blood drives and,
in the past, have organized a 24 hour
Bike-a-Thon for cystic fibrosis, and
held a food drive for the needy. We
sent two delegates to national con-
clave this summer, and enjoyed road
trips to Penn State, Keene State, and
Ohio Northern.
Although MU is home to several
varsity athletes, sports are not ^vhat
we are all about. And even though
we have some fantastic parties, par-
tying is not what we are all about.
Despite the fact that we have many
talented musicians involved in MU,
music is not \vhat we are all about.
Phi Mu Delta is about friendship
and brotherhood. What we provide
for each brother is a home away from
home. Basically, we are a happy,
fun-loving group of guys who enjoy
all the University has to offer.

The University of Massachusetts
chapter of Zeta Psi -was founded in
1975 by a few friends who decided to
create a hfelong bond between them
by joining a fraternity. They found in
Zeta Psi a feehng of friendship, un-
derstanding, and acceptance. Our
brotherhood here at UMass stresses
that feehng over everything else. We
pride ourselves on our closeness and
caring for one another.
In the spring of 1991 disaster
befell our chapter w^hen a fire de-
stroyed our house. Two years later
we are a strong, growing chapter on
this campus. We hold weekly meet-
ings at the Newman Center and have
exchanges with other fraternities and
sororities almost every week. We hold
various social events throughout the
semester and are very competitive in
academics, with a 2.73 cumulative
average.
We are an international frater-
nity with chapters stretching from
Ontario to Texas to Los Angeles. Our
eight week pledge period consists of
learning historical information and
tradition stretching back to 1847.
New members get to meet many of
the Greek brothers and sisters, and
take part in numerous road trips,
including one to McGill University
in Montreal.
Zeta Psi is a group of friends w^ho
have come together to improve our

more than 30,000 brothers stays
important throughout a lifetime. It
is an honor to call oneself a brother of

If you thought the men's basketball team was
the most successful team at UMass, think again.
The University of Massachusetts field hockey
team had one of its most successful seasons
ever, finishing third in the country with a 21-2
record and reaching the NCAA Final Four.
It was a memorable year for head coach Pam
Hixon's squad, one that was destined to be
special. When the Minutewomen defeated num-
ber four ranked North Carolina 1-0 early in the
season, people knew to take this squad seri-
ously.
"Roll UMass" was the team's slogan, and roll
they did. The senior-laden team went on a 10-
game vnnning streak to begin the season, and
fans wondered if this was the year the team
would win a national championship. With se-
nior Philippa Scott in goal, and senior co-cap-
tains Joy Blenis and Kathy Phelan providing
leadership on defense, the Minutewomen
seemed complete. Almost.
The missing piece of the puzzle was senior
transfer student Ainslee Press, who brought
her international experience (she was an alter-
nate to the Canadian Olympic team) and goal
scoring ability (25 goals) into the mix during
1992. Press provided the game-winning goals
against early season rivals like Temple, Rutgers,
and Northeastern. But even the senior from
Mississuaga, Ontario could not have helped
against three-time national champion Old Do-
minion, who handed the Minutewomen their
only regular season defeat, a 3-0 blowout.
So what did the Minutewomen do after the
Old Dominion loss? They regrouped and started
another winning streak. UMass finished out
the regular season with eight wins in a row,
then won their first Atlantic 10 Championship
since 1988 by defeating Temple in the final in
triple overtime on penalty strokes.
The A- 10 Championship gave UMass a first
round bye in the NCAA Tournament and meant
that they would get to host a second-round
game at home, one win away from the Final
Four.
It took overtime, but junior Tara Jelley's goal
lifted UMass past Penn State 1-0, and the
Minutewomen were headed to Richmond, VA
for their first Final Four since 1987. The
Minutewomen were slated to face undefeated
No. 2 Iowa, and a win would give them a rematch
with Old Dominion.
But it wasn't meant to be, as the Hawkeyes
overwhelmed UMass in the NCAA semifinal
game. UMass had a 1-0 lead into the second
half, but lost 3-1, to complete a remarkable
year.
^^ssi©®
^«*»,«M
i' ATHLETICS
The team received a slew of awards during the
season, and Hixon received her third consecu-
tive A- 10 Coach of the Year award and the
NCAA Northeast Region Coach of the Year
award.
Press and junior Jenn Sahsbury were the A-
10 Co-Players of the Year, and both were on the
A- 10 Tournament team. Press was also named
to the NCAA Final Four Tournament team,
while Salisbury was selected as a third team
All-American. As for Scott, she was named the
A-10 Tournament Most Valuable Player for her
outstanding play, and was also a third team All-
American for her 0.48 goals against average
and her 14 shutouts.
Hixon thought that the 1992 version of UMass
hockey was a special one.
"I think what separates this year's team is
their maturity," she said. "Everybody enjoys
each other on the team. They've dealt with
every distraction for three months. They're qual-
ity people. They have really handled everything
extremely well."

The attitude of some athletic teams is "it
doesn't get any better than this." For the
University of Massachusetts men's soccer
team, however, the 1992 season is a prom-
ising sign of things to come.
The Minutemen ended the season at the
Atlantic 10 Championship game, succumb-
ing to eventual champ West Virginia Uni-
versity, 1-0 in penalty kicks. UMass head
coach Sam Koch, named the A- 10 Co-Coach
of the Year, led the players to the team's
first win ever in the post-season tourna-
ment, a 2-1 victory over host Rutgers Uni-
versity.
UMass was powered by a balanced scor-
ing attack throughout the season, with
junior Randy Jacobs leading the team in
scoring. Jacobs was a two-time winner of
the A- 10 Player of the Week award, as well
as a first team All-Conference player.
Junior Justin Edelman and freshman
Colin Johnson added to the offensive punch
of the Minutemen. Edelman provided both
the scoring and the playmaking for the
potent offense, while Johnson's play earned
him the A- 10 Freshman of the Week award
twice during the season.
UMass had to overcome adversity mid-
way through the season, when, in the 5-2
win against Hofstra University, co-captain
Shawn Bleau's final season was cut short.
Bleau's leg was broken, leaving a huge hole
in the midfield for the Minutemen.
Koch called for the players to step up, and
they did. Sophomore Mike Doyle took con-
trol of the ball on both ends. Juniors Todd
Kylish, Chris Merrill, and Matt Edgerly
raised their playing levels another notch as
each contributed to filling the void left by
Bleau's injury.
Co-captain Kylish was a stalwart when it
came to defense. His effort was rewarded
when he was named to the All-Conference
Second Team. Merrill and Edgerly took
turns playing Bleau's position, and each
performed to the pinnacle of his ability,
which added to UMass' already diverse
attack.
The biggest factor for UMass this past
season was the defense. Sophomore goal-
keeper Mark Wolf provided outstanding
play between the pipes, and junior Ted
Priestly, the fiery defensive back, usually
found himself shutting down the biggest
scoring threat on the opposition.
In a roller coaster season, the men's soc-
cer team showed signs of excellence as well
as inexperience. The entire starting line-
up, including key reserves, will return next
season for another run at the A- 10 Cham-
pionship, and quite possibly the first trip to
the NCAAs for the Minutemen.

Kicking Up a Storm
When University of Massachu-
setts women's soccer team defender
Holly Hellmuth walked off the field
for the final time in her collegiate
career, follo%ving a 2-1 loss to the
University of Hartford, she appeared
a little stunned.
The loss in the NCAA
quarterfinals ended the brilliant ca-
reer of the two-time All-American,
unfortunately for Hellmuth just one
big play away from the Final Four.
UMass took a 1-0 lead into the
half, to the surprise of the 2,200 fans
in attendance. But in the second half,
a relentless Hawk attack finally over-
whelmed UMass and the
Minutewomen finished the season
16-4.
For Hellmuth and fello\v seniors
Kim Eynard, Carrie Keeper, and Lisa
Mickelson, their four-year journey
ended — despite 57 career victories
— one short of their ultimate goal.
"It's a difficult way to end it," said
Hellmuth. "We wanted to keep play-
ing, to go to the Final Four, but even
with the loss w^e have accomplished
so much together."
Indeed, the accomplishments are
numerous: four season's with 12 or
more victories, four season's being
ranked in the top seven nationally,
three NCAA appearances, two trips
to the quarterfinals, and scores of
individual awards. More importantly
though, for the four seniors, was their
role in sustaining UMass women's
soccer as one of the premier soccer
programs in the nation.
"These four (Hellmuth, Eynard,
Koeper, and Mickelson) were my first
recruiting class and, to date, my best,"
Coach Jim Rudy said. "I owe them an
awful lot for their contributions as
both players and people."
The Minutewomen streaked
out to an 11-0 record and a No. 5
national ranking w^ith victories over
nationally ranked teams such as
Washington, William and Mary, St.
Mary's, Rutgers, and Cornell.
After suffering through a brief
slump where they dropped three of
four contests (including hard-fought
loses to Connecticut and Hartford),
th: Minutewomen rallied and with
an it pressive stretch run, high-
lighted by road- wins over Top 10
sqLj'ids Central Florida and South-
ern Methodist, earned their tenth
ATHLETICS
NCAA bid in 11 seasons.
UMass was lead by the defense,
spearheaded by Hellmuth, Koeper,
Mickelson, and sophomore Heidi
Kocher, and superlative goaltending
by juniors Skye Eddy and Brianna
Scurry. Juniors Paula Wilkins and
Amy Trunk were strong at midfield
while on the attack, and Eynard ( 12
goals) led a young front line.
"I'm very proud of this team,"
Rudy said. "We weren't the most
skillful team around, but no one out-
worked us. We earned every bit of
our success and a large part of that
goes to the play and leadership of our
seniors."

Walking through the halls of
Totman Gymnasium on any week-
end night, one might hear the clash-
ing of blades and the thumping of
feet. Undoubtedly, it's the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts fencing team.
All of their practicing finally paid off
with an exciting, although contro-
versial, second-place finish in the
Ne\v England Championships.
The fencing team began its long
and turbulent history in the year
1931, making it the oldest club sport
at the University. Throughout the
61 years since its
founding, the team
has enjoyed many
happy times and en-
dured its share of
hardships.
For most of the
1980s and the 1990s,
the team experienced
an unproductive pe-
riod. Many other
schools and clubs
that had once jumped at the chance
to fence the club no longer consid-
ered it a worthwhile challenge. For-
tunately, a change was on the hori-
zon. In stepped senior history major
Edward Roaf.
He took over the reins of the fail-
ing team in the fall of 1990 w^hen he
became the team's president. A head
coach was hired, the finances were
audited, and the first novice team
was instituted in the spring of 1992.
The club is now more than 50 mem-
bers strong and keeps grow^ing each
semester.
The team competed in varsity
and NCAA invitationals against
schools such as Boston College,
Brandeis University, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology , and the Uni-
versity of Buffalo.
The UMass fencing team finished the
season with a bid at the New England
Championships. The members turned
in the best season that the club has
ever seen.

"UMass fencing
regains status in
the eyes of New
England coaches"
In the New England finals, at the
University of New^ Hampshire, the
men's team finished an outstanding
second, redeeming their sixth place
of last year. They were edged out by
Brow^n University in the last bout
because of a questionable call by the
director.
Freshman sensation Jason
Trunnell scored what he thought was
the -winning touch of the day. UMass
was elated as Brown looked on in
disbelief. Yet the director said he
called halt to stop the bout well be-
fore the touch.
Trunnell's point
would have given
UMass the title of
New England
Champion, but it
was nullified. The
next stop in action
proved Brown the
victor by an overall
score of 14-13.
The women's
team traveled to
Wellesley College the next day and
improved from their last year's fin-
ish by ending the day in fifth. The
women posted a 9-7 -win over both
Bro-wn and the Amherst/Hampshire
unified team, but lost to UNH by two
bouts, with a score of 7-9.
Overall, team records and perfor-
mances improved, a new^ novice team
was established as last semester's
novice team gained status, and the
name of UMass fencing has regained
status in the eyes of New^ England
coaches.
The strong spirit, pride, and dedi-
cation of the team is exemplified in
its -winning record. With each year
we salute our graduates and w^el-
come ne-w members.

Tailgating:
Thing to Do
Thousands of students and
alumni exercised their newly-re-
stored right to drink alcohol at foot-
ball games, although some wondered
whether it was the beer or the game
that drew record crowds to Warren
McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
"It's the biggest party around,"
said Steve Mann, a senior plant and
soil sciences major, agreeing with
his fellow tailgaters on a particular
Saturday afternoon.
Tailgate parties are nothing new^
at UMass. The practice of standing
around in the parking lot drinking
beer prior to an athletic event is an
old one, banned only in 1988. At that
time Chancellor Joseph Duffy re-
sponded to the local violence sur-
rounding the 1986 World Series,
where (mostly White) Red Sox fans
clashed with (predominantly Black)
Mets fans.
Despite vigorous protests made
by thirsty sports fans, the ban lasted
four years. Requests from alumni
and other University football buffs
finally brought about an experimen-
tal restoration of drinking rights for
the 1992 season. It worked, and the
ban was entirely lifted.
Now a stroll through "E" lot out-
side the stadium reveals row upon
row^ of cars, pickup trucks, and recre-
ational vehicles with stereos blar-
ing, grills blazing, and people guz-
zling. The price of admission for one
car is $5.00, which includes a large
plastic recycling bag, designed to re-
duce litter.
An important factor behind the
lifting of the ban was a desire to
increase attendance at the games.
Kay Scanlon, of the University News
Office, said there w^ere about 2,000
tailgates at homecoming weekend,
and turnout at the other games was
also high. But the parking lot festivi-
ties tend to continue w^ell into the
first half of the game, she said.
"There has been a continual prob-
lem of people not leaving (the lots)
duringthe game," Scanlon said. "Tail-
gating is supposed to be t^vo hours
before the game, and one hour after,
but the lots just don't clear out."
Head Coach Mike Hodges said he
thinks attendance at the games in-
creased as a result of tailgating, and
that many people who originally went
just for the tailgating became inter-
ested in football w^hen they saw^ the
game in progress.
"I'd never been to a game before
tailgating started, and it's made me
realize w^hat I've been missing. I've
gotten a lot more interested in the
games," said Jennifer Knudsen, a
junior school of management major.
"If they come down once they'll
come back. Our team is great to
w^atch, and this season has been ex-
cellent from a fan's standpoint. I
think tailgating has let a lot of people
realize that," said Hodges.

utemen were a team without a
leader and could not possibly
compete in the highly competi-
tive Yankee Conference. The
critics claimed it ^vould be a
rebuilding year for the "youth-
ful and inexperienced" Minute-
men.
But, the critics were \vrong.
Behind a tenacious defense and
an inspired offense led by fresh-
man quarterback Andrew
McNeilly and tailback Rene
Ingoglia, the Minutemen rolled
to an impressive 7-3 record
under first-year Head Coach
Mike Hodges, taking the Yan-
kee Conference and all of Divi-
sion lAA by surprise.
"I'm really proud of you
guys," said Hodges. "We didn't
quit all year long and we re-
fused to give up. There w^asn't
anyone who expected us to be
seven and three this year."
In his first collegiate start.
Ingoglia trudged through tor-
rential rain and heavy mud for
148 yards on 33 carries, earn-
ing the Rochester, NY native
Yankee Conference Rookie-of-
the-Week honors. Behind
Ingoglia's herculean effort,
UMass downed Boston Univer-
sity 30-28 before a home crowd
of 5,846.
Week four saw the Minute-
men hit the road again, travel-
ing to Kingston, RI to take on
the University of Rhode Island.
This time it was McNeilly's turn
to cop Rookie-of-the-Week hon-
ors, as UMass trounced the
Rams 32-7, upping their record
to 3-1.
Week eight saw the Min-
utemen travel south to Rich-
mond, VA to take on the Uni-
versity of Richmond and a re-
union with Jim Reid, no-w de-
fensive coordinator for the Spi-
ders. With both teams locked
in a second place tie in the
Yankee Conference and fight-
ing for NCAA playoff bids, the
game had a playoff aura, as the
Minutemen held the potent
Spider offense in check all af-
ternoon, escaping Richmond
Stadium with a 17-14 victory.
UMass -was now^ in the driver's
seat for a playoff berth, need-
ing to win one of its last games
to all but secure a bid.
For the Minutemen, a sea-
son ending road-trip to
Durham, NH -would decide their
playoff fate: a loss -would send
them home, a -win and it -would
be on to the NCAA playoffs.
The clock struck midnight
for the Cinderella Minutemen
on that cold November day, as
a late fourth quarter UMass
drive stalled five feet short of
the goaline, sending UMass
packing -with a 20-13 defeat at
the hands of the Wildcats.
The Minutemen missed out
on the 1992 NCAA playoffs,
but fought their -way through
the season on sheer will and a
ton of heart. UMass football
fans certainly have a reason to
look for-ward to 1993-94, and
hopefully, the NCAA playoffs.

What a
RACKET!
Despite finishing its season with
I consecutive losses to New England
rivals Providence College and the
University of Connecticut, the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts women's
I tennis team sho-wed great potential
I in its first season since budget cuts
I forced the team into a one-year hia-
I tus.
UMass finished the year at 3-3, the
I record Head Coach Judy Dixon pre-
I dieted for the season's end.
"In the beginning of the year I
I looked at our schedule and I thought
I that w^e would finish at 3-3," Dixon
said. "Near the end I thought we
■ even had a shot at 4-2, but we didn't
I make it."
The Minutewomen just missed 4-2
vw^ith the losses at Providence and
lUConn. In spite of that, Dixon said
I that the team shows promise.
"I think our future looks very posi-
I tive," Dixon said. "I think that w^e
are one or two players short at the
top from being an excellent Division
I program."
Against Providence the
Minute^vomen fell 8-1. The one bright
spot was No. 1 singles freshman phe-
nomenon Liesl Sitton, w^ho polished
off her opponent 6-2, 6-1.
Down at Storrs, CT the
Minutewomen had their chance but
were unable to come away with a
victory against the experience-laden
Huskies. Dixon said she was not
pleased with her team's 7-2 defeat.
"I am a bit disappointed in (UMass')
performances in certain instances,"
Dixon said. "We need to have more
confidence coming in and w^e have
got to play more aggressively."
Sitton suffered her first and only
defeat of the year to UConn's No. 1,
wily veteran Ellen Barrett. Barrett,
who won the New England Champi-
onship in the fall, made few mis-
takes and came out on top 6-4, 7-5.
The tw^o w^inning points for UMass
came in singles competition.
Minutewoman Stacey Scheckner
beat UConn's No. 4 Maude Bing, 6-3,
6-3. The other ^vinner for UMass
was No. 6 Kelly Grim. Grim, a se-
nior, made her sw^an song a w^inning
tune as she blasted UConn's Kristen
Prioa 6-1, 6-3.
In doubles competition UMass was
swept aw^ay by UConn 3-0. Sitton
and her partner at No. 1 doubles,
Lesley Watts, fell in a close match to
Ellen Barrett and Chur Sharnia, 6-
4, 7-5. At No. 2 doubles UMass'
Scheckner and Pam Levine fell in
straight sets.
UMass' No. 3 doubles team, Alyssa
Cohen and Kelly Grim, were down a
set but rallying when Grim injured
her ankle chasing dow^n a ball, forc-
ing a UMass forfeit.

By now, most people on campus
have surely heard about the Sweet
Sixteen season turned in during 1992
by the University of Massachusetts
men's basketball team. Stick around
long enough, and you will also hear
about the invincibility of our other
sports teams. Certainly, no one will
argue that our campus is a stranger
to athletic excellence.
However, most undergraduates
are under no illusion of their own
grandeur. No matter how well they
shoot foul shots, chances are slim
that Coach Cal will come calling.
Thus, many high school sports en-
thusiasts are left no other athletic
option than to fade into obscurity.
But take heart, athletes! Officials
at the University's Intramural Of-
fice say it doesn't have to be that
way.
Dr. Franklin C. Wright, director
of intramurals, Zulma C. Garcia,
associate director of intramurals, and
Kristie Delbrugge, assistant direc-
tor of intramurals, agree that if stu-
dents are looking for an activity or
even a career, the Intramurals Of-
fice in Boyden Gymnasium is a good
place to start.
"We have a 'sport for everyone,
and everyone for a sport' mentality
here," said Garcia. "One of my big-
gest goals is student development.
We've had many people from the
University graduate and become of-
ficials as a result of their experiences
here. It's a good way to get career
experience."
Deb Janik, a senior exercise
science major, began her association
w^ith the program four years ago.
"I played in volleyball tourna-
ments in high school, and I just con-
tinued because I enjoy the sport,"
Janik said. "This is a good program,
because it provides a chance to play
competitively w^ithout being on a col-
legiate squad."
Students can form their o-wn

teams or join organized teams, and
participate in activities such as flag
football, soccer, tennis, badminton,
racquetball, track and field, ice
hockey, volleyball, squash, wrestling,
basketball, and Softball.
Teams are divided into three cat-
egories — men, \vomen, and co-rec.
Each category of each sport crowns a
champion at the conclusion of five
weeks of competitive play.
Amy Chee, a senior mechanical
engineering major who has played
intramural volleyball for four years,
said she enjoys the competition and
peer interaction which the intramu-
ral program affords to students.
"The program is pretty good, and
you get to know a lot of people," said
Chee. "You see the same people hack-
ing around. It's fun to play against
them, too. And if you can't play var-
sity, you might as -well play
intramurals."
Garcia estimates that approxi-
mately 50 percent of male under-
graduates, 20 percent of female un-
dergraduates, and five percent of
graduates and faculty take part in
intramural activities.
"I think it's critical that we let
new students know that, hey, we
have an intramural program here,"
Wright said. "We want students to
step up and stop by 215 Boyden so
they kno'w we exist and they see
what we have to offer."

Champions,
Again!!!
At the beginning of the 1992-93 season, Coach John
Cahpari warned fans of the University of Massachusetts men's
basketball team not to base their expectations on the previous
year's successes. By the end of the season, the 92-93 Minutemen
had their own success story.
The Minutemen, who ended the season 24-7, repeated as
Atlantic 10 Conference tournament champions and returned to
the NCAA Tournament — both program firsts — and moved into
the William D. Mullins Memorial Center, a new on-campus home
site twice the size of the venerable Curry Hicks Cage.
But with UMass' newfound respect and acclaim came a
much more challenging non-conference schedule, including road
stops at Florida State and Oklahoma, and home games against
Southwest Louisiana and Cincinnati. It also meant the Minute-
men could no longer sneak up on the opposition: now UMass
games were circled on the opposition's calendars well ahead of
time.
As a result the Minutemen didn't blow teams out of the
water. Instead, they found themselves coming
from behind and pulling out last-second victo-
ries, and from that oft-repeated scenario came
UMass' team slogan: "Refuse to Lose."
It all started when Harper Williams broke
his hand in practice during January, just before
the Abdow's Hall of Fame Tournament in Spring-
field. Rumors flew that he was out for the year,
and losses to Cincinnati and Temple followed.
But Mike Williams swished a last-second three-
point shot at Rutgers, giving UMass a victory
and coining the "Refuse to Lose" slogan.
Come-from -behind victories against West
Virginia and George Washington ( another Mike
Williams three at the buzzer), and a last-second
win over Temple at the Cage (featuring the
return of Harper Williams), were the highlights
of a 12-game winning streak that took the Min-
utemen from 6-4 to 18-4. New England rival
Rhode Island ended the streak with a 71-68 win
that saw Mike Williams finally miss a game-
ending three-pointer.
From there the Minutemen cruised to
the A- 10 title, losing once more at West Virginia
before polishing off St. Bonaventure and St.
Joseph's at home.
The A- 10 Tournament began on an aus-
picious note with a- 75-61 -win over St.
Bonaventure. Inspired wins over Rhode Island
in the semi-finals and Temple in the A-10 Cham-
pionship game, played before a -wild crowd at
the Mullins Center, vaulted UMass into the
third seed in the East bracket of the NCAA for
the second consecutive year.
But that's where the magic ran out. A
listless-looking Minutemen team survived a
scare from 14th-seeded Pennsylvania, 54-50 in
the first round. The second round wasn't as
kind, as Virginia dominated UMass in the first
half, and withstood a furious second-half rally
to end the Minutemen's season, 71-56. Get set
for next year!

Rebounding
and
Rebuilding
With all the media attention Coach John
Calipari and his troops have gotten recently,
it's easy to overlook the -women's basketball
team, led by second-year coach Joanie
O'Brien. But if you've underestimated the
talent on this team based on their record in
the past few seasons, be forewarned: this
group is on the rise.
At the beginning of the 1992-1993 sea-
son, skeptics pointed to the previous year,
w^hen the team went 4-24 overall and 0-14 in
the Atlantic 10 division, and declared the
Minutewomen were in for a long and
unfulfilling season. Surprise ! The critics w^ere
wrong. The team went 11-15 overall, and 6-
8 in the A-10, with some memorable perfor-
mances along the way.
"Our biggest high points -were beating St.
Joe's (65-56) and West Virginia (76-68) back-
to-back at home," said O'Brien. "UMass had
never beaten St. Joe's before, and they were
picked to win the A-10. And West Virginia is
al-ways good, so it was nice to get those back-
to-back."
How were the Minutewomen able to come
so quickly back to respectability after a few
successive lean years? O'Brien identifies the
emergence of four freshmen as the primary
reason. By early February, four rookies —
guard Kim Gregory, center Melissa Gurile,
guard Tricia Hopson, and forward Octavia
Thomas — joined senior power forward Kim
Kristofik in the starting line-up.
O'Brien specifically praised Gurile, the
team's leading scorer ( 14 ppg) and rebounder
(8.3 rpg) who made the A-10 All-Rookie team,
and Thomas, the third-leading scorer (13.6
ppg) and second-leading rebounder (8. 1 rpg),
for heading the charge toward respectabil-
ity.
"These are the t^vo kids who really stepped
up more than I thought they w^ould," she
said. "They have a chance to start every
game in their careers here."
Veterans like Kristofik appreciate the
life the new players have brought to the
team, and believe the program is on the rise.
"It was nice this year, because we had a
lot of people who could do the scoring, so
that's why I think we're so much better this
year than in the past," said Kristofik. "This
year we garnered a lot of respect that we
might not otherwise have had. This is the
best season UMass has had since I've been
here, and I can only see it continuing."
O'Brien said that, as good as her team is
now, her class of incoming recruits w^ill make
it even more dangerous. She hopes the four
newcomers — Sabriya Mitchell, Alkanease
Garrett, Crystal Carroll, and Beth Kuzmeski
— will help the team make a "big jump" next
season.
"I don't know^ if they're going to rank this
(recruiting) class, but I think they're legiti-
mately one of the top 20 classes in the na-
tion," said O'Brien. "I think George
Washington's class was ranked No. 5, and I
wouldn't trade one of my four for any of the
kids they've got."
O'Brien urges fans to get their seats on
the bandwagon now.
"I think next season we're going to have
a very entertaining team, and I think we're
going to be in every game we play," she said.
"So if everyone does what they're capable of,
I think it'll give us an opportunity to w^in,
which is all you can ask for."

The University of Massa-
chusetts men's basketball team
has just finished its most suc-
cessful two seasons ever. The
Minutemen went 24-7 for the
year, they won the Atlantic 10
Conference's regular season
and post-season titles, and ad-
vanced to the second round of
the NCAA Tournament.
But for some reason, there
is no aura of good feeling on the
Amherst campus after this sea-
son. For some reason, the fans
expected more.
It's a Monday morning, and
the third floor of the William D.
Mullins Center is bustling. At
10:00 in the morning, the bas-
ketball office is already focused
on the next season. Head Coach
John Calipari is decked-out in
a Hawaiian shirt and has the
look of a well-rested man.
Index: "Now that you've
had time to look back and think
about it, did the team go as far
as you expected?"
John Calipari: "Yeah, I
think we did. You know, the
thing about this team was they
knew how to \vin. We didn't
dominate teams, we just won
games. We've w^on more come-
from-behind games this year
than all other teams that I've
coached.
"There ^veren't many one-
sided victories, but I'll tell you
what — w^e did it w^ithout
Harper Williams for nine
games, and without Mike Wil-
liams for five games. Those kind
of injuries can hurt you, and
this team w^asn't deep, so it's
quite an accomplishment."
Index: "What was the big-
gest victory of the year in your
mind?"
Calipari: "Probably the
Temple game in the A-10
Championship (w^hich the Min-
utemen won 86-82). It was big
because it w^as Temple at their
strongest. We beat them at their
best.
"That is the one team in my
five years that we've had a los-
ing record against. Everybody
else w^e have a winning record
except Temple. . . It was the
first time we beat them twice in
one year, and only the third
time ever.
"At the time, I thought the
Rutgers win (on January 12 in
New Jersey) was the biggest in
my career, because it straight-
ened a ship that was ready to
sink."
Index: "Do you think the
opening of the Mullins Center
contributed to UMass' image of
a big time program? Why?"
Calipari: "Yes, mainly for
television's sake. When you're
showing a building on national
TV, you're talking about an im-
pressive sight. It played a big
part in our perception.
"You try to take a big-time
approach, but you can't do
things with the Cage that we
can now do with the Mullins.
Sooner or later, you need that
kind of support."
Index: "Talk about the se-
niors (Tony Barbee, Harper
Williams, Kennard Robinson,
and Tommy Pace) and how you
will miss them on and off the
court."
Calipari: "What you've got
is a group that has never had a
losing season. They've w^on
more basketball games than
any other group here, ever.
They've gone to four consecu-
tive post-season tournaments.
They were the first group to
win the A-10 league, but that's
not all.
"You lose the personalities.
The way they handled them-
selves w^as exemplary. They're
all classy young men, and they
understood they're a small part
of a big campus.
"They've all improved aca-
demically, and they've handled
their classes w^ell. These young
men academically set the tone.
All four should graduate, al-
though they may need summer
school, a couple of them might.
But what Kennard Robinson
did in the classroom made a
statement after getting under
700 on the SAT."
Index: "Last year you went
to the State House to lobby for
more funds for the school. This
year you're trying to get the
University to build up the li-
brary. What makes you feel re-
sponsible for things like this off
the court?"
Calipari: "Well, the main
thing is that I'm able to do it.
It's almost a responsibility that
any employee has. If I'm in a
position to help my employer
and my company, I'm going to
do that. Everybody should.
"I've given to the library
every year I've been here. It's a
way of giving back. If a profes-
sor who had notoriety for a
Pulitzer Prize was in the lime-
light, he should do the same
thing. . .
"I said to President Hooker,
the University can grow only if
the library grows. How can we
have a top 20 University if our
library is 160 out of 180 state
schools?"
ATHLETICS
Index: "Do you think this year was the
toughest coaching job you've ever had? Com-
pare it with the Sweet 16 club."
Calipari: "Lastyear was tougher. This year,
I'm ready to go. I'm not happy with the way the
season ended, that's part of it. They'll be a -whole
new team next year, absolutely a new era.
"The era of Jim McCoy and Harper Williams
has ended. Last year I was exhausted, I looked
at a picture of myself, and I looked awful. I was
starting to speak and doing everything for the
campus as well as coaching.
"This year I've added my show (Channel 22's
John Calipari Show) and I thought we did a
good job. I'm real excited about next year."
Index: "What do you want people to remem-
ber about this team 10 or 20 years down the
road?"
Calipari: "They were kids who knew how to
win. There are no draft picks on this team, but
they're all unselfish. The senior leadership was
incredible, which is what I worry about for next
year."

During the past few years, the
UMass equestrian program has un-
dergone some beneficial changes.
Perhaps most importantly, the team's
headquarters were moved from
Tilson Farm to the brand new facili-
ties at Hadley Farm. With more
stalls, more fields for turn-out, larger
arenas (both in- and outdoor), and
more spectator room, the team and
the academic curriculum have flour-
ished.
More than 60 competitors try-out
every September in order to fill the
20 team positions. This fierce compe-
tition makes for an intense begin-
ning to a successful season. But after
the team is chosen, the members pull
together to form -what always be-
comes a close-knit group of riders.
Wendy Ciccu w^as named the new^
coach of the team. She led the mem-
bers from their first competition at
Smith College all the way through to
the highest level of intercollegiate
competition — the Nationals, held
this year in Ohio. Ramona Petrillo,

A Final
II
With the opening of the Mullins Center, the
years ahead are full of promise for Minutemen
basketball. But whatever happens in the team's
ne\v home in the years ahead, avid hoop fans
know one thing: it will never quite be the same
as playing in the Cage.
Love it or hate it, the Curry Hicks Cage had
a flavor and excitement all its own. Intimate,
and at times stiflingly hot and loud, throughout
its 62-year history the Cage gave new meaning
to the "home court advantage."
Witness to the heyday of the legendary Julius
Erving as well as many years of losing seasons,
the Cage ivas UMass hoop. Fe-w can claim to
know the Cage as well as former Head Coach
Jack Leaman, who led the team from 1966-
1979.
"The Cage was the best place in New En-
gland," said Leaman. "It was packed every night
and we had very knowledgeable fans. It was an
intimidating court."
With Dr. J on the court, the Cage was the
place to be.
"During Erving's time the Cage would lock
its doors at 4:30 p.m., so the dining commons
would make Cage survival kits with fruit, chips,
sandwiches, and a drink for people w^ho were
going to the game," said Leaman.
That's not to say the building didn't have its
quirks. Leaman recalled one particular game
against Boston College.
"Snow that had settled on the glass ceiling
formed a rain cloud in the Cage, and we had to
have people clear the floor when it rained," he
said.
Who can hate a building that has its own
weather systems?
But all things, good or bad, come to an end.
On January 29, 1993 at 11:59 p.m., the Minute-
men played their final game in the Cage against,
appropriately enough, the Ragin' Cajuns of
Southwest Louisiana.
"It's all over" was the theme of the night, as
4,058 fans watched the Minutemen trounce the
Cajuhs, 84-74, and the Cage was victoriously
put to rest.

Making a Big Splash
^oooooa>^o<)ocococ^ax)(>^
In a collegiate sport, talent alone
isn't usually enough to capture the
success that a team seeks. For the
University of Massachusetts
women's swimming and diving team,
success came from several contribut-
ing factors.
Talent combined with optimism,
and perseverance was part of the
equation that allowed the team to
improve over previous years. By fus-
ing hard ^vork and dedication, the
women capped off their season with
a fantastic dual meet record of 7-4,
and proved their worth as a top New
England team.
The Minutewomen's prosperous
season directly reflects the success of
the program and coaching staff. The
hard work and dedication of Head
Coach Robert S. Newcomb and As-
sistant Coaches Edward Melanson
and James Sweeney spurred the
team's athletic, mental, and academic
development.
Overall, the Minute women placed
fourth in the much targeted New
England Championship, fifth in the
Atlantic 10, and tenth in the largest
of them all, the Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference.
Other season highlights include
winning the Lake Worth Invitational
in Florida. The Minutewomen also
defeated six-time New England
Champion Boston College in a meet
that went do-wn in history as being
the first time that UMass women's
swimming prevailed over the Eagles.
And in their season-ending dual
meet, the women broke the colossal
200-point barrier -when they defeated
the University of New Hampshire by
a giant 110 points.
The Minutewomen proved to hold
depth and strength in all events, as
several individuals sought career-
best times. Records fell in the 400-
yard medley relay and the 200-yard
butterfly. The new 400-MR record
was set by senior Kari Ed-wardsen,
freshman Jessica Griffith, junior
Julie Veremey, and senior Lori
Sheehan. The 200-fly record, broken
by Ve' emy, was bound to fall once
Coach Newcomb had recruited the
explosive transfer from Brown Uni-
veiGity.
Performance leader of the diving
squad, junior Allison White, graced
the A-lOs, securing a third place fin-
"^
ish on both the one- and three-meter
springboards. In the New Englands,
her finesse sailed her to an impres-
sive second place in the one-meter
and a place in the Zone National
diving competition.
The MostValuable Player awards
went to the team's star diver, White,
and the star breaststroker, Griffith.
Most Improved was awarded to jun-
ior Kate Riddell, and the
Minutewomen Award, given by the
coaches to someone who has "gone
above and beyond," was awarded to
Teresa "Calvin" Konieczny.
Sadly, the Minutewomen bid fare-
well to the three graduating seniors:
co-captain Edwardsen, backstroke;
co-captain Konieczny, distance; and
Sheehan, freestyle sprinter. The
Minutewomen are a group on the
rise, and should prove to be one
UMass team to keep your eyes on.

anging the
Competition
Out to Dry
The University of Massa-
chusetts men's swimming team
ended yet another spectacular
season by blowing the Univer-
sity of Connecticut out of the
water at the New England
Swimming and Diving Cham-
pionships, picking up a seventh
consecutive title.
Head Coach Russ Yarworth
praises the men for their hard
work and depth of talent
throughout the season.
"The entire team did incred-
ible. It was teamwork that won
the New Englands. Our fans
really kept us going and by the
end of the competition, UConn
was very quietly licking their
wounds -while our fans rooted
us on to a -well deserved vic-
tory," said Yarworth.
The Minutemen swam to
an 11-1 dual meet finish, send-
ing their spectacular record for
the last eight seasons soaring
to 90-7. The team not only won
the New Englands, but also
placed second in the Atlantic
10 Championship and third at
the Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference.
On their way to such an
impressive finish, the team set
one freshman record, six var-
sity records, and five Ne^v En-
gland records.
The Minuteman Award for
hard work and dedication was
presented to Jeff Wicklund; Jeff
Shearstone received the Most
Improved Aw^ard; and the Most
Valuable Player A^vard ^vent
to Jay Peluso, vi^hose talent
shone through in the 200- meter
Individual Medley where he
broke four records.
The men's swimming team

Meymaris, Joe Morris, Jay
Peluso, and Scott Reed. Good
luck to all the men next year!

The University of Massa-
chusetts men's water polo team
finished their best season yet
^vith a last second defeat at the
hands of Navy during the East-
ern Championships.
"This year's team continued
to go the extra mile and im-
prove. Past years, the sheer
talent was there but the atti-
tude was not. This year, we had
both and that is why we made it
to the semi-finals," said Head
Coach Russ Yarworth.
The game against Navy
proved that these men are an
up-and-coming team. With a
tenth of a second remaining on
the clock. Navy threw a final
desperation shot. With the ball
floating on the line, the official
ruled a goal for Navy, 10-9.
Although the team mem-
bers did not go on to the Na-
tional Championships, their in-
dividual effort and constant im-
provement deserves applause.
The team now ranks 16th in
the nation, with an impressive
career record of 21-3.
Tasan Engin and Javier
Gonzalez advanced to both the
All New England First Team
and the All East Second Team,
and Scott Reed also competed
with the First New^ England
Team. Javier Gonzalez won the
New^ England League Mpst
Valuable Player aw^ard, and Jay
Peluso received Honorable
Mention.
The team will miss seniors
Scott Deluca, co-captain Dan
McOsker, Jay Peluso, and co-
captain Scott Reed. But
Yarw^orth said newcomers
Francisco Mariani and
Alexander Mujica stepped up
to take their places in the team
right a^vay, and he seems con-
fident about next season.
The new team is expected to
be as good, and perhaps even
better, than the 1992-1993 men.
But there's no doubt about it, if
they're half as good as these
guys, it's going to be a great
season.

The UMass ski team is the
University Athletic
Department's best kept secret.
Despite its low profile, the team
has seen top finishes in all of
their races. UMass competes
in the Osborne League of the
Eastern Collegiate (ECSC)
against teams such as Boston
College, Smith College, and the
University of Connecticut.
The competitions are week-
end events consisting of a day
of slalom and a day of giant
slalom racing. Both the
w^omen's and men's teams fin-
ished the season -with silver
medals overall in the Osborne
League, and seniors Bill
Schaefer and John Soglia
placed first and ninth, respec-
tively, in the individual compe-
tition.
The strength of the women's
team is its ability to always
have several racers finish in
the top seed. Led by seniors J.J.
Tanguay, , co-captain Debbie
Adams, Dana Breslau junior
Beth Martin, and sophomore
Kyri Sparks, the women usu-
ally finish in the top 15, out of
80 racers.
Although the team is gradu-
ating several top members, in
the future it will be lead by
younger racers such as junior
Kim Lombardi, and freshmen
Jodi Tanguay, Meredith
Kotanchik, Heather Olsen, and
Lisa Pyenson.
The men's team also had
top finishes in all of their events.
For t'le first time ever, a single
person won every event all sea-
son long. This w^as accom-
plished by UMass superstar Bill
Schaefer, who transferred from
the University of Wyoming
w^hen its alpine program w^as
canceled.
Follow^ing first-place fin-
ishes by Schaefer, the men's
team w^as powered by senior
captain John Soglia and senior
Matt Griffing. Sophomores Joel
Bradford, Terry Retelle, Peter
Hurlbut, and freshmen David
Harrington, Paul Giammattei,
Tyler Gannon, and Brian
Lenarczyk also fueled the team
to top finishes.
UMass traveled to the
NCAA Championships at
Middlebury College, Vermont,
where they competed against
the top schools in the nation.
Schaefer took the opportunity
to ski faster than ever to take
home two bronze medals , quali-
fying for the NCAA Nationals
in Steamboat Springs, Colo-
rado.
At the national level,
Schaefer turned in the best re-
sults UMass has ever seen at
such a competition. In the gi-
ant slalom event, he finished
sixth against top recruited rac-
ers from schools in Utah, Ver-
mont, Colorado, and Alaska.
Although Schaefer fell dur-
ing the slalom run, his excel-
lent giant slalom result got him
named to the All American
Men's Second Team, one of only
14 men across the nation. These
results concluded the UMass
1992-1993 season, making
Massachusetts a team to w^atch
in years to come.

bove the Ground
After fighting an uphill battle her
entire gymnastics career, Tammy
Marshall achieved perfection, scor-
ing a 10 on her final floor routine in
NCAA competition and winning her
share of the national championship.
Marshall, a Hicksville, NY native
and a senior at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, competed
in the NCAA nationals for the third
consecutive year, and was named a
national champion for the second
year in a row.
Despite the tremendous success she
found in college, many people never
expected Marshall to reach such
heights, after a serious knee injury
almost put an end to her gymnastics
career.
While competing in the floor exer-
cise in her sophomore year of high
school, Marshall tore ligaments and
cartilage in her knee, forcing her to
leave the mat for an extended period
of time.
"(After surgery) I was on crutches
for six months, so I couldn't be in the
gym. I w^as devastated," she said.
"The previous six months were prob-
ably the best six months of my ca-
reer. It was the summer before the
Olympics, and I was really training
hard."
Marshall said that before she was
injured, she discussed with her par-
ents moving away from home that
summer and training in a better fa-
cility in preparation for the Olym-
pics. However, the plans went astray
when the injury occurred.
"As soon as it happened, I was
quitting gymnastics. I was never
doing it again. I was never going
back into the gym. But, I was right
back in. (Gymnastics) is a sport that
is so addictive you just don't outgrow
it," said Marshall.
When she made the decision to
rehabilitate her knee and come back
to the gym, Marshall said the only
way she could continue competing
with her club was on the "elite" level,
where she was before the injury.
How^ever, her club coaches wanted to
drop her a level, which Marshall took
as an insult.
Therefore, she decided to focus on
collegiate gymnastics, a decision that
changed her entire career.
"My parents sat me down and told
me that they would pay for my school
and that I didn't have to do gymnas-
tics anymore if I didn't w^ant to," said
Marshall. "I couldn't go to college
without returning the thanks, the
dedication, the commitment that my
parents made to me without getting
a full scholarship to repay them."
So Marshall ended up at UMass,
which at the time was not known for
gymnastics. The program had
Mitchell, a first-year coach at the
time, and offered a full scholarship,
which was what interested Marshall.
All she needed w^as a chance, and
Mitchell said he had nothing to lose
in trying to get her to join the team.
"I felt it was a risk, but it was a risk
worth taking. At that time, I really
had no other options," said Mitchell.
"To have someone like her with her
past experience w^anting to come
here, it was worth the risk. Some
people didn't even look at her —
their mistake."
Now, Marshall's collegiate career
is over, and she heads off to the
World University Games trials in
Salt Lake City, UT looking for a
chance to compete in the Games this
summer in Buffalo. Marshall said
that she has accomplished everything
she ever wanted to do in college, and
that all she needed was a chance.

Before the University of
Massachusetts men's gymnas-
tics team entered the 1992-1993
season, Head Coach Roy
Johnson set goals for his team.
Johnson knew that his team
had only four starters return-
ing, and he knew that this sea-
son would be part of a rebuild-
ing process. With this in mind,
Johnson set reasonable goals,
yet unattainable without hard
work and determination.
Johnson's first goal for his
team -was to win the New En-
gland Championship. The Min-
utemen accomplished this by
scoring 248.35 points to -win
the six-team Ne-w England
Open for the fifth straight sea-
son.
The second goal -was for
UMass to finish in the top half
of the Eastern Collegiate Ath-
letic Conference Champion-
ships. The Minutemen did so
as they finished fourth in an
eight team field, scoring 242.20
points, behind Temple, Syra-
cuse, and Army.
Johnson also hoped to have
two or three men compete in
the NCAA Eastern Regional
meet. Senior co-captain Steve
Christensen (pommel horse)
and junior Jason Braud (floor
exercise and vault) achieved
this.
Lastly, Johnson wanted one
or two gymnasts to qualify for
the National Collegiate Men's
Gymnastics Championship.
Braud finished fourth in the
floor exercise at the regional
meet with a 9.625 to make him
eligible for the National meet.
The Minutemen had some
outstanding individual perfor-
mances on their -way to achiev-
ing all of these goals.
Christensen, who entered the
season as the UMass record
holder in the pommel horse with
a 9.65, tied or broke his own
record five times before scoring
a high of 9.85. Christensen re-
ceived a sub-9.00 score only
twice this season on the pom-
mel horse.
Braud shattered the UMass
record in the floor exercise with
a high score of 9.70, set against
Syracuse University. He also
became' the first UMass gym-
nast to w^in an event at the
EIGL Championships during
Johnson's 15-year-run as head
coach, as he won the floor event
with a record-tying 9.70.
Junior co-captain Jay
Santos turned out to be a con-
sistent gymnast on the UMass
squad, standing out on the par-
allel bars, floor exercise, pom-
mel horse, and vault.
The Minutemen will miss
the graduating Christensen,
one of the more successful gym-
nasts in UMass history.
Christensen is in the top five in
four events in the UMass record
book. Although he will be tough
to replace, the Minutemen have
twelve gymnasts returning
from this thirteen-man team.
With the improvement and
development of these under-
classmen, including the perfor-
mances of Braud, Santos, and
junior Jason Fox, the Minute-
men look forward to a success-
ful 1993-1994 season.

Women's Lacrosse returns
after a two year absence
i
i
Starting over — that's what the
UMass women's lacrosse team did
this spring as they returned to Divi-
sion I action after a two-season lay-
off. The w^omen were 4-10 during the
1990 season, before being cut from
the budget.
The 1993 team consisted of 26
w^omen, only three of w^hom had pre-
viously competed on the collegiate
level. In terms of experience, the
team had three second-year players,
and 23 first-year players.
The Minutew^omen gained much-
needed experience as the season pro-
gressed, playing against four of the
top 10 ranked teams in New^ En-
gland — Harvard, Dartmouth, Ver-
mont, and UNH.
Despite finishing the season w^ith a
disappointing record, the
Minutew^omen received outstanding
leadership from the six senior cap-
tains: Rachael Splaine, Melissa
Cellucci, Sam Eustace, Nancy Kane,
Juliet Midlik, and Amy Greene.
Splaine led the attack on the of-
fense, scoring 90 percent of the
Minutew^omen's goals. Splaine is
likely to return to the team as a fifth-
year senior, as she still has a year of
eligibility remaining. Cellucci, an
attack -wing, v^ras hampered by inju-
ries throughout the season, yet did a
fine job in her leadership role.
Eustace showed versatility, by play-
ing defense for the first half of the
year and sw^itching to attack for the
second half. Kane w^as the leader on
the defense, praised by the coaching
staff at the conclusion of each and
every game.
Midlik, a right attack w^ing, w^as
skillful and exceptionally fast.
Greene, the left attack w^ing, also
sho"wed tremendous speed and played
■well despite the fact that it was her
first year of lacrosse.
This season w^as the first in a re-
building process. Loaded w^ith a
strong group of freshmen and sopho-
mores, and the addition of former
Yale Head Coach Francesca
DenHartog, the Minutew^omen are
on the short road to becoming a Divi-
sion I power in women's lacrosse.

Going Ape!
with
The Gorillas
After an uncharacteristic one-year hiatus from
post-season play, the University of Massachu-
setts men's lacrosse team returned to the NCAA
Division 1 lacrosse tournament. However, the
Gorillas' first-round loss to Hofstra — a team
who handed UMass a defeat early in the regular
season — gave an otherwise sweet season a
bitter aftertaste.
Led by All-America attacker Mark Millon
and a tenuous defense, the Gorillas went 10-5
on the season, including an 8-game winning
streak and the team's first New England Cham-
I pionship since 1990. UMass climbed as high as
• seventh in the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse poll
and broke two players, Millon and fellow at-
I tacker Wes Depp, into the national scoring
I leader columns.
Coach Ted Garber, in his third year at the
I UMass helm since taking over for his legendary
father, Richard F. "Dick" Garber, won his 100th
career game early in the season, giving the
father-son pair 400 collegiate wins.
The young Garber also kept a promise to his
' father, who asked him to beat Brown. UMass,
bouncing back from a home loss to eventual
national champion Syracuse, defeated the Bru-
ins for the New England title, guaranteeing
themselves an NCAA bid in the process.
Garber's Gorillas began the season at Vir-
ginia, where they led the fifth-ranked Cavaliers
9-7 after three quarters before succumbing 10-
9. UMass' showing was all the more impressive
considering the team had only been able to
practice outside for three days. A 25-4 demoli-
tion at St. John's the following week proved
UMass was an offensive force to be reckoned
with.
While Garber Field was under snow, UMass
worked in Boyden Gymnasium and "E" lot. The
lack of practice caught up with the Gorillas at
Hofstra. Playing in a two-day tournament,
UMass was looking past the Dutchmen to the
next day's game with Duke and paid dearly for
it, with a 16-8 loss — the team's worst of the
season by far.
But if UMass demonstrated one character
trait all season, it was resilience. The Gorillas
bounced back against the Blue Devils, prevail-
ing 12-11 in a close contest that wasn't sealed
until the final buzzer. That win set the Gorillas
on an 8-game winning streak, including big win
number two — a seven-goal, second-half come-
back to defeat Yale at New Haven. Tom LoPresti
established himself as the Gorillas' starting
goaltender — a role he played for the remainder
of the season.
Between that comeback win and the end of
the season, UMass reasserted it's dominance of
New England opponents, defeating every last
one of them. Providence, Harvard, New Hamp-
shire, Boston College, Yale, and Brown all re-
discovered UMass' regional dominance.
Simply put, none of them could stop Millon,
who had four seven-goal games, or mount a
consistent attack against the Gorilla defense of
Dennis Kelly, Chris Nentwich, Jim Panetta,
Kenny Randazzo, and transfers Jim Bjrrns and
Matt Noone. Any opposing attacker who made
it through that gauntlet found himself facing
Richard Correnti or LoPresti in goal. Both posted
save percentages at or near 60 percent.
A season-ending loss to Army dropped the
Gorillas' NCAA seeding from a possible fifth to
11th, forcing UMass to return to Hofstra with
the chance to avenge their earlier loss to the
Dutchmen. UMass led for much of the game, but
a Hofstra third-quarter rally held until the end.
UMass pulled to within a goal of the Dutchmen
at 9-8 with five minutes left, but could not
capitalize and ended their season at 10-5.

oot of the Charles, and Tail of the
harles meets.
After head racing season ends and
ae sno'w falls, the crew trains out-
oors by jogging, and indoors with
'eights and by running up and down
ae graduate toNver stairs. After
aree long, hard months of winter
'aining, the team is ready to brave
lie cold spring for 5 a.m. practices.
Crew^ traveled to Augusta, GA for
pring Break training. After the trip ,
ractice on the Connecticut River
insisted of dodging ice chunks. All
if the hard work paid off when sprint
races began after vacation. Sprint
races are 2,000m long and take any-
w^here from five and a half to eight
minutes to complete, depending upon
the water conditions.
During the spring the crews raced
Boston College, Harvard, Trinity,
Holy Cross, Mt. Holyoke, Navy, Coast
Guard, Worcester Polytechnic Insti-
tute, University of Ne^v Hampshire,
Ithaca, Williams, Wesleyan, and
Smith, and competed in both the
New England and National Champi-
onships.
All of the women's and men's boats
took a share of the winnings. At the
Ne-w England Championships, the
varsity heavy\veight men placed
third, the lightweight varsity men
took fourth, the novice lightw^eight
men placed second, and the junior
varsity nien came in sixth. All three
women's varsity boats w^on their fi-
nal races. The women's scores jrielded
enough points to take home the
women's overall team point trophy.
The top 18 schools from each divi-
sion were invited to the Division Tw^o
National Championships. More than
48 schools from 18 different states
■were represented. The varsity heavy-
weight w^omen -won their division,
finishing the season undefeated, and
the lightweight varsity w^omen w^on
their race by open water. The junior
varsity w^omen placed fifth in their
final. The novice lightweight men
placed second in their division, and
helped the team w^in the overall
points trophy.
This was an exciting w^ay for Coach
Greg Siemankowski to end his first
year as varsity head coach for both
the men and w^omen. The novice
w^omen's coach was Mary Lockyear
and the novice men's coach w^as John

'Running away with the
GLORY!
Usually, people jump on a bandwagon before
the team hits its greatness. If you are looking to
hop on one, forget about the University of Mas-
sachusetts women's cross country team because
their train just left town.
At the A- 10 Championships in Van Cortlandt
Park, Bronx, NY, UMass won the whole thing
for the second year in a row, and added yet
another win to their undefeated regular season.
In addition, the win wrapped up coach of the
year for UMass skipper Julie LaFreniere.
"I'm very happy," said LaFreniere. "I have my
team to thank for being so outstanding all year."
Jimior Kelly Liljeblad finished first for UMass
and second overall to Rutgers' Alicia Guiliano,
who set an A-10 record with a 15-second margin
over Liljeblad. On top of illness, Liljeblad
sprained her ankle with a mile left to the course.
'TSTew York's economic troubles have left them
unable to put much work into the course," said
LaFreniere. "Last weekend 8,100 people ran
the course, making it run down and dangerous."
Rounding out UMass' top five were Kim
Liljeblad (5th), Becky Johnson (7th), Julie
Moreau (11th), and Mo Meldrim (13th).
With the UMass team losing their lead,
Meldrim provided a burst of inspiration by
screaming to her teammates ahead of her to
pick up the pace. Riding on that emotion,
Meldrim propelled herself from seventh to fifth.
"Mo has been on penicillin for a week now and
hadn't run for five days," said LaFreniere. "She
and all the girls ran their hearts out."
The women secured a place at the New En-
gland Championships and the ECACs.
"We are very happy to win the A-10 Champi-
onships, it really means a lot," said LaFreniere.
"Luckily, we do have three weeks to recover
from all these injuries. Our main goal is to be
one of the two teams selected to the nationals at
the ECACs."

Harriers Finish Yet
Another Successful
Season!!!
This year's cross-country team
finished yet another incredible sea-
son with a record of 2-3, with major
victories over Boston College and
NorthEastern. Their losses aren't
exactly losses either, they are moral
victories! lonai and Boston Univer-
sity were ranked within the top 15 in
the nation which gave the minute-
men to strive for. Their meet w^ith
the University of Vermont was a
spectacular event w^ith the minute-
men losing by a narrow^ margin.
The team -will miss it's five
letter w^inning seniors, Brian Cox,
Mike Davis , Pat Reed, Matt Simon,
and Ben Winther. The team w^ill also
miss the leadership of the veteran
co-captains of Mike Davis and Pat
Reed. This year's MVP aw^ard goes
to the much deserving Matt Simon.
These shoes w^ill be hard to fill.
This year's team placed tenth
in the Atlantic Ten Championships
at the historic course in Vancortladt
Park in New^ York City. Simon placed
in the top five, Greenhalgh came in
11th, Reed placed 14th, Cox placed
15th and Copley brought up the back.
Coach O'Brien feels that their per-
formance is a direct reflection of their
depth and balance. This year's per-
formance is one to remember.
This team also placed third in
the New England Championships at
Franklin Park in Boston. This same
course also is the home for the World
Championships for the past tw^o
years. Simon placed ninth and
Andleman placed right behind him
in tenth.

Bringing it
The University of Massachusetts Softball team
had high aspirations entering the 1993 season.
The Minutewomen, led by Sherri Kuchinskas
and Coach Elaine Sortino, hoped to return to
the NCAA tournament, where the team placed
third nationally in 1992.
Maybe it was the slow start in California, or
the lousy weather back east that forced game
cancellations and postponements by the score,
or the Minutewomen's lack of luck of any kind
against their archrivals from UConn, but the
team was forced to settle for another Atlantic 10
championship and an A-10 record of 9-1, abun-
dant conference awards, and a final record of
33-20.
Each season UMass heads for California dur-
ing spring break and comes home with fewer

wins than losses. It's expected. But the compe-
tition, having seen what UMass could do in
1992, was ready this time and left the
Minutewomen with a 2-9 record heading back
east. California State FuUerton and California
State Northridge, both perennial Softball pow-
ers out west, swept UMass in doubleheaders, as
did the University of Nevada, Los Vegas.
Upon their return, the Minutewomen found
snow. The UMass invitational was scrapped
because of the "Blizzard of '93." But UMass
bounced back, winning eight in a row before
losing a doubleheader to UConn, 2-0, 4-0.
UConn and UMass are considered the soft-
ball powers in New England. UConn's 5-0 record
against UMass in 1993 had much to do with
UMass missing the NCAAs this season. The
Minutewomen never did solve the Huskie prob-
lem, scoring only one run off the opponent in
five losses.
What UMass couldn't do against UConn,
however, they did easily to the rest of the
Atlantic 10: dominate. Only Rutgers was able
to beat UMass, and that loss was revenged in
the conference final with a 1-0, 10-inning win.
St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island, Temple, and
St. Joseph's were all victims of UMass double-
header sweeps.
On the individual level, Sortino was once
again named A-10 coach of the year, while
Kuchinskas won player of the year honors. The
senior catcher broke the UMass record for
home runs during her four-year career.

From the beginning of September until the
end of May, and for many cold mornings in
between, the University of Massachusetts base-
ball team has worked toward one goal: to make
the Atlantic 10 Tournament in Boyertown, PA,
win, and advance to the NCAA regionals.
That goal fell by the wayside as the team (17-
21) dropped the second of three games to Temple
University, 10-6.
With the loss, UMass missed out on the A- 10
Tournament for the first time since 1989. The
same weaknesses which plagued the team all
year were in attendance Sunday: poor pitching
and fielding.
Although after the team came back from a 5-
' 1 deficit with a four-run sixth inning. Temple
scored five runs in the last three innings as the
Minutemen committed two errors, two wild
pitches, and a passed ball.
"It's just frustrating, you work all season, you
' work all fall and all off-season for just one thing,
and that's to make it down to Boyertown," said
starter Peter Ferrari. "Just to come one game
short you think back, where's that one game
that you guys could have had.
"Early in the season you don't think they're
important but they are. It's really frustrating to
put all that work in it.. .and not have it pay off,"
he added.
"It's pretty frustrating because you look for-
ward to going to the postseason and hopefully
get to a regional, win the A-lOs, but its kind of
different," said first baseman Bill Knight.
"It's difficult thinking the last game is against
Harvard on Wednesday and you aren't trying to
get geared up for the postseason," Knight said.
Ferrari was knocked out of the game in the
fourth by a two-out, three-run Temple rally.
Gaeton Lucibello, Tom Whalen, and John
Bujnowski drove in the runs with three hits in
a row. John Alves came in as the first of five
relievers for UMass.
UMass batters saved Ferrari from a loss by
knotting the score at five in the sixth. Steve
Corradi led off with a double and scored on
Justin Howard's ground out. With two out.
Knight singled, Greg LaRocca doubled, and Jeff
January hit a ground ball that scored the third
UMass run. January was safe on the second
baseman's error.
Joe Mattivello walked, and pinch hitter Josh
Tobin lofted a fly ball in back of second which
the right fielder dropped, scoring LaRocca and
January to make the game 5-5.
Greg Dowd, who worked out of a jam in the
top of the sixth by striking out two with the
bases loaded, took the loss by allowing two runs
in the top of the seventh.
Temple scored two in the seventh, two in the
eight, and one in the ninth. UMass scored one
run in the ninth for the 10-6 final.
After dropping the opening game 9-6, the
Minutemen kept their playoff hopes alive by
winning 11-4 in the second game behind Jeff
Toothaker's seven innings of a 10-hit ball.

jy^^ING the Gun
The University of Massachusetts
■women's track and field team -went
undefeated in their dual meets, de-
spite experiencing a delayed start
because of poor early weather condi-
tions. They -went from the "loAvs" of
the terrible -weather at the Penn
Relays to the "highs" of hosting the
New England Championships. The
team also had strong showings at the
Yale and Dartmouth Invitationals.
Coach Julie LaFrenniere did a
masterful job, juggling lineups and
teaching her young team members.
In the field events, Dianne Ozzolek
and Natalie Hart stood out. Hart
repeatedly broke the school discus
and shot-put records, and is a con-
tender for national competition.
Ozzolek holds the school hammer
throw record. Both w^omen competed
in the prestigious ECAC's, along w^ith
seven other members of the team.
Janey Meeks and Sherry Booker
proved to be reliable triple- and long-
jumpers. Becky Johnson sho-wed her
versatility by performing well in both
the 1500m and 800m, and being a
key factor in several relay teams.
Kim Liljeblad was also a good middle
distance runner and relay specialist.
Lennice Johnson was strong in the
400m and the 400m hurtles. Booker
■was an excellent sprinter, running
well in the lOOm and 200m.
"I w^as very pleased with this team
on the season, they've all done very
nicely," said LaFrenniere. "We have
trained so hard all season for the
New^ Englands, the athletes make
that meet our ultimate goal."
The team has great expectations
for next year. LaFrenniere describes
Booker as "tremendously talented,
she'll be very special w^hen she puts
it all together. " Fellow^ freshmen Julie
Moreau and Jen Melvin are middle-
and long-distance runners who
should only get better as their UMass
careers roll on. The horizon looks
bright for this multi-talented team,
and Coach LaFrenniere will lead
them with much success.

Pulling Ahead
of the Pack
The 1993 season -was an impres-
) ive one for the University of Massa-
Jhusetts men's track team. Mother
J 'Jature seemed to be the team's worst
ippponent, as rain, snow, and cold
temperatures forced the pre-season
iiractices to be held indoor, and
•yashed out the team's first meet.
When opening day finally did roll
r round, the Minutemen found them-
i elves facing a tough University of
jJhode Island team as well as
>unherst college. URI and UMass
liattled to the wire, before the Rams
) inally pulled out the victory, with
1 he final scores of URI 89, UMass 84,
;.nd Amherst 13.
A confrontation with the Univer-
iity of Vermont was up next for the
Minutemen. They were up to the
( hallenge, defeating UVM by almost
;iO points. The victory gave UMass a
; -1 record in head-to-head competi-
lion.
I First on that circuit was the Holy
(rJross Classic. The meet started w^ith
s tw^o-day decathlon. Tw^o UMass
team members placed in the top five.
] 'aul Doyle took third, and Joe
] Lourafas placed in the top five for
1 he second straight year, earning
1 ifth. A total of eight Minutemen
qualified for the Ne-w England Cham-
pionships.
The success of the Minutemen con-
tinued up north, at the Dartmouth
Invitational. 12 more athletes quali-
fied for the New England meet. Indi-
vidual stars began to emerge as well.
John Johnson took first place in the
long jump, and second in the 100m.
Tom Galligani remained undefeated
in the triple jump.
O'Brien used the Dartmouth meet
to give athletes experience in other
events, to try to find their strengths.
Rick Copley, competing in his first
ever steeplechase, took second place.
Joe Kourafas placed second in both
the long jump and the high jump.
The final invitational meet of 1993
came at Brown University. For the
first time this season, the Minute-
men finally got some ideal weather
conditions.
12 Minutemen reached or exceeded
their personal bests. Lyonel Ben-
jamin had a tremendous meet, plac-
ing first in the 100m, second in the
200m, and running the anchor leg of
the second place 4xl00m relay.
"This ^vas a real good performance
team wise," said O'Brien. "This meet
was a dress rehearsal for the East-
ern Conference Championships."
Next up was the Eastern Confer-
ence Championships. In a field of
tough competition, the Minutemen
held their o-wn, placing third as a
team overall. Pat Reed and Ted
Towse both had career-best days for
UMass. Reed ran an incredible final
lap to take first in the 1500m, while
Towse took the lead in the 10,000m
early, and never looked back as he
cruised to victory.
This meet proved to be a "coming
out party" of sorts for freshmen Marc
Lefebvre and Rich Dupuis. Lefebvre
threw the shot-put a foot better than
his career-best to earn third, -while
Dupuis out-threw his previous record
by almost 10 feet to take third in the
javelin.
Despite the impending loss of
graduating seniors Kourafas, Reed,
and captain Jim Avery, the 1993
season brought excitement to all who
followed UMass track. Underclass-
men Benjamin, Galligani, Towse, and
Johnson all have one or two years
remaining, -while freshmen Lefebvre,
Dupuis, and Mike Masone have three
more years to emerge as champions.
This -will be a team to reckon with.

Karate Kid
Part
IV
A woman waits, poised three inches above
the ground. Looking up she Hfts each leg,
one at a time, pointing her toes to the
ceihng. She pushes herself back to touch
her toes, then plunges forward to support
her entire weight on her hands and toes,
still looking at the ceiling.
This is a ten-count push up, one of the
many exercises that members of the Goju-
Ryu Karate Club do to prepare themselves
for intense training. Workouts last two
hours, and include a generous amount of
calisthenics, basic punches, kicks and
throws, kata (forms), and bunkai (two per-
son forms). The training involves more
than physical exercise. The club members
sharpen their minds, bodies, and spirits to
develop concentration, discipline, and hu-
mility, in addition to muscle control and
coordination. The students also practice
the ancient art of Okinawan weapons
(Kobudc), which includes bo, sai, and tonfa.
Giles Hopkins Sensei leads daily train-
ing. He is a long-time student of Kimo Wall
Sensei, who was chief instructor at UMass
during the 1980s. Kimo Sensei has studied
Goju-Ryu for more than forty years, and he
has trained in Okinawa under such in-
structors as Master Matayoshi and Master
Shinho.
Kimo Sensei travels to the University
once or twice each year. While visiting, he
holds a Kobudo seminar and tests club
members. In order to advance in rank,
students must be able to demonstrate that
they have learned their subjects to a satis-
factory degree.
Club members at UMass teach six gym
classes through the Physical Education
department: Karate I, Karate II, and Self-
Defense for Women. The club also offers
self-defense seminars in the residential
areas.
The club puts on demonstrations for Reg-
istered Student Organization fairs, the
annual International Fair, the Asian Club,
and the Japan American Club. The mem-
bers also hold 24-hour karate marathons to
raise money for charities, and offer gym
classes through the Continuing Education
department.

Hitting the SilJ^^
y^ So you say you want to learn how to fly?
irhen does Rob Desilets have a deal for you!
i Desilets, a junior computer systems engi-
neering major, is the president of the Sport
'arachute Club at UMass — the oldest
olollegiate parachute club in the country. A
j'leteran of 77 jumps, Desilets urges stu-
dents to try skydiving at least once.
"We have the cheapest skydiving rates in
; Jew England," he said. "If you want to try
: ;, this is where you do it: UMass. It's a part
( f the college experience."
i For $140 students can attend a class to
iearn the intricacies of parachuting, and
1 hen take a first jump. Once that jump is
1 lade, students become automatic mem-
1 lers of the Sport Parachute Club. The next
) Dur jumps cost a total of $35, said Desilets.
For the first four jumps, students do a
I tatic line progression, in which the para-
t hute is immediately deployed at 3,200 feet
}} y a line hooked to the plane. Starting with
1 he fifth jump, students go into freefall,
1 ?hich requires manual activation of the rip
( ord. Desilets said the last jump is from
9,500 feet, which translates to about 45
seconds of freefall.
"It's very exciting when you do a freefall,"
said senior psychology major Dawn Premo.
"It's a sense of timelessness, of confidence
about life in general, because you feel like
'If I can do this, I can do anything'."
The club was founded in 1957, yet it lived
an involuntarily covert existence until
Desilets took over during 1992. Since then,
the membership has grown to about 60
students, and club members are forever
trying to attract what they feel is overdue
attention to the club. Events such as a jump
into the campus pond during the Spring
Concert and a trip to the Collegiate Nation-
als during December help to promote the
club's existence.
"We're going to be jumping into the (pond
during) Spring Concert," said Desilets. "It'll
be between bands, at about 3 p.m., and
eight jumpers will go from about 8,000 feet.
We'll have smoke grenades on our ankles
while we're under canopy, and we'll be
holding a banner that says 'UMass'."
It's a thrill of a lifetime for someone who
wants to be daring and gutsy," said Chris-
tine Wadel, a senior environmental health
major. "But no one can really tell you what
it's like. You have to experience it. It's the
biggest rush. You're flying, you know?"
Chris Klaus, a junior civil engineering
major and the club's deputy treasurer,
agrees and emphasizes that student nov-
ices have nothing to fear when jumping for
the first time. Many precautions are taken
and the equipment used is second to none.
"I saw a bumper sticker today that said,
'Remember the days when sex used to be
safe and parachuting used to be danger-
ous?' I think that says it all," he said. "Just
try it once. I guarantee you'll do it again."
Desilets said jumping is an acquired skill,
but students can still realize their dreams
through the club.
"When you first learn to walk, it's very
hard," he said. "But the more you do it, the
more you learn. And soon, you're running.
Same principle here, except we're just learn-
ing to fly."

SAFA visits
Washington D.C.
to lobby for
affordable
education
SAFA annually travels to Washington D.C. to
lobby congress, and to meet with Massachu-
setts Congressman John Olver. The students
gained practical experience and made strides
in areas of financial aid.

Imagine being a college student,
traveling to Washington DC, and lobbying
Congress for better financial aid programs.
Think it couldn't happen? Think again, and
then join Students Advocating Financial
Aid for the experience of your life!
Thirteen years ago, Professor of Political
Science Gerry Grady
created SAFA as part
of a course he was
teaching at the Uni-
versity of Massachu-
setts. A group of stu-
dents in his class
wanted to get some
practical lobbying ex-
perience while at the
same time helping
their fellow students.
They formed SAFA.
SAFA is the only organization of its
kind in the country, which makes its mis-
sion that much more important to the fu-
ture of affordable education in the United
States.
The four officers and 60 members
are people who responded to flyers or were
introduced to SAFA at the Registered Stu-
dent Organization Fair. The members dis-
cuss issues such as revision of the Financial
Aid Form, changes in government practice,
and new areas of focus for lobbying efforts.
Advisors from the Financial Aid Office help
clarify new rules and requirements.
Members of the club learn how to
approach senators and representatives, and
how to professionally and effectively present
the goals and expectations of SAFA. Al-
though it is not a requirement, most of the
members of SAFA are recipients of finan-
cial aid. A major thrust of SAFA's efforts is
to relate student needs through personal
experience and problems.
The annual trip to Washington,
D.C. is financed by SAFA and by donations
from the Student Government and the Uni-
versity administration. Throughout the
year, SAFA members organize activities to
raise money. Movie show-
ings, candy sales, andlot-
teries all help send the
members to Washington
in the spring. While
there, SAFA members
are given a reception by
the Washington area
UMass Alumni Associa-
tion.
Congress was reviewing
President Clinton's eco-
nomic stimulus package
when SAFA went to Washington in 1993.
This program will have a major impact on
financial aid recipients all over the country.
It proved to be a productive and highly
beneficial trip for the group. Members were
able to approach lawmakers while the issue
was at the forefront of debate.
Aside from being an important and
highly recognized organization, SAFA
also a great resume builder. To have .o-
bied Congress when in college is a s* King
achievement. Many former members are
currently working on Capitol Hill for people
they met while on a SAFA trip.
"SAFA gives the everyday college
student a chance to affect higher educa-
tion," said SAFA President Anne Marie
Cervini. To fight for America's youth is
among the noblest of gestures. It's your
chance to impact the political process.

Mortar Board:
A winning combination of scholarship and service
1993 marks the 75th anniversary of the
Mortar Board, a national senior honor soci-
ety of "scholars. ..chosen for
leadership. ..united to serve." The Mortar
Board has grown from a small, all-women's
honor society to a nationally recognized, co-
educational program that chooses academi-
cally talented students to promote campus
lanr' immunity service activities.
/hile the group strives to serve locally,
-lembers also hope to have a national im-
pact.
"I would like this to be a successful year
for Mortar Board not just at UMass, but for
us to be known as an outstanding chapter
everywhere," said Mary Lynn Lim, a senior
biochemistry major.
Although Mortar Board promotes any
service-oriented activity, the national ser-
vice theme for this particular year is lit-
eracy. The UMass group participated in
events such as a fundraiser for The Lit-
eracy Project of Greenfield, a trip to a
Holyoke elementary school to read to stu-
dents, and a Walk-A-Thon for Literacy in
Boston.
In celebration of the organization's 75th
anniversary, the UMass Isogon Chapter
took part in a variety of activities during
National Mortar Board Week (February
15- 19), including Professor Recognition Day
and hosting an alumni guest speaker.
During the fall semester. Mortar Board,
Golden Key National Honor Society, and
Alpha Lambda Delta worked together to
organize the Kathie Caldwell Walk-A-Thon.
Caldwell, a freshman at UMass during 1992,
suffered a stroke that left her quadriplegic
and unable to speak.
The Caldwell family notified Dean of Stu-
dents Eileen Stewart about the financial
strain that medical expenses and special
equipment had placed on them. Stewart
informed the three honor societies about
the Caldwell's situation, and immediately
steps were taken to arrange a fundraiser
for the family.
Hundreds of students turned out on Sat-
urday, November 21 for the three- mile
walk, and more than $ 1,000 was pledged by
individuals and local businesses even be-
fore the walk started. The Walk-A-Thon
was successful because of the organization
and determination of Mortar Board, Golden
Key, and ALD members.
The UMass Mortar Board continues to
strive for local and national excellence.
While relishing the successes of yesterday
and planning for the activities of tomorrow,
Mortar Board remains focused on the daily
needs of the campus and community.

"^f,
For $5,000 and the vegomatic, the ques-
tion for today is: "What is UPC?" Ummm,
that bar code thing that gets scanned in the
checkout hne at Super Stop & Shop? Nope.
But this is often the response of people
who don't know what University Produc-
tions and Concerts (formerly the Union
Program Council) does on the UMass cam-
pus. The old name didn't exactly spell it out,
either.
In the past, UPC has been known mainly
for the fact that it puts on the Spring Con-
cert. This is very true, and it doesn't hurt to
mention that the Grateful Dead played one
in the football stadium for one of the two
shows that were staged there before UPC
was outlawed from that venue. There was a
bit of a mess to be cleaned up, and a few
legal technicalities. ..but such is the way
with rock 'n roll.
The best way to picture what UPC has
done in the past is to simply mention a few
of the other bands that it has brought to
campus during the 16 years that it has
existed.
In the past, bands such as U2 (in Bowker
Auditorium, believe it or not) and the Red
Left: The legendary Wallers
entertain this year's Spring
Concert going crowd.

Hot Chili Peppers (one of the few bands
that the administration has banned from
campus for. . .ahem. . .unsavory conduct), just
before they broke into the big time. UPC
has also brought Van Morrison, Bonnie
Raitt, the Talking Heads, James Taylor,
Frank Zappa, and Run-DMC to the UMass
campus.
More recently, up-and-coming artists such
as Jesus Jones and (gasp) a Seattle band
called Pearl Jam have played at UMass
right before their big breaks. The 1993
Concert showcased Richie Havens and the
Wallers.
And yet, UPC remains a fairly well-kept
secret. People go to the shows, but do they
know who puts them on? We do!
UPC is one of the largest college concert
production organizations. What sets us
apart from most others is the fact that the
students handle all aspects of the show
from beginning to end. We book our own
talent, do our own promotions and adver-
tising, not to mention security, stage crew,
and hospitality.
So, where do a bunch of students get the
money for all this? Well, it comes from the
Student Activities Trust Fund, originating
from student fees. We are allotted a certain
amount per semester, and a separate
amount for the Spring Concert. The amounts
fluctuate on a year-to-year basis. When we
do a show, we spend a certain amount of
money and set ticket prices according to
what will let us break even — we're not in
it for profit.
UPC was formed to provide a service, as
well as to give students experience in the
various aspects of production, on a volun-
teer basis. Most importantly, UPC is around
so people can have a good time.
I've been working UPC shows for the past
four years. For me, it was a dream come
true. I never thought there was a way I
could make music a career, and work with
cutting edge bands.
Some shows are spectacular, while
others. ..aren't. But, again, such is the de-
cidedly unpredictable world of rock 'n roll.
Every year brings a new cast of characters
to the UPC family, but the spirit remains
the same.

UMass' Bike Co-op keeps students on the go

Photo by Wendy Su
With the growing population of bikes on
campus and the inevitable need for an occa-
sional repair, the Bicycle Co-op is there for
all your biking needs.
The premise of the place is simple. Stu-
dents can bring their bikes into the shop,
and using the array of tools hanging on the
wall, go to work to fix whatever problems
they might have.
The staff members provide helpful advice
as to what the problem might be, and decide
whether the part is worth repairing or re-
placing altogether. Senior environmental
science major Matt Germino said the co-op
charges $3 per hour for students to use the
shop. The shop also sells replacement parts
such as tubes, tires, and chains at a reason-
able rate, and can order a variety of special-
ized parts.
"Historically, the Bike Co-op has been a
loosely-run business plagued by inconsis-
tent open hours, inadequate tool supply,
and lack of publicity," said Germino.
Graduate student Peter Diplock of the
Center of Student Businesses initiated
changes in inventory, payroll, and the busi-
ness organization, and the Bike Co-op has
since flourished.
So the next time you've got a problem
with your bike, it doesn't mean you'll have
to walk to class. Just head on over to the
Bike Co-op, and you'll be riding again in no
time "flat."

When sophomore legal studies major Sa-

' nth a "family that cares and watches out
1 tr each other, a fraternal support network
I f friends and advisors," only the 130 mem-
1 er Minuteman Army ROTC battalion can
I t her description.
\ When Albrycht's roommate Michelle
Uonnachie describes the camaraderie of
l.'ISII (sophomore) study sessions and how
iihe wants to "go active" when she gradu-
i(tes, she symbolizes the "Leadership Ex-
;l2llence" motto of the battalion. A sopho-
Kiore business major in the Ranger Pla-
toon, Donnachie said she wants to be a
iiember of the Military Intelligence.
I* Among the Rangers, there is a team often
lembers who take part in the annual 13-
i ;hool Ranger Challenge Competition, with
;Dntests in rifle marksmanship,
jdenteering, rope bridge crossing, and a
Jiin kilometer forced march (while carrying
«' 3 pounds of gear).
"(We) voluntarily do more physical and
classroom training to make ourselves profi-
cient and efficient because we enjoy it," said
Daren Krellwitz, a member of the Rangers
and Captain of the Color Guards.
The Warrior Spirit newspaper, the Rang-
ers, the Color Guard, and the Scabbard &
Blade Honor Society are just some of the
organizations within the superstructure of
ROTC.
Students who earn ROTC scholarships
get more than a grant that covers tuition
and student fees, $225 per semester for
books, and a monthly $100 stipend. The
ROTC program includes exercise both physi-
cal and mental: three days of intense physi-
cal training, and required courses and labs
introduce cadets into the army, teaching
them skills ranging from leadership to mili-
tary law.
ROTC also means a commitment to the
national military that includes eight years
of ser-vice for students receiving grants and
four years of service for those not on schol-
arship.
During the summer between junior- and
senior-year, all cadets attend a training
camp to get hands-on experience and choose
a branch of the military that they want to
pursue as a career. Popular choices are
infantry for men, military police for women.
Students graduate as Second Lieuten-
ants and attend officer's basic training.
After that they can go on to graduate school
and earn First Lieutenant ranking, or go
right into active service.
Rappelling, camping, field training exer-
cises at Fort Devens, shooting M-16s and
M-20s, saluting, and marching are just some
of the dimensions Army ROTC adds to
sophomore environmental science major
Trina Cysz's daily college experience.
"ROTC provides a direction, a goal, a
focus, and a maturity that extends beyond
the college experience," she said.

Democrats
1992-93 was an exciting year for the Uni-
versity Democrats. As well as helping to
elect the first Democratic president in 12
years, the club chose Neil Carpenter as the
new president of the College Democrats of
Massachusetts. The University Democrats
were led by George Fitzgerald, and it was
under his direction that the group received
an increased budget for the following year
and traveled to the inaugural ceremonies in
Washington DC. The highlight of the year
was a debate against the Republican Club,
focusing on the merits of the presidential
hopefuls. Here's what happened.
In a presidential debate, Neil Carpenter,
speaking onbehalf of Democratic challeng-
ers Bill Clinton and Al Gore, attacked the
Republican administration under Reagan,
Bush, and Quayle for driving America into
the worst job market in 50 years, due to the
failed "trickle down" policies of the conser-
vative administration.
Voting for the Clinton/Gore ticket. Car-
penter argued, was a vote for a better
economy, education, and environment,
along with the right to an abortion. Bush,
according to Carpenter, has for too long
catered to the wealthy and powerful, and
now was the time to break from the status
quo and run the country from the bottom
up, not from the top down.
Carpenter said that under a Clinton ad-
ministration, the only taxes raised would
be on the wealthy portion of the population
in order to finance better education and a
national health plan.
When the issue of race relations was
discussed, Carpenter applauded the record
of Clinton. As governor of Arkansas, Clinton
was voted most successful governor in 1991
because of his urban policies.
The issue then shifted to foreign policy
after the Cold War era. Carpenter said that
by electing Clinton, our nation would be-
come an economic leader rather than a
military-oriented nation. He said the $60
billion in defense cuts proposed by Clinton
made sense, and is backed by such military
brass as Admiral William Crowe.
Carpenter went on to mention that with
Gore as vice president, the environment
woulr" be on the front burner, unlike the
Bush plan, which in^rolves oil companies
and businesses responsible for pollution.
Bill Clinton later became president-elect
of the United States by winning 43 percent
of the popular vote, over Bush's 38 percent.

Students who join the UMass Republi-
cans have a certain flair for right wing
politics that earns them the experience, con-
nections, and recognition to succeed in the
world, and often in Washington, DC itself.
Together with the Minuteman, the conser-
vative campus newspaper, the group offers
political internships and regular contact
with prominent Republicans across the coun-
I try. Here's their side of the debate.
President George Bush is the only viable
I candidate for the 1992 Presidency of the
' United States, said the former President of
I the UMass Republican Club and student
senator, senior Kevin Jourdain. During his
debate with the University Democrat Club
I President Neil Carpenter, Jourdain com-
I bined his knowledge of the facts concerning
both candidates with his experience in pub-
lic speaking to assert that Americans de-
serve and need four more years of President
I Bush. Jourdain detailed the President's
achievements at home and abroad. He said
Bush represents the party of Lincoln, the
party of freedom, as exemplified by the
nomination and acceptance of Clarence
1 Thomas to the Supreme Court. Bush also
signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1990
to protect against emplo3rment discrimina-
tion in a manner that neither involves red-
tape legislation nor reverse discrimination
H quotas.
Speaking of the President's experience,
•I Jourdain said that during the Cold War
Bush was the youngest Navy pilot to fly the
Pacific. He has also been the Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency, and as Presi-
dent of the United States he has "seen it all,
1 done it all." Bush was crucial to the fall of
1 Communism and the re-unification of Ger-
ri many.
Bush, Jourdain said, has a realistic health
care program which ends many regulations
to small businesses and drastically reduces
I malpractice- suit cases, making health care
1 more affordable for everybody.
Concerning the environment, Jourdain
said that in 1988 not an inch of the environ-
ment was lost. An ardent sportsman. Bush
is committed to preserving our waters and
i lands.
Jourdain emphasized the fact that the
Republican party is the inclusive party for
Americans and that Bush is a strong propo-
nent of private enterprise.

Earthfoods cooks up healthy choices for students and friends
Earthfoods is a non-profit, student-initi-

in the Student Union. The members of
Earthfoods work together through consen-
sus vote to provide vegetarian food at an
inexpensive price to the UMass commu-

"There's a really close-knit, friendly at-

it's pretty cheap," said Megan Foley, a se-

The GreereZea/' organization was founded
in 1976 by a group of students who were
concerned about the lack of economical,
healthy food on campus. Since then, the

Flying High
The Cannabis Reform Coalition just isn't
your ordinary club. It was founded to pro-
mote events of a counter-culture nature, to
raise consciousness of society toward the
issue of legalizing cannabis, to dispel com-
1 mon misconceptions about the plant, and to
1 emphasize the usefulness of cannabis in
i industry, medicine, and culture.
"The club was founded over two years ago
■ to try to form a sense of community among
cannabis users on campus, (by) sponsoring
I political activity, policy reforms, and pro-
moting drug awareness and drug educa-
tion," said club secretary and founding
member Brian Julin, a senior computer
systems engineer.
CRC distributes information and litera-
ture from its library of activist material,
corresponds with other organizations, and
1 provides legal support for its 200 members.
"I started getting involved last semester
■ and learned a lot about the club. Once you
get involved you can't stop thinking about
legalization because there is so much infor-
mation involved," said club President Lance
Brown, a junior English major.
"For example, American people are miss-
ing out on a huge opportunity for beneficial
agricultural reform. We possess the tech-
nology to develop massively improved envi-
Tonmental efficiency of agriculture. We
■could free ourselves of fossil fuel depen-
dency. Also, you can create paper with hemp
rather than trees. We have the answers to
environmental questions.
"However," he added, "initially a few com-
panies began the 'reefer madness' phobia
and have since been systematically sup-
pressing cannabis because it is dangerous
to their enterprises. These corporations have
nursed society's ignorance and have in-
grained in our culture a fear of cannabis.
The combination of society's blind obedi-
ence and the personal profiteering of cer-
tain corporations must be stopped."
The club promoted awareness of these
issues with "Extravaganja," complete with
live bands, dancing, and hemp distributors.
The Coalition also obtained enough stu-
dent signatures to get a referendum ques-
tion placed on this year's UMass voting
ballot.
The question, which asked students if
they favored the legalization of hemp on
campus, was overwhelmingly answered
YES. More than 2,000 votes favored legal-
ization, while 900 votes were cast against
legalization.
"This is the beginning. Legalization isn't
going to happen by itself, but (it will hap-
pen) when people get involved in the cause
and promote understanding and knowl-
edge of the issue," said Brown. "Awareness
is growing and people are just starting to
voice their desire for legalized hemp."

Governing Ourselves
The Student Government Association is made
up of undergraduate student representatives,
called "senators," from all areas of the campus,
including the Greek Area, and commuter stu-
dents. The senators meet weekly in order to
Hsten to officer and committee reports, as well
as to review "motions" before the senate body.
Motions are presented by senators to initiate
work on issues of interest to the various campus
communities.
SGA consists of four officers, including presi-
dent, student trustee (both of whom are elected
by the student body), treasurer, and speaker
(appointed from within the senate body). Stu-
dents work on special committees such as those
on budget, finance, public policy (work in con-
junction with the Registrar's Office in order to
register students to vote), governmental affairs
(such as elections), public relations (re-estab-
lished this year to increase communications
between the SGA and the student body through
the newsletter The Agenda).
The main focus for SGA is the long-term
welfare of the students. The development of a
constitution is perhaps the most important part
of this plan. The constitution empowers the
student body, by giving it formal power at the
Board of Trustees level.
Negotiations to change the responsibilities of
the Student Activities Office have also been an
important activity for SGA. We were able to
reach a compromise on splitting the Student
Activities Trust Fund (SATF), in order to give
SGA greater control over student funds.
A third project for SGA is the renewed effort
to restore litigation rights to the Legal Services
Center. This would re-establish the ability of
students to review and challenge the role of the
University in all of its faculties.
The proposed return of the Student Center
for Educational Research and Advocacy
(SCERA) is another matter for SGA consider-
ation. SGA plans to hire a professional to act as
director of the program. The center will be a
resource for students, as well as the Student
Government Association itself.
Students who are involved with SGA work
hard to build an effective structure for future
government representatives, as well as the stu-
dent body.

READ ALL ABOUT IT !
Editor in Chief David Rivera (Spring, 1993)
fondly called the Massachusetts Daily Colle-
gian the "Daily Miracle." That label was never
more appropriate than during the 1992-1993
school year.
The Collegian's 200-student staff arrived on
campus in September, not knowing if the news-
paper even existed. A takeover (during the
previous May) of the paper's offices by activists
who claimed the Collegian was racist left the
future of the 103-year-old newspaper in jeop-
ardy.
Summer talks through the Harvard Negotia-
tion Project led to an easing of tensions, and the
Collegian was able to celebrate its' 25th anni-
versary as a daily newspaper. By spring, staff
numbers were increasing and the future seemed
bright.
The Collegian returned with a new look. The
graphics department, aided by a Macintosh
computer system, launched a major overhaul
that resulted in a streamlined newspaper. Mean-
while, the business staff continued to hold its
own against professional competition, despite a

depressed ad market.
Those were the "big" miracles of 1992-93. The
"daily miracle" Rivera spoke of is equally im-
pressive. It starts each morning when Maureen
Majerowski, one of the Collegian's four profes-
sional business employees and the longest-ten-
ured member, arrives and makes a batch of the
office's famous coffee.
Soon after, advertising representatives, writ-
ers, and day graphics staff members wander in
to begin selling and placing the ads that pay to
keep the free, 19,000-circulation paper running
smoothly. The largest college daily in New En-
gland is entirely self-funded.
By early afternoon, the business and produc-
tion departments, and newsroom are humming
with activity. News Editor Jason George, 20
ounce coffee and smoldering cigarette in hand,
makes calls to writers and sources in order to
get on-campus stories for the news section. He
has plenty to present to Managing Editor
Michelle Bayliss, the production supervisor,
and the photo technician when the call for
"budget" goes out at 5pm.
Meanwhile, reporters make calls and type
stories into the ancient newsroom computer
system, while Editorial Editor Darienne Hosley
finishes the Ed/Op page layout for the day.
Late in the afternoon, other page editors
make the trek down to the basement to lay out
their sections and harass writers. Sports Editor
Michael Morrissey talks with fellow "sportos,"
or with Arts Editors Lisa Curtis and Jon Lupo,
and Black Affairs Editor Kristin St. John.
But amidst all of this manic activity, some
lucky staffers have nothing to do and no dead-
line to meet. They hang out, discuss world
events, or stop in between classes for a cup of
coffee. Some will stay until nightfall, when the
graphics and news night staffs come in to put
the paper together for a 2 a.m. deadline.
It's this kind of dedication that makes daily
miracles of all kinds possible at the Collegian.
To the staff, it's more than a paper -it's a family,
sometimes enjoying one another's company,
sometimes agreeing to disagree, but always a
family.

For Greenough Snack Bar, the
1992-1993 academic year was like no other.
The non-profit, student-run business joined
the ranks of UMass residential student
organizations such as Earthfoods and
People's Market by becoming a cooperative.
The 22 student employees also be-
gan a delivery service to bring meals to the
Central area residence halls, catered social
gatherings on campus, held a free coffee-
house with live, local entertainment, and
served food to the thousands of people who
attended the Spring Concert.
Our goal was to provide good food
at a low price to fellow students. With the
help of Registered Student Organization
adviser Katya D'Arnico, the Greenough
Snack Bar was able to grow from a finan-
cially troubled, six-person club to an ener-
getic, cooperative gi-oup where all employ-
ees work as equals in the decision making
processes.
Throughout the years, the snack
bar has sold everything from subs and pocket
sandwiches to ice cream sundaes and fresh
baked cookies and brownies. Greenough is

Chorale
aces the Music
The University Chorale, a choir of more
than 50 singers dedicated to fun and music,
has once again completed a successful year.
Chorale is comprised of students from many
majors, from math to history, from engi-
neering to hotel restaurant and travel ad-
ministration. What they have in common is
a love of song.
The group presents many styles of music,
from Italian Renaissance to American gos-
pel. Chorale has also put on several special
works during the past year, including a
stage version of Gian Carlo Menotti's A?na/iZ
and the Night Visitors, and the Berlioz
Requiem.
The Requiem performance was one of the
largest choral shows in University history,
including the works of five choirs from the
Valley area and the Pioneer Valley Sym-
phony. Other concerts included an exhibi-
tion at Old South Congregational in Spring-
field, and an appearance at the Five College
Choral Festival, held at John M. Greene
Hall at Smith College.

choirs? TRAVEL! Several of the graduating
seniors have been on two major tours with

Chorale. In 1990, the group toured to Po-
land and what was then the Soviet Union.
The director, Dr. Richard Dubois ("D" as
the Chorale affectionately calls him), tells
of the difference between the first time the
Chorale went to the Soviet Union in 1980
and the trip in 1990.
"In 1980, we were not allowed to sing
about God, freedom or peace. We were not
allowed to speak to anyone. We were given
tours of the cities that we visited and were
not allowed to ask questions. In 1990, things
were much different. We spoke to the people.
We learned what it was like to be a Soviet
citizen. We performed a piece by Dr. Horace
Boyer called Save Me. When we sang this
piece at the Cathedral of the Black Ma-
donna in Warsaw, Poland, the crowd was so
moved, they applauded for 30 minutes and
asked us to perform it again, even as we
were boarding the buses to leave the Cathe-
dral. The audience wanted so desperately
to hear us again."
In 1992, Chorale traveled once again to a
far corner of the Earth, this time to Austra-
lia and New Zealand. Performances in
Sydney and Cairns, AUS, and in Auckland,
Rotorua, and Whangarei, NZ were all well
received.
"We got to go to a part of the world that
many of us would never have seen other-
wise. Discovering the Maori people of New
Zealand, learning about an entirely foreign
culture, visitingtheir marais (tribal lodges),
and then performing for them was the most
amazing experience of my life," said HRTA
senior Jim Olson.
This spring, the Chorale has been under
the leadership of Hua-En Lu, a graduate
student in the music department, while Dr.
Dubois was on sabbatical. Her energy and
dedication is greatly appreciated by the
Chorale.
Along with the hard work of preparing for
concerts and tours, Chorale also has time
for fun. The annual Chorale Banquet at the
Lord Jeffery Inn is a rousing success. Hay-
rides in the fall, fundraising, and parties at
the Chorale managers' apartment round
out the social activities.
Chorale has a long history of excellence in
music, tours and concerts yet to be sung,
and friendships to be made.

Celebrating
— Our —
Heritage
"Greek Night," on Greek Independence
! Day, is an example of the effort and sophis-
tication that the Five Colleges European
' Club puts into events that it coordinates.
Initiated by club President Dimos
Silvestriadis, and organized by the Worces-
ter Dining Commons, the night found 10,000
« students eating traditional Greek food such
as spanikopita (spinach pita) and baklava
for dessert. Greek dancers performed, and
-students joined in the festivities.
Theodore Passas, Consul of Greece and
iformer representative of Greece to the
' United Nations, spoke after the dinner on
the "Crisis in Yugoslavia: the Greek Per-
spective." The lecture drew a crowd of more
than 150 people.
"This European Club is great!" said School
of Management sophomore Mark La wry,
who attended the lecture by Passas. "I
thought it was going to be long and boring,
but there are tons of people here, and every-
iione is arguing and debating about Yugosla-
via. I can't believe how many other UMass
students are really excited about these is-
sues!"
Students who join the club are primarily
mstudents of the social sciences, although a
large segment is composed of students with
various European heritages.
"Members of the European Club are stu-
dents with the desire to keep up with events
that go on in Europe," said Silvestriadis. A
senior economics management major, he
founded the club in January of 1991 be-
cause "all University students should know
what's going on in Europe. It's an emerging
power."
Lectures, panel discussions, debates,
dances, and trips all comprise the Euro-
pean Club's schedule of events. With more
than four hundred members from the Five
College area, each activity draws at least a
crowd of a hundred people.
Talks by guest speakers included "The
Automobile Industry Under Global Compe-
tition Conditions," by Giuseppe Greco, presi-
dent and C.E.O. of Ferrari North America,
Inc., and "What Exactly Collapsed in the
U.S.S.R.," by Economics Professor Richard
Wolff.
"There are European Clubs at all five
colleges. UMass is the main vein and the
heart," said Kristel Bohm, the vice presi-
dent of academic and corporate relations, a
senior economics major. Located in 110
Thompson Hall, the European Club boasts
a wealth of resources and information.
As a "European Database Center," the
club has its own telecommunications elec-
tronic mail address and maintains several
computers in addition to a fax machine. The
office holds European and internationally
focused newspapers and journals, pam-
phlets in various European languages, and
tourist information.
"We also print the European Club News
Letter, which we mail at no charge to all
interested students. There are about 400
students on the mailing list. This keeps
everyone informed of upcoming events and

said Nicole Prunier, the vice president of

"All of our events have been successful.
We advertise everything we do at all five

Banding Together
A combination of real dedication, orga-
nized talent, and raw enthusiasm is an
accurate description of the UMass March-
ing Band. Whether at home, in New Jersey,
or even the nation's Capital, the band puts
on a professional show.
Getting more than 250 students to per-
form so well together only happens with
practice and effort. During the year, band
members meet Monday through Friday,
from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. for practice.
Even before the fall semester begins,
members attend a week-long camp during
the summer. All day every day, they learn
the musical scores that dazzle their audi-
ences during the year. The band is such a
time-consuming activity that it is available
as a two-credit course.
"We've played popular soundtracks like
Batman and Hook, and classics including
Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera,"
said trombone player Denis DerSarkesian,
a neuroscience/psychology sophomore.
In addition to its musicians, the band is
made up of twirlers, a color guard, and
drum majors.
One of the largest organized and active
student groups on campus, the marching
band does much more than UMass football
game halftime shows. They have also per-
formed at Giants Stadium and the Univer-
sity of Delaware. The band puts on an
annual Christmas performance in Amherst,
marches in numerous parades, and plays at
several local high school events.
Much of the stabilizing force behind the
success of the band comes from band Direc-
tor and Professor, George Parks, who has
headed the band for more than 15 years.
Despite its large size, Parks wants to in-
crease the size of the band during the forth-
coming years. But becoming a member of
the band is still competitive.
Students who make the cut soon realize
how serious members are about the march-
ing band. There are even a fraternity and
sorority exclusively for band members.
Alumni of the band are commonly found on
the field helping out with organization and
making sure equipment is ready to go.
The UMass marching band is a matter of
pride to its members.
"First you need a lot of UMass students
who can play well," said DerSarkisian.
"Then they have to be willing to devote a lot
of their time and energy to the band. Then
you need a leader to organize this huge
group of students who are also musicians.
It's amazing how well we pull it all off.
We're called the "Power and Class" of New
England because it is true."

Where else on campus can you spend a
night with friends, food, and toads that
vomit up their young? At the Wildhfe Soci-
ety, of course, where club members enter-
tain and inform undergraduates, gradu-
ates, and faculty with numerous speakers
and activities.
The Wildlife Society, founded in 1937, is
an "international, non-profit scientific and
educational organization serving and rep-
resenting wildlife professionals in all areas
of wildlife conservation and resource man-
agement." Chapters on college and univer-
sity campuses nationwide offer students a
chance to participate in this character-build-
ing association.
The UMass chapter is a source of infor-
mation for students interested in the natu-
ral resources. Current news on available
jobs and volunteer opportunities have linked
students with summer activities that range
from studying gypsy moths in Cape Cod to
wildlife rehabilitation in Washington.
The chapter is also a resource for the
professional community in need of student
assistance. Student members roam the for-
ests of the Quabbin at dawn doing deer
transcect surveys, assist graduate students
in radio telemetry of porcupines, and wade
up to their waists in fisheries doing popula-
tion studies. They learn valuable skills as
well as gain experience in their fields.
Five elected officers orchestrate the
monthly meetings as well as annual activi-
ties. Activities include fundraising for the
Miami Zoo, which was devastated by Hur-
ricane Andrew during August; hosting the
annual Wildhfe Society/Society of Ameri-
can Foresters picnic; creating a summer job
transportation scholarship; and participa-
tion in the annual New England Student
Conclave.
The members of the Wildlife Society are
exceptional people. They share the common
(and sometimes warped) interest in wild-
life and the outdoors.
"Our last meeting we wolfed down pizza
and cheered as we watched David
Attenborough's Trials of Life: Hunting and
Escaping," said Heather Lanza. "When we
see roadkill we don't think 'oooh, gross,'
instead we take it home and identify it."

WMUA 91.1 FM had yet another success-
ful year broadcasting from the basement of
the Campus Center. We won our third con-
secutive Valley Advocate Reader's Poll as
the Best College Radio Station in the Val-
ley. Much credit is due to our executive
committee: Matt Williams, programmer;
Emily Stewart, chairperson; and Jack
Wright, manager. They kept us solvent,
organized, and sounding great.
We also completed our first year as a
Radio Pacifica News Affiliate. Radio Pacifica
provides our listeners with an alternative
news program that digs behind the head-
lines to provide perspectives largely miiss-
ing from the American debate. The feed-
back thus far has been positive.
Our own news department continued to
grow and improve. News Director Denise
Drago produced a professional 30-minute
weekday news program, that covered cam-
pus events as well as national news.
Sports Directors Brett Morris and Brian
Jones saw to it that the campus community
had live access to all UMass football, men's
basketball, and lacrosse games. Our state-
of-the-art equipment and well-trained
broadcasters made for crisp coverage.
Thanks to the efforts of our Telethon
Director, Roubina Surenian, we grossed
more than $17,000 during our one-week of
on-air fundraising. These funds are used
for general operating expenses and supple-
ment the money awarded to us by the Stu-
dent Government Association.
WMUA's steady diet of diverse sounds,
ranging from rap, rock, and blues, to folk,
jazz, and bluegrass, are the result of the
hard work and expertise of more than 100
volunteers. Thanks to all.

Hillel: A History of
Tradition and Faith
Because many of Hillel's active members
this year are either seniors or freshmen, it
may best be described as a transition year
for the club. The freshmen took on leader-
ship roles and executed them well. Overall,
it was a successful year and the members
are excited about future events.
The most widely attended program was
the rally against the talk by Leonard
Jeffries, a professor who was legally charged
with anti-Semitism. Some other highlights
of the year were the resolution passed by
the Undergraduate Student Senate to can-
cel classes on Yom Kippur; the Multicultural
Seder; the Holocaust Memorial Week; the
lecture by Joseph Telushkin; and the Is-
raeli Independence Day celebration.
Hillel co-sponsored activities with other
organizations such as the lecture by Paul
Parks, where the Black Mass Communica-
tions Project, Office of Third World Affairs,
and Hillel worked together to make the
program possible. Hillel also received a
budget from the Student Government As-
sociation for the first time in 70 years.
UMass Hillel has an eye toward the fu-
ture and is focused on achieving excellent
programming for next year. Already being
planned is a show by comedian Jerry
Seinfeld and a lecture by Dr. Ruth
Westheimer. Hillel will gear more of its
activities toward the social and ethnic/cul-
tural areas in the future.

Members of UMass HANDS gather each
week in a room that is silent, but visually
alive. Five College students, University
employees, adults from the local commu-
nity — some are Deaf and some are hear-
ing. But they all sign.
In its second year as a registered student
organization HANDS has nearly tripled its
membership, growing to more than seventy
men and women. What was once a handful
of people who gathered to learn sign has
become a structured club with officers,
members, and paid American Sign Lan-
guage (ASL) instructors.
"I started coming because I wanted to
learn about the language. But, now after a
couple of years, I have to say that I've gotten
just as much from the great people I've met
here (both Deaf and hearing)," said Alison
E. Roberts, a sophomore BDIC major.
The ASL classes are taught by Deaf adults
and interpreters with teaching experience.
Taken from the Signing Naturally text,
materials follow the VISTA method of teach-
ing ASL. At each level, instruction is deliv-
ered in sign without voice. In addition to
lesson plans that the individual teachers
develop, students watch an accompanjdng
video tape in order to practice reading signs.
Members occasionally meet outside of
class with the Deaf adults who serve as
teachers, in order to converse and interact
socially with the Deaf. One evening was
spent at the Classe Cafe in Amherst. No one
at the table used any voice during the night.
Even when ordering, the members pointed
to items on the menu or wrote down their
selections.
"(It added) another dimension to class.
It's important to learn (ASL) in context and
real-life conversations," said Veronica
White, a junior industrial engineering ma-
jor.
Not only does UMass HANDS provide an
environment where students and commu-
nity members can gather to sign, the club
also promotes awareness of Deaf Culture.
"The club is great! I'm learning so much
about the language and culture of the Deaf,"
said Beth Adler, an undecided freshman.
Members do not just learn signs out of a
textbook and leave proclaiming they are
proficient. Students interact with Deaf
adults. Discussions pertaining to Deaf Cul-
ture are fostered.
Each class is alive with questions and
answers. In order to appreciate and under-
stand the language of the Deaf and better
use it in practical situations, HANDS mem-
bers begin to realize how important it is to
be aware of the Culture associated with
ASL.
"(HANDS) brings to UMass a chance to
explore a language and culture so beautiful
and foreign from our own," said Michele
Martin, a senior communication disorders
and zoology major. An officer and one of the
original members, Martin added, "every-
one seems to want to know a little bit more
about (sign). The club offers people an op-
portunity to act on that curiosity."

WORLD
The Office of Third World Affairs is a
multicultural student support service
agency, working as a division member of
the Student Affairs. OTWA was established
in 1976 ar a professional agency in re-
sponse to the request of students of color for
an institutional advocacy that would be of
assistance to them.
OTWA provides the general student popu-
lation a professional organizational body
that assists, organizes, advocates, and pro-
vides resources that enhance and protect
their interests. The expanded programs
offered by OTWA have been instrumental
in broadening the awareness of students of
color to the issues of multiculturalism, so-
cial issues, life skills development, and about
humanity in general.
OTWA promotes the importance of ap-
preciating styles, ethnic and cultural back-
grounds, and other unique characteristics
of each individual. The message that rever-
berates from each activity that OTWA spon-
sors is that students can create a better
environment — one in which people recog-
nize, accept, and seek to develop the unique-
ness of each individual. The validity of
others' ethnicity, understanding, and ap-
preciation for cultural differences is a pri-
ority which is promoted and encouraged by
OTWA.
In addition to OTWA serving as an insti-
tutional advocacy, it develops programs
and conducts projects that advocate fair-
ness and humanity for all, and most impor-
tantly, students of color. OTWA is respon-
sible for ensuring the viability and effi-
ciency of students of color organizations
and development of plans and programs
that aid to fulfill a second curriculum.

Aftermath of War
JANUARY — Saddam Hussein is alive and
well and living in Baghdad — at least by
most accounts. The Mideast War ended in
February, 1991. Since that time, former
President Bush has urged the downfall of
the 55-year-old leader.
But within Iraq, Saddam Hussein ap-
pears to have grown stronger since his
troops were forced out of Kuwait. He lives,
however, under a constant threat of death
by Iraqi opposition leaders and a host of
other enemies.
It was this fear of assassination that
caused him to reorganize his personal body-
guard corps and appoint his youngest son,
Qusai, chief of presidential security.

Somalia Under Siege
AUGUST — Three months after the world
woke up to one of the worst famines in
history, food started to reach hundreds of
thousands of Somalis. Estimates of the dead
range from 10,000 to half a million, but no
one knows just how many have perished in
the Horn of Africa nation.
The central Bay region of the country has
been affected the most. It served as the
main battleground for clans fighting for
supremacy after Siad Barre's ouster. Con-
sequently, its harvests were most disrupted
and its people most uprooted, displaced,
and left in great jeopardy.
More than a million Somalis have fled
their homeland for refugee camps in neigh-
boring countries, with the wealthier citi-
zens seeking safe haven in Europe, the
United States, Canada, and elsewhere.
Central Somalia is where the interna-
tional community has concentrated its re-
lief efforts, with airlifts to the towns of
Belet Huen, Baidoa, Bardera, and Hoddur,
and airdrops to smaller villages in the re-
gion.
Many have died in the factional fighting
that has driven the nation since former
leader Siad Barre's ouster. Casualty esti-
mates range from conservative figures of
10,000 to the 60,000 estimated by the hu-
man rights group Africa Watch.

Civil War in
Yugoslavia
MAY — The territory of Yugoslavia was
originally a battleground between the
Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires.
In 1918, the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats,
and Slovenes was declared, and in 1929 it
was renamed Yugoslavia. The new country
was torn by demands for autonomy by
Croatians who opposed Serbian domina-
tion.
Of the 24 million people living there,
Serbs account for about 36 percent and the
Croats for 20 percent of the population.
Other Slav groups are the Slovenes, eight
percent; and the Montenegrins, three per-
cent. Ethnic Albanians make up nine per-
cent of the population. This cultural diver-
sity has been a source of strife for centuries.
President Tito, who ruled from 1945 until
his death in 1980, kept a tight lid on these
internal ethnic rivalries. Since his death,
however, central power has been eaten away
by the feuding republics.
Inhabitants of the territory are confronted
daily by the shelling, sniper fire, and death
of war. They take to the streets during the
occasional ceasefire, pushing and shoving,
trying to buy bread and other staples that
they need in order to live.
The war has left thousands dead, has
sent more than a million fleeing, and has
lead to the creation of detention camps,
likened to those of Nazi Germany.

Going for Gold
JUNE — An era of amateurism passed into
an age of professionalsim and the Olympics
were transformed forever, when profes-
sional athletes were allowed to compete in
the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona,
Spain.
Countering the attacks of commercial-
ism. Coach Chuck Daly argued that the
presence of pros could do nothing but en-
hance the event.
"There's 183 countries and 3 billion people
watching these games," Daly said. "And
somewhere out there now is a 13-year-old
who wants to be a Michael or a Magic, a
Larry or a Patrick. That's the role of these
games," he said. "That's what happens in
all of these sports. It gives people a dream."
The United States emerged from its two-
decade Olympic funk, finishing only four
behind in the closest medals race since
America won in 1964 in Tokyo. The country
now stands poised to rule the sports world
in Atlanta in 1996, after what is arguably
its greatest Summer Games.
America's 108 medals surpassed by one
the total in 1968 and trailed only the in-
flated totals of the Soviet-boycotted 1984
Los Angeles Games and the 1904 St. Louis
Games, attended by just 12 nations.

Bye-ByeBush!!!
NOVEMBER — The 1992 presidential elec-
tion involved the usual surprises and con-
troversy that go along with a change in
government. Republican incumbent George
Bush and running-mate Dan "Potato"
Quayle tried for re-election. Democratic
Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton with
Senator Albert Gore, and Independent
multi-millionaire Ross Perot with Admiral
James Stockdale decided to keep this from
happening.
Many controversies arose during this "in-
teresting" race, including Ross Perot's in-
and-out action. Perot was in the election,
then out, then in again!
After that, Clinton's college career came
under fire. It seems that this candidate had
the gall to "experiment" with drugs. Don't
worry, he didn't inhale! He was also ques-
tioned about why he protested the Vietnam
War while he was at Oxford University in
England as a Rhodes Scholar.
When it came down to the wire, the Clinton
team cleaned up and showed Bush the door,
leaving Perot with no electoral votes. For
the first time in 12 years, the office is
controlled by a Democrat. No more Reagan
Era. It's time for a change. Good luck Bill,
you're going to need it!

Raining Cats and
Dogs
AUGUST — Hurricane Andrew struck
southern Florida on August 24, 1992, with
wind gusting to 164 mpg and a 12-foot tidal
surge that flattened homes, uprooted trees,
flung boats into the streets, and wrecked an
Air Force base. Tent cities were set up in
Florida with room for 3,800 people.
55 deaths were directly linked to the
hurricane — 41 in Florida, 10 in Louisiana,
and four in the Bahamas.
The hurricane carved its way through the
plantation country of Louisiana, throwing
tornadoes like darts at a 100-mile-wide
target and pumping torrents of rain at
storm-weary Louisianians.
The hurricane's 54-hour U.S. rampage,
the most expensive natural disaster ever in
the country, caused damages of an esti-
mated $20 billion in Florida, $1.5 billion in
Louisiana, and $250 million in the Baha-
mas.

The Recycling Craze
SEPTEMBER — More than 20 companies,
includingMcDonald's Corp., Coca-Cola Co.,
and Sears, Roebuck and Co., launched a
national campaign to encourage U.S. busi-
nesses to buy recycled goods.
Recycling has produced vast supplies of
paper, glass, and other reusable trash, but
demand is still low.
The alliance will conduct programs
around the country to show businesses how
they can buy recycled goods and use them
in daily operations. The effort will include a
database that informs businesses where,
for example, they might buy memo pads
made of recycled paper.
While many Americans look at recycling
as a way to help the environraent, Reynolds
Metals Co. and Aluminum Co. of America
like it for more practical reasons: it saves
on bauxite mining costs.
One aluminum company manager said,
"If you have a ton of glass in your backyard,
it's worth maybe $35. A ton of steel, that's
worth maybe $50. A ton of aluminum cans,
that's worth anywhere between $700 and
$800."
Most major cities in the U.S. either have,
or have plans for, some type of recycling
program.

Tragedy in Waco
* PRIL — The standoff between Branch
J avidian members and federal agents that
tested for more than two months came to an
(id on Patriot's Day weekend. The cult's
'■'-acre compound in Waco, TX was first
i ided on February 28, leaving four agents
rthe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire-
n'ms dead and sixteen wounded. Two
i^anch Davidians were killed.
The leader of the Branch Davidians, David
! Dresh, was believed by the religious cult
: (lowers to be Jesus Christ. Although the
i ivernment never filed criminal charges or
\ jarly said what laws the Branch Davidians
,- id broken before the attack, it is believed
I at Koresh had violated firearms and ex-
osives laws.
The second and final raid was supposed
, be a surprise, but the ambush failed
because of an unexplained last-minute
phone call to Koresh, leaving him in control
of an extensive amount of illegal weapons.
The federal government gassed the cult
members in order to make them flee the
compound. Five hours later, the entire com-
pound went up in flames, killing hundreds
of Branch Davidians, including many chil-
dren.
The fire was believed to have been started
by the cult members, although survivors
claim it began when law agents intention-
ally knocked over a barrel of gasoline.
Koresh's body was later identified through
dental X-rays. Officials say he died from a
bullet wound to the head, although it has
not yet been determined if it was suicide or
murder.

Out with a Bang
FEBRUARY — In the World Trade Center
parking garage on February 26 a bomb
exploded, killing seven people and injuring
more than 500 others. The blast occurred at
12:17 p.m. in the three-story underground
garage, shaking the 110-story tower and
filling it with smoke within five minutes.
The explosion created a 100-foot crater
into which the lower floors of the building
collapsed, scattering concrete and debris
everywhere, including the adjacent com-
muter-rail station. The operations control
center was wiped out. No electrical or fire-
alarm systems were activated in the build-
ing, leaving the occupants confused and
disoriented.
750 firefighters, along with hundreds of
police and federal law enforcement offi-
cials, descended on Liberty Street in New
York City in order to evacuate more than
50,000 employees from the tower and sur-
rounding buildings.
The firefighters combed the building floor
by floor through nightfall, rescuing people
still trapped on the upper floors. As of 9:30
that night, more than 100 people still had
not been evacuated, including eight dis-
abled people on the 94th floor and a group
of schoolchildren with their adult monitors
in the elevator on the 40th floor.
The disabled people were escorted to the
roof and removed by helicopter. The chil-
dren, mostly 5- and 6-year-olds, seemed
calm and in good spirits, compared to their
adult companions, as they were led through
the dark and smoky stairways to the ground
floor.
The New York Police Department re-
ceived more than a dozen telephone calls
claiming responsibility for the explosion.
Several calls came from the "Serbian Lib-
eration Front," although U.S. officials said
they did not know of any such organization.
Immediately following the blast, all law
enforcement agencies in the Washington
D.C. area were placed on "special alert," as
were U.S. embassies around the world. At
press time, a suspect had been arrested but
no charges had been pressed.

Super Blow Out!
JANUARY— 52-17! This year's Super Bowl
could hardly be described as a nail-biter. In
fact, the only real suspense was who would
win the coin toss, the Dallas Cowboys or the
Buffalo Bills. Calling heads turned out to be
the only thing Buffalo did right during the
entire game. The Bills lost for the third
straight time, in consecutive years.
Dallas quarterback Troy Aikman played
well enough to garner MVP honors, along
with the other spoils the winner receives,
like a trip to Disney World, a spot on The
Tonight Show, and 50 interviews the morn-
ing after. Buffalo's Jim Kelly was injured
during the game, leaving his teammates to
flounder.
Unfortunately, these "Super blowouts"
have become commonplace, while Super
Bowls where the fourth quarter really mat-
ters have become painfully rare. The last
nine Super Bowls have been won by NFC
teams, often with almost embarrassing
scores. When the Bud Bowl becomes more
competitive than the Super Bowl, some-
thing has to change.

Braves 4-3 in 11 innings in game 6.
After surviving more ninth-inning magic
from the Braves, the Blue Jays won it all —
and lost their loser's label forever — when
Dave Winfield's first World Series extra
base hit scored two runs with two out.
"It's been a long, hard battle," Toronto
manager Cito Gaston said. "But I said from
opening day, these guys have been focusing
on this very thing."
The Braves, meanwhile, became the first
team to lose consecutive World Series since
the 1977-78 Los Angeles Dodgers.
A cheering, chanting, delirious sea of
humanity flooded Toronto's city center on
October 25. The glow from this win will
keep Canadians warm all winter.
"We stopped the chop" or "the chop stops
here" shouted revelers, referring to the At-
lanta fans' ritual.

Clinton Hams it Up
JUNE — Bill Clinton, sitting in with the
band, turned out an impressive version of
Heartbreak Hotel as Arsenio Hall gestured
approvingly in the musical opening of The
Arsenio Hall Show, taped at Paramount
Studios. Hall said of the presidential
hopeful's talent on the saxophone, "It's good
to see a Democrat blowing something other
than the election."
As They Fade From
The Public Eye...
They once were on every page of every
magazine. These men and women have left
this Earth, but they will live forever in our
memories. We now present our final salute
to them.
• Arthur Ashe, a tennis great and cam-
paigner against constraints on human free-
dom, died of complications relating to AIDS
on February 6.
• Alex Haley, co-author of the 1965 Autobi-
ography of Malcolm X, passed away at the
age of 70. His other notable work was the
epic Roots: The Saga of an American Fam-
ily, which earned him a Pulitzer Prize in
1977 and was converted to a TV mini-series
seen by 130 million viewers.
• Oscar-winning movie actress Audrey
Hepburn, 63, died of colon cancer in her
Switzerland home on January 30. Hepburn
starred in such classics as My Fair Lady
and Breakfast at Tiffany's before becoming
a humanitarian for the world's hungry.
• Benny Hill, British comedian
extraordinaire, brought laughs from across
the ocean to America. Benny was 67 when
he was found dead in his apartment.
• Supreme Court Justice Thurgood
Marshall, 84, died of heart failure on Janu-
ary 24. In a fitting eulogy, Chief Justice
William Rehnquist said, "Inscribed above
the front entrance to the Supreme Court
building are the words 'Equal justice under
law.' Surely no one individual did more to
make these words a reality than Thurgood
Marshall."
• Anthony Perkins, 60, after a two-year
battle with AIDS on September 12, at his
home in California. Perkins is perhaps best
remembered for his role as Norman Bates
in Alfred Hitchcock's silver screen classic.
Psycho.
• Andre Rene Roussimoff, 46, better known
to his fans as Andre the Giant, died of a
heart attack on January 30 in Paris. The
former world wrestler's credits include his
role as Fezzick, the gentle giant, in The
Princess Bride.
• Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap
tall buildings in a single bound, it's SU-
PERMAN! Yes, the valiant fighter of evil
died in November after meeting his match
in the Doomsday alien. Superman will be
missed after his 54 years of unselfish ser-
vice. (Between you and me, he'll be back
soon, so dry your tears!)
• Mary Wells, 49, of larynx cancer at the
Kenneth Norris Jr. Institute, on July 26.
The singer had many hits during the early
1960s including her signature song, My
Guy.

The Ne-w Students Program is an orien-
tation for freshmen and transfer students
that is held during the first half of each
summer and staffed primarily by UMass
undergraduate students. The two day pro-
gram is designed so that the students will
become better acquainted with their class-
mates, and more comfortable with the col-
lege atmosphere.
During the day, students are encouraged
to take advantage of the many information
sessions, including a film on choosing a resi-
dential area, selection of classes for the fall,
meetings and interviews for the Honors Pro-
gram, and campus tours.
At night the Quad in Northeast, where
the students are housed, comes alive. The
students can participate in volleyball or sit
on the grass and eat pizza and watch a
movie. Typically, the sound of laughter can
be heard w^ell into the night.
On their final day, the students have
time to meet their parents for lunch at
Franklin Dining Commons, w^here they can
discuss the classes they have chosen and
new^ friends they have made.
Many of the students w^ho have partici-
pated in orientation said that the program is
a good way to meet other people in a relaxed
environment, without the pressure of aca-
demics.
Some students have problems finding
buildings — with or without a map. One
freshman thinks that students are rushed
into choosing courses, and felt lonely during
the program because it seemed as if the
other students already had friends before
they arrived at UMass.
But most incoming freshmen and trans-
fer students agree that overall, summer ori-
entation is fun, and the friendly counselors
produce a feeling of excitement about at-
tending the University.

In
The alarm clock rang early, its
loud sound more startling than ever.
Tired from a night of light and rest-
less sleep (in •what might have been
the last time for many endless
months) in a comfortable bed, you
roll onto the floor and into the shower
with your heart racing and stomach
turning.
It's moving-in day. Your family
seems suspiciously more cheery than
usual, and your excited hopes for the
future have suddenly soured as the
anticipation and fear of what is to
come starts sinking in.
The trip to UMass is spent check-
ing and re-checking that you've got
everything you'll need during the
next year. Your parents offer verbal
assistance intended to soothe your
frayed nerves, but they really only
make it ■worse.
Is it possible that everything you
own, your life for the past 18 years,
can so easily be crammed into the
back of the car? You re-check the list,
again.
As you arrive on campus it's like
entering a strange world. You feel so
small in this place of unfamiliar faces,
looming buildings, and chaotic go-
ings-on. It's as if everyone know^s
each other already, and you're the
only nervous, out-of-place person
there.
A white, barren room awaits as
you lug all your possessions across
the bustling parking lot and through
the crovirds of parents and students.
As you begin to meet random people
in the halls and outside the building,
you find that people are friendly and
just as nervous as you. Your room-
mate moves in, not the strange, im-
posing threat you had nightmares
about, but instead someone very
much like you.
As your parents say goodbye you
find that it is you -who consoles them.
In fact, your hovering, emotional
mother and preachy father are be-
ginning to get in the v/ay of moving-
in and meeting the people on your
floor.
The faces that w^ere once unfa-
miliar and uncaring begin to seem
friendly and open, and the potential
of your w^hite cell-like room gets more
exciting as you talk with your room-
mate.
And while, in the excitement of
moving-in, the fact that you may not
eat or sleep very well for months may
not be obvious, the potential of the
UMass campus and the four (or so)
years still ahead of you seem incred-
ible, and you can't "wait to get started.

Fresh
Out of
I stepped out of my father's bur-
gundy Buick and stared in awe at my
new home. My palms were sw^eaty
and clammy, and my stomach turned
in nervous somersaults.
I had dreamed about college ever
since I started high school. I had
looked forw^ard to having freedom
and being totally reliant upon my-
self. But suddenly, as I stood in front
of Dickinson, I had mixed feelings
about this -whole college thing. Part
of me -was excited, but a bigger part
of me w^as ■wondering w^hy I had
worked so hard to get here in the first
place.
My parents left and I -was thrust
into this overw^helming world of
strange people and confusing emo-
tions. I w^ondered why I w^as so ex-
cited about becoming my own per-
son. I felt out of place and left out. I
didn't know^ anyone and it didn't seem
like anyone wanted to know^ me.
This place seemed so huge, so
intimidating, and so horrible. And I
didn't want to be here. I ^vanted to go
home!
After a few^ days of complaining
to my parents and crying myself to
sleep, my feelings started to change.
I met my next-door neighbors. Sue
and Amy, and everything slow^ly be-
gan to fall into place.
We started hanging-out together
and ■within a fe'w days ^ve were best
friends. I joined a few clubs and
started talking to people in my
classes. I realized how^ easy it is to fit
in and meet ne'w people. It just takes
a little effort and lots of determina-
tion.
I've grown accustomed to my new
life, and I wonder how I could have
ever been afraid. Everything I did to
get here suddenly seems -worth it.
The fear inside me has been replaced
by confidence.
I finally understand -what my
parents meant when they said these
would be the best years of my life. My
home in New Jersey will always be
there for me, but for now I'm happy
here, in my home aw^ay from home.

Major
Decisions
When I was still living the shel-
tered life at home, and still going to
high school, my future seemed to be
i right in front of me, all planned out.
But somewhere bet'ween my senior-
year summer and my sophomore year
at the University, this "grand plan"
i became extremely complicated.
My plan -was no longer an option.
'No more med-school for me, and now
I'm forced to find a ne-w major. My
dreams have become just that,
dreams.
It seems as though I'm not alone
-when it comes to trying to figure out
what to do with the rest of my life.
Choosing a major is far from easy.
John Auchter, a sophomore pre-com-
rmunications major, has been through
three majors and will probably
change again.
"How am I supposed to kno-w what
I w^ant to do with the rest of my life?
I'm only 19!" he said.
Deb McGill, a senior hotel, res-
taurant, and travel administration
major, took the same path as Auchter.
She's tried roughly every major on
campus! Seriously though, McGill
has changed majors four times be-
cause, "I couldn't make up my mind,"
she said.
What is so difficult about choos-
ing a major? There are as many rea-
sons as there are people on Earth.
The most common answ^er that I have
heard is that the future is too uncer-
tain to determine which path to take.
Everybody w^ants to be able to go
from college to the -working w^orld
with a decent future and a paycheck.
Nobody ^vants to go into the world
and get bored with what they have
chosen to "do with the rest of their
hves."
The solution to finding the ideal
major is still unknown to me. I've
toyed with the idea of getting out of
the English department and trying
something totally new. Oh, w^hat the
heck, it's only my future.
In parting, good luck to all w^ho
are uncertain about the future . You're
not alone!

F^!LThrough
Britain
From soaking up culture at a lo-
cal pub to sightseeing at Stonehenge,
Hadrian's Wall, and York Minster,
students on exchange at Oxford Uni-
versity have the opportunity to expe-
rience the unique culture that is
Great Britain.
The Oxford Summer Seminar, in
its 28th year, is a program founded
at and operated by the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst. The pro-
gram is open to all American stu-
dents who desire to study English
literature.
"It was the most intellectually
inspiring summer I have ever spent,
and one of the most enjoyable," said
Bill Kyros, a senior history major.
"From the high quality of the fellows
and life within the walls of Oxford
University to soaking in the British
culture and traveling to London and
Paris, I will always remember my
Oxford experience."
Students enrolled in the program
spend six weeks during the summer
at Trinity College. Oxford is actually
a collective of more than 30 colleges,
including Trinity. Each has its own
faculty, living accommodations, li-
brary, and office of admissions.
"Oxford is one of the most beauti-
ful European cities, and this is ap-
parent in its compactness and cohe-
siveness," said David Paroissien,
English professor and program di-
rector. "It is a collection of old, 12th
to 19th century, architectural styles.
There is no American 'campus.' The
city is made up of colleges and around
them are the shops, the pubs, the
commercial aspects of Oxford."
The program enrolls 50 to 70 stu-
dents each summer, and UMass and
Five College students receive lower
tuition rates. Students are required
to complete one six- week course and
also have the option to take a second,
three-week course. The classes are
rich in English tradition, from "The
Sublime and the Gothic" to "The Brit-
ish Tradition of Satire," and British
creative w^riting.
Each course admits a maximum
of 12 students who regularly engage
in one-on-one meetings with their
teachers. It is not uncommon for a
tutor to take his or her class on a trip
to visit the London sites described in
the w^orks they read about.
"My best experience at Oxford
was w^hen a friend and I rented a car
for a weekend and went to visit
Cornwall. It is one of the most beau-
tiful regions in the world," said Jen
Blunt, a senior English and political
science major. "The people are amaz-
ingly friendly, and the countryside is
filled with ruins. We went to visit
Tintagle, the castle of King Arthur.
The ruins of the castle sit on a cliff
above the sea. I would love to go
back."

College — we're on our ow^n, at
last. Freedom to do ■what w^e want,
when -we want. No parents to look
over our shoulders, no one to tell us
what to do. And, of course, no squab-
bling with bratty sisters and broth-
ers.
Then it comes — summer. Time
to go back to the folks, time to fight
with the little sister about who's go-
ing to do the dishes. That is, until the
fall, when we can go back to being on
our own — no authority, no family.
Right?
Not alw^ays. With the high cost of
private colleges and universities,
more and more young adults are opt-
ing for state schools, and UMass is
the first choice for many. This often
means that parents are sending more
than one student to UMass at the
same time.
I "It's kind of cool," said a woman
w^hose younger sister also attends
the University. "We didn't hang-out
as much at home, but now we see
each other all the time and do a lot of
stuff together, even though we live in
different areas on campus."
And w^hat about the younger sib-
ling? She said her sister's presence
here influenced her decision to at-
tend UMass, and helped her adjust
to college life on a campus that can
seem over-whelming and maze-like.
Hopefully, the older siblings are
more than happy to help out. Espe-
cially w^hen we remember our first
few d'T.ys at UMass, roaming the cam-
pus with map in hand and confused,
embarrassed expressions on our
faces!

College hasn't been all that re-
grettable an experience for me so far.
How^ever, as a junior, I've had to deal
with much more stress which has
caused me to nearly crack on more
than one occasion. I don't know what
"seniorship" -will bring next year, but
if it's any more hectic than what I'm
going through now, I may have to
throw^ in the towel.
People might tell me to relax, and
I hear their advice. It's just that I
think there had better be a big prize
at the bottom of this Cracker Jack
box because education or not, the
stress has increased tenfold.
First and foremost, I've no'w gone
three straight years with nary a dime
to my name. Not that I ever had a
bursting wallet before, but now the
only thing I can pay is attention,
which is hard enough.
The first two years, my family
could actually afford to send me
money now and then. It w^asn't much,
mind you, but green just the same.
No'w I get excited when I find a nickel
on the ground. That's w^hy I'm an
upperclassman still living in the
dorms.
Others may figure that by living
off-campus they're saving money on
rent and food, but I've got too much
hassle as it is to w^orry about bills like
that. The only payments I have to
make now are for my new^ single (in
yippee-yahoo, "just up the hill" Syl-
van), and my ongoing shrink fees.
And then there's the classes. Al-
though I'm grateful the registrar
didn't hit me -with any 8 o'clocks, the
core of my curriculum is in full effect.
That means there are no more dippy
Gen Eds and pass/fail options to ease
my journalism w^orkload.
And who can forget the hassle
that is field experience? Writing cover
letters, resumes, filing transcripts,
putting together w^riting samples,
and riding on that merry-go-round of
"no experience, no job, but how^ can I
get experience if I can't get a job?" I
w^onder if I'll ever w^rite anything for
pay.
Aside from all the complaining I
do, there are definite blessings to
being a junior in college. This year I
turned 2 1 , and although I'm not a big
drinker, it's nice that I don't have to
w^orry about fake IDs when I want a
frosty. I can just sit back and sip
however much my scrawny income
can afford. Besides, I only have one
year left to live it up.
The fact that my college career is
already more than half-finished
makes me shiver, too. I worry about
making a living because I'm not go-
ing to be residing at home forever. I
guess I'll just hope for the best. Be-
sides, I still have to pass the classes
~'m in now^ before I can -worry about
real job.
'■ez, college and life do seem to
' )\it worrying, don't they? But, I
tlf.ey don't have to be.

Finally
Once we become juniors and our
required 30 credit-hours of living in
the dorms are over, opportunity
knocks — hterally , on the front doors
of our new apartments. We can es-
cape into the real \vorld, •where there
are no more RAs signing people in, or
false fire alarms at 2:00 in the morn-
Ah, the freedom. We can come
and go \vhenever we want, and drive
to school instead of hiking across
campus to get to class. We have call-
waiting and cable TV, and a kitchen
with a dishwasher.
There's nothing like opening the
front door to get the mail, compared
with trudging do-wn four flights of
stairs. And who can forget the par-
ties: telling a few friends and having
50 people (that none of the room-
mates have ever seen before) destroy
the apartment in their search for the
keg.
We move in with our best friends.
Why was there no one to warn us
that these people are slobs, and are
prone to using the phone at all hours
of the day and night? There are cat
fights; friendships -walked on a fine-
line of love and hate; problems com-
ing and going. But someho^v it's still
much better to go home to a couch, a
TV, and a friend than to a dormitory
full of strangers.
Finally we get used to each other,
again. We've learned each others
habits, and learned to live in peace
and live it up. Our best friends are
really our best friends again.
Time flies. As our final semester
dwindles a-way we pack up the things
that w^e thought w^e'd need and never
did, try to find some poor sophomore
to buy our battered furniture, and
put up signs pleading "Take Over
Our Lease!" But, even after all the
fun and the stress, living off campus
w^as an experience we will never for-
get.
-by Melissa Benoit
Can I See
Some ID???
I never thought I'd get here.
Schlepping around the dorms fresh-
man and sophomore year I used to
sadly wave goodbye to my "of age"
friends as they went off on what I
considered a fascinating, exotic event:
barhopping. Looking back, I don't
know what I thought these places
would be like, but during the three
years that I spent under the age of 2 1
at the University, I w^as thrilled w^ith
the idea of the "forbidden."
So here I am at 2 1 . WTnen I dreamed
of this age a couple of years ago, I
envisioned endless nights of party-
ing around tow^n with my pals. Obvi-
ously, I was under the impression
that once I turned 211 would become
independently wealthy, and be able
to treat my friends to a few "beehs"
on a regular basis. Because this
wealth didn't become a reality, I am
only able to go out occasionally. The
constraints of money, classes, and
real-life w^eigh on me heavily.
After several months of being 21,
I've come to a few realizations. The
best thing about finally being con-
sidered an "adult," w^ell to a certain
extent at least, is not going out and
drinking yourself into a stupor. It's
having the freedom to go out and
have a couple of drinks with friends
in order to relax and ease the pres-
sures that w^ork, school, and families
put upon us. Not to mention being
able to see a plethora of great bands
that don't give 18-and- over shows.
I must confess, though, that some
of the thrill still hasn't worn off. It
makes me so happy to be carded.
Every time I go to the "packie" I'm
still pscyhed when the cashier asks
for my ID, although I still feel as if
I'm breaking the la-w. It's just one
step closer to the "real world." Ugh,
I wish I w^ere a freshman again.

A Letter from the
Editor
"Yearbook Geek." I used to vieiA?
that exclamation in a negative way.
But no-w as a three-year veteran of
the INDEX and the pubUshing busi-
ness, I take a sense of pride in calHng
myself a "Yearbook Geek." It is a
name that symbolizes all that I have
done in the past years on the staff,
and it makes me remember all of the
time and effort that goes into produc-
ing a yearbook.
For many of us, a yearbook is a
chronicle of the time ive spent at
school. For myself it goes much deeper
in that I kno"w \vhat goes into produc-
ing these pages. Each page has a
story to tell about how it came to-
gether, or almost did not come to-
gether. W^e at the INDEX have put
parts of ourselves into this book, and
w^e hope readers will sense that when
they take their strolls down memory
lane.
Back in September when the staff
came together for the first time, I
w^as excited about the possibility of
getting organized and -winning an
award for this year's book. Well, w^e
surprised ourselves by winning one
for the first 16 pages alone! CON-
GRATULATIONS!!
After winning that aw^ard we have
not let up and the book looks great. I
w^ish w^e all could go and see it come
off the press for the first time. You
are all appreciated and are now^ a
part of INDEX history. You are do-
ing a great job in trying to get every-
thing done under the gun. Thanks,
everybody!
Speaking of thanks there are some
people that have been invaluable to
us in the production of the 124th
edition of the UMass INDEX.
Thanks, first of all to Linda, w^ho
learned a new^ meaning to the w^ord
STRESS. I know you may not know^
or believe this but you did it right all
year long. As managing editor there
is no one to tell you what's right or
■wrong but I'm telling you that you
did it right.
To the other excellent staff mem-
bers: Scott, Melissa V., Jen, Wendy,
Joanne, Amy, Melissa B., and Joe,
you did an outstanding job and you
can be proud of your accomplish-
ments. In addition, I would like to
thank Mom and Dad, Margaret
Arsenault, the Student Activities
Office, Jeff Holland for all of the
advice David "just a Gigolo" Roth
and his partner in crime Sandy,
Donna Bell, Mike Sergeant, Neil
Weidman, Bruno's pizza. Price Chop-
per, Silver Screen Designs,
Walsworth Publishing, DaVor Pho-
tography, and College Publications.
As the year draws to a close there
are a fe^w thoughts I would like to
share with the world. Live fast and
drive slow, change the smoke detec-
tor batteries once a year, be good to
each other, and always appreciate
the Yearbook Geeks in your lives!
-by Matt Putnam, Editor in Chief
On a special note I would like to mention a friend of mine
who has made my college experience much more enjoyable.
Irene Bach is the lady who flips I.D.s in the check cashing
office. She has been a constant source of smiles, baseball
stories, cash, and warmth for me during the past four years.
During this year Irene lost her husband, Joseph Bach, and
I would like to dedicate my part in this book to his memory.
I never knew him but I knew his wife, and I want her to
know that I will always remember her, and that if she needs
something I will be there. To my friend Irene, thank you for
all you have done. You will not be forgotten.

Tara Marie Hartnett
1971-1993
"Good friend, why did you
have to go, just when I was
getting to know you? I'll sing
this song to show you were a
good friend, they don 't make
'em quite like you, and in my
memory you'll always be a
good, good friend to me. "
-Kenny Rogers (written by Kim
Carnes and Dave Ellingson),
"You Were a Good Friend"
We lived with you, laughed
with you, cried with you, and a
little piece of us died with you.
Although our time with you was
much too short, each of us is a
better person for having known
you.
Tara, you touched our lives
with your love and friendship.
You will remain in our hearts
and minds forever.
We love you always.
YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND"

Like Midnight Mad-
ness in the fall, Haigis
Hoopla is the basketball
event of the spring. Teams
of students battle three on
three for the title of cham-
pion and the glory that goes
with it. Students, people
from the community, and
even vendors gather to cel-
ebrate the beginning of
spring and the end of the
regular basketball season.
After intense competitions,
the parties begin.

ball as the others quickly follow.
The competition at Haigis was

The musical event of
the year is, of course, the
annual Spring Concert. Ru-
mors fly weeks ahead of the
actual day — which bands
will perform, and who will
headline ? The day finally ar-
rives and droves of students
migrate toward the pond. The
ducks, meanwhile, head else-
where. The parachute club
even made a special jump
into the pond.

but hopefully we 'II get past

the knowledge and skills
we've learned. Underclass-
