Small Steps
^!^S THE WORLD AROUND US is
constantly changing, the Uni-
versity constantly changes the
academic system to allow us, its
students, the opportunity to be
more attractive to the future
employers.
Evolution isn't all leaps
and bounds into the future; the
past is just as important. The
Old Chapel reminds us of our
roots, while the Lederle Gradu-
ate Research Tower and its new
neighbor, the Polymer Research
Center, foreshadow our future.
As students, changing into the
thinkers and dreamers of the
future, we must remember from
where we came. So even though
the future forces the University
to expand, part of its heritage
still remains.
OPENING 5
' he University of Massachusetts at Amherst evolves to welcome
the future with open arms. Each year, the University expands its
academic departments, grounds, and services to provide its stu-
dents with as many resources as possible. Essentially, the Univer-
sity is the womb of the future, constantly forming many pieces of
the future.
This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Index and to
celebrate this momentous occasion, we want to look at where we
came from and look at where we are going. It is very important to
move forward, but at the same time it is important to remember
our past.

S THE SENIORS GRADUATE, the
dusk of one part of life comes to
an end. Yet on the horizon, a
new dawn begins. There comes
a time when we all must say
goodbye to the University. In
our constant evolution, we reach
a point where the University
cannot nurture us any further;
to continue to grow and change,
there is only one last frontier to
conquer — the outside life, the
real world. The future for all is
endless. The future holds many
new things that will change our
lives in unimaginable ways.

You're walking, you're talking, heading
down the staircase towards the Hatch for
study group when you see it (gasp) . . . the
Student Union Craft Center. What do you
do? Well about 4,000-6,000 of us stop in every
year and that is just students! The craft center
is open to EVERYONE interested — but as
UMass students, we get free membership. It
is a fun, creative place to hang out, and a
portion of our student activity fee goes to-
wards keeping it open. So why not use it!?
Even those of us who happen to be "artisti-
cally impaired " can get some-
thing out of the center be-
cause there is no pressure,
excellent instruction, and the
students who run it are just
cool!
The UMass Student
Union Craft Center is open
40 hours a week and is one of
the largest and best equipped
college craft centers in the
country. They offer everything! From jew-
elry making and silk-screening to sewing
and ceramics. The craft center even offers
some "off-the-wall" artsy things like sandal
making. And the great thing is, all these
activities are very, very affordable. It has
already been said that membership is free for
UMass students, but get this, so are any tools
you need and all levels of instruction (Yes,
FREE!). You only pay for the materials, which

activities that the Student Union Craft Center has
to offer students. Workshops are also offered to
train students in various art techniques.

are really inexpensive since
the Craft Center is non-profit.
They even allow you to use
your own materials, and they
will still help you!
Our Craft Center not only
offers walk-in creative fun,
but you can also sign up for
monthly workshops. Picture
this, a teeny tiny materials
fee, you get into a small class,
and end up with a masterpiece that you
could re-create because the Craft Center
taught you how to.
All and all, the Student Union Craft Cen-
ter is a GREAT educational and extracurricu-
lar resource for UMass and the Amherst area
as a whole. There is definitely no better place
to go to relieve that pent up creativity in all of
us - without the stress of being graded on it!

The four person steer-

accounting, publicity and basic operation

who staff the Co-op, manning the shop
throughout the week and assisting students
with their problems.
The Co-op is a place where anyone can
fix their bike. The Co-op provides students
with a cheap alternative to the prices of
shops in town while giving them an educa-
tion in bicycle repair. The Bicycle Co-op

sales room that sells
components at com-
petitive prices.
In the past few years, the Co-op' s popu-
larity has greatly increased. "Before, only
road-riders used to come in, but now a lot
more regular patrons come in with moun-
tain bikes," says senior Resource Econom-
ics major Chris Carrara. Because of the
demand for the Co-op' s services, the Co-op
is hoping to expand. Nathan Webber sums
up the Co-op, "Basically what the Co-op is,
is a non-profit organization where students
can fix their bikes cheap, while learning

As a Jewish woman, I spent a long time
searching for a place where I really felt
comfortable. For a while, I expected such a
place to find me, but that didn't happen. I
realize now that I had to go out and look for
it. I found it at Hillel House, located at 388
North Pleasant Street, one PWXWfFVW&f
block from campus.
Hillel House, the
largest student organiza-
tion at UMass, provides
activities, classes, and
programs to allow the
Jewish population at
UMass to have a sense of
community and family.
This includes a residen-
tial area located on the top ■■■■■■■
floor of the Hillel House comprising of
twenty-six students of different religious
faiths. According to Diana Cohen, the resi-
dential assistant at Hillel House, Hillel is
"an umbrella organization" that encom-
passes Israeli affairs, Black Jew and
Women's Issues, and religious, social, and
political activities. Some of these activities
include a trip to the Holocaust Museum in
Washington D.C., Israeli Cafe Night, and a
visit from Jerry Seinfeld.
Hillel is an organization that cares about
the Jewish people. There have been relief
efforts to help the Jews of
war torn countries such as
Yugoslavia, Somalia, and
Bosnia. There are classes
offered at Hillel that en-
courage students to be
proud of their heritages
and to work together so
that all Jewish students
can have that same
chance. One member of
.iiSMMStfiM Hillel says, "Knowing I'm
helping my fellow Jews makes me a better
person. I always walk out of Hillel feeling
like I made a difference in somebody's life.
Everyone should have the right to be proud
of where they came from. Hillel is really
into that."

meet new people and socialize, but also pro-
vide a new way of looking at life, through the
eyes of another culture. Chaza Credi, a new
member of ISA states, "It's amazing to see
how many people from different cultures
there are around you on campus and how
much you can learn from backgrounds dif-
ferent than your own.
The club has seen excellent turn
outs to all its functions this year and sees
itself expanding a lot in the next few months
as students become more involved in its
different activities and offer input that will
make the club an exciting and
enriching opportunity. The
various members of the or-
ganization are very excited
with the future events spon-
sored by the ISA and feel their
involvement has broadened
their knowledge of other cul-
tures. Member Rachel Matthai says, "The
International Students Association allows me
to diversify by coming in contact with over
30 different nationalities." She, like other
members feel the ISA is an experience all

Managing Editor of the paper, is at UMass.
As a Journalism major, she's been with the

at the editorial desk.
"I have stayed at UMass," she said, "be-
cause of The Collegian. There's no other way
to put it. This is the greatest playground for
journalists. You get a chance to play every-

met are my best friends. We also have the

music. I turn on my radio and search for a
good station when suddenly a catchy tune
grabs my attention: It's WMUA, our own

91.1 FM. Having never been a big fan of
college radio, I was
pleasantly surprised to
find that WMUA of-
fered a wide variety of
music and entertain-
ment that addresses
evenmy unique tastes.
Part of WMUA's
appeal is its emphasis
on modem music and
multi-culturalism . Through such programs
as Dave Farley's "Pork Roll and Cheese,"
WMUA addresses a very diverse range of
tastes. Local and up-and-coming bands are
just some of the music that floods the air-

new music. With focuses on such things as

Taking People

and Doing Things with Them
The Outing Club took an exception-

that went out every weekend was astonish-

We introduced many beginners to the

tested their skills at rock
climbing with Frank, Ian,

price of higher education is sky-rocketing
out of control.
Each year, the group goes to Boston and
Washington D.C. to meet with legislature
and law makers to express the need for finan-
cial aid for the student body.
The University of Massachu-
setts is the only school in the
entire nation to have a stu-
dent lobbying group for fi-
nancial aid. This fact gives the group a well
deserved reputation among Senators, Rep-
resentatives, law makers, and other high of-
ficials.
This group fights for every student who
can't afford the growing tuition. This group
fights for education, for the future.

Spectrum Magazine was first intro-
duced to the University of Massachusetts in
1967 as a general interest publication whose
contributors consisted primarily of profes-
sors. The premier issue of Spectrum was
composed of essay, fiction, poetry, and
photography bound between two black cov-
ers and highlighted with a piece of psyche-
delic art composed of primary colors. At
that time, the magazine was a biannual
affair and during the Sev-
enties Spectrum became
a student-run publication
which accepted submis-
sions from undergraduate
and graduate artists from
the Five College commu-
nity. Spectrum is a regis-
tered undergraduate stu-
dent organization whose
funding stems from the
undergraduate Student
Senate, the UMass Arts
Council, and the Student Affairs Cultural
Enrichment Fund. Each year, Spectrum
seeks undergraduate and graduate students
to join its staff and review submissions in
art, photography, poetry, and prose. People
are also encouraged to join Spectrum' s pub-
licity and production staffs to help promote
and publish the annual magazine.
In recent years, Spectrum has hosted
several poetry and prose readings in Me-
morial Hall and the Amherst Black Sheep

been accepted for the publication are dis-
played. This year, Spectrum plans to help
sponsor art majors display their senior the-
sis projects as an effort to assist persons
unable to acquire space at
local galleries to have a
showing of their works.
Spectrum encourages new

It can hardly be said that the University
of Massachusetts lacks multicultural outlet!
for the large student body that inhabits thi
Amherst campus. The Five College Euro
pean Club is one such outlet. Initiated ui
1991, the club provides students with thi
opportunity to learn, examine, and enjo1'
many cultural and educational aspects oc
various European countries.
The club attracts membership of whaj

the organization fulfills the needs of mam
students of European background, as well a.i
other students who are interested in botii
historical and current economic, politicali
and social issues of the greater European
region. The senior Economics Management
major founded the club with the idea tha;
"all Five-College Area students should b>
able to know what is going on in Europe."
The event which gained the Five-Col

All of the European Club activities are
carefully recorded and stored in the Univer-

ties, pictures and poster were all stored in a
time capsule and planted under a tree be-
tween the Student Union and the Library in
the spring.
As the main vein of the Five College
consortium of European organizations, the
UMass branch is an integral presence on
campus and in the Valley. All students are
encouraged to join, and, judging from the
variety of both educational and entertaining
achievements of the club, will undoubtedly
learn from the experience and enjoy them-
selves in the process. "We have done the
impossible. Despite all the UMass bureau-
cracy, we brought the most prominent Euro-
pean VIPs and organized the most successful

For several years, the American
Society of Civil Engineers at the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts has provided
a connection for civil engineering stu-
dents between the classes they take,
their professors, and real world engi-
neering practice. As with any profes-
sional society, ASCE has been com-
mitted to helping reinforce lessons
learned in the classroom as well as
build friendships that will last a life-
time. "
The 1993-1994
officers of ASCE
have spent this year
reviving old traditions
with the chapter as
well as working to in-
crease its participation
in local, regional, and
national activities and
competition. In the ffOMUMMBiMB
past, the ASCE student chapter has
always tried to commit its resources to
a local community service project, and
this year was no exception. Scott
Galbraith, the president of the student
chapter, organized a volunteer team of
UMass Civil Engineering students to
help the town of Ware build a commu-
nity playground. For this year, ASCE is
planning another great project in Groff
Park in South Amherst. With the help
of the Amherst Conservation Commis-
sion, the ASCE chapter is looking into
constructing three small foot bridges,
approximately 25 feet in length, to carry
hikers over the many small streams that
criss-cross the area.
The largest and most gratifying
project of this year' s ASCE chapter was
the construction, presentation and rac-
ing of the FOGGY BOTTOM, a 385 lb.
prize-winning concrete canoe. This
project taught members lessons that
never would have been learned in any
classroom. Crew management, concrete
working, transporting large, heavy
things 500 miles and concrete canoe
racing techniques were all part of the
curriculum. Shawn P.
Kelley, the project
manager, didn't rest
from the day the mix
design was prepared
until the day Anatoly
Darov and Travis
Mitchell crossed the
finish line in first place
in the 200 meter
B sprint. The long road
to the competition at the University of
Maine at Orono was worth every mile
as the UMass chapter of ASCE did
extremely well, despite their lack of
experience.
Along with providing its members
with the opportunity to become a pro-
ductive part of their community,
ASCE's main goal is to help develop
leadership skills that civil engineers
will need in the years to come.

Just about everyone has wanted
to fly away at one time, to soar away
from terra firma and their troubles
like a bird on the wing. Daedalus
and his son Icarus, from Greek
mythology, constructed wings to sail
to another land (and would have
made it if the sun wasn't so hot). The
Wright brothers, as well, chased their
crazy dreams to the sky at Kitty
Hawk. There were many who shared
the love of flight, and even today in advertis-
ing we see the aspect of taking off and sky-
rocketing away. You can see everything in a
different way from the top.
The University's hang gliding club of-
fers the experience of height to all those who
want to experience it. From those who want
to achieve their dream of ascension to those
overcome by weak knees, the hang gliding
club helps all overcome their apprehension
by guiding them step by step higher and
higher.
"It's fun — a strange feeling" says James
White, treasurer for the club which has its
office beside the post office in the Student
Union. "Have you ever dreamt of flying?
This is the way to make it happen."
pa
ON THE
ING
OF
TOMORROW
The club on campus has about 25 current
members, according to White, and does most
of its instruction at Morningside Flight Park
in Claremont, NH. Every semester, the group
brings 15 to 20 interested people into the
park for a two day weekend where profes-
sional instructors monitor their progress.
"We have lots of rugged equipment, in-
cluding about 12 gliders, so it's easier to get
more experience," says Peter Corey, the club' s
president. "Its easier to overcome the fear of
heights by taking it on gradual!
and the thrill would possibly dt
tract you from the height."
"They don't send anyone whin
not ready, it's a very gradual thinjij
Corey said. "Of course, anyone w.
doesn't recognize his or her limn
runs the risk of getting hurt. Bulii
you're careful about it, it can ben
safe, incredibly fun experience a
ery flight."
Corey and White both stresss
that hang gliding is not to be confused wv
sky-diving, because in more advanced stall
of their sport, it's possible to gain altituu
whereas with parachuting it's just a matteri
falling.
"I think people's misconception is til
it' s dangerous and a quick movement," Whl'
said, "It's a hobby and when you're up thei
it can last a long time — it's a eupho
feeling."
//Tj ave you ever dreamt of flying? This is a way to
make it happen... when you're up there it can

Most people, at one time or another
during their lives, have fantasized about
what it would be like to fly—or, at least, the
thought has crossed their minds. Obvi-
ously, it can't be done naturally, but those
brave enough to want to do it may opt for
the closest alternative: skydiving. And many
of them decide to try it for
the first time at UMass.
After all, college is a time
to try new things andhave
new experiences, right?
Still, fear of heights or
falling may hold many
wanna-be skydivers back.
"It's a natural fear,"
says Jeff Agard of the
UMass Parachute Club.
"But I wanted to do it
badly, so I ignored the IJKKK^KKKKM
fear." Indeed he did, as he's made about 65
jumps since trying it for the first time last
May.
Established here in 1957, the Para-
chute Club now has a membership of over
60. The club is open to anyone, although the

In order to jump, one must first com-

"And a one, two, three; one,
two, three..." If you've ever
taken any kind of dance class,
these words probably were prob-
ably ingrained into your head as
you stepped, spun and leapt
around the dance floor. Now,
for the first time, the UMass
Dance Club took their one-two-
threes onto the stage and in front
of a team of
team
^ judges.
The idea for the
Dance Club was born not
too long ago when a group
of ballroom dance stu-
dents decided to bring
their Waltzing and Tango
talent into competition as
well as to the local dances
in the Five College area.
The dancers formed the
group in the fall of 1993
and named it "In-Step," open to all Social
Dance students or anyone else in the Five
College area with an interest in competing.
Although it is not very large now, the
club is hoping to grow as more become
aware of the exciting opportunities it of-
fers. General meetings are held on Sunday
afternoons and competition meetings are
held on Wednesday nights. The club also
holds regular dance workshops open to any-
one interested. In the past these have in-
cluded a five hour workshop the club co-
sponsored last September with the U.S.
Amateur Ballroom Dance Association
taught by renowned instructors Randy Deats
and Kathy St. Jean of the Youth College
Network.
"In-Step" enters competitions with
other colleges and high schools from all
over New England and has
competed with schools as
far away as Harvard and
Yale. In January, the club
traveled to Clearwater, FL
for the International Dance
Festival. The festival was
attended by universities,
high schools, middle
schools and adult dance
teams from all over the
country.
Still less than a year
old, "In-Step" will hopefully keep growing
as membership increases and enthusiasm
over dancing continues to grow. So if you're
ever in the mood for a good time and for
some good spirited competition, grab a part-
ner and get ready to Cha-Cha your way
around New England.

The spring of 1993 was a trying
time for the Air Force ROTC. Only
25 people out of 18,000 were aiming
high last spring which motivated an
investigation by the Academic Af-
fairs committee into the contribu-
tions that the Air Force ROTC made
to the campus. The Air Force ROTC,
also known as the department of
Aerospace Studies, is unique at the
University in that it is the only pro-
gram which upon graduation a stu-
dent can become an officer. It offers
courses in Aerospace Studies for its
cadets and the general campus com-
munity, and gives those involved in
its honor society the opportunity to
participate in a variety of commu-
nity services.
This fall, enrollment in the Air
Force ROTC increased by 30% to 33
while other members continue in
their duties on and off campus. The
program "gives students opportu-
nities to get additional leadership
experience," said Major Koren, an
assistant professor of Aerospace
Studies. On campus, the officers in
training are the color guard at bas-
ketball games and cooperate with
the Army ROTC in displaying the
school's colors at football games.
Graduations, at least for the time
being, will not be devoid of the four
ship (four planes in formation) fly-
ing overhead, also done by the Air
Force ROTC in conjunction with The
Barnes Air National Guard. On Vet-
erans Day they hold the annual vigil
to commemorate those still missing
in action.

participating in the vigil, as
well as those passing by. The
ceremony was also brought

towns on Channel 22 News.
Off campus, the Arnold
Air Society, the Air Force
ROTC's honor society, put
hours in towards the com-
munity, including helping out in the duties
of cooking and serving at food kitchens in the
area. The society also made regular visits to
the Old Soldier's Home for retired veterans,
as well as to Bright Side, a home for troubled
children. But, as it stood last spring, these
programs were on the brink of elimination.

Intervarsity Christian Fellowship' s pur-
pose is to build a fellowship where all
students can learn more about true Chris-
tianity. Christian students from all church
backgrounds can grow in their faith and
students who are interested in investigating
Christianity for any reason can gain better
understanding.
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship has
been an RSO at UMass since the 1950's.
The UMass chapter is affiliated with the
national Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
organization, which has chapters on col-
lege campuses across the United States.
This year, the chapter' s three goals were
to become involved with the diversity of
ethnicity represented on campus, to help
promote a true understanding of Christian-
ity in the community, and to pray consis-
tently for the world and individuals.
The group held meetings Friday nights
in the Campus Center. These highlighted a
speaker and a time of singing as well as
games and skits. One Friday night each
semester, they got together with the other
Christian groups on campus for a "joint
worship celebration."
They also sponsor "Bible studies" in
each residential area one night a week. This
year's topic was the Gospel of Mark. The
groups spent time analyzing passages for
themselves, rather than relying on others'
interpretations.
These activities allowed students to get
to know other students, become familiar
with the Bible, and feel like part of the
community.
"For me, Intervarsity has been a place
to grow in my faith and build lasting friend-
ships," said Elisa Figueiras, a senior Politi-
cal Science major.
In late December, twenty UMass stu-
dents drove to Illinois to participate in
Urbana, a global missions conference at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The conference is held every three years
and is attended by 20,000 students from
throughout the world.
"I'm really looking forward to Urbana
because I will probably go into missions
work after graduation and that's what the
conference is all about," said senior Botany
major Kristen Timothy. "It will also be a lot
of fun to take a road trip with twenty of my
friends."
Each semester, the fellowship took a
weekend retreat to a place in New England
where they could escape from campus and
become more familiar with one another, as
well as God. In the fall, they went to Cape
Cod, where they studied some Bible pas-
sages and spent time on the beach listening
to the ocean and singing.
The group planned to bring a former
Broadway actor to campus in the spring to
perform a one-man interpretation of the
Gospel of Luke. They also hoped to spon-
sor an activity which would promote cul-
tural and racial harmony.

The Asian American Student
Association (A AS A) was founded
26 years ago to promote the needs
of Asian and Asian American stu-
dents. Our purpose is to create a
supportive atmosphere for all
Asian and Asian American stu-

A AS A now has 120 students ac-

close contact with AHORA and
the Black Student Union. To this
very day, AAS A has consistently
put on quality programming, be it
social, political, or educational
programs.
In 1994, AASA put on
the eleventh annual Asian Night
program. In 1993, the Asian Night
brought in 1,500-2,000 people for
one night of performances which
delighted the audience with sights

nts have offered over 42,000 hours of aca-
mic assistance to several thousand Asian,
tino, African American and Russian stu-
nts as well as individuals from many more
verse groups. The class started out as an
dependent study. It then evolved into Edu-
tion 497, "Tutoring in Schools", a three
jdit class offered through the School of
lucation. The sites of tutoring also grew to

College students have many leadership
roles in the program including being a tutor,
a site coordinator, or a facilitator of the class
seminars. When a tutor goes through the
program and becomes a site coordinator,
they attend the Education 597 "Leadership
Class" which focuses on studying
multicultural education in-depth.
Every semester, TEAMS recruits new
tutors and it hopes to expand the program
throughout the Five-College area.
TEAMS tutors benefit not only from
knowing that they are helping others, but
also from the exhilaration of new challenges
every time they tutor. Sean Warner,
site coordinator and tutor at the
Westover Job Corps Center felt that
"When you are a TEAMS tutor, you
act as a supportive mechanism for
individuals and it creates a more
conducive environment for them to
learn. " Another student commented
that "There definitely is a tutor to
student exhange as I am learning
more from my students than they
are learning from me."

stop shop for photocopying, graphic de-
sign, posters, flyers, resumes, and academic
packets. A non-profit business initiated and
managed by 15 students, we maintain the
lowest prices for copies on campus at five
cents per exposure. With larger bulk orders,
a person can take advantage of our lower
overnight prices. We stock one of the wid-
est selections of colors and K£^£S5SI
card stocks on campus and
most work can be handled
while you wait.
Our design depart-
ment is also the premier
places on campus to get a
resume produced. Our
price of $15 includes the
design and production of
ten copies of a resume on

paper with matching envelopes. In addi-
tion, resumes are stored on computer disk
for one year to accommodate any required
changes. If someone needs assistance in
choosing a resume format or is having
trouble getting started, we have a number of
samples on hand for ideas.
CD&C is a useful organization be-

low prices, superior quality, and reliability
without the hassle of leaving campus.

You walk in the entrance of the office
and suddenly you're in a new world, a world
of busy people, ringing telephones and open,
interested faces: you have entered the Stu-
dent Activities Office on the fourth floor of
the Student Union, the heart of student orga-
nizations on campus. Its friendly staff helps
both officers and staff of the many student
groups on campus make their organizations
as successful and interesting as possible.
The Student Activities Office's main goal
is to work with registered student organiza-
tions to reach their goals. One way it does
this is through organizational advisors who
help officers plan effective programs and
social activities. Some are very active one
year and not the next." An example of this
are the environmental rights groups and un-
derground newspapers that were once very
active but have since faded out.
The current registered groups on cam-
pus cover a broad spectrum of interests in-
cluding religious, political and social issues.
Though their expression is diverse, they all
desire to unify members on campus and
create an effective/organization and use the
SAO's many resources.
The SAO has also changed a lot over the
years. Initially, the main focus of the SAO
was simply to create programs and make

take care of issues such as internal
conflicts, sponsoring fund-raisers
and recruiting new members. The
business staff of the SAO offers fi-
nancial support to groups by man-
aging accounting and other mon-
etary issues. The SAO also hosts
new and interesting programs such
as the Leadership Conference for
the heads of organizations, the RSO
Fair for students interested in get-
ting involved, and the end of the
semester Study Break, offering cof-
fee and bagels to students studying
for finals.
Phee Paradise has worked be-
hind the scenes of SAO for over six
years and finds that each year there
is emphasis on different activities
and interests on campus. She said,
"Students go through cycles; some
years more are in political activities
and some years there are more in
them happen, what Paradise deems "Burger
King advising," in essence a fast-food ap-
proach to management of organizations. Over
the years SAO has changed its philosophy to
work with groups, focusing more on people
than on events. They now stand behind the
idea that a successful RSO is a result of a
strong organization and commitment from
the group that backs it. In such events as the
Leadership Conference and the RSO fair, all
the work pays off when students come to-
gether and make things happen.
Maureen Cichaski, who has worked in
Accounts Payable for over a year, pays the
bills and works with students on financial
matters. She enjoys interacting with the many
students who come in and out of the office
everyday, finding them very friendly. She
feels that the best part of the job is "getting to

with the responsibility and leadership that

Many women come to college in search
of eternal friendships, a place to fit in and a
place where they can feel at home. For 55
women this place is Alpha Chi Omega, a
sorority located at 38 Nutting Avenue two
blocks from the UMass campus.
Alpha Chi Omega is about women shar-
ing a common bond of sisterhood and friend-
ship. Since the majority of the sisters live in
the house, the sorority is closer and more
involved than many others on campus. One
sister says that Alpha Chi Omega "is about
togetherness Even though we all come from
different backgrounds, we all come together
to help the community and each other."
DeJkatiJI-is essential to the sisters.
"Women have to want to be here. A positive
attitude is best for the community and the
house and UMaSs -in "general." In many
instances this loyalty takes priority over ev-
erything else. Says one sister, "being in a
sorority is very time consuming; sometimes
it requires spending every night at the house
and putting off everything else." Her room-
mate agreed, "it's good to^RlTOw/ there is
always someone around Inn coiMt on."
Alumni relations are\^oiyat Alpha
Chi Omega. There are alwJpPllilBPi around
the house and most of the sisters see this as a
positive and helpful aspect of sorority life.
"Alumni presence shows that the founda-
tion of leadership and self-esteem built
through the sorority is essential for survival
in and out of college," says one 1988 alumni.
With a combination of leadership, faith-
fulness and friendship; Alpha Chi Omega
brings a sense of pride to all of its members.
Since 1961, Alpha Chi has been a strong
organization and with the positive reinforce-
ment they receive from the Greek area, Al-
pha Chi will be around to serve women and
the community for many more years.

Good
Neighbors
Alpha Epsilon Pi has participated in
many philanthropies and done many acts of
community service in their years here at
UMass, yet none other have taken on such
deep personal meaning as their annual ben-
efit party which funds Leukemia Society. In
1986, a member's mother had been afflicted
with the disease, and every year since then a
canister has been placed at the front door and
is filled with money by party guests. Last
year, AEP raised $250 for the cause. This is
just one of the many contributions the group
has made to others.
"Our philanthropies have come a long
way in helping the community," Larry
Selikoff, the fraternity's secretary said. "As
far as the brotherhood, we're smaller and
more tightlwknit . . . like a family. It's really
good to knpwyat people care for you." This
close corj^mur||y unifies them and allows
them to TOtterhelp others.
The fraternity has a long list of accom-
plishments behind them. For instance, at the
end of September the brothers hired a band
from San Francisco cfartf the "Lost Pilgrims"
to raise funds for the Midwest Flood Relief
Fund. They also participate in the "Meals on
Wheels" program through the Bangs Com-
munity Center, for which thev take food
from Berkshire Dining Cofcnorffand dis-
tribute it to the elderly althe mne Elder
House. The brothers of AlpmEpslon Pi also
volunteer with the Red Cross m blood drives
in the Campus Center, set up boxes in the
dorms for canned goods for the Bosnians and
conduct a bowl-a-thon at Alley Oops in
Northampton to benefit the environmental
group Clean Water Action.
Selikoff feels the "Hands to Help the
Homeless" benefit was perhaps their most
successful philanthropy. The event attracted
TV crews as well as the local reggae band
"New Horizons" who played on the front
lawn. The contributions collected as well as
money collected from sales of T-shirts and
food, went to help to keep a homeless shelter
in Amherst. Companies like IBM, Coca-Cola,
Domino's Pizza, and many local businesses
helped sponsor the event.

Another project currently underway in
the fraternity is the Boltwood Project, a com-
munity service designed to aid homeless and
disabled people in the area. AEP raised money
with a party at which a band called "Mocha
Java" played. Individual brothers also earn
credit for taking kids from the project on
Boltwood Street twice a week for bowling in
addition to other projects.
"I think being Greek gives you more of
an identity; there's more faces you can pick
out and recognize," Selikoff says. "It gets
you out of the dorms and there's always
someone around to hang out with. If you go

Making
Their Mark
The sorority of Iota Gamma Upsilon
has dedicated their sisterhood to the promo-
tion of diversity, scholarship, and the growth
of strong friendships that they will carry
with them in years to come. Iota Gamma
Upsilon was founded at UMass in 1962 and
remains the only local sorority without any
national affiliation.
Through the past few years the sisters
have formed a close-knit community within
the larger environment of the University.
The sisters have been given greater control
over the decision making that occurs in their
house. This self government has allowed
them to be more flexible and open minded
with their house rules. Yet this indepen-
dence has also brought them greater respon-
sibility. The sisters of Iota Gamma Upsilon
have learned to run their house like a small
business, interviewing and hiring much of
the staff that come in to help maintain the
house. These decisions have helped bring
them together and have strengthened the
tight friendships they have formed within
their sorority.
The sisters of Iota Gamma Upsilon par-
ticipate throughout the year in various ser-
vice activities. Such activities include Arty's

Army, which helps promote alcohol and drug
awareness. They have also helped raise funds
for the Newman Center in its annual fall
Telethon and participated in date parties,
formals and hay rides. Despite the sisters'
active social calendar, they are still able to
keep their GPA's at a respectable standing.
The sisters of Iota Gamma Upsilon have
worked hard in the past few years to bring
back many of the old traditions and combine
the old ideology of the sorority with the new
ideas and spirit. The sisterhood of Iota
Gamma Upsilon is slowly evolving into a
family of friends and sisters that are making
their mark not only in the Greek area but in
the larger community as well.

"We've evolved into one of the more
respected fraternities on campus," said Louis
Bettencourt, Vice-President of Alpha Tau
Gamma, which sums up what the fraternity,
which only accepts Stockbridge students,
has achieved since being founded in 1918.
That's even though "most people don't even
know us; they think we're a bunch of farm-
ers."
Some of ATG's philanthropies include
working at Boston soup kitchens and help-
ing at the Pine Street Inn, a center for battered
women, also in Boston. This year, they plan,
through a national program called "A Better
Chance (ABC)", to take about six disadvan-
taged high-school kids from New York City
to Amherst to be clothed, fed, schooled, and
given a place to stay — in effect, a better chance
at life. The fraternity donates all returnable
cans they can collect to the organization, and
the money goes directly to the children.
Steve jiuolkowski, brother and Inter-
Fraternal jLo%ncil President, said that al-
though taey hare a relatively smaller core of
men, Alpha Tau Gamma has indeed done a
lot for themselves and the community around
them.
"Work is assumed as a responsibility
rather than a requirement," he said. "Joe in a
fraternity or sorority indifferent than John in
a dorm. In a fraternity-Joe will say he'll be a
leader and will excel as a person. Not to
overshadow John in a dorm; it's just that he
doesn't say he'll do all these tMngs?4 Being a
brother, it's expected and willhappen."
A big event that ZiolkowBki notes is the
fact that they own all the houses on their side
of the road, and have expanded to two physi-
cal structures that bear their logo. He says
that in effect, they are a realty company, as
ATG alumni own the houses and would
continue to do so if the chapter ceased to
exist.
Other activities they engage in are the
Newman Center Phone-a-Thon, which raises
money for the center, intramural competi-
tion of various sports, and the well-known
Greek Week. Social events are also big at
ATG, and include formals, which are almost
like a high-school prom, an annual Hallow-
een party, fraternity-sorority date parties,
and a Thanksgiving dinner for Stockbridge
faculty.
"Give your best to dear old
Stockbridge — body, heart, and soul,"
Ziolkowski said.

U a RUSH tir Becom cu Gneek
At the beginning of every semester,
in the midst of Add /Drop and deciding
which activities are right for you, another
option opens: whether or not to "Go
Greek." As you walk around campus, it's
hard to miss flyers from various fraterni-
ties, all beckoning University men to join.
Or, if you are a woman, you' ve probably
seen the Concourse table in the Campus
Center, urging you to pre-register for Rush.
Rush occurs at the start of semester
and is defined as the period in which so-
rorities and fraternities open their houses
to undergraduate men and women. Last-
ing a week and a half to two weeks, it gives
rushees a chance to "sample" and become
familiar with different houses. The sisters
and brothers, in turn, have the chance to
get to know the people interested in their
house.
There are two different Rush pro-
cesses that are followed at UMass: Formal
and Open. Open Rush is the method fol-
lowed by the fraternities. It allows Univer-
sity men to visit one house, or several
houses, or, if they choose, all of the houses.
Often, someone with an interest in a par-
ticular fraternity will go only to that one,
but more often, men aren't sure which one
they want to join, and go to several.
Generally, when visiting several
houses, men like all of them, but feel a
special bond with one of them right away.
"I went to three houses," says Paul
McGourty, a sophomore from Phi Sigma
Kappa, "but as soon as I came here, I knew
that I was going to stay."
Sometimes, men have friends in fra-
ternities, who influence their decision. "I
knew some guys in Alpha Chi Rho, and I
thought it would be good to join a frater-
nity where I already had friends," says Jon
Blumenthal, a sophomore.
Sororities also conduct Open Rush,
in the fall semester. Women are more
likely to go to different houses, to get a
taste of what sorority life is like. "I visited
all nine sororities," says Sigma Delta Tau
sister Maria Edoin, "and there were four or
five that I really liked. I had a hard time
deciding in the end."
In the spring, the sororities conduct
Formal Rush. During Formal Rush, Uni-
versity women who have registered are
divided into groups. Each group visits
each house for a short period of time the
first night. The next day, each rushee
receives up to nine invitations but goes
back to only seven houses of her choice.
After that, it is narrowed down to five, then
At the end of the Rush period is Bid Day,
when each rushee finds out which of the re-
maining three houses she has been "selected"
to join. The selection process is completed by
a representative, often a chapter advisor or an
alumnus, from each house.
After the sororities have gone through
Formal Rush, some conduct an Open Rush the
following week in order to increase their mem-
bership. SDT, for example, started out with
about 15 pledges through Formal Rush, says
Maria, and ended up with 22 after Open Rush.
Whether Formal or Open, many rushees
say that they were glad to have had the oppor-
tunity to visit the houses. "It was interesting —
I didn't know anything about sororities," says
Tara Hazen, a sophomore from Sigma Sigma
Sigma, "and I was glad to have the chance to
compare different houses before making my
decision."

Tri"-ing New Ideas
What kind of sorority has no pledges,
no paddles decorated with sisters' names,
and no pins that must be worn day and night
by the pledges?
Tri-Sigma does now, according to sis-
ters at the Gamma Iota chapter at UMass.
"These changes and others have been slowly
coming about in the past few years," says
Tri-Sigma vice-president Kristen Danker, and
officially came into effect in 1993.
For one thing, there are no more
"pledges" anticipating the day they become
sisters. These women, in wait of their sister-
hood, are now referred to as ihfw^nem-
bers." Why? "It's more friendly, SWpre inte-
grating (it integrates them into the sorority
right way), and it eliminates hazing com-
pletely," says sister Tara Hazen. "I think the
way we treat the new members is nicer — we
should treat new members with respect,
cause they will soon be sisters."
Another thing of the past is the paddl
that the pledge used to make for her
Sister." Now, their inscriptions are painted
upon sailboats, the national Tri-Sigma sym-
bol, "because paddles have bad, degrading
connotations, and we wanted to get away
from that," says Tara. "That's not what we
are all about." It is not known whether
paddles were actually ever used for any-
thing bad, but the connotations were still
there.
Other Tri-Sigmas around the country
have followed in the UMass chapter's foot-
steps and dismissed the use of paddles. Not
all necessarily use sailboats, but many have
switched from the paddles to something else,
says the sisters.
Most sororities also require their
pledges to wear a "pledge pin" wherever
they go during the semester
before they become full-
fledged sisters. Not Tri-
Sigma, however, who this
year got rid of the manda-
tory pledge pins. Now, the
new members are only re-
quired to wear them on "pin
days," when the sisters also
are required to wear their sis-
ter badges. These pin days
are held about once a week,
when everyone dresses up,
Sigma
Sigma
Sigma
"because we respect our sorority," says Tara.
"They wear their pins with pride," adds
Karolyn McNeil, another sister.
In addition, the sorority now holds
weekly workshops, presided over by the
chapter's education chairman and attended
by all sisters and new members during chap-
ter meetings. Some of the issues dealt with
include self-esteem, time management, and
alcohol education. The sorority hopes to hold
one for the entire Greek area sometime in the
near future.
When asked what they thought of the
new system, all of the sisters agreed that it is
"definitely a positive change." With this new
system, "New members learn what it is like
to be a sister right away," says Kristen. The
sisters and new members do more activities
together now and spend more time on com-
— ^unity projects. "We ask of our new mem-
bers what we ask ourselves," says Kristen.
The sisters are all pleased with the
fanges and expect to progress further in the
future. "This is just the first step," says presi-
dent Stephanie Johnson. "It's important to be
open to change."
A%d what do the new members think?
"Whatiney're doing is good," says new
member Jennifer Roy. "One reason I picked
this sorority was because the sisters were
really friendly — there was no 'we're sisters
and you're pledges' attitude here."
"There's no superiority here," says
Karolyn. "This is definitely a positive change.
We've come a long way."

Enduring a Hardship
You may have noticed this past year as
you walked along North Pleasant Street, that
the Alpha Chi Rho house no longA exists.
Or, rather, that it is now being oc/uMed by
Alpha Tau Gamma who owns /ostVf the
houses on North Pleasant StreetnvlemDers of
Alpha Chi Rho were forced to give up their
house due to "unlivable conditions," but
hope to get a new one soon. t&
One might think that without their own
house, a fraternity would have a hard time
getting all of the brothers together on a regu-
lar basis, but this doesn't hold true for Alpha
Chi Rho. "Most of the brothers live on cam-
pus, so we meet regularly in dorm rooms, or
the Dining Commons, or the Campus Cen-
ter", saysbrother Dave Garappolo. The small
size of the fraternity (about 25 brothers) also
makes it easy for everyone to get together.
Of course there are disadvantages to
not having a common house. "Living in the
house was an awesome experience — I have a
lot of great memories from that year," says
brother Antonio Endriga. "The pledge classes
from this year don't have the chance to expe-
rience that; it's not the same thing."
The good things about not having a
mouse, says Antonio, are not having to clean
it, not having to worry about filling it up
kyery semester, and not having to pay high
aues to be in the fraternity.
Good things and bad things aside, Al-
pha Chi Rho will probably get a new house in
the FaM19*4 semester, "hopefully our old
house mSjJKset Avenue", according to Dave.
But fomhe time being, says Antonio, "we're
still the same brotherhood. The most impor-
tant thing is the people."

The big brown house on North Pleas-
ant Street situated right next to the UMass
campus is home to the Sigma Delta Tau
sorority. The Psi chapter was founded here
in December of 1945 by a small group of
women; one of these, Doris Newman, now
serves as house director.
With 47 active sisters and 22 pledges in
the spring, there are bound to be many dif-
ferent kinds of people making up its mem-
bership. "Th«e are girls with different ma-
jors, jobs, activities, goals and interests, from
different parts ,of the country," says sister
Maria Edoin. "Ours is probably one of the
most diverse sororities on campus."
With 22 new members in the spring,
there is also a great variety of interests and
goals within the pled^^class. "We're all dif-
ferent," says pledge Amy Sher, a freshman,
"but we all get alcmg " ■
Why such a large class? The sisters
attribute it to a very successful rush turnout..
Many women were interested in the house,
and there was a lot of room for new sisters,
since a lot of the current sistejS would be
graduating in 1994 and 1995. JUL
But they didn't take in 22 pledges sim-
ply for the sake of getting larger, emphasizes
Maria . "Quality is more important than quan-
tity."
No matter what its size, Sigma Delta
Tau is a close knit sorority with much to offer
its members including exchanges with other
sororities and fraternities, philanthropies and
friendships to last forever. "I love it here,"
Amy beams. "I look forward to coming to
this house every night."

the importance of the female figure in the
young Black male's life. The objective of this
program Is to develop and implement pro-
grams which focusypn education^flTRqjng,
empl< i\ ment, and personal development for
boys ranging from 10 to 16 years'old.
The "Delta Alcohol Drug ABiase^fnd
AIDS Community Educational Project
(AD ACE)" is a program has been designed
to enable the sorority to assume
a leader-
ship role in alcohol and drug abuse and AIDS
awareness, treatment, and prevention. The
target population for the project are Black
females between the ages of 12 and 19. The
sorority became alarmed when the statistics
of Black women who were HIV positive was
compiled and revealed a surprisingly high
figure.
The "School America" program is tak-
ing the lead, helping families to read by
conducting a nation-wide initiative. Illiteracy
is a very real threat to the nation's economic
future and the American way of life.
Delta Sigma Theta salutes America's
Black colleges, biennially, with a series of
weekend convocations at 18 colleges, 14,
of which are traditionally Black institu-
tions. The convocation theme is
"America's Black Colleges: Roots, Re-
wards, Renewal." During this two-day
meeting the sorority renews its alle-
giance to the historically Black colleges
by collectively seeking solutions to
programs that negatively infringe
upon the survival of the Black people
through education, economics, and
the political process.
Life Development Centers are es-
tablished by local chapters as avail-
able means of mobilizing a
chapter's programs and to maxi-
mize community access to the
public and private agencies. The
centers are also designed to help
eliminate fragmented services
in areas where the need is most
evident, and provide a central
and accessible location for the
agencies and clients to be
served. The programs at the
centers include tutorial ser-
vices, counseling services for
families, teenage pregnancy
prevention, health screen-
ing, health education and
career counseling, and re-
ferral and information ser-
vices.

In Leaps and Bounds
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. is a black
fraternity, founded at Howard University on
January 9, 1914 by three bold and visionary
young black men. They envisioned creating
an organization that would embody all Afri-
can-American men who looked for creating
a concept of brotherhood, scholarship and
service within themselves and communities.
Phi Beta Sigma currently has approxi-
mately 100,000 members from the United
States, Euroce^ Asia, Africa, and the Carib-
bean. It's mission has always been to raise
and uplift the black race. The brothers of Phi
Beta Sigma do this through their many won-
derful national and local programs. There
are three national programs of Phi Beta Sigma.
They are Social Actionr.Education, and Big-
ger and Better Business, together, these pro-
grams have improved the quality of life of
blacks in this country.
The local chapter of Phi Beta Sigma,
chapter Lambda Nu, was founded in 1985 at
the University of Massachusetts. Since its
inception, the local brothers of Beta Sigma
have always tried to elevate ana culture the
minds of their people and audiences. They
have been the direct catalysts for bringing
speakers like Dr. Leonard Jefferies, the Rev-
erend Al Sharpton, and the National Repre-
sentative of the Islamic State, Minister Louis
Farrakhan. In addition, they have been the
sponsors of scholarships, study-o-thons, and
cultural programs. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity

the members of this year's UMass Women's
Soccer team finished off the season with 17
wins, won their regional tournament, made it
to the Final Four for the first time in their four-
year careers, and boasted the second most
successful record in the country, next to num-
ber one North Carolina.
The team went undefeated this year until
they played Santa Clara in California and lost
1-0. By the end of the regular season.their
record included 16 wins, and only one more
loss, to William and Mary, as well as an eight
game winning streak. In the playoffs, UMass
came up against old rival North Carolina,
national champions for ten of the last eleven
seasons. During the first half of the game
UMass gave up three goals and scored none.
In the second half, though, the team rallied
back, scoring one and allowing a single goal,
finishing off the season 17-3-3.
Talented players and good coaching
drove this season, and senior Briana Scurry
did nothing but bat away the competition.
Recruited from Minnesota, Scurry played
four years in high school and was All Ameri-
can before she decided to head East. Scurry
started out splitting time with goalie Skye
Eddy her first year, tended all sophomore
year because Eddy was hurt, split time last
year, and this year goal tended every single
game.
Scurry picked UMass largely because of
Coach Jim Rudy, who, since 1988, has helped
to hone her skills so finely that she has been
named the number one player on the National
Team, the US Professional Women's Soccer
Team.
According to Keenan, "Scurry has been
watched by every coach in the country. She is
the best goalkeeper in the country. I' ve worked
with exceptional talent and she is the best of
the best."
"Goaltending is a separate position, an
individual role within a team sport," said
Scurry. "Goaltending in the end can decide
84 ATHLETICS
winning and losing. I see it as a job I' m trying
to perfect. Going into the Final Four, we
allowed fewer goals to get by us than any
other team in the country. There's strength in
our defense. We don't give up goals. But I'll
be the first to say I had a lot of help."
Much of that help came from the pair of
Heidi Kocher and Paula Wilkins. Kocher
mixed her defensive speed with her skill at
tracking the ball. Wilkins played with deadly
accuracy, watching and seeing the plays on
the field and directing the action. The two
combined their talents and played consis-
tently strong defense all year.
Offensively, Rachel Leduc and Nicole
Roberts were part of the team that scored
more goals in the first half of the season than
they had scored in other entire years. Leduc
played a strong physical game all year long,
always charging, sometimes appearing out of
nowhere to take control of the ball, fighting
hard in scrambles. Roberts relied on nimble
footwork, fast-paced dribbling, and tricky
maneuvering to move past defenders and
score. The two played uniquely and worked
together well.
Freshman talent was a surprise addition
to the team's power. "There were great fresh-
men coming in, talent we didn't even realize
or count on having," said Scurry. They adapted
to the new level incredibly well and as a result
several started games.
"There was a difference in the air this
year," Keenan said. "It all seemed to come
together. There weren't any doubts as to what
we could do and we believed we could beat
every team we played."
Women' s Soccer has always been strong
at UMass. From 1983-1988 the team made it
to the Final Fours every year.
"But when I got here," explained Scurry,
"UConn was the top team in the region. We
were still close to the top. Now," she de-
clared, "We are the power of the East."

On Good Footing...
Fans at the Richard F. Garber Field begin
screaming and cheering as the Men's Soccer
team rushes onto the field. Coach Sam Koch
blows the whistle and the game begins. Right
from the onset the players wreak havoc on
their opponents. Senior forward Randy Jacobs
scores the first goal that prepares the Minute-
men for victory once again.
Jacobs, an Atlantic- 1 0 player of the week
in October, was this year's Men's Soccer
team's leading scorer and in 1992, he scored
17 goals, the most ever by a Minuteman in
one season. Koch calls Jacobs the "most
prolific goal scorer in school history."
Assisstant Coach Rob Donnenwirth says
"Jacobs can be counted on in crunch time.
The team can depend on him to come through
for them." As for Jacobs himself, he looks
forward to each time and tries his hardest to
live up to the team's expectations.
Freshman goalie Brackie Reyes "de-
serves credit for keeping shot totals low and
controlling defenders in front of him," says
Donnenwirth. Another freshman, Forward
Dave Siljanovski, was honored in September
as an Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week.
The team still surfaced with a 9- 1 0 record
for 1993 despite injuries of two key players,
Brad Miller and Justin Edelman. Koch says
that Miller and Edelman' s absences in sev-
eral games made it a little tougher for the team
but cooperation and motivation helped them
to explode into another victory for the Min-
utemen and for UMass.
Next year's team promises to be the one
to watch. This year gave the newcomers the
essential experience and toughened them up
for the up-and-coming fight for the A- 10
Championships. UMass is no longer the team
that lags behind, it is the one of the top
contenders for the finals.

Question: How do you improve on a 7-3
1992 campaign in which the team surprised
every critic and made Coach Mike Hodges a
success in his first year?
Answer: If you're the University of Mas-
sachusetts football team, you win eight games
in 1993, narrowly miss out on the Division I-
A A playoffs and finish the year with a mother
lode of recruits.
The Minutemen surprised every critic
for the second consecutive season, initially
by losing two of its first three games. After an
opening day 37-7 win over Holy Cross, UMass
lost on the road to Maine and Boston Univer-
sity, a team which reached the semifinals of
the playoffs.
Rene Ingoglia, the 1992 freshman phe-
nomenon, showed no effect of a sophomore
slide, moving from tailback to fullback.
Ingoglia picked up 1,285 yards even though
he played inj ured through the last three games
of the season.
He wasn't alone in the backfield, either.
John Johnson's return from two sub-par sea-
sons made Ingoglia' s move more feasible. As
a tailback, Johnson ran for 899 yards in 1993
and became one of only four Minutemen to
rush for over 2,000 yards in a career.
It was the fourth game of the season, an
October 2 contest with James Madison Uni-
versity ( JMU), in which the Minutemen came
back. Ingoglia rushed for 204 yards and UMass
beat JMU 33-10.
A different player stepped up every week.
Cornerback Breon Parker, playing his first
season at UMass, won Sports Illustrated' s
Defensive Player of the Week because of his
three interceptions (one returned for a touch-
down) in UMass' October 9th win over Rhode
Island.
The following week, the Minutemen trav-
eled to UConn and upset a Husky squad when
the rushing game and defense once again
came up big. Freshman Eric Oke, one of
many contributing newcomers, hit the win-
ning field goal to propel UMass to a 20-17
win.
Delaware was this year' s Homecoming
opponent, and many critics were wondering
the intelligence of scheduling such a tough
team at Homecoming. Hodges' team proved
to be the better team as UMass won 43-29.
Quarterback Andrew McNeilly rushed for
two touchdowns and provided the leadership
the Minutemen needed in defeating the Yan-
kee Conference's only true dynasty.
McNeilly would get injured the next
week during practice and freshman Vito Cam-
panile had to step in for the October 30th
contest at Northeastern, ( continued on p. 91)

alive.
It was another freshman, Frank Alessio,
who came up big in the game's final minute
by rushing 54 yards for a touchdown in the
stunning 21-17 comeback win which spoiled
Northeastern' s Homecoming.
Richmond attempted to derail the UMass
juggernaut. Reid, the Spiders' defensive co-
ordinator, came close but Eric Thimas' 140
receiving yards helped UMass squeeze out
the 29-24 victory.
The following week saw the winning
streak come to an end as the Minutemen's

playoff chances were severely damaged when
William and Mary beat UMass 45-28 in
Amherst.
Johnson did his part in the season finale,
a 15-13 victory over New Hampshire that
gave UMass its winningest season ever.
Johnson had a 68-yard run for a touchdown
and won the game's MVP award.
While the offense put points on the board,
it was the unheralded players on the defense
and offensive lines which really made the
season. Mario Perry and Scott Assencoa were
the two impact players. Both senior outside
linebackers will be missed next year. Matt
Rajotk, Brian Corcoran and Venard Fennell
were also impact players on the defense.
Bill Durkin, Phil Hallard and Andy
Leblanc were the strength of the unheralded
offensive line, which provided the blocks for
the record-holding UMass rushing attack.
The simple philosophy of holding opposing
teams on the defense and running the ball on
offense proved effective.
UMass football was back, and although
the team failed to reach the playoffs, the point
was proven: the Minutemen took a back seat
to no one on the football field.

The soft thud of her Nike running shoes
on the dry soil of the earth was all that could
be heard. The toughest course lay in front
her — the course in which all her stamina and
her training would be needed. Now the pain
of her shin splints was becoming very evi-
dent.
Indeed, those who went out for the
women's cross country team had to be ready
for work. Each day the workouts got more
strenuous and intense. Every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday consisted of concen-
trated drills, practice distance runs spanning
about eight miles, and a constant review of
strategies for two hours a day. Tuesday and
Thursday consisted of five to ten repetitions
of 600, 800, or 1000 meter dashes. Sundays
consisted of a three-hour conditioning work-
out of running and weights. According to
junior Julie Moreau, "The commitment to be
there every day and often on weekends is
what separated the good runners from the
great runners." It may have seemed at the
time that what really mattered was the desire
to win but it was individual skill, talent, and
unselfish commitment that mattered in the
end.
The Women's Cross Country team was
undefeated in dual meets and maintained
their winning streak to clutch second place in
the Atlantic- 10, third place in the New En-
glands and 4th place at the ECAC's. These
achievements were largely due to talented
players such as Freshmen Kate Greenia and
Melissa Langevin and Sophomore Jennifer
Waeger. Freshman Kristin Donaldson said,
"Everyone worked together to accomplish
our goals. We pushed ourselves because we
were determined to achieve excellence."
Personal records were also set during the
1993 season. Langevin ranked 14th overall
for district one. Waeger and Donaldson had
personal bests at sixth and seventh, respec-
tively. Despite injuries, senior twin co-cap-
tains Kim and Kelly Liljeblad became third
and fourth on the team and ranked 25th and
29th overall.
Freshman Kate Greenia said, "Greater
than all the success and winning is the friend-
ships and bonding that are formed." Sopho-
more Jen Waeger agreed. "Today's great

Another runner stated, "We're like a family.
We support each other in all the team deci-
sions. If one of us fails to perform, it rubs off
on all of us. We all try to be there for each
other, no matter what."
Fans were highly energized by the
Minutewomen's performance this season.
Ashley Malton said, "The relationship be-
tween the runners and the coach is obvious.
They work together and they still have fun."
Freshman Melissa Langevin spoke of
the force that drives her to run. "Running is
power. I can feel the energy in my entire body
and for that space of time the rest of the world
falls away."
Coach Julie LaFreniere said that the true
test was seeing the younger, less experienced
runners stand up to the challenge. "We have
developed a reputation of strength with a
myriad of talented athletes leading the team."
Summing up the team's future, one run-
ner claimed that "the team had great depth
this year, and if all the young runners return,
with their talent and Coach LaFreniere' s lead-
ership, they can accomplish anything they
desire."

This year the University of Massachu-
setts Men's Cross Country team had a very
successful season, winning four of their five
dual meets. The team's strong core of fresh-
man and sophomore runners, coupled with
the experience brought by returning upper-
classmen, gave the harriers new depth and
will provide the opportunity to improve
greatly in the coming years. The hard work
and dedication of the entire squad gives the
team a positive outlook for the seasons to
come.
Two athletes who proved to be prime
contenders at the Eastern Conference Ath-
letic Championships were junior Theodore
Towse and senior Captain Kevin Greenhalgh.
Towse won top honors in the 10 Kilometer
race and Greenhalgh was a third place fin-
isher in the 5K event. In the New England
Championships, UMass was boosted by the
10th and 13th place finishes of Towse and
Greenhalgh and had a second place victory at
the Eastern Conference Championships. This
was a great improvement over last year's
third place finish at the same meet. The
Minutemen finished out the season with a
ninth place finishing at the NCAA District I
meet and a 24th place finish at the IC4A
meet. Several athletes placed in the top 50 in

the NCAA District I Championship. Among
them were Jonathan Way, Matthew Behl,
Ethan Nedeau, and Kevin Greenhalgh.
This year the team was strongly backed
by seniors Chris Povolny and Kevin
Greenhalgh. The seniors gave the team a
sense of leadership and set an example for the
underclassmen. According to Head Coach
Ken O'Brien, the underclassmen benefited
from the performance of the older athletes by
learning about pacing, concentration, and
determination. These athletes know that skill
is something you develop over time and it
requires a focused and positive attitude.
The Minutemen are looking forward to
the future. Strength, immense determina-
tion, and obvious skill will make the team
powerful contenders in New England.

An 0-3 start plagued the University of
Massachusetts women' s tennis team through-
out the fall season, but behind the stellar play
of their young talent managed to piece to-
gether a 5-5 finish and fourth place tie in the
New England Championships last fall.
Second year coach Judy Dixon turned
the program that was once threatened by
athletic department cuts into a future con-
tender. Building on a base of young talent,
Dixon expects the team to improve vastly
over the coming years.
The team was led by sophomore Liesel
Sitton, who walked on in her freshman year to
become one of New England' s ten best colle-
giate tennis players. The native of San Juan,
Puerto Rico shrugged off the brutal cold last
fall to finish the season with a near perfect
singles record. Sitton was impressive in the
New Englands, finishing second after losing
a tough match to Boston College's Hope
McAndrew.
"She played superb tennis [that] week-
end," said Dixon. "There wasn't much differ-
ence between her and her opponent."
Sitton' s troubles in the New Englands
stemmed from the fact that her opponent was
used to the tough competition that a schedule
like BC's allows. The following weekend
Sitton fared well in another tough tourna-
ment, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's
Rolex Championships at the University of
Pennsylvania.
While Dixon heralds Sitton as possibly
the best player ever to lend her skills to the
Massachusetts program, the talent on her
team does not end there. Highly recruited
98 ATHLETICS

freshman Liz Durant stepped in to the number
two singles spot. Durant accumulated a num-
ber of singles victories there, and teamed with
Sitton to be a potent doubles entry.
"She was great," Dixon said of Durant.
"You usually don't expect those types of
performances from a freshman."
While the team is looking towards the
future, there is no reason to undermine the
play of the upperclassmen. The Minutewomen
were lead by the experience of seniors Stacey
Scheckner and captain Pam Levine. Levine
struggled late in the season as she tried to
battle a case of mono as well as the tough
opposition on the court. Her mono eventually
won, as she was forced to sit out the Rolex
Tournament where she was scheduled to play
doubles with Scheckner.
Junior Ana DeChecke and Mary Edwards
provided some key victories for the
Minutewomen, but will be battling for spots
on the team next year as Dixon steps up the
intensity of her recruiting. Edwards, who lost
some close matches but fared well in doubles
play, was hindered in the early portion of the
season by a shoulder injury.
While the team's future successes or
failures will primarily stem from the younger
players, there is no doubt that the
Minutewomen will be turning to the return-
ing upperclassmen next season for leadership
and experience. With the continued hard work
and the guidance of Coach Dixon, the team's
future looks bright.

The serves were high and the strokes
were strong. The tension radiating from the
court could be felt by the players, the coaches
and by the fans. Occasionally a grunt or a
shout would resound from different players
but it was the rhythmic sound of a ball against
a racket that kept the excitement of all in
attendance.
The Men's Tennis team had reason to
expect success this fall. Throughout the sea-
son they collected a string of victories that
ended with a final record of 3-2. Kasper
Vaala, an exchange student from Denmark,
said, "As a team we encouraged and pushed
each other. As friends we depended on and
helped each other."
Training for the fall season included 7
a.m. warm ups and drills followed by morn-
ing practice. Two times a week the team
lifted weights and did aerobics to remain
conditioned and strengthened. One team
member, who practiced yoga regularly, stated,
"If my mind wasn' t focused my body couldn' t
be either."
Leading the men's tennis team was
Coach Dixon and Assistant Coach David
Klienman. When asked if having a female
head coach was strange, Vaala said, "No,
because Coach Dixon is very comforting.
She is always there to guide us." Another
player agreed admiringly, stating, "Gender

has nothing to do with the makings of a great
coach. I felt secure knowing that I could
always look to her for praise when the serve
was good, or for encouragement if it wasn't
so good." However, another player said, "At
first I thought it would be easy to take advan-
tage of her as a coach because she was fe-
male. But after seeing that she doesn't put up
with anybody who isn't completely dedi-
cated to the sport, I have a whole new respect
for her."
Tim Lipski, an SOM junior and Division
One Honorary, explains, "Despite recent set-
backs, the team still managed to come out on
top." Last year, the team's varsity status was
dropped. The school decided that "the men's
tennis team could no longer be registered as
University Varsity affiliation." Also, the
University would not allow the team to raise
their own funds. One player said, "It bothers
me that UMass has such a hold over us like
that. We all want what is best for the team but
somewhere a line has been crossed."
Assistant Coach David Klienman said
that the fall season's team "was filled with
immense spirit and dedication," and insisted
that every player deserved to be commended
for his performance. He named Ankur
Baishya, David Bradley and Kasper Vaala as
the most impressive players and concluded
by saying, "In my four years on the team I've
made great friends and learned about sports-
manship and camaraderie. That's more pre-
cious to me than anything I got out of a
textbook."

Quick. Tough. Powerful. These are all
adjectives used to describe the Women' s Vol-
leyball team here at UMass. Part of their
success can be attributed to the team's coach,
Bonnie Kenny. As a 1 982 member of the SEC
All Tournament team, Kenny knows what
volleyball is really all about. Her knowledge
and skill have played important roles in the
Minutewomen's success.

Also involved are the star players Rachel
Sky, Cass Anderson and Dionne Nash. Sky, a

fornia, is deemed "the most athletic indi-
vidual on the team" by her coach.
The rest of the team consists of eight
freshmen including kill leaders Kim Mizner
and Susan Maga. Maga missed the first three
matches which had a strong impact on the
success of the team. After her return the team
was able to play back to back matches which
made things "a little easier" according to
Kenny.
Kenny also said that the team's success
has been an individual as well as a group
effort. "On the whole the team is skilled,
dedicated, and powerful." Individually, each
athlete brings something different to the sport.
"Nash brings her skill and encouragement.
Sky brings her knowledge and endurance.
Mizner brings a positive attitude, her love of
the sport, and her good spirits." Overall,
Kenny says that all the athletes have com-
mand over their bodies and their minds,
which has helped them with concentration
and lead the team to continuous victories.
Mizner and Nash agree that without
Kenny, Women' s Volleyball would not have
known the success shown throughout the
season. And Kenny returns the admiration by
saying that "the team is comprised of a good
nucleus of players. It says a lot about UMass
and the type of kid that comes here."

DASHING THROUGH THE
Everybody knows every bit there is to
know about the basketball team. Everybody
also knows about the baseball, football, soft-
ball, field hockey, and even lacrosse teams.
People have heard of the swim team, track
teams, and the tennis team. But the ski team
. . . what's that? The majority of people don't
even know that UMass has a ski team. We
understand that skiing isn't a real spectator
sport. Standing out in the cold to watch some-
one come down for a total time of 50 seconds
may not seem totally worth the two hour drive
to the mountain. (People complained enough
waiting an hour for Temple basketball tick-
ets.) So, in order to provide some background
on the team, we would like to clear up some
common misconceptions:
#1 — "Isn't the ski team the group who takes
ski trips to Killington and other places. I was
thinking about joining that."
No, there is a difference between the ski
team and the ski club. One is a varsity sport
and the other parties at ski lodges every
weekend.
#2 — "Oh, so you must ski at Mt. Tom."
No, we train at Berkshire East.
#3 — "So do you race against each other?"
No, there are two events in a weekend:
Giant Slalom and Slalom. In Giant Slalom,
the gates are close and the skiing is technical;
in Slalom, the gates are further apart and the
skiing is high speed. Although ski racing is a
team sport, the clock is your biggest oppo-
nent.
#4 — "Do you ski fast?"
YES ! That is what ski racing is all about.
#5 — "The temperature on a ski mountain,
many times, falls below zero. I'll bet you like
this weather."
Remember skiers are human. Being out
in the bitter cold is not the part of skiing we
enjoy.
So, exactly what is the ski team? UMass
is in a league with eight other schools: Boston
College, Plymouth State, Smith, St. Anslems,
Dartmouth, Babson, UConn, Trinity, and
Brown. UMass kicked off the season with a
ski-carnival at our home slope, Berkshire
East. We race ten men and ten women in each
race. Slaloms are on Saturday, and Giant
Slaloms are on Sunday. After the tenth race,
we send our top five men and women to the
regionals at Waterville Valley. There we com-
pete against schools on the East Coast.
Freshman Tom Schafer consecutively
captured the gold throughout the season, lead-
ing the men' s team to the Nationals. Other top
scores for the men were made by senior John
Soglia, and junior Terry Retelle. For women,
seniors Beth Martin and Kim Lombardi, and
sophomore Danielle Kukane were the top
scorers for the season.
Several people led us to victory through-
out the season, but ultimately, it could not be
done without Coach William McConnell. At
76 years old, he still finds the time and energy
to be out in the bitter cold, skiing and cheering
on his team. Another asset was Coach Paul
Putnam, our training coach. Without these
two people's hard work and dedication, the
team would not exist.
As the snow stopped falling and the grass
started to appear, our season came to an end.
Many good times are left on the slopes for
next year's men and women to add to, and
many memories will carry on.

UMass basketball has grown from games
in the Cage — often interrupted by squirrels
scurrying across the court in front of virtually
empty bleachers — to "Mullins Madness" —
hundreds of screaming face-painted, sign-
bearing fans. In the past four years, UMass
has gone from thrilling NIT victories to har-
rowing NCAA Tournament defeats.
This year, UMass started its season with
a foreshadowing tournament. A thrilling vic-
tory over national champions UNC, through
the efforts of all and capped off by Mike
Williams's three pointers in regulation and
overtime, was tarnished with concern over
freshman Marcus Camby's potentially ca-
reer-ending knee injury. Four games later,
with a record of eight and one, UMass entered
the Abdow's Hall of Fame Classic with a
rejuvenated Marcus Camby to fight for the
Championship. As in the past, UMass tri-
umphed, and Mike Williams was named MVP,
once again an interesting moment of fore-
shadowing.
Calipari's young warriors made it to 14-
2 overall and 6-0 in the Atlantic Ten Confer-
ence, before returning home to continue their
undefeated record at Mullins. The fifteenth
victory came against Coach Jarvis's George
Washington Colonials. After trailing GW for
the entire game, sophmore Donta Bright found
Camby in the lane for a dunk and a foul which
brought down the house. Unfortunately, the
excitement of the victory was crushed less
than a week later in Cincinnatti. It began with
the collapse of Mike Williams. Ironically,
this occurred exactly six months after the
death of Boston Celtics' captain Reggie Lewis.
As it turned out, Williams was not the victim
of heart problems, but precautionary mea-
sures kept him out of three games.
With the return of Williams, UMass de-
feated URI in Providence, bringing their over-
all record to 18-4, and undefeated in the
Atlantic Ten Conference. Two days later, the
Minutemen tackled Temple and once again
squeaked by with a game-winning shot by
guess who? Mike Williams ! And who jumped
up in the now-famous confrontation when
Temple Coach John Chaney lunged for Coach
Calipari? Mr. Williams again. The irony of
106 ATHLETICS
this victory, however, is not only the winning
basket by Williams, but the overshadowing
postgame incident which received more air
time in more states than the Minutmen's
victory over Temple. UMass raised its record
to 23-5 at Temple. Once again, things un-
folded in a strangely familiar order. With
seconds left on the clock, Mike Williams
pulled up behind the NBA three point cres-
cent and banked the game winning shot for
the first UMass at Temple win ever. There
was nothing that could take away the thrill of
this victory.
The team ended its regular season at 24-
6, defeating Duquesne at the Mullins Center
on Senior Night. Craig Berry, the lone senior
on the team, summed up the emotional year
of wins and losses with a reverse double-
pump jam. A walk-on from Cambridge, MA,
Berry was pleased with his opportunity to
contribute to the team over the past two
years.
Outstanding athletes were honored at an
awards ceremony at the Atlantic Ten Confer-
ence later that week. Award recipients in-
cluded Mike Williams, named to All Confer-
ence Third Team; Marcus Camby, named
Freshman of the Year, Newcomer of the
Year, and to All Conference Third Team;
Lou Roe, named to All Conference First
Team; and Derek Kellogg, named to the
Academic All Conference Team. Coach John
Calipari was named Atlantic Ten Coach of
the Year. (After the Championship game,
Mike Williams received his second MVP
award of the year.) After defeating St.
Joseph' s and Duquesne, UMass braced itself
for its third meeting with Temple. Victorious
yet again, the Minutemen plowed over
Chaney' s Owls, gaining a number two seed
in the mid-west for the NCAA Tournament,
and bringing their record to 27-6, one of the
best in the country.

Up Close
and Personal
They have come from all over the country to Amherst,
Massachusetts, to play a game they have probably loved since
they were young. They have made up one of the most successful
UMass Basketball teams ever to play. They are the players of
the Men's Basketball Team. The 1994 Index was granted an
interview with these players who Refuse to Lose.
[to Lou Roe]: What do you have to say about the
differences between playing as a first year stu-
dent with leaders like Anton Brown, Jim McCoy,
WillHerndon. Harper Williams, and Tony Barbee
versus now being in their shoes as a leader and
playing with first year players such as Donta
Bright, Marcus Camby, Edgar Padilla, and
Carmello Traviesco?
LR: Well, there's more at stake now then there
was my first year. I didn't have to worry about
being a leader. Your first year you just worry
about keeping your own head above water, but as
a leader, you worry about other players coming
along.
[to Derek Kellogg]: As a senior in high school,
did you ever anticipate yourself being a co-cap-
tain on a Division One, Top Ten Nationally ranked
basketball team?
DK: No, I did not. I just feel lucky that I have an
opportunity to be a part of the team and a part of
the program.
[to Mike Williams]: How do you feel your game
has evolved from your first year to now?
M W: I think I got a lot better because I ' ve gotten
a lot of strength from lifting weights. I can put the
ball down low better and finish off more plays. I'd
like to add a special thanks to my mom and dad,
Michael, Mishawn, Ebony, and Richard Thomas.
[to Carmello Traviesco]: How does it feel to win
the Atlantic Ten Championship as a first-year
student?
CT: As a freshman, to win our league was great
just because it was the first college championship
I took part in. Since this is my first year, when we
finally did it [three in a row] it was special - not
just to win the championship, but to be part of

[ to Rigoberto Nunez]: What would you say i
major difference between this year's team

RN: This year's team is better, a more am
team, definitely. Last year's team couldn't n
much as this year's team— there was a lac
athleticism.
[to Donta Bright]: Do you think being forct
sit out your first year (Prop 48) had a posith
a negative effect on your game?
DB: Positive because I got to work on someo
skills. During the year, I had to sit out whichn
it so I could lift weights and work on my acac
ics.

It was a lot of fun to go back there, but my

s from Wisconsin. It's a little different from

Marcus Camby]: How does it feel to be

MC: Oh my gosh, it feels great you know to be
compared to somebody making millions of dol-
lars at that age. It makes me feel I can accomplish
things, but I have a lot of hard work ahead of me.
[to Dana Dingle]: What were your pre-game
thoughts in Madison Square Garden, knowing
that you were about to play against North Caro-
lina in front of a hometown crowd?
DD: I thought about how it was a big game, but
I had confidence that we could win— catch them
off guard because it was their first big game, too.
It was more important to have a decent outing in
front of my friends and family. As a child, you
always dream of playing in the Garden. [Dana is
from the Bronx, New York.]
[to Craig Berry}: What was going through your
mind as you prepared for your legendary senior
night dunk?
CB: Taking the rim off and going home with it!
[to Edgar Padilla]: How would you like to play
against your high school teammate, Travis Best
( who now plays for Georgia Tech) ?
EP: I would like to play against him. I think it
would be a good experience for me — I never
thought I was going to play against himin college.
[to Ted Cottrell]: Where is the best place in the
world to play basketball?
TC: Muffins because I have more support here.
When I get in [the game] it's better here because
everybody can see that I can play instead of
playing for some strangers.

Do you like to stand? Well, if you don't
then don't come to the Mullins Center when
the University of Massachusetts Minuteman
Basketball team takes to the court. The coach
of the Minutemen, John Calipari, often says
that we are the classiest and best fans in the
country and he means it. Over the past four
years, our whole campus has become in-
fected with Minutemania.
What is Minutemania? It's a difficult
concept to describe, more difficult than a
thermodynamics theory, harder to explain
than an accounting problem. However, if you
go to the University and follow the basketball
team, Minutemania gets to you. Minutemania
is the feeling you get at the game. When the
team is down by eight with two minutes to go
and the team needs a boost, that is when it
kicks in. Minutemania is the all out hysterical
appreciation for our team, even when they are
down.

The cause for Minutemania is simple,
it's the team. The basketball team plays all
out, all the time. They "Refuse to Lose," and
as a result we refuse to give up on them. By all
our efforts and theirs the team has prevailed.
Minutemania contributes to the team as much
as the team contributes to the school.
The symptoms of Minutemania are
unique to this University. The first symptom
anyone who goes to the game can see is the
extraordinary leg muscle strength. People
with Minutemania do not sit down at all
during the whole game. Another symptom is
the clinical deafness that the fans experience
for about two days after the game. Our fans
cheer for the team with the earth-shaking

EVEN
Step by step.
The 1993-1994 University of Massa-
chusetts women's basketball team took an-
other step to national respectability by doing
one particular thing that was a necessity.
They improved.
Coach Joanie O'Brien's Minutewomen
went 14-4 overall, an improvement from the
11-15 season before. Their Atlantic Ten
Conference record was 7-9, an increase from
the 6-8 record the year before. The outstand-
ing athletes for UMass included Octavia
Thomas, (16.5 ppg) and Melissa Gurile, (14.3
ppg) who increased their scoring averages
from the 1 992- 1 993 season. Emerging fresh-
men starters Beth Kuzmeski and Crystal

Carroll were also notable faces.
In order for UMass to improve, a strong
non-conference schedule was needed. The
Minutewomen took on such nationally ranked
teams as Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Vermont,
and defending NCAA champion Texas Tech.
Indeed, the schedule was stocked with tons of
national power.
With the improvement came accomplish-
ment. Shining moments during the season
included Gurile' s near perfect 38 point game
at Providence, the Minutewomen' s halftime
lead against nationally ranked Texas Tech,
and winning four out of five overtime games.
Octavia Thomas made the all Atlantic-Ten
First team, Gurile made the second team,
Kuzmeski and Carroll made the All- A- 10
freshman team. All of these individual ac-
complishments came together toward the end
of the season and enabled the Minutewomen
to advance in the A- 10 Tournament. In the
first round the team crushed St. Joseph's 76-
63 and proceeded to the semifinals.
Amidst the improvement, seniors took
on leadership roles. Francie Hansen, Cherie
Muza, Jessica Gould and starting point guard
Maleeka Valentine all played their final sea-
son in a Minutewoman uniform, and influ-
enced the underclassmen in a positive way.
There were others who contributed to
the Minutewomen' s .500 season. Junior Cass
Anderson and Sophomores Nicole Carter,
Tricia Hopson and Kim Gregory answered
the call when needed.
Despite the slight increase in season
records between the two teams, it was still a
major improvement. Like anything else, the
Minutewomen will achieve their long term
goals in due time.

After 15 years in hibernation, ice hockey
returned to the University of Massachusetts
and its first season was bigger and better than
ever before. The Minutemen went 20-9 in
their return campaign, playing a mixture of
Division I, II , and III teams.
Coach Joe Mallen was excited about his
predominantly freshmen team's first year
success. "We've done absolutely over and
above anything that I ever thought was pos-
sible."
Goaltending, defense and offense were
three impressive areas for the team. Highly
recruited Brain Reagan joined the two return-
ing netminders, producing a three-way battle
for the top goalie job. David Kilduff was the
power force for the Minutemen, posting a 14-
4 record on the season, and winning the
team's first victory against Villanova. Rich
Moriarty played well in the final stretch of the
season, including solid performances in
UMass' only win against a Division I oppo-
nent. "We showed a lot of promise in the
goal," said Mallen. "All the men did a good
job for us all. The goalie situation was a great
situation and competitive situation." The team
netted 176 goals in their 29 games.
Excellent defensive athletes included
Rich Alger and Armand Latulippe. Alger was
the first player to commit to UMass and
Latulippe scored the first goal for the team.
Captain Jaynen Rissling missed the first five
games of the season but still came through for

utemen to a string of 20 victories.
The Minuteman offense was potent all
season. The nucleus of Rob Bonneau, Blair
Wagar, Mike Evans, Blair Manning, Warren
Norris, Dennis Wright, and Tom Perry will be
counted on to build on their impressive first
seasons to contribute to the team next year.
If the future goes as well as the first
season, Mallen hopes to be a mainstay at
UMass. After less than a year as Coach,
Mallen has indeed made his mark. "I would
like to make a name for UMass hockey and to
make my imprint on the program for a long
time to come . . . This is going to be a special
year when I look back, because it's the year
we put UMass hockey back on the map."

Coach Mallen
Coach Joseph W. Mallen came to the University April 13, 1993 to resurrect the hockey program after 15 years of
rest.
rajcoach Mallen spent much of his coaching career as head coach at UMass-Boston. His coaching brought the team
from a poor club to a recognized winning varsity team. In 1986. Coach Mallen moved into the assistant coaching

His sevenjvear stay with Boston College gave Coach Mal len the experience and the tastes of victory to make him

Athletic Director Bob Marcum havesmted
that one of the athletic Department's five
major goals will be to win a national champi-
onship in hockey. Does that put additional
pressure on you?
JM: No, I don't think so. But I constantly try
to remind my self to have patience. My thought
is that the process is going to be gradual, step-
by-step. Once we can be in the top four teams
in Hockey East, we can make a run at the
national championship. If we can be a top
team in Hockey East, that means an NCAA
bid and that is a stepping stone we need to
reach.
MR: Hockey hasn 't been played here since
1979. Have you had any contact with any of
the old players and supporters?
JM: One of my goals is to re-unite the old
program with the new, to build those ties and
let the people who were associated with the
program know that they are welcome. We
need to bring back some of that tradition.
There were a lot of people who played here
and have a lot of pride in UMass, but who may
have acquired a bitter taste. We want those
people back. We want
them to know that
UMass hockey is
back, better than ever,
and we want them to
be part of it.
MR: John Calipari
came in here and in-
herited, not a new pro-
gram, but a program
that needed a lot of
work. Have you talked
to him about some of
the tilings he did to
build the basketball
team to national
prominence?
sion I athletics; what is needed for study hall,
pre-season conditioning, wide-ranging re-
cruiting, and a high level of discipline within
the team. John's done a great job with those
things, as well as marketing the program
within the campus and community. Of course,
you can do all the marketing you want, but the
bottom line is you have to win. He's worked
his tail off to do that.
The attendance, the
recruiting, the spirit
within the univer-
sity; it's great.
MR: Can hockey
achieve that level of
success here?
JM: On a local and
regional level we can
have that kind of suc-

is a completely dif-

ATHLETICS 117
This year's Women's Swimming Team
was a combination of teamwork, individual
talent, and accomplishments, which all led to
a season much more successful than the team' s
final 4-6 record.
Throughout the season, the team focused
on championships during which they com-
peted against ten to fifteen schools. At the
New England Championships at Springfield
College in mid-February, the biggest compe-
tition of the season, the Minutewomen swam
to third place. In the Eastern Collegiate Ath-
letic Conference, the team came in fifth place.
This was a great accomplishment in compari-
son to coming in tenth and eleventh in past
recent years.
Allison White, a senior HRTA major
who' s been on the team four years, had one of
her best seasons ever. A veteran diver of
thirteen years, White also adds gymnastic
ability to her style. Last year she won New
England Diver of the Year and this season
successfully defended her title, winning the
Atlantic Ten Women's Diving competition.
"When you dive, you want to rip," White
explained. "A rip is entering the water as
tightly as possible, vertically, so that you go
in smoothly and don't make a splash."

Talent and skill like White's were main-
tained with constant practice. "We practice
six days a week and have double sessions
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays," said
Kate Riddell, a senior sports management
major who's been swimming since she was
eight. Morning practices last an hour and a
half, and evening practices last two hours
each. During practices, members practice their
individual events like diving or distance swim-
ming, and weight train, run, and perform
calisthenics as well.
Tri-captain Kim Broad, a senior from
Indiana recruited by UMass said that good
coaching has a lot to do with a successful
season. This year, Dorsey Tierney joined the

Tierney, a swimmer from Texas, added her
own insight to the team as an NCAA breast-
stroke all-time record holder.
Broad, who competed in distance swim-
ming including the butterfly, backstroke, and
breaststroke, currently holds the UMass
record for the mile, which she set as a fresh-
man.
"We started out rough with a lot of
untried talent, and the dual meets were tough,"
said Broad. "We lost to Northwestern, Provi-
dence, and Boston College, but as the season
progressed we polished our act."
"This showed," said Broad, "when we
played UConn, one of the best teams in the
country, at home. During the first half we
killed them and set a series of lifetime and
season bests. We really caught them off
guard."
By the time of the ECACs, the team
came back to beat among other teams, every
one of those three teams (Northwestern, Bos-
ton, and Providence), ultimately placing fifth.
Freshman recruiting this year was more suc-
cessful than ever, resulting in ten new
Minutewomen on the team. For a team com-
peting in the Atlantic Ten Tournament, this
year's Women's Swimming was finally able
to recruit with force. As a result, the team has
an even stronger look ahead.

ATHLETICS 119
The 1 993- 1 994 season for the University
of Massachusetts men's swimming team was
nothing short of an emotional roller coaster
ride. The Minutemen got off to a fast start
winning their first 10 meets prior to a show-
down with longtime rival, the University of
Connecticut. In what Coach Russ Yarworth
called "a good example of team work," the
Minutemen defeated UConn by a score of
130-1 12 in a come-from-behind effort.
The presence of four outstanding
seniors led UMass to victory in several com-
petitions. Sean Clark placed first in the 50-
yard freestyle, Tim Nubar won the 100-yard
fly and the 200-yard fly, Dan Buzinski won
the 500-yard freestyle, and Steve Jungbluth
120 ATHLETICS
captured first place in the 1 000-yard freestyle.
"Seniors are always important to the perfor-
mance of a team because of their experience,"
Yarworth said.
The victory put the final touches on a
perfect season for the Minutemen. UMass
finished with a 12-0 record, their best win
total since the 1989-1990 season when they
were 13-0. "It was a surprise," Yarworth
said. "We came up with some great perfor-
mances."
At New England Championships, the
Minutemen again displayed their great skill.
The swimmers compiled 1050 points, a full
276.5 points ahead of runner-up Springfield
College.
Tim Milbert was UMass' top swimmer,
winning the 200-yard individual medley, 1 00-
yard breaststroke and 200-yard breaststroke.
Milbert was named top male swimmer for his
performance.
Tim Nubar capped off his career at the
New England Championships by being named
the recipient of the Hugh MacCurdy Award
for compiling the most points over his four
year career.
The Minutemen had a disappointing con-
clusion to their winning streak at the ECAC
Championships, scoring 260.5 points and
ranking in fifth place. "A highlight was tojust
see the team try 100 percent; even though

said Coach Yarworth.
Despite the disappointments, there were
several bright spots for the Minutemen. Greg
Menton won two events at the ECAC's, the
50 yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle.
Menton posted times of :21.00 and :45.61
respectively. Rob Coletti swam to personal
bests in three events. He posted times of
:21.63 in the 50-yard freestyle, :51.98 in the
100-yard butterfly, and 1:56.26 in the 200-

yard butterfly. Jeff Shearstone also achieved
his personal by scoring a 2:07.48 in the 200-
yard breaststroke. That score placed
Shearstone in ninth place. "He definitely
lived up to his potential" said Yarworth.
Yarworth praised the men for their de-
termination and skill throughout the season.
"The entire team is an incredible bunch of
athletes. The camaraderie between the swim-
mers has definitely enhanced their perfor-
mances, both individually and as a team."
The Minutemen deserve this adulation and
have proven that they have what it takes to be
victorious.

Minuteman to win gold at these competi-
tions. That score also makes him the top rings
gymnast in the ECAC. He also made the
finals for the vault and for the floor exercise
in which he placed sixth.
The Men's Gymnastic Team had a fa-
vorable season and a series of victories to add
to their already outstanding record. Ten of
the 30 team scores were personal bests. Fresh-
man Ruslan Shupac captured a 9.55 on the
floor exercise and a 9.20 on the parallel bars.
Chris Funk scored a 9.65 on the still rings and
Andy Fulmer received an 8.90 on the high
bar. Freshman Gabe Colombus accomplished
his personal best on the pommel horse by
scoring an 8.45. All in all the team showed
great strength and immense concentration in
the shadow of defeat.
Outstanding pommel horse athletes in-
clude freshmen Kiat Olber and Lorenzo
Macaluso and senior Jay Santos. According
to Coach Roy Johnson, Olber' s performance
was a "key routine for the team." Johnson
also stated that Macaluso and Santos were
"two of the best pommel horse competitors
in the league." Macaluso lived up to this
praise by placing fifth on the pommel horse
at the ECACs on March 12.
The Minutemen had an exceptional sea-
son resulting in many national and state hon-
ors. Co-captain Braud was an NCAA quali-
fier in the floor exercise, placing 16th in the
event. He was also the 1993 EIGL floor
exercise champion and 1993 New England
floor exercise and vault champion. Gabe
Columbus contributed to the team by placing
second on the floor exercise with a 9.45 and
by propelling to fourth in the all-around
competition with a 54.20. The gymnasts'
skill and determination led UMass to second
place honors with 269.35 points and ranking
them 17th in the nation.
Coach Johnson said, "The team has been
competing very well and I hope they will
start to peak so that we can reach the 270

point mark." This score could earn UMass a
first at the EIGL championships.
Coach Johnson pointed out the number
of gymnasts who have been performing well
this season. Among them were Peter
Degenhardt who is "really good on floor
exercises and parallel bars," and Ruslan
Shupac who is ninth in the nation on the still
rings with a 9.63 and 16th in the nation in
vault with a 9.32 average.
Despite the departure of top seniors Braud
and Santos, Johnson says that the team has
"enough strength, determination, and im-
mense concentration to lead us to victory
again and again."

The UMass women's gymnastics team
had an extremely successful season in 1993-
1994, resulting in a series of personal and
team victories. First, at Senior Night, the
team met their arch rivals, The University of
New Hampshire Wildcats. The Minutemen
broke their all-time total point record with a
score of 189.835. Although the Wildcats
edged out UMass with a score of 190.625,
Minutewoman Coach David Kuzara was
pleased with the team's overall performance.
"We broke the school's record, and in a year
when the scores aren't supposed to be very
high," he said, "that's pretty impressive."

The team's two seniors, Margaret
Furtado and Angela Jent, were recognized as
contributing immensely to the team for four
years. Kuzara stressed the importance of a
young team having two qualified and tal-
ented seniors as role models for the rest of the
gymnasts. "Margaret and Angela have shown
continuous grace, concentration, and skill
throughout their gymnastic career at UMass.
It shows the rest of the team the components
of a great athlete." Furtado and Jent have
shown their abilities in several aspects.
Furtado pulled a 37.425 overall score and
wound up third in the all-around competition.
Jent placed second on the bars with a 9.35.
Other notable athletes include Lianne
Liang and Tara Swartz. The two freshmen
captured combined scores of 37.95 and 37.725
in the all-around competitions. Shaheda Keels
was the top gymnast on the team leading with
a 9.825. Kuzara said that Keels is by far "one
of the most skilled and impressive athletes"
he has encountered. "She is amazing to
watch," says Assistant Coach Rene Lyst.
Kuzara said that the best thing about the
women' s gymnastics team is their spirit. "We
are a team with attitude, and that is dangerous
to our opponents." The gymnasts are so dedi-
cated that even injuries do not stop them from
performing. In February, Keels, still caring
for an injury, won the bars at 9.5. Kuzara held
her back from the vault due to her injury but
she still succeeded in producing a win for her
team. Kuzara also stated that "dedication is
the mark of a good team. Our women never
give up. That is more important than the
actual outcome of the competition."

UMass Water Polo Places Sixth at NCAA Championships
The UMass water polo team finished the
1993 season with a 21-6 overall record as
they made their first ever trip to the NCAA
Championships in Long Beach, CA. Com-
peting at the historic Belmont Plaza swim-
ming pool, the UMass poloers made some
history of their own by becoming the first
Eastern team to ever beat a west coast team in
the NCAA Championship history.
The seventh seeded Minutemen met
three-time defending national champion Cal-
Berkeley in the first round of competition.
The Golden Bears aggressive style of play
proved to be too much for UMass as the
Minutemen were defeated 17-4.
The second round game was the history
maker . . . UMass vs. UC San Diego. The 15-
1 3 win for the Minutemen began a new chap-
ter in UMass water polo history. This match-
up featured tremendous two meter defense of
Tasan Engin, the impressive goal scoring (5)
of Luis Limardo, and an immense 1 3 save
effort by Alex Mujica.
UMass fell to fifth-ranked Pacific 16-5
in the fifth place match-up. The Minutemen
left Belmont Plaza with their heads held high,
a 6th place NCAA finish, and the smiles that
come with success at the end of a long season.
Tasan Engin was the only Eastern player
to be named to the NCAA All-Tournament
team when he was named to the second team.
Engin was also the first UMass polo player to
ever be named to an All- America team (third).
By the end of the championships, the
UMass squad had made a name for them-
selves and the Eastern Conference.
Losing three starters to graduation, the
Minutemen will be looking toward their ex-
perienced underclassmen to continue the suc-
cess in the 1994 season.

Along
with a great
coach, and
the riders'
constant
support of
one an-
other, this
year's suc-
cess can be
attributed
to the fact
that the
team
worked
long and
hard
throughout
the entire
year.
The goal of every inter-collegiate eques-
trian team is to make it to the Nationals. This
year, our riders' lengthy practices, and con-
sistent performances at the horse shows paid
off. The UMass Equestrians qualified, as a
team, for the National Competition held in
Texas. Every rider worked hard for their own
individual goals, but also came together as a
team to help coach and support each other
throughout the season.
With twenty-seven talented riders, and
second-year coach Wendy Cicciu, every-
thing fell into place for the team. At the
winter break, UMass was tied with their rival
team, Mt. Holyoke, and Smith was close
behind. At the start of spring break, UMass
took the lead and held it, earning their posi-
tion as Regional Champions and qualifica-
tion to compete at the National Competition.
This year, members qualified as a team
and individually. Along with a great coach,
and the riders' constant support of one an-
other, this year's success can be be attributed
to the fact that the team worked long and hard
throughout the entire year. They practiced in
five degree weather this winter and often
ended up staying at the Hadley Farm until ten
at night. Weekends were filled with compe-
titions throughout Western Massachusetts.
Riders took lessons during the weekdays and
participated in various clinics at our farm and
other neighboring stables.
The UMass Equestrian Team has had
some wonderful seasons in the past, but this
year, with a great coach, incredibly talented
riders, consistent performances, and constant
practicing, the team reaped its rewards.
Congratulations to the UMass Eques-
trian Team for a winning season!

In the dim half-light of dawn, the sleek
shapes of the boats are barely visible. The
rowers warm up in a small circle, stretching
out their legs and backs before they carry their
shell down to the river. As they climb into the
boat and shove off from the dock, it is clear
that all nine athletes are eager for practice to
begin.
This eagerness is evidence of the deter-
mination that it takes to be a successful crew.
Every year, the Crew recruits over 100 stu-
dents as prospective members of the team,
but due to the rigorous training and unusual
hours, with practices every morning at 5 a.m.,
less than half of those recruits choose to
continue rowing. By the time winter training
begins in late November, only 50 of the
Novices remain. The fierce competition for
seating in boats and the tough racing schedule
during the spring season trims the ranks of the
Crew even further, until only the hard-core
rowers and coxswains remain.
This year the UMass Crew had much to
be excited about. In May of 1993, the Crew
was named National Champion for NCAA
Division II. In the wake of this great achieve-
ment, the University announced that it would
be awarding varsity status to the women's
crew starting in the 1994-95 season.
The Varsity Women quickly proved that
the University had chosen wisely by winning
four of the five races they competed in prior
to the New England Championships in May,
where they won the bronze in the Varsity
Women's Openweight Eights event. Unfor-
tunately, the Novice Women were not as
successful, losing by small margins in all five
of their races. However, they surprised every-
body at New Englands by placing third, and
qualified for the Champion International Col-
legiate Regatta, as did the Varsity Women,
the Varsity Lightweight Men, the Novice
Heavyweight Men, and the Novice Light-
weight Men.
The Varsity Men also had a trying sea-
son. Although they started the season with a
Heavyweight eight, a Lightweight eight, and
a Junior Varsity eight, the Varsity Men were
plagued with a high (continued on p. 131)

spring, and by New England Championships
they had only the Lightweight eight and a
Heavyweight four with coxswain. The Var-
sity Lightweights finished fifth at New
Englands; the Varsity Heavyweights won the
silver medal in their race, and then competed
at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia the
following week, where they placed sixth.
The Novice Men showed their skill in
their first race, where the Heavyweights com-
peted against Harvard's Novice Heavy-
weights, who are historically one of the best
novice crews in the nation. Although they
were beaten by Harvard's "A" boat, UMass
defeated Harvard's "B" boat and started off
their season with a bang. The Novice Heavy-
weights' fourth place finish at New Englands
proved their strength and determination. Like-
wise, the Novice Lightweights had an excep-
tional season, winning four of their five races
and placing fifth at the New England Cham-
pionships.
The Champion International Collegiate
Regatta was held this year in Occoquan,
Virginia, on May 15 — right in the middle of
finals week. Members of the Crew had to
reschedule their final exams in order to travel
to Occoquan and compete. The Varsity
Women came in tenth in the nation, and the
Novice Women were twelfth. Since the
women are losing only one rower to gradua-
tion, and two to foreign exchange, next year' s
squad should be even more successful. The
added bonus of University funding for coach-
ing staff, equipment, and scholarships will
undoubtedly contribute to the women's prom-
ising future.
The Varsity Lightweight Men placed
ninth in their race; the Novice Heavyweights
and Lightweights were ranked fifth and sec-
ond, respectively. With only six members of
the squad graduating, both the Lightwieghts
and the Heavyweights look to have a strong
season next year.

URDLING THE
For the second year in a row, Women's
Track and Field polished off an undefeated
dual meet season. The team won eleven and
lost none. At the New England Champion-
ships on May 1 4- 1 5 , which were held at Holy
Cross College in Worcester, the team placed
eighth overall. Summing up the season's suc-
cess, Coach Julie LaFreniere said, "The team
is definitely one of the top four or five in New
England."
One of the single greatest wins of this
year occurred against Boston College, whose
members are yearly contenders for top awards
and seasons. Last year the team just squeaked
by BC, but this year, as Coach LaFreniere put
it, "Looking at the competition, I didn't think
we'd do that well, but we easily won against
Boston College."
The skill and endurance of the UMass
team led to many spectacular performances,
and wins in individual events always varied.
"One of the main reasons we're undefeated is
that we don't try to specialize in distance, or
with sprinters, or by simply working our
throwers." However, schools like Boston Col-
lege typically focused on working on a few
star players and stressed selected events to
their players. LaFreniere continued to de-
velop her team all around, from throwing to
field events. As a result, the team has made
modest but real improvements each season.
"Boston College used to always beat us,
but I think they got a taste of our strength. I'm
very proud of the team," said Coach
LaFreniere.
At the New England Championships,
Heather Brown came in second overall in
javelin, Anya Forrest scored third in the one-
hundred meter hurdles, and Janey Meeks
scored fourth in the triple jump. In the 4x800
relay, UMass came in second place.

May 2 1 -22. The EC AC Championships were
held in Fairfax, Virginia. Brown threw jav-
elin and Meeks competed in the triple jump.
Both team members came back from the
ECAC's with experience that will make the
team even stronger next year.
This year's team was also represented
by a lot of new blood. "We had a very young
team," explained LaFreniere. "I was ex-
tremely happy with Track and Field this year,
and next year will be even better."
And with strong performances from
underclassmen like Brown, combined with
the guidance and experience of upperclass-
men like Meeks, Women's Track and Field
will be a team on the rise in next year's
Atlantic Ten Conference and in the New
England region.

ON THE
Right Track
Each year, as the snow starts melting and
spring fever starts setting in, the track and
field team begins their season. Superior was
the only word to describe the team and their
performance this season.
This season the men's track and field
team scored 1 7 points, placing them 8th among
32 teams at the New England Championships
in February. Coach Ken O'Brien estimated
the team's outcome before the champion-
ships and was pleased with their performance.
"You'd have to consider the whole event a
success. When you've been working real
hard for eight to ten weeks such a finish is a
natural outcome."
In the 4 x 800 meter relay, victories
abounded. Jason Brewer ( 1 :58.5), Steve Paris
( 1 :58.6), Brian King ( 1 :56.5), and Rick Copley
(1:56.5 ) finished the race in 7:50.54, qualify-

ing the ensemble for the IC4A (Intercolle-
giate Amateur Athletic Association of
America) Championships. Also qualifying
was the distance group of King, Rob Pedowitz,
Chris Povolny, and Copely, whose time of
10:17.05 was ranked sixth best for the day.
The 4 x 400 relay was completed in the best
time of the year by nearly two seconds
(3:26.00)
Other New England Championship vic-
tories included four athletes from different
aspects of track and field. Paul Doyle's 3,258
pentathlon points put him in fourth place.
Junior Tom Galligani came in 4th in the triple
jump with a score of 45 '5. 75". Mark Lefebvre
took fifth in the shot-put with a 497.25".
Finally, Rob Tauro's 7.92 in the 55 meter
hurdles placed him in the fifth position.
O'Brien said "the majority of the athletes had
their best performances of the year."

track, UMass came (continued on p. 135)

points. Led by sophomores Lefebrve and
Mike Masone the team peaked with four out
of 8 top finishes. Lefebrve, who was the
team's leading scorer, clinched first place in
shot-put and discus, with distances of 48' and
1 347" respectively. Galligani joined Masone
in the javelin with a top effort of 45'2" in the
triple jump. Lionel Benjamin won 100 meter
competition with the time of 11.3 seconds.
Juniors Rick Copley and Ethan Nedeau also
scored big. Copley beat his personal best by
over 10 seconds, winning the steeplechase
with a time of 9:26. Nedeau placed in the top
three in both the 800 and the 1500 meter
races.
UMass won the top three places in dis-
cus competition. In the 4 x 100 meter race,
UMass got the second place time with 44.6,
three-one hundreds of a second behind the
winning time. Coach O' Brien was extremely
pleased with the balance his team showed.
Next year, O'Brien hopes the success of
the team will continue. He said "the success
[this season] can be attributed largely to team
cooperation and immense dedication on the
part of everyone. I couldn't ask for a better
season in that regard next year."

A Force to Be
Reckoned With
The Women's Lacrosse team's 1993-
1994 season was filled with accomplish-
ments. First, and most important, was the
reinstatement of the team, which had been
inactive in official competition for the past
four years. Women's Lacrosse was cut from
the athletic budget in 1 990, but was funded
again in 1994 following legal battles.
The team showed their appreciation with
respectable teamwork and effort on the field.
Their strength was consistent on both of-
fense and defense. Many opposing teams
were intimidated by the agility of the
Minutewomen, and surely will not look for-
ward to meeting this fast growing team in
future matches.
Unfortunately, when it came down to
the end of their bouts with more skilled and
experienced teams, the Minutewomen came
up a little short, finishing the year with a 3-1 1
record.
The Women's Lacrosse team showed
great advancement throughout the season.
"The team improved in both spirit and pride,"
said Coach Francesca Den Hartog, who was
new to the team this season. She continued,
saying that the leadership and guidance of
the senior co-captains Diane Clemente and
Rachael Splaine was an integral part of the
team's powerful rebirth.
This power was especially evident in the
performance of freshman goal tender, Patricia
DiBenedetto. As the season progressed, so
did DiBenedetto, becoming one of the top
goalies in the country.
At the end of the year, Clemente was
named to the IWLCA Ail-American North
Regional Second Team, after an impressive
season of fourteen game starts, five points,
and five assists.
At the conclusion of their first active
season since 1990, the team was commended
for their dedication and hard work. Governor
Weld, at the Annual UMass Day at the State
House, made special note of the Women's
Lacrosse team and their efforts. Weld and
other state officials went on to discuss the
importance of the Women's Athletic Pro-
gram and praised all womens' athletic teams.
Women's Lacrosse members are confi-
dent that next year's team will further im-
prove. With a team composed primarily of
freshmen and a strong recruiting class, ability
will improve, and accomplishments are sure
to grow. This year's performance was a fine
preview of things to come.

LflCBOSSE
The Men' s Lacrosse team had a success-
ful season in 1994, just missing out on the
NCAA with an overall 9-5 record.
The Gorillas were led in scoring by jun-
ior Mike Valente, who totaled 45 points for
the season and also made the team high of 33
assists. His hundredth career point, scored in
the final game against Army on May 7,
rounded out a spectacular season for Valente,
with a year left for him to further showcase
his talents.
Close behind was senior Wes Depp, who
scored 44 points this season and finished a
stellar career with 111 points. The future
looks bright with the arrival of freshman
Brendan Glass, who scored an impressive 33
goals in his first season. A former high school
AU-American, Glass became the Gorilla's
second leading scorer. Glass and defenseman
Dave Murphy were both rewarded for their
playing abilities by being named to the All-
Tournament Team.
The Gorillas finished second in the pres-
tigious 3rd Annual Fleet Invitational at Brown
University in Providence after being defeated
by the Syracuse Orangemen, 1 6-9 in the final
game the previuos weekend. They started off
well on Friday, with Depp scoring two goals
for a total of 60 career points. Friday saw the
Gorillas coming in at number 13, but they
suffered a downfall to Syracuse on Saturday.
It was the fifth time this year that a UMass
team has played against a defending national
champion.
The team may have suffered losses that
weekend, but it is important to remember that
the team was at a disadvantage from the
beginning of the season. The team had only

had five days use of their field before the
tournament, making it difficult to get much
game practice time in. Nevertheless, they
made up for their lack of practice by giving
100 percent in every game.
Unfortunately, the fine offensive skills
of Glass, Depp, and Valente weren't enough
for the season to continue post-season. Ten is
the minimum needed to win in order to have
a shot at NCAA. With a 9-win credit to their
season, however, and the promise of Glass
continuing his contributions to the team, the
Gorillas are expected to return with a high-
winning streak next year.

Chris Martens steps to the plate and
practices her batting stance before the pitch
heads her way. She sees the pitcher ahead of
her and focuses her concentration on the
softball. The field is quiet for a minute until
the crack of the bat resounds throughout
Totman Field. The excitement has begun.
Cardenas hits a double and charges to third
base as the other team scrambles to catch the
ball. After Sam Cardenas hits a single, Mar-
tens dashes home and scores the third run in
a row for the Minutewomen.
Freshmen Chris Martens, the softball
team' s top hitter, is praised by her teammates.
Martens has proven to be a great assets to the
team. Her batting average is .403 and her
personal record includes 31 hits and 18 RBFs.
Coach Elaine Sortino says that Martens is an
extremely dedicated player who "gives 110
percent of herself at each game." For Martens
the 1994 season was a time for personal
victories. During the Connecticut game, Mar-
tens hit a rare triple to right field and had
team's best batting average at .387. She was
named Atlantic- 10 player of the week in
April. In the CCSU contests, she ranked fourth
in the conference in hitting. Her 21 RBI are
also the most for a Minutewoman.
The team anchor is junior pitcher, Kelly
Daut, who pitched nine wins. Daut also had
one of the best ERA's on the team, lowering
it to 1.58 midway through the season. Her
strikeout-to-walk ratio was 46-12, after she
struck out 7 and walked none. "Daut is the
type of athlete who sets goals for herself and
isn't satisfied with her performance until she
has fulfilled those goals," says Sortino.
Sophomore Dana Colla is another out-
standing player. In 15 innings she has al-
lowed just two earned runs, giving her an
extraordinary 0.93 ERA. Colla has gone the
distance this season to (continued on p. 141 )

her team. Colla has added depth to the team
with her immense skill.
The Minutewomen definitely have a
pitching advantage. The team ERA stands at
2.36, as UMass scored more unearned runs
(35) than earned (30). Daut is largely respon-
sible for this statistic but freshmen Dani
Ortega also did her part. "Ortega's the most
advanced we've had as a freshmen," Sortino
said. "No matter how many times she is
defeated she always bounces back to lead us
Below: Junior ace pitcher Kelly Daut gives

to victory." Ortega was also named Atlantic-
10 Player in April.
The team's offensive is comprised of all
freshmen. Martens, Cardenas, Michelle
Methit, and Jodi Sorenson continued to lead
the Minutewomen to several consecutive wins
and helped to raise the team' s winning streak.
Sweeping victories became commonplace
for the Minutewomen and brought the final
record to 3 1 and 19. Ranked 7th in the North-
east Region, the team closed out the season
with a 7 game winning streak and a .27 1 team
batting average.
Sortino says that "this season has been

Ferarri:
The UMass baseball team started off the
season with a no- win record in the first series
of games in Florida, but bounced back after
returning to the North, making for an overall
31-17 season and a place in the Top 15, and
becoming the second best season in UMass
history.
Each Spring Break, the team begins their
season with a trip to Florida to play eight
games. The reason for this is that most win-
ning college baseball teams in the East are
from the South. UMass, unfortunately, didn't
fare well last Spring Break, losing all eight
games.
This bleak start didn't last too long, how-
ever. The Minutemen began their winning
streak with three games against the Temple
Owls in Philadelphia. They started with a 10-
6 victory on Saturday and continued with two
more games on Sunday. In the first of these,
UMass shined in a 19-3 win. Pitcher Peter
Ferrari gave an outstanding performance, al-
lowing Temple only five hits. In the Series
Finale, Temple was beating UMass 9-3 until
the seventh inning, when Minuteman Greg
LaRocca hit 2 back-to-back homeruns. The
game ended in a close 15-14 win, extending
UMass' winning streak to 10 games.
The team' s winning streak was stretched
to 11 on April 19, with an unexpected 9-5
victory over Central Connecticut State Uni-
versity. This is the longest in Coach Mike
Stone's career at UMass. Overall, Stone had
a very successful year, having been named
Atlantic- 10 Coach of the Year.
The Minutemen finished the year with a
31-17 season, their best ever, with the excep-
tion of 1988, when they finished with 36
wins. Senior Justin Howard finished with the
all-time hit record of 193, up from a former
record of 188. Although no players were
named to the First (continued on p. 143)

(continued from p. 142) Team All-American
Conference in 1994, sophomore Ryan Jette
and junior co-captain Greg LaRocca were
both named to the Second Team.
Senior pitcher Pete Ferrari certainly had
the best year of his career at UMass during
the 1994 season. Ferrari came into the season
withaO-1 careerrecord anda5.05 ERA. This
season, he compiled a 6-3 record with a
minuscule 1.80 ERA. He only gave up one
homerun, the lowest of all the starters on the
team. Ferrari was also second on the team in
strikeouts with 48, three behind team leader
Jay Murphy, who had 5 1 .
Next year's team will miss this year's
seniors Jeff January, Justin Howard, Mike
Kersten, Pete Ferrari, Scott Meaney, and
Greg Dowd, but the strong background of the
younger Minutemen will guarrantee a grand
slam of a future for the UMass Baseball

Left: Even the Chancellor's House could

-photo by Joe M,
Staring out his second story window over-
looking the parking lot, he watches the large
white flakes blanket various cars in a soft white
film. He liked to watch the path of the large
flakes as they made their way down to the sea of
white. Then the wind would pick up and the
snow began to defy gravity, he would let out a
whimper and furrow his brow. In the distance
he could hear the sound of metal scraping against
pavement as the plows tried to keep the snow
from staying where it had originally landed . The
town was fighting to make tomorrow another
efficient working day. But he hoped it would
loose.
Just think, if enough snow fell, that home-
work that was due in the morning, would not
need to be done. Just think, if enough powder
came down from the sky, there would be a day
in the middle of the week free of school. Just
think, if the hills in the parks were covered with
snow sledding will replace English, History,
and Science. Vague delusions of the blizzard of
'78 dance in his head for a drawn out moment.
He continues to stare in to the snow polluted sky
until the hour gets too late for any reasonable
coherence in school the next day. That is if it is
held, which is not where he has put his money.
He finally lies down in the bed his parents
thought he'd been in for the last few hours. Soon
after, he drifted off to the quiet sound of snow
clinging to his window.
Exiting a peaceful dream of a world with-
_o_ut school, his eyelids open with a start as the
sounds of the radio float into his room from the
kitchen. His father's busy noises are mixed with
the monotone listing of school closings. He sits
up more quickly than he ever would for a day in
the classroom. When he enters the kitchen, his
father turns off the sink and they stand their
waiting as the "A" listing of towns are finished
off. Andover, Arlington, Attleboro, then the "B's"
begin. If his school is going to be canceled it's
going to be in this set. All the announcer has to
do is say the magic word.
In those days it was common to have the
smooth radio voice utter the magic word. As
long as there was some snow. Back then it was
not uncommon to have a full day canceled, and
it was uncommon to have a half day canceled.
Now years later and a school system beyond the
opposite is true. The storms this year have cut
more days in half than the last three winters
combined. Every couple of days a storm front
invades the area and every snowy morning our
weary ears are glued to 99.3 FM hoping not to
have to get dressed; hoping we can just hop right
back into bed.
Snowy days where the paths are brown
pulp, icy days with the Arctic wind on the path
between the Library and South College, and the
lack of stable footing around campus have made
UMass a miserable place this season. Warm
days were a mixed blessing, knowing the im-
pending freeze would be back. It seems that it
would be easier to travel from the FAC to the
Student Union on a good pair of skates. If only
this weather arrived years earlier, or we were
years younger, the days would be filled with
sledding instead of trudging between classes.
For some classes, the weather was mor
blessing than a curse, such as Alpine Skiing at 1
Tom, which is the place to be when the flal
begin to fall. Large amounts of UMass stude:
took to the slopes on weekends. Those up fo
quick thrill went to Berkshire East and Mt. Tc
while others, with some extra dough and so:
time to kill, went elsewhere in New England. 1
mountains would be doing even better studi
business if school wasn't in session.
When the first snow of the year falls,
hope for school cancellations and enjoy the wh
makeover the landscape has received, even giv
the large amount of crutches checked out of hea
services for those who couldn't keep themseh
from falling on the ice. But by the 30th layer
snow on ice, and the last barrel of rock salt i
pended it became more than a little apparent tl
we all were going to appreciate spring a bit m(
this year. Especially since snow does not meai
day of vacation anymore.

50 STUDENT LIFE
Mud and
ne may recall, with a groan or
a shudder, the days when bull-
dozers invaded the UMass
campus. Though it feels as
iugh they've been here forever, it wasn't
ig ago that those gigantic, metal blobs
ne screaming onto campus bringing with
:m a constant cloud of dirt and smog,
tile, ever so slowly, they try to finish up
• "improvements" on campus, students
1 finding a new adventurous quality on
npus that adds a very annoying quality to
' UMass student life.
The "UMass construction theme park"
)vides a dangerous and not-so-amusing
?erience for everyone on campus. The
bill" usually begins in an attempt to get
out of your nine o'clock class. Groggy and
irritable, you stumble out of bed, giving your-
self just enough time to get from point A to
point B. But as you roll out on campus you
meet the steely smile of a steamroller coming
at you. Jerking quickly out of sleep, you
dodge it just in time and swerve into a heavy
shower of small (but deadly) pebbles from a
bulldozer nearby. As you hunch over, gag-
ging from the fumes of the churning ma-
chines and trying to get dirt out of your
contacts, you swagger into steaming fresh
pavement that encompasses your new shoes
in a burning, sticky mass. Becoming one with
the blacktop, you realize you haven't even
reached the Campus Center yet, and you are
fifteen minutes late for class.
eft: This year, the Chancellor's Garden is one of
le newest "renovations" made on campus.
-photo by Joe Minkos
Later in the day, and several cups of
coffee later, you are mores ready to meet the
"exciting" challenges that you are forced to
face on campus. You walk over a rickety
wooden bridge to get to the Engineering
building, unsure if it will hold you and the
twenty others crossing at the same time. You
try to master a way through the clever laby-
rinth of fences and barricades to reach re-
mote sections of campus. A one mile walk
turns into a four mile jog as you find yourself
late for a mandatory lab and stuck some-
where near the Parking Garage.
And don't think all the fun is being part
of the action; the UMass construction adven-
ture is a passive sport as well. Just sit back in
the Blue Wall with a Collegian and look out
the window as your peers dodge two-story
dirt piles, get trapped in ditches, hurdle
wooden blocks and shimmy between two
tractors as they try to get to class. You are part
of the construction wherever you are, whether
it be the tar you find tracked in on your rug
or the constant din of machinery that con-
stantly rings in your ears.
As you watch the few remaining patches
of landscape get tarred over with pavement
you realize the UMass construction adven-
ture has become a huge part of campus life
and it seems the "ride" is not nearly over yet.

redit cards have become a way of
life for college students. Usually,
one of the millions of credit companies
are camped out on the concourse offering
free coffee mugs or the useful pen and
pencil set for just filling out the easy to
follow applications.
Gone are the days of being rejected
for having no credit. Now it seems pos-
sible for anyone to get a credit card. The
basic qualification that is asked by the
hundreds of credit hocking vendors is a
valid student ID (which everyone has). A
small random sampling of UMass stu-
dents revealed that an average student
possesses at least one, but maybe up to 4
or 5 cards by the time they have gradu-
ated. The Sears credit card "is almost
guaranteed when a student reaches their
junior year in college" says an unnamed
college student who happened to jump in
front of me while I was strolling through
the mall (I chose the atlas!).
The Discover card, thecard that keeps
on giving, will give their new members a
$1000 credit limit to begin with and a
nifty number that will work in bank ma-
chines which will allow the user to with-
draw CASH! The fun thing about this
card is that they give you personalized
checks too. The potential is unlimited.
The UMass Alumni Association has
a card too. So when we all leave this
hallowed grounds and we need to re-
member what the campus looks like, rip
out the charge card and look at the serene
portrait of the chapel.

huge piece of the college experience? Con-
gressman Kennedy publicly stated that
college students should not be allowed to
get credit cards unless they have been
properly educated about the responsi-
bilities and dangers of these cards. Next
we'll hear Nancy Reagan saying, "Just
say NO to credit cards!" It seems that the
older generations feel that college stu-
dents aren't adults and have no concept
of finances. Well, personally, since the
economy is bad and there aren't summer
jobs for college students anymore, they
support my life in school.
Are they evil or are they a means of
for survival for college students? I guess
the only way to personally judge what
they are is to experience the joys and
pains of owing.

Did you see Dinosaur Jr. last year at Spring
icert or on the Lollapalooza tour? Have you
r seen Bill Janiwitz of Buffalo Tom play with
band in Boston? Have you seen Frank Black on
hovercraft in the desert on MTV, or Kim Dall
ing in water in the Cannonball video? If you
e seen any of these people or bands, you have
i a piece of Pioneer Valley History. All these
sts made their start here in our little corner of
world.
Since these artists have left the music scene
i in the Pioneer Valley, it has not collapsed but,
continued on. In small venues like the Iron

at any of the five colleges, new young artists are
struggling in the hopes of hitting it big.
The styles of these local bands are various.
If you crave a punk-type sound, bands like
Amanda's Dirty Secret, Meristem, or Princess,
then go no further than the Valley. If you are
looking for a funky sounding bands like Minibus
or Borderland, look in your back yard. If you
wanted a touch of the blues, Square Pyramid or
Cottonmouth could satisfy that craving. If you
wanted something great and indescribable then
you could have checked out Cameron's Way,
Electric Noodle Factory, Falafel Boy, Knuckle
Sandwich, Synaesthesia, or yeP! . All of these bands
are trying to make the jump that the Pixies, Dino-
saur Jr., and Buffalo Tom made.
One of the popular highlights of the Pioneer
Valley scene is the annual Loud Music Festival.
This year, as always, the festival was held in a
variety of Northampton hot spots with a multi-
tude of bands from A-Bone to Tizzy. More than a
dozen small time bands participated in this an-
nual tradition again hoping exposure in this area
will boost them to the big time.
This year the Pioneer Valley also attracted
artist of national attention. Belly, Radiohead,
Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Rage Against the
Machine, Quicksand, Pavement, George Clinton,
the Story, the Judybats, Paul Westerberg, Count-
ing Crows, the Posies, Dig, the Meatpuppets and
many, many more made an appearance in the
Happy Valley either at UMass or in Northampton
bringing with them fans from all over.
In the Pioneer Valley there is always a call
for a good time and good music. With the five
colleges in such a small area, music is spawned for
the enjoyment of the college population-.^j-^

Concerts, Sporting Events, and
You can see it all at The Mullins Center!
How did the students feel about the
Mullins Center arena in its second year of
being open? "I think it's one of the best thing
about UMass. It makes other forms of enter-
tainment, like concerts and special perfor-
mances such as Kristi Yamaguchi ice skat-
ing, more accessible to students," commented
Tania Fernandez, a junior biochemistry ma-
jor.
Students were most appreciative of the
new arena when it housed sports events like
Hockey and Men's and Women's Basketball
games. This year the Women's Basketball
team played some of their games under the
lights at Mullins, with hopes that they might
make the arena their permanent home. The
Mullins Center was also home to the Men's
team, which was the Atlantic-10 Champion
and was beloved by all Minutemaniacs. Dur-
ing games, the noise level reached high pitch
decibels as the students screamed, shouted
and chanted their team on to a great season.
Outside the Mullins Center, students lined
up hours before to get a front row seat in the
student section. They braved the cold, sub-

zero temperatures of this year's brutal win-
ter. Snow, rain, or mid-term exams could not
keep the students away from seeing an ac-
tion packed Minuteman game. Amy
McCormack, a junior double psychology and
theater major, remarked, "I loved it. Every
game was a great show of school spirit."
Also this year, the Hockey team started
it's very first season after a lengthy absence
from the University. Although the games
were not well attended the students still
thought that it was
great that Hockey
had returned to
UMass. Erik Dodge,
a junior mechanical
engineering major,
commented, "I think
the Hockey team has
been a great addition
to the school's sports
program. I can't wait
until the Big East
comes. " This year the
Hockey team played
against Division 2
and 3 teams, but next
year UMass will be
in the Big East Divi-
sion 1 League. As a
result, the games will
u have greater attendance as the teams UMcl
■ will be playing will be of higher rank.
■ Another benefit of the new arena tit
■
■ students enjoyed was the popular rock cc
" cert line-up produced at the Mullins Centij
"At what other university could Elton Job

ned her first rehearsal concert for UMass
ing the fall semester, perfecting her diva
:e for UMass fans. Students were also
py at the fact that they got to see this
mlar performer for only $10.
Events were also offered at the Mullins
iter for children and adults alike. During
spring, Sesame Street Live came to Amherst

C's." The Globe Trotters arrived to bring
to a lot of children, and though they

The Mullins Center was a great source of
student employment. All in all, between the
front of house staff, concessions, and set up
crew, the arena employed about 300 stu-
dents. Jen Desousa, a junior biology major
commented on her experience working at
the Arena, "I enjoy working at the Mullins
Center. It gives me the opportunity to work
in an entertainment environment." Ed

UMass won highest at the Northeast
Regional American College Dance Festival
at Boston University for a duet chreographed
by senior Dance major Tony Silva, and pre-
formed by Silva and Elizabeth Delia Ratta, a
senior Dance and Nutrition major. Silva and
Delia Ratta were invited to perform the duet
called Believing Me at the National College
Dance Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts, Washington D.C. on
April 28th in one of three gala concerts. The
three day event included performances of
the best college dances from the eight re-
gions in the United States, master dance
classes, panel discussions, and a performance
by the Dance Theater of Harlem. Tony Silva's
work was one of only four entries chosen
from the total 54 entries of the Northeast
Region, selected for National Honors and
performance at the Kennedy Center. This
merits UMass as one of top dance depart-
ments in the nation.
Tony Silva's Believing Me was a Modern
Dance piece which the ups-and-downs of a
relationship from confrontation to sensual
harmony. Most of all the dance was about
not giving up even though the relationship
was difficult. Silva and Elizabeth Delia Ratta's
performance were highly acclaimed by the
audience at the Boston Regional Festival,
and more importantly, by the three interna-
tionally famous adjudicators: Denise
Jefferson, the director of the Alvin Ailey
Dance Center; Mark Taylor, the director of
Dance Alloy and Mark Taylor and Friends;
and Bessie Schonberg, who has a prestigous
award called The Bessie named after her.
The adjudication of the dances at the
regional festival provided a yardstick by
which to measure students' work and per-
formances by professional standards. This
kind of professionalism is cultivated at
UMass. Over the past 25 years, UMass has
produced some of the best dancers from any
liberal arts schools in New England.
The University benefited from the
visiblity and recognition gained at the Na-
tional College Dance Festival. The prestige
achieved through the Kennedy Center per-
formance helped make UMass a more desir-
able school to attend for those seeking a
quality dance program.

The Fresh Batch
Imagine trying to teach a person every-
thing he or she would need to know to survive
at UMass. You would have to teach that person
about graduation requirements, howto choose
classes (and how to read a pre-reg guide!),
about touch-tone registration, choosing a
major, and choosing an advisor. You would
also have to teach that person how to choose
his or her housing, which means telling him or
her about each residential area on campus
and then teaching him or her how to use a
housing preference form. Campus social life
would also be a topic you would want to
discuss with this person, telling him or her
about the RSOs, Fraternities and Sororities,
and the othersocial outlets here in the Pioneer
Valley. Imagine trying to tell all of this informa-
and math testing, the new students have the
opportunity to meet with faculty advisors who
help the students make concrete decisions
about their schedules. Soon after, the student
is introduced to the wonders of touch-tone
registration. Housing tours show students their
future homes and in combination with semi-
nars, the students decide where they would
like to try and live. After all the official things,
finally the day is left for fun: open stage,
movie, or the ice-cream tour.
The second day is more of the same type
things, more tests, more seminars. By the end
of the orientation, hopefully these new stu-
dents will be ready to conquer the obstacles at
UMass.

"Frankly, UMass orientation is the worst
thing about the school." And so, with those not-
so-inspiring words from an older, experienced
brother, I departed for my dreaded summer ori-
entation. I had visited the campus before, but all
of the buildings were a blur in my mind. I didn't
Southwest from the Student Union and I didn't
really care. "Why should I?" I thought. "I'll just
sign in, pick some classes, try out the food and
then it'll be over and I can get back to enjoying a
comfortable summer at home. " Well, things didn't
go as smoothly as I had hoped, but those few days
weren't as horrible as my brother had predicted.
The first 24 hours were probably the worst,
since this is when the realization that I was actu-
ally at college sunk in. No more planning, no more
applications, no more self-descriptive essays and
not a single SAT to take. This may seem like a
relief to some, but to me, it was also a scare. After
all, I had done all those things to get to this point,
and what if I screwed it up? I tried to put those
fears aside and make the most of my two days-
since I still had two months to savor before the real
thing commenced.
So I played the silly "getting to know you,
getting to know all about you" games the counse-
lors forced upon us. And I made the obligatory
small-chat with the people in my small group —
none of whom I've seen since. Then came the most
stressful, aggravating, boring time of the whole
orientation — picking classes. This was the first
time I was exposed to SBs, PSs, ALDs, Gen-Eds,
multi-digit codes, lecture sections, discussion sec-
tions, 12:20 classes, 9:05 classes (which should I
choose? !) and of course everything was located in
different buildings all over campus. After perfect-
ing the ideal schedule (nothing too early, nothing
too late and enough time to get back to the dorm
for the afternoon talk shows), I was told "Sorry,
that one is filled up — upperclassmen get first
pick, ya know?" and "Oops, there was a misprint-
that one isn't being offered this semester, sorry."
AAARRGGHH!!! The frustration, the pressure,
the anger! It seemed like the only classes that
weren't filled up started with "Underwater..."
What's a freshman, oops, I mean the "first-year
student" to do (they started the P.C. early!).
I finally got to speak to an advisor and we
worked out a pretty decent schedule with the
classes I needed and some that I even looked
forward to. The good news was I still had my
afternoons free for "Couch Potato 101". The bad
news was that I got stuck with early morning
classes. Oh, well, at least the process was over and
I had successfully pre-registered ("What do you
mean 'pre'? Do I have to do it again?" I asked with
fear in my eyes).
When my mom's car finally rolled around
on the last day, I was able to let out a sigh of relief.
I had made it. And it wasn't horrible after all. I had
only gotten lost once, I had my first taste of
Antonio's pizza, and I had managed to make it
through 2 nights in the dorm while some strange
kid from New Jersey snored 5 feet away from me.
I guess my first taste of college wasn't so sour after
all — perhaps my first collegiate lesson was that
older brothers don't know everything.

"Where the heck are my classes?" A sigh of

be where you belong, you comfortably settle

school to the much larger college setting can
be very difficult for first-year students.
Coming to college for the first time is a
difficult transition, but coming to the realiza-
tion that you might actually have to do some
work is a shock. In high school, we all knew
that we could always get by when we stud-
must finally learn to budget our time and
concentrate our academic studies. Music
major Doug Metcalf said, "I didn't think that
the college workday would run from 8 a.m.
till the wee hours of the morning."
The lecture hall classes were common
things we all had to adjust to. Walking into a
room of 200 to 500 other students and actu-
ally learning to pay attention was a transition
we all had to make. Reminiscing back to the
first day classes, Biology major Kayvan
Darovian remembered walking into his first
lecture by saying, "Wow! How come there
are 200 people here?" Mimian Morales had
this to say about her (continued on p. 165)

After being here a year, we have all
gotten into the swing of things. We are learn-
ing more about ourselves everyday. Even
though some of us have no clue as to what we
want to do for the rest of our lives, we are
beginning to get a better idea from the differ-
ent classes we are taking.

An iplfill (Ultrnb
This year, the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst welcomed a new chancellor, Dr. David
K. Scott. Chancellor Scott hails from the storm-
ridden Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland.
Upon spending some time with Chancellor Scott,
he is likely to tell you of his years of education in
Scotland and England. He emphasizes over and
over that the majority of it was free.
The Chancellor earned a Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree in Physics at the University of
Edinburgh in 1962. He went on to Oxford Univer-
sity to receive the Doctor of Philosophy degree in
Physics in 1967.
Before becoming an administrative politi-
cian, Chancellor Scott held many different posi-
tions, including being a researcher at the Univer-
sity of California at Berkeley and the Scientific
Director of the Cyclotron Laboratory at the
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. In 1979, he ac-
cepted the position of John A. Hannah Distin-
guished Professor of Physics, Astronomy, and
Chemistry at Michigan State University.
In 1983, he became the Associate Provost at
Michigan State University and eventually went
on to become the Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs. In July 1993, Dr. Scott became
the new chancellor of UMass- Amherst.
Chancellor Scott's year began with few prob-
lems. He stated that he was concerned with many
issues regarding the University, including issues
of racial diversity on campus, the involvement of
the wider public in the University, and the use of
the University to support economic growth in the
region.
His troubles began in October in the now
famous mascot incident. A small group of stu-
dents opposed to the Minuteman symbol looked
to Chancellor Scott in hopes that he would sup-
port their efforts and change the image. However,
Chancellor Scott stated that the issue was not
open for debate, spurring the radical student group
to take further measures. After a member of the
anti-MLnuteman group began a hunger strike, the
Chancellor stepped forward in an effort to resolve
the conflict. He did and the hunger strike ended
over pizza.
In November, the Chancellor met with more
opposition and conflict. During a hiring freeze
declared by President Michael Hooker at the Uni-
versity, Scott hired two administrators from Michi-
gan State University, Marcellette and Keith Will-
iams. Marcellette's position, Deputy Chancellor,
was created by Scott. Keith moved into the posi-
tion of Associate Vice Chancellor for University
Advancement. The couple's combined annual
salary of $185,000 has been greatly criticized by
both students and faculty.
In February, Chancellor Scott met with yet
another conflict, this time over tuition and fees for
the University. The Student Government Asso-
ciation (SGA) learned of proposed increases for
the following fiscal year and decided to lobby
against them. They sought commitment from
Chancellor Scott in their quest for a zero percent
increase. The Chancellor did not change his stance,
still saying that the University needed a four to
seven percent increase in tuition and fees. The
SGA, upset with the position that the administra-
tion had taken, closed down the University Ad-
missions Center in an occupation, calling for the
support of the administration in their quest for a
zero percent increase in tuition and fees. After
many hours, Chancellor Scott signed an agree-
ment in the late hours of the night that said that he
would support the student's quest for no increase
in the tuition and fees higher than the rate of
inflation. He also stated that if the increase were
over the rate of inflation, he would increase the
financial aid pool. The campus became unified:
student, faculty, and administration.
Upon entering his new position as chancel-
lor, Scott stated that there was to be changes in the
administration at UMass-Amherst in order to
ensure the best possible team working for the
betterment of the University. Late in April, the
Chancellor took action with his dismissal of Pro-
vost Glen Gordon and Vice-Chancellors Samuel
Conti and Daniel Melley . This action has met with
mixed reviews. Some are hailing dismissals steps
as a first step to the reconstruction of the Univer-
sity, while others, such as the Faculty Union, are
expressing their dismay in these actions.
Overall, Chancellor Scott has had a positive
year, one with both ups and downs. Although it
was not flawless or problem-free, the Chancellor
is slowly gaining acceptance.

We the Students . . .
By re-creating the Student Center for
Education Research and Advocacy (SCERA)
this year, the UMass Student Government
Association (SGA) made the decision to fo-
cus most of its efforts on making UMass a
more affordable school. The Student Senate
became a lobbying force on Beacon Hill and
some members spent more time in Boston
convincing legislators to increase state fund-
ing to UMass than they did in the classroom.
With his doctorate in Higher Education,
Dr. Mark Kennon a former graduate student
at UMass and past President of the Graduate
Student Senate, headed SCERA and orga-
nized the large-scale SGA drive to cut stu-
dent costs at UMass.
In past years the SGA focused on a com-
bination of internal issues affecting UMass,
including which dorms would get condom
machines, and national politics, spending
hours in Senate meetings debating which
candidates to officially support. Three years
ago the Senate was almost disbanded by the
administration. The Senate's evolution as a
meaningful body of student representatives
was seen this year in major events and deci-
sions. The Senate began its goal of reducing
costs at UMass by working to convince Chan-
cellor David Scott, President Michael Hooker,
and the Board of Trustees not to increase
tuition and fees next year. Early in the year
the SGA felt no one was listening, so they
took over the University Admissions Center
in a snowstorm and caused a media sensa-
tion, until the Chancellor publicly stated that
he supported a zero percent increase if the
state budget to the school would increase by
the rate of inflation.
Student Senators then lobbied our State
Senators and Representatives on Beacon Hill
in support of the UMass Budget Request,
which, if passed, will increase the state bud-
get to the school by seven percent. Senators
made political and media contacts and earned
regular meetings with state officials. Their
large-scale tactics culminated with "State
House Day," a bus trip made by some three
hundred students to Beacon Hill. Students
met with State Senators and Representatives
and attended a luncheon with Governor Weld
celebrating the Women's Athletic Program.
Every student who went was excused from
classes with a note from the Provost Glen
Gordon.
This year, the Student Senate won a major
battle that had lasted six years. The Legal
Services Office won limited litigation rights
back. LSO provides free legal advice and
information to all UMass undergrads. Six
years ago it lost its right to litigate on behalf
of students after a student representee
LSO sued the University. SGA lobbiec
limited LSO rights to litigate against prir
businesses and landlords but not the Unl
sity or student vs. student. The Senate fil
bill in the Statehouse that was favor
passed by the Education Committee. El
tually the Board of Trustees gave in i
restored LSO's limited litigation before
bill went any further.
The Student Senate also re-wrote its I
stitution this year and created a solvent t
stitution with a three body government
fectively turning the student body of UT»
into a collective bargaining and lobb;
unit, gaining official recognition by the !
and the Board of Trustees. Matt Mai

feed that the BOG, with its $70,000 budget,
was no longer cost effective and formed the

sion, with a $14,000 budget, in its place.
The Student Senate also got criticized for
voting to allocate $15,000 to pay Black Mus-
lim activist Dr. Louis Farrakhan to speak on
campus. During Senate debate of the issue,
Hillel President and Senator Alan Weinfield
was expelled from his seat on the Third World
Caucus by its members for the methods he
used in attempt to gain support against bring-
ing Farrakhan to UMass. Eventually,
Weinfield was re-instated. Harvard Univer-
sity has decided to include Weinfield's ex-
pulsion in a book in the making about anti-
semitism on college campuses.
The Senate experienced its own scandal
at election time for the 1994-95 SGA Presi-
dent and Trustee election. Al Lizana ran for
re-election as Student Trustee against Sena-
tor Diego Figueroa. Driven by President
David Nunez's choice not to seek re-election,
Mirran Raphaely, a SCERA Media Coordi-
nator, joined Lizana's ticket. Joe Vozza, also

interested in the presidency, ran with
Figueroa. Chad Lechner, President of the
Radical Student Union and an advocate of
"No UMass Tuition," also ran for President.
Approximately 2,400 students voted and Al
Lizana won his position by about 500 votes.
But when votes were tabulated for President,
it was obvious that 75 ballots had been stuffed.
All candidates agreed to invalidate the votes,
and in the end Raphaely won by 140 votes,
though support for both major candidates
was strong, each receiving over 1,000 votes.
The SGA reconstruction has been a great
asset to the student body this year and no
doubt will continue to represent the needs of
the students in the years to come.

cept we never ran down the halls. We called
the guys down the hall with voicemail."
Chris and Dave are just two examples of
sophomores finally finding their niches at
UMass. The stories they told were repeated
by many. From joining clubs to forgetting
that people called parents exist, sophomores
all over the place agreed they felt comfort-
able in a UMass state of mind.
"You want to do things like join the
award-winning student organization that
publishes the yearbook, the Index," said jun-
ior Journalism major Kristen Rountree, who
joined the staff when she was a sophomore.
Sitting around drinking in a dorm room
alone doesn't seem to cut it, either, which is
largely why sophomores find jobs on cam-
pus.
"I realized when I got back I didn't know
enough people with cars and ID, and I didn't
have enough money to buy, so I got a job
working at Telefund. I met lots of people
who were 21 and I earned money. And I
haven't told my parents a thing," said one
sophomore who requested for obvious rea-
sons to remain anonymous.
"You just walk around campus and you
realize, all this is mine. It belongs to me," said
Denis Dersarkesian, a junior reminiscing
fondly over hs second year. "You even get to
live off campus. My professors work for me.
I own this place. I can give directions to all
the lost freshmen who don't know Bartlett
Hall from Gunness Engineering."

STUDENT LIFE 175
Are We
Having Fun Yet?
"This is getting old." This is a phrase that
most sophomores can relate to. The reason
for this outlook on life is obvious. Sopho-
mores get into a slump, brought on by being
in the second quarter of their college careers,
and no longer having to face the interesting
challenges of freshman life.
For one thing, classes don't hold the
same fascination they used to. As a freshman
classes are new, fun, and inviting as com-
pared to classes in high school. As you enter
your sophomore year, your classes, for the
most part, are not specific to your major. As
a sophomore, you find yourself learning the
stuff that needs to be done, not the stuff you want
to learn. You have general education require-
ments to fulfill. As a result, you experience
the added challenge of fighting to get into
classes. When you finally get into these
classes, you find yourself just trying to slide
by, looking forward to the interesting classes.
For the time being, it seems to that your
college career is going nowhere. The Sopho-
more Slump starts here.
The social scene also changes form from
freshman to sophomore year. Partying at
same as when you are a freshman. Back then,
every person was new and every event was
a fresh experience.
Another factor contributing to the Sopho-
more Slump is that you are still living on
campus. Let's face it, campus dorms may be
for some people, but by the time you have
been there for a year they lose their "away
from home" luster. You may have to travel
two or three flights of stairs to get to a bath-
room not covered with puke from some
freshman's bad night. You have to go to the
DC, too. It's quantity, but not quality. Cam-
pus living is fine when you are freshman. It
gives you a chance to meet some people and
find your niche, but soon after your fresh-
man year, you really want to expand your
view in accommodations.
For the most part, Sophomore Slump
just consists of a great deal of waiting. You
find yourself waiting to get into your first
apartment, waiting to take your first real
class, and waiting to turn 21 and go uptown.
However, after the sophomore year, it all
gets better, or at least it should.
-by Dan Fulton
UMass is always fun, if you go in with the
right attitude. However, with classes having
started the Slump, partying sometimes be-
comes a chore. Having to take a bus as
crowded as a Tokyo subway at rush hour, to
get to a party more crowded, at which it takes
ten hours to get a drink, is sometimes hard to
get psyched for. There is always a chance to
meet a significant other, but a lot of people
have boyfriends or girlfriends so you have to
be careful. Overall, partying is just not the

"Don't forget to pay your phone bill on
time," my father says.
"I knoooooow!" I answer annoyed and
frustrated.
"Will you call on Wednesday?"
"Don't I always?" I ask again, aggra-
vated.
Sometimes I wish my parents would
leave me alone. They often remind me to do
things I've already done or say things I've
already said. Most of the time I wonder if
they realize that I'm 19, a sophomore in
college, and 200 miles from home.
When I was a freshman I spoke to my
parents three times a week for about ten
minutes each time. I told them most of the
details of my life; leaving out the things
parents don't need to know about. I was
happy with that arrangement. I often looked
forward to calling them, particularly on Sun-
day when the pangs of homesickness started
to sink in. But things have changed.
I am no longer that scared, homesick
freshman. As a sophomore I have gained a
better understanding of my surroundings;
they no longer overwhelm me, now they
comfort me. Now I speak with my parents
Away
I shared a lot of things with them they had
never known before. I felt that they were
finally starting to respect me as a person and
as their adult equal. I thought relations had
finally changed between us. But when I re-
turned to school everything went back to the
way it had been. My parents expected me to
call often and tell them everything. They
expected more than a letter a month. They
expected me to still be that little girl in pig-
tails and braces.
I am sitting alone in my room when the
phone rings. It is my mother. The conversa-
tion begins like all the others, about life in my
town. I quickly think of an excuse to get off
the phone. Just as I am about to say good-bye,
my mother tells me how much it means to
her that we have a good relationship. She
says she can't believe how much I've grown
up. And then she tells me that she's glad
we're friends as well as mother and daugh-
ter. She then goes on to say how she never
had a good relationship with her mother and
once a week, if that, for as little time as
possible.
I don't depend on them for the same
things that I used to. They are my financial
support more than my emotional crutch; my
friends more than my parents. When I have
a problem I know that I have other sources of
support and comfort. I have gained enough
experience to be able to handle things with-
out running to Mom and Dad for advice. I
don't understand why it is so hard for my
parents to let go.
I spent all of last summer alone with my
parents and because of it we became closer.

how she hopes things will be different be-
tween us now that I am an adult.
Suddenly I understand that encourag-
ing me to go to school out-of-state was their
way of letting go. I also realized that it must
have been really difficult for them to wake
up one morning and discover that the house
was empty and their children didn't really
need them anymore. I realize that no matter
what I do or where I go I will always be the
"baby" of the family and that somehow my
parents will always think of me that way. I
understand that a part of them still wants me
to be a child. Actually a part of me does also.

Nicotine, the Addict, and the Enjoyment:
SMOKER'S SIDE.
The Prohibition is back! First it was the
war against alcohol in the roaring '20s and
now it is smoking in the '90s. Smoking is a
timeless American Classic, just like Mom's
apple pie and baseball. Humphrey Bogart
always had his debonair cigarette in the cor-
ner of his mouth; Fred Flinstone endorsed
Winston cigarettes in the '60s; Virginia Slims
grasped the Women's Movement with their
catchy ads showing the rebellious female
smoking; the Phillip Morris Company en-
dorsed and funded part of the birth-
day celebration of the Constitution of
the United States; the American
farmer tends his acres of tobacco,
dreaming the American Dream; and
the several cents given back to the
government every time a smoker buys
a pack; it couldn't be a bigger piece of
Americana. Everyone is aware of the
side effects and risks that are associated
with smoking, but I guess that's part of
the excitement, wondering if it is true what
they say about every cigarette being seven
minutes of the life. The little white boxes on
the side of each pack with a grim message
from the Surgeon General tells of the poten-
tial hazards, but it comes down to the fact
that it is the smoker's personal choice whether
or not to risk death.
It has been brought to the greater public 's
attention that second-hand smoke may cause
cancer and other fun, but deadly diseases.
All right, fine, just separate those who choose
to from those who choose not to. It seems like
an easy enough thing. The University said
that was easy enough to do, just make every-
body smoke outdoors. Now it seems inevi-
table that a campus-wide outbreak of bron-
chitis is coming. In the snow, sleet, and rain,

THE SERIOUS SOLUTION
ANTI SMOKER'S SIDE.
f you take a look at some of the fa-
■ mous American's who smoke, or
ild I say smoked, like John Wayne,
phrey Bogart, and the Marlboro Man
they all have one thing in
common, they're all
DEAD! They
all have in
common some sort of cancer that killed
them. So cancer is also becoming an
American tradition. Now that second-
smoke has been related to cancer, just
like actually inhaling, this new smoking
ban on campus was needed.
Finally our air is clean. At least in
public buildings. This year at UMass,
smoking was banned in all public build-
ings. This is a serious problem. We non-
smokers are serious, this is war. A war
against smoking and now we have taken
the battle to the Cape Cod Lounge, Cam-
Union, the possible nuclear capability in
North Korea and the Bobbit trial take a
back seat to second-hand smoke.
Non-smokers can't understand smok-
ing. Non-smokers can't understand how
smokers find this new ban on smoking
inside unfair. The ban is not on smoking
itself. We just want our space to be smoke
free. Smoke really only collects indoors.
You never get a smoky outdoors. (Unless
you count the bear.)
If by now you have not been bom-
barded by the studies that give the dan-
m
Herter Halls.
Our main serious concern is sec-
ond-hand smoke. We are serious
about our personal safety. For us
there is nothing more dangerous in
this world than second-hand
smoke. To us the war in Bosnia,
the breakup of the former Soviet
Arctic. It has recently come to light that
smoke doesn't only harm those who
smoke but those who are around lit ciga-
rettes. Second-hand smoke is the reason
for this ban. With this ban, the rights of
non-smokers are restored and the cam-
pus of UMass is a healthier place to be.

Enough i$ Enough!
Since 1988, tuition and fees at the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts at Amherst have
increased 168%, while funding for the Uni-
versity has been drastically cut. These star-
tling discoveries, found by the Student Cen-
ter for Educational Research and Advocacy
(SCERA) and the Student Government As-
sociation (SGA), led to a massive campaign
to not only involve students in the politics of
their own University,
but to bring to the
attention of parents,
friends, and alumni
the dire situation the
school is in.
The Student
Government Asso-
ciation learned of a
proposed seven per-
cent increase that
would lead to an in-
crease in tuition and
fees of between $600
and $1,200. SGA,
backed by many stu-
dent, graduate, and
faculty groups, approached Chancellor
David K. Scott to ask for his support of a plan
for a zero percent increase in tuition and fees.
He refused and students, much like those of
the 60's and 70's, wanted to show the admin-
istration, legislators, and other universities
that students of UMass were not going to
accept this financial war against them. Over
100 students risked expulsion, being jailed,
and frost-bite as they stormed the Admis-
sions building, calling for the Administra-
tion to support its students. After many gru-
eling hours, Chancellor Scott signed an agree-
ment that said that he would support the
zero percent increase plan.
Some months later, the Higher Educa-
tion Coordinating Council voted to suspend
the increases in tuition at state and commu-
nity colleges and universities, which was a
milestone as it was the first time in many
years that this council recognized the finan-
cial strains that students are enduring to stay
in school.
However, the Board of Trustees voted
for a four percent increase in fees to compen-
sate for the fact that tuition was not increas-
ing. There is one stipulation to the agree-
ment. The fee increase will be rolled back
provided that the State is to increase funding
by seven percent to the UMass system.
The House and Senate Ways and Means
Committee, which writes the state budget,
will vote on the proposed increase in July.
SCERA and SGA representatives have met
with the Representatives and Senators to
discuss higher education and funding for the
largest university system in Massachusetts,
UMass. With mixed results, time will tell if
UMass- Amherst will creep and steal the num-
ber one position away from the University of
Vermont for being the most expensive state
university in the country.
If all fails, at least the plights of students
were heard this year in the State House. Also,
with the reinstatement of SCERA, students
will continue to have a voice in state govern-
ment that they can use to defend their wal-
lets.

A Break from Reality
ust as the pressures of the world
start to hit you all at once, when
your vision is so blurred from staring night
after night at the text books, when you
look in the mirror and see a few more grey
hairs brought on by the hard-core pres-
sure of all those exams, there is a light at
the end of the tunnel: SPRING BREAK!
I gathered all the essentials (tooth-
brush, cologne, sunglasses, credit cards,
condoms) to prepare myself for my much
needed break, but where do I go. For many,
home is a piece of paradise that can rem-
edy the ailments of being overworked,
however the thought of going home
seemed more stressful than being at school.
"Go south," was all that came out some
of friends mouths as they piled 35 deep
into their cars. No way, too many people,
too long of a ride, plus I'm short a few
months of being 21.
As I pondered the possibilities that sat
in front of me, I thought of our friendly
neighbors to the north. But what is there in
Canada? Montreal!
There we were, at the train station in
Amherst at 2 a.m., snow falling, winds
howling, exhausted and miserable. I felt
that we had truly made a horrible mistake.
After the grueling eight hour train ride, I
still wasn't sure if it was a good idea.
Montreal was like Amherst, but colder.
"Why am I here?" I thought to myself. But
I quickly warmed up to the idea as we ran
to Hurley's Pub after finding our hotel.
The five of us (Sam, Kerry, Jean, Lisa, and
myself: their names have been changed to
protect the innocent) rejoiced as we par-
took in our first legal beers. Ah, this was
relaxing!
We ventured out onto the town going
to the legendary Peel Pub where spirits
were high and the food was cheap. We ate
and drank and drank some more. By the
end of the week, we had patronized it so
much that the waiters and bouncer knew
us. It was the Canadian version Cheers.
Things began to look up now.
The five of us ran to another great
place called Sharp Shooter's where the
owner would greet us just as Norm was on
Cheers. We went every night and our new
friend Fady made us honorary staff mem-
bers by presenting us with staff shirts.
However, even though we all made
friends everywhere, some of us made
friends a little too easy as Kerry, Sam, Jean,
Lisa and myself found out. Our first night
out on the town, Kerry somehow had ac-
quired a strange little admirer who would
not leave. Sam and I took care of him and
we did not see him again until our last
night, but that's another story. I met a
rather drunk gentleman who didn't like
Americans and told me "II knnoef hoowf
too box!" The people were friendly as Lisa
found as some strange man tried to give
her his keys many times. Sam and Jean
were found in the bathtub on more than
one occasion. I really don't want to know
what was going on.
On our last night, it seemed that all our
instances with the friendly northern neigh-
bors condensed into one night. Kerry some-
how acquired the admirer from the first
night, as well as another tall dark stranger
who said "call collect." She also attacked
me as I sat at the bar. Speaking of being
attacked, Jean was a little grabby which led
to a beer shower as Sam jumped up in
sudden terror. The night ended as we all
wentback to laugh throughout the night at
the occurrences of the week.
Overall, the best description I can think
of for my voyage is drunk. 11 shots is a
rough way to start a night. Now that I've
been back in Amherst for several hours, I
wonder if I enjoyed this voyage too much.
Now I have to decide whether it is time to
start back the grindstone or time to call the
Betty Ford Clinic.

Alpha Phi Omega, a community service
fraternity, was introduced to the UMass cam-
pus in 1952 by student E.G. Warner. It was
adopted as an all male club and began its
service by building a bridge across a stream
where the School of Management now stands.
Within the next few decades, it has become a
fraternity to create a more cohesive and dedi-
cated sense of community and has made
itself co-ed by offering the opportunity for
membership to all.
APO employs its 30 active members to
various services both on campus and
throughout the community. On campus, their
service includes volunteering at the annual
bike registration, helping in the blood drive,
as well as sponsoring Las Vegas Night which
is a mock casino that donates the profits to
needy organizations. APO lends a hand off-
campus by helping patients at the Helen
Mitchell Recovery Center and other such
hospitals and raking leaves for the elderly.
The members of APO feel that the en-
ergy and time they spend helping people in
the community is completely worthwhile
and even helps improve themselves. Ining
Hsu, a junior who is a member of the frater-
nity said, "All the experience volunteering in
APO has given me the opportunity to help
others and improve my communication skills
and leadership abilities."
In an age where the need for help is
steadily increasing, Alpha Phi Omega is ris-
ing to meet the challenge through its many
fund-raisers and service actions, helping the
community while learning new skills to bet-
ter themselves.

The Agony of Being Underage
£ t is Thursday and on the UMass campus
that signals the time to start the drinking
festivities that mark the beginning of the
weekend. Your friends begin getting dressed
to go uptown as screams of joy echo across
campus from the over-stressed students get-
ting psyched to again push their alcohol
consumption records to the limits. But there
is one problem in all of this: you are not 21.
Being "legal" does not matter in the early
years at UMass because there is always some-
one willing to buy for minors and there are
countless parties around that have endless
amounts of beer. However, as you reach
your third and fourth years in Amherst and
you begin to tire slightly of the party scene,
the bar scene begins to look more and more
desirable. What could be better than the
thought of you, on a bar stool with beer in
hand, gazing over a dim, smoky bar full of
people and hanging out with your peers (or
not) at your own leisure? Whether you are
playing pool or spilling your heart out to an
unsympathetic bartender, the more "mature"
atmosphere of local bars is much more ap-
pealing to upperclassmen who have tired of
the over-crowded freshmen filled parties
around campus. For those who have not yet

reached the golden age, it is agony to watch
your older friends go and close out all the
Amherst pubs as you are forced to hang out
with all the underage people on campus.
Of course you can always attempt to try
to pass for 21 so you can be with your friends,
but that hardly ever works. How many times
have those underage tried, in desperation, to
find a way into a bar. I look older, don't I?
Sure your brother's friend's cousin's sister's
ID looks exactly like me. Of course it doesn't
look as if you whited out your birth date. But
local drinking establishments are stricter and
smarter than most students suspect and very
few underage people are able to pass the
strict security that guards the entrances. Even
Pearl Street, Northampton's popular dance
club, has incredibly tight security and re-
fuses to let anyone in who's under twenty-
one to many of their live shows.
It's a no win situation the underage up-
perclassmen face when all their friends have
reached the legal mark that they won't reach
for many weeks, or months. These agonized
souls console themselves with nights spent
in a bottle of liquor bought by a friend, curs-
ing their parents who had them too late.

future. What is the working world really

the environment you will someday work in
and provides a very interesting "hands-on"
education that you can not get at school.
Internships and Independent Studies are
great ways of getting valuable training and
experience in your field. An intern is hired
into a firm through their school, sometimes
for wages and /or credit, and works along
with professional employees using the skills
that they have learned in school. Sometimes
they act as gophers, doing various errands
for the employees that get them involved in
many activities of the office. Other times they
are assigned to work together with profes-
sionals on the projects they are doing. No
matter what the job, interns come out of the
experience with not only a good feel for the
workplace and a new sense of perspective on
their major but also with excellent creden-
tials to display on their resume.
And it is not hard to find an interesting
internship either. Mather Career Center, lo-
cated off of East Pleasant Street behind Or-
chard Hill, offers a wide variety of intern-
ships to students who are interested. From
MTV to the Boston Globe, students can apply
to a wide range of available positions. Stu-
dents can also talk with their advisors to get
contacts and potential job opportunities, or
look for posted bulletins around campus.
Junior year is the perfect time to seize control
of your life and apply what are studying in
the real world. Internships have proven to be
a great way to come out ahead.

NOW!" This is always a great way to start
your day. Then, when you ask them to hold
on for a minute, the worst response from the
resident is, "Well aren't you being paid to do
this?" Again, it comes down to the fact that
we don't get paid enough!
Despite all of the trials and tribulations
of being "an RA" I've really come to like this
job. The staffs of RAs are great bunches of
people. We thoroughly enjoy going on rounds
together and hanging out in the cluster office
with each other. I've also gotten a chance to
help shape a floor into a community and
have met a great deal of interesting people
from all over the world. Through being an
RA I've a learned a lot about the ways people
work and think. I've even gotten used to
being known as "Wendy the RA."

Senior Picnic
On May 20, 1994, members of the senior
class, came together for one last hurrah on the
Metawampe lawn outside the Hatch. The Senior
Picnic was put on for this year's seniors by the
Alumni Association and drew a good size crowd,
preparing to venture into the world of indepen-
dence, careers, and health insurance.
The local radio station, WRNX, provided
music, contests and some old favorite picnic fun.
Seniors participated in activities that allowed them
to be young just once more. The DJ of WRNX
hosted a very strict game of "Simon Says" in
which half of the group was eliminated in the first
minute. The true direction followers, otherwise
known as the people who weren't caught moving
before hearing the "simon says" hail of freedom,
remained in the end and won prizes from the
radio station.
Activities for the members of the class who
felt like they never truly came out of their shells in
college were also provided. A DJ with a Karaoke
machine was offering seniors the opportunity to
publicly mutilate their favorite songs. Many se-
niors tried their voices on old favorites like "Wel-
come to the Jungle," originally by Guns N' Roses
and "Down Under," originally by Men at Work.
Although no one was approached with offers of
record deals, students found themselves surprised
at their peers' talent, or lack thereof.
Others preferred the good old sports stand-
bys. Frisbees flew across the lawn and the volley-
ball court was never idle. Seniors also enjoyed the
teamwork of a wheelbarrow race.
In the end, some saw the picnic as a re-
minder of how large UMass is. "There are people
here that I've wanted to hang around with but
never got the chance to," claimed one student,
"but now it seems we've come to the end of the
line." Some said that they enjoyed seeing people
that they hadn't seen since freshman orientation.
They felt it was a blast from the past of sorts and
interesting to see how people who started out in
the same place had evolved.

Food seems to be an obsession for the stu-
dents at all universities in the United States, UMass
being no exception. College students love food,
why shouldn't they with all the different options
that are presented to them. Amherst is the home
to hundreds of excellent restaurants, giving the
Dining Commons a run for their money.
This year, UMass Food Services planned a
grand gala event at the Mullins Center for all
students on the meal plan. Each student was
issued a pack of their very own coupons, good for
one of each item that was being offered . The menu
was centered around the different areas of the
United States (New England, Midwest, South)
and their unique cuisine. For example, the New
England menu included New England Clam
Chowder. Some of the highlights were the South-
ern Mesquite Barbecued Chicken, New York Style
Pizza from Antonio's, Chicago Style Pizza from
Pizzeria Uno, Maine and Idaho Potatoes,
Friendly's Sundae Cups, Philadelphia Cheese
Steaks, Southern Catfish Fingers, and many other
delicious treats. There was also entertainment
that included a man on stilts that juggled, a band,
and a raffle.
The Mullins Center was packed, reminding
many of a concert or basketball game. The floor
and stands quickly became the dumping grounds
for many left-overs from this fine feast. As the
event came to an end, many left wondering why
the Dining Commons couldn't feed us like that
every day.
Other excuses for UMass students to pig
out are the outdoor pic-
nics held by each resi-
dential area. Each area
puts together an event
that brings residents
out for food and good
times. Northeast Area
Day was called "The
Northeast Pig-Out."
The Sylvan Area held
their festivities with a
complete barbecue, in-
cluding a band. Or-
chard Hill, once again,
filled their Bowl with a
giant party, featuring
an outdoor movie and
enough food to feed a
small country. South-
west week went off
with a bang again this
year with a great deal
of food consumption
and good times to
spare.
There seems to be
a trend. Take some
UMass students, add
food, and the outcome is an event that will not be
forgotten. Food, friends and fun go hand in hand.

, four livebands, a multi-media exhibit of
Basketball Hall of Fame, media person-
es, Dorothy and Toto, and a free car all
e together one weekend at UMass to

of Haigis Hoopla allowed unlimited team

Haigis Hoopla has grown over the years
more of a community oriented media
at as well as an informal competition
>ng students and basketball fans. This
", a media division featured local televi-
i and newspaper personalities, including
jam of players from the Daily Hampshire
ette staff.
This year's Hoopla was organized by 30
Sports Management students who were en-
rolled in an Event Management course. One
example of the change they made was ob-
taining an unprecedented number of basket-
ball hoops, which allowed them to register so
many teams and manage as many as sixteen
games at a time. The students also success-
fully used Haigis Hoopla to combine UMass
life with Amherst town community life.
Students who attended the festivities no-
ticed the change as well. Jason Govostes
described this year as "different, because it's
more community oriented."
The students behind the scenes had a fun
learning experience. "It's been fantastic in
terms of getting hands-on experience plan-
ning a major sports event," said Rebecca
Songer, one of the Sports Management orga-
nizers.
The Event Management class got together

Kristen Rountree, who has attended for

only times students of UMass and Amherst
residents get together just to have fun. The
warm weather makes Haigis Hoopla fun for

Haigis Hoopla turns the spectator sport of
UMass hoop in the Mullins Center into an
athletic event for all of the fans.

Mud, Mud, Mud
and Music
It wasn't the sunniest of days. It wasn't
the warmest of days. But it was one of the
best days at UMass. On May 8, 1994, Univer-
sity Productions and Concerts put on their
annual Spring Concert. The music for this
occasion was provided for by the Violent
Femmes, Buffalo Tom, Black Uhuru, Taj
Mahal and Synaesthesia. The day was not for
the bands or the crew of UPC who set up the
concert, it was for the students of UMass.
For the security and stage crew, the pro-
duction process started about four days be-
fore the concert. From that Thursday until
the moment the first band hit the stage, the
UPC crews put up fencing, carried pieces of
steel and aluminum to build the stage with,
and stayed long hours helping to get every-
thing ready.
It rained the morning of the concert and
it wasn't as warm as Maui, which caused the
hard-working UPC staff to worry about the
attendance. At about 1 1 :00 a.m., Synaesthesia
went on with their mix of funk, jazz, and
rock. They satisfied the small crowd and
eventually, people began to flock to the pond
in droves to dance and have a good time.
They played for at least an hour to everyone's
joy, especially the contingent from
Butterfield.
Taj Mahal took to the stage soon after.
He didn't play the blues, because blues is
something you feel. He was the blues. Taj, a
UMass alumnus, drew an even larger crowd
that eventually (continued on p. 200)

house with a stellar closing performance at Spring

Taj played for another hour while the crowd
grooved to the blues. Taj Mahal was wel-
comed back later in the concert when he did
an impromptu jam with the Violent Femmes
that will go down in the history books as one
of the finest musical moments at UMass.
Buffalo Tom, also UMass alumni, took to
the stage. Buffalo Tom rocked the crowd and
many people said that they were the best
they heard at Spring Concert. They opened
with "Birdbrain" an older song off their first
album. During a short respite, Buffalo Tom's
lead singer Bill Janovitz told the crowd how
the band formed up at the Top of the Campus
Lounge here on campus. Unfortunately, Bill
Janovitz lost his voice during their perfor-
mance and had to cut his portion of the show
a little short, much to the dismay of the
crowd.
The next to step up into the limelight at
Spring Concert was the reggae band Black
Uhuru. They brought warm tunes and beats
to the now wet and muddy crowd, transport-
ing the crowd to a warm Caribbean Island.
Black Uhuru drew the entire ocean of stu-
dents into their festive spirited music and
made the drear of the day fade away.
It was at about this time that the mud bog
wrestling began. People decided to make the
nice lawn look like the Mullins Center dur-
ing a monster truck show. All were wet and
muddy, but at least a good time was had.
For the concert's Grand Finally, the Vio-
lent Femmes jumped up on stage. They per-
formed a range of their music from their long
career. They played favorite old songs like,
"Add it up" and "Blister in the Sun" with a
few of their new songs from the up-and-
coming album. The crowd erupted as the
band played on in the mist and mud. Crowd
surfing was at a new all time high and in
combination with the incredible jams, the
muddy and wet students were in bliss.
By dark everyone was out of the concert
area and at their respective parties, remem-
bering our own version of the muddy
Woodstock.

In the Drink
Spring and Summer. Hardest hit were Illi-
nois, Iowa, and Missouri, causing billions of
dollars worth of damage. The Illinois, Missis-
sippi, and Missouri Rivers poured water over
streets, residents, and industrial parks; submerg-
ing anything in their wake. Thousands of homes,
farms, and businesses were destroyed or dam-
aged.
Slowly, the victims began to piece together
what was left of their lives. Many people left,
deciding it was time to move on to a safer and drier
part of the country. Others chose to salvage what
was left of their dignities and stay to fight the
raging waters.
Rehabilitation began soon after the waters
started to recede. President Clinton signed a $5.7
million aid package to help the victims start over
again. Local state governments directed their
people in safety precautions. New building stan-
dards were enforced, stating that buildings had to
be a safe distance away from the river. Sandbag
barriers were set up to prevent the river from
flowing towards houses or schools, but many
times even these could not stop the river's wrath.
Dozens of levees were ravaged, sandbag traps
were quickly washed away, and diversion be-
came impossible because of the vastness of the
Mississippi.
The flood left thousands homeless, hundreds
dead, and thousands of businesses and industries
bankrupt. Since the waters receded, rainfall has
been a lot less inundating but for the people who
lived through it, a little rain can be a harrowing

Olympic Drama
Those eagerly awaiting the 1994 Winter
Olympics were shocked on January 6, 1 994, upon
hearing that American ice skating hopeful Nancy
Kerrigan had been clubbed in the knee by three
men while practicing at Detroit's Cobo Arena.
The 24-year-old 1992 bronze medalist from
Stoneham, Massachusetts was shown on national
television crying "Why me?" and clutching her
wounded knee later that afternoon. At the time,
there were no named suspects in the attack.
Because of her injury, Kerrigan was unable
to compete in the pre-Olympic nationals that
weekend, but after some deliberation was named
to the U.S. team by the U.S. Figure Skating
Association. Also named to the team was U.S.
National Championship winner Tonya Harding.
Kerrigan, meanwhile, made steady recovery on
her injury and was back on the ice within two
weeks.
The rivalry between Kerrigan and Harding
dated back to 1991, when Harding won the na-
tional figure skating title over Kerrigan and Kristi
Yamaguchi.
This rivalry became more evident when,
shortly before the Olympics in February, Harding
came forward and admitted that she did know of
the plot to attack Kerrigan, but didn't have any
part in the plot. Despite this, she was permitted to
compete in the Lillehammer Olympics.
The Winter Olympic Games took place in
Lillehammer, Norway this year. It was the most
watched Winter Olympics in history, partly be-
cause of the Harding-Kerrigan soap opera. No
one will be able forget the emotion of Bonnie
Blair's multi-victories, Dan Jantzen's victory lap
with baby in hand, Tonya Harding's crying fit
during competition as her skate laces broke, or
Nancy Kerrigan' s near flawless performance. The
Opening and Closing Ceremonies were dedicated
to the people of the former Yugoslavia, which
once held the Winter Olympics in its lavish city of
Sarajevo.
Kerrigan recovered and went on to win the
silver medal in the Olympics, placing second to
Oksana Baiul of the Ukraine. Harding didn't fare
as well, placing tenth in the competition.

On April 8, 1994 Kurt Cobain, the lead
singer of the grunge-rock band Nirvana, was
found dead in his apartment, the victim of a
self-inflicted gunshot wound. A lengthy sui-
cide note was found nearby. Cobain was
known to be addicted to heroin, which along
with Valium, was found in his bloodstream
after his death. A month earlier, Cobain had
overdosed on Valium and champagne in
Italy and was comatose for several days.
Known as "the band of the 90's", Nir-

Irony abounded as the father of horror,
Vincent Price, died on Halloween. The actor
starred in several movies and portrayed an
array of characters. In Angel Street he played
the crazed husband, in Theatre of Blood he
electrocuted Coral Browne, and in House of
Wax he starred as a deranged museum owner.
Most recently, he cameoed as Johnny Depp's
Dr. Frankenstein in Edward Scissorhands. He
continued acting until his death at 82.
Frank Zappa, the father of satirical al-
bums like Uncle Meat and Weasel's Ripped
My Flesh, died on December 4 at the age of 52.
Even chemotherapy and morphine treatment
couldn't keep Zappa from making music. He
completed Civilization, Phase III, before his
death. He left behind his wife of 26 years,
four children, and a legacy of over 60 albums.
Old and young alike were saddened by
the loss of George "Spanky" McFarland.
The actor got his start in movies but is prob-
ably best known for his role as Spanky in the
Our Gang series, from which he retired at 10.
Between 1932 and 1938 he made 84
films before retiring and later serving in the
Air Force. He spent the rest of his career as a
salesman. He was 64 when he died, still as
chubby as the little boy the America fell in
love with so many years before.

entire afternoon on the couch, casting fishing
lines out the window. They hang, upside down,

They're Beavis and Butt-head, MTV's duo
of moronic, ambitionless cartoon adolescents,
whose days revolve around sitting in front of the
television rating music videos, in most cases
saying "This sucks," or, if a video contains vio-
lence, mutilation or destruction, saying "This is
cool." Their show, featured every night at 7:00
and 11:00, had young people all over America
imitating their idiotic laughter. "Heh,heh.
Huh.huh. Heh.heh."
Not everybody was laughing, however, when
last fall a five-year-old boy burned his house
down and killed his two-year-old sister. His
mother blamed the cartoon characters, whose
chants of "Fire, fire, fire!" while playing with a
cigarette lighter allegedly influenced her son to
play with matches. As a result, Beavis and Butt-
head were prohibited from making further refer-
ences to fire, and the show was moved from 7:00
to 10:30 p.m., allowing a full hour for the two to
make rude noises and condemn anything useful
or good in society.
Despite its critics, "Beavis and Butt-head"
continues to air on MTV. Many Americans,
young and some not-so-young, look to the show
to provide an hour of escape from any seriousness
that society may impose on them.

Shake It Up Baby
Millions of Californians awoke with a jolt
around 4:3 1 on the morning of January 17, when
an earthquake struck the Northridge area of the
San Fernando Valley, 20 miles northwest of Los
Angeles.
Over 60 people were killed, and vast amounts
of damage occurred as a result of the quake, which
measured 6.6 on the Richter scale. Among those
killed were a 46-year-old police officer who lost
control of his motorcycle and fell off a ramp that
collapsed onto Interstate 5; several who died of
heart attacks as a result of the quake; and over a
dozen who died in an apartment building collapse
in Northridge. Two people were also killed in a
hillside home collapse in Sherman Oaks.
Police and city authorities speculated that the
death toll could have reached hundreds or even
thousands had there been more people on the road
when the quake struck. Due to the Martin Luther
King holiday, however, few people were up at
that early hour.
The quake was not California's strongest in
terms of numbers on a scale, but was by far the
most destructive due to the high population den-
sity of the area. Many highways were damaged,
and repairs were estimated to take up a year.
Many streets were flooded, and traffic lights were
knocked out everywhere, resulting in many car
accidents.
Thousands of people were left homeless as
their homes were destroyed by either fire or
collapse. Many others who were lucky enough to
have their homes still standing suffered the dam-
age of valuable possessions.
The last big earthquake to hit the area took
place in June 1992, in nearby Landers, east of Los
Angeles. The quake measured 7.5, and was fol-
lowed several hours later by a 6.6 quake in the Big
Bear area. California is home to many earth-
quakes because it lies on the San Andreas Fault,
where two continental plates meet and push against
each other along the coast.
Fans from coast to coast were shocked
when, last Halloween, actor River Phoenix
died of a cocaine and heroin overdose out-
side the Viper Room in Los Angeles. The 23
year-old accomplished actor began his rise
to stardom in 1986 as the tough and trashy
Chris Chambers in "Stand By Me". From
there he portrayed a brutalized boy in "The
Mosquito Coast" and won an Oscar nomina-
tion for "Running on Empty", as the son of
fugitive radicals in the 1960's. In "My Own
Private Idaho" he professes his love to Keanu
Reeves with complete conviction. Ironically,
Phoenix's character in Idaho , a epileptic, who
convulses and collapses in the streets, is a
flinching reminder of his last moments on
the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room.
Cesar Chavez was a man with a mis-
sion. He decided to set his people free. In-
spired by Ghandhi, Chavez founded the
United Farm Workers Commission and de-
clared peaceful war on the corporate giants
that dominated the Western farming world.
He organized marches, staged strikes, and
fasted; sometimes for as long as 25 days. He
never cared about recognition, he just wanted
small personal victories that would change
the farming and migrant working conditions
for the better. After his death at 66, the world
honored a man who had put his life on the
line in exchange for civil rights and respect
for mankind.
AIDS claimed another victim of the

Ballet. In 1961, he defected to the West and
transformed the world's notion of the typical
male soloist. He later became a permanent
addition to Britain's Royal Ballet where his
partners included Dame Margot Fonteyn.
He was a man of immense grace, extreme
talent, and became one of the greatest Rus-
sian dancers of all time. He was the epitome

Pat Nixon, the silent partner of former
President Richard Nixon, died on June 22, at
the age of 81. She was the first First Lady to
visit a combat zone, the first to say abortion
in terms of a 'pro-choice' reference, and the
first to publicly call for a woman on the
Supreme Court. Flags all over the country
were flown at half mast for her husband,
Richard, who died in April after being in a
coma for three days. Both funerals took place
at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, Califor-

and only man to resign as President of the
United States had been written.
On July 2, 66 year old Fred Gwynne
died of pancreatic cancer. He is best remem-
bered for his role as Herman Munster in The
Ministers. But Gwynne's career was about
more then greasepaint and neckbolts. From
1961-1963 he was Officer Francis Muldoon in
"Car 54, where are you?." He was also a fine
dramatic actor as he demonstrated as Big
Daddy in the 1974 Broadway production of
Cat on a Hot Tine Roof. His last role was as the
grouchy judge in last year's My Cousin Vinny.
Perhaps the most famous lawyer on
television was the dauntless Perry Mason.
Raymond Burr, the slightly overweight and
extremely convincing actor, died at the age
of 76 in 1993. After Perry Mason, Burr went
on to portray the wheelchair-bound detec-

that he had to make public appearances to
prove he could still walk. However, art be-

confined him to a wheelchair. Cancer was
the one battle he couldn't win.
In April of 1993 the opera world lost
one of their greatest and most talented
women. Marian Anderson's rise to the top
began slowly. She was rejected by a music
school, denied singing jobs, and couldn't get
a hotel room in Atlantic City — even after she
was awarded the key to the city. Her most
memorable performance occurred in 1939 on
the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, after the
Daughters of the American revolution re-
fused to let her sing in Constitution Hall.
Anderson died at 96, and will be remem-
bered as more than a sensational singer. She
helped to give other African American
women a role model. "You lose a lot of time
hating people," she said. "Other Negroes
will have the career I dreamed of."
Rest Insured
In September, President Clinton unveiled his
long-awaited plan for universal health care. After
extensive research on insurance costs and ben-
efits, the White House task force, chaired by First
Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, devised the health
security plan. The proposal called for employers
to pay 80 percent of their workers' average health-
care premiums; the remainder would be paid by
the employees. The plan would cost the federal
government an extra $350 billion over the next
five years. In order to fund the program, Clinton
planned to hold down Medicaid and Medicare,
boost cigarette taxes, and impose a special levy on
corporations that set up their own health plans.
While the national health care bill has received
praise from many, it also faces widespread oppo-
sition from Americans who fear that the plan will
limit their freedom to choose which doctors they
can use. Leading the opposition are Republican
Senator Bob Dole of Kansas and conservative
radio talk-jock Rush Limbaugh, who are both
highly critical of the President's health plan.

The Leader of
the Pack
Since leaving NBC to work for CBS, David
tterman has become the new king of the late
;ht. His new talk show, Late Show with David
tterman, began the the war of the late night
)ws, scheduled opposite the long-time favor-
, The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno. CBS
sily won Letterman over, outbidding NBC's
'ered salary by millions, and rebuilt the old Ed
llivan Theater on Broadway to accomodate
tterman' s wishes to remain in New York,
tterman' s wacky gimmicks and famous Top
n lists have continued to boost his ratings
stly, and the nightly reports from the Winter
ympics by Dave's Mom, Dorothy Letterman,
ly increased his popularity.
Letterman, Leno, and NBC s Conan O'Brien
ve been able to survive the ratings game —
)se not faring as well include Chevy Chase,
lose painfully lame talk show was cancelled by
x after only six weeks, and Arsenio Hall, who
lied it quits at the end of the season.
The Unkindest Cut
Men everywhere realized their most horrify-
ing nightmare when they heard of Lorena Bobbitt,
who made national headlines last June when she
cut off her husband's penis after he allegedly
raped her.
Bobbitt, a 24-year-old manicurist, told po-
lice that on the night of June 23rd, she was asleep
in their Manassis.Virginia apartment when her
husband, John, returned from a night of drinking
with his friends. According to Lorena, her hus-
band woke her up and forced her to have sex with
him, despite her protests, then fell asleep. She
went to the kitchen for a glass of water and spotted
a kitchen knife, which she used to cut off her
husband's penis as he slept. With the severed
organ in her hand, she fled the apartment and
drove off in her car, throwing the organ out the
window into an empty lot.
Lorena then called the police, who retrieved
the organ. John, meanwhile, had rushed to a
nearby hospital, where doctors reattached the
organ in a nine-and-a -half hour operation.
After the incident, Lorena Bobbitt told au-
thorities that this was not the first time he had
done this during their four-year marriage. She
also said that he had hit her and verbally abused
her in the past. John denied the allegations.
John Bobbitt was charged with "marital sexual
assault;" his wife, with "malicious wounding." In
November, a jury of nine women and three men
acquitted John Bobbitt of the marital sexual as-
sault charge. In January, Lorena was found not
guilty on the basis of insanity. She was, however,
required to spend time in a psychiatric hospital.
With the Bobbitt case came nationwide con-
troversy. Many women claim that John Bobbitt
got what he deserved, that Lorena' s only mistake
was not completely destroying the organ. Many
others, however, feel that there was no excuse for
Lorena' s actions, that she had opportunities to
leave the marriage if it was so bad. The case has
also been subject to many jokes, such as a T-shirt
reading "Manassis, Virginia — A Cut Above the
Rest," and probably more than a few nightmares.
Whatever your opinion, the Bobbitt case will
certainly shed new light on the issue of marital
rape.
OBITUARIES
On May 19, 1994, Jacqueline Bouvier
Kennedy Onassis died in her New York City
apartment. Outside her apartment people
gathered to honor the memory of a remark-
able lady.
A First Lady, business woman, wife,
mother, and grandmother, Jackie gave the
United States a taste of elegance. During the
time she was the First Lady, she brought
style and taste to the White House so it
would be a place of grace. During the time
after JFK's death, she acted with a quiet sense
of dignity that made the people of the United
States feel strong.
July found the Clintons mourning the
death of attorney Vince Foster Jr. The 48 year
old father of three was found dead on July 20,
in a Virginia park. A Smith and Wesson .38
lay beside the body. The exact reason for the
suicide is unknown, although it is specu-
lated that he may have been troubled and
overwhelmed by his power. He and the presi-
dent grew up together in Arkansas, and had
been friends for over 40 years.
This year, polio vaccine pioneer Albert
Sabin passed on. Sabin worked for 24 years
and in 1954 he patented a live-virus oral
vaccine that ensured lifelong immunity. His
vaccine replaced Jonas Salk's killed-virus
version. Until his death at 86 Sabin and Salk
were in constant competition for credit of the
first polio vaccine. Neither man wanted any-
thing more than to combat polio and receive
lifelong honor as the creator of the vaccine.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were shocked
by the death of Hall of Fame Pitcher Don
"Big D" Drysdale on July 2, 1993. Three
times Drysdale led his league in strikeouts,
and his lifetime ERA was a greedy 2.95. His
career spanned 14 seasons, 5 World Series,
and a world record for pitching 58 consecu-
tive innings of scoreless ball that stood for
two decades.
John Wayne Gacy, one of America's
all-time most notorious killers, was sentenced
to die in 1994 in Illinois, where a death pen-
alty had been enacted after he had killed
twenty-one boys.
The total number of those murdered by
Gacy was thirty-three, all of them young
boys. The murders were committed between
1972 and 1978, when Gacy was arrested. In
1980, he was convicted of the 33 murders in
Chicago, more than any other criminal in
U.S. history.

The 1994 Index was produced on a $70,000 budget. Yet, the price we offered to all subscribers was, in the words of many of them,
"cheaper than a high school yearbook. " This was easily achieved through the outstanding support of the following Benefactors, Sponsors
and Patrons. We thank you all very much for your generosity which made this production possible and so successful.

The road we traveled with our 51b.
4oz. football has been soo long and
far too short. Our lives, through
yours, have been enriched on a
level unreachable with words.
Follow your heart to your dreams.
Give of yourself, to yours, as you
have received from yours and, as
with you, the whole is more than a
sum of the parts.
We love you so much,
Mom & Dad
Scott Galbraith

vivid memories. We will re-

for the acres of mud; the body
surfing; the great music, the
thousands and thousands of
students that seemed to form
a single, solid mass. We were
sprawled out on the ground;
we rolled over and across the
euphoric crowd throughout
the show; we soaked in the
melodies of Buffalo Tom, Taj
Mahal and others, oblivious
to the final exams which lin-

HIS YEAR WE AWARDED an hon-
orary degree to Charles
Nirenberg, who attended
UMass and left prematurely to
serve in WWII, earning two
battle stars in European combat.
He returned to graduate from
UMass, and used his experience
and education to evolve a one-
truck ice cream shop into Dairy
Mart, the third largest conve-
nience store chain of its kind in
the U.S. with 12,000 branches.
Nirenberg contributes to the fu-
ture of UMass every year, and
donated a million dollars this
year alone to endow a faculty
chair. He is an example of UMass
success, and how we all can
change our world for the better.

304 CLOSING
From The Editor
Bear with me. Yesterday, I was at work. There I was, inspecting
construction on Long Island's own Meadowbrook Parkway. From
my idling car, I watched as the construction workers put out the
cones for the very simple detour we were setting up for the day. My
plans for this Friday were very simple. I was to work a full day and
then trek up to UMass for one last time to finish the Index. Suddenly,
smoke started billowing from under the hood of my car. I quickly
pulled over only to find that my water pump had seized. This killed
my day. How was I going to inspect construction? How was I going
to make it up to Amherst? And how was I going to get my car off the
Meadowbrook? Nobody told me there'd be days like these. I re-
turned to work, walking the mile-long detour.
Then, a glimmer of hope graced my hopelessness. I got a ride to an
auto parts store and as luck would have it, (luck? what's that?) they
had a water pump for a 1984 Subaru. As lunch approached, I headed
toward my injured steed to install this gleaming, new $40 hydraulic
motivator. When I arrived at milemarker 1078 where I had left it, I
found that another challenge faced me. My right, rear tire had gone
flat. This was it, I thought. I'd never get to Amherst. I'd have to drive
home on a doughnut if I ever got it off the highway, get the tire fixed
and then someday go up to Amherst to finish the Index. This book is
never going to get done.
First things first, I thought. So, I began ripping the wisdom tooth
of a water pump out of my car. By the end of that hour, my vehicle
was once again purring like a kitten and was being fully supported
by its three good tires and one pseudo-tire. Now I could get back to
work in my car, get the tire fixed at a local gas station after work and
then head up to UMass to finish the Index. UMass was going to get
its 304 page chronicle of the 1994 academic year!
The end of this hot day seemed to come in no time. Making sure
that rocks from the pavement cutter aren't flying into some unsus-
pecting beach goer's convertible is a lot easier than dealing with car
troubles. Then, as I came out of the gas station with my repaired
better-than-new tire, I notice the puddle of anti-freeze originating at
my car. I wasn't going anywhere.
But wait! It wasn't a big problem at all. It was a simple hose clamp
that I had forgotten to tighten. So, I put my tire on, tightened the
clamp, grabbed an ice cream down the road and headed for UMass
and I am now sitting next to Wendy who is trying to fit the Index of
the Index on the last eight pages left to complete. The funniest part is
that when I talked to my parents from Amherst, yesterday, it seemed
as if all those problems had not shaved years off my life or even made
my life less rewarding. In fact, I really felt good that after all that
turmoil, all that delay, all that sweat and all those problems lurking
around the superelevated curves of the Meadowbrook Parkway, my
parents thought that my trip had been nothing short of a smooth ride.
Now, assuming you're still reading this, let's talk about this year's
Index. When we returned from our 1993 summer break, we were
short approximately 2 out of 3 editors, we had no office manager, no
theme and no direction. Basically, our water pump was as solid as
dining common pizza. Eventually we got our act together. SGA gave
us a ride to the store to get our new computer, and we started to create
pages with a theme that easily launched us into the fast lane of
yearbook production. Throughout the year, we had many flat tires of
1993 books undelivered, student organizations who couldn't pro-
duce articles or photos of themselves and the usual conflicts that pop
up when people try to work with people.
We eventually fixed it all, (sometimes riding on our doughnuts)
and now I feel obligated to tell you, the reader, that what you are
holding in your hands is not simply a finely polished, well oiled,
smooth running publication that you can just thumb through to get
a sense for what the 1994 student body of UMass was all about.
Instead, I invite you to look carefully at each page. Sit in Bartlett 65
and listen to a professor's lecture on the Equal Rights Amendment.
Stare down a UMass athlete driving for your goal. Feel the pinch in
your bum as you surf over the crowd at a UPC concert. Live the
melancholy bliss of a UMass graduate at Alumni Stadium.
And as you do, know that each page represents the blood, sweat
and tears of 28 of the hardest working group of "mismatched kids"
to ever roam the halls of the Student Union at 3:00 am. Know that
Wendy and Sean were worrying if the Index would ever get done
while many students worried about how they were going to finish
their term papers in time for Beverly Hills 90210. To the entire 1994
Index staff, my hat is off. Everyone did a great job and deserves a pat
on the back. (Free tuition may be a start.) I invite all of you to take
what you have learned with you. I think you'll find that a lot of it
applies to the real world as well.
There were, also some people who helped us out when we were
low on fuel and needed a jump that I would like to thank. To
Margaret, our advisor and Gloria, our graduate advisor, thanks for
all the good advice and for teaching us how to scream and cry
professionally. Thanks to Dave, no middle name, Roth, Sandy Roth
and everyone at Walsworth for working so hard to improve the Index
yet again and for helping us to transform our wild ideas into realities.
To Neil, Amar and the rest of the DaVor family, thanks for all the
photos, mailings and random acts of kindness.
Monday, I will go back to work. I will return, not only knowing
that the product of the 1 994 Index staff is finally complete but also that
my car is running better than ever (knock wood.) I'll remember
everything it took to recrop the photos and tighten the alternator belt,
but it will all seem small compared to the satisfaction of being able
to sit back and say that all of the perseverance and every ounce of
energy expelled has paid off. It couldn't have been done without help
and the same situations will never be repeated. As an Editor-in-Chief
of the Index, one who was allowed to drive this bus, I wish future
Index staffs to have the same year that we had. We were faced with
stuff you can't make up, always bit off more than we could chew and
never made one deadline completely. The product, though, is one
that I feel represents UMass perfectly and looking at the library of
yearbooks atop our filing cabinets, falls right in line with the Index's
own Evolution.

Ode to the 1994 Index Staff
-by Greg Zenon
We had a lot of fun
Getting everything done.
From deciding on a theme
To producing the book from a dream
When our baby Mac went down
We bought the best PowerPC in town.
With Scott at the helm as our E-I-C
He made the Evolution we couldn't help but see.
And organized the staff all year long
From computers to layout, his leadership strong.
In the fall we had Sue, and "Greek" writer Marjorie.
Collegian Matt and Aram also shot photography.
Kerry worked PageMaker like the back of her hand
And Catherine, Troy, Michelle, and Lev all joined the band.
Wendy worked real hard — she managed production crew.
They retaliated, called their lawyers, threatening to sue.
She cracked a whip and everyone with deadlines jumped.
And looked away and did not mind
when copy bunnies thumped.
At every weekly meeting agendas were made
Though our life and job, this is largely unpaid.
Our classes suffered because we never went.
Though our parents' tuition money was spent
Dan's and Mel's office hours were held in the campus bar.
So we knew marketing revenue never went far.
But Marketing Mel showed off what she's got —
Parent ad contributions were by everyone bought.
Enthusiastic team spirit keyed Marc's Copy success.
Never cynical or negative or feeling anything less
Than love and devotion at his Manager's sight.
He bubbled over with cheer — yeah, sure, whatever, right.
Mike was a tall part of a marketing mecca,
Sales skyrocketed, thanks much to Becca.
While Utah Andy penned folios five,
Office "MLE" kept 304 Student Union alive.
Sean tackled the layouts and tried so much more,
Some felt he went too far and sometimes got sore.
His speed and planning made the other editors look slow,
That's all right, he's young, his mind will surely blow.
While Em flew away with the Minuteman team,
Joe shot photos and quelled an Executive scream.
But Em's Index shots made the papers and press
And her quality photos were worth the waiting and stress.

Anita's "Just Added" stories were all over the place
And Kool Kristen's articles graced the rest of the space
The Hill Giant's dedication gave editors a rest.
Her "I" -twin's stellar copy makes the book a seller best

So, as far as Business this year —
well, it's committed no crimes.

What exactly is the Index? The Index is several things. It is a
bunch of mismatched kids trying to get through college who have
time to publish a 300 page book; it is an attempt to capture the life
and essence of a year at UMass; it' s fun and full of life; it' s a book
that can transport the reader back months, years, even centuries.
The Index is produced by a dedicated staff of about 20 that comes
from every corner of this University. It's open to any and all that
want to devote blood, sweat, and tears into producing one of the
best college yearbooks in the country. As an outsider looking in,
it might look peculiar to see a Chemistry major in charge of
production and the creativity of the book. It might look strange to
see the Editor-in-Chief is in the very conservative and linear
major of Engineering. It may also seem strange to find out that the
Layout Editor, who creatively designs the pages, was a Physics
major (we saved him though — he is now a Graphic Design
major). We have an English/Journalism major who is in charge
of our business (once charged by another group for embezzle-
ment) and a Psychology /Sociology major who markets the book
successfully. The Photography Editor who captures the life and
essence of UMass on film, is a Theater/Creative Writing major.
As anyone can see, the Index is an opportunity for everyone to
branch outside of their everyday norms. It' s a chance for the Math
major to become an acclaimed journalist. It's the chance for the
Art major to become a business entrepreneur. This book gives
many people a break from the monotony of their majors, and a
chance to do something totally different from what they are
required to day after day.
The Index staff s purpose is to publish a book that represents not
only the big stories of the of a year, but the less noticed things that
happen, too. We strive to capture the good times, the bad times,
the happy times, the sad times, the victories, the defeats, the
controversies, the resolutions, and everything in between. UMass
is an exciting and mystical little world within itself and it's the
Index strives throughout the year to present it to the reader so that
it may seem that the life and energy of UMass springs out from
between the covers every time the book is opened.
The most important thing that the Index does is capture the year
in words and pictures for generations to come. As we began this
volume, we looked back over 100 years to see a UMass that has
only been seen by a few. We had the opportunity to see faces that
would not recognize this miniature metropolis of today. We were
able to track not only the lives of the students that developed their
minds with education here, but we were able to see the small
farming college develop into a university known for its superb
athletics, state-of-the-art research facilities, and excellent aca-
demics.
We were transported back in time through the efforts of previous
Index staffs. And it is our goal to be the eyes and ears of today for
the future, to show the progression and evolution of UMass.
It wasn't easy, and at times it was nothing but hard work. There
were times when we slept in the office, and times when we
engaged in raucous fun. It became the center point in our lives at
times, and at other times, nothing but a nagging pain. After all the
ups and downs though, we have a 300 page book in our hands that
will survive generations to come, that will bring back all the
memories of UMass, and that will provide some future staff the
opportunity to see UMass as it changed before our eyes.
