Opening  Letter 


From  the  Edi 


The  ninety-five  /  ninety-six  academic 
year,  for  The  American  University, 
was,  in  a  sense,  the  beginning  of  the 
milleniums  end.   Our  University's 
founders  intended  American  to  be  one 
of  the  great  national  universities. 
Since  1896,  when  Bishop  Hurst  broke 
ground  for  Hurst  Hall,  the  university 
has  made  considerable  leaps  toward 
that  goal,  and  continues  improve  for 
the  future. 


A.U. 
Spirit 
is  back 


Not  only  has  the  University  been 
steadily  building  and  expanding 
physically,  but  also  broadening  its 
course  curriculum  to  include 
subjects  taught  no  where  else, 
such  as  Global  Nuclear  Studies. 


American  is  clearly 
focusing  goals  for  the 
new  millenium. 


Unfortunately  in  the  past  few 
years  there  has  been  a  perceived 
lull  in  the  amount  of  pride  a 
student  possessed  at  American.   I 
sense,  and  I  am  not  alone,  that  the 
American  Spirit  has  revived  again.

Visual  Identity 


No  more  "The"  with 


October  twenty-third  the  new  system  of 
logos  used  throughout  the  University  was 
released  with  mixed  response  from  the  student 
population.  The  Eagle  printed  a  story  and 
student  survey  concerning  the  system  Presi- 
dent Ladner  presented  as  a  strong  and  spirited 
representation  of  the  student  body.  Although 
the  Mary  Graydon  survey  was  not  a  random 
student  sampling,  the  poll  indicated  some 
discord.  The  survey  asked  students  questions 
such  as: 

"Should  we  omit  the  "The"  in  our  name 
[from]  university  letterhead,  advertisements 
and  other  image  setting  devices?" 

"Should  we  change  the  official  university 


"The  AU  Logotype  and  Mascot  have  been 
redesigned.  "Do  you  like  it?" 

"Should  AU  students  have  had  a  chance  to 
design  these  two?" 

When  the  Administration  makes  these 
changes  "should  students,  faculty,  staff  and 
alumni  be  consulted?" 


While  the  310  poll  respondents' 
answers  implicated  that  the  Administration 
should  have  handled  the  redesign  differ- 
ently, the  most  important  part  of  the 
system  has  nothing  to  do  with  what  the 
mark,  logo,  or  mascot  look  like.  The  system 
calls  for  the  entire  university  to  adopt  the 
use  of  the  system,  and  follow  the  same 
guidelines.  The  Visual  Identity  Program  was 
put  together  to  strengthen  the  connection 
of  each  department  to  the  university. 


This  "Program" 
provides  marks, 
mascots,  logo- 
types, and  guides 
for  nearly  all 
publications.

President  Ben 

We  are  a  "private  university  with  a  public  mission" 


In  his  first  year  as  president,  beginning  July  '94,  Ladner 
began  to  raise  A.U.'s  profile  as  a  "private  university  with 
a  public  mission"  and  laid  the  groundwork  for  strategic 
planning  through  the  adoption  of  the  university's  "State- 
ment of  Common  Purpose,"  which  will  serve  as  a 
touchstone  for  academic  programming,  campus  life,  and 
facilities  development  for  the  coming  years. 


We  must 
connect 

the  administration, 
faculty,  and  the  student 
body  by  one  common 
identity, 

back  to  the 


He  reorganized  A.U.'s  administrative  structure 
and  assembled  a  new  senior  leadership  team  that 
brought  stability  to  the  upper  level  management  for 
the  first  time  in  five  years.   He  and  his  administra- 
tion completed  a  search  to  fill  seven  presidential 
cabinet  positions,  four  of  which  were  filled  during  a 
national  search.   Robert  Griffith  was  appointed  to 
provost,  Tom  Goodale  to  vice  president  of  student 
services;  Tom  Myers  to  vice  president  of  enrollment 
services,  and  Linda  Nelsonto  vice  president  for 
development.   Ladner  also  appointed  former 
director  of  media  relations,  David  Taylor,  to  the 
position  of  special  assistant  to  the  president. 
Former  administrative  coordinator  in  the 
president's  office,  Margie  Hadsell,  was  promoted  to 
executive  secretary. 

1995-6  was  President  Ladner's  second  terrm. 
At  the  beginning  of  the  year  he  was  interviewed  lor 
the  American  Scene  and  said  that  he  planned  on 
continuing  his  work  toward  creating  a  sense  of 
community  here  at  A.U.   He  feels  that  the  adminis- 
tration, faculty,  and  student  body  of  the  university 
each  have  a  false  identity  of  their  own,  and  are 
completely  removed  from  one  another.  Ladner's 
first  step  for  change,  was  to  implement  a  new 
university  wide  visual  identity  system.  Though  the 
system  was  met  with  some  concernfrom  the  student 
body,  concerning  aspects  such  as  cost  and  aesthet- 
ics, Ladner  was  willing  to  discuss  the  system  on 
various  occasions,  such  aOpen  Mike  Night  in  the 
Tavern.

Triples 


Triples,  dorm  rooms  occupied  by  three  students,  were  yet 
another  outcome  of  American  University's  increased  Freshmen 
acceptance  this  year.  Freshmen  were  first  questioned  on  their  Resi- 
dence Preference  forms  whether  or  not  they  would  object  to  boarding 
with  an  extra  roommate.  The  more  adventurous  of  souls  who  ac- 
cepted the  challenge  were  placed  into  these  triples  with  others  of  the 
same  choice.  Simple  and  painless usually. 

At  times,  the  atmosphere  of  the  room  could  seem  to  all  but 
whisper  the  common  proverb  "Three  is  a  crowd...".  This  can  only  be 
expected  in  a  situation  where  people  were  faced  with  the  task  of 
dividing  a  space  designed  to  suit  two  people  into  space  accommodat- 
ing for  three. 

One  thing  about  life  in  a  triple  is  that  friendships  formed 
are  enduring  and  impressive  in  their  strength.  Being  a  part  of  a  triple 
certainly  insures  that  you  will  always  have  a  lunch  date,  study  part- 
ner, or  an  extra  friend  to  confide  in. 

Though  the  mere  mention  of  triples  can  predictably  pro- 
voke anything  from  cringing  to  sympathy  from  students  who  share 
their  room  with  only  one  other  person,  most  Freshmen  in  triples  have 
proved  the  pessimists  wrong.  They  have  adapted  to  the  situation  with 
the  true  American  spirit  and  figure:  If  you  are  going  to  be  an  eagle, 
why  not  share  a  little  nest  room?

"Grandpa,  you  were 
a  pillar  of  fire  before 
the  camp.  And  now 
we're  just  the  camp 
left  alone  in  the 
dark,  and  we're  so 
cold.   I  know  people 
are  talking  about  a 
national  loss,  but 
how  can  you  console 
a  whole  nation  when 
Grandma  cannot 
stop  weeping." — 
Rabin's  17-year-old 
granddaughter  Noa 
Ben-Artzi  Philosof 


Millions  mourned  the  death  of  a 
leader,  colleague  and  friend.  The  assas- 
sination of  Yitzak  Rabin  on  November 

4,   1 995,  created  a  shock  wave  that  was  felt  all  around 
the  world.  People  from  all  walks  of  life  and  every  corner 
of  the  world  stood  silent  while  the  bells  and  sirens  of  Israel 
peeled  out  in  memorial  to  the  fallen  champion  of  peace. 
Political  leaders  from  all  over  the  world  attended  his  fu- 
neral and  memorial  service.  Even  some  of  the  rulers  con- 
sidered enemies  of  the  peace  process,  put  down  their 
weapons  to  pay  tribute  to  Former  Prime  Minister  Yitzak 
Rabin.  Tears  were  shed  by  even  the  solemnest  of  individu- 
als. 

In  the  global  aspect,  his  death  was  seen  as  the 
possible  end  of  the  peace  process  in  the  Middle  East.  Many 
feared  that  what  he  had  started  was  never  going  to  get 
finished. 

On  the  day  of  the  assassination,  there  was  a  shroud  of 
sadness  that  had  enveloped  the  American  University  cam- 
pus. The  magnitude  of  this  event  could  be  viewed  in  the 
eyes  of  the  student  body  and  faculty.  So  many  realized  the 
effects  that  it  could  have  had  on  the  world. 

If  you  had  walked  through  Anderson  3N  the  day  of  the 
assassination,  you  would  have  seen  a  sign  that  conveyed  a 
very  poignant  message.  Yuval  Levin,  a  freshman  in  the 


School  of  Public  Affairs,  always  has  a  picture  posted 
outside  his  room  with  a  bit  of  sarcastic  political  humor 
beneath  it.  On  the  day  of  the  assassination  he  interrupted 
his  usual  political  commentary  to  post  a  memorial  to  Yitzak 
Rabin.  It  simply  consisted  of  a  picture  of  Prime  Minister 
Yitzak  Rabin  with  1922-1995  printed  beneath  the  picture 
with  these  words  place  solemnly  below:  NO  HUMOR 
TODAY.  Those  words  encompassed  the  feelings  of  many  of 
those  affected  by  the  assassination.  There  was  no  room  in 
the  hearts  of  the  mourners  for  humor  for  they  were  filled 
with  grief  and  sorrow. 

One  thing  that  helped  much  of  the  AU  community 
to  cope  was  a  candlelight  vigil  held  at  Kay  Spiritual 
Center. 

As  the  shock  settled  and  the  world  wondered  where 
this  would  lead,  many  began  to  realize  the  media  images  of 
Israel  in  the  wake  of  the  assassination  may  have  pushed  the 
Middle  East  closer  to  the  peace  that  Rabin's  extremist 
Jewish  assassin  was  protesting.  This  was  an  thesis  pre- 
sented on  November  27,  1995,  during  the  School  of 
Communication's  American  Forum,  "Rabin's  Legacy: 
Press  Coverage  of  Israel  and  the  Middle  East."  The  panel 
consisted  of  Khalid  Duran,  senior  fellow  at  the  Institute  for 
International  Studies  and  editor  of  TmnsState  Islam  ; 
Shlomo  Gur,  deputy  chief  of  mission  at  the  Embassy  of 
Israel  in  Washington:  Judith  Kipper,  director  of  the  Middle 
East  Forum  for  the  Council  of  Foreign  Relations  and  a 
consultant  to  the  RAND  Corp.  and  ABC  News;  and  Ralph 
Begleiter,  CNN  world  affairs  correspondent-the  last  non- 
Israeli  journalist  to  interview  Rabin.

District  Traffic 


The  first  thing  a  visitor  or  newcomer  to  Washington,  D.C. 


Whether  driving  a  car,  riding  a  bus,  or  trying  to  cross  the 
street,  district  traffic  cannot  be  avoided.  Tensions  run  high  as  taxi 
drivers  search  forpassengers  and  Metro  buses  make  continuous 
stops,  both  ignoring  the  othercars  on  the  road.  Traffic  circles  do 
not  help  the  situation.  Trying  to  stay  in  your  lane  while  out  of 
statedrivers  figure  their  way  around  Dupont  Circle  can  lead  to 
screeching  tires,  waving  fists. Being  a  pedestrian  in  Washington 


means  taking  your  life  in  your  hands  at 
every  streetcrossing.   Not  having  the  right 
of  way  often  leaves  walkers  sprinting 
across  busyintersections  dodging  cars  from 
all  directions.    Most  people  prefer  driving 
their  own  car,  rather  than  taking  public 


sees  is  not  theWashington  Monument  of  the 
White  House,  but  cars,  lots  and  lots  of  cars.

transportation,  whichadds  to  the 
conjestion  on  the  streets. Those  lucky 
enough  to  be  driving  often  wonderwhy 
they  bother  as  they  are  forced  to  spend 
twenty  minutes  in  search  of  that 
elusiveparking  spot. Travelling  by  the 
Metro  system  is  often  the  easiest  way  to 
get  around  the  city.  Whiletravelling  by 
bus  can  be  slow,  and  the  midnight  cur- 
few can  limit  ones  schedule, MetroRail  is 
quick,  and  much  cheaper  than  paying 
for  parking.

>S./MJC  TASKFORCE 


The  downtown  D.C.  area  sprung  to 
life  on  September  23rd  in  the  spirit  of  AIDS 
awareness.  American  University  students,  fac- 
ulty, and  alumni  marched  among  the  droves  of 
citizens  who  made  the  city  resonate  with  activ- 
ity.  Gathering  downtown  on  the  Mall  in  the 
early  morning,  participants  came  out  from  the 
far  reaches  of  the  nation  to  voice  their  concern 
and  show  their  support  for  one  of  the  most 
publicized  health  issues  of  today:  the  AIDS 
epidemic. 

The  walk  went  into  full  swing 
upon  the  arrival  of  such  political  figures  as 
Tipper  Gore.   From  there,  the  participants 
proceeded  to  march  through  the  temporarily 
closed  off  streets  of  D.C.,  making  their  pres- 
ence and  cause  known.  American  University 
groups  were  not  to  be  overlooked  in  the 
crowd.  They  began  at  the  head  of  the  march, 
with  their  banners  sailing  out  in  front  of  them 
and  their  cheers  heard  by  all  around  them. 

Foot  traffic  steadily  replaced  the  usual 
automotive  congestion  as  onlookers  called  out 
words  of  encouragement  to  the  throngs  who 
surged  past.   One  sure  sign  that  the  American 
spirit  was  present  was  the  appearance  of  our 
own  "Condom  Man".   During  the  pause  be- 
fore the  walk  was  underway,  he  was  seen 
passing  out  condoms  and  urging  his  message 
of  safer  sex  to  anyone  within  earshot. 

Thanks  to  those  involved  and  ac- 
tive in  the  cause,  the  walk  was  a  definite 
success.  Though  it  was  only  an  annual  event, 
the  impact  that  it  causes  was  enough  to  make 
any  American  University  student  proud 
enough  to  proclaim  from  the  frontlines  of  a 
just  cause,  "Once  an  Eagle,  Always  an  Eagle!".

The  American  Chapter  of  the  Delta  Chi  Fraternity  continued  its  tradition  of 
campus  leadership  and  involvement  throughout  the  Fall  semester  of  1995. 
One  of  the  highlights  included  the  initiation  of  the  Kappa  pledge  class. 
Another,  was  Delta  Chi's  highly  successful  philanthropy  project.  The  frater- 
nity sponsored  a  campus-wide  wiffleball  tournament  held  during  Greek 
Weekend  in  October.   Five-person  teams  could  pay  to  participate  in  the 
tournament,  held  on  the  Friedheim  Quad,  with  all  of  the  proceeds  going  to 
The  Luekemia  Society  of  America.  Through  the  combined  efforts  of  the 
brotherhood,  Delta  Chi  was  able  to  raise  well  over  a  thousand  dollars  for  this 
worthy  cause.    Also,  the  fraternity  excelled  in  the  field  of  intramurals.   Delta 
Chi's  soccer  team  made  it  all  the  way  to  the  finals,  and  its  flag  football  team 
reached  the  playoffs  for  the  first  time  in  the  fraternity's  history.   Finally,  to 
culminate  a  highly  successful  semester,  Delta  Chi  held  its  fifth  year  anniversary 
founder's  ball  at  the  Senate's  Russell  Caucus  Ballroom.   Delta  Chi  made  great 
strides  throughout  the  Fall  1995  semester,  and  it  hopes  to  continue  the 
progress  for  years  to  come.

They  began  their  season  with  the  teams  first-ever  appearance  in  the 
eminent  Coca-Cola  Classic  at  Virginia  and  then  continued  with 
fifteen  games,  eight  of  which  were  CAA  conference  games. 

The  team  had  to  deal  with  many  important  vacancies  left  open 
by  last  years  graduates.  They  lost  the  majority  of  their  veteran  scor- 
ing ability  and  the  experience  in  goal.  The  Eagles  were  counting  on 
sophomore  Scott  Pearson,  a  second-team  AJ1-CAA  pick  as  a  fresh- 
man last  year,  to  head  up  the  group  of  talented  and  dangerous  scor- 
ers on  the  team.  Through  the  first  half  of  the  season  Pearson  really 
came  through  for  the  team.  Included  in  his  list  of  contributions

would  have  to  be  his  second  collegiate  hat  trick  in  their  September  30 
game  against  Howard.  When  the  Eagles  outshot  Maryland  15-13, 
Scott  Pearson  made  the  scoring  goal.   Kirk  Friedrich  also  returned 
with  veteran  expierience,  and  added  to  his  reputation  with  a  goal  on 
nationally  ranked  William  and  Mary.   Kirk  helped  keep  the  team  in 
pace  with  the  Tribe  up  through  most  of  the  game  with  the  goal. 

A  major  concern  for  coach  Jenkins  had  to  be  the  lack  of  experi- 
ence that  he  was  forced  to  put  between  the  net  at  the  beginning  of  the 
season.   Freshman  goalkeeper,  Jeff  Angelucci  has  shown  that  freshman 
doesn't  mean  inexperienced.  When  the  game  against  Old  Dominion 
University  on  September  14  was  completed,  Angelucci  had  already 
registered  47  saves  on  the  year. 

The  problem  for  the  '95  -  '96  team  has  not  been  getting  ahead; 
it  has  been  staying  ahead.  Although  most  of  the  Limelight  usually 
goes  to  forewards  and  goalies,  the  strongest  parts  of  the  team  were  the 
midfielders  and  defenders.   In  turnovers,  by  midfielders  like  Bob 
Schwartz,  Jelf  Americo,  Kirk  Friedrich,  Jon  Pascale,  and  Greg  Lanza, 
or  the  countless  turnovers  by  defensive  players  like  Todd  Miller  and 
Stephen  Franzke  all  keep  the  ball  rolling.  The  strongest  aspect  of  the 
'95  -  '96  men's  team  was  its  ability  to  keep  the  ball  downfield  no 
matter  how  tough  their  opponent.

The  '95  -  '96  women's  soccer  team  has  taken  advantage  of  the 
experience  that  was  gained  through  last  season's  7-10-1  record  estab- 
lished against  seven  nationally-ranked  teams.  With  ten  returning 
starters  from  last  year's  team,  the  Eagles  had  a  firm  foundation  from 
which  to  build  the  '95  -  '96  squad.  They  were  looking  to  capitalize  of 
that  experience  through  yet  another  difficult  schedule. 

All  through  last  year's  season,  the  team  started  as  many  as  seven 
freshmen  in  it's  line-up.  With  only  one  senior  on  this  year's  squad, 
head  coach  Colleen  Corwell  again  needed  support  from  the  younger 
members  of  the  squad. 

Senior  and  team  captain  Eileen  MacNeil,  who  has  bee  chosen  as 
a  member  of  the  All-CAA  Second  Team  the  past  two  seasons,  was 
expected  to  help  stabilize  the  Eagle's  defense  this  season,  while  junior 
Julia  Pike  and  sophomores  Danielle  Pini  and  Lisa  Herndon  were  seen 
as  the  necessary  scoring  punch  for  the  team  to  be  a  force  in  the  CAA. 
Junior  Shannon  Davis,  who  is  one  of  only  three  returning  Eagles  to 
have  started  every  one  of  last  year's  eighteen  contests  was  MacNeil's 
defensive  partner. 


The  Eagles  continue 
to  build  this  year 
with  a  large  number 
of  freshmen,  and 
a  majority  of  under- 
classmen. New 
talent  means  big 
improvement  for  the 
lady  Eagles. 


to 


One  of  the  strongest  aspects  of  the  team 
had  to  be  the  players  between  the  posts.  Al- 
though junior  goalkeeper  Lisa  Gervase  jumped 
to  the  forefront  by  mid-October  leading  the 
CAA  with  74  saves,  there  were  always  two  fresh- 
men standing  in  wait  to  back  her  up,  Mari  Hyde 
and  Maureen  McCulloch.  Through  the  combi- 
nation of  these  three  outstanding  goalies  the 
team  tallied  up  five  shut-outs  in  the  first  half  of 
the  season. 

Led  by  Lisa  Herndon  in  scoring,  Lisa 
Gervase  in  goal  and  Eileen  MacNeil  on  defense, 
the  team  was  guaranteed  improvement  from  the 
previous  season.

The  greatest  understatement  possible  at  the  beginning  of 
this  year,  would  have  had  to  have  been  that  the  hopes  for  the 
American  University  field  hockey  team  were  high.  The  Eagles 
were  looking  to  soar  even  higher  after  finishing  last  years  season 
ranked  1 5th  in  the  nation  in  this  year's  competition.  The  return 
of  AU's  most-prolific  scorer  in  school  history,  Stacey-Ann  Sui 
Butt,  and  an  influx  oi  several  top-notch  international  players 
gave  the  Eagles  a  good  start  in  that  direction.  It  also  benefitted

their  scoring  output. 

There  offense  was  led  this  year  by  sophomores  Stacey-Ann

Volleyball 


This  year  had  to  be  a  difficult  year  for 
the  women's  volleyball  team.   Coming  off  its 
best  season  in  AU's  history,  they  had  some 
unfinished  business  to  take  care  of  this  year. 
Even  though  they  completed  last  year's  season 
with  a  34-8  record,  had  a  23  game  winning 
streak  and  were  the  first  team  in  our  school's 
history  to  represent  AU  in  the  National  Invi- 
tational Volleyball  Championships,  Coach 
Goldberg's  biggest  challenges  were  left  to  be 
accomplished  during  the  '95  season. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  season  Goldberg 
was  counting  on  his  four  returning  players; 
Francine  Courtat,  Sherita  Hall,  Jennifer 
Conner,  and  Shannon  Jaax;  to  really  take  con- 
trol of  the  team.   However,  a  serious  back 
problem  placed  a  kink  in  his  plans  for  the

quicker  paced  than  volleyball  in  the  Czech  Republic.

team.  As  of  mid-season  Sherita  Hall  had  just 
begun  physical  therapy  and  it  looked  doubtful 
that  she  would  play  at  all  this  season. 

Stepping  to  the  foreground  to  fill  the  void 
left  by  this  unfortunate  injury  was  Vendula 
Kurcova.  She  is  a  six  foot  freshman  from  the 
Czech  Republic.   Over  the  season  she  proved 
herself  worthy  of  thestarting  position  into  which 


she  was  thrust.   However,  on  the  evening  of 
October  21,1995,   the  Eagles  suffered  another 
temporary  set-back  when  Vendula  blew  out  her 
knee  during  their  home  match  versus  Virginia 
Tech. 

This  year's  team  was  very  versatile  the  en-

fill  the  gaps  when  and  where  players  were  absent.

Placing  eighth  at  Conferences  might  not  seem 
like  a  mighty  finish,  but  for  a  small  team 
with  a  smaller  budget,  the  individual  finishes  are 
more  notable  than  the  overall  team  standing.

Hockey 

In  the  CAA  semifinals  AU  falls  to  the  ODU 
Monarchs  in  overtime.  The  Eagles  finished  the 
season  13-5,  4-2  CAA,  compared  to  7-10-2  just 
two  seasons  ago.  AU  has  really  stepped  up  its 
play  with  international  players  like  Siu-Butt, 
Virginia  Casabo,  and  Julia  Behr. 

The  1995  season  was  the  final  season  for 
quite  a  few  Eagles  on  the  Field  Hockey  team, 
Stacey  Stets,  Kelly  Crossman,  Kristen  Frieswyk, 
and  Veronica  Grigera.  In  their  freshmen  years 
they  were  "on  the  brink  of  the  big  games... 
entering  overtime  strong,  and  leaving  losing," 
comments  captain  Kelly  Crossman,  now  they 
have  turned  itself  into  a  nationally  ranked  team.

Men 

For  the  first  time  in  six  years,  men's  soccer 
advanced  to  the  semi-finals  where  they  were 
defeated  by  nationally  ranked  William  and

AU  defeated  Old  Dominion.  During  the  1994— 
1995  season,  American  was  defeated  by  ODU 
during  first  round  competition. 
American  finished  its  regular  season  (5-3  CAA) 
with  wins  against  both  UNCW  and  ECU. 
Coach  Bob  Jenkins  was  very  pleased  with  the 
way  the  team  was  looking  before  the  conference 
tournament,  and  pointed  out  the  depth  on  the 
bench.  Players  like  junior  Jon  Pascale,  who 
scored  both  second  half  goals,  really  add  a  lot  of 
depth  to  the  Eagles  line-up. 

Women 

Congradulations  to  the  women's  soccer  team, 
due  to  a  much  improved  season,  and  to 
CAA  coach  of  the  year  Colleen  Corwell,  first 
team  All-CAA  picks  Lisa  Herndon  and  Lisa 
Gervase,  as  well  as  second  team  picks  Danielle 
Pini  and  Carrie  Schroeder.  The  team  finished 
up  their  regular  season  play  10-7-4,  and  3-3-2 
CAA. 

Volleyball 

The  Eagles  finish  the  their  season  successfully 
despite  setbacks  from  injuries.  After  ad- 
vancing to  the  semifinals,  AU  players  recieved 
several  awards.  Shirley  Smiekel  recieves  CAA 
rookie  of  the  year,  First  Team  All-CAA  Francine 
Courtat,  Second  Team  All-CAA  Shirley  Smiekel 
and  Vendula  Kurcova.  The  1995  season  became 
the  seventh  consecutive  season  in  which  the 
Eagles  won  at  least  20  wins,  giving  an  overall 
178-77  record  since  coach  Barry  Goldberg 
began  at  AU.

Introducing  Mark  Daven,  the  newly 
appointed  head  swimming  coach. 
•   Coach  Daven  brings  with  him  a 
sincere  love  for  the  sport,  a  hard  working 
attitude,  and  a  team  oriented  attitude. 
Daven,  who  has  compiled  an  impressive 
coaching  resume  including  assistant  with 
a  UCLA  NCAA  championship  team, 
possesses  the  winning  attitude  that  could 
inspire  any  team  toward  greatness.  Davin 
is  persistant  with  stroke  technique,  and 
uses  video  to  show  swimmers  racing 
strategies  and  their  current  stroke  tech- 
nique to  compare  to  how  they  should  be. 

AU  men's  swim  team  is  prob- 
ably one  of  the  most  talented 
varsity  teams  here  at  AU.  We 
have  been  undefeated  for  more 
than  a  year  and  a  half,  almost 
two  years  and  I  think  that  is  a 
record  that  no  other  teams  have 
equalled  here  at  AU. — 
co-captain  Niels  Jensen. 

The  underwater 
scenes  for  Swimming 
were  captured  from 
8mm  video,  after 
shot  through  a  HI-8 
camera  and  cope 
scope. 

Special  thanks  to  Jeff 
Akseizer  of  ATV  for 
the  use  of  his  HI-8 
recorder. 


With  a  new  coach- 
ing staff,  and  the 
largest  team  in  two 
years,  the  Swim 
and  Dive  team  was 
bound  for  greatness

There  have  been  many  changes  on 
campus  from  triple  rooms  to 
a  renovated  Anderson  Hall  and 
Mary  Graydon  Center.  However, 
one  of  the  more  subtle  changes 
that  has  occurred  is  in  the 
University  Computing  Center.  I 
sat  down  with  Malek  Malaikah, 
director  of  UCC,  to  talk  about 
some  of  these  changes.

/^vne  was,  "a  disadvantage  of  speed.  Mo-

Roger  Streitmatter 
teacher  of  the  year 


Every  year  one  professor  is  recognized  for 
their  outstanding  achievements  and  dedica- 
tion to  their  students.  For  the  1995-1996 
term,  Professor  Rodger  Streitmatter  received 
this  honorable  distinction.   Dr.  Streitmatter  is 
a  journalist  and  historian  who  has  been  a 
member  of  the  School  of  Communications 
faculty  for  over  fifteen  years.   He  has  received 
two  Fulbright  Fellowships  to  teach  American 
Journalism  in  Moscow  at  Moscow  State  Uni- 
versity and  at  the  International  Studies 
University  of  Shanghai,  China. 

Professor  Streitmatter  learned  of  being 
named  as  Scholar/Teacher  of  the  Year  while  he 
was  still  teaching  in  Shanghai  in  the  Fall  of 
1994.   He  said  he  began  to  appreciate  then, 
during  a  discussion  with  one  of  his  Chinese 
students  on  American-style  teaching,  the 
unique  qualities  of  it.   He  said  that  American 
professors  personalize  teaching  while  Chinese 
teachers  simply  pontificate-  "American  profes- 
sors are  interested  in  what  students  think." 


photo  credtt:Amanda  Hammerman 


Streitmatter  continued,  "I  have  con- 
tinued to  think  about  teaching  as  a 
personal  process.   [The]  bedrock  principle 
of  high  quality  teaching  [is  that]  a  teacher 
tells  students  what  he  or  she  expects  of 
them  and  pushes  them  to  reach  that  stan- 
dard. A  master  teacher,  on  the  other  hand, 
awakens  a  student's  own  expectations." 

"I  must  reveal  my 
own  gaps  of 
knowledge,  my  own 
uncertainties,  my 
own  unanswered 
questions.   To  show 
the  students  that  I... 
in  short,  am 
human."  —  Roger 
Streitmatter

cast  and  crew  share.   But  as  mere  audience  viewers,  we  never  get  a  backstage  look  at  what  happens  before  those 
curtains  rise.  So  let  us  take  this  chance  to  go  behind  the  scenes  of  this  year's  AU  players  production  of  Fashion. 


(opposite  page)  Mark  Stern  seems  to  be  begging  make-up  artist 
Andrea  Lydon  not  to  make  him  appear  so  evil, 
(above  left)  Ian  McGonigle  gets  his  finishing  touches  applied, 
(above  right)  Brian  Robinson  looks  neri'ous  before  the  big  show.

Commencement 


Most  graduates, 
on  their  day  of 
commencement,  have 
been  anxious  for  the 
moment  they  walk  to 
recieve  their  degree 
for  a  long  time — 
anxious  because  they 
fear  an  uncertain 


future  or  because 
of  excitement — 
those  last  anxious 
moments  seem  to 
linger  in  the  air, 
the  seconds  nearly 
standing  still,  wait- 
ing—  and  then  it  s 
over,  and  life  con- 
tinues once  more. 


frozen  moments 


If  you  were  lucky 
enough  to  find  a 
seat,  this  diner

of  Marriott  and 
Student  Activities, 
then  you  know 
this  is  the  sort  of 
thing  memories 
are  made  of:  good 
friends  and  food, 
or  at  least  dessert.

to 


As  Life  progresses,  it  seems  so  easy 
for  brothers  to  drift  from  each 
other.  But  our  relationship  has 
proved  too  strong  and  I  believe  we 
will  always  be  the  best  of  friends, 
even  when  I  am  in  my  most  an- 
noying state.  I  am  very  proud  and 
not  very  surprised  of  who  you  have 
grown  into.  Thankyou  for  every- 
thing, for  you  have  given  me  a  lot. 
Love,  Scott 


We  met  in  class  neither  of  us 
wanted  to  take.  When  you  first 
smiled  at  me,  I  knew  I  wanted  to 
know  more.  When  you  held  my 
hand,  I  knew  I  was  in  love  and 
there  was  no  turning  back.  From 
that  day  on,  we  have  had  so  much 
fun  together.  With  each  day  that 
passes,  I  love  you  more  and  more! 
Love  Always, 
Crissy 
(B.L.) 


Danny 


Wow!  The  last  four  years  have  gone  by  so  fast.  You  never  cease 
to  amaze  us;  with  each  year  you  grow  more  handsome,  inquisi- 
tive and  loving.  The  time  we  spend  together  is  treasured  dearly. 
You  seem  to  be  welcoming  responsibility,  which  makes  us  very 
proud.  You're  a  great  friend  and  confidant  to  your  brother  and 
truly  a  friend  to  everyone  you  love. 

You  have  also  made  us  happy  by  announcing  your  engagement 
to  Crissy.  We  love  and  cherish  the  two  of  you.  So,  we  toast  to 
your  happiness  and  success.  You  are  more  than  a  son,  You  are 
also  a  wonderful  friend.

Accidents  and  illness  can  happen  at  any  time  of  the 
day  or  night.  And  when  they  do,  every  minute  counts. 

That's  why  Sibley's  emergency  service  is  open  24
