MAKING THE RIGHT

UNIV. OF SANTA CLARA

THE REDWOOD 1985

Installing PCs in Orradre Library, instituting the communication major, hiring a new Head Baseball Coach and Asst. Athletic Director improved the University community. In keeping with Jesuit ideals, the University of Santa Clara made choices and positioned itself for the future.

But the University's faculty and administration were not the only ones making decisions. Students made choices affecting their own lives. Many took on a double major or a minor, protested against apartheid, joined athletic teams, volunteered with SCCAP and student media, and took jobs.

These moves became indicative of the year. And the willingness to make these decisions and choices came to be part of the people who were here in 1985.

As workmen raise the graduation platform, and throughout the year, the

ideals represented by the statue of Jesus Christ — Jesuit ideals — influence the decisions, the moves, made by the University of Santa Clara community. Although they didn't always gain the desired results, these moves were individuals' attempts to benefit themselves, others and the University.

Karen Fredrickson took advantage of the new minor program and added TV production to her English curriculum. Faculty, like Dale Mugler, Ph.D., and Tim Lukes, Ph.D., and students, like Steve Oddo and Ida Da Roza, chose to study and research abroad.

Other students took advantage of the opportunities available on the SCU campus. Martin Kunz ran for ASUSC Administrative Vice President. Heidi Goldstein and Mike Takamoto became part of the Freshman Orientation Steering Committee. Uwe Sauer joined the SCU basketball squad. And, Juli Range's choice to attend SCU helped make this freshman class the largest in history.

In dorm rooms, faculty offices, and the Mission Gardens people made decisions and set goals for their lives which they felt were good ones.

Many Santa Clarans saw world problems and decided to help solve them. Others found situa- tions within SCU that they could improve.

Tim Jefferies found that by painting himself green he could entice more people to SCU basket- ball games. Rich Albertoni, Laura Grimes and the Freshmen Weekend leaders went out of their way to help freshmen relax and meet new people. And students simply took the time to make their roommates and floormates feel at home.

For many people it wasn't enough to make de- cisions only involving themselves. They felt best when other people benefitted from those deci- sions.

Other people's decisions spread the University's name. Dan Saracino, M.A., Mr. Gerwe, and others put together video tapes and brochures about SCU. Harold Reeling's and Nick Vanos' perfor- mances in the NIT brought national attention. So did the Rugby Club's eastern tour and the wom- en's basketball performance in The Holiday Clas- sic.

rhe challenge was to supplement the often te- dious nature of study with elements that en- ticed, enlightened, and inspired. The University's academic departments rose to this challenge, of- fering a wide range of course selections and ac- tivities that encouraged students to explore, to deepen their awareness, and, ultimately to strengthen socially responsible commitments.

For the first time, students pursued double ma- jors and minors. Students and professors also worked on project research that not only added to their knowledge and experience but also contri- buted to biology, chemistry and other fields of study. Students went abroad and gained a new perspective on European culture as well as their own. Professors also travelled to Europe and the Far East on sabbaticals.

The University itself began a self-examination and invited its faculty for a retreat to critique academic and student services programs. The Uni- versity also sponsored the Institute on Poverty and Conscience to expose the community to reali- ties at home and in the Third World.

This academic climate encouraged students and faculty to explore and to act. And that continued until the end of the school year when students, Faculty and Staff Against Apartheid was formed and the Communication Department was ap- proved.

Their experiences as students help instructors to build the close relationships they once enjoyed with their professors

The short term effects of alter- ations made at SCU were often criti- cized by students and faculty; however, the benefits of these changes may be recog- nized by students and faculty of the future. Over the years SCU has made changes such as admitting women and building new facili- ties. Current students did not recognize these changes as past im- provements but as characteristics of the University. Those who were most able to see these changes and their effects were those who attended SCU and later returned to teach.

One SCU graduate who could appreciate the University's changes was Rose Ma- rie Beebe, Ph.D., the Modern Languages De- partment. As an in- structor she took ad- vantage of these changes, "When I at- tended Santa Clara for- eign languages weren't required for science or business students. Since I'm teaching stu- dents who are re- quired, rather than want, to take my class, it's more of a challenge for me. I'm forced to

be creative." Dr. Beebe also used other depart- ment's facilities to en- hance her course. For instance she used the T.V. faculty's video machine to tape Span- ish skits produced by her students.

The 84-85 school year was the first with double majors and mi- nors. Henry Demmert, Ph.D. who graduated from SCU in 1965, saw two sides to this pro- gram. "The double ma- jors don't leave enough extras. With a double major the courses which are the key to liberal arts are elimi- nated." On the other hand, Dr. Demmert felt that a double major combining business and liberal arts was useful compared to two majors in business or two in arts. Dr. Beebe would have had two minors with her major if SCU recognized them when she gradu- ated. She commented, "Double majors and mi- nors will be most bene- ficial when graduates are seeking jobs."

The aspects of Dr. Beebe's and Dr. Dem- mert's careers as stu- dents which both feel carried over into their careers as instructors were the relationship they had with their

professors. Dr. Dem- mert, developed a close relationship with a pro- fessor who strongly in- fluenced him to teach at Santa Clara. As a teacher, Dr. Demmert developed this sort of relationship with some of his students. "I open up to them and allow them to open up to me," said Dr. Dem- mert. "I want to help them as [my professor] helped me. Dr. Beebe also opened up to her students. "Some of my professors were per- sonal friends. I've tried to cultivate what they've done, but to a greater degree," Dr. Beebe also gets to know her students through her teaching techniques. "I ask them personal ques- tions in Spanish. It's like killing two birds with one stone, I learn about my students and they learn Spanish." Santa Clara has al- lowed Dr. Beebe, Dr. Demmert, and others to take what they learned and use it in their teaching. Dr. Bee- be concluded, "I want- ed to come back to Santa Clara. I want to always be a part of it. I love this place!"

Double majors and minors allowed students an

EXPANDED CURRICUL

For the first time in SCU history, students had a chance to add a minor or an additional major to their course curricu- lum. By spring quarter 50 students had de- clared double majors and 37 had declared a minor.

The purpose of this program was to expand the University's objec- tive of maintaining a broad-based liberal arts school. Vice-president for Student Bob Senkewicz, S.J., said that the double major program offered business and engineer- ing students the chance to experience liberal arts classes and gave humanities stu- dents a chance to en- roll in more technical courses. Nancy Ed- dinger, a junior mar- keting major, com- mented, "A minor in history has made my studies much more in- teresting."

Any student could have a double major in any two departments of Engineering, and Arts and Sciences, or any department in Arts and Sciences combined with any department in Business or Engi- neering. And only in the Biology Depart- ment were academic minors denied.

Although the minor program was consid- ered permanent, the

double major program was only introduced on a trial basis. In 1987, the University adminis- tration was scheduled to review how students with double majors used their electives. School officials were wary that a double ma- jor might reduce the number of general edu- cation courses a stu- dent would take while also forcing students to use up their electives. Unfortunately, when

major, students were forced to give up elec- tives in order to meet graduation require- ments. Janie Carmena, junior economics major, commented, "I tried to get a second major in education, but found that I would have to use up all of my elec- tives in order to gra- duate on time."

After the trial period, the University was to decide how many elec- tives could be used to- ward a double major and if the required to- tal units to graduate with a double major should be increased.

Despite the questions raised in the first year of the new program, many students were excited to have an op- tion for a second de- gree; and many took advantage of the op- portunities an extra major/minor offered.

The Black Affairs and Chicano Affairs Offices, located on second floor Benson, played a vital role in assisting SCU's minority undergraduates. Opening its doors in the mid-60s, the Chicano Affairs Office has since been the sole liaison between various SCU services and Chicano students. Accord- ing to Director Inez Gomez, one of her principal responsi- bilities was to "channel information to students" from Uni-

versity offices such as Grants and Fellow- ships, Academic Re- sources and the Career Development and Placement Center. Her office also offered aca- demic counseling to most of the approxi- mately 250 Chicano and Latino students at SCU.

Ms. Gomez worked with Mecha-el-Frente and planned activities such as the tutoring program that was of- fered to low-income ju- nior high school stu- dents. Chicano Affairs also lent considerable support to the "Ballet Folk-lorico," a dance group performing Mexican national dances.

Meanwhile at the other end of the hall, the Black Affairs Office offered similar services. Under the direction of Benjamin Bowser, Ph.D., the Black Affairs Office had a busy year. Dr. Bowser believed that "The most important service we provide is academic counseling to

by Celine Cebedo

our black students. An- other key role of this office is its position of consultant to other of- fices such as the Vice- President of Student Services in regards to the black student." Dr. Bowser's office was in- strumental in the orga- nization and prepara- tion for Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and commemoration. The Black Affairs Office scheduled numerous events which included lectures by Stokely Carmichael, Loften Mitchell, a perfor- mance by Philip Walk- er, and a black author's dramatic reading. Along with his many other duties, Dr. Bowser was also the advisor of Igwebuike, the black student's club.

Both offices worked to increase the minor- ity enrollment at SCU. Their doors were al- ways open to the Chi- cano and black stu- dents seeking personal attention, support and a cultural sense of sta- bility.

COME TO LIFE AS SCU STUDENTS EXPLORE

ART, POLITICS AND CULTURAL TREASURES

During fall quarter at Santa Clara, many familiar faces failed to show up. This had happened before. These unseen students didn't drop out, transfer, or gra- duate. Instead, they opted for a semester or year of study abroad. 102 Santa Clara juniors and sen- iors spent a semester or a full year study- ing in Europe or Ja- pan.

Studying, however, wasn't the only draw

Europe offered. Stu- dents were able to sample a wide variety of experiences from the bull fights in Ma- drid to the festivals in Freiburg. In the fall, many of the students gathered at the Okto- berfest in Munich. The students com- pared notes and shared experiences while drinking hearty liter-mugs of Lowen- brau and Hufbrau.

"I've never had so much fun in my life," said junior Kathy Donat.

The universities, however, were the main reason students came to "the conti- nent." The programs in Madrid, Paris, Nantes, and Freiburg offered courses in the native language, while the other uni- versities offered classes in English. The students returned from their exper- iences abroad with a good understanding of the country they had visited and a new per- spective on their home in America.

"It made me appre- ciate America more," said junior John Del Santo, "I found Italy to be a little back- ward."

This renewed es- teem for America came from a wider understanding of the people and cultures where students stayed — their exper- iences were an added feature to the diverse educational opportuni- ties offered at SCU.

Although a University Committee reported 482 incidents of cheating, many were left unpunished.

Dishonesty Studied

As part of a re- newed plan to curb student dishonesty during the 1984-85 year, a faculty board began studying cheating by Santa Clara students. A sur- vey by the Academic Integrity Committee cited 482 incidents of cheating in 1982-83.

"We wanted to raise the issue," said John Stewart, Ph.D., anthro- pology/ sociology pro- fessor and member of the commitee. "It had not been raised enough."

As members of the committee, Dr. Stewart and Carol White, Ph.D., of the Philos- ophy Department stud- ied student dishonesty with a hope "to create alternative policy op- tions to foster greater academic integrity."

The committee sur- veyed over 160 SCU professors and discov- ered that the respon- dents were aware of 482 cases of cheating in 1982-83. Further- more, the committee's report stated that pre- vious reports and stu- dent interviews sug- gested that "the fre- quency of dishonesty is significantly greater than that observed by faculty."

The committee re- port also outlined eight disciplinary measures taken by faculty in re- sponse to student di-

shonesty. Approxi- mately half of the time professors either "warned the student about cheating or ig- nored the incident be- cause of the lack of evidence." Only 14 per- cent of the incidents prompted professors to give a student "an F on the assignment or exam."

However, these per- centages can not be easily compared, sug- gested Dr. White. "It's my hunch that in many cases the only thing the professors could do is warn the student," said Dr. White. "It's difficult to prove that students glancing around the room during an exam were actually cheat- ing."

The committee's sur- vey also specified dif- ferent types of stu- dent cheating during the 1982-83 academic year. And of the seven types of cheating out- lined, the most com- mon violations were in business, history/ science and mathema- tics/natural sciences.

"Plagiarism from sec- ondary sources" was the most common type of cheating in the arts/ humanities with 57 in- cidents. Only 21 inci- dents of "copying from students during in- class exams" were re- ported in that division.

The lowest number

of reported incidents occured in engineering. Only five percent of the total number of re- ported cases were in engineering while 37 percent of the cases occurred in business. The second highest number of reports oc- curred in arts/humani- ties with 25 percent. History/social sciences and mathematics/na- tural science followed with 19 percent and ten percent, respective- ly-

"This problem is not unique to Santa Clara, declared Dr. Stewart. "Around the country and here at Santa Clara there has been a lack of academic integ- rity," he said. Dr. Stewart cited increased pressure for students to succeed in school as a reason for student di- shonesty. "The stresses for students are great, which leads to a natu- ral tendency to cheat." said Dr. Stewart. Dr. Gina De Ranieri ob- served, "People cheat because universities, graduate schools, and law schools put too much emphasis on grades as opposed to knowledge in the sub- ject. College students feel that they need to get good grades in or- der to succeed. There- fore, they will do any- thing, including cheat- ing, to get the grades."

PROFS. REFLECT

Students weren't the only mem- bers of the Santa Clara community who needed the opportunity to get away from the hectic schedule of col- lege life. Administra- tors and faculty alike recognized the impor- tance of discussing to- pics away from the dai- ly routine, and teach- ers were encouraged to attend special faculty retreats, which were provided throughout the school year.

The last faculty re- treats were held in the early 1980s and the current administration decided it was time to revive this worthwhile program. The 1984-85 versions offered facul- ty an opportunity to talk informally with University President William Rewak, S.J., as well as express their opinions to vice- presi- dents Paul Locatelli,

S.J., and Bob Senkewicz, S.J. Six re- treats were held, each with approximately 40 teachers in attendance, at the Jesuit retreat house in the Los Gatos hills. The sessions last- ed only four hours on Wednesdays to facili- tate attendance. Fr. Senkewicz said be- tween 85 and 90 per- cent of the faculty took advantage of the op- portunity, in his words, "a good turnout."

The day was divided into sections, each with a discussion led by one of the administrators.

Fr. Rewak's talk em- phasized the Jesuit tra- dition of the University and stressed improved collaboration between the various groups in the Santa Clara com- munity. The president said interaction be- tween students, teach- ers, non-faculty and administrators was im-

portant to improve the direction of Santa Clara. In order for the University to continue to grow, Fr. Rewak said, lines of communi- cation had to remain open.

Fr. Locatelli dis- cussed the academic life of the University. Teachers were asked for input on their man- datory course load which required them to teach seven classes per year. This meant that at least one quar- ter was filled with three classes. Many felt this amount of work prevented some professors from giving the proper amount of attention to each stu- dent and to research. Fr. Locatelli's section also considered Santa Clara's academic calen- dar, the benefits and problems of the quar- ter system, and the lack of classes on

Wednesdays.

Finally, Fr. Senkewicz spoke on student life and plans for developing student services. Some specific questions involved the balance between male and female students, the possibility of creat- ing more space for on- campus housing, and the effectiveness of the intramural program.

After each presenta- tion, the faculty was given time to ask ques- tions, exchange reac- tions and raise other areas of concern.

Those faculty mem- bers who attended the retreats considered the experience worthwhile, and Fr. Locatelli was pleased with the re- sults. "We received positive responses about the discussions," said Fr. Locatelli. "Many teachers said their day was enlight- ening."

TEST THEORIES, DISCOVERIES

Supplementing their teaching with indepen- dent research, many SCU professors worked outside the classroom with the aid of student assistants. Physics pro- fessors David Fenner, Ph.D., and Carl Hayn, S.J., and chemistry professors Michael Sweeney, Ph.D., and David White, Ph.D., were among the facul- ty who took on these individual research projects.

Dr. Sweeney and Dr. White researched with the NASA-Ames Re- search Center in Moun- tain View, each inde- pendently studying a series of chemical events. Dr. Sweeney and his assistant, sen- ior Mike Cropp, worked together for over a year to deter- mine the process of chemical evolution and Dr. White researched a related area by reen- acting a scene which may have taken place on earth billions of years ago. Biology ma- jors Marie Richter and Joe Alvarnas conduct- ed experiments for Dr. White to help test his theories. "I do know how to go about ex- ploring my theory," noted Dr. White, citing the importance of stu- dent researchers, "but I don't know if it's right yet."

For some of these students, this research

beyond the basics of science was a job and second to their school work. However, for other students, the re- search was an essential part of the curriculum and done during direct- ed study labs.

During these labs, Fr. Hayn offered ideas to his physics students which he thought would be interesting to them. In one lab, Fr. Hayn and one of his students made an interesting dis- covery in a common ex- periment titled, "A dia- bolic compression in a fire syringe." Their new information was pub- lished and helped im- prove the experiment. Fr. Hayn noted, "the fire syringe demonstra- tion frequently didn't work; now it will work every time you try it."

Dr. Fenner's students were allowed to re- search at their own pace and test their own ideas. "Things I ordinarily have to do, I turn over to them," said Dr. Fenner, "I try to let them do as much on their own as I can . . . they get a lot of experience out of it."

Dr. White and the other professors en- couraged student inter- est in research because it was a chance for stu- dents to "see them- selves as mature scien- tists and begin to test out new ideas." Catherine

and time put into each show produced by San- ta Clara television stu- dents. The Johnnies were also an opportuni- ty for students in the television, Drama and dance programs to work together in a combined effort.

Many of the John- nies' performers were relatively new to the SCU stage, but the fo- cus of the night was on tribute, not acting technique. The show touched on different interpretations of tele- vision, and was high- lighted by a well-per- formed jab at American TV watchers entitled "Couch Potato." While the cast bopped around stage in pajamas and bunny slippers, the lyr- ics complained of the malaise of the TV viewer, and the need for snacks during com- mercials.

Kristin Kusanovich, a Johnnies performer, felt the most successful

part of the show was its exaggerated por- trayal of the 80s soci- ety completely depen- dent on TV. "The rea- son the show worked was that it was easy to poke fun at TV and the people who watch it," said Kristin. "The audi- ence could relate to the jokes, and that's why the show was a success."

The main success, however, was that of the winning students themselves. Awards were given for best public service an- nouncement, best slide interlude, best perfor- mance by talent, best documentary and over- all best show. The time students spent produc- ing programs often went unnoticed, but a "Golden Johnnie" made it all worthwhile for the winners. Best PSA winner Dorio Bar- bieri felt the late night edits paid off. "I'm thrilled that I won and

it was really a sur- prise," said Dorio. "The competition was tough, but the extra time was worth it." Dorio's tal- ent, Joe Alvarnas, was thrilled as well. "I nev- er thought four hours of work for thiriy sec- onds of air time would be worth it until the show won the award. The final result proves that the TV program can perform miracles with a small budget," said Joe.

With the advent of a communication major, the Johnnies promised to be one of the factors that would keep the television program in contact with the drama and dance programs. The show's success was summed up by the comments of junior television major Pete Coglianese. "The cul- mination of weeks of preparation was a show of shows," said Pete. by Richard Hendricks

Psychology students participate in department experiments and attempt to gain insights into the world of clinical psychology.

EXPLORING THE PSYCHE

Images of mad sci- entists in white coats, aided by hunchbacked assistants and performing night- marish experiments, may have crept into the imaginations of a few psychology stu- dents. Yet despite the slight apprehension felt by some, the course re- quirement of participa- tion in a minimum of three Psychology De- partment experiments per quarter was not the cause of too much distress. On the con- trary, most students found it rather enlight- ening.

The purpose of this requirement was for students to learn some- thing about psychology through experimenta- tion. According to Mar- vin L. Schroth, Ph.D.,

it was "the best way to find out how psycholo- gists really work. The student is actually in- volved rather than a passive observer."

The students partici- pated as subjects in two types of depart- ment research. The first kind was the fac- ulty-initiated project, the majority being ba- sic research in either social behavior or, as in the case of Dr. Schroth, testing condi- tions for learning. The second kind involved the experiments con- ducted by more ad- vanced students under the supervision of a faculty member. This gave these students the chance to imple- ment the knowledge they received in class and to discover what

the world of psycholo- gy was like outside of the classroom. These experiments proved a valuable opportunity for students to earn credit and expand their knowledge.

Students were also given the alternative of attending lectures or volunteering for off- campus organizations. Sherrie Crouch, a freshman biology major who considered chang- ing her major to psy- chology, fulfilled her requirement by volun- teering at the Chil- dren's Health Council in San Jose where she observed young chil- dren. And although the experience she got did not directly apply to the introductory psy- chology course she was taking, she felt it

would be helpful in further studies.

Many of the stu- dents, such as fresh- man Robert Chamber- lain, agreed that direct participation in re- search was "a good ex- perience," but not all those involved saw the value of participation from a learning point of view. Michelle Mul- lin, freshman biology major, said "I think our participation helped the student's research project, but the pur- pose was never clearly explained to us."

The students' impres- sions of the experi- ments were as varied as were the experi- ments themselves. And each student received insights to the world of psychology through their participation.

MISSION DIG REVEALS CLUES TO SCU'S PAST

The Anthropology Department had an interesting of 1985. Led by David Huelsbeck, Ph.D., students study of one of the five sites of the Mission Santa

first Mission was built After earthquakes da-

approximately at the north end of the San Jose Airport, and was flooded out after two years." After another two years at a location on somewhat higher ground, the missionar- ies decided to begin building a permanent church. "Up to that point," explained Dr. Huelsbeck, "they con- structed buildings by driving sapling [trees] into the ground, weav- ing brush in between them, then packing mud on top. For the third site they used adobe bricks to con- struct permanent buildings." This third site of the mission, which the field study continued excavating in the summer of 1985, was located at the cor- ner of Franklin Street and Campbell Avenue.

maged this develop- ment in 1818, the mis- sionaries began the fifth, and last, Mission Santa Clara on the land the church occu- pies today.

Arthur Spearman, S.J., author of The Five Franciscan Churches of the Mis- sion Santa Clara, began the archaeological dig near the third site. It was Mark Lynch, Ph.D., who started to integrate students into the field study. In the summer of 1982, he and his group uncov- ered the foundation of one of the buildings. But later that year, a drunk driver hit and killed Dr. Lynch on the Alameda. Dr. Huelsbeck has used many of Dr. Lynch's notes to begin his work. "He really laid

on-going study on its hands during the summer in the Anthropology 197 class continued their Clara. "Originally," said Dr. Huelsbeck, "the

the foundation for the study," said Dr. Huels- beck, "but it's now at a point where it can pro- ceed on its own ac- cord."

So far, the field study under Dr. Huels- beck has found a wide variety of artifacts. They have accumulat- ed many pieces of ado- be, including both floor and roof tiles. The dig- gers have also found remains of Mexican and Indian pottery.

By studying these artifacts and others, such as animal bones and food remains, Dr. Huelsbeck and his group were able to be- gin to piece together the lives of the Span- ish missionaries and the converted Indians who lived at the Mis- by

sion. Mark

A NEW DIMENSION

In an effort to add a fresh perspective to their educations, non-art majors were taking a renewed inter- est in SCU's Art De- partment. This pleased art majors who were tired of being treated like second class stu- dents by students from other schools. "I think the Art Department has gotten more sup- port from the student body; more people are taking art classes and seem to be accepting art as a legitimate field of study," said senior Maria Lobo.

According to assis- tant professor Kelly Deitweiler, M.F.A., the newly renovated build- ing, creating twice the

space as before added to the department's new image. "The ren- ovation really gave the department a sense of organization which helped to unify it. Our goal for this year has been to improve the quality of teaching," commented Mr. Deitweiler.

Two instructors were also added to this year's staff. Brigid Bar- ton, Ph.D., the former director of the de Sais- set, taught courses ranging from art histo- ry to museum studies, while artist Mark McCloud taught ceram- ics.

SCU students also began to make their mark in the art world.

Seniors Jesus Guerra and Ed Duran opened a show at the Freight- door Gallery, a stu- dent-operated art showcase catering not only to student artists, but also to professional Bay Area artists. Fine Arts Club President John Schaefer noted, "This has been the Freightdoor's most suc- cessful year to date. By the end of the fall quarter we were com- pletely booked for the entire school year."

The renovations, the added staff and the in- terest by art and non- art majors combined to make the Art Depart- ment a vital dimension of an SCU education.

COLLEGE THEATRE

So you wanted to be an actor? The SCU Theatre \rts Department corn- Dined practical sides of icting with the history and philosophy of dra- ma and graduated stu- dents who were not jnly technically profi- 2ient, but had broad Liberal arts training as well.

Many college theater departments concen- trated solely on stage work without teaching much in the way of theory or encouraging a broad variety of classes. Fred Tollini, S.J., chair of SCU's Theatre Arts Depart- ment, however, felt it was "essential" to com- bine actual perfor- mance techniques with different forms of

training to produce more knowledgeable and better actors.

To give students a better conception of the pressures after col- lege theater, several professional actors came to SCU both to lecture and to partici- pate in actual perfor- mances. Noel Harrison, Maurice Daniels, John Reich, and Patrick Stewart of the Royal Shakespeare Company were some of the guests in theater classes.

Jagienka Drweski from Poland became part of the Theatre Arts Department and played the lead in the fall production of Mother Courage and her Children. Richard Hendricks, a freshman

actor in the play, felt her input was invalu- able. "To work with someone who had pro- fessional theater exper- ience was great," said Richard. "You can deal with theory day in and day out, and think about being an actor, but that will never get you where you want to go. You won't get any- where without practi- cal tools of exper- ience."

In choosing which plays to perform, Fr. Tollini and his staff of directors tried to bal- ance the season with at least one musical, one serious show, and one comedy. The group combined several of these elements in a musical version of Shakespeare's Comedy

of Errors presented in winter quarter. The comedy Idiot's Delight was performed in spring.

Auditions were not restricted to drama ma- jors and this gave the shows diversity. For example, Todd Gardi- ner, a freshman TV major, was able to per- form in Comedy of Er- rors.

SCU's Theatre Arts Department taught fu- ture actors; it worked on more than just me- chanics. "We want stu- dents to know their talents and their limi- tations," said Fr. Tol- lini. "They should learn to express them- selves."

Sabbatical. Ac- cording to The American Heri- tage Dictionary, a sab- batical is "a leave of absence granted every seven years, as to a college professor, for travel, research or rest."

Thomas Fast, Ph.D., chairman of the Biol- ogy Department, began his sabbatical before his seventh-year-break from teaching.

Dr. Fast was work- ing at NASA-Ames Re- search Center in Moun- tain View on a project which was scheduled on board a shuttle flight on April 30, 1985. Dr. Fast said that their main goal for this pro- ject was "to measure and study some aspects of the changes of hu- man physiology in space." He remarked that the astronauts of- ten encountered major biological changes in space. The research team that Dr. Fast was part of hoped to allevi-

ate this discomfort in space travel. The pro- ject was delayed twice because of unforeseen problems but did final- ly "get off the ground."

Meanwhile, Robert Pfeiffer, Ph.D., chair- man of the Chemistry Department, made plans for his sabbatical. He left for Japan on March 31st for a six- month research stint at the University of To- kyo. He was engaged in studying agricultural chemistry, specifically insect pheromone com- pounds. Dr. Pfeiffer worked with a team of Japanese scientists headed by Dr. Kenji Mori. "I'm really look- ing forward to this. I have been taking Japa- nese lessons and I hope I'll be able to learn enough in 10 weeks," commented Dr. Pfeiffer about his plans. These plans included a stay in an international stu- dent village on the campus of the universi-

ty.

Another missing face on the SCU campus was Tim Lukes, Ph.D., a member of the Politi- cal Science Depart- ment. He has been on a one-year sabbatical which started during the summer of '84. He taught at the Loyola University in Rome, sharing his knowledge of the American politi- cal structure with Ital- ian and other European students.

This type of outside research took good professors away from SCU for long periods, but they were well-de- served respites from academic routines. They allowed profes- sors to share their ex- pertise with communi- ties outside SCU. And the experience gained from these communi- ties, in turn, enriched those professors who took advantage of a sabbatical.

After a difficult Monday filled with invoices, fundraising appoint- ments, and complaints of all sorts, any univer- sity administrator could have been ex- cused for looking for- ward to the afternoon's closing whistle. Few SCU administrators needed extra work to do, and the University President least of all lacked tasks to accom- plish. However, Presi- dent William Rewak, S.J., used his winter Monday evenings to return to teaching, and exposed a select num- ber of engineering and natural science majors to the intricacies of po- etry.

A former full-time teacher, Fr. Rewak had always enjoyed working with students and he gladly seized the opportunity to get back to a classroom at- mosphere. The presi- dent's office became the setting for the dis- cussion of such poets as Robert Frost and e.e. cummings. The class was not open to business or humanities majors and Fr. Rewak felt this restriction al- lowed the engineers and scientists to ex- plore a new subject without competing with students more ex- perienced in the study of English. "In a uni- versity such as Santa Clara," said Fr. Rewak, "science and engineer-

ing majors should get as much literature as they can. This class provides them with an opportunity to take a course which is non- threatening and it al- lows them to do some- thing they haven't done before. Students who have not been confronted with poetry often approach it in a

fresh manner with commendable naivete."

By relying on his own previous knowl- edge of the material and working with a relatively inexperi- enced group of stu- dents, it was easier for the president to bal- ance the responsibil- ities of his position, and still receive the personal satisfaction

gained from teaching. "I don't have to do a great deal of research or study, the kind of study I would have to do for humanities or English majors," said Fr. Rewak. "This is suitable for engineers and natural science majors because many of them come to poetry without much previous knowledge of the sub- ject. There is the op- portunity to make mis- takes and say silly things, and not be in- timidated by those mis- takes. It's a basic course which, timewise, I can handle with ease."

Students were re- quired to survey an en- tire book of poetry each week and to choose one poem for class discussion. Mostly American poets were discussed, including T.S. Eliot, Emily Dick- inson and Walt Whit- man. But aside from the subject matter it- self, Fr. Rewak simply enjoyed having the op- portunity to return to teaching.

"I hadn't taught for a couple of years be- cause of the time com- mitment," said Fr. Rewak. "But this quar- ter I discovered I would be free on the Mondays involved. I like to do it because the classroom offers variety. I enjoy teach- ing and I don't like to stay away from it too long."

STUDENTS GATHER TO STUDY AND DEBATE WORLD PROBLEMS

For fifteen politi- cally minded SCU students, Sacramento's Model United Nations Con- vention offered an op- portunity to simulate real U.N. meetings and learn about the view- points of other nations. Representatives from colleges throughout the West Coast con- vened to debate, re- solve and overcome "world problems" be- tween their assigned countries. Freshman Rona

tration of long hours of debate, students often spent afternoon hours at the nearby pool. As a senior, Mary Kay Lauth was pleased to see Santa Clara re- ceive more important countries than in years past. "Countries such as Syria and Bolivia were interesting," said Mary Kay, "but having France was prestiT gious." Mary Kay was also honored by an in- vitation to the comme- moratory U.N. simula- tion held held over

Meeting from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. was not uncommon; however, students were given freedom to take time out.

Pang said 160 countries were represented, of which Santa Clara sent delegates for three: France, Ireland and the island country of Barbados. Rona repre- sented France, one of five countries on the security council with the United States, Eng- land, the Soviet Union and China. Different sets of countries met with one another in separate locations, but since there were very few western block na- tions within Rona's

BLUE JEANS TO BUSINESS SUITS

Students research careers in order to appeal to prospective employers.

At the start of fall quarter, many ambi- tious seniors substitut- ed their blue jeans for business suits and be- gan interviewing with prospective employers. These same ambitious seniors who did not know how to write re- sumes or figure out their career goals paid visits to the Career De- velopment and Place- ment Center.

Pat Swatfager-Haney and her staff at the Center sponsored workshops and ar- ranged appointments to help students plan their careers. Ms. Swatfager-Haney said that the department's goal was "to teach the students how to orga- nize their career goals and make contacts with employers."

Over 115 companies, ranging from IBM,

Macy's and Bank of America, participated in the winter/spring recruitment. Nearly 80 percent of the compan- ies that recruited on campus were interest- ed in business and en- gineering students. Ms. Swatfager-Haney said that "jobs were avail- able for liberal arts students, but the stu- dents may have had to look beyond campus recruitment to find them."

Although accounting students were still hop- ing for jobs with the "Big Eight" and engi- neers were not passing up interviews with IBM and Hewlett Packard, there was an increased interest in small to medium sized firms. The smaller firms offered fewer en- try-level positions, but once accepted, the stu- dent had a better

chance of advance- ment. Students felt that Silicon Valley was the best place to work; they preferred staying close to home.

Companies were still looking for students with impressive grades, however, they were also interested in, according to Ms. Swat- fager-Haney, "how well you've done your homework." Employers were looking for stu- dents who had planned their career goals and researched the struc- ture of the company.

As Ms. Swatfager- Haney said, "Santa Clara has a good repu- tation among business- es, and graduates are doing well in the job market."

Career Choices Abound for Majors in all Fields of Study

E

very college student has been guilty of overusing the common phrase, "What's your major?" It served as an "introductory cushion" for shy freshmen, a "conversation piece" for sophomores, a "concerned thought" for juniors, and, for some seniors, a "panic stricken moment." At SCU, one may pursue a liberal arts degree (which was the most popular), a busi- ness degree (which was second in line), or an engineering degree (the third choice). Whichever major you selected, you were as-

sured of engaging in enlightening discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of your choice with peo- ple who both agreed and disagreed with that field of study.

Perhaps the most no- table opinions about majors were evident on the men's room stalls in Orradre Library. Opinions, like "Busi- ness majors are narrow minded," "Engineers are nerds," or "Liberal Arts majors have no purpose in life," were scrawled across the stalls. Of course, these discussions were good entertainment, and perhaps they did voice

feelings about the rela- tionships between SCU's different schools and colleges.

The Career Develop- ment and Placement Center boasted, "We've had several re- cruiters tell us that the present interviewing class is the most pre- pared, most profession- al, and best directed class they've seen in years." And in many cases the school or col- lege from which the student graduated didn't influence the re- cruiters' comment.

Credit was due to all students, because by year's end graduates in all majors were finding

work. The Engineering School graduates land- ed the highest paid en- try-level jobs upon graduation, with sala- ries ranging up to $28,000. The business graduates were equally successful with salaries averaging $22,000. And, yes, liberal arts majors were finding jobs this year at an in- creasing rate, with sal- aries ranging from $12,000 to $20,000. In fact, the most recent trend in the famed "real world" was the demand for liberal arts majors in traditionally business-oriented jobs.

You signed up three weeks before and the big day finally came ... an interview with the company that you had wanted to work for since you were a little kid. You pulled your navy blue suit, still in its bag from the cleaners, out of the closet and polished your wing-tip shoes. Before leaving the house you grabbed your folder filled with references and your re- sume, took one last look in the mirror to make sure that you looked "just right," meaning conservative, and headed out. On the way to the interview your hands shook and you thought about all of the questions that they could ask and tried to think of intelli- gent answers that would show your true abilities.

The nervous flutters in your stomach were nothing when com- pared to the sinking feeling you had as you walked into the inter- view cubicle and were confronted by your prospective employer. You kept telling your- self to calm down, but with each question the room seemed to get hotter and smaller. You felt the sweat break-out on your fore- head and on your palms. The interviewer hit you with the classic questions . . . What are your best qualities? What are your worst

qualities? What is your career goal? And, last but not least, the dread ed — What is your g.p.a.? You struggled through each question and couldn't figure out why it was so much easier to answer them when you were alone in front of the bath- room mirror.

You made it through the interview only to find out that there was just one position avail- able and that you were the 100th person inter- viewed. You wondered about your chances for being chosen; wouldn't the last person inter- viewed be best remem- bered? You told your friends that the inter- view had gone "O.K."

You thought the in- terview was the hard part, but after sending your thank-you letter you waited. One week, then two. After three weeks you chalked up the interview as a learning experience and headed back to the Career Development and Placement Center to line up a new "les- son." This time your tie would be straight and the interviewer would remember your smile and brilliant an- swers over all of the other people.

Like the deodorant commercial said, "Let them know you're in- terested and convince them that you'd be a great employee, but never let them see you sweat." And eventually you will get a job.

The Women's Center "tried to reach as many students as it could," according to Sylvia Lo- pez, a psychology ma- jor and staff member of the Women's Center.

Sylvia explained that members of the staff visited individual hall floor meetings to introduce the Center's staff to resident stu- dents. The Women's Center also sponsored an "R.A. Dinner" where the participants brainstormed about ac- tivities for the year, in- cluding possible discus- sions about sexuality, health, and relation- ships.

"The twofold pur- pose of the Women's Center," said Sarah Dennison, a graduate Law student and Assis- tant Director, "was to act as an activities and support center for women on the Santa Clara campus and also as a resource and re- ferral service for all students."

The Center conduct- ed workshops useful to students in their daily lives including ones concentrating on alco- holism, sexuality, and auto mechanics, which, said Sylvia, "the wom- en students seemed to enjoy a lot." Besides

acting as a support ser- vice, the Women's Center also maintained a well-stocked library of books, magazines, and studies concerning women's issues.

"Anyone was free to come and use our re- sources," said Sylvia, "but I think there was a lot of prejudice among men. Ms. Denni- son pointed out the two main reasons why many people did not use the resources: "The first problem was that people didn't know we were here. The second difficulty was that the general conception of what a Women's Center does was narrowly defined in people's minds. They didn't think our services applied to them."

The Women's Center had many goals, which included strengthening ties with the Women's Studies Program. In Ms. Dennison's opinion, "even though they (the Women's Studies Pro- gram) concentrated on the aspects (of wom- en's issues), we are more actively orient- ed." And with this ori- entation SCU's Wom- en's Center brought a greater awareness of women's issues to the University.

SCU becomes aware of world poverty through

EXPOSURE TO THE PROBLEM

by

Lavaroni

Education has been touted as the source for changing what is wrong in the world. The University of San- ta Clara sponsored dis- cussions, exhibits, films, and workshops comprising an "Insti- tute," designed to raise the level of conscious- ness about a relevant, social issue.

The Institute on Pov- erty and Conscience was no less stimulating than the two previous Institutes and seemed even more relevant with the worldwide concern over the fa- mine in Ethiopia.

University President William Rewak, S.J., said at the announce- ment of the topic for

the third annual Insti- tute, "We have an obli- gation to our students: to confront their con- sciences with the fact of poverty."

A planning commit- tee of faculty, staff, and students set out to accomplish the task of encouraging awareness by arranging for guest speakers, organizing informational faires and workshops, and gathering films and ex- hibits, as well as set- ting up 33 department- al courses ranging through several disci- plines.

Highlighted speakers in the month of Janu- ary were Cesar Cha- vez, President of the United Farmworkers of America, and Julian

Bond, State Senator from Georgia, whose topics were "Poverty and the Plight of the Farm Worker" and "Politics and Poverty," respectively. Christina Pehl, sophomore, who attended both the Cha- vez and Bond lectures said of the Institute, "It's enlightening for those of us who are in a position to help vic- tims of famine and to change their plight."

In light of the trage- dy in Ethiopia, the In- stitute on Poverty and Conscience was not only timely, but neces- sary in the education of many SCU students who have not exper- ienced poverty abroad or in their own com- munities.

ANTIDOTES TO POVERTY

The Institute on Poverty and Conscience helped students ex- plore possible ways to alleviate poverty. Among the quarter's events was a panel dis- cussion about "Food, Energy and the Poli- tics of Global Poverty," led by Dennis Gordon, Ph.D., of the Political Science Department. Also participating in the discussion were William Eisenger, Ph.D., and Howard Reissen, Ph.D., of the Biology Department and Richard Pefley, of Mechanical Engineer- ing.

Doctors Eisenger and Gordon and Mr. Pefley, who team-taught "Con- structive Alternatives to Destructive Weap- onry" during the In- stitute on War and Conscience, drew upon their expertise and ex- perience from the past institute in their explo- ration of global pover- ty. Although they de- scribed new develop- ments in the world of energy and food pro- duction which could prove useful in the de- velopment of third world countries, their optimism about solu- tions to poverty was muted. Each em- phasized that there were considerable limi- tations to progress. Drs. Eisenger and Reissen argued that many factors, such as

climate and terrain, will never be con- trolled by any society. Dr. Gordon pointed out that political struggles within each country could also hinder pro- gress. Each speaker urged the audience to approach the problem realistically.

They also stressed the need for interdisci- plinary cooperation. Drs. Eisenger and Gor- don and Mr. Pefley ar- gued that there had to be extensive coopera- tion between the disci- plines in approaching either the problem or potential solutions.

Afterward, junior Dorio Barbieri ex- pressed his amazement at the complexity of the issues. "While I re- alized that the problem of world poverty would be difficult to ap- proach, I didn't realize that so many barriers and considerations ex- isted," Dorio said.

Senior Biology major Rami Zarnegar left the discussion feeling that "there really is a need for the political scien- tists, biologists, sociolo- gists and engineers to cooperate." He con- cluded, "While I never thought that my major had anything in com- mon with any other major, after seeing this it is great to realize that there is not only room, but a need, for our cooperation."

The de Saisset Museum Hosts New Programs, Artists, Exhibits and Events To Increase Visibility

de Saisset's New Image

by

Joan

Raspo

Newly appoint- ed museum di- rector, Geor- giana Lagoria, M.A., was no stranger to the de Saisset. For five years, Ms. Lagoria was assistant director under Brigid Barton, Ph.D. As director, Ms. La- goria said, "I'm trying to continue what Bri- gid already started, which is to increase the visibility of the museum not only on- campus, but off, too." Winter quarter the museum presented "Twentieth Century American Folk Art," an exhibit which dis- played the work of na-

ive artists from impov- erished or rural back- grounds. Ms. Lagoria commented that "Link- ing up with the Insti- tute by scheduling the exhibit on folk art pro- vided something for everyone and was an opportunity to learn." However, the most successful special events were the Tues- day evening wine and cheese receptions for the major exhibits. "Tuesday nights were chosen to put focus on students and faculty," said Ms. Lagoria. "I've noticed that students are coming to look at the exhibits more than

just coming to party," she added.

Ms. Lagoria's imme- diate goal was for the de Saisset to become more visible. For the future, she said, "We are concentrating on building and redefining our collection."

While the de Saisset remained a small, ex- hibit-oriented museum, Ms. Lagoria used her expertise to expand its popularity and to draw a larger, more diverse group of people. As a result, the museum at- tracted the attention of university students and also of the wider Santa Clara community.

Preserving The Past By Collecting History

Deep in the heart of Orradre Library was a treasury of Santa Clara history. The University archives maintain a continuously growing record of the beginnings and changes of the Santa Clara Mission, College, and University.

The responsibility of the Archives was to preserve these records and make them available to the public. Perhaps the oldest items are those from the first Mission, established in 1777. Records of births, baptisms, deaths, and marriages were kept by the early Franciscan padres and continue to help family historians and scholars. The Archives also preserved docu-

ments legalizing the College of Santa Clara in 1851, the original charter and property deed, letters about the early administration of the Jesuits, and the declaration of the University name.

Besides preserving collections, the Archives sponsored an open house for students. As a way of enhancing student awareness of the treasures, student leaders were invited to special viewings of the material. Additional items on dis- play included letters to parents from turn of the century students, photographs of the campus and students during World War I and programs and paraphernalia from various campus events of the past.

The Archives was also con- cerned with acquiring the records from all present transactions, ac- tivities, and events. All projects and paperwork of University per- sonnel, faculty, administrators, and student organizations eventually found their way down the long hallway to the Archives, architec- tural plans and the original propos- als, such as those for the Benson addition, were included.

The University of Santa Clara and the Mission were sites of his- torical wealth. And SCU's archi- vists, Julie O'Keefe and Gerald McKevitt, S.J., had the technical know-how and the willingness to preserve that tradition of history.

Anti-apartheid feelings aired on campus promote

EDUCATION THROUGH AWARENESS AND ACTION

It all began with the words "Stop Apartheid-Do Something About It Now!" hastily scrawled on typing paper and posted in conspicuous places. Spring quarter, students and faculty began to voice their opinions about the ra- cial discrimination in South Africa.

A small group of stu- dents, faculty and staff — hence the name, S.F.S. Against Apart- heid — charted out four basic goals as fol- lows: 1) To educate the SCU community to the apartheid issue. 2) To obtain the University investment portfolio and see if the Universi- ty had investments in South Africa. 3) If the University had invest- ments in South Africa then bring about dives- titure. 4) To link with similar organizations in the Bay Area.

Deciding on the four major goals gave S.F.S.A.A. a focus. The group then began the planning of Anti- Apartheid Week. This week centered on five days of films and lec- tures designed to edu- cate SCU to the apart- heid issue. Another de- cision was the planning of a noon-time rally on the steps of the Mis- sion Church, and a "pass book" procession to the president's of- fice.

S.F.S.A.A sent a let- ter to president Wil- liam Rewak, S.J., re-

questing the Universi- ty portfolio and divest- ment from all corpora- tions directly or indi- rectly involved in pro- moting the "white" South African govern- ment. The University refused. No organiza- tion, not even the Board of Trustees, had ever had access to the University portfolio; and Fr. Rewak felt that divestment would not bring an end to apartheid,

Despite the fact that the ultimate goal of the group, divestment, was far from being realized, there were many victo- ries: an estimated 300 people turned out for the rally and formed a procession to place pass books in the presi- dent's office. Approxi- mately 500 people signed a petition call- ing for SCU to divest; and the group won a meeting with the Board of Trustees.

To many S.F.S.A.A. members there were even greater victories. Gary Okihiro, Ph.D., di- rector of Ethnic Stud- ies, noted, "Our great- est success came in terms of education, making students, facul- ty and administration face the issue of apart- heid."

Senior Arian Ardie concluded with the thought that "more im- portant than the actual result (divestment) is the process of standing up for our moral con- victions."

ERROR:

The Message That Most Computer Programmers Fear

Computers, especially personal computers, continued to be a part of the curriculum at Santa Clara. Besides the typical computer use in the Engineering and Computer Science Departments, computers were also making their way into math and English classes.

In the fall of 1984, Fred White, Ph.D. began using computers in his Advanced English Composi- tion class. Revising suddenly became a much simpler task for students, who began working in the

IBM PC lab. A few" minutes on the com- puter keyboard saved hours of rough draft rewriting. After editing the final draft on the computer, students simply commanded the computer to print the paper and within mo- ments it was ready to be placed in the hands of Dr. White. The greatest advantage of the computer print was that it was "always neat," Dr. White con- cluded.

Frank Farris, Ph.D., also found a special use for computers in his

Differential Equations class. Computer graph- ics helped the students visualize some impor- tant concepts. For in- stance, how can an in- structor show heat dis- tribution changing over time on a chalk- board? How can an in- structor change periods of sine and cosine waves on a chalk- board? The answer, as Dr. Farris explained, was that these types of dynamics could only be visualized on a comput- er display. These com- puter generated graph- ics made a great con-

tribution to his stu- dents' understanding of the course.

Computers also quickly found their place in the student dorms. An estimated fifty computers were being used in the dorms and apartments. Resident Director of Campisi Hall, Terilynn Perez, owned an Apple Macintosh computer and planned to use it while working on her MBA and law degrees at Santa Clara. Besides using the computer for her papers, she used the Macintosh for com-

puter concepts, deci- sion science, and statis- tics classes. Terilynn noted, "The Macintosh is user-friendly."

What lies in the fu- ture? Many students and faculty support a dorm-to-IBM PC lab hook-up or office-to- IBM PC lab hook-up. Such a network would have an expensive price tag. But the growing need for com- puters in the class and dorm rooms should en- courage the possibility of this network being established.

Staring in- quisitively into the computer screen, Greg Dalchcr waits to see if he suc- cessfully ran his pro- gram. To compete in the com- puter revo- lution, a second computer lab was in- stalled in Kenna Hall.

To be or not to be, that was the question . . . or shall we say, the controversy. Hotly de- bated by administra- tors, as well as stu- dents, was the proposal to create a communica- tion department by the fall of '86. Under re- view since November '84, the proposal was examined by the Uni- versity Academic Af- fairs Committee, which finally approved the plan on March 11.

The proposal was ini- tiated by Tom Shanks, S.J., and John Privett, S.J., both of the The- atre Arts Depart- ment. It required com- munication majors to take 14 courses to gra- duate with a general

Debate goes on over the desirability of creating a new course for arts majors.

degree in communica- tion with an emphasis in either journalism or television.

Fr. Shanks felt that a separate department for communication was vital in a student's overall understanding of a professional com- municators' role in soci- ety. "We think," said Fr. Shanks, "that right now we're just con- cerned with the prod- uct or the making of the product, without understanding more about the theory and the much broader con- text within which the product operates."

James Degnan, M.A., a member of the Aca- demic Affairs Commit- tee and perhaps the most vocal opposer of

the proposal, disagreed. Mr.Degnan felt that add- ing a communication department would only dilute and vocationalize SCU's curriculum. "Communication will take majors away from the traditional arts, and I believe SCU should be dedicated to offering an education in the traditional arts and sciences," said Mr. Degnan.

Fr. Shanks was con- fident that the ap- proved department would be open to stu- dents next fall. "We will start next year with freshmen and sophomores," said Fr. Shanks "The lower di- vision requirements are already being of- fered, except for one,

and almost all of the teachers are already hired."

Joseph Subbiondo, M.A., Dean of the Col- lege of Arts and Sci- ences, supported the department and be- lieved it would im- prove the University as a whole. "It will make Santa Clara more attractive to quality students who would have gone elsewhere to get a communication major," he said in a May 16 article in The Santa Clara.

The Board of Trust- ees made the final ap- proval of SCU's Com- munication Department on May 15.

the $50 million drive

Over The Top

by

Chris

Stampolis

Surpassing its goal of $50 million, the Campaign for Santa Clara ended its five- year fund drive on schedule.

According to Eugene Gerwe, Vice-President for Development, the Campaign for Santa Clara was publicly an- nounced in October, 1981, but received $20 million in advance do- nations. Mr. Gerwe said the Campaign more than doubled the endowment fund of the University and allowed SCU to begin construc- tion on four projects: the renovation of Ben- son Memorial Center (1983-85), restoration of the Adobe Lodge Fac- ulty Club (1981), ex- pansion of Daly Sci- ence Center (1984), and a new Engineering Center (1984-86).

After the Campaign ended, the endowment fund held more than $50 million, and the in- terest was used to sup- plement the University budget. Mr. Gerwe stressed the impor- tance of the fund as a "guaranteed source of income," because stu- dent tuition covered only 70 percent of the cost needed to educate each student.

Two projects origin- ally planned to be in- cluded in the Cam- paign were redesignat- ed as separate projects. Expansion of the Law Library was funded

through separate dona- tions. And the pro- posed construction of a Humanities Center near the intersection of Franklin and The Ala- meda was postponed, because the property had not been acquired by the University.

With the Campaign for Santa Clara suc- cessfully finished, Mr. Gerwe began work on four smaller fund drives. The Law Li- brary needed $2.5 mil- lion to complete the first of two renovation phases. The Agribusi- ness program planned to raise $3 million over five years. SCU also planned more re- sources for the Engi- neering Center and a $2 million endowment for the Athletic De- partment, to ensure scholarships would continue to be avail- able.

"The Campaign for Santa Clara has shown that the alumni and friends of SCU can pro- vide the larger amount of funds that the Uni- versity needs for its growth," said Mr. Gerwe. "After the re- route of the Alameda is completed, there will be new needs which will serve as a basis for future campaigns." The re-route is sched- uled to be completed in 1987.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

MPROVE SCU's STATUS

Student excel- lence was mea- sured by the combination of aca- demic performance and extracurricular in- volvement. In admit- ting new students, the Admissions Office strove only to maintain high standards, but also to improve the al- ready high quality of SCU's student body. For the 1984-85 school year SCU accepted 65 percent of its appli- cants and Greg Galati, admissions counselor, considered the appli- cant pool to be "excep- tional." The average SAT score for SCU freshmen was 573 for Math and 502 for ver- bal. These numbers soared above the na- tional averages for col- lege-bound students which were 468 for Math and 428 for Ver- bal.

High school involve- ment in community or extracurricular activi- ties was also important to the Admissions Of- fice.

It was hoped that many of those students who participated in ex- tracurricular activities in high school would continue to participate

at the University level. However, for many students, participation wasn't easy. "My classes always come first," commented sophomore Christine Nyhart, "It was easier to be involved during high school. Now it seems as if I'm always preoccupied with my studies."

On the other hand, senior Bart Lally said, "When I was a fresh- man, I played water polo, worked and joined a fraternity. It was tough at the be- ginning, but I dealt with it. Most people at Santa Clara are willing to deal with a little ex- tra pressure."

Senior Felicia Den- ault agreed that study habits developed over the years. Felicia ad- ded, "At SCU, students learned how to budget their time so that they didn't have to spend it on all-nighters."

Participation in ath- letics as well as in in- tellectual endeavors rounded out the stu- dent body. Participa- tion in these activities not only improved the individual but it also added to the overall quality of SCU as well.

THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS IN THE ENGINEERING SCHOOL

by

Kathleen

Coady

Santa Clara's School of Engi- neering is a highly respected insti- tution, especially with- in the Silicon Valley area. Its high standards and demanding pro- grams have produced many top-notch gradu- ates. However, two of its programs, Computer Science and Da Vinci, remained unaccredited in 1985.

Accreditation is the process by which an academic institution is recognized as maintain- ing certain educational standards. It is espe- cially helpful in deter- mining how a universi- ty or department with- in that university mea- sures up against others of its kind. The ac- creditation board serves as a medium to bridge the gap of di-

versity between uni- versities and assures a certain consistency of quality among institu- tions.

It must be taken into consideration, though that this standard is simply a means of es- tablishing conformity among educational in- stitutions and that ac- creditation, or lack there of, is not neces- sarily an accurate mea- sure of the quality of a certain program. Both the computer science engineering major and the Da Vinci Program were examples of this.

The Da Vinci Pro- gram was designed for students who desired a thorough background in engineering but wished to expand their education to include more emphasis in hu- manities and social sci-

ences.

According to Ken- neth Haughton, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Engineering, the diver- sity of the Da Vinci program precludes its ability to fulfill all class requirements nec- essary for accredita- tion. In certain situa- tions the advantage of- fered by this type of program would far outweigh the need for official recognition.

The computer sci- ence engineering major was a different type of case. According to Dean Haughton, com- puter science engineer- ing was a relatively new major when it was reviewed by A.B.E.T. (Accreditation Board for Engineering) in 1983 and it was de- clined accreditation be- cause they felt the ma-

jor had not had time to develop sufficiently. Dean Haughton ex- pects another visit in Fall 1986 at which time accreditation seemed more likely.

One concern regard- ing the lack of accredi- tation was what kind of impact this had on the chances of a gra- duate seeking employ- ment. Dean Haughton's reply was "almost none." He viewed the accreditation process as "a good standard of measurement" from which to judge where improvements may be necessary, but, as far as employers are con- cerned, especially those in this area, most rely on the favorable reputation of the school as a whole.

Although the Computer Science and Da Vinci programs are not yet accredited, Kenneth Haughton, Ph.D., the Dean of the Engineering School, feels that they will be accredited in the fall of 1986.

Due to an increase in enrollment the Engineering School is expanding its facilities with a three story building.

SCU Presents Polished Image And Shines in New Recruitment Campaign

The Board of Trustees formally adopts 'Santa Clara University' as the official University name and ends confusion with other institutions. In addition, the University produces a commercial and a mini-documentary of campus sights for use on television and in high school recruiting.

It was halftime during the televised broad- cast of the NIT bas- ketball tournament, and the Broncos were resting after a tough quarter against Fresno State. Sud- denly a strange commer- cial popped onto the TV screen. Palm trees, the Mission Church, Bannan Hall and even Joe from your chemistry class were seen on national TV. Your eyes were not fooling you; this one minute commer- cial about Santa Clara was just one of the new ways that the administration had chosen to promote SCU.

In 1984, Santa Clara was recognized as a top rank- ing college by three major college guides: Peterson's, New York Times and 100 Top Colleges. In order to keep up the ranking tradi- tion, the University worked to upgrade its im- age and its recruiting tools.

After two years of de- bate in the faculty senate and the student senate, the Board of Trustees fi-

by Lisa Varni

nally decided to choose an official name by which to call the University. Presi- dent William Rewak, S.J., and Vice President of De- velopment Gene Gerwe both pushed for "Santa Clara University" to be used as the official name on all University docu- ments. The debate ended in May when it was decid- ed that the name, "Univer- sity of Santa Clara," was confused with the UC sys- tem and had the same ab- breviation as the Universi- ty of Southern California (USC). Paul Carter, a graphic arts consultant, was hired to design a new logo for all University let- terheads.

An outside artist and de- signer also helped to put together an impressive brochure for the Universi- ty. "The copy and photos were outdated and showed the 'old Santa Clara,' " said Ken Cool of the Develop- ment Office. "It didn't market Santa Clara as we hoped. So we worked for a more professional look that would better show

the caliber of the students and the caliber of the pro- grams."

In addition to the more uniform and professional look of the catalog and brochure, the Admissions Office produced a 10-min- ute film to be shown at college fairs and college nights. Ann Collins, also of the Development Office, commented that the film was well-received and "showed Santa Clara's pic- ture to the rest of the world."

After being in this pic- ture prospective freshmen had a chance to "Be Our Guest" by spending a few days at the University. Over 100 students were immersed in the SCU "ex- perience" by attending classes, sleeping in the dorms, and eating in Ben- son cafeteria.

By updating its recruit- ing material and by intro- ducing high school seniors to its programs, the Uni- versity underwent a series of positive changes which gave way to a more accu- rate, professional image.

New Form And Substance

SCU adds new department, computer labs and other facilities, updating the University's internal and external appearance.

SCU underwent major physical and academic changes throughout 1984-85.

Two of the most no- ticeable physical changes were the Ben- son Center renovation and the installation of IBM personal comput- ers in both Kenna Hall and Orradre Library. While the reactions to these changes varied, most students kept complaints to a mini- mum in anticipation of future benefits.

The Benson Center renovation included a new bookstore, the ASUSC offices in the basement, and the Bob Shappell Lounge. In- convenience was re- placed with the satis- faction of having an or- ganized, uncramped bookstore, spacious of- fices for University clubs and an attractive lounge featuring eight

individual headphone outlets which allowed students to listen to al- bums, cassette tapes and radio stations.

The installation of an additional 150 IBM-PCs helped many students improve their school- work. Roughly half of all SCU undergrad- uates took at least one class that included computer technology. Many additional stu- dents learned to use the University's word- processing software on their own. Sometimes these novices lost en- tire papers and pro- grams with the slip of a quivering finger. But Cheryl Kaiser, senior English major, noted the advantage of using computers for school- work. "By being ex- posed to computers at SCU you gain a defi- nite advantage in the workforce, especially in the Silicon Valley

area.

Santa Clara also ex- perienced major aca- demic changes. Stu- dents and faculty need- ed to adjust to the dou- ble major/minor pro- gram and the approval of the Communication Department.

The double major/ minor issue sparked concern among the ad- ministration. Academic vice president Paul Lo- catelli, S.J., noted that a double major within the School of Business restricted the number of non-business elec- tives a student could take and violated ac- creditation standards. SCU also had to adjust to the establishment of the Communication Dept. Assistant profes- sor Thomas Shanks, S.J., co-author of the department proposal, told The Santa Clara, "We do not believe SCU students have the

opportunity to study in depth the current, rap- id changes in mass communication." Fac- ulty in both English and Theatre Arts De- partments, however, expressed concern that the Communications Dept. would pull stu- dents away from their departments. With the addition of a communi- cation major, however, Santa Clara could now compete with universi- ties such as USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley and Stanford for in- coming undergraduates

The changes at SCU involved not only stu- dents, but faculty and administration as well. Fortunately, most peo- ple at SCU realized change was something to be welcomed rather than resisted. Change may have threatened some, but offered most students at Santa Clara new opportunities.

DIFFERENCE

j/m ctivities to break the mind away from intel- £ m lectual pursuits came in plentiful and cre- ative forms. Many students fled the library and classrooms to cram themselves into Kennedy Mall and dance to the music of local bands. Others worked with their dorm floors to organize "Screw-Your-Roommates" held at places like 11th floor and the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Airbands, too, drew crowds of students as the musically in- clined imitated their favorite musicians. And the fraternities and sororities, like Sigma Alpha Epsi- lon, Sigma Pi and Alpha Chi Omega, lured many to their social functions. ASUSC also played its part by sponsoring events like Bronco Bust.

Social activities, however, weren't the only ones to which students were drawn. Many made com- mitments to one or more of the dozens of organi- zations on campus like SCCAP, Campus Ministry and the student media. Those that chose to be- long became R.A.s, project coordinators, editors, Senators, and committee chairpeople. And by tak- ing on these positions they were able to gain ex- perience while influencing and changing the Uni- versity.

These students were able to make a difference in both their social circles and the University community as a whole. And it was this ability that would position them for greater responsibil- ity in the future.

This Orientation event included pictures of the freshmen mov- ing in, and was one of many activities planned by Associate Dean of Students Les- lie Halel and a volun- teer student steering committee.

Led by Ms. Halel, the orientation staff consisted of eight steering committee members and 92 orien- tation advisors (OAs). Ms. Halel and the steering committee spent many hours over the summer planning activities and the OAs prepared themselves with a four day work- shop.

When the freshmen and transfer students arrived, they were di- vided into small groups of about ten people. An OA was assigned to each group. The groups met throughout Orientation to discuss registration, involve- ment opportunities and

Summing up the suc- cess of Orientation, Rob Chamberlin, fresh- man psychology major, observed that "Orien- tation provided a good, relaxed atmosphere where you could meet other people and not be uptight. All the OAs I talked to made me feel at home."

IS THE WAITING WORTH THE MANY PROBLEMS?

by

Joan

Raspo

Living in the dorms has always been a vital aspect of the college experience. How- ever, a growing number of students were de- prived of the "on-cam- pus" experience. Helen Daley, Housing Coordina- tor of Operations, con- firmed the "greater de- mand for housing this year than last." Ms. Da- ley suggested that diffi- culty to obtain off-cam- pus housing forced upper- classment to remain on campus.

Students who were de- nied housing complained

that they were discrimi- nated against. The Office of Housing and Residence Life's selection process, separating students into two categories — eligible and ineligible — was de- termined by zip code.

However, once on cam- pus, many students found dorm life no picnic. Be- cause of the housing shortage, ineligible stu- dents began "tripling-up" with eligible friends. Kemo Winterbottom, who was denied housing, moved in with two friends. "I'm sick of liv- ing out of a suitcase and

sleeping on the floor," he said.

Swig residents had more to worry about than mere human addi- tions to rooms. Plagued by cockroaches, Swig had such a severe bug prob- lem that it was fumigated over Christmas break. "I understand that living on campus had its problems as well. I don't know what's worse," declared Kemo, "living without friends at home, or living in claustrophobic condi- tions with them."

New appliances in McLaughlin kitchen are part of the housing renovations taking place in the dorms. Microwave ovens, refrigerators, newly installed sinks and cabinets can be used by students by reservation.

* • /\ wesome declared sophomore Ann Howard when asked about the renovations completed in McLaughlin and Campisi. Many stu- dents, overwhelmed by the complete overhaul of the two dorms, echoed similar responses.

The changes made to the dorms included not only painting the halls and changing the draper- ies, but also complete sets of new furniture for both dorm rooms and lounges. "I lived in McLaughlin last year and the new bunk beds and desks really added a touch of class to the place," remarked sopho- more Raymone Myares.

The renovations were necessary as students who lived in the dorms last year complained "the draperies were in shreds" and "the color scheme was depressing." Sub- stantiating these claims, Campisi resident Lisa Ma- rie Lombardi commented, "the rooms were pretty raunchy last year — there were holes in the walls and the ceiling was disgusting."

The repairs were nec- essary according to for- mer Dean of Students George Giacomini who speculated, "that neither McLaughlin nor Campisi had received more than

minor repairs since their construction."

After the painting and replacing of furniture, students began to feel a definite sense of pride to- wards their newly refur- bished homes. "The cheery atmosphere made me want to go back to my room after classes," said Ann. Because ev- erything was new, it only made sense that students took better care of their dorms. "It gives you a better attitude and made me more inclined to keep up my room," agreed ju- nior Carlos Cardon, a Campisi resident.

According to Charles Erekson, Ph.D., Dean of Students, the cost of the renovations was relative- ly low, and "the total cost to renovate both dorms was $350,000." Dr. Erekson dispelled any ru- mors about a renovation to Dunne and remarked, "No plans have been fi- nalized in regards to a Dunne renovation."

Although no new dorm renovations were sched- uled, the majority of stu- dents welcomed the pre- sent reconditioning. "It's a great change; they should do it to all the dorms," commented Car- los. The renovations to McLaughlin and Campisi were a positive step to- wards making dorm life more like home life.

Community Living Isn't Always a Kick

by Chris Stampolis

Bzzz. Biff reached across the bed to stifle the rude noise which had awakened him. But the dissonance would not stop — mainly because it came from next door. Day: Wednes- day. Time: 6:52 a.m. The health-crazed neighbors were at it again, and as Biff's head rang with the memory of last night's gathering, the wall vibrated to the count of a whirling jump- rope. Biff swung his body out of its warm co- coon into the chemically balanced air. It was win- ter which, of course, meant the heat was off.

In reaction to the below freezing temperature, Biff stumbled over an illegal- ly removed screen dis- guised as a rug. If noth- ing else, a warm shower was the goal for today.

Biff found this memo on the bathroom door:

"The water will be turned off today between the hours of 6 a.m. East- ern Standard Time and 10 p.m. in Zimbabwe in order to realign the resi- dence hall piping." The R.A.'s neatly fingerpaint- ed note continued, "This is subject to change if the moon rises in the sign of Scorpio and the Alameda reroute actually takes place."

"I hate life," muttered Biff. He crawled back to room 214 where the roommate was enthralled with a pair of toenail clippers. Biff was ready for another day in the dorm, and Biff was hungry.

The lovely Benson waitress proudly present- ed a choice of applezuc- chmi pancakes, leftover refried beans, and sau- sage and eggs. Biff stared at the sausage. The sau- sage moved. Biff drank a glass of concentrated or- ange juice and left the cafeteria.

Biff smiled. Another day had begun.

Although the clamor of the dorms was not always conducive to studies, some students preferred the relaxed atmosphere of their rooms to the library. Seated at his desk, Mike Latta prepares to do a little reading.

"Nope."

"Not even a little hint?"

"Uh, uh."

"Do I know him?"

"Maybe."

"Well, can you tell me whether he's a freshman, sophomore, junior or sen- ior?"

"One of those."

"This isn't fair! You have to tell me some- thing. How will I know what to wear? How tall is he? Should I wear heels or flats? Is he nice? Will I like him? Do I like him? Can he dance ... I don't know if I should have let you do this. I'm beginning to get ner- vous."

"Relax. Okay? I'm your roommate — trust me. . ."

Similiar conversations echoed throughout dorm hallways as the ever-pop- ular "Screw-Your-Room- mates" (SYRs) created panic. With themes like Stripes-n-Plaids, Black-n- White, and Famous Cou- ples, SYRs provided a chance to meet new peo- ple and, most important- ly, to have a good time.

Other popular floor functions were fund- raisers. One such exam- ple was first floor Swig's car wash. The floor made a profit of two hundred dollars, but the event was also a "good time to get to know each other," according to first floor resident, Mark Stoscher.

This enterprising spirit

led to competition be- tween dorm floors as well. For Valentine's Day both first and second floor Walsh lent Cupid a hand by selling and dis- tributing carnations. The venture proved success- ful and, according to first floor R.A., Robin Reece, "the girls made over one hundred dollars, but the most important thing was that they worked together as a community for something they wanted."

Overall, the goal of dorm-sponsored events was to create unity and spirit among the residents. The activities were most profitable in offering an opportunity to become better acquainted with floor and class mates.

Cleaning the toilet is part of the harsh reality of living off- campus for junior Tim Myers.

fter two years of living in a tiny dorm room, the majority of juniors and seniors took the big step and moved off campus. These upperclassmen dis- covered that apartment life had many advantages over life in the dorms. Apartments provided pri- vacy, space to relax and, most importantly, room to socialize.

Apartments offered many conveniences

which the

dorms lacked — not having to share a bath- room (and the hot water!) with dozens of floor- mates was a luxury. Having a kitchen was a

novel exper-

ience for many adventuresome chefs. While some roommates perpared large family- style meals almost every night, others, such as ju- nior Karen-Marie Reilly, resorted to quick trips to 7-11 for a ready-made burrito. Off-campus stu- dents agreed that even heating a can of soup was better than grappling with

crowds in Benson; how- ever, they missed Benson dining when the time came to wash dishes.

Messes in apartment kitchens tended to accu- mulate. According to Phil Jakowski, "It's easy to get lazy about cleaning because we have more room to spread our mess around."

Moving back in with "the folks" was another housing option open to students from around the

Students who lived in off-campus houses or apartments had a great time. They had more freedom (NO RA's!) than those who lived on cam- pus; yet, they had to

with land- lords, main- tenance, buying furni- ture and pay- ing exorbitant heating bills. Despite the disadvan-

tages, most

Greek Growth

Spurred by

New Attractions

by Catherine Long and Lisa Varni

Three bold letters representing loy- alty to a frater- nity or sorority adorned T-shirts, sweat-shirts, baseball caps, and gold pins. With the emer- gence of three new fra- ternities (Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Pi and Kappa Alpha Psi) and one new sorority (Alpha Chi Omega) the Greek system was growing at Santa Clara.

SCU's oldest fraterni- ty, Sigma Phi Epsilon, had been on campus for ten years and was opti- mistic about the in- creased interest in fra- ternities. Ed Machado, active member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said that "greater interest will cause expansion, and the increased competi- tion will promote stron- ger loyalties and a healthy rivalry."

Each fraternity of- fered students different benefits. The "Sig Eps" rushed a diverse group of members to create a chapter of various per- sonalities and back- grounds. Sigma Pi want- ed a more structured fraternity and selected only members who would benefit the frater-

nity. All of the fraterni- ties said the majority of their time was spent do- ing service for the com- munity and for their fra- ternity.

Since belonging to a fraternity was not for everyone, Alpha Phi of- fered SCU men the chance to be big broth- ers to their sorority — like the little sisters pro- gram offered by the fra- ternities. Alpha Phi member Kelly Stokes, commented that "big brothers would sponsor Alpha Phi events and host social gatherings."

The sudden "Greek growth" enabled the fraternities and sorori- ties to form a Greek council consisting of re- presentatives from each group. The council co- ordinated and organized all Greek actions in or- der to prevent conflicts, such as the scheduling of parties on the same night. The council was hoping to organize a "Greek Week" which would allow each frater- nity and sorority the chance to present them- selves to the students, and further spread the interest in the Greek system.

HOT SPOTS

by Camille Courey and Joan Raspo

The rigors of aca- demic life at SCU would hardly be tolerable were it not for the mind sustaining ha- vens to which students flocked. There, they em- pathized with each oth- ers' sorrows and drenched these griefs in an effort to transcend the world of reality.

If you simply wanted to shoot the bull over a quick meal, Bronco Cor- ral was the place. Fre- quented mainly by upper- classmen and graduate students, it offered rela- tively inexpensive food, speedy service and was a convenient place to stop for a cup of coffee and a group discussion.

Nevertheless, some stu- dents had more than just food on their mind. Ju- nior Lisa Richards com- mented, "I go there main- ly to scam on law stu- dents ... oh yeah, their onion rings are pretty good, too."

Also noted for its popu- larity among students was Sandwich King, lo- cated on Franklin Street behind the Alumni Sci- ence building. For stu- dents who frequented the place, George and his gang were familiar and friendly faces.

The aforementioned es- tablishments, respectable as they were, usually did not see the uninhibited SCU student. This en- chanting individual could be found frequently at the infamous Hut, located on the Alameda. The Hut was celebrated by these

fun-loving students for its relaxed atmosphere. "Let's go to the Hut" was not an uncommon expres- sion on campus day or night, weekend or week- day. Junior Mary Alice Gerwe summarized the sentiments of Hut goers, "I always remembered going in, but I never re- membered leaving ... it was the water, I think."

Lord John's, right across the way, was somewhat too upscale for most student carousers and was less popular. "I went there once, but it was mainly an over thir- ty set — I think a lot of teachers go there and the last thing I want to see when I party is a teach- er," commented junior Karen Fredrickson.

On Thursday nights El Torito in Vallco Shopping Center was the happenin' spot. From 10 p.m.-2:00 a.m. they sponsored a Happy Hour complete with pitchers of marguer- itas and a free taco bar.

Thursday's at El Torito was definitely not orga- nized for the academic-at- heart SCU student; how- ever, it was a good way to invent a three day weekend. "After a night here I can barely remem- ber my own name, but remembering to get up for class the next day . . . wow, that's asking too much," volunteered soph- omore Doug Davidovich.

What more can be said? Thank havens — and hangouts — for com- ic relief.

"SWATCH OUT" FOR THE LATEST TRENDS

Y

ou arrived home for summer vaca- tion and your mother asked the classic question, "What's new in college these days?" You answered "Not much," but for mom that was not an adequate response. She continued with the interrogation.

"So what did you kids do for fun?" You ex- plained (with a sigh) that fraternities on campus were notorious for spon- soring very long "hap-

py hours." You also told her about Thursday night trips to El Torito's. Of course, you didn't tell her that your definition of a party was ten kegs and a real party started with 20. And you certainly didn't tell her about the time you got busted at The Hut for using a fake I.D.

Next she screamed, "Why don't you throw away those faded 501 's? I hope you didn't wear those at school." Again

you patiently explained to her that 501 's were still in style only if they were faded and had holes in them — you calmed her down by telling her that your favorite outfit was a Forenza sweater, a wool scarf, Reebok tennis shoes and a Swatch.

"Come on now, I want some details!!" You rolled your eyes and told her about the money you donated to Ethiopia and about the nights you slept out in front of Re-

cord Factory waiting in line for Bruce Spring- steen and Prince concert tickets. You also told her about the boring nights when you sat at home watching MTV and play- ing the "Baby Boom" version of Trivial Pursuit.

"Don't you have any more stories?" she said. You replied, "No, mom, I've told you every- thing." (Well . . . almost everything.)

CRUISING

TO CLASS IN STYLE

Do you remember when every- one used to walk to school with bookbags on their backs and bag lunches in their hands?

Though many SCU students still walk to school, most have found alternate forms of transportation.

During the summer, many students took time out to fix-up their parents' old Schwinn cruisers. Pulling off the cob- webs, pumping up the tires, and polish- ing the chrome (being sure to leave a little rust for that worn look) was all it took to ride to school in style.

Not only were "cruisers" popular, but so were all types of bicycles. SCU was a bit un- prepared for the sudden "bicycle boom." Signs were posted in Benson Center announcing that, "Any bicycle locked inside of the building will be removed." To make room for all the bicycles, racks were installed throughout cam- pus.

Skateboards were more convenient because they did not need to be locked to a rack. The rider could easily ma- neuver the skateboard through crowds, and, unlike the bicycle, walk into class with the board under one arm.

A few long distance travelers were lucky enough to own fashionable scoot- ers. Classic motorcycles and dirt bikes gave way to the growing popularity of Honda motorscooters and Vespas with leopard-skin seats.

But with all these transportation re- sources, the majority of commuters re- lied on the ol' automobile. The parking problem seemed endless. Even the

three illegal parking spaces in Dunne parking lot were always filled by 9 a.m. and many car commuters were forced to park in Leavey or by the 7-Eleven on either side of campus. This situation then required another mode of trans- portation: the ol' legs. Many more feet took to the pavement, as the increas- ingly larger number of students living on or near campus walked to class.

Each student chose a form of trans- portation unique to his or her individ- ual needs. It didn't matter whether stu- dents walked, drove or wheeled to SCU as long as they made it to school on time.

Earning a few extra dollars to keep up with college expenses

ON THE JOB

When the reality of financial re- sponsibility hit SCU students and the for- tunes acquired over the summer had been practi- cally depleted, it became time for students to enter the part-time job market. A wide variety of em- ployment opportunities ex- isted on the Santa Clara campus. The hours and lo- cations of on-campus jobs were ideal for the student who had other responsibil- ities.

The cafeteria, run by Saga Foods Inc., employed about 150 — — - — — — — students per quarter. Stu- dents assist- ed in many aspects of food service, ranging from bussing trays to the actual man- agement of the cafete- ria.

Christine Nyhart, a sophomore physics ma- jor, who served breakfast on weekends in Benson felt that "working for Saga has been an invaluable ex- perience. I have learned a lot about the food man- agement industry in which I am deeply interested."

Pete Collins, a junior ac- counting major, was a ref- eree in the intramural sports program, and offi- ciated games four to six hours a week. "Besides al- lowing me to meet new and fun people, my work

provides a small income which I use for Account- ing Club dues and other extras," Pete said.

The SCU Alumni Orga- nization offered some of the most sought-after jobs on campus. Students worked at alumni social functions, participated in the phonathon money drive, and did office work. Joan O'Leary, a junior bi- ology major who worked for the alumni organiza- tion for three years, stated that "I believe that Santa Clara alumni are willing to help fellow Santa Clara

— — graduates. I

hope that the contacts I have made through the alumni orga- nization will help in my early ca- reer."

Other stu- dents chose to work in jobs more closely relat- ed to their academic fields of

study. As a

student grader for a thermodynamics class, ju- nior engineering major Si- mona Hodek saw another side of academic life. "Grad- ing assignments provides a student with a teacher's point of view," said Simona.

The libraries, post office and student media organiza- tions provided other part- time jobs. But, despite the value of an on-campus job, it was the harsh reality of dollars and cents that moti- vated most students to work.

The stress of college life sometimes built up to the point where it be- came difficult to turn to friends and family for help. The confidentiality and friendliness of the Counseling Office was of- ten an appealing alterna- tive to which students could turn.

Sue Shoff, Ph.D., Direc- tor of Counseling, stressed that "most stu- dents who come in to see us are really healthy, but are dealing with adult pressures."

In fact, it was just this transition to adulthood that caused many stu- dents to turn to the Coun- seling Center. Dr. Shoff also explained that there were very definite pres- sures related to choosing careers, leaving home, es- tablishing personal identi- ties and relationships, liv- ing with roommates and maintaining a balance be- tween academic and so- cial life.

Built in the shell of a former sardine factory, the Mon- terey Bay Aquarium of- fered old and young alike the opportunity to see, smell and feel active sea life from the Monterey coast. The aquarium's 83 tanks were home to more than 5000 fish, birds, ot- ters and marine plants. Visitors found a forty foot tall kelp forest to be a highlight of the day. However, the most popu- lar exhibit housed Cali- fornia sea otters and drew thousands of cus- tomers to the Monterey coast. "The feeding time was great," said one tour- ist. "They got active and we got to see them eat."

The aquarium was built with a $40 million gift from the David and Lu- cille Packard Foundation and was run by the Pack- ards' daughter Julie.

Attractions included a walk-through aviary, a 90 foot shark tank and other reflections of local sea life. Also an exhibit, enti- tled "The Tide Pools," showed the rise and fall of the daily tide. Each exhibit was dedicated to creatures from Northern California waters and most creatures lived nat- urally outside the aquar- ium in Monterey Bay.

If you can't drive well, don't drive at all. That was the message South Bay police sent dri- vers during the Christmas season in an effort to keep drunk and unlicensed dri- vers off the road.

The California Highway Patrol set up sobriety checkpoints two weeks before Christmas and ran- domly stopped vehicles to check the condition of the drivers. Although the American Civil Liberties Union protested the ran- dom stops as a violation of the Bill of Rights, the so- briety checkpoints stayed

in operation throughout December, and officers regularly caught drivers under the influence of al- cohol.

In addition, the San Jose Police Department im- pounded all cars driven by persons without valid li- censes. The vehicles were towed away and the unli- censed drivers were pro- vided with transportation to prevent them from be- ing stranded. However, the penalty for driving with a suspended license remained steep at up to one year in county jail.

In a final effort to keep

area roads safe, the Care- Unit of San Jose Hospital offered CareCab service for those partiers who had a bit too much holiday fun.

The free transportation was offered at public places throughout the Santa Clara Valley.

Reagan's Visit To West Germany Arouses Criticism

13 if- 1^1 if ST ^en ^ears After Fall Of Saigon

Controversy Reflections

On 'Nam Vets

May 8, 1985 marked the forty year anniver- sary of the surrender of the Germans in W.W. II. To commemo- rate this event and to symbolize forty years of post-war reconcilita- tion between the U.S. and Germany, Presi- dent Reagan, along with West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, made a visit to the Bitburg Cemetary in Germany. The wreath-laying ceremo- ny that took place there was intended to be an expression of the new bonds that had been formed between the W.W. II enemies without diminishing the importance of the unspeakable evils of the Holocaust. Howev- er, the balance be- tween these two ideals proved a precarious one. The wounds which Reagan had hoped to heal were painfully reopened.

Opposition to the vis- it was strong especially in the face of the an- nouncement that forty- seven members of the SS (the Third Reich's elite guard) were buried there. This fact

had been overlooked in the earlier White House inspection of the site and the results of the discovery were di- sastrous. Pleas from all sides came in for Rea- gan to cancel the visit but to do so, he be- lieved, would embar- rass Chancellor Kohl and endanger German- American relations. In addition he defended the proposed visit on the grounds that the German soldiers were as much victims of the war as were the Jew- ish. This further aroused the resentment in the Jewish commu- nity who retorted that, although the Germans certainly had suffered during the war and must bear the guilt and shame of their actions, any attempt to equate this with the terrible suffering of the Jews would minimize the magnitude of the Holo- caust.

What had begun as a symbol of goodwill and reconciliation quickly developed into a heat- ed controversy. The emotional anguish caused by the war was still present and easily

rekindled — even forty years later.

In 1985, ten years after the Fall of Saigon, American veterans still suffered the nightmare of Vietnam. The tenth Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon pro- voked much reflection on an issue repressed by the conscience of America: U.S. involve- ment in the Vietnam War and its devastat- ing effects on Ameri- can veterans.

The veterans, thrust into warfare at an average age of nine- teen, were flown home to be greeted not with parades, but with scorn and disgust. The veter- ans had been ignored as a group, perhaps be- cause Americans wished to avoid any- thing remotely associ- ated with the hellish Vietnam War. Unfortu- nately, this attitude greatly hindered, rath- er than helped, the veterans trying to readjust to society.

Post-war studies showed that one half of all veterans suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a men- tal state in which they

were unable to express their feelings. Vietnam veterans suffered, fre- quently, from night- mares and flashbacks, and many pursued self- destructive lifestyles sometimes leading to crime, drug abuse, or alcoholism. The war was still very much alive for Vietnam vet- erans, and some tried to reawaken the issue for the rest of the na- tion as well.

It was not until 1985 that Vietnam veterans finally received the recognition they de- served. On the tenth anniversary of the offi- cial end of United States involvement in Vietnam, veterans marched in New York City in the ticker-tape parade that should have welcomed them home ten years ago.

Americans finally ac- knowledged the trage- dy of its longest, most unsuccessful war, and the pain suffered by the veterans began to diminish. A greater awareness of that war may help us to avoid similiar conflicts in the future.

Tutu's Outcry Sparks Protests Across America

courtesy of Associated Press

Addressing an audience on the issue of apartheid in South Africa, the charismatic Bishop Desmond Tutu instills greater awareness in those not exposed to the daily injustices of apartheid.

Two More Murders Tied To Calaveras

Killer

Before South Af- rican Bishop Desmond Tutu was awarded the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, apartheid and its atroc- ities were relatively • unknown in America. When Tutu did accept the award, he did so on behalf of his suffering countrymen: "This award is for you fa- thers sitting in single- sex hostels, separated from your children for 11 months a year. This award is for you moth- ers in the squatter camps, whose shelters are callously destroyed every day and who sit in soaking mattresses in the winter rain hold- ing your whimpering babies. Your crime in this country is that you want to be with your husbands."

Tutu in a trip to the United States that in- cluded various speak- ing engagements on television and college campuses revealed the segregation policies of apartheid to the world.

Almost overnight apartheid became a front-page subject. News of riots and kill- ings shocked Ameri- cans. Most Americans were horrified to con- trast apartheid to U.S. racial policies.

At first, protests were small but effec- tive. Congressmen "sat in" on the steps of the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C. and Coretta Scott King passively resisted arrest.

Demonstrations spread to college cam- puses where students demanded divestment and the right to exam- ine university invest- ment portfolios. At both Stanford Univer- sity and UC Berkeley , students reacted to the injustices of apartheid; Berkeley held more than a month of sit ins in front of the adminis- tration building.

At SCU, students held a week of educa- tional meetings, films and demonstrations in an effort to enlighten the Santa Clara com- munity to the problems of apartheid.

Though SCU stu- dents were accused of hopping on the anti- apartheid band wagon, senior history major Dave Drummond called SCU's anti-apartheid rallies worthwhile. "If this so-called band- wagon is one of truth, justice and freedom," said Dave, "then I'm willing to ride, and I'm willing to pay a heavy fare."

Gift to Ethiopia project draws donations, criticism

The ASUSC "Gift to Ethiopia" Pro- ject, an idea initi- ated by senior senator and political science ma- jor Brendan O'Flaherty, began January 24th. It had a goal of $10,000 to be raised through individ- ual donations of up to ten dollars, a raffle featuring a trip for two to Hawaii,

and a dance. The drive ended one week later on January 31st with $5875.

Brendan first conceived the idea after viewing pictures of famine victims on television. Wondering what he could do to help, he thought of working through University chan- nels, namely the ASUSC Senate. Upon presenting

his idea to the Senate on January 13th, the project was unanimously en- dorsed. All money raised went to KRON-TV and Emergency Airlifts Inter- national which sent food and medical supplies to Ethiopia.

There were a few con- flicts over the project, however. Several stu-

dents objected to what they saw as a lack of genuine concern behind cash donations and the fact that the donation was exclusively to Ethio- pia. Many believed the money could better suit impoverished families in the Santa Clara Valley.

Super Bowl fever sweeps the S.F. Bay Area

As the San Fran- cisco 49er win to- tal grew, football fever spread throughout the Bay Area. And on January 20, 1985, the world championship re- turned to San Francisco.

Three years of plan- ning prepared Palo Alto and Stanford University for Super Bowl XIX, and, much to the delight of lo- cal gridiron fans, the Niners countered with the NFL's best record in history, at 18-1.

After Pittsburgh grabbed a 20-17 upset victory, the Niners never again finished on the los- ing side of the ledger.

Moreover, San Francisco won its remaining nine regular season games by an average of more than three touchdowns. This gave the squad an un- precedented home field advantage as they en- tered the playoffs against the Chicago Bears.

The Niners mauled the Bears 23-0 for the NFC Championship and the Bay Area was thrust into a full-fledged epidemic of Super Bowl fever. The media bombarded the public with statistics, pre- dictions, and features on players' private lives. Fans and entrepreneurs alike scrambled to obtain

Sun State Freeze

Eastern states shivered and citrus farmers cried as a disastrous cold wave hit the Atlantic coast of the United States.

summer fruit threatened the country.

Although Florida was never hit by the snow storms and arctic wind chills which January sent the northeastern states, three days of frost per- manently damaged one season's harvest of or- anges and grapefruit. Many farmers tried to warm the orchards artifi- cially, but heaters were not able to counteract the freezing temperatures.

Seepage link to defects denied

In January, the South San Jose neighborhood of Los Paseos awaited the results of a three- year study by the San- ta Clara County Health Department and the State Department of Health Services. The report was finally re- leased January 16 at a much-publicized press conference. According to the San Jose Mer- cury News, "the report (showed that) miscar- riages and birth defects in the Los Paseos neighborhood, along Highway 101 in the area around Bernal Road, occurred at rates two to three times higher than normal in 1980 and 1981." Allyn Stone of the San Fran- cisco Chronicle wrote, "Newborns in Los Pa- seos had holes in their hearts, low-set ears, webbed toes, Down's syndrome, cleft palate and deformed genitalia,

among other maladies." Stone continued, the study "could not link the chemical seepage at the fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp. directly to the health problems found (there)."

Many of the families of the afflicted children had sued Fairchild and the Great Oaks Water Company for personal injury claims. Fairchild continued to maintain that the "study sup- ported the company's position that the leak did not cause the birth defects or miscar- riages." Governor George Deukmejian set aside $625,000 in his proposed 1985-86 bud- get to continue the in- vestigation and hoped to provide answers for the many families whose children were born around the Los Paseos area.

Guards murder Indira Gandhi

On Wednesday, No- vember 7, 1984, at 9:08 a.m. a sixty- seven year old Indian woman met two of her trusted guards with the traditional "Namaste" (greetings to you). In re-

sponse to the internation- al greeting, Indira Gandhi received a bullet in her heart, three in her chest, and seven in her abdo- men. "Amma" (mother), as she was called by many of her countrymen.

was dead. Attempts by local doctors to revive her proved futile and at 1:45 p.m. cabinet mem- bers announced the news to an alarmed world.

Meanwhile, the trusted guards-turned-assassins surrendered, but were later killed in a skirmish at the guardhouse. These killers were members of a group of extremist Sikhs.

On the Saturday fol-

lowing Indira's death, her ashes joined those of her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, her son, Sanjay, and Ma- hatma Gandhi. Her son Rajif inherited the re- sponsibility of guiding the politically torn coun- try towards the peace his mother dreamed of. He was quoted by Time Mag- azine as saying, "Nothing would hurt (her) more than the occurence of violence."

Ferraro and Jackson make progress for women and blacks

CANDIDATES BRIDGE GAPS

The 1984 presidential campaign produced one of the biggest landslides ever, but prejudicial boundaries fell during the race itself. Although Ronald Reagan steamrolled Democratic challenger Walter Mondale, two Democratic candidates broke traditional lines with serious bids for the top offices in America. Jesse Jackson and Geraldine Ferraro helped the Democrats energize what was otherwise a Republican landslide from the beginning.

Although Rev. Jackson finished third in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the southern minister influenced the race by helping to add record numbers of black voters to the registers. Rev. Jackson was the first major black candidate to run for president. But while he largely broke ground for future generations. Mrs. Ferraro

was able to give women immediate respect in the political arena.

When Mr. Mondale chose the fiery New York congresswoman as his running mate, a debate over women's roles in politics spread through- out the country. Wom- en's groups had claimed recent strides toward equality, but Mrs. Fer- raro's nomination was the closest any female had ever come to the position of U.S. Commander-in- Chief.

The media made Mrs. Ferraro's campaign espe- cially difficult by empha- sizing her Italian-Catholic heritage, the fact she used her maiden name, and discrepancies in her husband's financial deal- ings.

Even though the race was a difficult one, the social ramifications of both Rev. Jackson's and Mrs. Ferraro's candidacies were almost as important as the outcome of the election.

'AIDS Epidemic' spreads, causing fear, panic and the resignation of health official

San Francisco's AIDS epidemic continued to spread and controversy over the means to control the disease led to the res- ignation of Mervyn Sil- verman, M.D., San Fran- cisco Director of Public Health.

Dr. Silverman succeed- ed in closing the city's gay bathhouses for part of 1984, but legal pro- ceedings allowed the es- tablishments to reopen. The bathhouses were be- lieved to be the primary locations for the spread of the disease, due to their reputation for casu- al sex, often between ho- mosexuals who had not met before. Although the order which allowed the bathhouses to remain open required owners to monitor the activities within, Dr. Silverman be- came frustrated and re- signed his position effec- tive January 15, 1985.

Dr. Silverman said that AIDS was spread in San Francisco primarily through sexual contact. He urged that people should avoid random sex- ual contact with many partners. There was also a fear that AIDS could be

transmitted through blood transfusions from affected individuals, and several tests were devel- oped to combat this prob- lem.

502 cases of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome were reported in

San Francisco during 1984, more than doubling the previous year's num- ber. Deaths due to AIDS also increased more than 100 percent between 1983 and 1984, jumping from 105 in 1983 to 262 report- ed deaths in 1984.

Welsh actor Richard Burton remembered as man and star

"D

on't let it be forgot that once there was a spot, for one brief shining mo- ment that was known as Camelot," sang King Arthur in Camelot.

King Arthur was one of his most famous roles, but for Richard Burton, who died in August, 1984 of a cere- bral hemorrhage, his best acting was in Lon- don, not Hollywood. Sir Laurence Olivier

and other colleagues thought his title role of "Coriolanus" was Mr. Burton's finest. He also portrayed Hamlet, Othello, Iago, and Hen- ry V, and received sev- en Academy Award nominations.

It was the paparazzi that brought him to say, "You cannot be- come a good actor nowadays; it's impossi- ble. You aren't allowed to develop in peace. Public attention is too

concentrated, too blazed, too lighted." Such attention was brought to his mar- riages to Elizabeth Taylor. Mr. Burton was "attracted to her for her extraordinary fac- ulty for being danger- ous."

Mr. Burton was buried in his Welsh homeland wearing the patriotic color, red, while the strains of rugby music played in the background.

OCSA sponsored events for the other classes as well, such as the Freshman Pizza Night and Junior Happy Hour. The Monte Carlo Night held in March was a memorable event as well, drawing a large crowd from all sectors of campus.

Cultural Exposure for SCU Students

The different eth- nic and cultural clubs would call 1984-85 a very busy year.

In addition, these clubs sought to educate the SCU community on spe- cific minority problems. The Vietnamese club kept busy with its share of events, sponsoring a film night winter quarter on one of the most impor- tant works of literature in Vietnam, as well as a fund-raising dance at Graham Central. Club president Hinug Ha com- mented that "our club is a new club, with this year being its first active one."

Speakers, Dances, Movie Nights, Happy Hours, Concerts

A Plethora of Activities Entertains Student Body

Social Presentations kept SCU students entertained with a wide range of events, from dances and con- certs, to speakers and movies. The year's open- ing event — a big-screen showing of Police Acade- my in Kennedy Mall, fol- lowed by an outside dance to the music of Rhythm Core — set the pace for the remainder of the year. Other dances featured bands such as Like and the Untouch- ables. The Tubes put on a full-scale concert in Lea- vey, and the Wayne Johnson Trio rounded off the concert line-up with jazz shows.

According to Greg Cop- pola, ASUSC Social Vice- President, "The movies

shown this year were greatly expanded to in- clude second-release movies like Splash, Raid- ers of the Lost Ark and Purple Rain.'' Such cam- pus cult flicks as Animal House and An American Werewolf in London, among others, were also shown weekly in Graham Central Station.

The informational side of Santa Clara's social agenda included several speakers on campus. Art Clokey, creator of Gumby, and former "acid guru" Timothy Leary spoke to standing-room- only crowds inside Ben- son Center. Students didn't shy away from the more somber lectures ei- ther, such as when Kath- ryn Brady spoke about

the social impact of rape, incest and child molesta- tion.

As always, Happy Hours were enthusiasti- cally attended by upper classmen as well as a few incognito sophomores. At least three Senior Happy Hours were put on each quarter. Officially, the University did not spon- sor Junior Happy Hours until spring quarter when most of the junior class turned 21; the first legiti- mate one was held in Club 66 during late April.

With the hard work of ASUSC, these many events allowed students the opportunity to pepper their heavy academic schedules with various modes of entertainment.

Comedy hours provide a cure for the blues

Standing Room Only on Tuesday Nights

"A;

funny thing happened on ,the way to the library," said junior Carolyn Hendley, "As I recall, it was a Tuesday night ... I was all set for my usual rendezvous with Michel Orradre, when all of a sudden I saw students, hundreds of them, drinking and laughing — I was drawn into the excitement and uh . . . well, the rest was a blur."

What happened to Carolyn was not unusual. Three times each quarter live comedy was the temptation which drew a full house of SCU stu- dents, who might have otherwise spent a dreary Tuesday night slaving away in a lab, writing a

term paper, or balancing imaginary budgets.

According to comedy director Joe Cunningham, Comedy Nights became more popular than be- fore. "The attendance in- creased by about 100 each Comedy Night," said Joe. "This was the first time we had ever made money off of it."

The success of Comedy Nights was due to the well-known and much ap- preciated comedy of Ke- vin Pollack, Bob Dubac, the Murphy/St. Paul team, and others. The majority of comedians were from the California area and often had ap- peared in Bay Area com- edy clubs. One night, in an effort to include some SCU talent, students

from the audience were invited on stage to ham it up with their favorite jokes.

SCU students, however, didn't hit the big time, but Joe, who emceed the show and occasionally treated the audience with his own material, ex- plained that a Comedy Night featuring student performers was a possi- bility. Joe's biggest plan was for a large scale comedy show held in ei- ther Benson Center or Leavey Activities Center. He hoped the show would feature several big name comedians. Mean- while, the punchlines fell, and the laughter contin- ued to roll.

Dedication Yields Results

Responsible, hard- working, and dedicated were words which only too well described the offi- cers, staff, and volunteers of ASUSC; not surprising- ly, successful, productive, and profitable aptly de- scribed their accomplish- ments. Jay Leupp, ASUSC president, along with officers Matt Eter- nal, Greg Coppola, Martin Kunz and Adrian Churn, led the organization in addressing issues such as club recognition, alloca- tion of offices and funds, the planning and devel- opment of a Benson Stu- dent Service Center, and an Ethiopia fundraiser, as well as working to im- prove off-campus hous- ing, and social presenta- tions.

Greg Coppola, the so- cial vice-president, felt very positive about this year's social activities, explaining that, "this year there were twice as many shows. I think some of the highlights were the Untouchables, Timothy Leary, the Tubes, Kevin Pollack, Doug Keho and Bob Du- back." Greg worked with 30 to 40 committee mem- bers this year to put on these and other events, including movies and dances, and, according to Greg, they "were able to have the videos returned to Graham Central Sta- tion, and we had small jazz acts in Graham for the first time in quite a few years."

The Senate, chaired by Adrian Churn, also had one of its most active years; its three standing

committees initiated many new programs. The Senate's investigation into the Housing Office resulted in the formation of an Off-Campus Place- ment Center, which pro- vided a computerized list- ing of available housing to students wishing to move off campus. The committees also increased the number of active clubs on campus by add- ing over thirty new clubs; they also put in uncountable work hours to prepare for the new Student Service Center planned for Benson Base- ment.

In addition, according to Adrian, "our biggest push this year was to im- prove school spirit. We wanted to make every student proud to be a Bronco." Jay explained that ASUSC implemented their school spirit pro- gram by selling the all- season athletic pass, which increased atten- dance at all of the sports events. Bronco pre-game warm-ups in Bronco Cor- ral also helped, as did the week-long Bronco Bust, which according to Jay was, "our version of Poly Royal, or Chico's Pioneer Days."

ASUSC was successful in working together to keep Santa Clara enter- tained and running smoothly. Jay explained, "we've really made an ef- fort to meet both long- term and short-term goals — we've been get- ting things done for this year, but working to im- prove Santa Clara for later years, too."

rBronco Bust Ends In Controversy

by Celine Cebedo

The first annual Bronco Bust (April 14-20) was the brainchild of ASUSC Social Vice-President Greg Coppola, his assis- tant, Chris Odquist, and the culmination of weeks of preparation and plan- ning.

Greg commented, "Chris and I both ran on the same platform, so we ended up integrating our ideas." These ideas were combined with those of a committee of about twen- ty people from various clubs and the four classes. Together the committee, along with Greg and Chris, brain- stormed and decided on the theme and specific events. The main focus they had in mind, Greg said, was "to put on a spring event, something to create pride in the school."

The result of their work was a full line-up of different events ranging from happy hours spon- sored by ASUSC, the Ju- nior and Senior Classes, to an ice-cream social and a "Family Feud" compe- tition. The week was started by an air band competition won by the Spinners, Jim Campbell and J.J. McNamara, and on Saturday the week culminated in the annual

Budweiser Supersports competition and a street dance later that night outside of Benson.

The week itself was marked by bad weather, however, causing some outdoor events to be moved indoors. Despite the bad weather, Greg said he was "really pleased with the turnout. Everything went well. For a first-year event, there were no major problems." Chris agreed and said, "a lot of people showed up for all events."

However, the end of Bronco Bust '85 was marked with controversy. The April 25 issue of The Santa Clara quoted Bob Senkewicz, S.J., Vice- President for Student Services, as saying, "the current 'Bronco Bust' which is basically a se- ries of drinking parties padded by a few pseudo- events, must never be al- lowed to happen again." The publication of this statement sparked off a debate on the strengths and weaknesses of Bron- co Bust. Fr. Senkewicz defended his statement by saying that the quote "was a throwaway line in a long twelve-page draft on student life. I was quoted out of context." Fr. Senkewicz also con-

tinued to maintain that he didn't like the lack of Bronco Bust's "thematic unity." "The only thread holding the week togeth- er was the happy hours." He added that the 44-ft.- high beer can of Bud- weiser in the Supersports event conveyed a deceiv- ing message about SCU. But Fr. Senkewicz em- phasized that "the basic model of Bronco Bust, as a series of events in the spring, is a good model. Before we plan another Bronco Bust, we should first decide what theme we want to work around and make sure it doesn't get lost."

Many students agreed with Fr. Senkewicz's ana- lysis. Joli Castello, Senior Class President and orga- nizer of the Senior Happy Hour in Club 66, said she believed, "the idea itself was good. But we learn from our mistakes. Bron- co Bust was good consid- ering this was the first year."

Greg and his staff, however, received much positive feedback on their effort. And both Greg and Chris hoped that Bronco Bust would be- come a yearly spring tra- dition at SCU, as well as something we could all be proud of.

Everybody has a weakness for ice cream; so when ASUSC decided to serve it during Bronco Bust, they were sure to get a big turnout . . . especially since it was free. Julie Rauner scoops up the creamy confection for the anxious crowd.

Happy Hours are definitely a favorite activity and clearly, seniors John Breen, Judy Miller and Mark Haun are enjoying the company at one of the many bronco Bust events.

1 - Consistency Means Quality

by Chris Stampolis and Joan Raspo

Years of suffering through late- night deadlines and uncooperative ma- chines finally paid off for SCU's student media. Professional attitudes on The Santa Clara, The Owl, The Redwood and KSCU boosted the me- dia to new levels of credibility and consis- tency.

With the help of IBM personal computers, The Redwood and The Santa Clara dramatically cut typing and editing time.

According to Kathy Dalle-Molle, Editor-in- Chief of The Santa Clara, "With the help of our new typesetter, we were able to experiment with graphics and change the look of the paper." Matt Keowen, Editor-in-Chief of The Redwood, added, "Com- puters not only cut down the workload, but were educational for the

staff as well."

Increased staff al- lowed the media to spread the workload and expand their quality. The Redwood worked throughout the summer months and KSCU con- tinued to broadcast daily for the entire year.

The staff of each me- dium also began build- ing a foundation of bet- ter organization. The goal was not just to sur- vive another year, but to be more professional. "We wanted to establish more consistency from year to year," said Mark Clevenger, Associate Editor of The Owl.

Susan DiOrio, Assis- tant Music Director of KSCU, summed up the media's improvements. "Everyone was excited about the future of their medium. The ball is roll- ing and we've finally got ourselves moving in the same direction."
