BLUEJAY 1984 Creighton University Omaha, Neb. Volume 54 Contents 4 Student Life There is no such thing as an ordinary day in a student ' s life. From a browse in the bookstore, to a study session in the library after a social dinner at SAGA, the indescribable dorm life, and the oppor- tunities to meet new people, a student ' s life is like a kaleidoscope forming endless patterns. 40 Events Of course classes are important, yet in addition to the academic side of Creighton, numerous events spot the school calendar. For freshmen, welcome week starts it all. m Sports Sporting competition is not only fun, but it is a point of unity for Creighton ' s student body. Varsity sports with a NCAA mark draw the crowds, but with more than 4,000 students participating, intramurals offer an imporatant outlet, and the needed study break. 140 Clubs Organizations Involvement in out of class activities makes for the well rounded student. With such a diversity of clubs and ac- tivities, there is something for every stu- dent at Creighton. 210 Seniors The Bluejay proudly presents the students of 1984. After years of study and preparation they go out to their respec- tive fields, to use their skills and share their talents. 374 Reflection No one can ever take away our memories of Creighton. The past is known, yet we must look ahead with op- timistic anticipation of the future to ac- complish our goals and dreams. Tonight I ' ll be on that hill ' cause I can ' t stop I ' ll be on that hill with everything that I got Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I ' ll be there on time and I ' ll pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town ■Bruce Springsteen There is a singular sense of exhilarated satisfaction to be derived from editing a school publication over a period of several months. Throughout the academic calendar, the editor is confronted with a wide range of personal challenges, logistical complications and management crises. At the end of the school year, one can look back upon the struggle as a long journey completed, a great task accomplished. That having been stated, the reader should be informed that such was not the case with the 1984 Bluejay, the ma- jority of the content of which was constructed in a 19-day period from my appointment as editor on March 6 to final deadline on March 24. The result is a somewhat flawed product that contains stylistic inconsistencies and a few glaring omissions. There is no index, and the senior portrait and club picture sections are improperly conceived. Yet, I cannot help but feel that the 1984 Bluejay represents a triumph of human willpower. When I was appointed in early March, the consensus among those in- volved was that it would be impossible to process 238 pages in the space of three weeks. Through the dedicated efforts of a small and extremely talented staff, the impossible occurred and a 54-year-old tradition was preserved. The theme of the ' 84 Bluejay can therefore be found in its very existence: within each human spirit must be an indomitable will to survive, to keep pressing, to continue up the hill against all odds, no matter what the cost. The refusal to give up when the situation was bleakest is the reason there is a Bluejay this year. Such willpower was evident on the part of photo editor Jim Cheray, king of the 4 a.m. work prints, and Scott Lynam, darkroom editor, who worked even after he had some painful dental work performed that left his cheeks looking like they were stuffed with cotton balls. There were times when neither of them looked like they were having fun, but they processed about 1,000 prints over a 19-day period, for which I will be forever grateful. Other people played equally vital roles: journalism secretary Ann McDonald coordinated senior and organization picture identification with a skill and swift- ness that amazed all those involved. Judy Goodnow was jack-of-all-trades, processing prints, writing copy, com- piling senior quotes and handling emerge ncy photo assignments. There also was a coterie of friends who joined in the siege on the yearbook office during the last, crucial 72 hours - Cathy Stahl, Mary Kate Wells, Bill Walsh, Michele Gallagher - who were instrumental in handling specific layout and expediting the final rush of material. Upon the shoulders of assistant editor Mike Larsen fell the task of handling all the sports layouts. He also helped out with all other facets of production, from senior pages to writing copy to trying to stay awake long enough in the middle of the night to finish photo requests. His tireless devotion was not merely an asset to the project ; it was a necessity. Finally, Mr. Zuegner made the painful decisions when they needed to be made, fought with the yearbook, handl- ed an endless stream of copy and did everything necessary to clear the way for us to do the job. If we have captured at least some of the atmosphere of the previous school year, from the trials and tribulations to the triumphs and celebrations, then filling the un- forgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run was worth it for all of us.

I love Kiewit, Swanson said. I can be comfortable no matter what I ' m wearing. There are so many friend relationships. Swanson said that things had gone extremely well this year with few disciplinary problems. The residents had a lot to do with it, Swanson said. It ' s a mature crowd. There ' s a great deal of respect between residents and ad- visers. The RA ' s deserve a lot of credit. They must set the tone for how things are going to be run. They have been consistent in both disciplinary and social aspects. This staff has the best working relationship that I ' ve ever seen. They are always willing to make time for one another. The resident advisers in Kiewit were Jan Grassmeyer, Walter Tomasino, Chris Nizzi, Jean Tierney, Rob Waguespack, Dan Potter, Kelly Soulliere, Brigitte Car- rica, Scott Perry, Nick Galiato, Janet Berning, Amy Cur- ran, Kathy Searly. Kim Cafaro, Angela Burke and Anne Hinchey. Arts senior Brenda Speer has lived in Kiewit for three years. She says she enjoys the more peaceful at- mosphere of Kiewit. Many people come to Kiewit as a refuge from busier places, Speer said. Your ' re not on stage. You can be yourself and just relax ... There is a feeling of warmth and security. us .f.;3fe -.4f 11 12 Deglman The all-girl dorm, Deglman, again housed most of Creighton ' s freshman female population. This year ' s resident advisers for the five-floor dorm were Ann Broski, Therese Mullin, Teri O ' Neill, Janet Stuermer and Mary Kay Mangus. Jan O ' Laughlin was the head RA. Dorm chaplain was Sister Maria Williams. rlJhM Nki 13 Swanson Swanson The Zoo Hall was a fun home for many Creighton students this year. Resident advisers were Head RA Dan Byrne and Steve Diehl, Kevin Croft, Cyndi Laba, Mickey Sandboethe, Theresa Kripal and Tom Hoover. Others were Patty Greteman, Dave Finger, Rich Burgmeir, Mike Lievins, Steve Kojima, Leisha DeSmet, Pat Kane, John McMahon, Margy Kroupa and Katie McNamara. Chaplains this year were Jesuit Fathers John Lynch, James Skull, Richard McGloin and Dick Houser and Con- stance Price. 14 r 15 Palms Towers The Palms staff began the school year with the slogan, The Good Life. Head Resident Adviser Rich Ricci ex- plained the reasoning behind this slogan. We wanted to emphasize the fact that it ' s a privilege to live here. We wanted to make it a good life for those who chose not to moOe off campus for one reason or another. Ricci explained that the Palms is not like other dor- mitories in which residents have greater access to each other. He said he wanted to establish an open door policy in which residents wouldn ' t be afraid to approach each other. We really wanted to facilitate friendships, he said. I think we ' ve succeeded, and hope it will continue. Ricci attributes this success to a fabulous staff : Robin Dunn, Steve Moore, Matt Nigro, Dan Voss and Maureen Gara. We want to make the dorm a pleasant place to live, yet suitable for study. We try to emphasize the social aspects, that there ' s more to school than studies. We want people to get to know each other, Ricci said. A television room lounge was added to facilitate in- teraction between residents, Ricci said. Ricci said there are great relationships between the residents of the Palms. The students make the dor- mitory, he said. Palms resident Anne Barry, an Arts junior, said, The staff creates an atmosphere in which the residents are unified. The resident advisers are successful at establishing good relationships among the residents. It ' s a comfortable, warm place to live. Beyond just a great place to live, it ' s a great place to be, Ricci said. The Towers had a totally different atmosphere dur- ing the year compared with previous years, according to Trudy Walter, head resident adviser. The reason is a change in the type of residents, Walter said. The Towers was the testing ground for housing graduate and married students. I love the people here, Walter said. Graduate students have to spend a lot of time studying - that ' s just part of being a graduate student. But they also take time to have fun. It ' s a very close-knit group. Many are going through the same things and so they support each other. There ' s a family-type atmosphere. In addition to the graduate and married students, there are also two floors of seniors. Walter said the seniors who moved to Towers were looking for a more quiet at- mosphere, and so enjoy living with the graduate students. Walter attributes the success of the dorm ' s new format in part to the fantastic staff that consisted of resident advisers Angel Demman, Ron Freimuth and Larry Dang. When they came to Towers there were no precedents set, but they came right through and adjusted to the dif- ferent needs of the new residents, she said. Walter said that because many of the residents were new to Omaha, the RA ' s served as a go-between, in- itiating activities and creating opportunities for the residents to get to know each other. 16 17 18 19 i 20 Gallagher Hall, with its previous reputation as being a rowdy, all-freshman dorm with its share of vandalism and discipline problems, discarded its old nickname, The Zoo, and donned an optimistic new name, The Country Club. Gallagher experienced extensive changes, according to Mary Beth Munro, head resident adviser. These included physical changes such as painting, new carpeting and the addition of lounges on each of the five floors plus a change in personality and atmosphere. No longer an all-freshman dorm, residents included up- perclassmen, transfer students and professional students, along with 24 freshmen. According to Munro, the general attitude is one of relaxation and solitude with little or no disciplinary ac- tion necessary. There is an air of calmness and good feeling as you walk through Gallagher, Munro said. 21 CEC The aged brick dwelling at 610 N. 21 St. was established in 1978 as the CEC (Curriculum Extension College) house. The building is well-worn and holds many warming memories for its residents. The CEC program is more than just an alternative for 17 students to the dorm life. CEC has a seminar program designed to provide students with interdisciplinary perspectives on a social, historical or theological aspect. Many students increase in sensitivity and develop a greater awareness about themselves and others, and the society in which they live. Students say it is like a family, living, learning, and growing together. 22 im Attt 23 24 Oif-Campus Off-campus Off -campus living, considered a luxury by most, is en- joyed by many Creighton juniors and seniors. Kellom Knolls was an added dimension to off-campus housing this year with many students making the move out of the dorm to an apartment or house. The 33rd and Chicago Streets area was heavily populated with Creighton students. The Pike House, Phi Psi Lodge, Delta Upsilon Lodge and the Hillside Court apartments also housed many students. Undergrads, Medical, Dental and Law students also resided in large houses in that and other nearby areas. 25 University College Throughout its 105-year history, Creighton has been a traditional or day school. Creighton entered the non-traditional field in the fall of 1983 by holding night classes. Called University College, the program marks the first time Creighton has offered a structured, part-time degree program. M ore than 800 students enrolled in the fall semester, ac- cording to Dr. Wesley Wolfe, University College dean. These additional students caused Creighton ' s enrollment to exceed 6,000 for the first time. Reasons for enrolling, Wolfe said, ranged from those who said they are working toward an undergraduate degree to those who are seeking job advancement, career change or personal enrichment. I ' m scared, Zenie Petregal of Papillion said as she registered for a philosophy course. But my husband en- couraged me to go to college and said I should go to a quality school. The enrollment at University College was beyond our expectations, said Barbara Angus, administrative assistant. We were struck by the number of people who said they came to Creighton because of its quality educa- tion. Courses are offered for eight majors and four cer- tificate programs. Classes meet typically once a week for about three hours Monday through Thursday. Creighton ' s regular faculty members teach the classes. The Little Theater in the basement of the Eppley Business Administration Building was converted into of- fices and a lounge to accommodate students in the new program. Introductory scholarships worth one-half the tuition cost were offered for up to six credits for all who enrolled the first semester. These scholarships were to remain in effect for the entire period it takes the students to earn their degrees as long as they remain in good standing. One University College instructor said, We ' re in the business of education and through University College we ' re meeting the needs of many people who would other- wise be cut out on the basis of finance. 26 :M 27 m 28 Jesuits The Jesuits - their name is almost synonymous with Creighton. Their presence is felt throughout the universi- ty community. They are teachers, administrators and chaplains. They ' re dorm counselors, retreat directors, friends to students, faculty and staff. They are there day and night, serving Christ through their work at Creighton. They are in St. John ' s Church morning, noon and night, offering Masses which allow the community to express its faith. The keynote of the Jesuit, says the Rev. John Holbrook, S.J., is that he always strives for the magis -always for more. He strives for the total well-being of the students in the classroom, in the dorm or when they are working in the city. The magis is what really motivates him to work for the greater glory of God. It is because of these men, serving under the banner of St. Ignatius Loyola, that Creighton continues to grow ' spiritually, academically and physically. Their talents, dedication, energy and enthusiasm seem limitless. Serv- ing Creighton for more than a century, they continue to guide and inspire the endless stream of students who come year after year. They will be here to teach your children and your children ' s children, fostering reverence for life in all its human potential. It is the Jesuits ' example that evokes in the university community a Christian response to the needs of the world. -rt ' 29 it Come and Get It! 99 They don ' t cook it like mom does. But then, who can compete with mom? Campus cafeteria and snackbars are indep)endently operated by SAGA. Welcoming any suggestions students have for better service, they continually strive to bring you the high quality food and cooking to which you are ac- customed. Located in Swanson and Keiwit Halls, the cafeterias sometimes tantilize tastebuds with a variety of ice creams and a wide array of toppings. Town students seem to enjoy congregating in the Lower Brandeise snackbar. It is a favorite place to get warm in the winter or cool off in the summer. SAGA also offers opportunities for part-time student employment. That ' s why that fellow who doled out your mashed potatoes was the same one who sat next to you in math class. So they don ' t cook it like mom. It made you appreciate her even more when you went home. Food for thought. Arts junior Dar Garcia and Anastasia Ax- oites, Arts freshman, fuel up for finals. Computerized admittance to meals is a daily occurrence for students consuming sustenance from SAGA. Could it be George Orwell ' s 1984? Looks good!

Step right up, folks! All this and more can be found crammed into the Campus Store. That ' s where you head after you ' ve survived the rigors of registration and are willing to stand in more lines. You go there to hop over and around stacks of books which fill the aisles and to nudge a little as you reach for a chemistry, economics or paperback book. It ' s where you see familiar and friendly faces after a long summer or Christmas break. It ' s where you can ' t find a particular book you need until a friendly employee hunts it down for you. At the Campus Store you talk while you wait in long, long lines with your arms full of heavy books while someone at the counter is in the process of returning a pen with the wrong ink color. When you emerged from the chaos after buying your semester ' s books, you carried a heavy load but a lighter wallet. Shopping at the book store is part of the fun at Creighton.

Quiet at last. This was the year the construction workers - the carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers and electricians - packed up their tools and left the students with a complete and beautiful library. No more studying to the rhythm of hammers or the screams of electric saws. Students now concentrate (or sleep) without noisy interruption. I was amazed with the cooperation and understanding we got from the students, said Library Director Ray Means. We put them through a miserable time during the construction. They have been more tolerant than I ever dreamed they would be. 35 Library The new library has already won two architectural awards. One is the Omaha City Beautification Award. The second is The American Association of School Ad- ministrators and the American Institute of Architects award. The lower level of the library, completed in the spring, is now occupied by Instructional Technology, a classroom with a seating capacity of 60 and three seminar rooms. The library, originally seating 500, offered a meager 200 seats during construction. After construction, the capacity was increased to 800. 36 i mk ,.- M 1 J IT- 37 38 39 40 EVENTS 41 42 Welcome Week Incoming Creighton freshmen and transfer students got a hearty welcome from the rest of the campus during a week -long series of events planned especially for them. Dances, swim-parties, cookouts, volleyball tour- naments, tours of popular Omaha places and orientation to the campus were among the events that group leaders staged for new Creighton Students. Whirl: Winter Whirl, held at Omaha ' s 72nd and Grover Holi- day Inn, proved to be a fun affair for those attending the semi-formal event. The Rumbles supplied the music and Creighton students supplied the dancing. 43 1 Hm. Pc- b n K t PfJMr ' ji i fli i ' MiP ' S BP t«iv_j yB 44 45 Kenneth M.

Hundreds came --students, faculty, staff and the Jesuit community fill- ing the church to overflowing. They came to celebrate the traditional Mass of the Holy Spirit, to sing, pray and give thanks. Special guests were Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd S kinner, after whom Creighton ' s Lloyd and Kathryn Skinner Mall is named. After crowds gathered in the piazza the Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J., greeted the congregation and introduced the Skinners. Then, leading the procession to St. John ' s Church, Father Morrison blessed the new mall. Inside the church, dancers rhythmically moved down the aisle and instrumental and choral music poured forth. In a beautiful and moving celebration participants glorified God. Songs of praise drifted out of the church, past the splashing water of the piazza fountain and through Creighton ' s beautiful green mall. Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J. Skinner Mall.

The Sadie Hawkins dance, held in October, kept with a traditional country theme, but not traditional practices, since the gals had their chance to ask the guys for a date. Country garbed students, faculty and dates decororated Omaha ' s Red Lion Inn ballroom with denim, cowboy hats and boots, red bandanas, silver play guns and bright plaid square dancing skirts. In a corner of the room, a photographer took pictures of couples and groups lounging on bails of straw, while others danced to a country and western band. People swung their partners to the music and some even danced with stick horses. The bartender just rolls in the money, top. Ann Broski and Leisha DeSmet. left, are cap- tured by bandit Rod Buzzas.

The Student Board of Govenors replaced the familiar TGIF [Thank God It ' s Friday] and controversial 20 cards with the Friday Afternoon Club [FAC]. The club held eight meetings in the lower Brandeis Stu- dent Center from 4-6 p.m. FvUl membership cost just $5. Besides all the beer you could drink, special events were held at some of the meetings. There was a pie throwing contest where students could get even with their favorite teachers in good fun. There was music at each FAC provided by such bands as The Back Beats and Digital Sex. The Friday Afternoon Club was a great way to kick off the weekend and relieve some of the pressures of college life. Wait! Wait, I can ' t listen to you both at once!

But not the one with the big top, huge elephants, tigers and lions. No, not the Barnum and Bailey Circus. This greatest show on earth was brought to campus by the Rev. Nick Weber, S.J. With his Royal Liechtens- tein Circus he was back at Creighton to bring forth laugher and grins from students, faculty and staff members. Prancing animals, juggling acts, stunts and acrobatics drew a large crowd as students took a break from the books to watch, laugh and enjoy the antics. A monkey, dog, bear, pony and birds made up the menagerie. Spec- tators were dazzled with a fire-swallowing act, balloon tricks, unicycle riders and a classic Houdini water tank trick. The show was a delight and as colorful as the per- formers ' costumes. Jim Kuhn Hot dog! Weber and his trick dog ham it up. 53 Karen K Senff Rev.

A room that is usually utilized for conventions and local business meetings was turned into a dance floor for the annual semi-formal. Even though everyone was fairly dressed-up, people danced crazy and had a fun time, said Anne Ramsey, arts junior. The Firm, a band popular with Creighton students, played for the dancers, while the cash bar was busy keep- ing everyone supplied with refreshments in the hot room. The dance wasn ' t enjoyed by Creighton students alone. Many C.U. students brought dates from Omaha, sur- rounding areas or their hometowns. The dance stayed crowded from nine p.m. until the last song at one a.m. Sunday morning. Anytime I hear The Firm, I dance the whole time, Miss Ramsey said.

With each graceful move- ment they direct a poised and highly controlled energy toward a natural expression of united feeling and action. Up on their toes, they dance with what appears to be an effortless ease and lightness. What contributes to this art which emphasizes such beauty and virtuosity are countless hours of training, frustration, aching muscles and blistered feet. It is a dicipline born of long days, hard work and continual exer- cise which makes this strenuous and demanding art ap- pear so natural and graceful. The company had two productions during the 1983-84 season. In November they presented four works in an evening of classical and modern dance. Associate Pro- fessor of Fine and Performing Arts Valerie Roche choreographed a character work of Slavic dances drawn from folk dance tradition. Guest choreographer Michael Tevlin from Fort Wayne, Ind., presented a ballet number to Mendelssohn ' s Songs Without Words. Marian Saunders of Lincoln choreographed a work to the music of Duke Ellington. It was entitled, Five by Duke. Creighton ' s Jill Lile, associate professor of dance, choreographed a modern work by a contemporary composer, Donald Waxman. 60 61 Company of Dancers The spring concert included the work of a returning Japanese choreographer, Saeko Ichinohe. While the work, entitled Three Nocturnes, was performed to music by Chopin, the dance was presented in traditional Japanese movement and dress. In contrast, Roche choreographed a classical ballet piece with dancers wearing the long romantic tu tu. Lile presented a work, Question: How Do You Get to Work? Answer: My Mother Brings Her Lunch. Presented in short phrases without music the piece was a parody on poor communication. Former Creighton stu- dent Mary Martin presented a modern work to the music of George Winston. Hoping to stretch their name beyond the metropolitan area, the company took their show on the road to West Point, Neb., where they presented their spring concert. 63 A good man is hard to find!

Reader ' s Theatre: Five by Flannery O ' Connor was directed by William F. Hutson, assistant professor of fine and performing arts. Heather Winterer and Martin Connel were narrators in the tragic story, A Good Man is Hard to Find. Dottie Krist brought laughter from the audience in her role as a grandmother, while Chris Hedican chillingly portrayed a misfit who massacres a vacationing family. Kathy Kemp and Tom Munger portrayed the roles of ill-mannered children. John Muenchrath was the sole reader in The Train. He portrayed a young man who rides a train for his home which no longer exists. Charlie Manhart, Kathy Christal and Kevin Lawler read The Life You Save May Be Your Own. Kevin portrayed Mr. Shiftlet, a homeless con man, who marries Lucynell Carter. Kathy read the part of Lucynell and Charlie por- trayed the mother who was ravenous for a son-in-law. Ray Means, director of the Alumni Library, and Tam- my Medinger enterained the audience with southern drawls and a reading of A Late Encounter With the Enemy. Members of Dr. Hutson ' s oral interpretation class read The River. Joseph Fairbanks, S.J., read the lines of a young boy who lives a meaningless life in an apartment with alcoholic parents. Don Gibbs, S.J., portrayed the Rev. Bevel Summers, a southern preacher and healer. David Mamu, S.J., read the lines of a cynical Mr. Paradise who taunts the preacher.

Perkins, host of Mutual of Omaha ' s Wild Kingdom, spoke on conservation in America as a guest of Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit honor society. Perkins then ap- peared at the Alpha Sigma Nu dinner. Levine spoke at Creighton under the sponsorship of the College of Business Administration. The veteran televi- sion journalist and economic correspondent currently works for NBC-TV. Performers in a lighter vein included the comedy team of Franken and Davis and a visit by Tom Sullivan. Sullivan is best known for his autobiography, If You Could See What I Hear, which led to the movie of the same name. Sullivan, blind since birth, is a singer, com- poser, entertainer and actor. The performance of Arthur Kopit ' s play Indians resulted in an appearance by Kopit for the show ' s open- ing night and his participation in a panel discussion. Perhaps one of the most popular speakers was hyp- notist Tom DeLuca, who delighted a large crowd by hyp- notizing members of the audience, then letting them make fools of themselves. Other speakers of note included Martin Luther King III and presidential hopeful John Anderson. mm M ¥m ' ' n 4- 1 ' : ' 66 , m 67 68 69 ' f. i - ' 70 SPORTS 71 Football In reality, the Blue jays had not fielded a football team since 1941. But in the fall of 1983, no one seemed to notice. The Jays ' football revival started when Stanek Distributing Co. printed a CU football schedule poster that included such opponents as Alabama, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame and Southern California. Bob McDonald, a writer for the school newspaper. The Creightonian, picked up on the poster ' s popularity and wrote a series of articles on the team ' s success. According to McDonald, the Bluejays won both college football ' s national championship and the National Foot- ball League ' s Super Bowl. The college title was ac- complished with an undefeated season capped by a 45-14 win over the University of Miami. Creighton sacked Miami quarterback Bernie Kosar 33 times, including 17 straight plays in the third quarter. Top: Two linemen prepare for a play. Bottom left: The team goes through its calisthenics.

However, the request that the Ci- ty of Miami be delivered to the Interstate so local fans would not have to travel too far to view their favorite teams was misinterpreted and the City of Tampa, Fla., was delivered instead. Since the Super Bowl was scheduled for Tampa later in January, the CU coach, the Rev. Michael J. Morrison, S.J. (who also served as university president), asked Los Angeles Raiders owner Al Davis for permission to let the Jays meet the Washington Redskins in the game. Davis agreed and the Bluejays, dressed as the Raiders, trounc- ed Washington 38-9. A Super Bowl victory and a university president as coach weren ' t the only oddities on the team as McDonald took poetic license to its furthest extreme. The Jays boasted the only female football player in the country in Kristi Swanson Palaschak and had one of the first players to sign after the United States Football League draft in Walter Tomasino, who signed a three-year, $500,000 con- tract with the Chicago Blitz. Psychology instructors Gary Leak and Rich Millard served as assistant coaches. 75 Football The Bluejays may have received more pubHcity than any other mythical team. Shortly after McDonald began his series of articles, a story on the team appeared in the Omaha World-Herald and was subsequently distributed nationwide by The Associated Press. The article was then carried in newspapers in Baltimore, Battle Creek, Mich., Columbia, S.C, San Antonio, Texas, Oakland, Calif., and Green Bay, Wis. The Sporting News was the next publication to pick up on the Jays, running an article on Page 2 of its Nov. 21 issue. The article led to the first piece of fan mail for Palaschal, a letter from a man in Massachusetts who wanted an autograph. NCAA Today, the program shown on Saturday afternoons during the football season on CBS-TV, then ran a short feature on the Jays. McDonald arranged for a scrimmage on campus which was filmed by WOWT cameramen. Highlights of the afternoon included a touchdown run by Coach Mor- rison and a large banner which proclaimed: C.U. at the Orange Bowl. Top left: Jays get ready at line of scrimmage.

Don Klosterman was in his first year as Bluejay coach after four seasons at Benedictine (Kan.) College. Before that, Klosterman had served as the freshman and junior varsity soccer coach at Omaha Creighton Prep High School. Highlights of the men ' s season included a second-place finish in its own tournament at Omaha Central High School. The Bluejays defeated Southwest Missouri State 1-0 in the first round on a goal by Robert Addington and outstanding goaltending by Jim Dalla Riva. The Jays lost the championship match 1-0 to Marquette, a first-round winner over Tulsa. Addington led the team in scoring for the third straight year and will be back for the 1984 season. In fact, the only member of the starting lineup to use up his eligibility was John Probst. Center: Scoreboard shows Lady Jays have 1-0 lead in game with the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

The team ' s one shutout victory cane against city rival the University of Nebraska at Omaha in a 4-0 game. The Lady Jay offense ' s most explosive game came in a 10-2 win over Augustana. The team was led in scoring by three freshmen. Joan Dalla Riva scored 11 goals in the nine games, Deena Roach nine and Liz Hoover seven. Creighton averaged 3.4 goals each game, while allowing only 2.1. The women ' s team achieved its success as a club sport, participating primarily against other schools that also did not play under NCAA guidelines. 80 Bluejays compete against Marquette in Creighton Invitational. 81 Swimming The men ' s swimming team closed its season in im- pressive fashion with a 77-31 win over the University of Nebraska at Omaha, bringing its final record to 8-5. The Bluejays, under Coach Gary Major, dominated the meet with wins in every swimming event. Law freshman John Apker, the team captain, won both the 200- and 400-meter individual medleys. Jim Bikakis was also a double- winner with victories in the 50 and 100 freestyle. 82 mminc K ' - J •TiwyiT? ..: mmw. 83 Swimming The women also ended the season against UNO, losing 55-50 to finish with a 3-3-1 record. The Lady Jays, in their first season of NCAA competition, got a pair of victories each from Susie Krammer (500 and 1,000 freestyle) and Kim Gilroy (1- and 3-meter diving). Both teams started the year with victories over South Dakota and Concordia. The Lady Jays saw their two- meet win streak end in their first meeting with UNO, while the men, in only their second year of NCAA com- petition, inproved to 3-0 by beating the Mavericks 77-38. 84 Top: Sign above Kiewit Pool proclaims Creighton Swimming.

Swimming and diving take place during a home meet. 85 Martial Arts Ashihara Karate and Tae Kwon Do were two types of martial arts and self-defense courses available to students. The Ashihara Karate Club, in its second year of ex- istence, concentrated on the Japanese style of self- defense used in street fighting and traditional karate. Ap- proximately 40 people belonged to the club, which was directed by Arts senior Paul O ' Malley. The highlight of the club ' s year was a spring trip to the National Ashihara Karate Invitational in Denver. Arts junior Rodger Miller was in charge of the Martial Arts Club, which practiced Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do specializes in kicking through the use of spins and jumps. 86 The Karate Club works out in the Kiewit Center. The Rev. Jonathan Haschka, S.J., demonstrates fundamentals of sail boards in water and on shore. 87 Sailing The Rev. Jonathan Haschka, S.J., was the sponsor of the school ' s new Sail and Surf Club. For a $10 annual fee, club members received free sailing instructions, dis- counts on equipment rentals, storage space for their own sailboards and the right to take part in the club ' s numerous trips. Among the club ' s planned trips were a campout at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri ' s Ozark Mountains, and a senior week sail at Branched Oaks near Lincoln. The group was also getting ready for the Flamingo Open Board Sailing Classic at Nebraska ' s Lake McConaughy in September of 1984. Arts junior Dan Garcia was elected commodore of the club, while Medicine junior Jane Otto served as first mate. 88 89 Rifle For the second year, the school fielded a rifle team that took part in NCAA competition. Sgt. Gary Curtin coached the eight-person team, which sought to rebound from a 1-7 record in its first season. Among the matches on the team ' s spring schedule were events at the Air Force Academy, at RoUa, Mo., at Kemper, Mo., and in St. Louis. Fifteen to 25 schools took part in each meet. Four students from each school took part in each meet, with each participant shooting at 12 bull ' s-eyes 50 feet away during a limited time span. Practice time was a problem for the Bluejays early in the season when the school ' s rifle range was closed down to undergo major remodeling necessary to make it usable under safety requirements. 90 Left: Sgt. Gary Curtin gives pointers to Bob Koch. Top: Team members prepare for rifle practice in the gymnasium. 91 Rugby While a real football team has been absent from the school for over 40 years, the club sport of rugby offered many students an alternative. The Bluejays competed in both the fall and spring seasons of the newly formed Great Plains Rugby League, finished behind the University of Nebraska in the fall season. The Cornhuskers notched a 16-12 win over the Bluejays at Omaha Tech High School, causing CU to seek revenge as the spring season began. The spring season opened with a match March 24 against the Omaha Rugby Club. Seven clubs and four col- leges competed in the spring league. Because most col- lege rugby teams are clubs, the Bluejays were eligible for the NCAA Division I Rugby Championship held late in the spring. Nebraska represented the Midwest Division at the 1983 NCAA tourney. The rugby club competes in a fall match. 92 93 Women ' s Basketball A record for victories in a season was set by the women ' s basketball team despite the loss of two starters to knee injuries. Sophomore Connie Yori was the key to the success of the Lady Jays, who won 18 of 28 decisions to break the 17-win mark set the year before. Yori finished with 569 points (20.3 per game) and 240 rebounds (8.6). She was also the team leader in free throw percentage (129 of 164 for .763), steals (88), blocked shots (25) and assists (100). Her 569 points raised her career mark to 1,158, shattering the previous career record of 842 by Ruth Beyerhelm. 94 ' m m Left: Connie Yori warms up. Center: Right: Meg Haran puts up a shot.

Warren, a freshman guard, started the first five games of the season and was averaging 12 points when a knee injury in the loss to Nebraska ended her season. Sophomore forward Donna Chvatal joined War- ren on the sidelines with a knee injury after 20 games. Chvatal was averaging 9.2 points at the time. The Lady Jays and Coach Bruce Rasmussen still managed to save t heir best part of the year for last, despite losing two starters and having Yori unable to practice for the final month because of a fallen arch. Before two losses in Chicago to Loyola and DePaul ended the season, the Jays won a school record-tying seven games in a row. A road victory by a score of 69-67 over Northwest Missouri State, ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division II at the time, started the streak. Senior Janet Kundrat led CU with a career-high 22 points, including 14 in the second period. 97 w Top left: Claire HoUcraft with ball. Amy Allard looks disgusted (bottom left) and shoots (center). 98 ' W Women ' s Basketball The Lady Jays then returned to Omaha for a five-game home stand, notching wins against Loras College, South Dakota State, Missouri-Kansas City, Kearney State and Grand View. The Grand View game gave the women 17 victories and meant they would seek the record 18th at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Chances for victory looked remote as the Lady Mavericks jumped to a 36-18 lead at halftime. Yori scored only two points in the first period. Yori caught fire in the second half, scoring 23 of her game-high 25 points as CU rallied for a 64-61 win. Kundrat added 15 points, Meg Haran 12 and Claire Hollcraft 10. The women ' s bid for eighth straight was still alive in the final minute of their game at Loyola. Trailing 68-67 with 47 seconds left, Yori missed two free throws. Loyola made a basket, Creighton missed a layup and Loyola sank two free throws for a 72-67 victory. 99 Women ' s Basketball Early-season highlights for the team included victories in two of the three tournaments it participated in. THe Lady Jays downed Southern Illinois 58-56 and Memphis State 65-60 in Memphis to take the Lady Tiger Classic and improve their season record to 3-1. Over semester break, 66-56 wins against Colorado State and Wichita State at the Pizza Hut Classic gave CU first in that Wichita, Kan., tourney. The women were 1-1 in their first tournament ap- pearance, losing 76-71 to South Dakota in their season opener before taking a 67-60 win over Morningside behind Warren ' s 20 points to claim the consolation title at the South Dakota Invitational. Kundrat and Haran also averaged in double figures for the Lady Jays. Kundrat, the team ' s co-captain and center, was the only player to start all 28 games. She finished with 310 points (11.1) a game) and 141 rebounds (5.0). She saved one of her better games for her home finale, at which she was honored. In the 67-40 win over Grand View, she scored 19 points to share team honors with Yori. 100 Left: Amy Allard with ball. Connie Yori shoots (center and right). 101 Women ' s Basketball Haran, a sophomore forward, averaged 10.5 points per game for a total of 293. Hollcraft, who moved into the starting lineup when Chvatal was injured, scored 117 points, including a team-high 20 as CU upset Iowa State 84-67 midway through the season. Starter Amy Allard had 229 points (8.2 average) for the Lady Jays. Her 18 points played a key role in the 67-53 win over Loras. Three reserves who played well when in- juries depleted the lineup were Janet Ensign, Kay Krieger and Tina Soloman. As a team, the women scored 1,873 points (66.9 a game) while allowing 1,760 (62.9). Creighton shot .473 from the field (755 of 1,597) and .709 from the line (363 of 512). Kun- drat was the only senior on a young team that included three freshmen, four sophomores and two juniors, giving the women hope for a good performance the next year. i 102 J - - K ' Left: Connie Yori.

The men ' s basketball team ended its best season in three years under Coach Willis Reed with a pair of two- point losses, the first 70-68 to Tulsa in overtime in the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and the second 56-54 to Nebraska in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament. The fact that the Jays participated in those two games was sufficient evidence of the success enjoyed by ther Jays. Reed had compiled records of 7-20 and 8-19 in his first two years as Tom Apke ' s replacement before his 17-14 mark in the 1983-84 season earned him a three-year contract extension midway through the campaign. iaif ? m .

The win over Southern ended a 13-game road losing skid. Thhe team was 0-10 away from home the previous season. THe Bluejays never trailed against St. Ambrose, breaking out to a 12-2 lead over the Fighting Bees. Senior Gregory Brandon, in his second year with the team after transferring from Compton Junior College in Compton, Calif., led the Jays with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Southern game went down to the final seconds before Vernon Moore hit the winning jump shot. Sophomore center Benoit Benjamin led the team with 22 points while Brandon added 14. 107 Top: Benoit Benjamin and Gregory Brandon attempt to block a shot.

CU fell behind 33-20 at half time in the game in Lincoln which drew 11,110, the largest crowd to view the Jays all season. Creighton got as close as six points in the second period but lost 65-56 as NU ' s Dave Hoppen scored 21 points. Undaunted by the loss, the men rolled off five straight victories to improve to 7-1. Creighton downed Rockhurst, 66-52, then upset Iowa State 83-74 as Moore scored 21 points. The Cyclones, who also received an NIT berth, were 4-0 at the time. Moore continued to be the scoring star with 17 points in a 67-€0 win over Seattle Pacific and 16 in a rematch with Southern that the Jays won 60-49. Creighton then avenged last season ' s loss to the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a 70-62 victory behind 16 points by Benjamin. 109 Men ' s Basketball A New Year ' s Eve battle with De Paul ended the Jay streak, but the team looked sharp in the 59-57 overtime loss to the Blue Demons. The DePaul game finished Creighton ' s pre-Missouri Valley Conference schedule. The Jay ' s MVC season got off to a slow start as Illinois State won 63-54 in Omaha. The men would lose to the NCAA Tournament-bound Redbirds once more during the regular season, but would defeat them when it really counted. Creighton evened its conference record with a road win at Drake, 68-65, then returned home to defeat Southern Il- linois 78-62 before dropping a 61-60 decision at Indiana State. Marquette provided CU with a breather from the MVC schedule, but not a breather in the win-loss column. The Warriors, who later defeated Iowa State in the first round of the NIT before bowing out against Michigan, rolled past visiting Creighton 63-54. 110 Vernon Moore in the air (center) and on the ground (bottom right). Top right: Benoit Benjamin and Gary Swain battle Dayton player. Ill Men ' s Bosketboll CU chose its return to MVC play for its best offensive output of the year, a 98-77 win against West Texas State. Brandon led the way with 26 points. Tulsa (75-64) and Wichita State (80-67) then defeated the Jays despite Ben- jamin ' s season-high 29 points against the Shockers. The Jays avenged their earlier loss to Indiana State with a 92-74 home decision. Bradley was the next victim, losing 43-38. Another break from the conference schedule meant another loss as Dayton routed the men 79-64 in what was considered a surprising outcome at the time. The Flyers, however, would later earn a berth in the NCAA tourney and upset the Oklahoma Sooners in the se- cond round. The Dayton loss started the men ' s biggest losing streak of the season as CU dropped decisions to Southern Illinois (72-69), Illinois State (84-65) and Tulsa (82-80 in overtime) to drop to 12-11 overall and 5-7 in the MVC. 112 i Bottom center: Vernon Moore releases the ball.

The eight conference wins locked up the home game for the Jays, who ended the regular season with a 67-61 loss to Bradley. The men got a quick chance for revenge against the Braves, playing host to them in a first-round MVC game. Benjamin and Moore each scored 18 points in the 50-40 win that advanced them into the second round against Il- linois State. The Redbirds, the regular season MVC champs, concentrated on Benjamin, holding him to two points, but Brandon ' s 14 points led the way in a 69-59 upset win. Benjamin again scored 29 points, but it wasn ' t enough as CU fell to Tulsa in the championship game on a basket at the last second of overtime. But the impressive regular season and tournament play led to a NIT bid and the loss to the Huskers. The NU game drew 9,158 fans to the Civic Auditorium, the Jays ' best home crowd of the season. Center: Benoit Benjamin displays his shot-blocking abilities.

Moore was close behind with 465 points (15.0) in 31 games, and Bran- don had 448 (14.3) while leading the team in rebounds with 332 (10.7). Moore and Brandon were the only players to start every game for the Jays, CU winning one contest with Benjamin benched by an injury. Brandon was also the team ' s only senior and Moore its only junior. Kenny Evans and Reggie Morris contributed as starters early in the season, then performed well off the bench after Reed inserted freshmen Gary Swain and Karlas Gripado into the lineup. The Jays were 13-5 at home and 4-9 on the road. Their worst defeat was by 19 points, while the biggest win was by 43. The men shot .496 from the field (833 of 1,631) and .717 from the line (460 of 642) . They averaged 68.6 points a game for a total of 2,126. Opponents ' figures were 65.3 and 2,024. Jays meet Nebraska in National Invitational Tournament. 116 117 Softball After making the College World Series three of the past four seasons, a return to the event was a main goal for the women ' s Softball team heading into the spring season. The event had added meaning since the Lady Jays play host to the annual tournament. THe team compiled a 20-8 record during the fall season, led by the pitching of Kandy Foust and Marcia Jacobsen and the hitting of catcher Angie Rajtora. Foust and Jacobsen share the school ' s season record for victories with 24 each. Foust was a fastball pitcher, while Jacobsen relied on off -speed pitches. Foust had an impressive fall season, winning 12 of 14 decisions with an ERA of 0.69 in 91 innings. Jacobsen had a 0.88 ERA, but a fall record of only 5-6, losing several close games. Rajtora had the best fall batting average at .386. She was followed by Jen Walter (.377) and Susan Glines (.302). i Lady Jays at bat (left), on mound (center) and behind plate (right). 118 119 Softball The Lady Jays finished the fall season by winning the Creighton Invitational. The women defeated Northern Iowa 7-0, Missouri 3-1, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha 4-1, while losing 5-1 to Iowa State to reach the championship game against Nebraska. After the first three Lady Jay batters struck out in the first inning, Flo Mannix tripled and scored on a Walter sacrifice fly in the second. Creighton added runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings to win 4-0. THe win gave the Lady Jays a 4-5 fall mark against the Huskers. Other fall highlights included a 21-inning win over Loui- siana Tech and a 1-0 victory over Kansas. Newcomers who contributed to the team were leadoff hitter Toni Simpson, Anita Rogers, Brook Dickson and Mary Lucca. • V - 120 Top right: Coach Mary HIggins confers with team.

The Jays clinched the title with a win against Maryland, then show- ed their comeback ability by rallying from a 10-2 deficit to edge Rollins 13-12 in the final tournament game in Orlando, Fla. Creighton ' s Eric Campbell, Tom Drees, Ernie Ojea and Eddie Ortega were named to the all-tournament team. The Bluejays entered the season with much of their 1983 lineup gone. Leading the returners was all-around star Campbell, who hit .395 in ' 83 and carried more career hits, runs, RBIs, doubles and home runs into the season than any other Jay. Campbell was also one of the top pit- chers, being used as both a starter and reliever. When not pitching, he split time between catcher and the outfield. 122 Creighton baseball players prepare for the season in the gym- nasium. 123 The baseball team warms up for the season by practicing in the gym. 124 Baseball other top returners included Elvis Dominquez, John Schnaible, Dave Thomas, Andy Holt and Steve Blietz. Dominquez holds the school season record for walks with 55 and started at shortstop. Schnaible and Thomas were outfielders, while Blietz was used primarily at first base. Among the players debuting with the Jays were Ojea and his twin brother, Alex. Both junior college transfers from Dade North JC in Miami, Fla., Ernie took the se- cond base job held by Doug Palmer for four seasons while Ale x also played the infield. Returner Dave Hartnett added depth to the pitching staff, as did Tim Osgood, Jeff Kopyta, Tom Malicki and Doug Young. For the first time ever, the Missouri Valley Conference played a complete baseball schedule. Creighton played host to Illinois State, Indiana State and Wichita State while traveling to Bradley and Southern Illinois. 125 Intrnmiirals For students who didn ' t participate in organized athletics intramurals offered a chance to get some exer- cise, come competition and a little fun. Flag footall kicked off the long list of fall events offered by the Intramurals office. Silver Bullets won the men ' s ti- tle while the Little Rascals were the women ' s champs. « m 126 127 Intramurals The intramural Softball season concluded with an all- university tournament with 29 teams competing from the professionals, freshman and two undergraduate leagues. Softball champions were Mean Machine in the women ' s division and Chicos in the men ' s division. 128 129 Intromurals other fall intramurals included coed inner tube water polo (won by the Rock Lobsters) and coed volleyball. Organized Crime was the recreational league champ while Newport Beach won the competitive league.

Other Over 40 runners took part in the three-mile run, which raised more than $200 to fund a trip to Appalachia. Pat Meyers was the men ' s winner and Mandy Mallburg won the women ' s prize. The various fraternities and sororities also sponsored sporting events during Greek Week. 138 Intramurals Participation in the Missouri Valley Conference meet highlighted the men ' s cross country season. Six men represented the Bluejays at the meet, held Oct. 29 in Peoria, 111. Creighton finished eighth in the nine-team field with 261 points. West Texas State was last with 272, while Tulsa finished a notch ahead of the Jays at 173. Southern Illinois won the meet with 39 points. The school ' s best individual finisher at the meet was Paul Beckel, who took 48th with a time of 28 minutes, 51 seconds for the five-mile course.

Golf Tennis Golf Eight men participated on the 1983-84 golf team, the se- cond straight year the sport was offered at Creighton after several years absence. Mike Leigh ton served as coach for the team, which opened the fall season with a dual meet loss to Nebraska Wesleyan. The Jays then finished eighth out of 14 teams in the Wesleyan Invitational. Senior Chuck Hudek captained the team. Other members were Al Berding, Jerry Spethman, Bob Winkel, Brian Biernat, Jim Flanery, Mark Miller and Joe Bates. A second-place finish in the Creighton Invitational highlighted the early portion of the men ' s tennis season. The Bluejays won five of their first 12 dual meets, while the women ' s team started out 4-1. The men got off to a quick start after losing their opener 7-2 to Central University of Iowa. A 9-0 win over Nebraska Wesleyan, a default win over Doane and a 9-0 win against Dana gave the Jays a 3-1 mark before three straight losses dropped the record to 3-4. Paul Schultz, Robert Mesbarger, Scott Cawley, Joe Murray, Greg Yahiro, Andy Custer, Mario Lopez and Robert Addington led the men. The only early loss for the women was a 9-0 verdict against Nebraska. Wins came against Wesleyan, Nor- thwest Missouri State, Concordia and North Dakota. Mol- ly Murray, Peg Connor, Becky Howes, Amy Gretman, Julie Grossart, Ann Dougherty, Mary Tomcykowski and Sheila Graft paced the women.

CLUBS ORGANIZATIONS 141 SBG Following a year of turmoil, the recall of a president and vice president and numerous resignations and in- vestigations, the Student Board of Governors was relatively calm in 1983-84. Officers of the SBG were presi- dent Bob Schewe, vice president of student services Don- na Czysz and vice president of finance Oliver Plunkett. One minor controversy occurred when the budget was approved at the Oct. 9 meeting. No money was initially budgeted for Shadows, the student literary publication, resulting in the circulation of a petition on the campus. When Shadows editor Shon Sample presented the petition with 580 signatures to the board, $1,000 was allocated for the publication. The Feb. 26 meeting saw some changes made in the bylaws. The changes were made possible by an earlier bylaw amendment allowing alterations to be made at regular meetings instead of at the annual corporation meeting. A quorum of 50 students required for the annual meeting was not met. The most important bylaw change was made in representative apportionment. Using enrollment figures as a basis, Czysz recommended the number of represen- tatives be increased by three, adding one each from Arts, Business and Allied Health. The changes increase the board to 30 members. f ROBERT SCHEWE - 9 m m 142 143 SBG 144 I , ' • Student Board officers 1983-84: Oliver Plunkett, vice presides ' of finance: Bob Schewe, president; Donna Czysz, vice president of student services: and John McGraw, director of program ming. 145 Alumni The Alumni Relations Office is primarily a service of- fice, oriented towards keeping the approximately 32,000 Creighton University alumni throughout the world in touch with their alma mater. The administrators respon- sible for accomplishing this are the Director of Alumni Relations Chuck Maxwell, Associate Director Larry Maxwell and Assistant Director Carol Johnson. The Alumni Office communicates with Creighton alums in a variety of ways. These include the Alumni Council, which has 18 members representing each school and college of the university. The Council meets 10 times a year with various university administrators such as the president and six vice presidents, to better understand the workings of the university and provide an opportunity to exchange opinion. 146 The Rev.

Leong and Norberto Baysa; annd Larry Maxwell, associate alumni director, at the Hawaii Creighton Club party. 147 Alumni The nationwide network of 54 alumni chapters provides an opportunity for alumni throughout the nation to meet socially. Each chapter has an annual party which is at- tended by a representative from the Alumni Relations Of- fice and a guest speaker, usually the president, one of the vice presidents, a dean or faculty member. The Alumni Relations Office also organizes and pro- motes alumni reunion dinners each year for the schools and college of the university, including Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy. These dinners and special events such as the alumni picnic, homecoming and Thanksgiving Day Mass and Breakfast, bring alumni from all over the country back to Omaha to visit with classmates and friends. In addition, the Alumni Relations Office also sponsors annual alumni tours which in the past have included Aruba, Austria, England, Greece, the French Rivera, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland and cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean. 148 Guests of Michael Keating, Lord Mayor of Dublin, in Mansion Housed were Donald J. Murphy, a member of the Creighton Board of Directors, Mrs. Murphy and Chuck Maxweil, alumni director. Rose Marie Wilson, president of the Creighton University Alum- ni Association, and Carol Johnson, assistant alumni director, discuss plans for the Thanksgiving Day Mass and breakfast. 149 CREIGHTONIAN As a student-run newspaper, the Creightonian allows for both practice and improvement in acquiring impor- tant journalism skills, and first-hand experience in pro- ducing and publishing a newspaper. The editor assumes the position of overseeing and publishing a newspaper that requires hard work, leader- ship and management of time. To a reporter, the Creightonian office is only a drop-off station for copy and receiving new assignments. To the editor, the office begins to take on the characteristics of a second home. Greeted each morning by a growing stack of yet-to-be- edited copy, the end of the day for the editor can come on- ly too soon. When Wednesday, the last day for turning in copy, rolls around, the staff rushes frantically to finish up last- minute stories. As editor, one begins to understand the frustrations and grumblings of previous editors who heard reporters pro- mise, Don ' t worry, it ' s not done yet. But I ' ll have it tomorrow! The week reaches its climax Wednesday night. When all copy is typeset and pictures are printed, the Creighto- nian is ready to be assembled. Headline writing, picture sizing, cutting and squeezing copy into column inches and final proofreading comprise the night ' s activities. Working on last eneregy reserves, the editor wakes up early Thursday morning to complete the final production process. The day is spent at the Catholic Voice, Omaha ' s ar- chdiocesan newspaper, where each section is pasted up and sent to the printer. Only on Friday morning, after delivery of the paper, are all fears of missing pages or blank spaces in the paper relieved for the editor. One compliment such as The paper looks good can make a week ' s work seem worthwhile. -Sue O ' Hanlon Editor Spring semester f 150 i 151 Fall semester Crdghtonian California at 24th Street Omaha, ME 68178 I%one (402) 28(M058; 280-2828 Second-class postage paid at Omaha.

The publication was stopped when America entered World War II in 1941. A petition by the Student Board of Governors resur- rected the publication in 1948, and that organization has sponsored the Bluejay ever since. The yearbook is both a reflection of the student mood during the school year and an informal chronicle of the term ' s events. 156 r W OF MARCH 5UN MOM TU£ WED THU FRI SA 1 Z 3 S 6 7 y o IZ 13 If s 6 7 f M 20 zt 33. ij DAy ■s 24, %1 It Z ? 3o 3i . i« - ' 158 Future plans for the yearbook include moving to a new office and darkroom facility on the first floor of Hitch- cock Communication Arts building. The move is sched- uled to take place this summer. Charles Zuegner has been faculty adviser for the publication since 1960. 159 KOCU KOCU (K55) is Creighton ' s own radio station. K55 has been in existence since 1948 and now broadcasts carrier current via cable reaching the four on-campus dor- mitories. It was scheduled to also reach the Kiewit Physical Fitness Center. K55 is located on the second floor of the Hitchcock Com- munication Arts building. It occupies five small rooms: an office, record library, control room, news room production studio and Associated Press teletype room. KOCU had a staff of 40 - two co-managers each semester, a news director, sales director, news staff, sales staff, disc jockeys and traffic personnel. The station is supported financially by the Department of Journalism and advertising sales. It is managed en- tirely by Creighton students and the staff adviser is Thomas Berg. Most of the staff consisted of volunteers while others worked at the station for lab hours as part of their basic broadcasting class. 160 161 L JJI ' -i 162 163 164 Creighton Cable Many people know that the journalism major exists at Creighton, but what many people don ' t realize is that Creighton ' s journalism department produces two televi- sion shows, Creighton Perspective and Creighton CLose ' Up. Creighton Close ' Up originated two years ago and Creighton Perspective began one year ago under the direction of Dr. Bruce Hough and Gordon Sroufe, two journalism instructors. The programs offer students the needed on ' air experience that is so important in the broadcasting field. There are several distinctions between the two pro- grams. Creighton Perspective is an in ' studio production while Creighton Close ' Up is shot on location and then edited into the weekly segments. Creighton Perspective is considered a special project in journalism and is worth three credit hours. Creighton Close ' Up, which is also worth three hours of credit, is a paid journalism intern- ship. 165 166 Creighton Cable Both shows are aired on Cox Cable ' s channel 13 in Omaha and on channel 2 in Creighton ' s cable system. In the Fall semester there were two hostesses of Creighton Perspective; Arts senior Nancy Fiedler and Arts junior Mary Kate Wells. In the Spring semester Arts junior Barb Burbach was the hostess as Nancy Fiedler stepped behind the camera as director of the weekly pro- gram. Arts senior Liz Coury and Karen Jenkins were hostesses of the Fall season of Creighton Close ' Up. The Spring semester ' s Close ' Up was hosted by the team of Arts senior Gary Wanser and Arts junior Mary Kate Wells. 167 Community Service The Creighton Community Service Center provides an avenue by which Creighton talents and resources are bonded with those in need. While helping others, students are able to enrich themselves, become aware of the com- munity in which they live, and actively partake in its development. More than 300 students expressed an interest in doing community service this year. As the year progressed, ap- proximately 150 of these students became involved and worked with projects. There were about 30 active community service pro- jects. A few of them were the Madonna School, helping with the swimming and education classes; The Maplecrest Nursing Home, providing recreation for the elderly; and The Shelter for Domestic Violence, helping care for children while their mothers were in group therapy. 168 169 170 I Community Service Mary Beth Phelan, chaplain moderator of Community Service, said that at a college institution, students tend to be self-centered and community service offers them a way to get out of this tendency and help others. One of the biggest projects Community Sedrvice spon- sored this year was a trip to the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky over Spring Break. Forty-two students went to help the Glenmary Mis- sioners with their services to ther people there. Students were divided into two groups, some going to Vanceburg, Kentucky, and the rest to Harlan, Kentucky. In Harlan, the students went door-to-door to find out what services were needed and in Vanceburg, the students concentrated their energy on home renovation and repair. Senior Paul Pavlik and his sister, Katie, Arts sophomore, played a major role in organizing the project. 171 172 Joslyn Opportunities for appreciation and enjoyment of art are at Creighton ' s doorstep with Joslyn Art Museum just a short walk from campus. In this striking three-level pink Georgian marble structure students enjoy fine works by world renown artists such as El Greco, Goya, Rembrandt, Renoir, Claude Monet, Grant Wood and Frederic Remington. Students ' cultural passes allow them to enjoy the museum ' s permanent and loan collections free charge. A variety of musical styles presented in the Sunday Bagel and Bach features, a film classic series and a chamber music series are only some of the other fine activities the students enjoy. They had a rare opportunity this spring to view a lavish, classy and major exhibit, Views of a Vanishing Frontier. The exhibit is said to have been the most im- portant cultural event ever to emanate from Omaha for a national tour of the United States. It featured watercolor and ethnographic and historical objects from an 1832-34 expedition to North America. The expedition was con- ducted by German naturalist Prince Maximilian and Swiss artist Karl Bodmer. When your friends tell you they saw this exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can tell them you saw it first in Omaha. 173 174 Joslyn 175 ROTC The Reserve Officer Training Corps, better known as ROTC, had 100 cadets enrolled in the fall of 1983. Sixty- three of these cadets were on scholarship. Our mission is to provide elective courses in military science, qualifying students to become commissioned as 2nd lieutenants in the Army upon graduation, said Capt. Bill Wansley, enrollment officer. One of the highlights of the semester was the field train- ing exercise at Camp Ashland near Lincoln, Neb. Thirty cadets practiced rappelling, navigation and rope bridg- ing at the camp. It was a fun day, said Senior cadet Julie Johnson. 176 177 1 , 178 ROTC A formal military dinner, called a dining-in, was held in late October. The guest speaker was Gen. Daniel Sysnayak, Missouri River District chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nine Creighton seniors were honored as distinguished military cadets. In early December, the Military Science Department moved from the Old Gym to the renovated Metro Area Transit building on 24th and Cuming Streets. The new facility offered classrooms, offices, a lab area and rifle range. Capt. Wansley said the senior class was one of the best classes we ' ve ever seen. There were 22 senior cadets, 20 of them on scholarship. They exemplify the quality of students at Creighton, and the quality of future officers in the armed forces, Wansley said. 179 180 Fraternities Sororities Creighton had five fraternities and four sororities on campus. The fraternities were Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Kap- pa Psi, Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon and Sigma Alpha Ep- silon, all nationally chartered. Theta Phi Alpha, Delta Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Sigma Gamma are the four sororities that have memberships ranging from 20 to 110. The Greek life at Creighton is different from most univer- sities because it does not have what is commonly known as Greek Row. But this does not hinder active campus involvement nor does it detract from an active social life of Greek letter members. Every fraternity or sorority is involved in some kind of philanthropy. Members of Theta Phi Alpha play bingo with the elderly and have food drives within the sorority, and Pikes donate a lot of time and effort to the Easter Seals cause. And the obvious : Greeks are known for their great par- ties. Theme parties, all-university parties and formals are among the many forms of fun that Greek-letter members take part in. Aside from partying, studying is also a part of being in organizations such as these. A grade point average which varies within each group is required to be a part of any of these organizations and studying is seen as a value to members. Pledging is an essential and fun part of being in a sorority or fraternity. Most pledges can be identified by books that they carry around as part of the ritual. 181 182 Greek Week Delta Upsilon ' s Creighton chapter has been in ex- istence since 1969. Events included a 50-hour Teeter-a- thon raising $800 for the Diabetes Association, Welcome Week Poker Night, and a Punk Party. This year marks the 150th year of DU International and the 15th anniver- sary of the Creighton Chapter which was celebrated with a spring formal at the Royal Crown Court. Officers were Bill Forbes, president; James Barrios, vice president; Martin Freidel, chapter relations secretary; Mark Randall, secretary; and John Mor- rissey, treasurer. Social service projects included Easter eggs to children at St. Joseph Hospital, volunteering for the Children ' s Museum of Omaha and Christmas caroling at senior citizen homes. Pi Kappa Alpha, with a membership of about 90 men, held its annual fund-raiser for the Easter Seals as well as other philanthropies. Restoration is complete on its house which serves as a national landmark at 3100 Chicago St. About 43 aieii live in the house. Phi Kappa Psi held one of its most successful rushes this year, increasing membership to over 90 men. The fraternity performed philanthropies as well as hosting a wide variety of parties. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, after being reinstated from disciplinary suspension, was said to have come back strong. Membership was over 100 men. Although barred from all first semester Greek activities, the group reorganized in cooperation with its executive council. Sigma Nu has included its annual keg roll in the year ' s events schedule along with assisting Big Brothers of America. The White Rose Formal is the event which culminates another successful year as the fraternity drew in another quality group of freshmen. 183 Pi Koppa Alpha Pi Kappa Alpha: Rick Spicuzza, Don Wilson, Mark Hanna, Bernie Villadiego, Glenn Gart, Tony Genovesi, Bob Schewe, Mike Maguire, Joe O ' Flaherty, Paul Thompson, Ed Cordes, Mark Mowat, Jean Marc Wong, Dirk Frey, Jeff Baumert, Jim Guinan, Kevin Galvin, Paul Christensen, Kent Coxe, Dave Cor- win.

Such a liberal education prepares students for life in a changing world. It is meant to help guide them through a lifetime of free and responsible choice. Through a systematic encounter with the various tradi- tional liberal arts and empirical sciences, students gain a deepening appreciation for life and a strengthening of the ability to respond to its demands with critical in- tellegeiice. A liberal education delimits the natural and human boundaries within which free choice occurs, urg- ing students to see the need for choice and provides them with the means for making choices responsibly. Such intellectual liberation demands responsible in- volvement from students and in return personally and academically enriches their lives The college interprets this enrichment in an explicitly Christian context. It is a Christian context defined by the Catholic Church, enlivened by the contributions of the Jesuit community and shared by many religious and lay faculty and ad- ministrators serving the university. While the college requires disciplined inquiry into cer- tain subjects, it also allows students a wide range of elec- tive choice within the curriculum. The general education component requirements expose students in the college to the traditional humanities, the sciences and to fun- damentals of communicatio; and artistic expression. Each student must also select upper-level courses that focus on values and moral reasoning. As stated in the goals of the college, a liberal education challenges students to appreciate the nature of the human person It allows them to understand scientific method and achievements to express themselves effec- tively and completely.

On Jan. 1, Donald W. Beck, formerly an associate pro- fessor of accounting, became associate dean of the col- lege. He replaced Dr. R. Gary Dean who went on sab- batical. In September a new graduate degree program, a master ' s of computer systems management, was established. According to Dr. Dean, the program was very popular from its inception and drew approximately 60 students during the first semester offered. Courses were taught primarily at Offutt Air Force Base with one section of each course taught at Creighton. Within a Christian environment which professes a global objective of the recognition of the intrinsic value of man, the College of Business Administration is deeply concerned with the development and maturing of philosophies of justice, respect and ethical, moral and social responsibilities toward the community of man. It sets as its overall direction the development of in- dependent thinking, a creative approach to problem solv- ing and a capacity to work with new ideas and changes. The objectives are accompanied by a course of study in- volving current and timely academic content. The four-year undergraduate program comprises two divisions. The first two years are concentrated largely on required courses which provide a broad cultural background and furnish necessary training in the fun- damental principles of business and economics. During the student ' s last two years, required and elective courses provide a familiarity with the basic areas of business administration. In addition to business administration, accounting, economics, finance, management marketing and management information systems majors are offered. In conjuction with the School of Law, the College of Business offers a combined business administration-law program requiring a total of six years to complete. In each field, emphasis is on stimulating students to think logically, to weigh information and make sound decisions from the over-all management point of view.

Designed around three Bachelor ' s degree programs, students graduate with the knowlege and skills to be medical technologists, radiological technologists, nurse anesthesists and respiratory therapists. The program of Radiological Technology is the only one administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. The other three programs are under the direction of the Division of Allied Health Professions of the School of Pharmacy. Besides classroom work, students in these fields are given practical experience through clinical programs at Saint Joseph Hospital. Allied Health students feel nothing can compare to actually working with patients on a one- to-one basis. Boardman, David, B.S.N.A. Cona, John, B.S.N.A. Dishman, Mary, B.S.N.A. Dunn, Robin, B.S.M.T.

Working with patients is part of Allied Health ' s learning program, as Gred Duethman, junior, has discovered. 255 ' m Creighton University is Proud to Present; The Dentists of 1984 Simply stated, the primary goal of the School of Den- tistry is: To educate dental practitioners who are biologically oriented, technically competent, socially sensitive, and ethically and morally responsible. In keeping with the philosophy of Creighton as an in- stitution, one that is dedicated to a higher level of learn- ing, the Dental School also strives To educate general practitioners of dentistry who are intellectually prepared and clinically experienced to the degree that they can safely and confidentially provide comprehensive dental health care with minimal dependence upon dental specialists. The school has 76 graduating seniors this year who will try to live up to these goals. The longtime dean of the dental school, Dr. Robert V. Vining, stepped down from that position in August to become associate to the vice president of health sciences . Dr. Raymond Shaddy served as acting dean. Akin, Larry D., D.D.S.

Creighton University is Proud to Present; The Lawyers of 1984 Creighton ' s Law School brought another dimension to legal education when two 8th Circuit Court of Appeals judges presented the school ' s first Jurists-in-Residence program. Judges Myron H. Bright and Donald R. Ross became temporary residents of the law school during the fall semester while participating in the program. It focused on judiciary decision-making and other aspects of legal and criminal law. The program was designed to provide students insight into the Federal judiciary decision-making process, Ross said. It allowed students to see the human side of the judiciary process by listening to the judge ' s viewpoint rather than just the professor ' s. We also gave them tips on how to become clerks and judges and what to expect from this career. Students were offered a chance to take part in class ses- sions, discussions on areas of special interest and demonstrations on trial and appellate techniques. The highlight of the week-long program was the demonstration on the process of decision-making. The judges explained the decision-making process to students and held an open conference allowing students to see the things involved in court decisions. Also included were discussions about the challenges of law, politics and marriage. The program got a plus from students, faculty and from the judges, who said it gave them personal satisfac- tion to contribute to a worthwhile project while they gain- ed educational experience. This year the popular hooding ceremony was held for the first time in the concert hall at the Joslyn Museum. According to Assistant Dean Kathryn L. Boe, the de- mand for seating outgrew the law school facilities. There was such a tremendous demand for tickets in previous years, she said, they were given out on a rationed basis.

Its educational philosophy is based on the belief that its graduates will be required to eventually fill a complex and dynamic role in society. The school recognizes the need of students to become competent in the basic techniques of the physician, but at the same time places emphasis on developing an understanding of pre-clinical and clinical disciplines. In the 1983-84 school year, the Medical School educated a total of 444 students, with 108 graduating in May. Allen, James L., M.D. Ammala, Edward D., M.D. Archer.

They come for a quality educa- tion and through it master the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent in their profession. In the process of working toward a degree in nursing, they enhance their intellectual, spiritual and physical potential. Integrity and a sense of values are enhanced, as well as verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Generic students spend four academic years com- pleting requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Nurs- ing. Nursing students ' first year is spent in the study of liberal arts and science courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. After one year of formal college, including re- quired prerequisite courses, students can enroll in the School of Nursing. From the second year until graduation they then continue their liberal arts and science educa- tion while concurrently taking nursing courses. The capping and pinning ceremony marks their first milestone into the nursing profession. Held in January of their sophomore year, it is a ceremony of great significance. Family and friends mark the date as much as a year in advance and come from around the world to attend, according to Shiela M. Circiulla, assistant pro- fessor of nursing. After four years of difficult courses and skill develop- ment, graduates look back with pride at their years at Creighton. They have fond memories of capping and pin- ning ceremonies, formal dinner dances and day-to-day campus life. They have made it through long hours of clinical experience and late nights spent pouring over text books. Upon completion of the requirements in the bac- calaureate program in nursing, the students are eligible to take state board examinations for licensure as registered nurses. They are ready to go on to graduate school or out into the world and apply their knowledge and skills with competence and confidence to practice the high quality of nursing care demanded of them during their schooling at Creighton.

It combines aspects of a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.) and Master ' s of Business Administration degree (MBA). Students now have the opportunity to earn a Pharm. D.-MBA in only two additional summers beyond the time normally taken to earn a Pharm D. degree. In many cases an MBA is almost a necessity for an in- dividual to achieve his or her career advancement poten- tial, said Dr. L. Kirk Benedict, dean of the School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. The need for professionally trained administrators in the field of phar- macy is quite evident throughout the country and this need inevitably will continue to grow. In many cases, this additional schooling requires from four to six years of studies on a part-time basis. Ballhagen, Kathryn, B.S. Pharm. Beat. David, B.S. Pharm. Boivin, San Jaunita, B.S. Pharm. D.

It is in this setting that the student must make an inward search... Hj h, ' 1 J 318 College is a chance to discover the possibilities of one ' s potential. For all, there is one basic and fundamen- tal test... 319 IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don ' t deal in lies. Or being hated, don ' t give way to hating. And yet don ' t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim ; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same ; If you can bear to hear the truth you ' ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. And stoop and build ' em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss. And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone. And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ' Hold On! ' : If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds ' worth of distance run. Yours is the Earth and everything that ' s in it. And - which is more - you ' ll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling 320 WALSWOHTH PCBUSHINC COMPANY MARCELINE. MISSOURI e4«U
