BLUEJAY 1986 TLIGHT PLAN Jreighton Univeristy Omaha, Nebraska Volume 56 FLIGHT PLAN '  n I For the Future By Catherine Stahl As a freshman, you come to Creighton with high hopes of achievement. Most of you are leaving home for the first time and face your biggest responsibility-becoming in- dependent. During your first year, you realize college is harder than you expected. Most of your introductory classes are too large to have personal contact with students and pro- fessors. You must devote quality time for homework, something not usually done in high school. If partying becomes a favorite pastime, grades suffer. No one is there to make you get out of bed to go to classes. If you are sick, you must contact your professors to make up work. Everything falls on your shoulders and the pressure can become overwhelming. But during this year, close bonds of friendship are form- ed, many lasting a lifetime. While you thought you would never find friends as good as the ones you left behind, you begin to form friendships with people from all parts of the country, even with students from another country. Because your backgrounds are different, you learn about new cultures and find that people, no matter where they are from, can enrich your own life in some way. While homesickness can set in, you are so busy that let- ters and phone calls compensate. When you go home for vacation, things are not as exciting as you thought they would be. When you reach your sophomore and junior year, you begin to form your own ideas about life. You choose a ma- jor, sometimes after several attempts, and settle down to reach your goals. Your classes get smaller as you become more focused in your field. You begin to know and respect your professors. While your friends go their own way, the bonds of friend- ship still remain. As you look around, you realize you are maturing with the university. You see changes taking place and have a hard time remembering how the campus looked as a freshman. It seems Creighton is always under reconstruc- tion somewhere-either buildings or landscape. Your daydreams of high school days now turn to dreams and hopes for what the future holds. Instead of reacting to what people tell you to do, you become self-motivated. Reaching your senior year, reality hits. One more year as a student, unless professional school is in your future. As you look at the freshmen, you know that even though life was easier then, it ' s nice to have gotten this far. Senior parties are exciting until you realize that you pro- bably won ' t see most of these people after graduation. Finishing up your required classes can be tough, but fin- ding time to spend with friends is a must. Where will you find a job? What city do you want to live in? Is your resume complete and are you proud of it? Where do you go from here? . .. ,j. Your life is in limbo and it seems that college is holdmg you back when you want to go forward. But as May rolls around and graduation nears, you begin to look at Creighton in a different light. Was academics the most im- portant thing the university offered? While you can t dispute the importance of academics, you realize that Creighton gave you so much more-a flight plan for your future. ; %7 .-35 x; 1 Lj i ra 1 1 1 ■1 . w. ry,, , , , H TT. « SI ■ H TABLE OF EVENTS A DAY IN THE LIFE STUDENT LIFE ACADEMICS SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS SENIORS INDEX ■ I CONTENTS 14 48 68 104 126 206 274 340 Campaign for Creighton By Tina Diedrichsen Campaign for Creighton is a five year capital fund-raising program which started efforts to raise $70 million in October 1985. In the spring semester of that same academic year, the program had reached $44.7 million, 63 percent of its goal. Nine members make up the Leadership Gifts Committee, headed by Robert Daugherty, chair- man of Valmont Industries. The committee is really the key group in helping to solicit support for Creighton, said the Rev. James E. Hoff, S.J., president of Creighton University foundation. The five year plan allocated funds for various campus improvement projects as well as funds especially directed to endowment priorities. Student aid tops the list of fund allocations with $13.5 million going toward scholarships, grants, loans and student employment. Another important program is the endowed professorships which will hopefully generate more interest from incom- ing students as well as faculty members. The faculty endowment program will enable the university to attract distinguished outside scholars. The endowed professor- ship program will receive $5 million from the total goal of the campaign. The campaign also included in its plan significant funds for the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Dentistry. Funds will also be channeled into such academic pro- grams as Cardiology, the Cancer Center, Gerontology Center, Com- munity Health Care, the Center for Service to the Church and ILAC. Money will also be allocated to the campus libraries and the Creighton Law Review. The most evident use of the money will be seen on campus. A significant portion of the funds will be used to renovate existing campus buildings and to build new facilities to accom- modate the growing computer center and a center to house the Fine and Performing Arts. Two major projects which will greatly benefit the students are a proposed Student Center and athletic playing fields on campus. The $70 million campaign is the most ambitious in Creighton ' s history, said Hoff, inasmuch as all $70 million is being sought from private donors. In past development campaigns, 60 percent of the goal has been from federal sources. The overall goal of the campaign, according to Hoff, is to keep educa- tion affordable and as accessible as possible. Nearly two-thirds of the en- dowed funds are for student assistance, faculty development and professorships. The purpose of the campaign for Creighton is to improve the quality of education provided by Creighton, Hoff said. Also to keep tuition as low as possible and to help those students who want to attend Creighton. How the site of the proposed student center looks today. An architect ' s rendering of the planned $5 million Creighton Student Center. By Leslie Glover Although construction has not started, plans are underway for Creighton ' s Student Center. The $5.5 million project will be located on the northwest area by the Kiewit Center. Dr. John Cernech, Vice President for Student Services, says the location was chosen because he wanted the center to be on a main walkway and to have easy access for students. There is a desperate need for a social gathering place for students on Creighton ' s campus. Cernech said. He also said that the library and the main floors of the residence halls are being used for socializing and that is not suitable. The east side of the three-story center, designed by Tom Finney of the Leo Daily architectural firm, will be completely underground with the west end standing the full three stories. We want to enhance the en- vironment and really improve it. Cernech said. The $5.5 milhon will be raised from Creighton ' s five year fund drive. The drive ' s goal is $70 million over five years. Cernech said Creighton follows the policy that they will not begin construction on any project until the source of money is identified. Two years ago, the Student Board of Governors presented the idea to the Rev. Michael Morrison, S.J. Later, a committee was started and is still trying to get the Student Center built. I think a Student Center will com- plete the campus and unify the students, Arts junior Heidi Simonin said. The center will house office space for SBG and other student organiza- tions, T.V. and lounge areas, bank- ing facilities, a post office, meeting rooms, a fireplace and a copy center. It will also house restaurants, game rooms and shops. Although I ' ll graduate before it is built, I ' m really happy to see Creighton build a student center, Arts junior Mary Coniglio said. My hope is to see construction begin in the next two or three years, Cernech said. Highlights of 1985-86 By Beth Harig Triumphs and tragedies, world turmoil and generosity, discoveries, disease, disaster, miracles; 1985-1986 had its share. The world held its breath during a frightening series of terrorist nightmares. Palestinians hijacked TWA flight 847 in June; four PLO men seized an Italian ship in Oc- tober. Sixty were killed in the November hijacking of an Egyptian airliner. Nature was at her most choatic. A dam burst in Italy and killed 200. A landslide in Puerto Rico took 150 more lives. A Mexico earthquake left 5,000 dead and 150,000 homeless. Then, in November 20,000 were left dead or missing in mud and ashes when Colombia ' s 17,716 foot Nevado del Ruiz erupted. Yet there was reason for hope. A summit meeting held promise and a charismatic new leader took the reins of the Kremlin. Mikhail Gor- bachev, 54, proved to be a tough negotiator at the summit, but he charmed East and West with his vigor and wit. Charity was in and celebrities gathered together to raise big money for big causes. For the starv- ing, 45 of the hottest musicians pro- duced the USA for Africa album, poster and video for $37 million. Six- teen hours of non-stop music at the Live Aid concert in July produced $10.5 million to save lives in Africa. Fashion designers and opera stars held benefits. Willie Nelson organiz- ed Farm Aid to harvest $10 million and legislative support for struggl- ing American farmers. Another type of fund-raising drive in 1985 was an effort to keep the torch ht. This was an effort to raise $23 million to restore the Statue of Liberty, one of America ' s most powerful symbols of freedom and President Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev discuss international matu rs at the summit meeting. U.S.A. for Africa raised over $37 millior for the starvir g in Africa. hope. The corrosive action of almost a century of salt air and weather had eaten away at the iron and copper framework and American dollars were needed to keep the Lady from falling down. In 1985, the U.S. observed the an- niversaries of two wars. President Reagan commemorated World War II with a 10-day European tour culminating in a VE-Day address to the European Parliament. It ha d been 10 years since the Vietnam War, a conflict which left 58,000 dead, 300,000 wounded and our coun- try ' s unity shaken. With parades and memorials we tried to honor the forgotten who had fought so bravely. Seventy-three years after the un- sinkable Titanic sank, it was found, 400 miles off the coast of New- foundland. The floating palace was photographed two miles deep in the Atlantic. The depth that had pro- tected the Titanic from discovery for so long had also shielded her from the destructive elements and photos offered eerie images of life on board. Science provided the world with other discoveries. In 1986, the 1,800 lb. spacecraft. Voyager 2, sped around Uranus. Voyager 2 photographed Uranus ' five known satellites and discovered 10 tiny new moons. It photographed the nine known rings and found at least two more. The spacecraft pried an in- credible amount of information from Uranus, despite the fact that the giant planet is shrouded by a thick, opaque, blue-green atmosphere. Besides disasters, discoveries and politics, the nation took notice of the people who made their marks; the newsmakers. These people often became a light-hearted sideline to the more serious news. The 308-pound man with a 48-inch waist, William The Refrigerator Perry, became the heaviest man in NFL history to score a touchdown off of a set play. With the aid of Perry, the Chicago Bears went on to defeat the New England Patriots in Superbowl XX. A Chicago columnist called the decision to use Perry for PLAYB012 tl tlMIII ?•! • t] 11 Highlights of 1985-86 offense the best use of fat since the invention of bacon. The popularity of Dr. Ruth Westheimer ' s advice show, Good Sex, brought a hard-to-talk-about subject out in the open. New York ' s Dr. Ruth, 57, boosted her national reputation by publishing a sex book for teens, conducting a sex call-in show on radio and introducing a board game -- strictly for folks over 21. A few celebrity couples made the news, too. Music man Billy Joel and model Christie Brinkley tied the knot with a shipboard wedding. Actress-model Julianne Phillips married Bruce Springsteen in May, while the Boss ' album Born in the U.S.A. sold 15 million copies worldwide. And Charles and Diana of Wales continued their reign as the media ' s favorite couple. With horror, the nation accepted the news that Rock Hudson had Ac- quired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome. The handsome, rugged and sexy Hudson made some 65 films and was twice voted Hollywood ' s number one box office draw. This admission that he had AIDS drew a belated tide of public attention and funds to the disease. As 1985 went out and 1986 came in, one could only hope for a year of less turmoil and fewer disasters. But on Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger burst into white and yellow fire a minute after liftoff. Americans had soared into space 55 times over 25 years, and their safe return came to be taken for granted. Disbelief turned to horror as the reality became all too clear: Six astronauts and New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe perished in a fireball nine miles above the Atlantic Ocean. The coun- try mourned for the seven, who, diverse in sex, race, and aspiration, embodied the ideals of America. One of the foremost American ideals, freedom, was magnified through the struggle in the Philip- pines and in the person of Corazon Aquino. After 20 years of a virtually un- contested ru le, Ferdinand Marcos was forced to step down Feb. 26, 1986. In November, after pressure from the Reagan Administration, Marcos held an election to prove how popular he was. One month later. Corazon Aquino, widow of the assassinated Sen. Benigno Aquino, announced her challenge. Fraud in the election process was visible immediately. Amid evidence of violence and tampering, both Marcos and Mrs. Aquino claimed victory. After Marcos lost the sup- port of much of the military as well as control of the local TV station, he fled the Philippines for the sanc- tuary that America offered. Finally, on Feb. 27, Corazon Aquino took an oath for a govern- ment Dedicated to upholding truth and justice, morality and decency, freedom and democracy. While Mrs. Aquino is extremely popular with the Filipino people, she does lack practical experience in governing. Monumental problems of a stagnating economy, a large com- munist threat, and corruption at all levels of the government and of the military are the staggering pro- blems that her new government faces. While the future of her regime is uncertain, her vitality should hopefully provide the leadership the Filipino people so desperately need. 12 Philippine President Corazon Aquino has her hands full with a country in economic turmoil. 13 14 15 Is this Arts senior Dave Tarabocchia do- ing his Kenny Loggins imitation for the Rock-Alike contest?

The week of Aug. 19th through the 25th was Freshmen Welcome Week. Creighton University, in all its glory and splendor, tried to make the newest members of its family welcome. College life for most began with a long or short trip in a car or plane to beautiful urban Omaha. They came from all areas of the nation. Yes, even a few came from the state that boasts The Good Life, Nebraska. The cars came rolling in one by one to the Creighton campus. Gaily dressed group leaders greeted students and parents alike with a giddy grin and a color-coordinated piece of parchment showing where to go. Upon reaching the designated area of drop off, the group leaders proceeded to tender-lovingly toss the freshmen ' s most treasured posses- sions into a laundry cart. With great effort they pushed and pulled the cart all the way to the heavenly new home of the beloved respective freshmen. A quick throw here and a dump-off there left a freshman in a room with two parents, a pile of pillaged possessions and a strange new face staring so hard his eyes seemed to pop out. This face could only be John Doe from North Dakota. Meanwhile, Dad got into it with Mr. Doe about the price of heifers and winter wheat. Yes, it looked like a long week ahead for one poor freshman. All settled in, or at least seemingly so, it was time for all good freshmen to explore the acres of the Creighton campus. Time was ample because the first major social event of col- lege life did not start for two more hours. Oh, the stomach started to rumble; it must be time to eat. After waiting in a long line, the freshmen experienced Saga for the first time. The Alka-Seltzer in the campus kit box came in handy. The first friendships were made later that evening. The Play fair Comedy Troupe broke the ice with many child-like games. A dance and dunk party followed around the foun- tain in front of St. John ' s. The even- ing ended sometime Tuesday morn- ing. A ' ' ' GeflOTSJ n«rv -. A freshman ' s view New adventures awaited as the freshmen were introduced to academics via the president and respective deans. Also introduced that day were the adviser, group leaders and groupies of his or her own seminar class. A wild and wet pool party concluded the scheduled events but off-campus fun was abound. Wednesday was smile for the camera day. The key to Creighton, the ID card, was made and issued to the freshmen. Just think how proud mom would be if she could have seen us then. Oh, how do I register? Those words ran through the many scatter- brained freshmen because Thursday was registration day. But the group leaders and advisers, great gurus that they were, eased the minds of the troubled freshmen with great words of encouragement. On Friday, the event was plann- ed. It was two hours of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Grueling competition went on in every event ranging from Dizzy Izzy to a balloon toss. The heat of the day was just too much for some freshmen, so they stripped down to nothing but a sheet. Yes, you guessed it; it was toga time. Many fine goddesses adorned the fountain in their multi-colored spectrum of sheets. There were even a couple of designer toga originals. Saturday was the end of an era and so it was fitting that parties could be found all over campus. The freshmen ended a week of welcome to begin a year of work. The most important aspect of Welcome Week was the friends that were made. A special and unique bond was formed between freshmen and the Creighton community.

It was a back to school event which attempted to combine culture with aspects of a social event. The Omaha Symphony performed, providing a variety of music for everyone ' s entertainment. Saga also got into the act, serving a picnic din- ner which attracted over 500 students. We tried to think of an event which everyone could enjoy, S.B.G. President Joe Kelly said. We in- vited students, faculty, ad- ministrators and the general public to come to the event. It was a unique experience for all who attended, a chance to enjoy good music, food and the beautiful atmosphere on the mall. It was a great way to welcome everyone back and throw in a little culture at the same time, Kelly said. Top left: What are friends for?

The Mass of the Holy Spirit, a traditional Mass at Creighton to launch the school year, was held Wednesday, Sept. 17. The Mass has become an annual event at Creighton. The purpose, ac- cording to the Rev. Thomas Schloemer, S.J., is to call down the Spirit ' s blessing for the school year. According to Schloemer, the Mass originated from Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles in the form of tongues of fire. It gave people the courage and desire to start preaching. This relates to the Holy Spirit ' s function of giving wisdom and insight. The Mass is for praying for light, guidance and spiritual strength. I think it is particularly helpful at the beginning of the school year, the Rev. Bernard Portz, S.J., choir director, said. The Rev. Michael Morrison, S.J., president of Creighton, was the presiding celebrant. The Rev. Ted Bohr, S.J., pastor of St. John ' s Church, served as homilist for the Mass. Student and faculty participation in the Mass was high. Incense bearers danced through the church using movements that symbolized lifting gifts to the Lord to be blessed. Oliver Plunkett, 1984-85 Student Board of Governors President, led the processional. Administrators served as fire bearers and carried colorful banners. Approximately 35 celebrants, members of Creighton ' s Jesuit community, appeared in the procession. The Mass stressed the important role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. In the Spirit we are pulled together. We are one, homilist Bohr said. No one can say Jesus is Lord but in the Holy Spirit. The body is one and has many members. All are one body. Top left: The Rev.

The most anticipated SBG event of the first semester was musician Paul Shaffer ' s appearance in Upper Brandeis Oct. 5. Expectations were high and Shaffer, the bandleader on NBC ' s Late Night with David Let- terman, didn ' t disappoint. An unusually receptive crowd began lining up 45 minutes before the show and had snaked around Swanson Hall by the time they were admitted. Within minutes, Upper Brandeis had filled to standing room only. The festive mood of the audience was magnified by the performance of Urban Surrender, a local jazz- rock f usion combo. Their 45-minute set of uptempo instrumentals, enhanced by tight playing and inten- sity, brought the crowd to its feet several times. Shaffer, appearing only the second time in front of a college audience, opened his portion of the show with a brief outline of his history in the music business. He also explained how he got involved with television-- A bunch of Canadian kids came down to New York to pro- duce a show called ' Saturday Night Live ' --and how his myriad talents have kept him in demand in both the television and music world. Following a lively question-and- answer session, Shaffer hooked up with Urban Surrender in a rehearsal similar to those he holds with the Late Nighf ' band. Shaffer is also known for his ap- pearances on Saturday Night Live and in the movies, The Blues Brothers, Gilda Live, and This Is Spinal Tap. 29 30 Top: Dr. Elizabeth Loftus stops to answer questions after her lecture on The Misfortunes of Memory.

One major change af- fected the social habits of several hundred Creighton students. In January 1985, the Nebraska drinking age rose from 20 to 21 which initiated a change in Creighton ' s drinking policies. In short, the revised policy states that alcohol should be used respon- sibly and in accordance with Nebraska state laws. As a result of the new drinking policy, the Student Board of Governors took a different attitude toward drinking on campus. This new attitude affected the number and type of Friday After- noon Club and Sure Happy It ' s Thursday parties. We basically want to take the emphasis away from the alcohol consumed at these parties and place more emphasis on the social aspect, SBG President Joe Kelly said. The SBG ' s main goal was to change the atmosphere of the F.A.C. and Thursday parties. Alcohol was still served at the parties ; however, other non-alcoholic beverages were made available and food was also served.

It was instituted to allow Creighton ' s dance students the opportunity to work with other ar- tists and to give live performances. The 1985 performances, held in the beginning of November, had four distinct parts, each catering to dif- ferent tastes. The first dance, Bach. Skip, and a Hop, commemorates the 300th an- niversary of Johann Sebastian Bach ' s birthday. It was choreographed by Bonnie Merrill of Portland State University. The second segment, Guitar Pieces, was choreographed by Valerie Roch, assistant professor of Fine and Performing Arts at Creighton, and was influenced by the classical Spanish music of An- dres Segovia. The third part, Situations: A Fantasia, was the joint effort of Jill Lile; choreographer, Vicky Loschuk; painter, and Dewey Hocevar; musical composer. They strove to produce a piece that fused the visual arts of dance and painting with that of music to form a modern dance portrait. The final dance was Hansel and Gretel, and was the classical ele- ment of the program. The dance was choreograp hed by Kenneth Hughes ; and was performed in full costume to the music of Tchaikovsky. Principal dancers in this perfor- mance were: Linda Wieczorek, Julie Gilligan, Marilyn Larsen, Melodie Gust, Tom McCleary, Mary Beth Quinn, Marcy Ziska, Connie Loren- zo, and Lynne Nevin.

Ac- cording to Klem, the attitude each member of the cast and crew took was one of the important aspects of the production. Although the play tends to be sexist, the members of the cast chose to view the play more as a farce. When you have two people hitting each other with pillows instead of their hands, Klem said, it brings out the more humorous side of the script and it makes it much easier for the audience to swallow. The story is one of two sisters: Bianca (Arts freshman Jackie Hogan), coy, spoiled, and well- mannered, and Kate (Arts senior Kathy Cristal), brash and out- spoken. Their dedicated father Bap- tiste (Ray Means) has a terrible time marrying off the older daughter Kate, then runs into dif- ficulty finding the right suitor for Bia nca ' s hand. Since Bianca cannot marry before Kate, Bianca ' s suitors (Jerry Ostdiek, Paul Dedinsky, Wes Glowers, and George Drance), col- laborate to find a husband for Kate. Enter Petruchio (Arts senior Frank Kosmicki) who sets out to tame the shrew . He woos Kate by giving her a dose of her own violent and childish medicine, and then kills her with kindness. Along with the acting, Klem incor- porated live music by Arts senior Bill Cook on stage, believing it would make it much more interesting to the audience. The costuming was unique: instead of tight fitting costumes, Klem decided on a looser look. The set, created by technical director Tom Mayers, was intimate and allowed for direct eye contact between actors and the audience. Klem made this production of Taming of the Shrew less in- telluctual with more movement so people can relate. To this end he fill- ed the show with many burlesque sight gags and routines. This made the play action-packed and full of fun. 38 Top left, clockwise: Kate (Kathy Cristal) and Petruchio (Frank Kosmicki) are still uncomfortable with each other after a pillow fight.

The play, about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his musical rival Antonio Salieri, contrasted many types of human behavior such as good, evil, forgiveness, brotherhood, jealousy, happiness and pain. Mozart was played by Arts senior Dan Deschler and Salieri was played by Alan Klem, a professional actor- director who was a guest artist at Creighton. As Mozart, Deschler was light- footed, frisky, spoiled and downright fun. But at the same time it was not difficult to pity him for all his childish behavior and need for ap- proval. Klem is so completely consumed by Salieri ' s role that he becomes Salieri. Steve Millburg, Omaha World-Herald reviewer, said that Klem is a master of nuance who knows that underplaying can be much more emotionally devastating than blustering on stage. Millburg also said that the others in the 19 person cast were excellent, with not a weak link among them. The non-professionals in the cast didn ' t concede best-actor honors to Klem without a fight. Although the play centered on a serious subject, it was filled with unexpected humor. An expecially delightful scene between Mozart and his fiancee, Constanze, played by Arts freshman Margie DuBe, con- sisted of a risque game of cat and mouse. The production was directed by Suzanne Dieckman, an associate professor of performing arts. 42 rA Top left, clockwise: Mozart (Dan Deschler), who is drunk, sings, The Girl Who Doesn ' t Love Me.

While every day is uni- quely different, there still are cer- tain traditions at the University that seem to never change. Saga makes breakfast and starts lunch early in the morning. Students have a hard time staying awake dur- ing their early morning classes. St. John ' s offers Mass at noon. Students enjoy the Kiew it Center and Public Safety locks up the buildings at night. These are just a few of the many things that happen on Creighton ' s campus. We thought it would be in- teresting to capture some of the highlights in a day at Creighton. We chose Ash Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1986 because, being a Jesuit Univer- sity, it not only seemed fitting, but the campus seems more vibrant and full of excitement on such a day. I must thank the Rev. Don Doll, S.J., and his Photojournalism class for participating in such a monumental task of capturing a day in the life at Creighton. It never could have happened without their help. -Editor 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Top left, clockwise: The General Biology lecture, which starts at 8 a.m., is a little too early for some students.

Haig talks at CU By Maureen McGinley It is important in the conduct of our foreign affairs today in the nuclear age, that we do so with balance between the realities in which we live, and the values which we cherish ... What does the American value stand for? Freedom, individual dignity, rule of law and being the defender of the op- pressed, Gen. Alexander Haig reminded the Creighton University and the Omaha business com- munities. Haig was in Omaha to speak at the John P. Begley breakfast and lec- tured sponsored by the Creighton College of Business Administration for members of the Omaha Business community. It was held in the City Auditorium Convention Center. He later addressed the campus community during a noon lecture in the Kiewit Fitness Center in con- junction with the Creighton Lec- tures, Films and Concerts Commit- tee. The breakfast lecture was at- tended by about 1,600 while the after- noon lecture drew about 1,000. In January 1969, Haig served as senior military adviser to Dr. Henry Kissinger. Within two years he became deputy assistant to the president for National Security Af- fairs. He was promoted to full general in 1972. In May 1973, Presi- dent Nixon appointed him to rebuild the White House staff and he was subsequently named chief of staff. In October 1974, President Ford recalled him to active duty as commander-in-chief, U.S. European Command. Two months later he was ap- pointed Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. Gen. Haig was sworn in as the nation ' s 59th secretary of state on Jan. 22, 1981 under Presi- dent Reagan. Haig is now the president of Worldwide Consultants, Inc., pro- viding consulting for domestic and international corporations. He is the author of the book, Caveat: Realism, Reagan and Foreign Policy published by MacMillan Publishing Company and recently published in France, Italy, Germany and Japan. Haig spoke on topics which includ- ed Soviet U.S. relations, the U.S. economy and the response to ter- rorism in the world. The time has come to re -think detente. To seek to establish a new relationship with the Soviet Union based on a consistent American policy and recognize above all else that all states are going to be in- fluenced as much by self-interest as ideology, Haig said. The jury is still out in regards to Mr. Gorbachev, Haig said. If you look upon him as the modern renaissance man, you might look underneath, he may well be an iron fist in a velvet glove. Haig pointed out that the time Gorbachev has been in power in Russia, he has been repressive and neo-Stalinistic. Haig said he is optimistic regar- ding the future of our economy. He said the culprit of the economy is the over-valued American dollar. He said, however, that the value is now dropping. The American farmer has suf- fered terribly and is one of the single greatest strengths of our society, Haig said. The problem is that the farm programs don ' t really help the farmer, but rather those who manage the products of the American farmer. The dollar is not so over-valued now, and the increas- ing benefit will be felt by the American farmer. In regard to arms control, Haig said, It is not arms that cause con- flict, but rather attitudes. We must control the forces which cause war in the first place. There will be no Above: Students listen to Haig as some haunting words hang in the back. Right: Haig enjoys questions from the crowd as he signs autographs. 60 L • ■f % % Alexander Haig winners in a nuclear war. Our leaders know that. But we must give our leaders the comfort of dealing from even bases. We must maintain our defenses not to prevail, but to prevent outbreaks. Haig said what is needed is equitable reduction in nuclear arms. He also pointed out that the Soviets have increased their spending on defense by four to five percent a year for the past twenty years. Commenting on terrorist ac- tivities, Haig said there are four fallacies in dealing with terrorists. The first is that there is more con- cern on the effect an action will have on the voters than on the terrorists. Secondly, to try and keep clean hands when dealing with terrorists will insure a failure to act at all. The third factor is that we do not label governments as being terroristic. And lastly, we cannot hope to main- tain peace if we overlook violations of the law. Looking to the future, Haig said, In the 70s we disserviced our youth. We told them we were running out of everything -- food, shelter, everything. This is not so. We are in a world of new technology which will bring an unprecedented aura of economy and opportunity that we have not seen before. Haig said that he recently heard a skeptic announce that politics was the only game in America where the spectator always loses. And if you are wise and prudent, you make yourself a participant. And a partici- pant doesn ' t lose, he said.

The innovations were, for the most part, successful. Fall Frolics, on October 2b..x, was a costume dance, with a $100 cash prize going to the couple with he best costumes. Holly Hilton an ner date, dressed as the Flinstones, won the competition. This SBG dance was held at the Omaha Livestock Exchange and music was provided by The Wallets . Winter Whirl was held at the Red Lion Ballroom on February 22, with a slightly different twist. A prime rib dinner at the Red Lion before the dance was offered for $15 per per- son. Music was provided by The Oh ' s . 67 s T U D E N T L • I F E 68 69 Becoming an RA is Tough Work Bv Kitty Smith The process of selecting resident advisers for dorms at Creighton is intense. The R.A. candidate must have junior status, a 2.7 QPA, hve in the dorms and be registered for 18 hours or less during this time. The individual must also have strong verbal communication skills which enable him to interact with students: discussing problems, quieting or informing them of viola- tions, and being a friend and guide. Being able to organize and plan floor functions, complete weekly and monthly reports and know universi- ty policies are also a must. The R.A. has little or no privacy, makes on the spot decisions, main- tains composure in difficult situa- tions and sometimes has to put the needs of others before his own. En- trusted with confidential informa- tion, he must be mentally prepared to resolve problems at any time. While doing all of these things, the R.A. must remain conscious of his responsibility to show exemplary behavior. There are many things to do when applying for the position of R.A. After the eight-page application is filled out, the interviews begin. The first interview is by a student panel which includes the head R.A., one other R.A. and a member of the Student Board of Governors. In this interview, the panel looks for many things. General- traits such as the ability to communicate, basic social skills, personal qualities and general personality are noted. Past job ex- perience, special training, volunteer work, hobbies and especially residence hall and group living ex- periences are looked at. The second interview is by an ad- ministrative panel which includes the complex coordinator and a graduate assistant. These two inter- views help screen the candidates to lop right, clockwise : Senior Joe O ' Flaherty. RA in Swanson, kicks back as he looks up a phone number while working the desk.

Senior Marvin Webb, everybody ' s favorite RA, clowns around at Swanson desk. Mary Roman, Deglman RA, works the desk. see if they pass minimal re- quirements. After this, the current R.A.s take the candidates out to see them in a less formal atmosphere. From this long and intense process, the R.A.s are selected. Once selection is com- plete, the training begins for Welcome Week. R.A.s must also at- tend weekly meetings. In case an R.A. must resign for some unforeseen reason, a pool of alternates is also chosen. When a position becomes available, students from the pool of alternates are called in to be inter- viewed. Dave Schweitzer, Arts junior, became the R.A. on 7 South, Swanson Hall a few weeks into the fall semester. It was hard to come into being an R.A. mid-semester. The guys on the floor already knew each other and were into their own activities so it took longer to get to know everyone, he said. Junior Marie Lebins became the R.A. on 6 South, Swanson Hall just after fall mid-terms. The easiest thing for me was that I knew some of the girls on the floor already and everyone helped to make the transi- tion, expecially the rest of the staff and the girls on the floor, Lebins said. Mary Ronan, Arts junior, became the resident adviser of 3 Deglman at the beginning of spring semester. After the four-day training session, she began her duties. It ' s important to be available to the girls. Deglman is a totally dif- ferent atmosphere compared to Swanson. It ' s more family oriented, Ronan said. The girls on the floor were very helpful. It was a good change for them to have a new R.A. and it was a good change for me too. Although the job is hard at times, it is very rewarding, she said. 70 SWANSON The W. Clarke Swanson Residence Hall has been in existence for over 20 years. This dorm houses about 700 students in its 148,000 square feet, 10-story structure. Originally, Swanson Hall was an all-male dormitory. It turned coed in 1976. With its six female and ten male resident advisers, dorm nurses and chaplains plus all the activity around the mail room, offices and other facilities (TV room, laundry room, etc.), Swanson Hall is ap- propriately nick-named the ZOO. It is the ZOO because it is so busy, so wild, and so loud. This is where all of the action is. How many times have you passed by Swanson Hall and heard radios blaring from the third, and maybe even the eighth or ninth, floor? Remember those 2 a.m. fire drills? And who on the southeast side of Swanson didn ' t want to break the handicap ramp, so that the late par- tiers couldn ' t stamp on it to tell you they were coming home at 4 a.m. (Or did you stamp on it at 5 a.m. ? ) Who could forget the elevators- the ones that took so long that the stairs would have been faster? But then who wanted to use the stairs when your friends were on the elevator? Swanson is not just a dorm, it ' s an adventure. If you can live through a year or two years in Swan- son, you can live through anything, a second-year Swanson resident said. Swanson Hall is a busy center of activity, always hectic and constant- ly moving. The noise is continuous, people always fill the lobby, and there ' s always someone around you know to talk to. 72 iv- i: Top: Beth Konesky (middle) finds that her birthday is special to friends Laura Hill and June Kagejawa.

The residents of Kiewit Hall ex- perienced a cool welcome back to campus in the Fall of ' 85 due to the installation of a new air conditioning system put into the building. We got a lot of use out of it early in the year, Lynn Sanderson, head resi- dent adviser, said. I think it ' s a real plus for the dorm and will be attrac- tive to more students. The 500 residents of Kiewit consist of male and female undergraduates, sixteen resident advisers and one graduate assistant supervisor. One of the main highlights for the Kiewit residents was a dinner dance organized by a group of fifth floor women. The event called ' Twist and Shout ' was held at the Ranch Bowl. It was probably one of the most memorable events for Kiewit, Sanderson said. Many people were involved with it and it turned out real well. The residence hall also celebrated a birthday in November. The party which took place in the Kiewit lobby commemorated the dorm ' s 20th year at Creighton. Several Creighton alumni, faculty and ad- ministrators were on hand, along with a speaker from the Kiewit Foundation, who spoke of the late Peter Kiewit and his contributions to Omaha as well as Creighton. The West Quad Council also spon- sored other events including a barbecue and various ice cream socials. Kiewit has a real community at- mosphere, Sanderson said. It ' s more of a home for the students in- stead of a place to play-that doesn ' t mean we don ' t have our active times, but it really is quieter and more home like. 75 GALLAGHER By Danielle Le Gault Gallagher--the forgotten dorm. Way down, on the west side of cam- pus, there Hes the smallest dorm of Creighton. Once known as the zoo, it housed close to 200 of the rowdiest freshmen on campus. But it has changed a lot in the past three years; in its reputation, its at- titude, and even in its residents. I like Gallagher, Arts sophomore Cathy Tibbies said. You are close to your neighbors here and you get to know more people. The smaller community at- mosphere really lets you meet peo- ple, Arts freshman Jacquie Robin- son said. Nursing senior Patty Strickland lived on Gallaher 4 her freshman year and is now a resident advisor on the same floor. It ' s really changed, Strickland said. Gallagher is a lot less destructive. I think it is because they let sophomores and transfer students live here too. Even so, the dorm is presently about 90 percent freshmen. Arts freshman Shannon Goldsberry lives in Gallagher and said she loves it. It is like a second family, she said. The people here are a great support system. After all, we ' re all in the same boat! Arts sophomore Pam Johnson agrees, but she thinks that the group spirit is what makes Gallagher tick. Without it, we ' d be lost, she said. Strickland also felt this was true. My floor won the ' Glory Days ' com- petition during Resident ' s Hall Week, she said. The people you live with during your stay here real- ly give it a community spirit. If I could do it over, I wouldn ' t change a thing, concluded Goldsberry. Apparently, this is what makes Gallagher great. Middle left: Returning from Thanksgiv- ing break is third floor R.A.

Built in 1955 in honor of the Rev. Francis G. Deglman, Deglman Hall was originally an all-male dor- mitory until the 1970s. This year Deglman Residence celebrate the building ' s 30th birthday. As an all- women ' s dormitory, and one that is so much smaller than Kiewit and Swanson, the women have a chance to make many friends in their sorority-like setting. What Deglman resident doesn ' t remember the early wake-up breakfast at the beginning of the year, the floor functions and parties, decorating the floors? And who didn ' t try sneaking guys out of the south exit after hours? Remember the popcorn parties and the late- night girl talks in the bathrooms that started out with two or three women and ended with 15 or more friends? Deglman is a fun dorm to live in, said freshman Mary Kay Simp- son. No other dorm is quite like it. Deglman Hall is the only dorm on Creighton ' s campus that is not coed. This give Deglman a unique stand- point at Creighton. The women have the opportunity to meet and get to know other women, and make lasting friends while living together in a small community of freshmen who can help each other through the fun and flops of being a student at Creighton University. Top left, clockwise: Kristi Logan and Cindy Young have developed a great friendship while living in Deglman. Terri Vard helps Missy Marasco with some homework.

It has all the benefits of living on-campus, but in your own apartment. Palms is occupied by 260 juniors and seniors. We like to keep all our residents either juniors or seniors ; it makes it easier to plan events, Deb Roley, complex coordinator, said. I think the students really need that extra year to mature, before they are turned loose to live on their own. Palms ' residents can enjoy having their own apartments, but still par- take in dorm-like activities. The residents have various movie nights, T.G.I.F. ' s, Sunday Masses and Mon- day night football parties. Palms ' residents are a little calmer than the other dorm residents, Roley said. We stress the fact that they must take more responsibility and that they are held more accountable for their actions. Palms is designed more for study- ing. It is quieter and the halls are less busy. The residents don ' t prop their doors open which helps cut down on noise and people just wandering the halls, Roley said. It may be harder to meet people, but it ' s more conducive for studying and provides more privacy for each resident. Palms is a unique on-campus liv- ing experience. It may be the first opportunity for many to get to know what apartment life is like. It ' s really a chance to get away from liv- ing on campus and getting burned- out with school, Roley said. That walk down the hill is just what some students need, it ' s more like walking home than just walking across cam- pus to a dorm room. PALMS ? 1 80 TOWERS Dorm life. What does it mean to most? Music blasting over speakers, midnight pizza parties, or sneaking pony kegs up eight flights of stairs on a Friday night? Well, maybe for some, but not for all Creighton students, like the residents of the Towers Residence Hall. Most of the residents are law students who, along with the other residents, are mainw interested in a quiet atmosphere, Deb Roley, com- plex coordinator, said. The Towers has a more laid- back, studious kind of atmosphere. The only time that the residents really get rowdy is after a medical or law final. Of the 105 residents some are mar- ried undergraduates, but most are professional students in the medical or law school. Towers is especially suited for the law students because it is so close to the law school ' , Roley said. Even though Towers in not available to most underclassmen, it has been home for some younger residents. Currently, none of the residents have small children, Roley said. However, in the past there have been a handful of babies living there. Right now there is a 12-year-old resident. Most residents have httle free time outside of their studies. Most open areas in the building are used for studying instead of socializing, unlike other campus dwellings. However, on occasion the residents will get together and watch movies on the VCR in the penthouse, Roley said. The Towers residents have also organized T.G.I.F. ' s in the cafeteria. For the most part, these people aren ' t interested in the same ac- tivities that other dorm residents are interesred in. They mainly just want to be left alone to study, Roley said. CE C HOUSE By Sheri Kishaba Community living and sharing were the keys to the success of the Creighton Extension Curriculum program this year. The C.E.C., located in a brick house on 23rd and California Streets, was established in the spring of 1973 to provide an alternative to dor- mitory life. It stressed a community- type atmosphere that enabled residents to form deep friendships through living and working together. ' It ' s outside of your typical classroom or dormitory. It ' s something different and unique, ' Jane McGrath, acting director, said. To promote unity, the 11 residents dined together on Tuesday and Thursday nights. They also worked in groups as kitchen crews prepar- ing dinners and cleaning up after- ward. Meals came from the Creighton food service. McGrath said the meals were different from what was served on campus. Each semester the C.E.C. pro- gram conducted a three-credit hour course one night a week designed especially for C.E.C. residents. The fall semester course was on Stress, taught by Dr. Louis Gard- ner and Dr. Richard Millard, both of the psychology department. The spring semester course was on Environmental Ethics, taught by Dr. Daniel Dombrowski of the philosophy department. The Rev. Tony Weber, S.J., who was new to the house this year, said, The students seemed quite in- terested in the topic because it was practical to the students ' interests. It related to their personal lives. The courses were chosen by a committee from proposals written by faculty members. The committee chose topics based on its level of in- terest to students and its com- patibility to the General Education Component of the College of Arts and Sciences. Most courses, McGrath said, filled one of the GEC Division I course requirements. A main feature of the C.E.C. house was its uniqueness as opposed to dormitory life. It ' s more like a community, where we work together and eat together, junior Jeff Schmieder said. It ' s changed me in that I ' ve been much more open to people. It ' s a casual atmosphere, Although removed from the cam- pus, the residents were still close enough to enjoy the main campus and also enjoy living in a more relaxed, community environment, McGrath said. Additions to the house this year in- cluded a new dishwasher, rose bushes and a garden in the back, which was tended partly by residents and other students. The house, which can hold up to 17 students, was divided into apart- ments, housing three to four students each. To become a part of the program, students applied a semester earlier and were interviewed. According to McGrath, a commitment to com- munity living and a willingness to participate with others were the main criteria. OFF CAMPUS by Beth Harig Students residing off-campus found living to be very different from dorm life. Sue Mathey, assistant to the dean of Students Housing, said that as enrollment at Creighton has grown through the years, the stipulations for those allowed to lived off -campus have loosened. This happened because the dorms became unable to house everyone. In 1985-86 juniors and seniors were permitted to live off-campus, and freshmen and sophomores were able to do so with special permission. Excluding the professional schools, about 1,900 students lived off-campus, 50 percent of the undergraduate enrollment. Senior Julie Kiokemeister lived in the Park Plaza Apartments on North 31st Avenue. I figured I ' d get more done living off-campus, she said. Kiokemeister said for her the advan- tages of not living in the dorms were learning about responsibility, budgeting money and growing up. She also liked the idea of having no R.A. telling her what to do. It was more affordable than I thought it would be, junior Matt Norris, a resident of Kellom Knolls Apartments, said. Norris cited some of the advantages of living off- campus as less noise, no fire drills and being able to cook your own food. Norris said the main disadvan- tage of living off -campus was losing touch with campus activities. I miss the floor unity and the con- venience of having all your friends close by, Norris said. Junior Kelley Lanphier lived in the dorms for two years and then decided to try living at home. I got tired of the dorms. I wanted to be more independent and not be re- quired to have a specific time to eat or to be kept up by noise, Lanphier said. She said she misses seeing friends, but she has her own room and it is nice and quiet. Senior Cece Holmes also decided it was time for her to move out of the dorms.

I miss being able to walk down the hall and see everyone, Holmes said. But an advantage for her was living close to campus and being able to go home durmg the day for lunch.

TOWNIES B Maureen McGinley Townies, as they are generally referred to, are those Creighton students who do not live on campus. Other townie characteristics in- clude the facts that they most likely lived in Omaha before attending Creighton; most are employed full or part-time off campus; and generally their time at Creighton is primarily in attending classes. Based on living quarters, there are 3,116 full-time students in the disciplines of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Nursing and Allied Health. Of these, 1,721 reside on campus in the dorms, while 441 live with their parents and 815 own their home or live in apart- ments off campus. Because of work and other ac- tivities, it is hard to hear about dorm parties and other social functions. The town students are somewhat left out, Paul Houston, Business junior said. There is an organization for those students who live off-campus and would like to be more involved in Creighton activities. It is called the Town Student Organization. The primary function of this group is to break the town routine and get these students involved in Creighton group functions. This is accomplished through monthly meetings and social activities. Chris Shackelford is the current president of the Town Student Organization. A large part of the college ex- perience is to be found outside the classroom. This is especially true at a school like Creighton where there is such a community spirit among the students, faculty and staff. The Town Student Organization is an at- tempt to exten d this experience to those students not living on campus, but who should be involved in the spirit of Creighton life, 88 -J 9 1 oNl Hl ' VTv. 1 1 tJB CAMPION n B Matthew Gamber, S.J. The Campion House is the Jesuit Humanities Program of Creighton, located at 518 N. 19th St. It was nam- ed in honor of Edmund Campion, the 17th-century Enghsh Jesuit martyr, and was estabhshed in 1979 to pro- vide young Jesuits with a chance for vigorous immersion into the humanities. As future priests, it is imperative that we be deeply aware and sen- sitive to the human situation in the world around us, said John Ot- tersberg, S.J., a former Creighton undergraduate student and current resident at Campion House. Our humanities studies will hopefully prepare us to be better Jesuits and servants of the people of God by enlarging our understanding of the human condition, Ottersberg said. There were 14 young Jesuits, com- monly called scholastics, who resid- ed at the Campion House in 1985-86. The four Jesuit priests who staffed the Campion House were: the Rev. Ed Mathie, S.J., the Rev. Tom Shanahan, S.J., the Rev. John Campbell, S.J., and the Rev. Gerry Stockhousen, S.J. Each scholastic was assigned a mentor from among the Jesuit facul- ty. They met weekly to critique the scholastics ' written and oral expres- sion and to talk about ideas, con- cerns and issues of an academic nature. The program, however, is not meant to be solely an intellectual endeavor. Integration of four essen- tial elements of Jesuit life-spiritual, communal, apostolic and inte llectual-is the hope of the pro- gram. Daily life centers on the celebra- tion of the Eucharist in the com- munity chapel, followed by dinner and shared prayer. Each scholastic found time during the day for private prayer and meditation. It is amazing to see guys from such different backgrounds and from all different parts of the coun- try come together and form a close community, Ottersberg said.

It houses 14 undergraduate men and four advisors, and is a community established to help those residents make important decisions about the religious life. It is a house-of -study program for Oblate life formed by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, accor- ding to Arts junior and resident Jim Flemming. It is the earliest stage of forma- tion, Flemming said. The Oblate program fosters discernment and helps us to make decisions prior to taking any vows. The Director, Pat Magee, OMI, works along with three others to staff the house. Fr. Joe Pitts, OMI; Fr. Tom Ruhman, OMI; and Brother Bill Johnson; OMI, make up the staff. The Oblates provide a good sup- port and a good community, Flem- ming said. The staff is really great to work with; they provide a lot of help. The atmosphere gives all of us a chance to grow. We try to foster a community en- vironment here, said Pat Magee, Director. In terms of the Creighton community, we benefit from the liberal arts program, especially Philosophy. The use of critical reflection, which is prevalent among philosophers, is useful in the ministry. Our purpose is to help these young men learn more about com- munity and clarify whether or not they want to go on in the ministry. John Luby, who has been at the Oblate House since 1972, sees the purpose of the house as discerning what religious life is about, while at the same time getting an education.

Sr. Muriel Cameron, R.S.C.J., in her second year as monitor of C.S.C., is very optimistic about the student members. We are expanding our projects and the new students who join bring a hope and confidence that out work will continue, she said. C.S.C. offered over 35 different projects that students could get in- volved with. The projects covered a wide variety of areas: the Wednes- day Afternoon Club, Sacred Heart Elementary School and the Shelter for Domestic Violence helped children; Spanish Tutoring helped migrant workers adapt to a new language; Burt Towers and Maplecrest Nursing Home project members visited with the elderly and spent recreational time with them, and the Madonna School assisted mentally retarded children in a swimming program. Christmas and Spring Break ser- vice trips were also under the direc- tion of C.S.C. This year ' s Spring Break trips took 108 students to 14 different locations in the United States: seven in the Appalachian Mountains; two on Indian Reserva- tions; four in the rural South and metropolitan areas and one in rural Colorado. Arts senior Katie Pavlik, who helped coordinate the trips said, The people who go on the service trips learn a completely different culture from what they are used to. They also learn of the universal need for love and charity. Their attitudes change, Pavlik said. They come back remember- ing what they learned and integrate it into thei r lives. A lot of students on service trips worked with immigrants from Cen- tral America. Their tasks varied from manual labor to helping in the educational system. Community Service has a two- fold purpose, Arts junior Doug Klein said. The first is a service to students to form a community of people that become close as they work together. The second is to help out in the Omaha community. Sr. Muriel said her main goal for C.S.C. is to continue to make it known to students who have the desire to serve and don ' t know where to go. We want to increase the oppor- tunities for students to do theological reflection on life ' s experiences, she said.

Career Planning and Placement Center H Polly L nam About 500 students and alumni each year use Creighton ' s Career Planning and Placement Center to help them in the transition from school to the working world. Director John K. Kirkwood said the center accomplishes two things. It provides information and resources for job and career oppor- tunities, and it also acts as a training facility. The center has resource materials that offer career informa- tion, updated job listings, audio and video tapes, and books. In addition, they publicize on-campus recruiting schedules. He said when students come to the center, they usually have two unanswered questions: Where do I look for a job? and How do I go about it? Kirkwood said the important step then is to educate the student about the process of career decision mak- ing. This is an era of change, being a mobile society, he said. I think too much weight is given on the student making the ' right decision. ' They need to be flexible. The job market was in critical times because demand for new employees was less than the supply of new prospects. Therefore, a job- hunter must be able to scramble for jobs and be competitive. The center helps people by prepar- ing them for this reality. Time is spent helping prepare resumes, ar- ranging interviews and helping research different companies they are interested in. Much time is also spent just talk- ing. Kirkwood had 1,013 personal contacts last year. This translates to 1,013 personal office visits. Most of my time is spent on one- to-one counseling, Kirkwood said. Although this takes a big portion of his time, the center also tried to keep up by contacting companies to inter- view on campus. Sixty-two employers interviewed in 1984, and by the fall of 1985, 59 employers were scheduled. 98 lop left, clockwise: Jack Kirkwood with Sally Swietlick, secretary for the Business Administration Council and sponsoring representative for Job Fair.

By Kitty Smith Public Safety is more than just the guys that gave out parking tickets. The parking tickets are only a small part of all of the work that we do here at Creighton, said Richard Wadleigh, associate director. With ten full ' time officers, three supervisors, three dispatchers, and the help of student-aids. Public Safe- ty carries out a variety of programs, duties and responsibilities. They included putting on crime prevention programs for on and off campus students, putting on the Buddy System programs, patrolling the Creighton area twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, all year around. They help coordinate the safety of events and parties on Creighton ' s campus (like traffic control at the triathlon), and they play some part in events that best serve the Creighton community (their participation in the SAMS campaign is an example of this). We are part of the education here at Creighton, not in the sense of academics, but in the sense that the information we give to you, on crime prevention and other things, is infor- mation that you can use at once, Wadleigh said. Our main goal is to help serve the Creighton communi- ty, and part of this is getting everyone to help Public Safety by helping themselve too. We want people to have con- fidence in our program, we try to make it a personal department so that people will keep coming to us and helping us do our job. Our pro- gram is taylored to the needs of the Creighton community, Wadleigh said. Although Public Safety personnel are not policemen, they work closely with the Omaha Police Department. Similar to the path of the shut- tle ' bus, they patrol approximately from 20th to 30th street and Dodge to Cumings Street, which is about 85 acres to patrol. They don ' t take the place of the OPD, but they make the jobs of the policemen much easier. Creighton students could call Public Safety if they needed help (for example, if their car didn t start), if they saw something suspicious happenning, if they knew something wrong was happenning or if the didn ' t know who to call for in- formation. Public Safety ' s main objective has been to make students aware of the crime potential, and to help them to know and use the things that are necessary to avoid being victimized. 101 SAGA By Mary Coniglio Creighton ' s own food service, Saga, is involved around campus more than most people realize. Saga operates out of Upper and Lower Brandeis, Upper and Lower Becker, which includes the faculty dining room, the University College Eppley Station as well as catering on and off campus events. Jeff Swanson, a Saga manager, said Saga caters all on-campus events such as the Begley Breakfasts and they provide the snacks for the F.A.C. ' s. They also cater off-campus events, but school functions take precedence, Swanson said. Saga has many full-time employees as well as many students who are employed through work study or on-campus part-time employment. Saga has started several new pro- grams. Saga ' s Wild Pizza, fairly new to campus, was added last year to the menu and since then has grown in popularity and convenience. The Wild Pizza operates out of Lower Becker. Wild Pizza has been offering delivery on campus and off, within a certain radius of campus, since last January. Swanson said Saga also caters floor parties. Another feature new this year is the Outpost located in Lower Brandeis. The Outpost is designed to relieve some of the pressure for those waiting in line at the snack bar in Lower Brandeis, Swanson said. The Outpost sells pop and snacks such as popcorn. This will hopefully enable those wanting these items to be served faster. Saga operates during the summer, Swanson said, even though they are feeding two-thirds fewer people. During the summer sessions Saga ' s Lower Brandeis provides faculty and student lunches as well as catering for summer con- ferences.

Reinert Alumni Library, the third largest academic library in Nebraska, of- fered many services to students and faculty. Mary Nash, head of resources for the library said, For the resources we have, I think we do a terrific job. Because we are smaller, we can be more people-oriented. Many students, however, are unaware of the services offered. Nash said inter-library loans and computer searches are two such ser- vices. Nash said with the computer, a bibliography of a particlar subject could be obtained by filling out a search request form. The computer then searches its memory bank for related topics. It can search for two or three ideas at once, saving time. Since the com- puter search is not limited to the resources found in this library, it can compile a comprehensive bibliography. The cost is determined by the com- plexity of the search and the number of sources obtained. Nash said the library made no profit from such searches. If a particular book wasn ' t offered at this library, Nash said it could be obtained through an inter-library loan. This is a cooperative service which allows libraries to asist one another in meeting material demands. In addition to the services offered through the reference desk, many services for students took place behind the scenes. According to Lauralee Grabe, head of Technical Services, the library adds about 10,000 titles each year. More than 285,000 titles have been acquired. Technical Services, according to Grabe, is responsible for selecting, acquiring, and cataloging all library materials. This department gets in- put from faculty before choosing new titles. Grabe said the library tries to sup- port the curriculum and research ef- forts of the university by giving each department a certain budget for pur- chase of new materials each year. Grabe said students are allowed to make title requests through order forms, though most students aren ' t aware of this opportunity. If students do feel a need, they should come in and let us know, Grabe said. The library uses its own discretion in acquiring non-academic material and does its best to provide a well- rounded selection of material, Grabe said. Raymond Means, director of the library, said there seems to be a growing demand for computer soft- ware and videotape material by faculty and students. This type of material is purchased every year. To meet other demands. Means said that 109 study spaces were add- ed to the hbrary over the Christmas holiday. The library has also been remodeled to insure energy conser- vation and future growth. The libray was planned to ac- commodate new books and materials up to the year 2000, Means said. By that time books may be stored in some other way because of technology. The library has a maximum capacity of 929 people. During peak usage, library hours on Friday and Saturday may be expanded to mid- night. Peak usage occurs during midterm and finals ' weeks. Clockwise from top left: In between classes, students pass through the com- mons area. Construction went on all dur- ing the year at the Reinert Alumni Memorial Library.

There is a simple answer-University College. University College is a night school for part-time students. The college is ideal for adults who work full-time or who don ' t have the time to get away from home during the day. There is just one basic require- ment besides the normal admissions requirements-a basic desire to want to learn. A regular semester usually lasts 16 weeks, which includes 14 weeks for instruction. This equals a week of free days and a week for final ex- aminations. The courses generally begin at 6 p.m. and end around 9 p.m., with a break scheduled in bet- ween. University College is also an economical way to get an education. Students pay a tuition rate of $108 per credit hour for up to six credit hours. This is a two-thirds discount off the regular 1985-86 rate charged by Creighton Univeristy. The University College offers 11 majors for its night students. The majors range from accounting to statistics. It also offers degrees in the Schools of Arts Science and Business Administration. Beginning in the fall, the Universi- ty College started offering five new programs. There was Associate of Science degrees in three areas: computer science, mathematics and statistics. There was also a new statistics major offered by the Department of Mathematics Com- puter Science. Another major which was new to the University College was history. There was also a Cer- tificate of History and a Certificate of Minisry available to night students. University College is a major part of Creighton and will likely continue to be a very important part of its future. 108 3 . ' ■ • ■ ' mmmmm 109 Mary Lucretia Recipient By Beth Harig In 1986, the Mary Lucretia Creighton award, which honors peo- ple who have encouraged the ad- vancement of women, was given to Arlene Rhodes, director of minority affairs for the health sciences. Rhodes double-majored in psychology and sociology at the University of Dubuque and then went on to receive a master ' s in social work from the University of Illinois. In 1972 Rhodes began working at Creighton as special assistant to the vice president of student personnel and sociology lecturer. Rhodes mov- ed into the office of minority affairs in 1975 and was director by 1978. Going outside the limits of her job. Rhodes served on many committees and organizations. She was on the VVCA board of directors, where she monitored the staff and programs. As a member of Leadership in Omaha, she par- ticipated in workshops to enhance leadership in the community. Rhodes was also active on the Superintendent ' s Advisory Commit- tee on Gifted Education for the Omaha Public Schools. That ' s the project at the elemen- tary and secondary level for students who are gifted in areas such as academics, music and the fine arts, Rhodes said. Rhodes ' outstanding service did not go unnoticed. She received many honors. The Outstanding Women in America Award in 1980 was among them. Other include the Outstanding Citizenship Award by the Black Caucus of Omaha Education in 1983 and a Volunteer Service to Omaha ' s School-children Certificate by the the Omaha Public Schools superintendent in 1984. Arlene Rhodes Rhodes ' latest honor, the Mar Lucretia Creighton Award, was given by the university ' s Committee on the Status of Women The award was named for the woman who in 1878 used SIOO.OOO from the estate of her husband. Ed- ward Creighton. to start the school that would bear his name.. The award is usually given to a woman considered outstanding in the service they have done for the advancement of women ' s status at Creighton. said Diane Kirkle. chairwoman of the committee. The office of minority affairs is responsible for recruitment and retention of students to the school of health sciences. Rhodes said. Rhodes said she would like to reach a goal of significant minority student representation in the health sciences. She said her ultimate goal is that this could occur one day without the aid of a special office. Rhodes said part of the university ' s mission is to relieve the health care shortage around the country. One of the advantages of en- couraging minorities to enter the health sciences is that often the students will work in areas where there is no or limited health care. she said. Students need to view this office as a much needed thing. We ' re meeting the health care needs of a country. My goal for the program is to work myself out of a job. she said. Rhodes said that two years ago the program lost a major source of fun- ding when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared recruitment of students as non-fundable. That was a drastic blow. she said. However, by utilizing students to conduct recruitment programs. Rhodes was able to fight back. 110 Foreign Student Advisement Unlike the many times university services and positions are passed from one person to another, the of- fice of Foreign Student Advisement is unique. Services to foreign students had been shifted through various hands since Creighton first opened its doors. But in 1979, things changed. Through the effort of the vice presi- dent of academic affairs, the Rev. John P. Daly, S.J., and others, Creighton ' s foreign students had a service to call their own. John Her- mann has been their adviser ever since. Because Hermann didn ' t have a role model, he said his adventure began as sort of a shot in the dark- but his job remains the same to educate people on different values, cultures, language and religions. Hermann coordinates about 200 students who study abroad. Creighton is affiliated with three overseas universities: Richmond College in London, Loyola Rome Center in Rome and Sogang Univer- sity in Seoul, South Korea. A larger effort however, comes on the part of Hermann to coordinate the foreign students who come to Creighton. Creighton has an agreement with the Institute of Educational Development in Japan to recruit Japanese students. Currently about 120-125 Japanese students attend Creighton, well over half of the foreign student population. The se- cond largest number comes from Saudi Arabia. I would like to more actively recruit Spanish-speaking students to the university to add a more diver- sified sharing of educational resources, Hermann said. But because no financial aid is available to foreign students, and many Spanish-speaking countries are poor, students can ' t afford to come. The only way this could be possi- ble is if it was reviewed and decided by higher levels to find support and actively recruit a number of these students, Hermann continued. I feel it would add to the university ' s total growth. Another goal of Hermann ' s was to better meet the needs of the foreign students already at Creighton. We need to orientate them to the com- munity and Creighton, but we must reaUze in doing so that we can ' t treat them just like any other student. Their needs are beyond those of the native student, he said. Hermann hopes to involve the In- ternational Student Association more in foreign student orientation. Our traditional Freshman Welcome Week is a big success, but it is usually by accident that our foreign students fix into this matrix, Hermann said. We need a more concentrated effort to deal solely with foreign students. We need someone there to help the foreign student deal with things he doesn ' t understand or can ' t understand or can ' t have a priority of. For example, a foreign student may arrive without bedding. It is not because he didn ' t have it, he pro- bably didn ' t have room to bring it. When he arrives here, he needs assistance on where to get things, wha t else he will need, etc. Her- mann said. The little things may seem in- significant, but they add up, reminds Hermann. I would like to use other students who have had these prior experiences to orientate the new foreign students. Who better to turn to for help than someone who already been through the situation.? I would also like to develop a pro- gram for the faculty to orientate them in the educational background of different countries. We need to tell our foreign students the rules of American education such as it is OK to ask questions, and we need to educate our teachers that many John Hermann foreign students have been taught not to question authority, Hermann added. Many foreign students also face the need for what can be considered remedial skills in writing and English. There is a problem for many of these students having English as a second or other language. They meet the minimum qualifications to get into the univer- sity, but often it is by accident that their skills develop in these areas. Many times we are more concerned with their ideas than their gram- mar. Because of the new Arts and Science college policy toward ad- vancement in English skills, the need is more effectively being met. Hermann said he also hopes to bet- ter address the problems with foreign student housing, food and other general living comforts. By realizing that our foreign students are different, we are not lessening the quality of Creighton ' s education, we are simply looking at ways to ease the understanding and develop more international students, both our students from abroad and American students as well. Gone With The Wind I By Cathy Nabity Three Creighton historians packaged the Civil War era in a more attractive form this year. That doesn ' t mean they rewrote American History. They simply presented it to a class of about 50 students in a unique, interesting manner. Drs. Warren Kneer, Bryan LeBeau and Ashton Welch of the history department combined their expertise to offer (Jone With the Wind: Three Historians ' Perspec- tives, a three credit-hour, upper- division history course, during the spring semester. 1986 was the 50th anniversary of the publication of Margaret Mit- chelfs novel, Gone With the Wind, which has sold over 25 million copies and been translated into 27 languages. The film based on the same story became a block-buster and immortalized stars Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. It has been seen by over 200 million people. The novel and the film, along with a traditional textbook and handouts, are among the materials used for the course. But this is not a course on the book, per se; it ' s a course on the era, Dr. Welch, associate professor of history, said. Gone With the Wind created an image of the South during the Civil War period. It abounds with popular stereotypes: Tara as the southern Plantation, Scarlett as the southern elle and Mammy as the plantation household servant. We evaluate Margaret Mitchell ' s view and give some pointers to the class, Welch said. In many instances she ' s historically correct, but there are also instances where literary license was taken or things were omitted, he said. We point out contradic- tions and provide connectors to some of the knowledge gaps. For ex- ample, the slaves may be talking about the war, but there ' s nothing to lead you to find out how they knew what was happening in the war. Dr. LeBeau, assistant professor of history, said he likes to see students apply the academic approach to history to what he said he thinks are some of the most important in- fluences in their lives-films and LeBeau estimated that half the students in the HIS 395 Special Pro- jects course are not history majors. I think this is a significant percentage for an upper-division history course, he said. It ' s attractive to non-(history) majors. We ' re teaching important aspects of American history by packaging them in a more attractive form, using a popular film and a popular novel. The course was offered at night, so although the majority of students were full-time day students, many from the University College also participated. Even some medical and dental students audited the course. Welch said an overwhelming response to the course at registra- tion forced the department to limit the class to 52 because of classroom novels. We try to explain what Margaret Mitchell may have been trying to achieve if she made some things historically inconsistent, he said. We want them to appreciate what ' s done well from the historical stand- point and to be critical of what ' s not in a positive manner. This is important because many of these students will not become historians, and they will come in contact with history probably in one of these two forms (novels or films), he said. size restraints. Dr. Kneer, professor of history, said, The course really is designed for general interests. It ' s unique in the way we ' re ap- proaching it from three different perspectives and utilizing the exper- tise (of each instructor) in par- ticular areas. Kneer said the film was shown in segments to coordinate it with the lecture material. Welch said the in- structors watched the film together three times to decide where to break the scenes and what material to em- phasize. The course was broken down into three parts. In part one, LeBeau painted a social and intellectual por- trait of the United States before the Civil War and Welch described slavery in the antebellum South. The political developments and the brutality of the war, as well as the question of emancipation, were covered by Kneer in part two. The final part discussed the aftermath of the war, with LeBeau concentrating on the policy of Reconstruction, and Welch focusing on the freed man. All three instructors agreed their packaging of the Civil War era went over very well. They said fac- tors such as student evaluations will determine whether similar courses will be offered in the future. 112 Top right, clockwise : Dr. Warren Kneer makes a poirxt in class.

This room is the Creighton Fine Arts Gallery. Dr. Roger Aikin, associate pro- fessor of art history, is the faculty coordinator of the gallery. Aikin received his Ph.D. from the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley. Aikin has been with Creighton six years as a member of the visual arts faculty. According to the gallery ' s State- ment of Purposes and Goals, the shows presented throughout the year are intended to expose our students, faculty and friends to first- rate contemporary work in various ways througn shows curated by our visual arts faculty. The gallery also provides exhibi- tion space for those students pursu- ing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. They are required to present their work in a thesis show at the end of their senior year. Student thesis shows are only a part of the regularly scheduled events in the gallery each year. An all-campus juried student art show is also held each year, Aikin said, Any student may enter work which is then judged by a member of the local art community. The gallery serves as an outlet for faculty ' s research and creative interests as well as service to the community, Aikin said. Visual Arts Faculty have a chance to show their most recent work in the annual faculty show, Aikin said. Faculty members also have a chance to show their work in one- person retrospective shows. This is done on a rotation basis. The gallery is often host to touring shows and provides opportunities for local artists to exhibit their work. The shows are decided on at the beginning of each school year by a committee of visual arts faculty. Aikin said the gallery ' s most im- Kortant function is as a learning tool, lany students are exposed to the operational aspects of a gallery through work-study programs and classes.

Hartigan is a PED major who said anyone who thinks otherwise should take an exercise science class. Some of these courses were Anatomy and Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, Tests and Measurements in Physical Educa- tion and Adapted Physical Educa- tion. These classes were designed to provide in-depth study of different systems of the body and how they are affected by exercise. They also enabled the student to learn techni- ques of physical education and to develop programs for conditioning. The department also had teaching coaching courses covering administration of physical educa- tion, teaching it at different grades and coaching of all sports. Another area the department covered was health. These classes included First Aid; Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries; Athletic Training-Concepts, Theories, and Applications; Fitness for Living and Weight Training. Of the activity courses, tennis and racquetball were the most popular. Each had three to five sections every semester with about 12 students in each section. However, there were some activi- ty classes that were a little unusual, like scuba diving, horseback riding and fencing. Scuba gave me a chance to try something I always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity, Arts senior Scott Moretti said. It ' s also something unusual, and it gives me a chance to explore different sur- roundings on vacations. Physical education had something to offer everybody. People were realizing the importance of keeping fit. That was the goal of the Creighton Association for Physical Education. It is a club for anyone in the col- lege community with an interest in health, physical education, recrea- tion and dance. We inform people about career opportunities and alert people to physical education, Hartigan said. 116 117 SUPERBOWL : An Alien Look The Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, S.J., writer-in-residence at Creighton, takes a light-hearted look at Super Bowl Sunday. The followwg article was published in New Orleans magazine. When you assigned me to Planet Earth to research the continuing evolution of its tribal customs, I am sure I did not appear overly en- thusiastic. Quite frankly, I did not relish being assigned to a relatively insignificant planet. I must say, however, even at this preliminary stage of my research, that there are some fascinating, if baffling, things to be experienced on this planet. I always did enjoy mystery stories... The latest mystery I attempted to probe is a type of annual pilgrimage feast known as the Super Bowl. This is not one of Earth ' s more an- cient traditions, such as Hanukkah, World Series (I have no idea as yet what that is) or Christmas. But even with its relatively short existence, it is perhaps already the major Earth festival, with its preparations exten- ding over many months. I am not certain of the depth of its religious nature, but it is billed as Super Bowl Sunday, and it is religiously observed, more so, in fact, than any of the other religious holidays. The central ritual of Super Bowl Sunday is what these Earth creatures term a football game (both of which terms still seem to me misnomers), or as many here refer to it, The Football Game. As per your instructions, I generally operate with the tem- porary body you put at my disposal in order to conduct my research more directly and with less risk of panicking the natives. I have also followed your direction to assume an English personality so that these people will not become suspicious at my ignorance of things American. These stratagems have enabled me to become personally ac- quainted, sometimes even friendly, with a number of these Earthlings. Therefore, when I realized that I must research this Super Bowl (since I had not yet witnessed any football game ), finding the proper interpreters was simple. Tom and Michelle, a nicely matched set of young marrieds, are what even their best friends here refer to as Foot- ball Fanatics. Figuratively speak- ing, they burn incense at a football shrine deep in interior America, one known as the Big Red, or The Cornhuskers (neither of which titles I can explain). Tom and Michelle were, in fact, married on the day of one of the Big Red produc- tions, but during the intermission, lest they miss any of the spectacle. As Tom guided his vehicle along the Pontchartrain Expressway, I noted that the pilgrims seemed cheerier (many of them even courteous) than most of the motor car operators I had previously observed on such roads. When we drew up and parked in a space near the arena, or what is known as the Superdome, the Home of the Saints, I could see immediately 118 that this was indeed, a festive occa- sion, lorn and Michelle said something about tailgate parties, another term whose meaning totall eludes me--at least I s incerel hope so. This, 1 remarked, scanning the crowds of joyous pilgrims, is trul magnificent. No wonder the come from long distances to participate in this great event. The event, Tom informed me, with, I thought, exaggerated pa- tience, is inside... Once within the arena, I could see immediately that he had been correct-there was an even more evi- dent festive atmosphere here than there had been outside among the tailgaters. The entertainment was spirited and enthusiastic. (My com- panions had brought along a por- table television machine, but it was worse than useless, since it ignored all the lovely pageantry on the field to focus instead on three or four very wordy types-one female, the others male-endlessly chattering to one another and apparently employed for the purpose of sharing a number of private jokes, none of which I understood.) Several truly marvelous mobile orchestras entertained, filling almost the entire area below. I also enjoyed the clowns, many of whom were disguised as large, undoubted- ly extinct birds. One clown was dressed as a large water animal. possibly a dolphin, and I guessed that another pair of humans may have been concealed within a model jet airplane. A character dressed like what human types puzzlingly term a cowboy (from previous reasearch I had, I thought, determined that all cows were girls, though not necessarily vice versa) ran up and down screaming, while a bare- chested male galloped along the side road on a magnificent white steed. These latter types alarmed me at first, since, from their constant hysterical screaming at the crowd and or disputing, even colliding with one another, it seemed clear that they were escaped maniacs. Even when Michelle reassured me that they were only walk-on characters who wanted to be part of the show, I continued to feel that everyone, especially I, would be safer were they confined. I noted, too, several groups of very attractive females dancing, I suspect, as they waved big bushy flowers of some unfamiliar species, intermittently shouting something or other. I was certain, in fact, that these females would triumph in any so-called football game, since they could obviously kick incredibly high without losing their balance. I noted that many of the faithful were displaying signs and banners, and, when the television would point at them, they would hold up a single finger in what must have been some coded message, shouting a greeting to their mothers, I believe, a thoughtful gesture that I must sa touched me deeply under the cir- cumstances. I was enjoying the pageantry of the orchestra and clowns and such when, as the crowd roared deafen- ingly, two apparently, stampeding herds, one some sort of reddish species, the other white, thundered onto the field below. Whatever these creatures were, they were clearly recognized as dangerous, since each one had been heavily muzzled. They were accompanied b several zebra-like creatures who, later on, seemed employed as herd- smen and were obviously either fearless or foolhardy. (I was later to discover, however, that one of them had a gun.) What, I asked are those creatures? Those, Tom inform- ed me, only partly stifling a laugh, are the teams, the players. The game will start in a minute. Chief, you cannot imagine the violence that soon ensued on that field, nor could I comprehend anyone ' s referring to it as a game ! The way these monsters ( I was later to discover that they are human, although outsized) deliberately smashed into each other was unbelievable. It is, indeed, surprising that any creatures, even some as gargantuan as these, were 119 able to survive. Earth people, I have found, have very short attention spans, in- variably interrupting even the most intense drama with some intermis- sion. I was, I thought, beginning to break the code when all the persona vanished! I stood up, thinking this the end of the game, but my friends told me it was only half-time and that more would follow. I was happy to see that the orchestras and clowns and dancing females once more took over, especially since I felt they put on a more interesting show than the two teams. I was puzzled, however-and I ad- mit somewhat annoyed-to note that the television people were repeating their initial mistake, depriving their viewers of all this magnificent pageantry by featuring only the same incessant chatterers, who, for the most part, only repeated their previous words in a slightly d ifferent arrangement. The second half of the spectacle followed much the same pattern as the first. There were, I must point out, some moments of what I would have to term genuine, even incredible and certainly unique beauty when one of these wild humans would seem to fly through the air (a short flight, in- significant by our standards, but a remarkable achievement for them, given their innate limitations ) either to catch the misshapen ball they use. or to attack one of those they had been pitted against. Finally, the game was all over, the red (white, whatever) species, I was told, emerging victorious, and we pressed our way back through the crowd to Tom ' s vehicle, then home along the freeway. I experienced a curious sadness as I noted the camaraderie so apparent before and during the ceremonies had totally evanesced. I was happy, therefore, when some degree of this previous fellowship was recaptured, as Tom and Michelle and I sat around in one of the many town meeting houses common on Earth, a relaxing gathering place known as Maylie s. How, ' I asked, as I sipped, or rather quaffed, a beer (a very popular liquid here, one I am finding increasingly delicious), -how can you refer to this mayhem of football as a ' game ' ? Above all, if it is truly a game, how can those creatures who participate in it be so serious ? Games are supposed to be fun, are they not? You should see Australian foot- ball, Michelle laughed. Besides, if you got paid that much, you ' d be serious about it too. Paid? You mean that you Earth... that people get paid to play games here? Hey, a burly type (not unlike those players) called out from a nearby table, where you from, man Bogalusa ? I still do not know what was so humorous about that, but everyone within earshot laughed until Tom in- 120 formed them I was from England. The big man, who resembled a younger Pope John Paul, nodded, with an, Oh, that clearly indicated an understanding of my ignorance. Sure, he explained, pulling up a chair next to mine, sure these guys get paid... Each member of the winning team today received $70,000, one of his companions, an intellectual look- ing young gentleman with glasses, added as he too joined us. Plus their 90-thousand a year average salary, a middle-age person who looked Japanese pointed out as he also moved in. Some of ' em even half-a-mill... That seems an awesome amount of money, I observed, pulling my beer out of the big man ' s reach just in time. Yeh, a tall, dapper black man said as he sat down, but it ' s peanuts next to the basketball and baseball dudes ' take-200-thousand up, man! But that... I couldn ' t believe it! But that ' s more than you pay your President! Sure, the big man said, but we don ' t pay the President to entertain us. He sure don ' t either! he laugh- ed. You must realize, the intellec- tual type said, that from time im- memorial people have paid others, not just to perform for them, but to act as their proxies. Thus it was not surprising, some years ago, that the Chinese in Singapore, seeing the British playing tennis under the hot afternoon sun, were astounded, poin- ting out to these English exercise buffs that they could hire coolies quite reasonably to do this for them. But, of course, he added, being English, you are aware of this. Of course, I mumbled, thus answering both questions un- truthfully. Chief, I could comment on this event at much greater length, but. ..Well, for the moment, allow me to present only a few of my conclu- sions in summary form... t irst of all, much as it may seem that way at times, football is not a way of life for Americans, not even for lom and Michelle, nor for the participants, whose playing days (as you can easily perceive from my description of the game) are relatively few. But it is a part of their lives and, I am now convinced, a rather important part, a sublima- tion of sorts, perhaps. (Cultures other than American survive The Rev. Joseph McGloin, S.J. sometimes without it, but with dif- ficulty.) Football is a temporary escape for these American Earthlings, from the many grave problems that con- front them. It is, moreover, not an insane escape, like the escape some of them attempt with various poisons, such as drugs and liquor. Moreover, by way of a by-product, football helps, in a sense, to bring many of them together, at least tem- porarily. This, I would venture, is, at this point in human history, the greatest need on Earth a necessity for their material survival. Football events are good entertainment-especially, in my opinion, those pre-game and half- time shows. All creatures in the en- tire universe, and not just Earth creatures, must have some enter- tainment if they are to be mentally and spiritually balanced. The game is also a type of safety valve, a vicarious release for their suppressed sometime inclination to violence, or maybe for the vicarious living out of the good-guy bad -guy syndrome (as they would ex- press it). This provides what a fair- ly intelligent human type of the past, one Aristotle, referred to as a catharsis, a purification of sorts, and so it contributes to human balance. Which may be, Chief, why the shiest, most retiring person on Planet Earth can become abruptly transformed into the loudest, most violent sounding fan in the stands on Super Bowl Sunday. You must have noticed in the course of my memos to you, that, while I began this assignment with reluctance and, I am sorry to say, as certain degree of prejudice, I am ac- quiring a growing admiration, often, indeed, a rudimentary friendship, for many of these people. Even those gigantic players, when they would leave the field (sometimes, obviously, with a badly damaged component) and remove the muzzle and perhaps a portion of the space suit, could be clearly seen to be strangely (to us at least) handsome. As for the main event at the festival--those dancing female Earthlings-it would have been im- possible to overlook their attrac- tiveness, as awesome, in its own uni- que way, as that of those magnifi- cent giants. But perhaps. Chief, the warmest sentiments I have experienced toward human types in my entire research program thus far came from the short time (to date, that is) spent with the friendly characters in Maylie ' s Bar. i 121 Research on Campus By Elizabeth Dougherty Contrary to popular belief, pro- fessors do not stop studying when they begin teaching. Research is an important activity of almost all of Creighton ' s faculty members -- and not just in the area of science. The Office of Research Assistance keeps track of faculty research and assists faculty in obtaining research grants from government and private sources, Director Kathy Taggart said. Assistance includes keeping faculty aware of grant opportunities and helping them prepare grant pro- posals. During 1984-85, research money for training and project grants totalled $4.1 million, Taggart said. She projected a $2 million increase in 1985-86, mostly because of the for- mation of the Health Future Founda- tion. The foundation was created as part of the merger agreement bet- ween Saint Joseph Hospital and American Medical International Inc. In 1985, it awarded $2,079,286 to health science research and academic programs at the universi- ty. These funds had a positive impact in several ways, according to Dr. Richard O ' Brien, vice president for Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine. By providing a new source of sup- port for faculty research, the grants raised the morale of current faculty members and should attract new faculty members. Dr. O ' Brien said. Once established through founda- tion funds, programs should attract other funding sources, he said. With the addition of new programs, educational opportunities for st udents and faculty increase. The largest individual grant, $527,879, went toward the develop- ment of a Center for Diabetes Research and Treatment. Scheduled to open in January 1986, the center focuses on diabetes care, research and education, according to Dr. Robert Recker, the grant reci- pient. The grant provides $937,423 over four years, after which the center should be self-sustaining. Dr. Recker, professor of medicine, said he envisions the center becom- ing a nationally recognized center for diabetes care and research in 122 terms of the new information it pro- duces. Diabetes mellitus affects possibly 20 million people in the United States and perhaps 50,000 in the Omaha area creating a need for extensive treatment and education of diabetic patients. Dr. Recker said the center ' s first priority is patient care. This will in- clude experimental treatments and education intended to teach the pa- tients to be self-reliant and concien- tious in monitoring their condition. The recognition that blood sugar abnormalities are responsible for serious complications, such as blind- ness, that diabetes can cause is an important development in diabetes care. Dr. Recker said. The center will place a heavy em- phasis on research directed at preventing, treating and curing diabetes. Innovative treatments may be tried in the center before they are widely available and may actually be discovered there. Dr. Recker said. The center ' s educational compo- nent will be directed toward health science students (especially nurs- ing, medical and pharmacy students) with the emphasis on observation and participation. The impact on health care profes- sionals will be mainly in the center ' s presence rather than in formal education programs. Another crucial function of the center will be to attract new faculty to the univer- sity, Recker said. The center ' s success will be measured by the number of patients and students it serves, the amount of research published, the grants awarded to its investigators and its ability to be self-sustaining. While Dr. Recker will be responsi- ble for the center, a director who specializes in diabetes will run it. Dr. Recker ' s primary area of research is calcium. In 1984, he began a four-year study involving 200 young women on the effects of nutrition on bone mass. His goal is to determine whether it is possible to influence the skeleton ' s size through calcium intake. Dr. Recker is also involved in several long-term studies of osteoporosis, a widespread irrever- sible disease in which bone mass deteriorates. While the largest portion of grant money at Creighton is awarded in the health sciences, the humanities also receive research money. For example, the Kellogg Founda- tion awards fellowships for inter- disciplinary studies in the humanities. A Kellogg Fellowship includes a $30,000 grant for a three- year program of study outside of the recipient ' s primary field and addi- tional funds for continuing educa- tion. Each year, the foundation chooses 40 to 50 fellows. It looks for generalists, scholars interested in making a contribution to society through gaining a broad scope of knowledge and applying it to social issues. As of 1985, Dr. Suzanne Dieckman, associate professor of fine and per- forming arts, was Creighton ' s only Kellogg Fellow, a role which she describes as personally and humanly valuable. Dieckman said she decided to app- ly for the fellowship when she was directing Arthur Miller ' s The Crucible. This drama raises many social issues through an exploration of the Salem witch trials with a strongly implied parallel to McCar- thy ' s Red Scare hearings. In workin g with this drama, Dieckman said she recognized the repeating patterns of history and realized that this could happen again. This recognition and realization gave her an urgent desire to do some work and make a social contribution. Dieckman said the fellowship re- quired a learning plan but, unlike most grants, not a final project. Her project focused on theater- related techniques as educational tools outside of theater, especially psycho-drama. The fellowship gave Dieckaman Left: Dr. Robert Recker, grant reci- pient, is nationally known for his research at St. Joseph Hospital.

Ellen Smith Moland, research technologist; Dr. Christine Sanders, grant recipient and Dr. Johan Bakken, the program ' s first post-doctoral fellow, talk about their work in the lab. the opportunity to learn about com- puter programming and word pro- cessing, what she calls a real growth experience. She admits to originally having an artist ' s fear of technology, but then used it as simply another tool of trade. She participated in an intensive leadership training program and studied arts management. Throughout and following her grant period, Dieckman said she had extensive contact with the other members of her Kellogg class. The various contacts and studies have affected my art, my teaching and the materials I use in my classes, Dieckman said. They also increased my awareness of resources and the connections among different disciplines, Dieckman said she was the only person in her class from the arts field. She said she was intimidated, but learned that she did not have to be. The arts field does deal with social issues, and has useful ways of doing so, she said. It is a powerful educational medium. Dieckman ' s interest in using theater techniques in the social area initiated her involvement in a pro- ject with Dave Clark, director of Survival Strategies, and Dr. Nancy Perry, assistant professor of psychology. Funded by a $10,000 grant from the Metropolitan Life Foundation, the project ' s goal was to find out what the most effective method of alcohol awareness training is: socio-drama, lecture, discussion or videotape. The investigators predicted that socio-drama would be the most ef- fective. In fall 1984, student assistants gave presentations using the dif- ferent methods to repr esentative freshman seminar groups. Before the presentations and after two sessions, the students filled out 124 Research on Campus questionnaires, which measured their drinking attitudes, knowledge and behavior. The freshmen who participated seemed to be very open about the in- formation we had to give them, Clark said. The study helped create new ways of presenting alcohol awareness pro- grams in a non-judgmental way and increased the outreach of existing programs, according to Clark. More people know about the ser- vices Survival Strategies provides, and an increased number of people are using its programs, he said. Perry did the bulk of the data analysis and found that the method of presentation made no difference. Like Clark, Perry cited the emergence of drinking patterns as an important outcome of the study. The results of the representative sample indicate that 80.3 percent of that freshman class drank alcohol at least weekly, most frequently at par- ties. About one-fourth of the class drank heavily by national stan- dards. Students said that when they drink they find it easier to communicate (80 percent) and be affectionate (57 percent). This type of response sug- gests that students may be drinking for inappropriate reasons, Perry saiid. She said that the study shows that the campus needs a much more comprehensive approach to alcohol awareness. Intervention needs to be multi- faceted, include extensive educa- tion, administrative support, peer Eressure and emphasis on responsi- le drinking. Perry said. This study has implications for life decisions; whether or not it is publishable is secondary, Perry said. For, while it may seem like research is lengthy proposals and number-crunching in the computer, its bottom line is its impact on peo- ple ' s lives. Whether it ' s diabetes or calcium, theater or alcohol, discovering new things and applying them to our lives is what research is all about and it ' s happening at Creighton University. 125 y«- t - 126 tfn ' mr 127 MEN ' S BASKETBALL A New Coach, A New Start By Pat Porter When people recall the 1985-86 Creighton men ' s basketball saeson, they will remember hustling players and intense coaches, deadeye shooting and aggressive defense, heartbreaking defeats and ex- hilarating victories. They will remember it as the dawning of the Barone era. It began when Tony Barone, assis- tant coach at Bradley, was hired as Creighton ' s head coach on June 22, 1985. He inherited a team that over the past four months had: Disgracefully lost opportunities at bids in the NCAA and NIT post- season tournaments; lost three starters and a top reserve; had two more potential starters suspended from the team; and had seen their coach and athletic director resign in frustration. The Dive of ' 85 was still on everybody ' s mind. Sports Il- lustrated projected the Bluejays to finish last in the Missouri Valley Conference and listed them first among Six Teams To Pity . But there were bright spots. Senior Reggie Morris and junior Gary Swain, starters from the ' 84- ' 85 squad, were returning. So were backup guards Renard Edwards and Wyville Wood, both seniors, and junior Rich Goldberg (who later left the team for personal reasons). And the two potential starters on suspen- sion, seniors Kenny Evans and Keith Smith, were quickly reinstated. The center position also had two returnees, junior Dwight Johnson and sophomore Ed Johansen. However, a slow recruiting year produced just one freshman- Jamie Whetstone, a 6-5 forward from Indiana. And the pivot, which was already depleted with the early departure of Benoit Benjamin, was dealt another blow when Johnson left the team in October to concen- trate on his studies for medical school. This prompted Barone to backup Johansen with 6-7 sophomore Ted Stefaniak, who played sparingly his freshman year. The Bluejays would have to com- pensate for their lack of intimidation with hustle and smarts, and this was not lost on Barone. The new coach and his three assistants, Dick I- ick. Brad Dunn and Kick Johnson, stressed defense and execution dur- ing their practices. 7 op. I-irst year Heud Coach 7on Barone was not afraid to let his players and fans know what he was thinking.

Wui id Hiiula i MEN ' S BASKETBALL Indeed, defense was the Jays ' call- ing card during their first three games, all victories at home. Despite choppy offensive perfor- mances, Creighton defeated Bran- don University Of Canada in an ex- hibition game, 73-54, and took Augustana and Nebraska-Omaha by the scores of 61-51 and 64-51, respec- tively. The first test of the Bluejays ' met- tle came in the next game, against Xavier. The Musketeers came into Omaha as the favorites in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The Bluejays weren ' t impressed, however, and behind some deadly shooting by Swain and Johansen, took a 24-15 lead with 7:42 left in the first half. Xavier suddenly woke up at that point and reeled off 12 straight points to lead 27-24 at the in- termission. Creighton stormed back into the lead at the start of the second half and led 42-37 with just over eight minutes left when Evans fouled out. It would turn out to be one of his worst games of the year, as he scored just six points on 3 for 10 shooting. Less than two minutes later. Smith also committed his fifth foul. Xavier responded with a 6-0 spurt that gave them a 43-42 lead with 6:45 left, and they hung on for a tense 56-53 victory. It was a very tough loss, but Creighton nontheless showed some maturity and poise. Most important- ly, they proved they could hold their own against tough competition. Now the first road game was on the horizon, against Nebraska in Lincoln. The Cornhuskers featured one of the best centers in the country in Dave Hoppen, and it looked like Creighton would take a beating on the boards. Amazingly, Creighton o utrebounded the Huskers 14-13 in the first half, which helped keep them within one point at 28-27. 130 Top: Swain lets one fly from the free- throw line. Left: Smith skies against Brandon. They continued to confound Nebraska at the start of the second half, at one point leading 30-29. But suddenly Husker guard Brian Carr found the basket--and found it and found it. His 9-for-ll shooting forced Creighton out of their zone, which opened things up for Hoppen. The combination spelled doom for the Jays as they fell, 71-52. Following exam week, Creighton traveled to Milwaukee to play another tough opponent, Marquette. The Warriors featured a powerful in- side game that they counted on to give Smith and Johansen trouble. What they didn ' t count on was 34 points from Kenny Evans. Coming off two subpar games, the forward played the entire game, shot 11 of 13 from the floor, made all 12 of his free throws, snared 12 rebounds, and did everything but sell popcorn. He almost singlehandedly carried Creighton to a 38-35 halftime lead. Unfortunately, his performance wasn ' t contagious. Morris ' shooting woes continued with a 2 for 12 perfor- mance, and Johansen, in just 18 minutes playing time, fouled out with 12:52 left. Meanwhile, Mar- quette ' s inside bangers, who had a sleepy first half, took advantage of Stefaniak ' s inexperience in the pivot, and the ensuing turnovers and fastbreaks surged Marquette to a 76-62 win. It was the third straight game in which Creighton played a solid first half, only to fall at the end. The Bluejays rebounded with two easy victories over Austin Peay and Kearney State at the Civic. Follow- ing a Christmas break, they traded the snow of Omaha for the smog of Los Angeles to take on the Universi- ty of Southern California. Once again, the Bluejays played gamely against a team with superior talent, but once again they came up short, 59-54. Creighton made only 3 of 9 free throws in the second half, which ac- counted for the final margin. Two nights later the Jays faced yet another powerhouse on the road, Notre Dame. They hung tough in the first half, relying on the shooting of Evans and Morris, and trailed 32-28 at the break. But the team ' s two key rebounders. Smith and Johansen, wound up playing just 24 and 16 minutes respectively before fouling out. Notre Dame ' s balanced attack pecked away at the Bluejay defense and, despite only ten points from All- American David Rivers, the Irish pulled away for an easy 80-54 vic- tory. lop: Asst.

Before the game, Barone decided to juggle his lineup, starting Smith at forward in place of Whetstone. But the story was the same-great effort, tough defeat. It was a see-saw contest with the teams alternating streaks all game, but the Bluejays 36 percent shooting cost them the contest, 59-57. The heartbreaking loss seemed to stay with them on their trip to Tulsa to play the Golden Hurricane. Once again poor shooting haunted Creighton-Evans wound up 3 for 12, while Swain finished a dismal 1 for 11. Reggie Morris ' 22 points was the only bright spot in an 85-59 blowout. West Texas State was next, and the Jays went to Amaril lo badly needing a win to gain some con- fidence and avoid the MVC cellar. Turnovers contributed heavily to a 26-18 Jay deficit at the half.

Both teams traded three baskets and a free throw in overtime, with Jchnson hitting a short jumper to tie it at 56 with :49 left. Then Creighton, looking for the last shot, ran the clock down to six seconds before Ed- wards finally drove the lane and put up a ten-footer that hit the front of the rim, bounced up... and in, giving Creighton the 58-56 win. The Jays had finally pulled out a close one. The team came back to Omaha to face Illinois State in a game that won ' t make any NCAA highlight films.

The second half was even worse, as a grand total of 27 points was scored. Leading 34-31 with less than a minute left, the Bluejays missed three free throws and fell 35-34 on a last-second Red- bird jumper. Things got no better when Dayton came to town. Once again poor shooting plagued the Jays, with Evans, Swain and Morris combining for a measly 27 percent. The Flyers never trailed in coasting to a 64-50 victory. The loss was Creighton ' s sixth in seven games, and Barone knew that changes would have to be made before Southern Illinois came to town. He would try a shorter star- ting lineup, inserting Renard Ed- wards as a guard and playing three 136 Clockwise from top left: Evans launches one from the parking lot.

The antidotes seemed to work as the Jays, buoyed by an 18-4 second half run, turned back the Salukis, 71-56. It was just the kind of victory the Bluejays wanted going into the Bradley game. The 17th-ranked Braves came into Omaha riding atop the MVC standings, and had won ten in a row. It was a game of spurts. Bradley scored the first five points of the game, but Creighton answered with ten straight. Then it was Bradley ' s turn for ten straight, and they stret- ' « MEN ' S BASKETBALL ched the lead to 21-12 with 9:22 left. Creighton charged back with a 12-3 run that tied the score at 24 with 4 : 41 to go in the first half. The teams traded baskets for the rest of the half, with the last one being a 25-foot bank shot at the buzzer by Bradley ' s Hersey Hawkins to knot the score at 32. Part of the reason for the tie score was Bradley ' s failure to score inside-center Mike Williams and forward Greg Jones accounted for a mere six points in the first half. But with Smith and Johansen in foul trouble, Bradley began to work in- side. At the same time, Creighton ' s shooting went cold, and the com- bination enabled Bradley to pull away to a 74-56 win. The woes continued for Creighton at Indiana State, as the Sycamores put together a ten-minute, 14-0 tear in the second half to bury the Blue- jays, 75-51. The game was especially costly as Kenny Evans went down with a knee injury late in the first half. He would wind up sitting out the next three contests. 138 Top. clockwise The team fires up before the first Bradlev ame Bradlev pavs for leaving Morris open J wish she ' d quit staring at me Johansen and Swain jockev for inside position VERNON MOORE Old Player, New Coach B Eunice S es Whether it be the people of Omaha or the echoes of past victories, Ver- non Moore, former Creighton basketball star, is back-but this time as part-time assistant basket- ball coach to the Bluejays. Leaving Creighton with an im- pressive scoring, rebounding, and assist record, Vernon returned to Creighton to give back what it has given to him. I came back to finish up with schooHng to get my degree in marketing, he said. Because Creighton is taking care of the tui- tion, I offered myself in order to compensate for that. Even though Vernon had not played college basketball for a year, the fever still burned. There were times, he said, that he wished he could get up, forget he was assistant coach, and go change into his uniform. It ' s different to be watching from the bench and not being able to play ; nor being able to do anything with the guys in a tight situation. Coaching is such a totally different environment. But what do the players think about their former teammate being a coach to them? Barone made it clear to them: Vernon is Coach Moore and is to treated as such. To be called coach has to be quite an accomplishment after four years of superb college ball. Vernon said that even after being away from his hometown New York City, he feels at home here in Omaha. Willis Reed, former Bluejay coach, recruited me; he was the main reason I came, he really push- ed me a lot. Omaha and its people have realK made me feel comfortable here-and they still are. Vernon says that he doesn ' t know where his future will be with basket- ball. I ' ve got to go wherever those marketing jobs are; you just aren ' t too sure about jobs nowadays. From Coach Reed to Coach Barone, Vernon said that Barone is a very emotional guy, but an excellent motivator. He ' s really hard on the guys; I think that he could have really helped us toward the end of last year when we lost six in a row. Barone ' s hard coaching will even- tually be good on the players, Venon said. It will really help them on and off the court. Vernon ' s future with the pros almost seemed certain until last summer. After he was drafted by the Washington Bullets, trained with the pros and became accustomed to a rigorous daily training schedule, Moore was waived by the Bullets. Pro ball is a lot different than col- lege ball, he said. The competi- tion is a lot more intense; more physical. I gained a lot of experience with them (the Bullets). It was a hard team to get on, but I really got an all- out effort with this group in trying to make the team-it was a memorable experience. Vernon looks away and adds, ...and my experience with Creighton basketball, the coaches- past and present-and the team- mates, are all memorable ex- periences. 139 MEN ' S BASKETBALL Below: The Jays take the floor against Bradley. Right: Swain shoots against In- diana State. Conference Schedule Begins Fortunately, Southern Illinois was next, and Creighton had no trouble putting away the Salukis, 66-54. Mor- ris went 11 for 13 from the floor while scoring 25, and Johansen had his best game as a Bluejay, scoring 15 and blocking four shots. Tulsa was coming, however, and it didn ' t look good for Creighton with Evans in street clothes. Barone com- pensated by moving Swain to for- ward and starting Edwards at guard. Things stayed close until Creighton went on a 13-3 spurt that was capped off by an Edwards drive down the lane, good for a three point play that put the Jays ahead 23-13. With Wyville Wood spelling Morris off the bench, the makeshift lineup took a 28-16 lead into the locker room, to everybody ' s surprise but their own. It was the same story in the second half as Creighton led by no less than eight points until a Tulsa three point play made the score 40-35 with 4:53 left. But when a third Tulsa starter fouled out with 1:36 remaining and 140 Creighton up by six, it looked like the Jays ' game to win. Or lose. Two free throws, a jump- shot, a steal and a lay-up later, Tulsa had tied the game at 46 with :44 left. Once again, it took a Renard Ed- wards ten-footer with three seconds left to seal the 48-46 upset for Creighton. The team took their back-to-back victories to Bradley for a rematch against the 13th-ranked Braves. But with Evans back in Omaha nursing his injury, the Bluejays were no match for the flawless play of the MVC leaders, who rolled to a 79-59 win. It was back to the Civic to meet Drake, the second place team in the MVC. Evans was back, but he never quite got into the flow and finished with just six points. Meanwhile. Bulldog forwards David Miller and Melvin Mathis combined for 28 points and 17 rebounds, bolstering Drake to a 65-52 conquest. Creighton bounced back with a 64-51 defeat of Indiana State, as Gary Swain pumped in a career-high 21 points. Then it was De Paul ' s turn. The Blue Demons had been lethargic all year and were coming off an embar- rasing loss to Louisville. A Creighton victory would be trebly satisfying- the game was being televised on na- tional cable, and Barone was play- ing the premier team from his hometown. Chicago. Creighton wasted no time in jump- ing out to a 10-1 lead. The trend con- tinued as the Bluejays burned the nets for 70 percent in the first half, with most of the shots being screamers from the perimeter. De Paul couldn ' t accomplish anything on offense, and went into the locker room reeling from a 44-29 deficit. The Demons finally got back into it when a three point play from for- ward Dallas Comegys sparked a seven point run that closed the gap to 50-40. Things looked worse for Creighton when Johansen fouled out with 10:16 left. Yet the Bluejays still shut De Paul down inside. To top it off. the Blue Demons shot an un- forgivable 9 for 22 at the line for the game. Appropriately, the 13 misses accounted for the final margin in a convincing 74-61 upset. The confident Jays faced West Texas State next, and after trailing the entire game, squeezed out a 48-47 win when Renard Edwards - who else ? - swished two free throws with seven seconds left in the final home game of the vear.

It was the Bluejays ' second disappointing loss to the Red- birds, and it might have fazed the team, a less confident team, two months earlier Instead, they traveled to Drake, determined to avenge an embarras- ing 103-54 loss a year ago. Once again Creighton ' s shots were hitting nothing but twine, with Swain and Evans throwing in bombs from all over Des Moines. While Drake stayed close all the way through the second half after being tied 22-22 at the break, they never found a way to shut Creighton ' s offense down. Buoyed by Johansen ' s tenacious re- bounding, Swain ' s career-high 25 points, and about 40 screaming fans from Omaha, the Jays pulled another upset, 68-62. They had a week to savor the win before traveling to Wichita State for the final game before the MVC tour- nament. Despite shooting only four free throws to the Shockers ' 30, the Jays took State to double overtime before bowing, 69-64. It was a tough loss, but the team played well for the sixth game in a row, and headed for the tourney in Tulsa upset-minded. They drew Drake for the first round, and the less said about the rubber game against the Bulldogs, the better. The Dogs played near perfect basketball for 40 minutes, as David Miller led a balanced scoring attack with 17 points. Drake was never challenged in the second half as they cruised to an 82-56 victory. But it was hardly a time for the Bluejays to hang their heads. They finished tied for fifth in the MVC when most people projected them eighth or ninth. They went 7-9 in the conference and 12-15 overall against a schedule that included eight games against teams that would get NCAA bids and five more against NIT teams. They came to play most every game, and it paid off in three inspiring upsets. It was the first year of the Barone Era, and a good year it was.

I -i 145 TONY BARONE A Family Man First By Laurie Vail Creighton basketball coach Tony Barone grew up in an ethnic melting pot, Chicago. But even memories of a life that he says wasn ' t very easy still bring a smile to his face. Barone ' s father died when he was two, so the sole responsibility of rearing him and his older sister, Adrienne, fell on his mother. She often held three jobs just to get the family by. ' ' A lot of people who grew up in up- per middle class environments never knew what it was like to sneak into a ballgame, to scrape to get by, or even to struggle for a daily ex- istence. A special bond grew bet- ween people in the neighborhood. Friendships were based on loyalty and they ran deep; I don ' t see those close-knit relationships developing now, Barone said. Growing up in the situation he did gave Barone a special insight to achievement. Where I come from, you grew up with an attitude that nothing is going to be easy, Barone you get, but when you do achieve that goal, it ' s much more satisfying. Barone viewed athletic achieve- ment as a way out of a bad situation. His mother got him involved in sports in junior high to keep him off the streets, and in doing so she pro- vided him with something even more valuable: a father figure. A little league coach named Tracey took a great deal of interest in me, and so did a lot of others. I had a great deal of respect... for coaches, from day one. Barone ' s athletic skills won him a scholarship to play basketball for Duke University. He says he picked up his own coaching attitudes from his coach, Vic Bubas. Everyone has an opinion about coaches, but very few people really understand what goes into the coaching profes- sion. Barone picked up more than at- titudes on basketball from Bubas. The best advice I ever received was from Vic, who said, ' If you realy want to become a coach, the most important decision you ' re going to make is the type of person you marry ' . Barone and his wife Kathy have a bright person who is really an asset to me in my particular profes- sion. She ' s willing to stand up to me, he said. She ' ll tell me when I ' m being a jerk... and that makes me think. You need to give your spouses freedom to express themselves in whatever way, but you better sit down before you get married and discuss your expectations for the marriage. You ' re going to have problems-that ' s the bottom line, but it can work if you keep the lines of communication open, Barone said. Because of his job a lot of his work is done at home, and the team becomes like a second family to him. You become involved with the personal problems of each of your players ; if you don ' t you are making a big mistake. You simply feel a certain closeness to your players. I try to coach the team as if they were a part of my family. If you have a problem you try to solve it the same way you would a family problem. You discipline players just like you discipline your own kids. The Barones have three children. Daughter Amy is 16, son Tony Jr. is 12, and son Brian is 8. Kathy is from a family of 10 children. Barone considers family life to be very important. One of the biggest fears I have is the thought that I haven ' t prepared my kids well enough to face the realities of life. What I portray, religiously, morally and ethically affects them. It ' s typical to tell a kid what to do, but they ' re not going to buy it if you don ' t set the example, Barone said. I think the most important thing I want my kids to know is the value of hard work and diligence. I expect a lot from my kids because I want them to understand the value of self- discipline and self-motivation, Barone said. The Barones set curfews and other rules, but Tony says, We try to sup- port our kids in the decisions theil make. 1 Family activities are important to Barone. They may range from trips to simply time spent at homej together. In his spare time Barona reads Arthur Conan Doyle mysteriel and he tries to get his kids to read as well. _ Of course Barone likes sportsfl| even sports besides basketball. oW the people that he admires, Pete Rose tops the list. 8 A lot of us work hard but we don ' tS always see visible results. Pete Ros has worked hard and the results are§ obvious. M Barone has set at least one goal fo H himself and he said, I want th H peace of mind that I have done s P good job. p When asked what he would want if he could have anything for his birth- centers would be nice, but just to have someone say ' You did a good job ' would be the best present to me. INP ' W WOMEN ' S By Mike Larsen Take a schedule that includes games against national women ' s basketball powers like Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Louisiana Tech and Northwestern Louisiana, and two games apiece against Kansas, Nebraska and Marquette. Throw in injury problems for four of five starters and four reserves so that the only women who played healthy the entire season were one starting guard, a freshman recruit and two walk-ons. Add multi-game road trips to Texas, Illinois and Louisiana. Then try to explain how the Lady Jays managed to compile a 20-8 record for the 1985-86 season. It ' s been a very rewarding season, Coach Bruce Rasmussen said. The kids have had to over- come a lot, 18 road games, a lot of games in a short amount of time, players coming back from serious injuries. We overcame more than at any other time. We ' ve shown that we can compete at a national level when there was a time that we had trouble competing on our own campus. Some highlights to the Lady Jays ' season included the record-breaking performance of Connie Yori, an 11-game winning streak that includ- ed a road sweep of four Chicago- area schools, and the extension of a home winning string to 28 games in a row. We were 20-8, and a 20-win season is something a lot of people shoot for, said Yori, who closed out her four years at Creighton with 2,010 career points. The 20-win season is the standard for what peo- ple consider a good season. And we could have won, realistically, at least four more games if we could have pulled out some of them. As she did her freshman and sophomore seasons, Yori led the team in scoring. She finished with 572 points, an average of 20.4 per game, while starting all 28 contests. Two teammates also averaged in BASKETBALL Left: Yori looks for an opening against Marquette. 148 Left: Hohl looks to dish it off against Marquette. Below: Warren brings the ball up.

Junior Janet Ensign added 215 points in 28 games (7.7 average), senior Amy Allard 195 in 28 (7.0) and senior Donna Chvatal 114 in 22 (5.2) Yori topped the team in minutes (999), field goals (229), free throws (114) and steals (67). Warren was the leader in free throw percentage (.847 on 83-of-98 shooting) and assists (184) with Gradoville first in rebounds (229) and Ensign leading the regulars in field goal percentage (.561 on 83-of-148 shooting). Starters Yori, Warren, Gradoville and Ensign accomplished their team-leading performances despite a variety of injuries that included: --A comeback from major reconstructive knee surgery and chronic arch problems for Yori. --A torn anterior cruciate that oc- curred in preseason practice and re- quired use of a brace throughout the season for Ensign. -Ligament damage in an ankle that slowed Warren from Thanksgiving on. -A torn calf muscle that slowed Gradoville. Injuries also cut into the playing and practice time of part-time starter Chvatal (knee problems after knee surgery on both knees that eventually led to her ending her career before the season was com- plete), sophomores Pam Rudisill (stress fracture) and Gayle Hiemstra (a deep bruise in the quadricep that sidelined her from Thanksgiving until early February) and freshman Jeannine Kardell (stress fracture). That left only Allard, freshman Mary Hohl (who had some ankle problems and lost her two front teeth) and two walk-ons - junior Kim Gilroy and freslynan Patty Stander -- relatively healthy throughout the season. -,.

And there ' s a difference when someone ' s not entirely healed and playing hurt from when they ' re coming off an in- jury. And that was reflected in some early losses. Yet when they were fresh, they beat some awfully good teams. The bigger wins for the Lady Jays included triumphs over Missouri (84-71), Kansas (85-67 after dropping a 79-54 decision earlier in the year), Marquette (75-56 and 84-53), Loyola- Chicago (117-108 in four overtimes) and Nebraska (76-58 after losing 86-77). Creighton also played close on the road against Louisiana Tech, dropp- ing a 66-61 decision. Tech was rank- ed third nationally at the time. Oklahoma, Iowa and Northwestern Louisiana were all ranked at the time they defeated Creighton, as were Missouri and Kansas when they met the Lady Jays. We had a schedule where we played some highly rated teams, Rasmussen said. It was a difficult schedule, and playing many of those games on the road made it even more difficult. The Lady Jays got off to a 5-2 start (the losses coming against Oklahoma and Iowa) before hitting a snag in their season. The women dropped decisions to Nebraska and Kansas, then defeated Wichita State before heading to Texas for three games - losses to Texas-San Antonio and Texas A M sandwiched around a win over Baylor. 153 CONlSflE YORI A REMARKABLE CAREER By Mike Larsen When it comes time to talk about Connie Yori, the records speak for themselves. Not the 2,010 points in four years, the most ever by a Nebraska women ' s basketball player and the most by a Creighton basketball player regardless of gender. And not the team records for career assists, career steals, career rebounds, single-season points and single-season rebounds. No, when it comes to talking about Yori, the following records are the ones that matter: In 1981-82, the Lady Jays were 6-21. During Yori ' s four year, the women went 17-11 in 1982-83, 18-10 in 1983-84, 21-6 in 1984-85 and 2 ' 0-8 in 1985-86. Each year we ' ve improved as a team, Yori said. It was fun to be a part of that. My biggest goal was to come and help a program, and I think I ' ve done that. Yori joined the team for the 1982-83 season after an outstanding high school career in Ankeny, Iowa. She began her Lady Jays ' career with a bang, starting all 28 gam es and scoring 589 points (a 21-point average). She followed that up with 27 starts in a 28-game sophomore season that saw her score 569 points (20.3 per contest). Then, midway through her junior season, problems struck. In the 15th game of the season, Yori injured her knee and missed the rest of the year. Before undergoing surgery, she managed 280 points (18.7 per con- test). Yori bounced back from the surgery for a fine senior season, starting all 28 games and scoring 572 points (20.4 a game). Along the way, the team records fell career points (2,010), career assists (399), career steals (292), career rebounds (746), single-season points (589 in 1982-83) and single- season rebounds. Where Yori didn ' t set records, she came close. She ranks second on the team charts in career field goal percentage (54.2 on 797 of 1,471 shooting) and career free throw percentage (77.5 on 416-of-537 shooting), and third in single-season assists (128 in 1985-86), single-season field goal percentage (55 on 238-of-433 shooting in 1982-83) and games played (99). It ' s difficult to talk about Connie, Coach Bruce Rasmussen said. When you attempt to ver- balize, it doesn ' t come close to describing what she has meant to the team. Yori is equal in her praise for Rasmussen. I think that Coach Rasmussen has been the major force behind our success, she said. In the last four years, he has done a great job recruiting the type of player that fits into our program. We have a very well-rounded team. I felt that he taught me a tremen- dous amount about the game of basketball. I appreciate the time he spent with me. He was patient. That patience was tested when Yori suffered the knee injury in her junior year. The surgery that follow- ed gave no guarantee she would be able to return for her senior season. Connie had two major injuries to deal with this past season, Rasmussen said. She had complete reconstruction of her knee, then reinjured the knee. As recently as late September, we didn ' t think she ' d play at all this season. Then, she ' s also had real bad arch problems. Each one of the in- juries could have kept her out by themselves. Despite the struggles with the in- juries, Yori said, her senior season went OK. I ' m pretty happy with the way things turned out, she said. As late as October, I still was not prac- ticing full out. I wore my brace until Christmas. I struggled pretty much at the beginning of the year. I was getting a lot of minutes, but not the quality of minutes I wanted. Asked to look back on her career for a highlight, Yori cited the im- provement of the program. When Rasmussen was asked the same question, his answer was even more broad. Her four-year career has been one big highlight for me, Rasmussen said. Not just on the court, but dealing with her as a per- son and as an athlete. It makes it easy when your best player is also your hardest worker. It ' s difficult to know her exact impact on our pro- gram, but look at us before she came and look at us now. Now we have reached the point where we can be successful without a Connie Yori-type player. But for a few years, she carried our team. She had as much to do with us becoming respected as anybody. , ' ' .■ ' . ■ ' • ■ :i, - ' -f- X WOMEN ' S BASKETBALL The 2-4 mark during that part of the year put the Lady Jays at 7-6. But the women quickly rebounded, running off 11 wins in a row before travehng to Louisiana and dropping games to Northwestern Louisiana and Louisiana Tech. Returning to Omaha, Creighton completed its season with wins over North Dakota State and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, We were 13-2 after Christmas with the two losses against teams that hadn ' t lost at home all season, Rasmussen said. Loyola ' s only home loss of the season was to us. We had bad stretches and some bad games, but not many. We really became a good team. In a Jan. 25 home game against Marquette, Yori scored her 1,877th career point, breaking the school record of 1,876 set by Bob Portman. The records don ' t mean a whole lot to me, Yori said. It ' s more ex- citing to win and to have our team do good. Yori, Allard and Chvatal com- pleted their collegiate careers in 1985-86, playing for teams that went 41-14 over their last two seasons. But, Rasmussen said, the cupboard is far from bare for 1986-87. I really think that we may have our best team, he said. We ' ve got seven kids who are really solid players coming back. We ' ve got three starters back and four kids who had nonproductive years - two because of injuries and two because they were freshmen - who I expect to be good. Last year at this time, we didn ' t expect to have seven solid players. Barring the unforeseen, even if we were to sign no recruits, I wouldn ' t be afraid to play with the team I have right now.  ' li 156 Clockwise from below: A familiar sight -- a Lady Jay victory; Yori, Allard and Gradoville attack Missouri Western; Chvatal concentrates at the free throw line; Hohl looks for help; One for all, all for one. OMEN ' S BASKETBALL AMY ALLARD TWO SENIORS WHd By Mike Larsen The 1982 women ' s basketball recruiting class is no doubt best known for one player -- Connie Yori. But Yori wasn ' t the only player with record potential who joined the Lady Jays for the 1982-83 season. Its other members completed their senior seasons in 1985-86 with one or the other holding the following marks - first in career games played, second in career scoring, se- cond in career steals, third in single- season steals, and fourth and fifth in career assists. And, according to Coach Bruce Rasmussen, the merits of seniors Amy Allard of Jefferson, S.D., and Donna Chvatal of Morse Bluff, Neb., extend beyond what they can do on a basketball court. The first thing you look for is that you want your players to represent your team, your athletic program and Creighton University in a positive manner, Rasmussen said. I can ' t think of a time when they didn ' t make us proud. They ' re very representative of what we ' re hoping to get done. The senior class this year is a major reason for our tur- naround from 6-21 the year before they came. Of the two, Allard got in the most playing time in her four years, set- ting the team record by playing in 106 games. She started in 13 of her 23 appearances as a freshman, 24 of 28 as a sophomore, all 27 as a junior and 20 of 28 as a senior. Allard finished her career second in career points (910) and fifth m career assists ( 187 ) . J Amy Allard has been one of thie best defensive players during her four years here, Rasmussen said. She ' s improved every year. And she will leave here as our No. 2 career scorer despite being known for her defense and being used as a role player on offense. According to Rasmussen, Chvatal arrived at Creighton with possibilities for an outstanding career. Unfortunately, injuries dur- ing her final three seasons prevented her from reaching her full DONNA CHVATAL HELPED TURN IT A potential. Donna is the — . . . v.. strongest about, Rasmussen said. She ' s had a frustrating career. During her freshman year, she gave every indication that she was going to be as good a player as ever came through here. Chvatal played in all 28 games that year, 17 as a starter. She had 179 points (6.4 per game), 124 rebounds (a 4.4 average), 73 steals and 86 assists. She appeared in 20 games as a sophomore -- all as a starter - before problems began. Knee surgery end- ed hep season after 183 points (9.2 a game) and 112 rebounds (5.6). An at- tempted comeback as a junior lasted 13 minutes of the season opener, time enough for five points and one rebound before more knee pro- blems. Chvatal entered her senior season having had major surgery on both knees. She started nine games and appeared in 22 before calling it a career because of the injuries. She added 114 points (5.2 per contest) and 69 rebounds (3.1) in the 22 con- tests. One reason she ' s been hurt is that she plays so hard, Rasmussen said. It started with shin sphnts, then surgery on one knee, then on the other. She ' s done everything she was supposed to only to get rein- jured. It ' s been frustrating for Donna, and you ' ve got to feel for her. Chvatal ' s 73 steals as a freshman are third-best in team history for a single season. Her 150 career steals rank her second and her 197 career assists fourth. Like Yori, Allard and Chvatal completed their degree re- quirements in four years, an ac- complishment Rasmussen said must rank high. The most pleasing thing is to see their development as people, he said. There ' s a lot they need to learn coming in, and they ' ve grown as human beings. If they had never scored a point on the basketball court, they had success on this campus. SOCCER By Pat Porter A tou h schedule, lack of offensive production and bad luck spelled a difficult season for the Creighton soccer team. Most of the problems the 5-12 Javs encountered were on the road. The kickers were a very respectable 5-3 at Rosenblatt Stadium, but the road was unfriendly: the Jays dropped all nine games they played outside of Omaha. Our record was disappointing, Coach Don Klosterman said. We had some games where we played well and didn ' t win. We started off... feeling positive, we were feel- ing good, and then things didn ' t go well against some tough teams. The team opened on the road against St. Louis University which was ranked sixth nationally at the time. Despite starting an inex- perienced team including only one senior and two juniors, the Jays gave St. Louis a scare before falling 3-2. We played very well, Kloster- man recalled. We look back and see that we probably should have won. Following the St. Louis defeat, the team dropped two more, to Bowling Green and Eastern Illinois. Despite playing well, the team suddenly found itself at 0-3. We had three games in a row against very, very difficult competi- tion. They were all away games. We played very well, but didn ' t come away with a win, Klosterman said. Creighton bounced back with two well-earned victories against Grand View College and Benedictine Col- lege, but the success was short- lived. The Jays traveled to the Air Force Academy to play the Univer- sity of San Francisco, but they left their game back in Omaha. Kloster- man called their 8-0 loss the worst game of the season. Every game of the season-even the 12 we lost-only one game, against San Francisco, did I feel like we were not in the game, that we had no idea what we were doing, Klosterman said. After dropping another decision, a 4-1 loss to Air Force, the team returned to open the Creighton Classic against Southern Methodist. Both teams came into the game 160 fired up. The Jays badly needed a victory to restore some confidence in their freshman- and sophomore- dominated team. But the Mustangs were on a roll, having just beaten previously undefeated and ninth- ranked North Texas State. It was a war-a tense, bitterly fought contest that Klosterman call- ed the best game of the year. Both teams squandered chances at goals, but SMU capitalized on one oppor- tunity and eked out a 1-0 victory. The loss was a heartbreaker for the Bluejays as they just missed upsetting the team that would finish the year ranked first in the region. After SMU, we couldn ' t quite get back on track, Klosterman said. Things went more downhill because... we knew that our season, from the standpoint of getting an NCAA bid, was over. The team rebounded with a 2-0 defeat of Northeast Missouri State and a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Tarkio College. But just as things were looking up, n Left, clockwise: Gerry Modglin warms up before the game. Keith Knopf looks for an opening The Jays celebrate a goal. Kurt Schoen puts the ball in play.

Two weeks later the team lost another nail-biter to Rockhurst College when, with less than two minutes left and the game scoreless, a Rockhurst player scored on a corner kick that hit a goalpost and squirted into the net. The team eventually lost six straight until salvaging the final game against Southwest Missouri State. The success of this team is measured by the individual perfor- mances. Among the standouts were several freshmen. Pat Kocourek, Bob Signorello and Scott Wib- benmeyer headed a corps of newcomers that accounted for 11 of the team ' s first 12 goals in the season ' s first four games a figure that ' s more impressive considering that last year ' s team scored only 12 goals all year. Another big contribution was made by freshman goalie Mike Stad- nyk who impressed Klosterman with 162 a strong effort in a difficult role. Complementing the frosh were two veteran starters, sophomore Kurt Schoen and junior Jim Stoep- pler. The latter has started every game for Creighton over the past three years. The captains were Gerry Modglin and Matt McCormick. Modglin, a senior, capped a fine career by mak- ing the second string of the Adidas Academic Ail-American team. Mc- Cormick started every game but two and inspired the players through his guts and dermination. Matt started because he worked and worked and worked. He had more desire than anybody, Klosterman said. The coach also complimented his assistant, senior Jim Swanson, on a job well done. During the early part of the season, he took players out to practice early on his own to work with them on shooting and scoring. He also helped set a lot of (freshmen) psychologically. Jim Swanson was a tremendous help, a big asset to the club this year. Clockwise from top: Steve Nikodem directs the offense. Hey, who brought the marshmallows? Some hearty patrons brave the cold.

' ' ■ . 163 SOCCER On November 26, 1985, during a meeting of the Creighton Athletic Board, Athletic Director Don Leahy proposed that the Board drop the soccer and rifle teams from the of- ficial varsity sport roster. By 5:30 that afternoon, the Board voted to discontinue the sports, effective Sept. 1, 1986. The decision to drop the programs provided a wide range of opinion supporting and lamenting the deci- sion. One player. Arts Junior Matt McCormick, circulated petitions on campus and in several Omaha high schools, and gathered over 1,000 signatures. The petitions were then presented to Creighton President the Rev. Michael Morrison, S.J., but to no avail. As of February 1986, the decision stands. The following are four viewpoints on the decision. The Program Is Dropped Mr. Leahy was named Creighton ' m athletic director in May 1985. He waM previously athletic director at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Factors Influencing The Decision To Drop Soccer As A Varsity Sport. 1. $90,000-Next year may be as tough as this year financially-Basketballi income down dramatically. 2. NCAA has reduced its minimunl sponsorship requirements to sii men and six women sports whicH made it possible for us to drop twc men ' s sports. 3. Soccer is not a Missouri Valley Conference sport. 4. There is NO varsity or Division I soccer competition in the surroun- ding area. The CLOSEST are: Air Force Academy, St. Louis and Western Illinois. I 5. Soccer is not an official sport «l the Omaha or Nebraska high schools. 6. We do not have a practice or game facility for soccer. 164 DON KLOSTERMAN Mr. Klosterman was Creighton ' s head soccer coach for the past three seasons. He was head soccer coach a Benedictine College for four years before coming to Creighton in 1983. Eight years ago the Creighton Athletic Board began discussion on adding soccer as an intercollegiate sport. But before the stamp of ap- proval was given, months of in- vestigation and analysis took place. Their time and effort paid off. The soccer program deve oped into a source of pride for the athletic department and the university over the next seven years. Some accomplishments of the soc- cer program include : 1. The recruitment of the true student-athlete. A. Four soccer graduates at Creighton ' s School of Medicine; B. Three currently at Creighton ' s School of Dentistry and one at The University of Missouri-Kansas City Dental School ; C. One presently at Creighton School of Law and a 1983 graduate of o ur law school; D. One studying international business in Spain; E. One doing graduate work in psychology; F. Two Alpha Sigma Nu honorees ; G. One Reinert award winner; H. One academic all-American; I. A 3.0 team grade point average over the last four years. 2. Despite its won-loss record over the years, the soccer program gain- ed national respect as a Division I contender. 3. Twice, Jim Dalla Riva received Midwest- All American honors. 4. The Creighton soccer program became a leader in the Omaha soc- cer community by attracting close to 1,000 participants in annual spring player and coaches clinics. Summer soccer camps rose to over 250 kids the last two years. The loss of the soccer program will probably have very little impact on the Creighton community. I can hope that it is remembered by the quality student-athlete that represented the university so well. The Creighton University soccer urogram could have and should have )een saved. v 165 SOCCER Viewpoints From The Students MIKE LARSEN An Arts Senior, Mike Larsen was the editor of the Creightonian cam- pus newspaper for the 1985-86 school year. The discontinuance ot the soccer program, along with that of the rifle team, are issues on which it is easy to take sides. To the athletic director and the ad- ministration, the position is clear. Finances dictate a reduction in sports. Soccer and rifle are, for various reasons, the most logical choices to go. Yes, it ' s too bad. But other options are even worse. To the coach, the players and the fans, the position is equally clear. Soccer is the major fall sport. The team is young and building. The sport itself is on the rise nationwide. It would be ridiculous for a school the size of .Creighton to eliminate soccer at this particular time. Financial and other programs can be overcome. Conflicting viewpoints? Certainly. Equally plausible to those espousing the viewpoints? No doubt. When viewpoints are sought from , those further removed from the situtation, the answers are apt to be less clean-cut. People wi 1 lean toward or against agreeing with the situation-sometimes quite strongly. And some will have no opinion on the manner. As editor of the campus newspaper, my opinion is one removed from the situation. The position of editor also suggests that I am sure to have an opinion one way or the other on about anything that takes place around Creighton. Should soccer (and, for that mat- ter, rifle) have been dropped as a school-sponsored sport? My answer is a hedging vote in favor. That is not to say that all those removed from the situation are pleased with what happened. As with any person, I bring to the situa- tion an assortment of precepts uni- quely my own. One is that soccer is one of the most boring spectator sports around. Football in the fall, basket- ball in the winter and baseball in the spring are the collegiate spec- tator sports. Obviously, football is rnativ but soccer ' s presence or absence doesn ' t seem to make much dif- ference in terms of compensation anyway. Rather than repeat the University line on why soccer was eliminated (cost, field availability, opponent availability), I choose to examine some objections to its dismissal. The dismissal was not handled in the best possible way. Some forewarning for Coach Klosterman and the players would have been nice. If the complaints are about the way the elimination was handled, let them come freely and with justice. But, had a lengthy period existed between the time Klosterman and his players learned elimination of the sport was being considered and the time it was actually dropped, would the final outcome have been any different? Yes, there were some substantial donations offered to keep the team afloat. But how much weight would (and should) short-term financing have in a long-term decision to eliminate a team? Yes, fans could have banded together and protested so vehement- ly that there would be no way the program could be dropped. But how vehemently would fans have pro- tested? It ' s one thing for a number of students to say they think it was wrong to drop soccer or even to go so far as to sign a petition. But how far beyond that would the typical stu- dent go to save the team? Atten- dance figures certainly don ' t in- dicate support was all that strong when the team existed. Yes, it is too bad about all the recruited players who don ' t have a team to play for now. But you don ' t keep a program going that you feel is floundering badly just beicause a few student-athletes will be tem- porarily inconvenienced. So, was the decision to drop soccer correct? Was the decision to drop soccer unfortunate? A ' yes ' to both questions-from someone removed from the situation. V  i i- ' IjmMWk rK, j Wjt6K f As a senior in high school I knew exactly what type of college I wanted to attend. I wanted to go someplace where I would be assured of receiving an excellent education and still be able to play in a tough -Division I soccer program. ■By the middle of March I had visited a few schools and still not found what I was looking for. The coach at Creighton at that time was Wayne Rasmussen. He visited me at home in February and called me three or four times. Through his visits, I became very interested in learning more about Creighton. On a Wednesday evening Coach Rasmussen came to my house again to talk with my parents. The next day I rode back to Creighton with him to visit the campus, and I was very impressed. I believed the school was dedicated to turning out g l-around quality individuals. ||l Many of the players were pre-med or pre-dental majors with tough academic schedules. They talked of how the coach made sure they were able to keep up with academics dur- ing soccer season. The program had just completed its first varsity season playing a relatively easy schedule. I saw the schedule for the next season and it was much improved. I was sure GERRY MODGLIN A Business Senior, Gerry Modglin was a four-year starter at backfielder for the Bluejay soccer team. He was named an academic All-American in 1985. happy here. I feel I have received a qua ity education. I am an officer in the honorary accounting fraternity, a member of the honorary business fraternity, and a member of the honorary Jesuit fraternity. Although our soccer team had poor records the last two seasons, the program was definitely improv- ing. Our schedule and the quality of players brought here has improved every year. I was the only senior on the team this year, and I feel we would have signed a couple of quali- ty players for next season. The pro- gram was just a step away from tak- ing off. When talking with others about Creighton, I have always spoken with great pride. Now when I talk with people about Creighton I have somewhat of a hollow feeling. The first question everyone back home asks me is, What happened to the soccer pro- gram? I do not know how to answer them. The university made a big mistake in dropping the program. Mr. Leahy, athletic director, never had any intention of building a strong soccer program. He was look- ing to drop the program as fast as he could. Any talk about Creighton be- ing committed to an excellent athletic program is nonsense. Mr T.pnhv is intprpsffri in hiiildinf taught me to do my best, and it hurts to see them settle for the minimum acceptable. Money could not have been that big a factor. Soccer is cheap com- pared to most other sports. Only one coach and very little equipment is needed. Soccer scholarships here were not large. Mine covered less than one third of my costs of atten- ding Creighton. Relatively little travel is involved. We play approx- imately 18 games, nine at home and nine on the road. We schedule our road trips so we play two or three games each place we go. That in- volves only four or five trips a season, usually to St. Louis or the Northern Illinois-Wisconsin region. Also, Anheuser-Busch was willing to donate $20,000. I especially feel sorry for the younger players. If I would have had freshman or sophomore year I would have been devastated. These players were given the same pro- mises I was about receiving a quali- ty education and playing for a Divi- sion I soccer program. Basically, they were lied to. In the future I hope the university uses more care and judgment in its decision-making. If university of- ficials want students to believe what  uld be attending Creighton.

By Scott Salwolke I was very pleased with the 1985 team. said head baseball coach Jim Hendry. This was my first year as head coach and we came in- to the situation with a lot of young people. We had to start three freshman every game, he said. We looked like a kind of mediocre club on paper, but we did very well. There were a lot of people who didn ' t expect us to win 20 games, he said The men ' s team would indeed win 20 games. They finished the 1985 season with a record of 35-27. In the Missouri Valley conference, the Bluejays finished with a 7-13 record. The team ' s batting average was .293, but they were hurt bv a pitching staff who had an E.R.A. of 5.88. Still, Hendry was more than satisfied with his team. I felt like we had laid a good foun- dation for the next season, he said. Hendry was not the only one to ex- press optimism. The Bluejays had earned the respect of many of their opponents. Many looked ' for the men ' s team to do well in the fall. The Bluejays did not dissappoint. We came a long way in the fall. said Hendry. It was a major im- provement over the past season. Everyone came together and work- ed as a team. We played very well. The men ' s team finished the season with a 16-4 record. At the center of the success was the return of five quality seniors and three players who had played outstan- ding as freshman. Among the returning seniors was pitcher Dave Hartnett. The previous year Hartnett had a disappointing season with a 3-9 record and an E.R.A. of 6.63. In the fall, however, Hartnett became a key figure and pitched a key win against Kansas State. Kansas State is where we really came together. It was a important win for us. said Hendry. I was really impressed with the way Hart- nett handled the opposition. Dan Johnston was also important in the two innings he pitched. For Hendry the wins were not as important as the improved attitude of the team. We tried not to get too caught up in the winning in the fall. said Hen- dry. We were concentrating on developing a strong team for the spr- 168 CENTRAL PHARM 169 Left: Paul Sciiinitz rocks towards the plate. Below: Tim Osgood tries to punch one in the hole.

The main focus of attention of the fall season was on the younger players. These included three players who had started the previous year even though they were only freshmen. The performances of Tom Dierberger, Mike Barbato, and Bill Meier surprised many. All three ended the season batting above .300 Dierberger and Barbato both finish- ed above .350. The recruitment program was as successful as the baseball team. Three freshmen who had been pro- fessional draft choices decided to come to Creighton. Scott Servais had been a second round draft choice for 170 the New York Mets. Hendry felt that part of the credit for the success of the recruiting pro- gram must go to his returning players. Our own players had a lot to do with the new recruitments, said Hendry. Prospective players look for three things in choosing a col- lege. First is the quality of the education available, second is the quality of the coaching staff, and third is that they have good players to work with. I only spent 20 percent of their time with the prospective recruits. The rest of their time was spent with the players. All of this resulted in a new respect for the Creighton team.

It demands total concentra- ition, not to mention the ability to Teach down inside yourself when there may not be much left. At Creighton University, baseball -is Jim Hendry, the young head coach ioi the Bluejays. Hendry has describ- ed himself as a very positive, caring, hyper individual; a man who relies a great deal on gut feelings when it [comes to the game he loves and the men who play it. Coaching gives me the opportuni- ty to have a great relationship with some super young men, Hendry said. Hopefully, players will look back on their baseball careers and ; consider me a positive influence on •their lives. That Hendry ever became a baseball coach in the first place is a surprise to him. He attended Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala., where he graduated with a communication arts degree in 1977. He also played baseball there for four years. It was a small, NAIA school with a good baseball program, he said. I knew when I graduated that I had little or no chance at a pro baseball career, so I had hoped to go into sports broadcasting or public rela- tions. I had never thought about go- ing into coaching. After graduation, Hendry went back to his home in Dunedin, Ha. and worked in construction. He also was a part-time writer for the St. Petersburg Times. But in July of 1977, Hendry receiv- ed a call from the principal of Christopher Columbus High School, a private all-boys school in Miami. The two men had met previously, and now Hendry was offered a job as an assistant coach for both the foot- ball and baseball teams, plus teaching courses in math, English and journalism. In January of 1979, the head baseball coach at Columbus resign- ed, leaving the door open for his 23-year-old assistant. When they hired me as the head coach, most thought that I shouldn ' t have got the felt that age was really a factor, and I never doubted my ability to do the job. This put me over the hump as far as the decision to make coaching a career. Hendry made the most of his op- portunity at Columbus. In his three years as the head coach, his teams went 80-16. I had some excellent players, and the administration really let me run the show, he said. My most important contribution there was getting kids into college, giving the players the opportunity to continue playing ball once they left Columbus. During this period, Hendry met Dave Underwood, who at that time (1981-82) was the head baseball coach at Creighton. After Hendry ' s third year at Columbus, Underwood offered him the chance to be a full- time assistant coach for a Division I baseball program. So, in June of 1982, Hendry packed up his bags and headed for Omaha. Once again, it seemed that things just fell into place. In April of 1984, Underwood resigned, and at 28 Jim Hendfy took over as Creighton ' s head baseball coach. I consider myself very fortunate, he said. Creighton is an excellent situation, a school that can have an outstanding program without jeopardizing academics. Though moving from high school to college baseball is a big leap, Hen- dry said he has always kept the same coaching philosophy. My coaching philosophy is that 1 really don ' t have one, because I ' ve never really sat down and outlined how I would coach, he said. I ' m just Jim Hendry. I do what comes natural, and for me that ' s being a tough, honest, straightforward baseball coach. According to Hendry, his wife. Pier, whom he married in the fall of 1982, has been a stabilizing influence for him. She gave up a lot to leave Florida and come with me to Omaha, he said. Things were tough the first two years I was here, and she helped me to analyze things and put them in the proper perspec- tive. She ' s close with the players, she ' s unselfish, and she cares a great deal. Pier has just been tremendous for me. We will get better each and every year, as the program grows and matures. I think at this stage, we have an outstanding baseball pro- gram with some great kids. And, believe me, it ' s only going to get bet- SOFTBALL Above: Marina Watson delivers in the alumni game. B Fat Porter The sky ' s the limit for the 1986 Creighton Lady Jay Softball team. A solid combination of veterans and newcomers caught the eye of the college Softball world, and the Lady Jays started the spring season rank- ed 18th in the pre-season polls. Infortunately. Coach Mary Hig- gins squad didn ' t get much of a chance to demonstrate their talent this fall. Due to a new NCAA rule, a team can only play 60 games in a combined spring-fall schedule. As a result, the ladies slated only five games in the fall, with all five being in the Western Illinois Tournament. They made the most of their op- portunity. After losing a ten-inning. 2-1 decision to Northern Illinois in the opener, the team battled back to win four straight to win the tourna- ment, including a 1-0 no-hitter over Indiana State and a 4-0 shoutout of Missouri. Senior Traci F itsimones and sophomore Marina Watson head a list of eight returning veterans. F it- simones, last year ' s second baseman and co-captain, hit .288 and anchored the infield defensively. Watson, a pitcher, comes off an outstanding freshman year in which she won 19 games against 6 defeats, good for a paltry 1.30 ERA. She kept it up in the autumn, winning the aforementioned Missouri and In- diana State games. Senior Kandy Foust will team with Watson to provide a formidable one- two punch from the mound. The California native had a fruitful spr- ing, compiling a 15-9 record while posting a stellar 1.18 ERA. Sophomore pitcher Jody Schwartz (9-3, .297, 25 RBI), sophomore third baseman Mary Paganos (team- leading 31 RBI) and senior out- fielder Anita Rogers (team-leading .309) also came off banner years. A successful recruiting year also produced six freshman. Possible first-year starters include Ankeny, Iowa ' s Sue F rederick and Lisa Elwell, who will see action at third base and center field, respectively. Outfielders Ellen Castro and Marti Mitchell, first baseman April Trupp and catcher Stacie Miller complete the frosh roster. Creighton will need all that talent to contend in their new conference, the High Country Conference. Members New Mexico, New Mexico State, Utah, l tah State, and Col- orado State promise to give the Lady Jays ample competition all spring. 174 Top: Jody Schwartz awaits the pitch.

The contrast between the Creighton women ' s softball pro- firam of a decade ago and the cur- Ht program is more than just a Bicidence. Higgins, in her 10th fmr as head coach, played a major frole in turning the program into a consistent national power. I ' m tremendously loyal to Creighton University, said Hig- , who earned her bachelor of Sris in American Studies from Teighton m 1973 and two years later received a master ' s in physical education from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I ' m extreme- ly challenged and inspired by the dream of being able to have a na- tionally competitive softball team at a private Catholic university known for academics. Higgins said her zeal stems from the inability to partake in athletics during her high school and college years. She attended Omaha Marian High School where she was class president for three years. In high school we absolutely had zero opportunity for athletic par- ticipation on the varsity level, she said. When I came to Creighton, there was nothing for women either. I was constantly frustrated with that. In her senior year at Creighton, Higgins helped organize the first women ' s softball team. Higgins said the team was similar to an in- tramural team of today. However, it proved to be the beginning of a pro- gressively strong softball program. I MARY HIGGINS ] THE DEAN OF CREIGHTON SOFTBALL iiggms receivea scnoiar- ship support, but spreading $5,000 among three women ' s sports was a challenge in itself. We gave people $200 and asked them to play all three sports, Hig- gins, the women ' s athletic director since 1977, said. It seems miniscule now, but at the time the $5,000 was a major step. The scholarships increased each year, providing a base to gain top athletes. This year the Lady Jay softball team had over nine full scholarships which were split up among the players. Higgins said the financial support the program received in its early stages helped her recruiting in later years. We started recruiting ag- gressively in softball before most other programs, she said. I captialized on that. We built up considerable pride and success ear- ly in our program, she said. After five years as head coach, Higgins led her team to the Women ' s College World Series in Norman, Okla. The Lady Jays made three straight appearances at the WCWS. They tied for ninth in the country in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, Higgins helped bring the World Series to Omaha where it originated nearly 10 years earlier. Creighton, the host team, finished seventh in the country. I was dramatically influenced by the excitement of the tournament when I saw my first one, said Hig- gins, who serves as the chairwoman of the NCAA softball committee. We aggressively sought the bid to get it back to Omaha. Although Higgins has been suc- cessful on the Division I level for several years, she said she still hopes to reach some goals. The hardest part of my job is con- sistently instillmg into the hearts and minds of the current athletes what effort and motivation really means, she said. I ' d like them to see that they really can do better than they ever imagined. I want to do it right at Creighton University. CROSS-COUNTRY B Pat Porter Despite having a young team that suffered many nagging injuries, Coach Ed Hubbs guided his women ' s cross country squad to one of the most rewarding seasons of his seven-year tenure at Creighton. The team was buoyed by another strong season from junior Mandy Malburg. Once you get up to where she ' s running, every second is a sacrifice, Hubbs said, characteriz- ing her high level of performance. He did see room for improvement, however, concerning her mental toughness. She ' s much too talented to not be mentally talented also. But... she ' ll always be one of the best runners. Another veteran who came on strong was sophomore Sharon Sonheim. She knows how to run; she just doesn ' t know how to run fast yet, Hubbs said. He feels that with steady effort, she might be ready to take over the number two position on the team. Among the newcomers, Hubbs dubbed Michele Eich as the number one freshman. She ' ll be tough he said. She was not far behind Man- dy. Another newcomer, sophomore Suzie Tignor, was also impressive, despite running on bad knees all year. Tignor had lots of company among the walking wounded. This girls ' team probably had the most guts of any girls ' team I ' ve been associated with, Hubbs declared. They were beat up pretty bad in the last meet, and they were all in tremendous pain— and they ran as hard as they could. I was proud of this team. The coach singled out sophomore Katie Loecke as the toughest of a tough bunch. Katie ran all year with torn cartilage behind her ribs; everytime she breathed, there was a sharp pain. She showed the most guts becau se she was the most hurt. Youth and raw talent characteriz- ed the men ' s team this year. Despite the loss of an ace runner, Brian Boes to yet another injury a stress frac- ture in his right foot the team show- ed signs of maturing as the year went on. Ed Hubbs skippered this squad as well, and was especially impressed by the progress of his freshman and sophomore runners. With Boes out, sophomore John Naranja and Mark Kass were the elders of the team, and slipped into the leadership role comfortably. Hubbs appreciated their steady con- tributions. Naranja never missed a meet, hardly ever missed practice... he was somebody you could count on everyday, Hubbs said. Mark and John, they were the mainstays. Hubbs also expressed hope that Kass could come back strongly from a foot injury. Freshmen played a strong role on this team as well. Steve Schutte was the biggest standout, despite sitting out the first three weeks of the season with a badly sprained ankle that he suffered while running a triathlon during the last week of summer vacation. He never did reach (his) poten- tial, but toward the end he was our number two or three runner. I would expect him to be number one next year. He ' s as good as anyone we have. Tim Stockert and John O ' Rourke also had fine seasons. Stockert, a freshman, proved to be a pleasant surprise. This guy just went out ancf ran every day, was never hurt, and never missed a practice, Hubbs said. O ' Rourke, a sophomore, also came on strong and was among the top four runners by year ' s end. Other new faces who turned in fine efforts included junior Bill Kanellis and freshmen Chris Aup- perle and Joel Hamilton. All are ex- pected to contend for spots on varsi- ty next year.

Since only two players on this year ' s edition have experience, Coach Ed Hubbs has had to quickly develop his new players. Junior Mario Lopez-Belio and senior Jim Gatchet are the only returning members on this year ' s nine man squad. Lopez-Belio, last year ' s number three seed, was awarded this year ' s top spot, while Gatchet teams with newcomer Tom Berry to form the second-seeded doubles team. Besides Berry, first year players include senior Pat McNamara -Lopez-Belio ;s doubles partner and freshman Tim Sherman. The men got off to a rocky start, losing five of their first six team matches. Hubbs hopes that with a little more experience and con- fidence, the team will fare better on their spring-break trip to Florida. While the men may struggle this year, the Creighton women ' s tennis team had sunny skies on their horizon. Despite the graduation of last year ' s star Peg Connor - now an assistant coach -Coach Ed Hubbs ' ladies began the season looking like contenders, with six players return- ing from last year ' s 16th-ranked team. The ladies showed what they were capable of in defeating North Dakota 9-0 and Minnesota 7-2 in ear- ly matches this season. They later dropped nailbiters to Air Force and Colorado College, both by 5-4 margins. Junior Molly Murray once again spearheads a veteran team that is characterized by its depth. Sophomores Sharon Connor (Peg ' s sister), Lisa Bendixen and J wan Lai and freshman Kim Lamberti will be sure to give opponents plenty of grief on the courts. Pttn i 183 184 185 SWIMMING By Ken Evans Before the season began, first- year coach Bill Heavey had two team goals: he wanted his swim- mers to become proficient in their strokes, and he wanted to have a winning season. The team reached both of them. It was a challenging season for the rookie coach, considering the fact that the team did not even have a schedule when he took over the posi- tion. He was only able to schedule one home meet because most teams already had their schedules set. Another problem he encountered was practice time. The other teams usually practiced for ninety minutes in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, Heavey said. We could only practice an hour and a half a day, so we tried to make it quality time. It was indeed quality time, as pro- vin by some of the Jay ' s perfor- mances. Among the highlights was a second-place finish at the Budha In- vitational in Grinnell, Iowa. Another bright spot was at a meet in Rolla, Missouri. Out of 36 swims at that meet, the Jays had their best times of the season in 33 events. The men ' s swim team finished with five wins and four losses. I ' m extremely proud of this team because we had a good season and made a lot of progress, Heavey said. We had good leadership from Dave Kohll and John Ottersberg, and the team kind of went as Kohll went. Dave is probably the best swimmer to ever compete for Creighton. Kohll and Ottersberg were the men ' s captains this year, and the other seniors were Terrance Ramirez and Mike Murphy. The undergraduates included Trevor Mihalik, Kevin Lynch, Paul Peter- son, Paul Wolters, Chris Kenefick, Glenn Honda, Tom Judge, Andy Hig- gins, Bob Recker and Albert DiVit- torio. The women ' s team did not fare as well, but they were hampered by a lack of swimmers. Even though they ended up with no wins and four losses, they did as well as they could, Heavey said. Lisa Stenner did not swim after the first semester due to an illness, which left the team without one of its best swimmers. Michelle Martin was the women ' s captain this year. The other swim- mers were Caroline Nichols, Gayle Fennell, Stephanie Prinster, Jenni Baumgartner, Beth Gerennan and Barb Schulz. Heavey is encouraged about the swimming program and said it is headed in a dood direction. We have set a good foundation to con- tinue the program, Heavey said. Success will not happen overnight, but we are in the right track. C0X CREW mm By Sheri Kishaba A stronger commitment from Crew team members highlighted the rowing club ' s 1985-86 season. It was more serious this year, said Doug Dang, who was vice presi- dent during the first semester. They (the members) were training harder. Last year, the Crew team, official- ly called the Creighton University Rowing Association, was more of a club than a sports team. Dang said. Jackie Shutt, president, credits volunteer coach Dave Zapf with the change. Last year, Zapf worked with the team to develop a schedule for this year. He also rowed and prac- ticed with them. We ' re actually competitive this year against the bigger schools, Shutt said. We ' re right there with them. An increase in membership from 20 to 40 was another improvement, Shutt said, and most of them were freshmen. The new members did well this year, she said, with most of them earning medals in competi- tion. Dang said the seniors ' recruit- ment efforts were partly responsible for the increase. The team ' s season ran from August to November, and from April to May. During this time, the team met four to six days a week, practic- ing from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. on Carter Lake in Council Bluffs. These prac- tices included drills, working on technique, and conditioning. During the winter, Shutt said the team stayed in shape by doing aerobics and lifting weights four times a week. The highlight of the year was the Midwest Sprints in Madison, Wis., Shutt said. Held in April, the sprints included all the Midwest college teams, including Big 10 and Big 8 teams. It ' s like our Olympics, she said. Besides rowing, the members par- ticipated in fundraisers, such as raf- fles, working at the Parents ' Weekend Banquet and catering. Because boats cost about $8,000 and the team received funding only from the Student Board of Gover- nors as a club, the team would like to build a basis of financial support from the outside, said Craig Fredricksen, a member. The crew team began in 1978, Shutt said, when William Klumper, a student, formed it. This year ' s officers, in addition to Shutt and Dang, were: Brad Boganowski, vice president; Lisa Owens, secretary; and Iris Mat- sukado, treasurer. Dr. Theodore Burk was moderator. 189 CHEERLEADERS By Connie Yori Creighton students ' improved en- thusiasm at Bluejay games must be credited to the new era ushered in by the coming of coach Tony Barone. But the actions of the students must also be attributed to a group of students who, year after year, have continued to back the athletes. The 1985-86 cheerleaders played a role in the surprising Bluejays ' season. This year we had a return to the old Creighton style of basketball, said Greg Johnson, a four-year member of the cheerleading squad. I think we helped as much as we could to be rowdy and I think the crowd picked up on that. The cheerleaders stayed behind the team no matter who held the lead and no matter what the score. From my experience, the cheerleaders help out a lot in big games, senior captain Dave Merten said. It ' s easier to get everyone excited for DePaul, but the challenge comes when the team is down. We try to get the crowd to pick up what we do. Being a cheerleader is more than just verbalizing to the crowd. While their counterparts on the floor are working on their defense and shooting jump shots, the cheerleaders work to perfect mounts, pyramids and partner stunts. They spent an average of 12 hours each week in the gym during the two months prior to the season opener. We have to look at cheerleading as a two-fold activity, Johnson said. First, we support the team and are a part of the total entertain- ment package for the price of a ticket. Second, we do it for ourselves and try to be as good as we possibly can be. The squad consisted of 12 cheerleaders. They were: Merten, Kevin Croft, Milt Kop, Pat Spurgeon, Tom Searl, Johnson, Margaret Cunningham, Michelle Brockhaus, Julie Walker, Andrea Nigro, Elizabeth Yarns and Juli Laughlin. Top left, clockwise: Creighton ' s 1985-86 Cheerleading squad: Tom Searl, Pat Spurgeon, Greg Johnson, Kevin Croft, Dave Merten, Milt Kop and their respec- tive partners Andrea Nigro, Julie Laughlin, Shelley Brockhaus, Beth Yarns, Julie Walker and Margaret Cunn- ingham.

The band ' s director was Daryl Stehlik, a full-time music teacher in the Ralston School District and a member of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. T-shirts displaying a musical Billie Bluejay gave the band members uniformity. The shirts were designed by Arts freshman Eric Grelson. Arts freshman Michael Dougherty and Arts sophmore Rod Hurley helped silKscreen them. The changes in the band were not just cosmetic. We ' ve gotten bigger and stronger, Business senior Jack Belits said. He has been a member of the band since his freshman year. We ' ve got a new director, and because of that we ' re sounding bet- ter, he said. Stehlik named balanced in- strumentation as the band ' s main strength. He said they were for- tunate to have enough instruments to cover all the parts. He also complimented the band members for being good readers. Because they did not have to spend a lot of time on any one song they were able to cover a lot of different music, Stehlik said. The pep band gave students an op- portunity to use the musical skills developed during high school, Atrs sophmore Gene Klein said. While Creighton ' s band is an honest effort to promote instrumen- tal music on a college campus, said Arts freshman Elizabeth O ' Keefe, she would like to see it grow and im- prove. The band members have good attitudes and are talented, dedicated musicians--mostly academic people who want to get away and relax, according to O ' Keefe. Stehlik said, they (the band members) are in it because they really want to be. The band practiced Monday nights for one and a half hours. Students were eligible for two hours of academic credit. While part of the fine and performing art department ' s curriculum, the band also received support from the athletic department. Stehlik said through the help of Ed Hubbs, sports and activities coordinator, the band was able to purchase T-shirts and to sponsor the Second Annual Band Night. The Band Night was held on Jan. 18 at a home basketball game. Three area high schools combined their sounds with the Creighton band for a special half-time extravagan- za. The pep band played at the 18 home basketball games, where the crowds would hear such tunes as Popeye the Sailor Man, Theme from Hawaii 5-0 and, of course, the school fight song, The White and the Blue. Stehhk said the band played old standards and popular songs that were mostly uptempo, with an oc- casional ballad to change the style. Top left, clockwise: The pep hand, under the direction of Daryl Stehlik.

J vv. i . --- - -DftT. -; ' - ' : By Mark Stenner The Creighton intramural pro- gram involved 4,500 participants during the year. About 85 percent of those were men. During 1985-86, 31 sports were of- fered to Creighton students. Flag football drew the most players while coed volleyball, basketoall and soft- ball were among the more popular sports. Some of the special events that the intramural program sponsored were the all-star classic basketball tour- nament, the punt, pass and kick con- test, the hot-shot contest and inner- tube water basketball. Kate McRae, who is in her third year as a coordinator said, Since I ' ve been here, we ' ve added about two sports a year. She credited this to the rising popularity of the newer sports. McRae said that the competitive atmosphere of classes is transferred into intramurals. We definitely provide an outlet for aggression, she said. We provide a lot of sports for the size of school we have, McRae said. We are always open to suggestions. One thing that McRae wanted was to increase the information about sports clubs on campus. She sought to organize a system that would make it easier to contact these clubs. One problem that McRae noted was that of the women ' s involve- ment in intramurals. We ' re not hit- ting the women very well. The women ' s sports have cfropped and I don ' t know why, she said. McRae said that the number of participants at Creighton was com- parable to the number of par- ticipants at larger schools. She said that Creighton offered as many sports as other schools, but not as often because Creighton just doesn ' t have the facilities. A major difference between Creighton and other schools was that their tuition included intramural fees unlike Creighton, where students must pay an entry fee for many sports. McRae said she doesn ' t think that injuries are a problem in in- tramurals, even though any time there is physical activity there is a chance of injury. McRae is assisted by co- coordinator Bob Jackson. McRae said, Since Bob has come on, I think the officiating has improved. Jackson ' s specialty is in training of- ficials. The intramural officials were re- quired to attend at least one and sometimes two clinics before of- ficiating a game. % ■ -I Ping Pong Champions: A Competitive San Chua Recreational -Peter Meehan Flag Football Champions Undergrad AA -Phi Psi II Undergrad A -Maybe Not Pro AA -Waltzing Wallabies Pro A -Oral Fill Freshman All-University --Fib ' s Freshman League -Norsemen Recreational -Head Slaps All-Univeristy Champion -Dogs on the Run 198 199 INTRAMURALS Golf Champions: Pat Starr Mark Miller 5 X 5 Basketball Champions, Men: Lakers Softball Chamoions.

By responding to the needs and wants of the alumni, we hope to create strong bonds between the alumni and Creighton University, said Mike Leighton, the Director of Alumni Relations. There are over 32,000 alumni members of Creighton University and 56 different alumni clubs across the United States. Each of these clubs has special events and parties such as picnics, cultural events (like Creighton ' s campus came back to life during the summer of ' 85 while the alum- ni enjoyed the Alumni Weekend. trips to Europe or the Caribbean), and dinner-dances to get Creighton Alumni together and catch up on Creighton news and activities. The three people that ran the Alumni Relations Department this year were Mike Leighton, director; Larry Maxwell, associate director and Father Walter Halloran, assis- tant director. These three men lead in the plann- ing of events, visiting each of the alumni clubs at least once during the year, and informing the alumni of events and programs available to them. Included in the clubs they visited were: the largest alumni club in Denver which has over 1,000 members, three alumni clubs in the Los Angeles area alone, and some of the larger alumni clubs in Illinois, Hawaii and Iowa. No club has less than 100 members and approximate- ly one ' third of Creighton ' s alumni live in the greater Omaha area. Some of the events and programs that the Alumni Relations Depart- ment sponsored include: the Presi- dent ' s Annual Summer Picnic, Homecoming, the Thanksgiving Day Mass and organizing alumni reunion dinners for each of the colleges. Two other programs recently started were the Alumni Admissions pro- gram and the Creighton Family Con- nection program. The Alumni Admissions program is one in which Alumni members help to recruit new students to come to Creighton. The Connection Pro- gram is where Omaha alumni members can adopt a non-Omaha freshman and help them ajust to be- ing away from home. This year over 300 students had alumni-adopted parents. 209 ALUMNI RELATIONS Alumni Relations has been a ser- vice orientated program helping alumni keep in touch with what ' s happening at Creighton. It has ap- pealed to young and old alumnus and is designed to gather information from alumni about lost alumni members and to keep alumni involv- ed in the Creighton activities.

The program in- volved 140 college campuses across the U.S. and attemp- ted to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis. The program, co-sponsored by MTV, centered on a lip- synch contest called Rock-Alike. Students were invited to compete by imitating their favorite rock-star. The cam- pus winner would go on to regional competition, and the winner there, to nationals. The grand winner would receive an internship with MTV. The college campus rais- ing the most money would get a free concert held on cam- pus. Creighton ' s chairperson. Colleen Connolly, was recruited by the national office and began working on the project in September. Along with her board of directors, composed of students, Connolly planned and executed the project. The campaign got under way Feb. 1 with a SAMS party in Upper Becker. Recruitment director Carl Huber registered 13 students to compete. Gov. Bob Kerrey at- tended the event and presented a document proclaiming February as Bust MS month. Omaha Mayor Michael Boyle signed a similar document at a press conference. Feb. 14 marked the SAMS Heart of Rock ' n ' Roll event. Students donated money to their favorite contestants and listened to music by Gene Klosner, a local musician. A Valentine ' s Day dinner-for-two was raffled off. Each contestant was sponsored by a group or groups on campus. The groups raised money by selling buttons, throwing parties, and getting donations. For every dollar they raised, the contestant would receive a vote in the final Rock-Alike contest. Other groups contributed to the general total. On Feb. 20, Omaha band The Front played a benefit at Nuncio ' s Bar. Public Safety sponsored a basketball game between Creighton faculty and students on Feb. 26. Five of the con- testants performed for the pediatrics unit of the University of Nebraska Medical Center on Feb. 27. The final event was March 1 in Upper Brandeis Student Center. Director of Special Events Beth Harig said over 500 people attended. Contestants performing were: Chris- ty Lynch as Uncle Remus; Nicole Abbott as Pat Benatar; Marvin Webb as Stevie Wonder; Dave Usher as Brian Johnson of AC DC; Tim Gilloon as George Michael of WHAM; Anne Lininger as Boy George; Matt Lathrop as Mick Jagger; Geoff Spades as Tom Cruise; Mary Ronan as Dolly Parton; Mimi Sweere as Olivia Newton- John. Placing third in the contest was John Arruza as Cheech. In second place was Mike Stanton as Huey Lewis. The Rock-Alike winner was Dave Tarabocchia who im- itated Kenny Loggins. Tarabocchia was sponsored by Sigma Nu Fraternity and sang the title song from Footloose. He went on to represent Creighton in regional competition in Columbia, Mo. In all, SAMS raised over $8,000 for Multiple Sclerosis research. Chairperson Connolly commented on the en- thusiasm of the student body. A lot of people said the idea wouldn ' t work, but the students really came through. She said she hopes the program will continue at Creighton. ■ ' m ' MBi PH HriQ jptv j H Wm ' Mk H mm m w r Kii H ;js 214 MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Top left, clockwise: Dr. John Cernech, Vice President for Student Services listens to Gov.

None of them took place in the Student Board of Governors throughout the year. SBG president Joe Kelly oversaw a year of transition, one full of pro- grams and events, but lacking stu- dent involvement. After a spending a summer plann- ing, SBG executives were primed to launch new programs. The problem was the SBG and the student body didn ' t see eye-to-eye. A vandalism incident at Joslyn Art Museum after a SBG event in September jeopordized the universi- ty ' s relations with the museum. After a performance of the Second City comedy troupe, a water foun- tain was broken, a hand dryer was torn from a restroom wall, 10 auditorium seats were found broken and two people urinated in the hall. Problems at SBG-sponsored senior parties were also an issue. The largest expenditure the SBG made during the fall semester was $2,445 for an IBM personal com- puter. Vice President of Finance Todd Foje used the computer to develop a more efficient bookkeep- ing system. Sixty percent of the computer ' s cost was included in the 1986 budget. The remainder will be paid for in the next fiscal year. At the annual budget meeting in October, the board seemed to reach a happy medium, funding each organization within $200 of its allot- ted amount last year. Only two groups, the pom pon squad and the sailing club, did not receive SBG funding. The pom pon squad, which had not previously been funded, failed to have a representative present at a schedul- ed, required meeting. The sailing club was not able to provide evidence of accurate record keep- ing. In an effort to further satisfy club funding requests, the SBG con- sidered raising the student activity fee. Kelly created a task force, head- ed by Tim Kane, to work during the spring semester on this issue. Racial tension was created over a SBG party poster. In late November a poster for E.T.C., an all black band, drew complaints from several 220 SBG President Joe Kelly hands out information to student representatives.

Wording on the poster, which was created by SBG, was inverted in places. The issue sparked the exchange of several letters in the Creightonian ' s editorial page. Healthy relationships with the pro- fessional schools were maintained in 1985-86 as the schools received larger rebates because of their limited use of programs and atten- dance at events. Kelly also created a task force to strengthen the bond between the SBG and the professional schools. A committee for Alcohol Awareness Week was developed by SBG Vice President of Student Ser- vices Beverly Bailey. The plan, an ambitious one, was to sponsor a week of activities that would inform students about the consequences of drinking. A variety of activities in- cluding a film, round-table discus- sion and a non-alcoholic mixer failed to draw student interest. Bailey also introduced ' The Buddy System ' to CU ' s campus. Volunteer buddies were available on weekends to pick up students who had drunk too much and needed a ride home. After a five-week trial run, the pro- gram was dropped due to lack of use. Less than 10 students made use of the service. A spring break trip to South Padre Island topped SBG events during the spring semester. In February, the SBG sent a resolution to university officials urg- ing the construction of a student center. Plans for the center were an- nounced in the spring of 1985 and talk continued throughout the fall semester. Plans were put on hold un- til the completion of Campaign for Creighton, the university ' s five-year fund-raising drive. By late winter, the drive raised about $45 million of the $70 million goal. Absenteeism snowballed in the SBG in the spring semester. Several of the board ' s 33 representatives were dismissed for excessive unex- cused absences. The board ' s annual corporation meeting was canceled when only 13 members attended. The meeting, scheduled to revise the board ' s bylaws, requires the presence of 50 voting members of the student union. Kelly and the other board ex- ecutives developed several task forces this year and, hopefully, the effects will be felt next year. 221 SBG 222 J op left, clockwise : Iriterested students attend the SBG meeting sutnetiines lield in Wa sh Lecture Hull.

GREEKS By Mark Stenner The Greek system was boosted by the 364 new actives accepted into the seven fraternities and four sororities. Two accomplishments that aided the Greek system were the installa- tion of a new fraternity on campus, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and a local sorority going national. This was the former Alpha Sigma Gamma becoming Alpha Gamma Delta, which now has 46 members. The Greeks ' major contribution was the support they showed for the Students Against Multiple Sclerosis fund drive. The top three Roc k-a- Like contestants were sponsored by fraternities. Creighton now has four national sororities. The Alpha Gams assist in the national campaign to fight juvenile diabetes. They also helped in serving breakfast at the Francis House. The Delta Zeta sorority was the first sorority on campus to get a house to accommodate a large number of actives. The DZ ' s raised their membership to 135 with 32 women who pledged in the spring. The DZ ' s national philan- thropy project is to help the hearing impaired. On a local level, they visit the retired educators home regular- ly and do service projects for the Nebraska School for the Deaf. Gamma Phi Beta, just recognized nationally, now has 82 members. They pledged nine new members in the fall and 38 in the spring. The na- tional philanthropy project for the Gamma Phi ' s is a camp for special girls in British Columbia. Locally, they worked with the United Way and Childrens Hospital. Theta Phi Alpha is currently the largest sorority on campus with 140 women. It added 42 women in spring rush. The big service project was the adoption of a two-year-old Venezuelan boy. The sorority donated money each month for his living expenses. Creighton now has seven frater- nities on campus. One of the iicwer ones is Delta Chi with 49 members, 26 added this year. They helped with the SAMS project and have visited area nursing homes for their service projects. Delta Upsilon is the smallest fraternity on campus with 15 members. The DU ' s helped the Children ' s Community Theater and helped with the spring blood drive along with their annual teeter-a-thon to raise money for charity. GREEKS 1 he Sigma Nu fraternity currently has 88 members. This was helped by 15 new members in the fall and 20 in the spring. The Sigma Nu ' s spon- sored the SAMS Rock-a-Like contest winner, Dave Tarabocchia. They also sponsored the annual Keg Roll for the Nebraska Kidney Founda- tion. Other community service ac- tivities included sponsoring two families at Christmas time, the Big Brothers of America Program and assisting the Omaha Arts Council. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has 105 members. They added two m the fall and 42 new members in the spring. The SAE ' s hosted a basketball tour- nament for Special Olymics. They also sponsored an entry in the SAMS contest. Other activities included a Bowl-a-thon for Radio Talking Book. The newest fraternity on campus is Sigma Phi Epsilon. The Sig Ep ' s started with 26 members in their first rush. They worked at the Fran- cis House and helped raise money through the Leukemia drive. Phi Kappa Psi, the largest frater- nity on campus, added two members in the fall and 33 in the spring to total 125 men. Once again, the Phi Psi ' s infamous Kazoo Band performed at halftime during a men ' s basketball game. They also sponsored the third place contestant in the SAMS con- test, John Arruza. Another activity was the trick-or-treat trip they spon- sored for local children. The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity has 90 members. They added four in the fall and 41 in the spring. The Pikes sponsored the second place entry in the SAMS contest, Mike Stanton. They also sent 20 men to Appalachia for a week to help the poor in the area. Other activities include the Big Brothers of America program and assisting in the Easter Seals Telethon. The Greek system has been an in- tegral part of Creighton and the Omaha Community as is evident by the services provided. Left, clockwise: Tina Weber studies in the library.

These changes are reflections of the changing times, as well as of the different editors of the publication. Changes reflect the tastes of the various editors, Dr. David Haber- man, associate professor of jour- nalism and adviser of The Creighto- nian, said. Haberman, who is also chairman of the department, has been the paper ' s adviser since he started teaching at the University 31 years ago and has seen it go through many phases. One of the neat things about be- ing a student editor is that the stu- dent has the authority to make the changes, he said. The Creightonian, which was started in 1921 by a group of enter- prising students who wanted to earn a little spending money by selling advertisements for their paper, has always been a student-run weekly, he said. Senior Mike Larsen was editor for the 1985-86 school year. Before the first issue went to press, Larsen said that he did not plan to make any major style changes, although he did intend to upgrade the paper in some ar eas. He said he wanted to improve the [news] coverage and make it a newspaper for the campus, focusing more on the campus ' activities and students than on outside events. His goals were to put out the best college newspaper possible and to have the most fun possible doing it. Many of Larsen ' s editorials re- quested input and responses from readers and on the campus page, Larsen tried to cover as many minor events as possible. Every week he listed job openings. During the second half of the semester, he introduced the car- toons of Jim Jozefowicz and Michael O ' Brien. Larsen said he selected staff members on the basis of their abilities to do their jobs and to con- tribute to the flow of communication within the staff. Open communication lends itself to helping the overall production and flow of the publication, he said. As with any group effort, com- munication did not always flow smoothly, and at times stories and photographs were not in by deadline and staff involvement was lower than desired. However, Haberman said he was pleased with the semester. The staff worked together well, and the editor was very responsible.

KOCU, the campus radio station, has undergone a change in format making the station better than ever. Most of the changes were brought about by Donald Silcott, faculty ad- visor and Journalism instructor. By encouraging students to run the station in a professional manner, he is helping KOCU get away from its glorified jukebox image and become a real broadcast news sta- tion with real live broadcast reports, he said. Silcott believes it is difficult to train students from textbooks. What is needed is actual hands-on ex- perience. And, despite the second- hand equipment KOCU employs, students have been able to get an idea of how a professional station works. Still, better equipment is needed. Walter Cronkite may be here with theory, but the equipment is needed in order to produce, Silcott said. Although there is not enough money to buy new equipment, im- provements are being made in other areas. Station manager Tom Way makes logs listing the songs that disc jockeys are to play. News bits from the Associated Press news wire are read each hour and D.J. ' s are required to give sta- tion identification and weather up- dates. Besides news from AP, students cover events on campus and tape speeches. According to Silcott, KOCU had exclusive coverage of the Democratic dinner with Governor Robert Kerrey. Twenty radio sta- tions in the area relied on KOCU for their coverage of the event. In addition, students have been able to call in and talk to the D.J. live on the air. Prizes such as cookies or records were awarded to callers with the correct answer to trivia questions. Jobs for student employment were also broadcasted. News Director Erin Fitzgerald has played a big role in composing Public Service Announcements and calling about local stories. The future of KOCU looks bright. I think one thing we have is good administration. Mr. Silcott has been a gift to the station, Way said. Way said he would like to see KOCU expand or be hooked up to FM. Silcott said he would like Creighton to own its own broadcast station with network type program- ming. He would also like to see more participation on the part of the advertising and marketing clubs. This could be done on a commission basis, thus helping them too, he said. Silcott said he knows the changes will take a great deal of planning and money, but I think my ideas will work, he said. Some goals have been set for KOCU, but money is needed. One fundraiser was scheduled March 22. Managers from KLNG, a local radio station, agreed to let Creighton students use their station for a day. Students had to sell advertising for that day. All the money made went to KOCU. A feed from the Hitchcock Com- munications Arts building to the Satellite Earth Station will allow KOCU to be heard in the Palms and Towers. 232 Top left, clockwise: Station advisor Mr. Donald Silcott types up tests for his broadcasting students.

LOOK OUT Sixty Minutes ! Creighton University has Perspec- tive and Close-Up. Creighton Close-Up and Perspec- tive are half-hour television pro- grams written and produced by jour- nalism students fulfilling their in- ternship requirements. Creighton Close-Up has a magazine format featuring two or three stories each program. One program was aired on Cox Cable four times each week. Creighton Perspective is more of a serious-type show. Rather than featuring human interest stories, social events and activities, the focus was on one person. This pro- gram was aired by Cox Cable twice each week. Interns were under the direction of T.V. Coordinator Rod Fischer. Fischer taught the students the pro- ducing aspect of television to help them learn the nuts and bolts of television. This internship also gave the students practical experience in dig- ging up stories, writing them, and interviewing-things that are very difficult to learn in a classroom or read in a book. To make sure things were organiz- ed, a production meeting was held weekly. Topics were discussed and the angle in which the story would be approached was chosen. After the background work was done, appointments were scheduled, interviews were conducted and pic- tures were shot. After this process was complete, the fun part began editing. Editing is a tedious process that every journalism student must en- dure. This is necessary to get rid of all the bleeps and blunders that may occur while taping. Sometimes it can take hours to edit one half- hour program. Being an intern for Creighton Close-Up and Perspective is not only glamorous, but also very time- consuming. Despite that fact, it has been said that the rewards were well worth the efforts. Meeting and talking with people and the experiences have been great, Michelle Wernimont said. You go through so much resear- ching, interviewing and editing that leaves you with a sense of ac- complishment and achievement. c H E M I S T R Y C L U B CHEMISTRY CLUB Front row, left: president Lorrie Michele Eich, William Zuck, Jr., H.

Cunningham Jr. Dean, College of Arts and Sciences A liberal arts education is the cornerstone of life, Dr. Nancv Fogarty, associate dean of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences, said. In 1985-86 about 2,000 students were enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences in 40 to 50 dif lerent ma- jors in 18 different departments. Dr. Charles Stein, assisant to the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the school offers traditional majors and newer alter- natives. The traditional majors for pre-med students were biology and chemistry and the newest program was atmospheric science. Psychology was also a popular ma- jor. Stein said he thinks a liberal arts education is important because students learn not just about their major but how to keep learning which is important after graduation. A liberal arts education helps students learn to get along with other people, Stein said. Fogarty said liberal arts in- troduces students to academic disciplines of historic importance and teaches them how to think and communicate. Liberal arts are involved in about every career, Fogarty said, even in business because of the de- mand for communication skills. Stein said Creighton differs from other liberal arts colleges because of its great diversity and number of schools in relation to Creighton ' s small size. Most liberal arts colleges offer the same base, but as a Jesuit school, there ' s an emphasis on values and value consciousness, Fogarty said. Stein said the Jesuit tradition and the particular kind of mission and concern for moral values makes Creighton unique. About 190 instructors worked within the college in 1985-86, 150 fuU- time and 40 part-time. Stein said he thought the mstructors expressed a genuine concern for students. What I ' d like to have and hope my colleagues have is a keen abihty to listen to students. Creighton ' s College of Arts and Sciences attracted students from all over the United States and the world. Stein said he thinks Creighton ' s primary strength in terms of reputation is the profes- sional schools, but for transfer and visiting students it is the remarkable friendly concern that brings people to Creighton. Students are competitive among each other, but they care about other students and that carries through the faculty, administration and Jesuits, Stein said. Arts Sciences Gregory J. Abella, B.S.

Banville Dean, College of Business According to Dr. Guy Banville, dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration, Creighton business students were definitely able to com- pete with larger business schools in 1985-86. Banville said small doesn ' t have to be a disadvantage provided there ' s quality. He said Creighton students are prepared because they receive high quality teaching through a high quality faculty and curriculum. Enrollment in the business college in 1985-86 was about 800 undergraduate and 250 graduate students. Charma Murphy, coordinator of Undergraduate Programs, said the college is still small enough for per- sonal contact between the faculty and students. Banville said the business college could still afford to grow for another five years at the current growth rate of five percent annually. Murphy said enrollment in Creighton ' s business college might be increasing because of the trend toward post-secondary education and Creighton ' s programs. A college education is almost mandatory in today ' s world, Mur- phy said. Banville said Creighton ' s business school is now better known and more emphasis is being put on attracting good students which accounts for the increased enrollment. The College of Business Ad- ministration offered six majors. The newest was computer information systems. The goals of the business college in 1985-86 were to continue with high quality, excellent teaching, and enhancing faculty resources. About 38 full time and six part time instructors were employed in the business college. Banville said important qualities for the instruc- tors to have were a qualified degree, actual experience within their area of expertise and that they should be student oriented. 1985-86 was a stabilizing period for the business college in terms of pro- gram expansion. Approximately 48 percent of all course work for business students was in arts and sciences. Banville said this is important because it ' s our responsibility as a Jesuit institution to educate the total )erson, not just the professional. ie said arts and sciences provides breadth of understanding of one ' s environment. We work toward a well-rounded individual with outside knowledge. Someone who can be a person as well as a business-type asset. Mur- phy said.

Ryan Dean, School of Nursing By Tina Diedrichsen Creighton ' s Nursing School is made up of three separate programs all geared toward degrees in nurs- ing. The accelerated program is a one-year intensified schedule for people who hold baccalaureate degrees in other schools. Classes start in January and May and end one year later. Forty -six students were enrolled in the accelerated pro- gram in the 1985-86 school year. The second program is the degree completion program. This program is designed for nurses with associate degrees or no college credit. The program is for working nurses who want a degree. Thirty-three students went through the degree completion program in 1985. There is also the generic program, which is the basis of a four-year nu r- sing program. During the school year, 189 students were involved in this program. Forty-nine sophomores, 68 juniors and 72 seniors enrolled in the generic nurs- ing program. This year marked the opening of a nursing clinic at the New Cassel Gerontology Center in Omaha and a new faculty development program in gerontologic nursing. The school also joined efforts with the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton ' s School of Medicine to provide home visit follow-ups for geriatric assessment. The school is governed by the Nur- sing Senate, which sponsored several activities throughout the year. The board consists of 17 members, including representatives from the accelerated program and each class. Officers were: Lisa Mailliard, president; Jim Nunez, vice presi- dent; Karla Tomey, secretary, and Karla Marcotte, treasurer. The senate also had two SBG represen- tatives; Shari Wilwerding and Anne Snider. The Nursing Senate sponsored several activities, including fund raisers such as car washes and raf- fles. A food drive during Thanksgiv- ing and baskets of food aided low in- come families. They also sponsored a freshman welcome week event, a career day and sold nursing sweatshirts. The major events included an all- professional school Halloween party and the traditional Nursing Formal held at Peony Park in February. Nursing Ghada A. Ants, B.S.N. Lisa M. Arens, B.S.N. Nina M.

Nursing students find Nursing Career Day an informative place to discuss the nursing opportunities for graduates. i This is true for the entire campus, but especially in pharmacy, there is a feel- ing of community or family, said Dr. Mario Sylvestri, assistant Dean of the school of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. Aproxiamately 350 students were enrolled in the school of Pharmacy and Allied Health in 1985-86. Thirty pro- fessors taught in the pharmacy division and 11 taught in the allied health areas of respiratory therapy, nurse anesthesia, medical technology and occupational therapy. Sylvestri said that while a good number of pharmacy students were from Creighton, they did not make up the ma- jority. Many students came from all across the United States. According to Sylvestri, Creighton ' s Pharamcy school is unique in that it of- fered an excellent student-teacher ratio, dedicated faculty and special treatment for students. In turn, the school expected special qualities in its students. Students had to be academically qualified and be caring, giving individuals devoted to health care and the patient ' s benefit. The school of pharmacy offers a B.S. degree, which takes three years to com- plete after two years of pre-professional schooling. An excellerated program is also offered which enabled students to finish during the summers. A doctorate of pharmacy is offered as well. It takes five semesters to complete after receiv- ing a pharmacy B.S. degree. Sylvestri said a wide variety of employers come to campus each year to interview graduating students. The school of Pharmacy and Allied Health is always re-evaluating and con- stantly upgrading, Sylvestri said. Recently, revisions were made in the pharmacy program so students will be )etter educated and in the future there is the possibility for the addition of another allied health program.

Although the basic curriculum has remained the same the students generally felt an increased attitude of congruity, more communication and rapid ad- vancement in research areas. The acquisition of Saint Joseph Hospital by American Medical In- ternational in November 1984, has brought about many positive changes. The merger resulted in the formation of the Health Future Foundation which as of this time has already awarded over $2 million in grants to health science research and academic programs at Creighton. As a result, plans have begun for the development of a new Center for Diabetes Research and Treatment, a Cancer Center of excellence, a flow cytometry laboratory, a postdoctoral program of an- timicrobial chemotherapy, the development of a new approach to the non-invasive study of arterial wall elasticity, a study on growth hormone secretions in juvenile ar- thritis and others. Planning has also been under way for the establishment of a Center of Medical Ethics to be located at Creighton. The curriculum has been enlarged in this respect and the students are excited about the op- portunity for study in the area of medical ethics. The academic credentials of the 110 freshmen selected from among the 4,997 applicants this year were again excellent. The Creighton University Affiliated Hospitals Graduate Training Program con- tinued to grow with 176 residents receiving their post-graduate train- ing at Creighton during the first semester of 1985 86. There were 457 total students com- prising the four classes in the School of Medicine. Of these, 109 were women. All medical students belong to the Creighton Medical Student Government (CMSG). CMSG is a separate governing entity under the all University Student Board of Governors (SBG) . It is funded by the SBG, but is free to spend funds in any way and has its own constitution and by-laws. Under the leadership of Dr. O ' Brien, the Creighton School of Medicine has greatly advanced in scholarly and research orientated activities during the past year. Both the students and the faculty are con- fident in the operation, growth and continued excellence of the medical education programs. i MEDICINE Patricia W. Anderson, M.D. Douglas W.

Seventy-one seniors, 80 juniors, 82 sophomores and 76 freshmen struggled through the dental classes. Along with the regular routine of the dental school, a few new faces appeared, one of which was Dr. Wayne Barkmeier. Barkmeier filled the newly created position of assis- tant dean of research. He lead in- quiry in such areas as the develop- ment and evaluation of products and clinical research in geriatric care, and other complex dental situations. The dental school also received the Pew Grant from the Pew Memorial Fund, a private founda- tion. The grant totalled $92,000, to be used for future development. It was uncertain if any major changes would occur because of this, but it will prove to be a great financial boost to the school. Creighton dental students, together with faculty, provide an im- portant service to the community through the clinics, a service that is of unparrelleled instructional value to the students. The students ' ex- posure to clinical training at Creighton was more comprehensive and intensive than that offered at a majority of the nation ' s dental schools. The American Student Dental Association, made up entirely of students, sponsored several ac- tivities during the year. Beginning with the orientation program design- ed to introduce new students to the school, the group went on to sponsor the all-school picnic and the senior banquet. The dental wives also plan- ned several luncheons throughout the year. Brett Comstock and Bob Jestrab served as the executive officers of the association and travelled to Cin- cinnati in October to attend the na- tional convention. Dentistry _ Mark T. Alters, D.D.S.

About 32 percent of the students are women. The Student Bar Association had a busy year. As the official govern- ment of the Law School, members had many responsibilities. These in- cluded sponsoring a used book sale, working on the new student orienta- tion program, and organizing social activities for the law students such as the Pig Roast, the Golf Tourna- ment, the Brown Bagger Luncheon, and the Cotillion. They also organized several com- mittees. A new one this year was the Legal Clinic. The clinic helped students (including undergraduates) who had legal pro- blems, such as with a landlord. SBA also acted as a liaison between students and the Law School ad- ministration by taking comments and complaints to the administra- tion. This last function is an important one. Who better than the law students, who ' ve learned about rights and laws, would make noise when their rights had been taken away? We ' re the rule-rousers of Creighton; we don ' t let anyone take away our rights, said one law stu- dent, Here, it doesn ' t stop at ' what can be done ' ; we do what needs to be done to get what ' s ours. This year ' s SBA officers were: president, Teresa O ' Brien; vice president, Sandra Maass; secretary, Thomas Steele, and treasurer, John Westrick. All the of- ficers were juniors. Highlighting the year, what freshman doesn ' t remember his Law 125 and Property 126 classes? What junior doesn ' t remember his Law 335 Corporation Class? And what senior didn ' t find the road to graduation a long and hard one? Resumes? Internships? Long hours of hard studying? The Law Library- and the hours you spent there? Law Connie E. Anstey, J.D.

John Scott, S,J, Dennis Morris Students of Photojournalism SPECIAL CONTRIBUTORS Mike Larsen Juan Figueroa ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTORS The Creightonian Students of Editing 332 SPONSOR Student Board of Governors ADVISER Charles Zuegner I The 1986 Bluejay is the result of a lot of hard work by a few dedicated students. It seems that every year, the Blue- jay staff members have a mad rush about the week before the final deadline to finish. When I took this job as editor, I vowed that we would not put things off till the last minute, and then pull all nighters the last week to finish. As good as my intentions were, it didn ' t work out the way I planned. And although this year is not as rushed as previous years, we still worked nearly around the clock the final week. While most students headed for warmer weather over Spring Break, die-hard staff members stayed in Omaha to finish the monumental job they started. For this I am very grateful. I must thank Pat Porter, my assistant editor and right hand man. Pat is the sort of person who thrives on a challenge. He is so dedicated and organized that I depend- ed on him to keep me on my toes. Besides all of his duties as assistant editor, Pat was also sports editor, keeping on top of a year in sports that was filled with excitement and controversy. Another staff member who gave it her all was Patricia Barrios. While I was stuck in the darkroom printing because out photographer was down with the flu, Patricia took over my desk and was extremely co mpetent at layout, caption writing and anything else that required work. Her good-natured manner and dedication helped us through long days and nights. Joe Mastandrea, Barney Walsh and Mark Stenner were the backbone of the photography. Joe, the darkroom editor, is a perfectionist who can turned flawed negatives into beautiful prints. Barney, the photo editor, took charge of his staff with ease, even when doubling as Creightonian editor. Our ace photographer, Mark Stenner, took primari- ly sports pictures. His connections with Sports Information were invaluable. If laughter is the best medicine, Monica McFarland was everyone ' s favorite doctor. Her quick wit broke the tension at a time when it was desperately needed. Beth Harig and Tina Diedrichsen did a fantastic job as copy editors. Danielle Le Gault and Kitty Smith were not even on staff, but were recruited at the last moment to write a few stray stories for us. Thanks must also go to staff members Tim Siragusa, Mike Parra, Julie Kiokemeister, Brenda Cheray and Noel Landuyt for their dedication to the yearbook. Tim started out as a layout person and was switched to photographer when the need arose. Finally, a special thanks must go to our fearless advisor, Mr. Charles Zuegner. Mr. Z, who is on his 26th year as ad- visor, has by now seen it all. Even though he was in the hospital for a while, he still managed to see us through another year. This book would not be a reality without his strong leadership. I hope he can look at this book and feel pride at a job well done. -Catherine Stahl 1986 Bluejay Editor 368 WALSWOnTH PVaLlSHINC COMPANY MARCELJNE- UISSOL- ' Hl «4« 8 1
