' Story By Adrienne Martinez 18 People Westwood has always been a favorite hangout for UCLA students, and the recent surge in popularity of coffee houses gave new life to the area. Students under the drinking age were, of course, unable to visit some of the more popular spots like Maloneij ' s Bar. So, the coffee houses provided these students with an equally appealing alternative, by offering a variety of entertainment for the younger crowd. In the coffee houses of Westwood, students can view art exhibits of local talents, ranging from canvas painting to photography. The latest popular and experimental music were often piped into such places as the Gypsy Cafe on Broxton Avenue. And, for only the cost of the Coffee Bean ' s famous ice blended mocha, students socialized while enjoying a delightful evening of entertainment. The coffee houses were also notoriously popular studying places. Many establishments were geared toward student patronage, and had no problem with books covering their tables. Studious Bruins easily found a quiet spot near the back, and sipped espresso while reading about the French Revolution. Capt ' go was one coffee shop that many Bruins flocked to for such an environment. The decor and theme of coffee houses ranged from the sterile looking Coffee Bean, to the lush, cushioned interior of the Gypsy Cafe. Students with the desire for an almost tropical setting visited the Java Hut, which provided rattan chairs. Coffee itself may seem a bit expensive. Mia Castaiieda, a third-year Economics major, agreed, Students without a job still need coffee. I feel that coffee prices should come down. The average cost of a cup was $1, and the specialty coffees and the blends fared as high as $3. However, students who frequented the Westwood coffee houses were treated to an entire evening of socializing. Students were able to study in a comfortable, safe area, and enjoy exhibitions of local artistic and musical talent,... all for only the price of a cup of coffee. F A Coffee houses provide a relaxing environment from the hectic scene of campus life. The GI WI Cafe and Cnj fgo are popular getaways tor students to concentrate on their studies while enjoying some coffee. ft bfeia wiit . ' . ; : :::- Tani Nguyen Westwood Coffee Shops 19 The Farmers Market was definitely a favorite place for students to stock-up on food. Story By Rocel Ryan B 20 People Michelle Chang The freshman fifteen may only be a myth, yet it is something that most UCLA students would like to avoid, regardless of their year in school. Junk-food snacking in between meals is a definite no-no in the fast- paced world of dieting, yet it is almost a necessity for over- worked college students studying til the wee hours of the night. So how can students snack the healthy way? Students could replace junk-food with tasty carrot sticks or sliced pineapples, which is not a novel idea. It seems the main obstacle is not in the health consciousness of students, but in the availability of healthy foods. Luckily for UCLA students, the Farmer ' s Market was held religiously ever) ' Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. Convenient!) ' located in Westwood on the corner of Weyburn and Glendon, the Fanner ' s Market catered to an abundance of students ' needs. Besides displaying fruits and vegetables, vendors offered a host of goods, including eggs, grains, bread, flowers and hot food. Shoppers can even stroll through the aisles in the midst of live bands that performed at the market. The Fanner ' s Market was definitely a favorite place for students to stock-up on food. It ' s a great way to reduce one ' s chances of contracting the dreaded freshman fifteen, while keeping a tight budget reasonably in check. I love the variety and freshness of the fruits and vegetables at Farmer ' s Market, said Danielle Edourde, a second-year Biology major. The vendors are very personable. I ' m glad I ' m able to help out individuals instead of big monopolistic food chains. The weekly arrival of the Farmers Market is something that many students look forward to. A nice little shopping spree down to the Fanners Market offers students an avenue towards better eating habits as well as reasonable prices within a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. One of the treats sold at the Fanner ' s Market is the various hpes of specialty breads. These loaves of delicious breads are a nice change from the usual supermarket variety. Michelle Chang Farmer ' s Market 21 Nothing ' s better than a bar near a college, especially a gargantuan UCLA; Story by Rocel Ryan and Eric Mah From old-fashioned Westerns to the hit sitcom Cheers, the image of the bar has inundated American pop culture. For some, bars are associated with lone rangers, bloody- shoot outs, gruesome brawls, and Clint Eastwood. Although today ' s bars are a far cry from the saloons of the Old West, one attribute remains the same: a bar is a place to have fun, fun, fun! Nothing ' s better than a bar near a college, especially a gargantuan university like UCLA. For students, local bars were a convenience compared to driving out to downtown L.A. Bars in Westwood including Maloney ' s, Mainline Brewing Co., Monty ' s, and Poncho ' s brought in lucrative profits. Stratton ' s, once a popular hot spot, was temporarily closed down this year due to liquor-license infractions. The fact that I ' m meeting new people on a daily basis makes this bar a fun place to work, said Christy Fletcher, a bartender at Maloney ' s. A lot of people get drunk and obnoxious, especially on Thursday nights. But this adds to Maloney ' s fun and festive atmosphere. The proximity of Westwood bars to each other and the UCLA ' s campus conveniently allowed for bar hopping, a universal collegiate pasttime. The flashy neon lights, the deafening pulse of music, and the boisterous mobs of people attracted many students. Others were lured into the bars due to their devotion to sports. Fans can root for their teams in front of the TVs provided by their favorite bar. Most places also reserved a small space for dancing, which made meeting new people a little easier. Cheesy pick-up lines don ' t really bother me, said Vicki Korn, a third year Sociology major with a Business emphasis. The huge dance floor and restaurant at the Mainline Brewing Co. make up for this kind of ' small talk. ' I also love to hang-out with all my friends in Mainline ' s relaxed atmosphere. Bars are also ideal for celebrating birthdays especially for students turning twenty-one! However, for those not quite of age, bar-hopping can be a risk not worth the effort. While underage drinking is a concern of UCLA Police, Westwood bar owners share the same concern for underage drinking, but for slightly different reasons. _ Selling an alcoholic beverage to a student under the age of twenty- one could mean a $1000 fine for a merchant ' s first offense. On-going violations increase the level of the fine, and excessive violations can lead to a bar ' s loss of its liquor license. Students under twenty-one, themselves, face potential legal hardship by choosing to drink. There are monetary fines and almost inevitable community service penalties. Furthermore, California recently adopted the Zero Tolerance law. Those drivers under the age of twenty-one found to have blood alcohol levels exceeding .01% face a minimum penalty of a one year license suspension and a $100 fine. But whatever the reason legal-aged students give for frequenting Westwood bars, the underlying principle that they are a place to unwind, let loose, and go wild will forever hold tme. f 22 People Max Andrews A Vlio said you needed alcohol to have a good time? Partying hard does not always necessarily mean drinking hard. Sometimes it ' s just nice to spend time with friends and have good, clean fun. Friends could always find a good time at Maloney ' s. 4 The Mainline Brewery, Co. is not only a bar but also a restaurant. Friendly bartenders will always make everyone feel welcomed. Max Andrews Westwood Bars 23 I hope [the students] like it and just get some good vibes from the music. Story by Eric Mah Vo Bruins from both North Campus and South Campus have heard the call of Westwood Plaza noontime Bands. In fact, many of these up-and- coming artists visit UCLA nearly six or seven times an academic quarter! And believe it or not, the noontime band tradition is a haven for fans in search of the true alternative to t he cliche corporate rock bands. So where did all these artists come from? Who decided who plays? Questions like these were answered in Kerckoff Hall. In fact, the Campus Events Commission, a branch of the Undergraduate Student Association, was primarily responsible for the organization and selection of the noontime bands. At the helm of the noontime bands organization was Joe Liu, fourth year History and Communication Studies major. As director, Liu oversaw the selection of bands and logistical planning for the visiting music artists. But ultimately, the groups that play, whether well known or not, played at UCLA solely for one purpose: they came to be heard. In fact, Westwood Plaza has been visited by groups with diverse playing styles from reggae and rap to R B. Deciding who performs was not a simple process. In actuality, what Bruins watched in Westwood Plaza was the end product of a relatively tedious and often arduous process. For bands trying to make it big, it all started with the demo tape. The Concert Band committee heard an average of six or seven demos a week. Liu headed this process, having to obtain both student government and student operations ' approval, especially for funding. As soon as the plaza was reserved and the band booked, publicity of the event began. Finally, the band that submitted their chosen demo weeks ago are confirmed to play. On the day of the gig, Liu or another CEC staff member prepared the plaza for the performance. Students often did not realize what they saw was the end result of much work and effort that occur behind the scenes. I hope [the students] like it and just get some good vibes from the music, said Liu. Westwood bands brought variety into students ' daily lives. The Campus Events Commission believed the noontime program was worth their time and effort. Next time you hear a noontime band playing, remember the experience, and recall all the hard work it took to get them into the Plaza, if A Souls of Miachicf. one ol many bands which visited Wostwood pla a over the year, brought a fresh sl l ol music 1 onto the Bruin campus. 24 People jvlkfodi bn bo Westwood Bands 25 ' I hope [the students] like it and just get some good vibes from UCLA, renowned as one of the more diverse UC campuses, has developed an interesting network of support and retention for various ethnic groups. While providing tutoring and group study for students, as well as culturally enriching and reaffirming activities, these groups strive to create a strong sense of support on campus. The primary focus of the various groups including, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana y Chicano de Aztlan, African Student Union, American Indian Student Union, Asian Pacific Coalition, is to encourage education and tolerance of ethnic groups. Although the groups often worked together on complex tiu rn the music. Story by Adrienne Martinez issues such as Affirmative Action, each had a fundamentally different way of spreading information about their culture. They often attempted to organize activities that displayed their heritage to the UCLA and Westwood communities. It was important, especially for first generation college students, to feel they have access to people who have been through the UC system so as to aid in college adjustment, and further encourage participation in community activities. Many of the main ethnic groups on campus hold special graduation ceremonies with famous keynote speakers and cultural entertainment in the form of dancers or ethnic musicians. A majority also sponsored culture nights, such as ASU ' s Pan-African Night, and the APC ' s Lunar New Year festivities. While focusing on educating the UCLA community, many clubs offerred smaller programs that involved hands-on work with traditional textiles and dances. AISA sponsored many such activities, and for a small fee, any student may participate in these programs which have included Dream Catcher workshops. Students in this program were taught folktales and to make ornaments of cultural significance. Many such activities that familiarized students with their heritage were held throughout the year. AISA annually hosted a Pow-Wow or coming together of many tribes to celebrate alliance and peace. Vendors were flown in from reservations around the country, and students were encouraged to participate in the dance competitions, and sample traditional foods. Aside from general education and retention of students, these clubs try to ensure enjoyment for the student body. Many hold dances and group discussions that help students meet others with similar backgrounds and interests. Various UCLA professors have been known to offer their homes for the discussions, and were fully supportive, in both counselor capacity and as cultural reference. These groups contribute greatly to maintaining a peaceful and supportive campus environment that is not only conducive to education, but to the cultural future and awareness of many students.

Story By Anita Chu - Michelle Chani; Far from the stressful atmosphere that is all too apparent on campus is a place for those who seek a little rest and relaxation. Just beyond the residence halls and Sunset Village lies the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center (SCRC). This 10-acre, park-like facility is an oasis for students stranded in a desert of exams, homework, and dorm life. Sunset Recreation Center is largely made up of grass areas which serve as the perfect picnic places for clubs and groups. Especially during those hot and sunny Southern California days, students and registration card holders are seen sunbathing, playing a game of volleyball or football, or tossing around a frisbee. Along with these grassy fields is an outdoor amphitheater which is an excellent spot for larger groups to come together. The picnic areas are popular for on-campus clubs to hold their beginning-of-the-year meetings and barbeques. Also featured at Sunset Recreation Center is a 50-meter pool with diving facilities and a 25-yard family pool. The 50- meter pool holds practices for the swim and diving teams as well as water polo tournaments. Some students utilize thes e pools as a part of their daily exercise regimen. Second year Math student Karla Saukkola explained, The Wooden Center is usually so crowded. So instead of going there, I A Volleyball players.

I enjoy working out in the pool because there aren ' t too many people and I find it really relaxing. As a part of the Cultural Affairs, Sunset Recreation Center was a host to various Recreation Quarterly classes. Acting and improvisation, figure drawing, guitar, calligraphy, and yoga classes are held in their numerous meeting rooms and lounges. Jim M alloy, SCRC ' s Assistant Manager of Aquatics, stressed the importance of bringing cultural, art, and music programs to Sunset Recreation ' s facility. In the future we want to have some sort of battle of the bands held at the amphitheater, he said. When the dryness of school and work is too much to bear, Sunset Canyon Recreation Center is the ideal place to exercise, unwind, and even do a little soul searching. 4 A winded Rogelio Chacon rests on a volleyball, after enjoying just one of the many sports played at the Sunset Recreation Center.

On the UCLA campus, it ' s an epidemic sweeping the student body. But, historically, the most popular of volunteer spots has been at the UCLA Medical Center. Literally hundreds of students of all backgrounds can be found volunteering their time to help the medical community. And UCLA ' s student volunteer service is one of the most respected, reknown and largest programs of its kind in the nation. Each volunteer has his own reasons for volunteering. For many, the hospital represents an opportunity to get a preview for a potential career in the medical field. Yet, there are others who simply and selflessly donate their time out of sheer good will for their fellow man. Though most volunteers came from a life science background in their studies, the volunteer service still captured a wide range of students, from Biology to Communications majors. And the variety of opportunities at the hospital were likewise as varied. The most popular areas volunteers vied for included the Emergency Room, Pediatrics, General Surgery, and Physical Therapy. These areas offerred students with a first-hand opportunity to see what the medical field has to offer. Nahla Farghalli, a fourth year pre-medical student interested in pediatrician quipped, Ever since I can remember, I have loved spending time with children, playing with them... and sometimes even becoming their ' human Kleenexes. ' For pre-medical students like Farghalli, the hospital offers an excellent opportunity to sample the different areas available, before actually applying to competitive medical school. In a time where medical school applicants were at an all time high, and health-care faced drastic changes on a nationwide level, examining the available fields of medicine was a practical reason for volunteering. Even the popularity of television dramas like E.R. and Chicago Hope, which glamorized the medical field, may have, in fact, increased medical school applicant numbers. However, undergraduate students must be wary of the pros and cons of a career in medicine. One must ask himself questions like, Why do I really want to be a doctor? and Do I want to be $200,000 in debt before I actually start working? The answers to these can only be answered by each individual for himself. But, volunteering in a hospital may help a student reach that right answer. Farghalli agreed, Thanks to volunteering at the UCLA pediatric ward, I have discovered... that I am emotionally and mentally capable of [tending to] sick children. Many other students shared Farghalli ' s aspirations for medical school. Another popular department in the Medical Center was the Emergency Room. The popularity was so high, in fact, students were required to show their commitment to the hospital by first volunteering eighty hours in patient transport before even stepping foot into the emergency room as a volunteer. This was a requirement because not only do volunteers need to show their commitment and responsibilities before working in such a demanding area, they must also show that they know the hospital well. The Patient Escort Service gave volunteers a chance to not only work with patients and nurses and doctors, they also got to discover the hospital in its entirety. The UCLA Medical Center was a massively large and sometimes intimidating place to be in. By having volunteers work in Patient Escort for eighty hours, volunteers not only learned their way around the hospital but also obtained an appreciation and understanding of what patients go through when they visit such a Director Susan Falldren and volunteer Quail Doan prepare aetivities tor the pediatric patients. In tin- Child Development Center, children take part in a variety of activities including arts and crafts. reading, and playing doc-tor. Story by Eric Mah and Beth Zelkovitz Adrienne Martinez Volunteers 31 large hospital. Luckily for these patients, UCLA students in the volunteer program were there to help them feel comfortable and less intimidated. But not all volunteers went through the escort service to seek the E.R. and pediatrics departments. In fact, many volunteers did clerical duties for administrative offices. Still others volunteered in the gift shop. And even less known volunteer opportunities, like the pathology department, had available space for new volunteers. Not all Medical Center volunteers were doctor-bound. Students from all majors were found wearing the infamous pastel blue volunteer uniforms. Political Science, Philosophy, and Economics majors, and much more can be seen roaming the complicated labyrinth of the medical center hallways. But instead of worrying about career opportunities, these volunteers worked Adrienne Martini ' without secondary reasons. Rather, these volunteers simply saw the medical center as a place where good people were needed to help the ill. They saw themselves as the helpers, and that, in itself, was reason enough to donate ones time. The volunteer service at UCLA is special in that respect because it attracted not only life science majors, but also all others who had a wish and good heart to help others. While volunteers were asked for a minimum of sixteen hours of volunteer commitment per month, those students who could not offer that much time helped in other ways. The simplest and most popular alternative to donating ones time was donating ones blood. In the newest buildings of the Medical Center, blood donations were made in the Medical Plaza. Student donors were appreciated for their potentially life-saving blood donation. Again, many who 32 -People their potentially life-saving blood donation. Again, many who donate blood volunteer their service selflessly and whole-heartedly. And by that, they will always remain special. So, no matter what a student ' s background, or availability, volunteering your time (or even blood) is convenient, easy to do, and most of all, appreciated. Take advantage of these opportunities and help the UCLA community. Those who do and have are a special group - for they are the examples, the models, and the true leaders for all of us. f A Joe Hardman, third year, Physical Science major, quickly transports the E.K.G. machine to an important hospital locale.

Measuring 1800 feet in length, it streches across campus repeating the endless routine of guiding Bruins into the heart of UCLA. As the day progressed the amount of Birkenstocks, Doc Martens ' , Nikes, platforms, bicycle wheels, and roller blades grew. Together they briskly walked, swaggled, and rolled along the multi-colored bricks of Bruin Walk. By mid-day students were hounded with solicit ers and drowned in flyers all representing various organizations. Bruin Walk is a resource center, said Karen Saysay, a first year Math major. You can always find out about campus organizations here. Aside from its role as an info-center, Bruin Walk is walked upon by many people as colorful as the bricks that line it. The ' Walk ' gives a glimpse of what the real world would seem like, not only through its diversity, but also in how everyone interacts with one another, hastily eating, last minute cramming, and walking confidently, said Gabriel Magana Jr. first year Pre-Psychology major. Even-one ' s trying to find their own niche. Historically, before undergoing a major renovation for the 1984 Olympics, Bruin Walk existed as a tarred path curving into our campus. During the early fifties, students from fraternities and the co-op houses used it as a route into campus. Today, Bruin Walk is more than a route. Students have used it as a sight for demonstrations, celebrations, and daily hang-outs . Many have remarked how the Walk constantly challenges students to reach the top of the hill. As for tomorrow? Imagine escalators leading students from their dorms to class, and televised class discussion pods for those who wish to sun bathe along the Walk . Or is that too extreme? Main organizations on campus use Bruin Walk to solicit volunteers to take on their good cause. As the main pathway to classes, organizations can reach the majority of the student body as they walk to class. Measuring 1800 feet in length, it stretches across campus repeating the endless routine of guiding Bruins into the heart of UCLA. (Faces Story By Michelle Banta Bruin Walk 35 For such a young group, Awaken has already accumulated an impressive collection of prestigious awards and achievements. ' Story by Rocel Ryan Ma Andrew: Music has the power to speak to and for a generation. The youth of today has often been branded as a callous, whimsical group comprising what is commonly known as Generation X. Different musical styles of the 1990s, ranging from the boisterous clamor of grunge rock to the soothing, mellow groove of hip hop and R B, have contributed to this nonchalant perception. A handful of those twenty-something Generation Xers have helped to dispel some of that negative connotation by contributing a generous portion of their time and effort to Awaken A Cappella, the first and only student-run a cappella group at UCLA. Awaken was started by four students with an intense love for singing in February of 1993, as a non-profit organization designed to expose UCLA to diverse musical styles. Awaken performed a variety of musical genres including, spiritual, jazz, African songs, folk, and contemporary songs. Awaken is not only a way of maintaining my voice, said Yvette Flores, a fo urth- year Physiological Science major, and Awakens historian and treasurer. The diversity in members ' majors also reflect the diverse musical styles we perform. There ' s only one real voice major in the entire group. This year, a total of eighteen members were part of Awaken. Each participant was carefully hand-picked through two equally rigorous auditions for tenors, bass, altos or sopranos. Altogether, 90 students auditioned this year, and only ten new students obtained membership. For such a young group, Awaken has already accumulated an impressive collection of prestigious awards and achievements. Awaken has performed at UCLA ' s Spring Sing (in 1992-1993, they won best a cappella group), Mardi Gras, World Fest, the L.A Farmer ' s Market, San Francisco ' s Pier 39, Stanford University, and Anahiem Stadium where the group sang our National Anthem. Last year, Awaken completed an East Coast tour sponsored by the Princeton Review. The group performed, along with other student groups, at Yale, Princeton, and Columbia universities, as well as in hospitals, busy shopping areas, and high schools. Awaken also released a CD entitled Awaken Synergy, a collection of songs ranging from jazz to folk. The CD was sold by members of the group themselves for a reasonable ten dollars. Awaken is a group of talented young Bruins dedicated to spreading the diversity of music. By helping to enrich the communities beyond UCLA, and the college experience of fellow students, members exhibited a gentle passion for the cultural enhancement of humanity,. ..that invalidated the apathetic myth of Generation X.

' Story By Michelle Banta 38 People 90 s Max Andrews Like the cement holding the sunken footprints of Mann Chinese Theatre, the thirty-one table tops of Kerckhoff Coffee House has displayed a rough layer of murmured stardom for the carver since its opening in 1975. Such slogans as: Make love not children I miss Cal Worthington and his dog Spot created only an inch ' s scratch in the yards of wood, now lost under a rugged terrain of philosophical witty words. Together, the deep impressions made from a nail ' s rusty tip or a ball point pen formed a microcosm of UCLA memories that identified past and present Bruins. At Kerckhoff Coffee House, students found their own hall of fame. The tables served as a means of expression, through aliases or special a.k.as. Who could ever guess the students behind A.k.a Garfield Opie or The Moonbeam Medics of 1994 ? I always thought it was really cool about everyone leaving their own mark, said Leri Smith, fourth year student majoring in African American Studies. Its different than graffitti, because some of the messages are meaningful. Romance was a common theme along tables. Inevitably, Coffee sippers regarded the pressed imprint of hearts around couplet names. Lyn and Anthony para siempre, Chris and Samantha, Denise and Mark, and countless others were incessently etched across the tables. Sometimes I wonder if these people are still together or what ever became of them, said Pamela Badillo Lasala, a first year Undeclared student. From romance stemmed other ideas, thoughts and advice to any Bruin willing to read them. Valentines ' Day Sucks, pressed in green ink, expressed a past individual ' s frustration. Year of the Woman voiced feminine pride, and Learn, Know, Believe, Teach counseled coffee sipper onlookers. Foreign phrases from Chinese characters, to French, German, and Persian uttered their language across the tables and boasted of a colorful UCLA community. One person carved II n ' y a pas que 1 ' esprit dans la monde. Though not star atheletes, great scientists, theatrical stars, or even Suma Cum Laude students, those who left their mark on the Kerckhoff Coffe House tables comprised of the Philosopher, the Lover, the Woman, the Man, the Gay, the Lesbian, from all over all Bruins of the past and present. In a sence, there ' s history at these tables. So many people have been here, said Patricia Pimentel, a first year French major as she stared across Kerckhoff Coffee House. If - ' . . : 4 The unique aspect of the carvings left on the tables in the Kerckoff Coffee House is that many date back for decades. Reading some of the messages left on these tables tells a lot of the history of UCLA, a different perspective than the history found in the books. During coffee breaks at Kerckoff, students often noticed the unique carvings covering the tables. The sayings and pictures were entertaining for those frustrated after a long day of classes. T Kerckoff Coffee House was a popular place to take study breaks between classes. Even with the numerous distractions and noise, the hang out was always crowded with students.

Story by Adrienne Martinez Nick Alters Students looking to supplement their finances towards - college, and those searching for extra spending-cash found a great opportunity in the jobs available through ASUCLA. The jobs, which varied from food sendees to working for student media, not only kept students busy, but provided a safe and easy alternative to working in the city. ASUCLA is kind to Bruins, and this year management worked with students ' schedules to reaffirm that above all else, students were here at UCLA to learn. Many were drawn by this understanding and flexibility, as well as the convenience of location. What could be easier than a ten minute or less walk to work? I think that it was great that my job at the Treehouse is right in the middle of everything happening on campus, said Jon Livingston, a first year Undeclared student. Because of this close proximity to the dorms and most apartments, students did not need to worry about transportation and parking, which can be very expensive on campus. The uniforms, which were issued to those working in the food service areas, saved students the expense of buying work clothes. ASUCLA jobs also provided inspired and talented students with an arena for expression. UCLA offered talented students jobs that fit their personal abilities, such as writing, drawing, and skilled programming. In these jobs, students gained valuable training, resources and personal references. Being a part of Student Media has given me the opportunity to express my ideas. By designing layouts, choosing photographs, and writing captions, I can explore my creative side, said Page Kishiyama, a first year Communication Studies major. By providing reasonably paid jobs with flexible schedules, ASUCLA made campus a convenient and financially viable option for students in need of work.

It was during that time that Barbee found his niche within the UCLA community. The program here was really good, proclaimed Barbee enthusiastically. As an undergraduate, I never thought that I ' d actually complete my doctorate. UCLA helped me towards that. Barbee is a familiar face in the administrative offices of the UCLA campus. For eight years, Barbee worked under the Dean of 42 People Students simultaneously dealing with disciplinary cases as the Inter Fraternity Council Advisor. I went to see Bruce Barbee because I had problems with my classes, said third year Physiological Science major Tomer Grimberg. He sat down with me patiently and clearly explained to me what my options were and what my best move would be. Together, we resolved the problems and I am doing much better now. In addition, Barbee worked as Resident Director, and continued his involvement with the Freshman Transfer Orientation Program. There he greeted newcomers with bouquets of advice to help guide them in their stay at UCLA. Things have changed since his days at the orientation office. Now everything has all expanded into many areas within the College of Letters and Science. said Barbee. Still, Barbee has no intention of leaving UCLA. Academics will always be his concern.

Regents ' decision to end affirmative action e e t s t 10:00am on October 12th, Westwood Plaza filled with students ready to rally support for Affirmative Action programs at UCLA. There was a nervous undercurrent of excitement as picket signs and stickers were passed around, and students waited for a clear leader to emerge. When supporters, toting signs that proclaimed such things as, Education is a right, and, The Regents are out of touch, were adequately riled, York Chang, Undergraduate Student Association Council President, and one of the more vocal supporters of Affirmative Action programs at UCLA, took the stage. He began to cite the percentages of various non-Caucasian student groups, and the average decreases in these percentages due primarily to the elimination of Affirmative Action programs in late July 1995. The activities continued with a cultural drum performance by the Han Ool Lim, a Pacific Islander group in support of the rally. The entertainers received a roar of approval from clapping students, sporting dime-store whistles and home-made noise- makers. Many groups were present, representing both on and off campus interests, including UCLA Law students, SAGE, Justice For Janitors and Local Unions, as well as the many ethnically based student groups, such as Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano y Chicana de Atzlan (MEChA,) African Student Union (ASU) and the Asian Pacific Coalition (APC). ,,. i Speakers from these student groups briefly took the ! . stage and recounted personal experiences, and even Adrienne b ,. , , _ . _ . . . . predicted the future rate or the representation ot their various ethnic communities on campus.

When the crowd reached the corner of Westwood and Wilshire, intending to block-off the intersection and detain traffic, it was met by the Los Angeles Police Department in full riot gear. Supporters circled the crosswalk area and a pre- arranged group entered the middle of the intersection and sat down in protest. The LAPD had closed off Wilshire a few blocks in each direction from the demonstration, and now fifteen horse-mounted officers drove the crowd out of the crosswalk and up onto the curbs. The circle of passive supporters in the middle of the street refused to move, and were arrested one-by-one.

Andre Agassi Michelle Chang ocation scouts search furiously to find the perfect setting for the filming of a movie. Even in Hollywood, where the streets teem with sound stages and studios, the need for the ideal spot is sometimes essential to selling a movie. When film and television companies want a campus-like environment for a shoot, UCLA is often the prime candidate. Bruins who have seen the John Singleton movie, Higher Learning, must recognize that the fictitious campus of Columbus University is actually UCLA. Shots of the residence halls and suites, north campus, and Drake Stadium are featured throughout the movie. There is a certain excitement and pride students feel when they see their school on the big screen. When I see UCLA on the screen, it ' s larger than life. It doesn ' t look like the same campus that I walk through everyday, said Candice Seneriches, a second-year Business-Economics major. The process for allowing a studio to film on campus is a tedious one. It can take twelve months from the initial request for use of a building to the actual filming. As part of Business Enterprises, the Event Management and Film Locations is the liaison between UCLA and UCLA buildings are diverse enough to suit the purpose of a wide range of movies. the film or television company. Event Management and Film Locations makes sure everything runs smoothly during the project by working with Parking Services, on- campus police, and various other service units at UCLA. James Blaine, a Senior Public Events Manager, said they try to schedule times that are convenient for students and the general population of UCLA. Christmas and summer break are good times to film because there are a lot less people on campus, said Blaine. In general, students rarely complain when there are film equipment and trailers scattered around campus. This minor inconvenience is compensated by the chance to catch a glimpse of a major star. Event Management and Film Locations is an effective intermediary between the film studios and UCLA. When a request to use a facility for a prospective film is made, Event Management must check with the administration of the building to gain approval and to avoid scheduling conflicts. UCLA buildings are architecturally diverse enough to suit the purpose of a wide range of movies. Film studios often ask to use our campus as an Ivy League university, since it is much cheaper to film in Southern California than the east coast. Yet sometimes certain structures are portrayed as something they are not. An example of this is in the movie Threesome, where some found it disconcerting to see Haines Hall converted into a college dormitory. There are even times when studios want certain structures to function as facades for government buildings! Now that the scaffolding of Royce Hall and Powell Library have disappeared, our campus will seem more attractive to production companies. Perhaps even the superficial world of Hollywood can finally appreciate the true majesty of these two structures. Any student at UCLA will acknowledge the beauty of the campus, but it takes a bit more to convince Hollywood. It says a lot when the world of glamour and glitz can recognize the splendor of our campus. ?

Anderson Graduate School of Management (AGSM) was opened this year. The previous AGSM building next to Luvalle Commons was renamed the Public Policy building to make way for this lastest edition to UCLA. The new AGSM was the culmination of several years of careful planning and building. Many Bruins focused much of their attention and excitement on AGSM s structure and appearance. The glassy-brick facade of AGSM gave students a business-like feel, according to second year MBA student Courtney Rosen-Hoehle. Inside the buildings, students were surrounded with ample luxuries, including plush carpeting, glass elevators, and new furniture. Such comforts were rare or could not be found in any of UCLA ' s other buildings. The Anderson School is more impressive than most of the other buildings, and it has a more professional ' look ' to it, remarked Claudine Macklin, a second year student in the M.B.A. program. The classrooms themselves were air-conditioned, and often housed computers to aid in lecture presentations. Many of the lecture halls had the students ' seats arranged in a semi-circular shape on several tiers. This design of classrooms was greatly appreciated by many of the students who attended class in the AGSM building.

Streets Nick Ake rom high school to college, Homecoming has been a lasting tradition. This year at UCLA, Homecoming was more than just tradition. Homecoming, sponsored by the Student Alumni Association (SAA), was a gala event that featured a spectacular rally and spirited parade. The 63rd annual Homecoming parade kicked-off the festivities this year. Any organization, whether affiliated with UCLA or not, was allowed to participate. The floats were made of chicken-wire, and colored tissue paper resting on rented flatbed trucks. Awards were given based on the criteria of creativity, use of animation, materials, theme (this year it was Living in a Bruin World ), and school spirit. There were a variety of floats, including the one by the Tim McGhee Equestrian Unit (a non-UCLA group). Their float consisted of members on horseback dressed in Braveheart garb, brandishing swords with burnt Cal Bears at the tips. After all the hoopla, the Grand Marshal ' s trophy for Best Float was finally presented to Sigma Pi and Kappa Delta, whose float was a complex network of wire and animation. I wasn ' t looking for anything specific to get out of Homecoming, said Tiffany O ' Rourke, a fourth year English and Education major, and this year ' s Homecoming Parade Director. But what I did gain was friendship, school spirit, self-confidence, and the knowledge that I can do anything I set my mind to. Following the Homecoming parade was the Homecoming rally. Besides the formality of introducing the fabulously regal Homecoming court, the rally featured a celebrity MC, Chris Hardwick, who was a former UCLA student and host of MTV ' s popular game show Singled Out. Several notable acts also performed at the rally, including Ja ' a which placed first in the a cappella category at Spring Sing 1994-1995, and musician- comedian, Henry Phillips. I want a tradition like this to last for a long time, said Goli Samimi, a third year Microbiology and Molecular Genetics major, and this year ' s Homecoming Rally Director. I ' m so glad I ' m a part of Homecoming. I love Chris Hardwick! Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the words spoken by football coach, Terry Donahue, via cellular phone. Donahue made a touching appeal to us Bruins to support our team against U.C. Berkeley. The main focus of the 1995 Homecoming Executive Committee was to bring together groups such as the McGhee ' s, the alumni band, and on-campus cultural organizations, that had never participated in the past. Because of this focus, Homecoming 1995 personalized each of our unique college experiences.

Nick Akers ruin Fest was an exciting new addition to the Homecoming celebration this year. Many traditions in the past have contributed something special to the spirit of Homecoming. During the 1920s and 1930s, the highlight of Homecoming week was the pajamarino. While dressed in pajamas. Bruins danced and rallied around a bonfire. Although the pajamarino has since been canceled, there were other traditions like the Homecoming dance and an Academic Homecoming. Many traditions have carried on, like the Homecoming queen which was started in 1934 and the official king in 1982. The large Homecoming parade started in 1933, and has been a significant event ever since. Hopefully Bruin Fest will blossom into a great tradition for years to come. We laid the foundation for an alternate way for groups to participate in the spirit of Homecoming, said Larissa Lam, the 1995 Bruin Fest director, and a third year Business-Economics major. Bruin Fest took place in Westwood Plaza on October 27, the Friday before the game against UC Berkeley at the Rose Bowl. Bruin Fest added so much more to the spirit rally, parade, and to the Homecoming tradition in general. Bruin Fests features included food vendors, Alumni tables, booths, and prizes. Our goal was to create an environment for students to make memories at UCLA. I think we succeeded, said Bethany Abraham, a fourth year student, and the executive director for the 1995 Homecoming Committee. Bruin Fest was a great accomplishment. SAA sponsored the entire Homecoming event, and much planning occurred in order to ensure Bruin Fests success. Bruin Fest allowed more students to participate in the festivities of Homecoming, since the booths were coordinated by clubs and organizations on campus.

Here, the excitement of Beat $C Week began and students gladly participated in the event to show their school spirit and radiate Bruin pride. Spirit-fest, sponsored by the Student Alumni Association (SAA), kicked off the festivities for the week. Blue and gold balloons embellished the usually drab Westwood Plaza into a colorful example of school spirit. The crowd and excitement surrounding the event pumped up students for the eagerly awaited Saturday game. The events that happen before the game get people hyped and ready to cheer on the team on Saturday. It ' s a great idea because people get an idea of what to expect at the game, commented Greg Wilcox, a second year Computer Science and Engineering major. Among the groups participating in the fair were SAA, some Greek groups, and even a professional rollerblading group. Sororities and fraternities contributed a bake sale, a face painting booth, and games such as the pin-the-tail-on-the-Trojan . Partners In-line, a group of pro rollerbladers, gave a sample of their show which they perform nationwide. Spirit-fest had a great turn-out considering it was the first year SAA organized it. We hope we can make it an on-going tradition here at UCLA in upcoming years, said third year Communication Studies major, Sharla Keep, a member of SAA ' s campus spirit committee. Those who passed by Westwood Plaza would stop and take a quick look at the Trojan bashing get together that was going on.

Such rivalries bring out the most heightened and sometimes silliest pride in everyone. No other time during the year will you find the rowdiest, proudest and most pumped-up Bruins than during Beat ' SC Week.

The Bruin, being the mightier of the two, would maul the Trojan with ease. Students at UCLA have no problem supporting this fact of life. When the time came when UCLA and USC had to face off in a football game, this mentality became very apparent. The cross-town rivalry between UCLA and USC has become an age-old tradition. For years, the football game between these two outstanding teams was a greatly anticipated event for southern Californians as well as the whole nation. This year was no different. The Student Alumni Association organized Beat $C Week, seven days of students openly showing their support for the Bruins and antipathy for the Trojans. This year ' s theme was Beat $C to a Pulp, with fliers and T-shirts displaying a very Tarantino-esque Joe Bruin. For those just coming to UCLA, this annual event was evidence of the strong feelings that die-hard Bruins had against Tommy Trojan and his alma mater. Being from Boston, I had no idea there was such a big rivalry between UCLA and USC. After witnessing Beat $C Week and all that happened before the game, I realized the cross-town rivalry between these universities is very exciting and unique, said Sameer Acharya, a first year Political Science student. The highlight of Beat $C Week was the rally held at the Intramural Field at 9:00 PM. When it became dark and cold all around campus, the area which held the rally exuded light and warmth thanks to the bonfire and the hundreds of students gathered in support of their team. Amid the frenzied crowd, camera crews from local news stations attempted to film the crazed students. The rally and bonfire was really crowded and loud. The coolest part was watching the Trojan burn. That was probably when the crowd cheered the loudest, stated Kime Smith, a third year English major. The morning following the rally and bonfire, Kevin, of KROQ ' s Kevin and Bean morning radio program, broadcasted live in front of the Kappa Delta house on Hilgard Ave. Here, students could once again exhibit Bruin pride and at the same time have their few minutes of fame over the radio. To not hate the University of Southern California was like to not know UCLA ' s eight clap. The unity felt throughout campus during Beat $C Week was formed because of students coming together to support a common cause. Though this cause may be insignificant and even childish to outsiders, Bruins and fans knew that it was because of their love and loyalty for their school and their team that Tommy would go crying to mommy for the fifth consecutive year.

The tension of the traditional rivalry between UCLA and USC was all too present at the Coliseum that afternoon. Alumni and students gathered in support of UCLA, while tail-gating and rallying before the big game. The anticipation was in the air: will UCLA outplay USC. ..again? UCLA players answered this question with a confident YES! before a rowdy crowd of 91,363. The 18 year old freshman quarterback, Cade McNown optimistically led the Bruins with two big passes. Several big plays marked the first half for the Bruins. During the first quarter, McNown made a pass to split end, Jim McElroy who ran to the one yard line. From there, Cheyane Caldwell made the touchdown to bring the score to 14-0. I ' m so excited, I can ' t express it to you. This is bigger than any bowl game could be, said McNown. When I saw the fire in the guys ' eyes and I saw them jumping around in the tunnel, for five to ten minutes in a row, I knew we were going to play at a level we hadn ' t played at before. Nearing the end of the game and with the clock ticking, USC started to catch up. The score now 24-14, fans cheered loudly in support of the Bruins, coming so close to another victory over USC. The clock proved to be the critical factor in determining the winner. I was watching the clock harder than anyone in the stadium. That was a lot of time that was running off the clock and we had a 10-point lead, said coach Terry Donahue. At this point, the Bruins tried to keep the lead as the clock ran out. USC scored more, but Bruin defense kept it under control. When McNown made the first down with two minutes left, Bruin victory seemed inevitable. The final plays were marked by Bruin fans cheering five more years and UCLA football players running out on the field in joyous conquest. Coach told us we ' d make history if we won. I ' m part of that history-making team, McElroy said proudly. Not only was McElroy and the remainder of the team proud of the victory, but so were the Bruin student and alumni sections.

Forever resourceful and talented students, however, discovered many different ways of coping with collegiate pressures. Some turned to campus organizations, while others to student government and activism. Still others turned to perhaps the most common (and enjoyable) stress-reliever: athletics. UCLA, as a Division I university, has an undeniably proud athletic tradition. Yet this did not necessarily imply that only our athletes could reap the benefits physical or mental of playing sports. All Bruins had the opportunity to engage in the fun via our Intramural Sports Program. Any rec-card holder or groups of UCLA students, such as dorm floors, fraternities, and sororities, was permitted to partake in the activities offered. They had the option of participating in team, dual, or individual sports competitions. Members also had the option of choosing between differing degrees of athletic ability: the AA level (ex-letter winners, most skilled, very competitive individuals); A (high ability, competitive); B (average ability); C (less skilled than those on Level B); REC (recreational, friendly competition). The Intramural Sports Program provided Bruins with men ' s, women ' s, and co-ed athletic activities that included basketball, soccer, Softball, racquetball, squash, handball, powerlifting, flag football, and volleyball. A majority of the games were played on weekdays beginning at 3 p.m, although scheduled times of competition could vary from anytime between Monday through Sunday. Entry fees ranged from a mere $5 to $25. This was a bargain, considering that participants got the privilege to play either in the John Wooden Center, Collins Court, the Men ' s Gym, the Intramural Field, or Pauley Pavilion. The popularity of the Intramural Sports Program was all too apparent at UCLA. More than 2,200 teams and 16,000 members competed throughout the year in tournament or league play. This popularity could perhaps be attributed to the reality that intramural sports at UCLA gave all participants, including referees, a chance to enjoy sports fully, either with or without the thrill of intense competition, f All Bruins had the opportunity to engage in the fun via our Story by Rocel Ryan Intramural Sports Program.

This year, the Filipino Cultural Festival (PCF) took place on Saturday, March 2nd and Sunday, March 3rd in the Ackerman Grand Ballroom. Although very different from the past (singers and dancers previously performed in front of a sold- out audience at Pauley Pavillion), Filipino Cultural Festival ' 96, themed Spirit of Our Struggles , had a similar purpose in mind: to celebrate and share with others the rich Filipino history and community. PCF ' 96 offered a host of new, innovative additions to the program. Students performed a play and traditional dances on stage in the center of AGB. The audience was thus free to browse through a variety of booths depicting the many aspects of the Filipino experience and heritage, such as the Folklore Mythology, and History of Revolution Activism booths. There are a lot of people who do not know about Filipino Culture, including a lot of Filipinos themselves, said Joseph Pascual, assistant Filipino Culture Festival coordinator. I hope the interactive element of this festival will help. The focal point of PCF ' 96 was the dances. During this years festivities, thirteen dances were performed from many regions of the Philippines. As tribute to the diverse influences of the Filipino people, a few dances, namely from the areas of the Luzon, Muslim-Mindanao, and Palawan regions, were performed to compliment the traditional rural, Western Christian dances.

There were Career Center Academic Counseling Assistants available for student use, as well as prizes and giveaways for participants. In Board With Life, another program, students played board games that helped them explore their different talents and career options. Many of the programs consisted of panel discussions with UCLA alumni and faculty. These panels discussed careers in Story by Education, Business, Art and Adrienne Art Mana g ement as wel1 alternatives to Medical Martinez school. A highlight of the program was the Career Center Adventure, when students descended on the Career Center and learned of the many resources available to them there.

This event, sponsored by the Student Alumni Association (SAA), has helped to mitigate the stereotypically sterile and ultra-impersonal collegiate life at large research universities, like UCLA. Although attending such a massive university as UCLA is definitely intimidating, students should relish in the fact that they can survive in the bewildering maze of classes, Murphy Hall, on-campus residence, and URSA . Dinners for Twelve Strangers defies the lament of critiques, parents, and even students that UCLA students are regarded as merely numbers. Students first sign-up to attend a dinner(s) that is usually held during February or March. Students are then randomly assigned to dinners, located as far as Orange County and Ventura, that are hosted by UCLA alumni. UCLA professors are also invited to attend the dinners. Allowing alumni, students, and faculty to interact dispels the myth that a UCLA student is just a number. I like the casual, receptive, friendly, and joking atmosphere of the dinners, said Karin Salisbury, a senior majoring in Theater Arts. So far, I ' ve already gotten good advice on what to do after I graduate! This exchange of ideas, thoughts, and expressions was perhaps the most attractive aspect of the Dinners for Twelve Strangers program. In the midst of gold and powder blue utensils, and other UCLA paraphernalia, the rapport of simple conversation and camaraderie fostered a sense of Bruin pride and connectedness. Dinners was a fun experience! said StOTti bll Vicki DeCaro, a third-year student R i majoring in Psychobiology. I liked the SCHSC of Bruin pride and ' randomness ' of it all. And the fact that Rllttn I got to meet alumni and other students. The beauty of Dinners for Twelve Strangers may lie in this ' randomness ' aspect. Despite the random assignment of students to dinners, there existed underlying similarities that delved beyond the fact that Dinners ' participants attend or have attended UCLA. What bound all Dinners ' participants together, even in the midst of diverse backgrounds and racial heritage, was the common experience of life. Hosting a dinner is a major priority, said Jean Strauber, who has hosted dinners since 1978. Through the warmth and intelligence UCLA students project at these dinners, I am reassured that the world - the future - is in good hands. f Dinners for Twelve Strangers 75 In the midst of gold and powder blue utensils, and other UCLA paraphernalia the rapport of simple conversation and comraderie fostered a ' connectedness ' .

The Arts Floor, one of several theme floors in Sproul Hall, is chosen by students from a variety of disciplines who were searching for a supportive environment to express their artistic and creative talents. Many of the organized programs were geared toward students interested in fine and performing arts. Past programs included trips to the LA County Museum of Art and to see such shows as Cirque Du Soleil, and the Woman Warrior, by Marine Hong Kingston.

To an outside observer, this could have seemed to be the everyday noise coming from students proceeding about their day. However, those who have been acquainted with the dorm facilities realized that this is the sound of Bruins making use of the weight room. These weight and exercise rooms, found in Dykstra, Sproul, Reiber, and Hedrick, were used by Bruins who enjoyed a healthy work-out. Weight rooms were open to students who resided in the residential life area. By showing a UCLA student ID to verify residence, Bruins were able to have access to the assortment of equipment found inside these exercise rooms. Although the limited area of the rooms restricted some types of exercise, most of them had enough space to accommodate exercise bicycles, treadmills, and stair master machines. Though the weight and exercise rooms had often gone unnoticed by many students, there were several Bruins who appreciated and utilized these facilities. For various reasons, these Bruins visited the exercise rooms in their spare time. Josh Lampano, a first-year Undeclared student, stated that he often worked out in Dykstra ' s weight room because, it is -i -j something I do to relieve the stress that has built up during the oil eSS illCii ilUS day. Since these rooms were located inside the dorms, students took advantage of the opportunity to get in a quick work-out before the end of a day. First-year Business Economics major David Smith revealed that he used the Hedrick weight room on several occasions since it ' s not always convenient to walk to the Wooden Center to exercise so I use my dorm ' s weight room instead. Like many of the other facilities which the dorms had to offer, the weight rooms proved to be convenient and beneficial to many UCLA students living in the residence halls. They provided yet another activity for students to take part in.

For years the Dungeon was notorious for housing unfortunate freshman males who had been unwittingly assigned to reside there. This year, however, Dykstra residents found it to be a gold mine where friendship was the treasure.

They shared the same experiences, boyfriend girlfriend break-ups and Melrose Place (room 110) every Monday nights. conservatism to a liberal 7 e ' re , a knit roup T because f l an h r F through the same thing.

For any woman who lived on the first floor, confused upperclassmen often questioned the gender status concerning Dykstra ' s first floor. For resident Jennifer Lee, a first-year Biology major, people often asked, Are you sure you live on the first floor? She then informed them of Dykstra ' s radical change from single-sex floor conservatism to a liberal co-ed environment. The changes that Dykstra Dungeon underwent provided a better environment where guys and girls could build long lasting friendships. Consequently, there were no more complaints heard from Dykstra ' s first floor residents. A year ago, the basement floor of Dykstra Hall, better known as the Dungeon, was the only all male floor of the Residential Life area. Now, the Dungeon is home to both male and female students alike.

It ' s easy to imagine sedate co-eds studying and knitting quietly in the floor lounge, but that doesn ' t even begin to express the spirit and comraderie found in Sproul and Hedrick Halls on the All Girls floors. Many of the girls admited that even though they were disappointed at first, once they got used to the environment, they really began to like it. Saila Upadhyayula, a first year Biology major felt, Although many of us did not request an all girls floor, the people here are really nice, and I ' ve grown to enjoy living here. Many residents felt that they could do things they wouldn ' t be comfortable doing around males, and, as a result, could be more open with each other. The girls were also happy that their parents had extra piece of mind and feel that the socialization was not as distracting in a single gender setting. On the usual floors there were two restrooms and showering facilities, which were segregated for males and females. This was often inconvenient for students who lived on the opposite side of the floor facilities allocated to them. On the all girls floors, both restrooms were exclusively for female use, and consequently were almost never completely occupied. One of the things I love about living here, said Deborah Mendoza, a first-year, Political-Science major, is that I can take a shower anytime, without having to worry whether the stalls will be filled. On Hedrick ' s all girls floor, residents were given access to a working kitchen located in the lounge area. The residents really appreciated the facility, which was unique to the residence halls, and were glad to have the opportunity to feel a little less homesick by getting the chance to cook some favorite dishes. An all girls floor PA, Michelle Hernandez, was known for not being exclusive in her programs. Males were more than welcomed on the girl ' s floors, and could participate in programs and activities. Because of this, the women on the female floors did not lose any part of the dorm experience, and were often brought closer to their fellow floor residents because of it. The all girl ' s floors fostered a caring and excellent learning environment in the dorms. Many girls would never choose to live anywhere else, f to worry whether the stalls will be filled.

Initially anxious about coming across the country for college, she has since found it to be everything she heard about. Coming to UCLA was an emotional journey for Leu. I didn ' t know what it was like over here, said Amy. She recalled being scared about coming to UCLA because she didn ' t know anybody. Two people from my high school were supposed to come to UCLA with me, but they decided to stay, said Leu. As a result, Leu faced the beginning of her college life alone. Seeing her parents leave for home in their rented car was probably the greatest shock to Leu. Their departures for Taiwan had never made much of an impression on her, but this time she remembered thinking that she was really here on her own. From the beginning, Leu wasn ' t excited about being at UCLA. She resided in Delta Terrace and, like ' A iy rOOmateS JOere everyone else, found it difficult adjusting to the new envioronment. The decision to attend was really her parents ' and within days of arriving here, she was already contemplating a transfer to an East-coast school. The first few weeks were the toughest for her, Leu called her friends back East every day and cried on the phone while talking to them. She even spent the first week of school looking for people from out of state so that she could find people to identify with. One reason she didn ' t like California was that everything was so spread out it made her feel lonely. Los Angeles was very different from what Leu expected. Compared to New York, there were fewer people, things were much cleaner and the traffic lights were vertical instead of horizontal. Little nuances like the orientation of traffic lights were typical of Leu ' s remarks about California. On the other hand, people noticed right away that Leu wasn ' t a native Southlander. Questions like what ' s a carpool lane? made people ask what planet she was from. Her New York accent also caught some attention. My roommates were always making fun of the way I say ' water, ' mentioned Leu. Some aspects of California were hard for Leu to get used to. Without subways, trains, and taxi cabs, she found it hard to get around without a car. She also found LA weather freakish. It ' s freezing in the morning and hot in the afternoon. I got sick the first few weeks because I didn ' t know how to dress.

By creating theme dining at the various halls, students benefited in both quality and faster service. Themes at the various halls included, Late Night at Sproul, where the cafeteria was open until 10pm, Cuchina de Reiber, where students found authentically prepared Italian food, Fiesta de Dykstra, for Mexican dishes, and Hedricks Exotic East, which served traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean specialties. By separating into themes, the dining facilities were able to fully utilize space for various dishes. In most halls, the new options surpassed theme dishes. In Sproul Hall, students were offered Stir-Fry and Omelet Bar, where dishes were prepared in front of students to their own specifications. It was not difficult to find some of what you were looking for at each meal. The whole flood of vegetarian and kosher options made many incoming students happy in their new environment. First-year Undeclared student, Kim Katzberg agreed, I really appreciate the fact that there are many vegetarian dishes I can choose from. During a special dinner, the dining halls were transformed with decoration, and students were given a treat, with a wide assortment of catered cuisine. Live entertainment included, live jazz and calypso bands, and even a fire dancer who performed on glass shards.

From there, a deeper friendship may blossom. i . nutkeM ivingi wor rash he expectations for cleanliness in a college dormitory were low to begin with, but after examining Dave ' s room, one would ' ve still been disappointed. The vacuuming that took place only two weeks ago seemed more like a product of fanciful thinking than reality. Littered across what was once called a room were obstacles worthy of only the toughest marines a futon that appeared to have been stranded in the middle of the room, thirteen pairs of shoes scattered across the entry, and bits of food that seemed to have taken root in the carpet. Such were the conditions of Dave ' s, James ' and Eric ' s room. Despite the apparent disaster scene, the three roommates of Delta B-2 got along well. As friends from the previous year, they now seemed more like brothers who shared everything. While arguments were few, Dave admitted that sometimes his roommates and their habits were annoying. For one thing, it was hard to get anything done in his room. To do any sort of studying, Dave retreated to the lounge. The next door neighbor ' s complaints about the noise levels were well founded. A radio, television and one, two or all three of the computers were always on. This being the situation, people were always in Dave ' s room partaking in some of the recreational activities graciously provided by the hosts. For Dave, there was no such thing as quiet time in his room. Another gripe of Dave ' s was sleeping and the lack of it. Dave considered himself a conventional sleeper (sleeps at night, wakes up in the morning). His roommates and guests, however, were not so conventional. At any given time, day or night, someone was always sleeping and someone was always up and about and thus the light switch never hit the ' off position. A rather interesting consequence of the sleeping arrangement involved alarm clocks. According to Dave, everybody except the sleeping body who set the alarm clock would hear it. The bathroom remained the cleanest part of Dave ' s room, mostly because Sunset housekeeping was required to come in and clean it. However, even this refuge had its moments. One time out toilet was clogged for a whole day and no one came to fix it. The worst part was everyone else still used it anyways, recalled Dave. Another aspect of sharing living space with others was that food and drink were objects that never lasted long. He observed that if somebody buys something that ' s edible and has no mold on it, it ' s gone within ten minutes. In all aspects of living in his room, nothing was sacred. In addition to their own grievances, Dave and his roommates had to share the problems of others. One of my roommates ' girlfriend had fleas in her apartment. She came over sometimes, and after she left, we all itched for days mentioned Dave. Though communal life has some detriments, Dave and his roommates were normally considerate of each other. Although the phone was off the hook nearly twenty-four hours, seven days a week, if someone needed to StOTIf bti use it, they just had to ask. Dave and his roommates had meals together, hung out together and occasionally went out to do stuff together. All in all, more positive aspects of living with his roommates existed for Dave Richard than negative ones. ?

Those in this select group who resided in the dorms, Sunset Village, and suites could easily get involved with the on-campus Residents ' Association. Each high rise dorm and Sunset Village have their own mini government. The purpose of these associations is to serve the needs of the residents, improve communication between residents and the Office of Residential Life, and to put on programs. Weekly meetings are held to discuss the problems and concerns of those housed on campus. Common positions, like President and Vice President, as well as more specific spots, like Social Chair and Special Programs Commissioner, make up this dedicated group. Eddie Tsai, a second year International Business major, described his job as the Community Service Commisioner of Sproul Hall Residents ' Association. The Community Service Commisioner promotes anything that is beneficial to the community. I ' ve put on blood drives and other programs with concern to the community both inside and outside of UCLA, Tsai explained. Dorm government officers put a lot of heart into their duties. Unfortunately, the results of their efforts were at times, unpredictable. I ' m the only person with this position in the residential life area so it ' s my job to publicize events not only in Sproul, but in the other buildings as well. When you put so much effort into your job and no one really responds, it can be frustrating, Tsai commented. Individuals joined the Residents ' Association for various reasons.

No one knows this agony of sweat and muscle fatigue as well as the residents of Hitch suites. Among all the dorms, Hitch is literally at the top of the hill. So what makes Hitch a haven for its over-worked residents? One possible answer may be that Hitch is home to the enthusiastic residents of D-building. Hitch is composed of four buildings or units, respectively designated A , B , C , and D. Each house promotes some sort of theme, like substance-free living. D-building is primarily made up of continuing and transfer students (whatever residence space left-over is allocated to incoming freshmen). The few freshman lucky enough to be assigned to D-building have some advantages not readily accessible to the other three units housing a majority of freshmen. The best way to gain insight on the ins and outs of on-campus housing is through the experience of past and continuing students. Most people in D-building already know each other so they ' re more willing to meet new residents. We ' re less shy, said Goli Samimi, a third-year D-building resident and former Hitch president.

During the day, participants decorated their halls, even borrowing bed sheets from housekeeping in order to give lounges a ghostly effect. After the chaos of setting up, it paid off to see how excited the kids were. It reminded me of when I was a kid going trick-or-treating, said Frances Yang, a first year Civil Engineering major. The Hall-o-Ween Haunt provided inner- city elementary children with a safe night of fun and entertainment. Children eagerly went door-to-door, collecting sack-fulls of candy. In many lounges, children found Halloween games ranging from bobbing for apples, donut-eating contests to face painting. Residents shared the same enthusiasm as the children. In Reiber Hall, Dracula roamed the halls, and in Dykstra Hall, Frankenstein greeted sixth floor trick-or-treaters. People rally together for a good cause, and they become closer in the process. Unity within the floor developed, said Gina Baleria, Program Coordinator for Sproul Hall. UCLA ' s Hall-o-Ween Haunt provided the opportunity for Bruins to get in touch with neighboring communities.

Brew . . . Bruin Brew! UCLA ' s Budweiser alternative. And we ' re not talking beer here. Were you expecting something else? With this commercial inspired moment in mind (don ' t be alarmed, squirrels plague UCLA, not toads) take notice as students find alternatives to alcoholic drinks. A Mocktails party is an example of an event that provided an alternative to alcholic beverages. Mocktails were part of the many activities during The National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (October 15-21). This year ' s motto was, Because we C.A.R.E. (Creating Awareness, Responsibility, Education). Program coordinators and volunteers in each residence hall planned a week of activities educating students about the effects of alcohol. Topics ranged from fatal drunk driving accidents to alcohol related gender topics. As the week progressed, students could choose to participate in activities. Red Asphalt, a graphic film documenting the consequences of mixing alcohol and driving, was shown at Dykstra ' s Fireside Lounge. Organs and torn body parts were splattered throughout the pavement, hence the title Red Asphalt. Many students remembered Red Asphalt, which played either during prom season or in high school traffic safety classes. The graphic portrayal of alcohol related accidents leaves a real impact for anyone who has seen Red Asphalt said Susan Wong, a first-year Undeclared student. Students also watched a Hollywood version of how the bottle destroys families. The screening of When a Man Loves a Woman at Northwest Auditorium provided a means of entertainment and education for avid movie goers. In the film, the character portrayed by Meg Ryan is an alcoholic wife and mother. Smash-a-SHA provided the greatest turn-out among the scheduled programs. Put on at least twice a year, a group of dedicated SHAs (Student Health Advocates) voluntarily became intoxicated (Is there any other way?). The SHAs then underwent a routine sobriety test by a LAPD officer. SHAs recited the alphabet in slurred speech, and with much difficulty, tried to walk in a straight line. This first-hand presentation served as a humorous way to depict a serious topic. The police officer also explained the differences in blood-alcohol content and tolerance between gender and size. Drinkers ' accountability and responsibility were also stressed. Being drunk can no longer be used as an excuse for rape. It was neat to see the sobriety tests first-hand, especially with real drunk people, said Mika Yoshida, first year Biology major.

Visit your friendly Student Health Advocate or SHA. The SHA program works in conjunction with UCLA ' s Student Health Services. There were forty SHAs residing in dorms, university apartments, and selected sorority houses. To train for this position a four unit class was taken during spring quarter. The two-hour, twice a week lectures and one-hour discussions were where SHAs learned about first aid, nutrition and health, CPR, gastrointestinal and GU problems. Besides learning common medical knowledge, SHAs were also given counseling training. The job of Student Health Advocates was time consuming, but the benefits made the efforts worthwhile. Not only was the spring course mandatory, but SHAs also had to hold office hours averaging six hours a week. During these office hours, SHAs stayed in their rooms to help students obtain non-prescription medicine, contraception, and even advice. SHAs also took time to check-up on their patients, and, if the problem was severe enough, referred them to Student Health Services. If a student was just suffering from a common cold or the flu, an encounter form was filled out in order to receive free medication. Encounter forms were later filed into the permanent files of Student Health Services for future reference. In addition to giving non-prescriptive drugs for Bruins in need, SHAs planned and implemented programs for residents in the dorms. Programs dealing with alcohol, stress, contraception, and nutrition were prevalent themes during the year. One such program was the annual Smash a SHA program. Smash a SHA was a popular program for those interested in seeing what the effects of alcohol are for different people. The program was run by a campus police officer who made the drinks and monitored how much each SHA got. There were three non-advocating SHAs, all over 21-years-old, who started drinking at 4:00 pm, said Robin Bromley, a second-year SHA in Hitch, and a pre-med. Art History major. When the actual program began at 7:00 pm, the officer gave each SHA a sobriety and blood alcohol level test. The test showed the varied effects of alcohol on males versus females. ' Smash a SHA ' was an informative event for those just entering the college party scene. SHAs donated their time to helping students, and organized programs SHAs donated their time to helping students... all without getting paid a penny.

Through the program, I met a lot of cool people with similar interests and gained a support community. I also get to meet people in my living area and work with R.A.s, P.A.s, and R.D.s in putting on programs, said Bromley. Just like with any other volunteer organization, the personal benefits I receive from being a SHA is all the payment I need.

' Story by Anita Chu ttending a huge campus like UCLA can be a frightening experience. The freshmen who arrive to the dorms usually have only a few friends, and must tackle a completely new environment all alone and away from home. The ideal person to help ease this transition was the Program Assistant, otherwise known as the P.A. With seventy P.A.s roaming the residential life area, there was sure to be a P.A. eager to help any resident in need. Prospective Program Assistants were interviewed during spring quarter, and began their position the following academic year. With an application to fill out and stressful rounds of interviews, the P.A.s built a common ground from the beginning. The relationships among the residential staff members were quite close-knit. This affinity group was developed after an extensive two-week training process prior to the dorm ' s official move-in day. During this time, the staff attended meetings and conferences concerning communication skills, ethics, and leadership. There was also an annual staff retreat (this year it was held in Malibu), where P.A.s and R.A.s got better acquainted with the people they would be working with the upcoming year. P.A. training was the ultimate bonding experience. We spent so much time together that it was inevitable that we would all become close, said Samantha Shahani, a P.A. for Courtside and a second-year Political Science major. As the title suggests, a P.A.s main responsibility was to plan programs for residents. The P.A. contract states that a minimum of seven quality programs must be implemented per quarter. To fulfill this requirement, well-rounded programs encompassed the categories of academics, community development, leadership, and personal growth. For floors with themes, programs related to the theme were mandatory. I ' ve put on programs like test-taking skills, mocktails, tours of Westwood, and a Native American ' Eagle Spirit Dancers ' performance. Having a variety of programs is essential to keeping people interested, said Shahani. Day planners of every P.A. were filled with reminders of meetings and programs. Weekly meetings for the floor, the residence association, the R.A. and P.A. staff, and one for the P.A. staff were held to brainstorm future activities, and also to discuss any other important information. P.A.s don ' t do their job for the money, and they don ' t get enough credit for what they do. P.A.s and R.A.s have separate but equal jobs, yet we give off the impression that our job is easy. It ' s the P.A.s job to be creative and motivate their residents. Ask any P.A. and they ' ll tell you how difficult it is to do so, said Shahani, knowing all too well the hectic schedule of a P.A. P.A.s were known for being perpetually happy. Many were never hesitant to say a friendly Hello. Seeing such a face was always reassuring for anyone new to UCLA. When Bruins need to talk to someone to relieve the anxieties of college life, the P.A.s were there to go that extra mile. 1 06 Residential Life .- ' ' ' ; - FA tofaPA .eed Stefanie Cli o Daily Brain (Above) While World Arts and Culture major Dylan Sears slays Griffen Herrera (a Theatre major), Music major Jennifer Palzak, and Theatre major Sierra Rein ravenously feast on their prey.

Stefanie Chao Dailij Bruin Program Assistants 107 competitive i ives orm life is traditionally known for bringing people together and fostering a feeling of community among students. But due to the recent rise in floor-to-floor competitions through the years, this notion was challenged. In many of the residence halls, there existed rival floors, which were yearly or traditionally established. Residence halls often provided a floor points system which encouraged such rivalry. Floor points were awarded to the most active floors, who earned points by working on the Homecoming float, donating at the blood drives and participating in the floor-to-floor competitions, to name a few activities. The competitions ranged from Sproul ' s midnight capture the flag in the sculpture garden, to Hedrick ' s all-floor Sports Competition. The winners of these point competitions received pizza and ice cream parties, as well as bragging rights for the rest of the year. Because some students took these competitions so seriously, many donated excessive amounts of time to compensate for less enthusiastic floor mates. It was not uncommon to find students who signed up for eight or more hours of work on the floats, or on decorating the cafeteria for special dinners. Rivalries can cause unnecessary tension between floors, especially for those that traditionally have never gotten along. This competitiveness manifested in several inappropriate ways. There had been stealth missions to rival floors to toilet paper, and change around signs. On one floor in Sproul, a floor government newsletter was stolen and posted on a rival floor with the comment, Laugh at this! Many floors had gone so far as to officially declare war on each other. Despite the obvious tension, residents generally behaved considerately during these competitions.

Competition Among the Dorms 1 09 cable Story by Anita Chu uring the ' 94- ' 95 academic year, a cable installation project was launched throughout the residence halls, suites and Sunset Village. Although the cable installation project inconvenienced many residents for a short while, this year ' s returning residents and incoming freshmen were thrilled to have cable on their TV. Long black cords were attached to a TV set so that students could indulge in all their viewing pleasures. Cable consists of channels such as ESPN, The Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, and even the Weather Channel. This basic cable service was free of ihrase that ' s music to every starving college student. However, for the premium channels like HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime, the cost ranged from $36 to $84 per quarter. It ' s so convenient to have the premium movie channels because the movies are recent, they ' re not interrupted by commercials, and you don ' t have to walk to Westwood and pay five bucks, said Susan Tomasheski, a third-year student majoring in Psychology. TV, especially cable TV, is a distraction well-known for many students. When midterms and finals rolled around, cable served as an outlet for many frustrations. After hours of preparation for an ' O-chem ' midterm, coming home to cable is really relaxing, said Payul Shahpatel, a second-year Chemistry major, With so much on TV now, it ' s really time consuming and I know I shouldn ' t be wasting my time. with their TV equipped Not only a source of constant with cable, students cannot whine: there ' s nothing on TV. Students were bound to find something to suit their taste. On The Learning Channel, they often have cooking shows. When you have to eat dorm food everyday, those shows can almost make you forget how bad food can really be, said Kane Torroll, a second-year Business-Economics major. Cable served various purposes for students. For some, it was the perfect remedy for a stress-filled day. Whatever purpose cable suited, the majority of residents agreed that cable was definitely a good thing, no matter how much studying time it took away, f entertainment, UCLA ' s newly installed cable system was also a great stress reliever. 110- Residential Life A Tlie dorms finally received cable and Josie Garcia is taking full advantage of this once never thought of luxury during one of her rare study breaks.

For the first time, UCLA students had access to Bruin On-Line, a program that made researching topics in the often crowded campus libraries a thing of the past. This new program offered various services to dorm residents, including: personal e-mail accounts, the ability to surf ' the internet, ease in finding research materials as well as e-text programs which provide informational public documents for general student use. A free, personal e-mail account had been available through the Math Sciences building. Now students can have the same free access to the internet for the cost of a Bruin On-Line software package. These packages, available at the Student Technology Center, cost an average of $100. Packages included everything students needed for access, as well as aid in installation and any other problems they may encounter. Many students who previously owned the appropriate hard and software received Bruin On-Line for no cost other than the flat rate which had been incorporated into student registration fees. Packages were available for both Macintosh and IBM personal computers; however, students must have Ofl-T in? hf lT)Prl TUP aWin d ws program when using IBM and compatibles.

Luckily, by second week, most of the problems were handled, and students responded positively to the new services. The financial benefits of the new Bruin On-Line system were one of its best selling points. Bruin On-Line helped me keep my phone bill down, said Bryon Williams, a first- year Undeclared student. Now if I need to contact anybody, I just turn on my computer and e-mail them. This advanced form of communication proved not only faster, but more efficient and reliable than using the Postal Service. Many professors and T.A.s also made themselves available on the internet, which proved very helpful for students who could not attend office hours due to illness or job related reasons. Some students even received their weekly work schedule through e-mail, thereby saving them a trip to campus. Though only in its first year, Bruin On-Line proved to be useful to students as well as others associated with UCLA. The various programs that linked UCLA students with the world wide web proved to be beneficial to student education, and with keeping Bruins ahead in the information age. j Story by Adrienne Martinez 112- Residential Life _, TV financial lulling iiness Web A In the Griffin Commons computer lab, students lose themselves in a world of circuits, namely the Internet.

Ma Andrews Bruin On- Line 113 working with Mine first I raft VI uring the first week of classes, students noticed a frantic rush to the second floor of Griffin Commons. This was the site of tutoring for science classes, such as chemistry, math, physics, and the life sciences. In addition to help for south campus courses, tutorials had tutors that assisted other students with editing term papers. Tutors had much experience in writing, allowing them to give students helpful suggestions. If a student suffered from writer ' s block, talking to tutors was usually a good technique for brainstorming. Opportunites were on a first come first serve basis, so only a limited number of students were able to participate in a tutorial group. For those who did not get to Griffin on time, drop-in tutorials were another possibility. Obtaining individual help and attention from a professor in a class of 300 was rarely simple. The tutorials offerred settings of about six students per tutor, so questions were answered faster than if students went to their TA ' s or professor ' s office hours. Also, it was less intimidating to ask questions in a small group. The tutors had an impressive understanding of the course materia, and often expanded on the information given in lecture. I think college tutorials have great tutors that are very helpful and knowledgable in classes which they have mastered, said Aviv Hver, a third-year Physiological Science major. Tutors usually prepared additional problems for practice during the tutoring hour. Students were expected be ready to tackle these problems beforehand, from information gained in lecture and self-study. The tutor reviewed the material to ensure that all students had a firm grasp of the concepts. Thus tutoring was not a replacement for lecture, but was instead a strengthening of existing knowledge. College tutorials are useful if you use them to enhance your studying, said Hong Ho, student studying Anthropology with a pre-med emphasis. Tutors there will reinforce the fundamentals that you learned in class. It is a great way to review the basics. Another advantage of attending college tutorials was that the tutors have already taken the class beforehand. This allowed students to gain insight in the types of test questions, and information that Story by the professor stressed in class. Tutors usually went to classes that they were teaching so they knew exactly what the professor covered during the quarter. College tutorials in Griffin Commons was an excellent way to condense the size of classes, and get m ore personal attention. Students who went to the turorials had a higher chance of getting better grades in their courses. The value of a tutorial was that students were able to gain a deeper understanding of material presented in lecture, f Thus tutoring was not a replacement for lecture, but was instead a strengthing of existing knowledge.

Many UCLA students who were unable to receive a housing assignment or had a previously bad on-campus housing experience, chose to live in apartments. There were many available apartments in Westwood, and surrounding areas, such as Santa Monica. Students searched to find an apartment that suited their lifestyle, as well as financial and transportational needs. Many students worried that they would not have the same social activities and programs made easily accessible in the dorms. As a result, most looked for areas that were notoriously busy and loud. Generally, the apartments near campus were a social extension of the dorms, and were often geared solely to student living conditions. Some even provided study areas such as lounges. Because these buildings were close to campus, students did not need to rely on public transportation. All of the campus facilities, including Community Safety Officers (CSO) and escorts were readily available. Students who felt distracted in the dorms searched for a quiet building a ways from campus. The apartments in Santa Monica were often a wise choice. For some students, a balcony was a must in looking for an ideal apartment. an The Ideal ' apartment is truly a reflection of a student ' s personality and lifestyle. Story by Adrienne Martinez Because the buildings were decidedly separated from campus life, the students did not feel social pressure that might interfere with studying. Undeniably, there were a few basic components of ideal apartment, regardless of location. Apartment contracts were confusing, and were occasionally not even honored. Many students found themselves charged for damage they did not inflict and billed for utilities they assumed were in the monthly payment. It was extremely important for a student to reside in a building they felt comfortable with in an area they considered safe. Because of this, the student visited possible sites on several occasions, and at various times of the day, before making the final decision. Based on how close to campus students chose to live , they needed to consider special exceptions to their study list and schedule, especially if they relied on public transportation, which was not always prompt. Without RAs to help work out roommate conflicts, it was extremely important to be well acquainted with all of the people sharing the apartment. It was important for students to agree on what constitutes an ideal apartment, and to ensure that they did not create an environment unfavorable to studying. The ideal apartment is truly a reflection of a student ' s personality and lifestyle, f koji Ha 122 Apartment Life ' l rf ' kwaid U v ] - - dfA I B(ii ad at ffefc before o nuder special i schedule.

After a long day of going to classes or work, Bruins must then go home to their apartments and prepare dinner. Cooking meals that measure up to home cooked meals took practice and experimentation. But when all else failed, there was always takeout! Unfortunately my meals never seem to have all four food groups plus the yummy extras that Mom ' s do, said Jennifer Taylor, a fourth year Political Science major. Since I ' ve started cooking for myself, I now take vitamins daily and go to Diddie Reise for the yummy extras. With so much happening in a students life, housework often took a low priority. Yet after living in an apartment for only a few weeks, realization hit: the time had come to clean up. It was not such an enormous task when the chores were divided among roommates. Some households did not adhered to a set routine, and instead just cleaned whenever necessary. If anything, doing the chores Since I ' ve started cooking for myself, I now take vitamins and go to Diddie Riese for the yummy extras.

Unfortunately, food did not magically appear in the refrigerator as it did at home. I find that I keep running out of things at the worst times: milk, bread, meat, clothes, and toilet paper, said Frank Atwood, a third year Civil Engineering student. So, with some practice, students learned to think ahead about grocery shopping. Shopping was not always as easy as it may seem. Preparing for meals can be difficult at first, but with practice, became more enjoyable. Also, students in apartments gained personal satisfaction in purchasing items that they preferred to cook their favorite foods with. Yet, for some students, grocery shopping was simple. I go home, get an old grocery bag from the cupboard and load up on mom ' s leftovers or whatever I need for the week. It ' s fast, easy, and free! said Jenny Dotey, a third year Biology major. So, even though mom was not living in the apartment, students were still able to enjoy good home cooking. Bruins had much to learn when moving into an apartment for the first time. Cooperation was needed between roommates s o that everything went as smoothly as it did back at home. Although cooking and cleaning may intially seem like impossible tasks, students remembered that mom once had to learn too! ? Students learned to do their own dishes, living in an apartment. Of course, this made mom proud. a CD Won Woo When Moms Not Around 125 hen the godlike housing administrators m I proclaimed, in all their infinite power and wisdom, that Anh Luu ' s application for housing was denied, she freaked. Coupled with the anxieties of starting college, moving out and having to live on her own, Luu also faced questions of where to live, whom to live with, and what to eat. This same situation confronted freshmen every year. Finding roommates and a place to live often involved chance, luck, and lots of phone calls. Some students decided to live by themselves, while others found roommates to share living expenses. For freshmen, apartment life was either their worst nightmare or a dream come true. Usually, it was something in-between. First year student Lisa Lee preferred to live in the dorms, but decided to live in her sisters ' apartment. Choosing this alternative was less costly than living in the dorms. I feel I have more responsibility living in the apartments, said Lee. But, I definitely don ' t meet as many people. Most freshmen agreed that living in the dorms One of the advantages that freshmen have living in apartments rather than dormitories their first year is that they have more space and freedom in apartments than in a dorm. The luxury of eating out can be costly, and parents were unlikely to consider it an ' educational expense ' . Story by Richard Wang their first year was ideal, since it was the best way to meet people. In the dorms, students knew almost everyone in the building. It was common for students to enter any room, and begin talking to its occupants. Another matter which first year apartment dwellers faced was time and finance management. As opposed to those living in the dorms, students in apartments had to pay an assortment of bills, rent, and groceries while simultaneaously balancing the demands of school. Food was also a primary concern among apartment dwellers in general. The luxury of eating out can be costly, and parents were unlikely to consider it an educational expense. In some homes, like Lee ' s, everyone cooked for themselves. Apartment dwellers lived on everything from peanut butter sandwiches to boiled eggs. Whether or not the rumors about the quality of food in the dorms were true or not, worse specimens of cuisine could be found in the apartments. Freshmen living in apartments found no guarantee that the conditions would be better or worse than living in the dorms. In the end though, this didn ' t matter much. After all, we ' re all here to get an education, right? ?

In fact many would consider it a college town USA. Complete with stores and eateries of every kind, Westwood is also complimented by a stunning diversity of people. While many students considered living in Westwood part of the UCLA experience, not all chose to live there. Living outside of Westwood was an alternative to the hefty price tags of Westwood apartments, the crumbling boulevards, the incessant lack of parking, and the never- ending stream of noise that filtered through the streets. Still, being so far removed from campus was often a problem for some Bruins. A major complaint among students who lived far away was a feeling of being left out of school activities. Willie Lu, who worked and lived in downtown LA, made the commute to UCLA everyday. Battling traffic, fighting for parking and virtually living in his car were hard realities of his daily life. Away from the loud parties and wailing fire engines, apartments outside of Westwood also tended to be more modern, spacious, and less pricey. Story by Richard Wang Although Lu ' s living expenses were only a fraction of most Westwood tenants, he nonetheless felt isolated from school life and activities. Though involved in some on-campus organizations, he still missed out on many social events. I don ' t feel it ' s worth it to drive back to school if I ' m already home, said Lu. Still, there were some students who preferred to live outside of Westwood because of the distance from school. Away from the loud parties and wailing fire engines sirens, apartments outside of Westwood also tended to be more modern, spacious, and less pricey. However, transportation was a real drawback, especially for those without a car and a parking permit. Those students who hadn ' t previously known the joys of public transportation were quick to learn the system. Otherwise, their only other option was to walk So is the grass greener outside of Westwood? The answer depended on the needs of the individual. Certainly, nice apartments existed outside of Westwood, but for others, nothing compared to living close to UCLA, f Students thing further away from school often had to leave earlier than most others in order to get to class on time. CD Joy Yuson Living South of Wilshire Boulevard 129 T Though not the most popular option, some students chose to share the same apartment with the opposite sex. Nonetheless, just like in any other situation, everyone had equal responsibilities. When it came down to it, men and women found out they weren ' t too different. Some surprisingly discovered that living together was fun and not so awkward. 1 30 Apartment Life kojl I l.illlli) or many students, the onset of college represented their first step towards independence. As Bruins traversed through their years at UCLA, their desire for independence manifested itself in various ways. One manner in which a majority of the student population chose to further their freedom was by moving out of the college dorms and into apartments. Apartment complexes are everywhere and they can be close to campus or far. These buildings not only offered an alternative to living on-campus, but they also gave students the opportunity to gain new experiences. One option in apartments absent in UCLA ' s dorms was the decision for students of the opposite sex to live together. There were a number of reasons why Bruins ended up sharing an apartment with students of the opposite sex. It was sometimes the result of a curiousity to enter a never before-experienced situation, or the desire to interact more with those of opposite gender. Usually, the decision to live with members of the opposite sex was not a premeditated one. Some students did not intend to deal with male roommates at all. I chose to live with guys because the apartment was in an ideal location for a reasonable price, explained [Living with the opposite sex] was sometimes the result of a curiousity to enter a ' never before- experienced situation... Story by Sue Wichayanuparp Maria Eberline, a first-year Theater major. What ever the motives, most students involved in sharing apartments with the opposite sex conceded that it was a unique experience. Males often found that there were advantages to having female roommates. The apartment would probably be a lot messier if there were only guys living here, stated Anders Nyman, a transfer into the International Business Management Program who lived with two female roommates. Yet, there were also some slight complications that arose as a result of male-female living arrangements. Students often found that their parents were apprehensive of the situaton. My parents were at first skeptical about the possibility that I would be living with males, revealed Eberline. However, she concluded that everything worked out for the best and now I have two male roommates who treat me like a sister. No matter how students approached the situation, sharing an apartment with members of the opposite sex was not something which appealed to all. It may not have been the perfect arrangement for everyone, but nevertheless, most students were generally content with their situation. I can ' t think of a down side to sharing an apartment with someone of the opposite sex, declared Casey Bryan, a fifth-year Mechanical Engineering major. ? c Koji Harmon Living with The Opposite Sex apartment life. Sooner or later, it is seemingly the inevitable housing choice for every Bruin. For many, apartment life is a time to rejoice the simple realities, (like no more cafeteria lines!) For others, an apartment is just another place to PARTY. The beauty of apartment life, to some, revolved around the freedom from Resident Assistants, room- drawn lottery selections, and mandatory house meetings. The apartment option offerred choices, and, in many ways, a certain amount of indivi dualism. Yet, to other apartment dwellers, home meant a constant place to party. Thursday night seemed to be UCLA socially-accepted college night to drink, dance, and socialize. Some apartment complexes developed a reputation-arguably a standard-for which other apartment parties must live up to. The most renown party-active apartments in Westwood were not even referred to by address. Rather, these party meccas were casually referred to by their familiar name. For example, one notably popular party locale on Gayley was simply called the partying Peach House. There ' s an uncanniness and even a certain sense of Bruin togetherness in illicitly knowing Story by Eric Mah which apartment event to go to on a Thursday night just saying, Let ' s party at the Height, (immediately recognized as Levering Heights ) Regardless of when the party was happening or the party ' s location, nearly all apartment complexes have an overseeing apartment manager. Unlike the dorms, there were no write ups. Rather, the discipline now in the apartment world was the manager, and, if the situation necessitated, the police. One manager apartment explained the implementation on a quiet curfew. Though many tenants in the apartments seemed to laugh it off. Curfews? apartment dweller Quan Doan mocked, They don ' t really exist. Managers know that if they were too strict, they won ' t have students sticking around to sign another year ' s lease. In fact, many students do not even know about curfews. Instead, students party when they feel like it. All that students could do was hope that their neighbor doesn ' t have massive parties during exam-times. But all was not loud on the apartment-front. In fact, many students were happy in their quiet apartment. Smart Bruins found apartments that offered the right balance in social activity and studious environment. Otherwise, the year could be a very long one. complexes have developed a reputation - arguably a standard - for which other apartment parties must live up to. 132 Apartment Life Joy Yuson A Whether it be a birthday or study break, a party is always in order. Parties are a healthy way to relax, relieve stress and escape the academic routine students find themselves in. Westwood apartments, such as this one located on Glenrock Avenue are conducive for parties. Unlike the dorms, where RAs are on patrol regulating any gatherings taking place in rooms, apartments offer an environment appropriate for loud music and dancing. 44 Junior Priscilla Herbilla demonstrates the art of laughter and dance during a legendary Westwood party.

Aren ' t all the apartments near campus on Gayley, Strathmore, Landfair, Levering...? Far from all the fraternity houses and apartments on the previously mentioned streets are ones that are in a much more serene locale. Apartments on Hilgard, where most sorority houses are, were another off- campus option for students. The Hilgard apartments had many convenient aspects and great perks. The campus was in such close vicinity to campus that in a matter of minutes, the buildings of north campus or further down in south campus stood before you. If you think about it, we ' re only a two minute walk away from campus. That ' s closer to campus compared to any of the apartments on the other side. It ' s nice to wake up just ten minutes before class and still get there on time, stated Gloria Fan, a third-year Communication Studies major. Because the sorority houses occupy much of Many would say that where I live is unsociable. I ' d like to call it peaceful Story by Anita Chu Hilgard Ave., it ' s gotten the reputation to be a more anti-social area. There was definitely a lack of wild parties and loud social gatherings that the frat houses host. Many would say that where I live is unsociable. I ' d like to call it peaceful. You get the best of both worlds because you ' re close enough to everything and can go out there and find things to do, said Fan. The peace and quiet of Hilgard was every once in awhile disrupted by intermittent disturbances. Complaints about noise were voiced by some tenants who enjoyed their calm surroundings. This noise didn ' t come from drunken college kids, but rather, from transportation vehicles near the area. Buses would frequently pass by and helicopters would hover by the med center. The occasional noise didn ' t really deter any students from living there. Though it wasn ' t the most popular place to reside, those who did found it suited them perfectly. I ' m surprised that more people don ' t live here. It ' s less crowded than the apartments on the other side of campus. The rent is reasonable and the area is really safe. I love it here and wouldn ' t want to move, commented Gloria. ?

With such a peaceful environment, it was the perfect place for reading and studying. The apartments located on the eastside were particularly popular for those students looking for peace and quiet because these apartments were situated among residential houses. Roommates help each other with daily household chores. Because Hilgard apartments were so close to campus, it was common to see roommates spend time together in the apartment.

This tradition has spilled over onto almost every aspect of American life. UCLA is no exception to the rule. The pride that Bruins feel towards the continued success of their athletic teams is unprecedented. Every quarter of the academic year is jam-packed with sporting events. Yet, a side that most UCLA fans rarely get to see is the recruitment process. In addition to looking for the universal traits of good athletes, such as skill, sportsmanship, concentration, etc., UCLA searches for the best athletes in the nation. Because of UCLA ' s excellent academic and athletic reputation, prospective athletes are naturally attracted to the university. The quality of students ' social life, weather, and locale are other factors as well.

UCLA starts writing letters targeting potential players as young as middle school age. During this time, UCLA asks prospects to complete a bio sheet for future reference.

UCLA also has the option of subscribing to recruiting services. Football usually obtains the largest pool of prospects, since football is the largest sport with the most players. hotel rooms during their stay. Recruiting assistants give athletes a tour of the campus in order to show prospects how it is like to be a UCLA student, and not solely an athlete.

With this impressive and intimidating Bruin defensive line- up, the opponents don ' t stand a chance. Ithough some senior key players graduated last year, the UCLA Men ' s Football team put together yet another winning season. The season displayed a lot of team potential, but due to injuries and other unforeseen circumstances, the Bruins ' season was very unpredictable. Their 7-5 record (4-4 in the Pac-10) was respectable, but it fell short of most fans ' expectations. The season began on a good note as the Bruins won two straight non- conference games over Miami and Brigham Young. However, they could not continue their winning streak, dropping two straight games to conference opponents, Oregon and Washington State. Led by starting tailback, Karim Abdul- Jabbar, the Bruins bounced back to win 5 their next three games. The third game was a 33- 16 rout over California which gave head coach, Terry Donahue, 98 conference victories, tying the all-time Pac-10 record. His chance to gain the all-time record was delayed, however, when the Bruins lost in a close game against Arizona State, 37-33.

Although, the underdog Bruins were severely shorthanded (Abdul-Jabbar was forced to sit out of the game), the team triumphed over the inferior Trojan, 24-20, for the fifth consecutive year. This victory not only gave Donahue the Pac-10 coaching record, but it also earned the team a spot in the Aloha Bowl. Yet, along with the good news, came the bad. After 20 years of coaching at UCLA, Terry Donahue announced his retirement. Donahue unfortunately ended his UCLA coaching career with a 51-30 loss to Kansas in the Aloha Bowl. Donahue subsequently chose to take a job as a football analyst for CBS television. The end of the football season was marked with uncertainty regarding the replacement of a head coach for the team. One much talked about prospective coach was Northwestern head coach, Gary Barnett, but he declined the offer, saying he would stay with his team. After weeks of waiting, the suspense was over when Bob Toledo, the offensive coordinator for the Bruins, was named the new head coach for UCLA. Although UCLA didn ' t have the greatest season ever, the Bruins showed they had the heart to pull through with a winning season despite facing some obstacles. The Jeff Fu season demonstrated a lot of talent from individual players. Abdul-Jabbar, who rushed 1,571 yards this year, set UCLA ' s single-season rushing record.

It ' s a time when college days are just memories and the responsibilities of real life begin. For college coaches and athletes, however, this milestone has a different meaning. Oftentimes, graduation translates into the loss of significant players. Filling the shoes of graduated players, and rebuilding a team after a spectacular season are hard jobs that are essential for success. After the initial glow of being the 1995 NCAA Champions subsided, coaches and players of the men ' s basketball team had a new problem to face. With the loss of senior starters Ed O ' Bannon, Tyus Edney, and George Zidek, Jim Harrick and his staff knew they had big positions to fill. The loss of these three key athletes left the team short- handed. To compensate for these losses, the team recruited young and talented players like freshmen, Jelani McCoy and Brandon Loyd. The Bruins also relied on last year ' s rising stars, J.R. Henderson, Toby Bailey, and a Story by Anita Chu slimmed down Kris Johnson (all sophomores) to make the shots and run and the courts. With a young and less experienced team, the Bruins found their season to be inconsistent and less solid than the previous one.

Jelani McCoy, a leader in blocked shots in the Pac-10, protects the Red Zone with authority. fter winning an unprecendented llth National Championship, the UCLA men ' s basketball team looked to this year with uncertainty. Seniors Ed O ' Bannon, Tyus Edney and George Zidek graduated to the NBA, and left behind a young, but hopeful team. This year, new players stepped into the limelight, leading the Bruins to yet another Pac-10 title and a berth in the NCAA tournament. The team struggled in the beginning of the season, but quickly recovered and peaked just in time for the postseason. Freshman center Jelani McCoy filled the void left by Zidek with dominating play in the middle. His agressive playing style wreaked havoc on opposing offenses and earned him a starting job. He answered critics who thought he was slumping with brilliant play during the home wins against the Arizona schools, and became an instrumental part of the Bruins arsenal. Cameron Dollar, who did such a great job substituting in for Edney in last year ' s championship game, was expected to be the floor general for the team this year. Early season injuries to both his hands prevented him from taking that role, but he recovered and came on strong late in the season, regaining his starting job. His _ penetration into the paint and passing was missed earlier in the V season. Toby Bailey was moved from shooting uard to point guard when Dollar was injured.

The second leading rebounder on the team with seven per game, Jelani McCoy battles the opponent in the point with great power. He adjusted to his new assignment extremely well and played like an experienced veteran. With Dollar in the game again, Bailey moved back to shooting guard, a position more suited for his style of play. Kris Johnson was perhaps the big surprise of the year. During the summer, Johnson lost 30 pounds and became much quicker on the floor. His breakthrough came in a match up against Cal at Pauley Jeff Fi Pavillion. Johnson scored a career high of 36 points against the Bears, showing flashes of his father, Marques, when he played for UCLA. Kris does that in practice to us all the time.

On his 21st birthday against USC, Charles capped off the night with a 12 foot jumper with 0.4 seconds remaining in the game, lifing the Bruins to a 61-59 win. J.R. Henderson also stepped up his level of play, leading the team in scoring average. He was a model of consistency all season. He quietly gets the job done with his ball playing skills and concentration. The bench provided a big spark this past season.

The Bruins also welcomed the addition of Darren Humphrey, a junior transfer, who finished second in his debut game. The team was led by several experienced players, including three returning seniors. Senior co- captain Eric Lohman finished in the top 21 in all four of the team ' s tournaments while also posting the team ' s best scoring average, 73.66. Lohmann also forwent his redshirt year to help the team to their No. 6 ranking in the District VIII division. Junior Trevor Arts was also an asset to the Bruins posting the team ' s highest individual finish of the year with a second place tie at the Fresno Lexus Golf classic. Other strong players included B.J. Schlagenhauf, and team co- captain Michael Miller. Though the Men ' s Golf faced some disappointing finishes throughout the season, they showed their outstanding potential. Our team ' s pretty strong this year. At every tournament, we ' ve shown the ability to be the best team there, declared Lohman. The Women ' s Golf team also J demonstrated their power on the course.

With this massive understatement, the women ' s water polo team had a spectacular 1995-1996 season. For most of the year, the team held onto a number one ranking. The highlight of the season came when UCLA battered USC, 17-3 during the UC San Diego tournament. UCLA won all four games, and even came home with the championship. UCLA also came out on top against Santa Barbara. Thanks to the two key saves of goalie, Nicolle Payne, the Bruins routed the Gauchos. Women ' s Waterpolo has done amazingly well for being such a young team. Because of Title IX, a UC decision to make male and female sports programs more equal, UCLA cut men ' s swimming and gymnastics since there were too many male sports. Thus women ' s waterpolo status changed from its status as a club sport to a varsity, Division I team in 1994. Hanging out and bonding ; with the team is what I like best, said Paige Erickson, a Sophomore driver majoring in Communications Studies. I also like traveling with die team to places like Maryland and Cal. The road trips to San Diego, USC, and Santa Barbara were a blast!

Uk pi OIK9 ' re r Story by Rocel Ryan A Mammoth s Far West and Fascination runs provide a difficult course where Tracy Teal , a returning third-year racer, competes to maintain UCLA ' s first place ranking in SCCSC women ' s slolam. y most memorable experience on the ski team occurred when I was a freshman, said James Skrinska, a fourth year Computer Science major. It was during my very first Giant Slalom race, and I hit a gate that clipped one of my skis. I slammed into the snow, and suffered a bloody nose, cut lip, and a black eye. Despite this early experience, Skrinska must have found something worthwhile in the team, since this year he was the ski team ' s president. Going into approximately its 25th year at UCLA, the ski team consisted of 70 overall active members, 35 of which comprised the registered racers. The ski team ' s season began in January and ended early in April. The team raced at Mammoth every other weekend, and the regionals were held in mid - February at Squaw Valley. This year, the team competed with a variety j: of schools including UC Santa Barbara, Irvine, Riverside, 5 and San Diego, USC, San Diego State University, Cal State Northridge, Pepperdine, Santa Monica College, Long Beach State, and University of San Diego. The team participates in a week-long race camp before each season, the camp was | held in Aspen, Colorado this J year. But due to poor snow | conditions, the team could not train effectively. Despite this obstacle, Skrinska had significant confidence in his team. I ' m positive that we ' ll rank at least in the top three. This is the first year we ' ve had lots of strong freshmen, said Skrinska. f Alpine Ski: Tracy Teal, Max Andrews, Chris kitchen, Justin Guichard, Robert Soldat, Michelle Rodgriguez, Vivian Yu, Perry Steinberg, Andrew Seefeld, Matthew Wilczynski, Michael Hockrnan, Angie Tso, May Chang, Jose Rico Mendez, Marshall Feldman. neil Ishibashi.

Members of the Shooting Club practice on various types of guns. This member prefers a rifle. CLA ' s shooting team began in 1989, and has become a club which caters to those who seek a disciplined, focused, and concentrated sport. There are two aspects of the shooting club that specialize in different areas. The club portion is for anyone who is interested in the uses of firearms, including recreational, safety, and educational purposes. The shooting team focuses on competition, and requires weekly practices and some shooting skill. The shooting team travels to Poway, Ca, once a month for preliminary competition. Then a sectional competition is held during the month of February in Utah, where the top fifteen competitors head to the collegiate nationals during the month of March. UCLA has competed in the nationals (held at Westpoint in New York) for two years in a row. Most of the teams they compete against are from 3 military universities. S Though firearms are k intimidating to many, those in the club are quite adjusted to using 22-caliber pistols and air rifles. Members generally practice their shooting in the Men ' s Gym and shooting ranges. The shooting club familiarizes individuals with the precision and skill needed to c operate a gun or rifle. | Technicalities put aside, there are certain aspects of the sport ' that only experienced shooters would understand. Shooting is a stress reliever. You have to calm yourself in order to focus and shoot well, said shooting team member, Jackie Morton. Not only is the choice of guns important, but the ability and skill of knowing how to use each one is vital in obtaining good marksmanship. 304 Shooting Club Jucki Morton KARATE p c mov-eg Story by Adrienne Martinez This is a dummy story.

These teams are currently in the Southern California Collegiate League, Division 2, which consists of seven schools. They face off with schools such as CSU Long Beach, CSU Fullerton, USC, and UC Santa Barbara. Fencing is a sport where accuracy and concentration are essential.

Lacrosse, a fairly new sport on the West Coast, has quickly gained interest in the last few years. The Men ' s Lacrosse team at UCLA has been in existence for over twenty years as a club sport with absolute zero funding from the school. The team plays in the Western Collegiate League Division 1 South. Division 1 South includes schools such as Arizona, UCSD, San Diego State, Whittier and Chapman. With Arizona and Chapman actively recruiting for Men ' s Lacrosse and offering scholarships, these schools obviously had the playing advantage. The NCAA has no plan to expand into the Western Regionals until more schools pick up the sport. This years team consisted of approximately thirty team members. Practice started in the fall, and the actual season began in winter. Having lost many players to graduation those remaining on the team are young. About one half of the team members were beginners. The team got off to a slow start, and their record was less than perfect. However, the young team has high expectations and Jeff Fu hopes for the future. Our team experience grows with every game. Within the next couple of years, we should give the other schools a run for the money, says Ryan Gallagher, a senior majoring in History and Political Science. ? m Captain Reed Woodson discusses a play with the coach.

The Paragliding Club gets a truly scenic view of Santa Barbara . aragliding is no ordinary club sport. Started in 1989, the Recreation Center was unwilling to recognize this club, because it did not want to assume the liability of possible injury to participants. As such, paragliding exists as an independent club sport here on the UCLA campus. Paragliding is a cross between parachuting and hang gliding, said Robert McMahan, a Senior majoring in History. It has the appearance of a parachute, with an air inflated wing and the feel of a hang glider. Paragliding is a year round sport and is only dependent on the wind | conditions. Although it is a club e sport, the paragliding team does = not compete. McMahan cites the 3 extreme dangers brought about by over competitiveness as the major for not partaking reason in competition. The team practices in Santa Barbara, and this year, planned a trip to Cantamar over Spring Break. This year ' s team consisted of fifteen people. Of these fifteen, four were certified fliers (which means that they can fly without the 3 assistance of an instructor). By the iT end of this season, there were a dozen certified fliers. Interestingly | enough, most students who joined the club were initially attracted to the prospect of learning to fly. Says McMahan, It ' s an adventure seeker ' s rush. ?

This changed when Doris Ng stepped into the picture. Doris Ng, an undeclared Freshman, Story by took the Badminton is a relatively new competitive sport in Southern California. For this reason, no league has been formed and tournaments follow no set schedule. Schools usually hold impromptu Invitationals, inviting the other area schools with clubs to come and play. Any member is allowed to participate in the tournaments. Typically the players just hop in Kerri Holtfreter initiative and ventured down to the Wooden Center to see what she could do. The club had fallen apart when last year ' s president had graduated. Now, Doris Ng heads the club as president. Besides Doris, anywhere from ten to fifteen other regulars show up for practice every Wednesday. The club receives very little monetary support from UCLA. Yonex Company sponsors the team, supplying it with the needed equipment. Roel Bautista the car and go. The club hopes to grow into a stronger organization and welcomes any new players.

Editor-in-Chief Gary Bernato English Fourth Year Ha ' Am 343 Al-Talib is the first, and only, university- sponsored Muslim newsmagazine in the nation. We offer a fresh, unadulterated perspective on issues that affect the Muslim community. With the mainstream media ' s incessant demonization of people with Arab and Muslim backgrounds, many stereotypes abound. We strive to combat these stereotypes, uphold justice, and offer the otherwise voiceless in this society a platform to speak out.

It was called the Scooper In 1978, students applied to the Communications Board for official funding and Pacific Ties was born. Since then, we have been the forum on campus for the examination and discussion of issues and ideas of interest to Asian Americans. We ' re here to give Asian American writers, artists, designers and editors the space and the training to exercise their talents - and of course to give our readers something good to read. Hopefully, they ' ve found the magazine worth their while... whether it has made them mad, laugh, or think. Pacific Ties 345 TOGETHER Together is a biquarterly student publication dedicated to giving women a voice. We see feminism as the not- so-radical belief that both genders are created equally capable to make their own choices; that no one ' s life should be defined solely by an X or a Y chromosome and that issues of women are issues of humanity.

We share with you on this special occasion, one of your favorite poems by Robert Frost: THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. - All Praise and glory be to God. May you always be one with God. We love you very much Mom and Dad Today is your time to let the good times role. Love Sister Kelley Congratulations, God Bless and may you find that job.

Congratulations ! ! ! with pride and love from Mom, Dad, Mark Marianne Until lately the best thing 1 was able to think of in favor of civilization, apart from blind acceptance of the order of the universe, was that it made possible the artist, the poet, the philosopher, and the man of science. When it is said that we are too much occupied with the means of living more complex; that it calls for great and combined intellectual efforts, instead of simple uncoordinated ones. Because more complex and intense intellectual efforts mean a fuller and richer life. Life is an end in itself, and the only question as to whether it is worth living is whether you have enough of it. We are all very near despair. The sheathing that floats us over its waves is compounded of hope, faith in the unexplainable worth and sure issue of effort, and the deep, subconscious content which comes from the exercise of our powers.

Dear Anh, You have made my life all the more meaningful and brighter because of our friendship. When the gang all split up after high school, it was basically you and me who kept in touch with each other. You went off to Smith (back East) and I went to UCLA. You knew how hard high school was for me. And I didn ' t know if I had enough strength to make it through college with all the baggage I was carrying. I was so glad to see that distance did not make our friendship fade; in fact it only proved that our friendship is one that will endure always. Then, you decided to transfer to UCLA. You have no idea how happy that made me. And then, we became housemates. I ' ve never had a better housemate than you. I ' ll never forget: cooking, grocery, Dunkin Donut runs at the Mobil gas station, clubbing, annual LAS VEGAS trips, coffee highs and coffee withdrawals, infamous parties (particularly your surprise 21st B-day party), Figuring Skating exibition (I finally got to see Kristi! - thanks), white cheddar popcorn, my enchilada (we could never finish), Yearbook (again), road trip to San Francisco Berkeley (where this picture was taken from - by the way, you ' ll get that photo mug soon, don ' t you think you ' ll get away from that), Tijuana, Magic Mountain, movies and more movies, Thai food, long talks that I really needed. Someone just recently told me that no matter what you do in life, whether you succeed, fail, stray from the path or make it all the way down that yellow brick road, it ' s the family and good friends that you make that defines the person you are and the true happiness you experience in life. In reflection, I see and feel now that I ' ve never had a better friend than you. Anh, you ' re the truest of friends and I love you for being mine tor so many years and for so many years to come. Congratulations on your graduation. You deserve all the happiness in the world. With all my love, Quan Dear Jessica, What I ' ll remember most about college is the good friends that I ' ve met. YOU certainly are one that has made these past few years so cherishable. It has been a long time since I ' ve met a friend who has touched my life and heart so deeply. You ' ve shown me what a true friend embodies - and that someone is you. How can I ever forget: movies and more movies, your popcorn accidents, donuts!, conspiracies , our bizarre topics for conversation, Vivaldi Ristorante (your B-day), hot dogs at Century City, late night drives down Pacific Coast Highway, even more bizarre topics for conversation, La Gente late nights when you guys adopted me, trying to study late night at Fama, trying to study at various bookstores coffee shops (but always ending up talking again), late nights at the office, and your shoulder always there for me to lean on. Jessica, you have become so dear to me. It was you who told me that true happiness is not measured by money or success, but by the good people- friends and family - you have around you. Because of you, I am very happy. You ' ve always pushed me to succeed, but you ' ve also always reminded me about what is most important. You ' ve made me laugh, cry, question the uncertain, helped me to stand taller and stronger. You believed in my abilities and always was the first to campaign for me. You ' re a strong person - brave, loving, generous, hilariously biting in your wit and sarcasm, and always very special to me. Congratulations on your graduation. And remember, I ' ll always love you. Love, Quan To Steve Seiden Congratulations !!! You did it !!! We are so very proud of you, not only for your achievements but also for your honesty, kindness, thoughtfulness and determination. God bless you with health, wisdom, common sense, and love, compassion, good friends, perseverance and luck.

May 302 Before After much anticipation, our new mascot was finally unveiled on January 24, 1996. With the accompaniment of the UCLA Band, the new Joe Bruin was presented to the UCLA community by senior Volleyball extraordinaire, Jennifer Ann Johnson, and senior football defensive lineman, George Kase. Even the traditional Joe and Josephine Bruin were there to welcome the new arrival. I like our new mascot, said Jen Reyes, a first year Political Science major. It ' s a cool way to rejuvenate school spirit. Since 1919, UCLA ' s mascot, the famous Joe Bruin, has survived a number of transformations. Joe Bruin ' s current look has been on ASUCLA ' s drawing board for ten months. ASUCLA ' s cohorts in the project were the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the UCLA Alumni Association. With the meticulous care and dedication characteristic of all Bruins, the three organizations hired a professional research firm to gather the opinion of students, faculty, staff, and season ticket-holders regarding the new mascot. It was time to update Joe ' s look, said Carol Anne Smart, chief operating officer and director of retail operations for the UCLA Student Store. Like many other public and private universities these days, our goal is to take our graphic image and mascot to a level that can move us into the next century. We believe the updated look provides an exciting new addition to our Bruin family. Our mascot reconstruction project cost a whooping $40,000 (financed by ASUCLA, but includes, along with the new Joe, a new Josephine premiering during the ne t football srason. and a lit Joe Bruin). The new Joe ' s look was refined by the McKiernan Studio, Inc. (also known as Studio M) of Long Beach. Studio M, whose prestigious list of clients include the Disney Store, Warner Brothers, the NFL, and MCA Universal, labored on Joe ' s design for five months. The sports media was an enthusiastic supporter of the new Joe. The new Joe was visible to the entire nation during the nationally televised UCLA-Louisville basketball game on Saturday, January 27. In addition to the pre-game program, 8,000 new Joe Bruin masks were provided for fans during the game held in Pauley Pavilion. We ' re excited about the appearance of the new Joe Bruin, said Jim Harrick, the UCLA Men ' s Basketball head coach. We hope he roars every time we slam dunk in Pauley Pavilion. In appreciation for the smiles and cheers of countless Bruin fans, the traditional Joe and Josephine Bruin did not disappear right away. For the remainder of this year, the couple went into semi-retirement, appearing side-by-side with the new Joe Bruin during special functions. The transformations of our beloved mascot reflects our university ' s changing mentality. For the true Bruin at heart, Joe will forever symbolize an indomitable school spirit and pride. Whatever steps are taken to reconfigure, redraw, redesign the UCLA logo, Joe Bruin s sunny, yet tough and competitive, demeanor will never fail to safeguard and guide us through the endless cycle of construction, the perils of finals week, the attainment of countless national championships,.... F Joe Goes for a Makeover After months of sketching and contemplating a new look for UCLA ' s beloved mascot, an exciting and spirited face emerged.

Ramogi 248 Humphrey, Erin 298 Michael Dukakis lectures in one of two classes he taught on campus this year. Both classes had excessivley long wait lists. Stephanie Qiao Daily Bruin Often times, past presidential candidates who once ran for office seem to vanish from the political scene and the public eye. Then, there are others who use their experience to educate those who are interested in politics, public service, and bureaucracy. One such man is Michael Dukakis, the Democratic candidate in the presidential elections of 1988. Dukakis was appointed professor at UCLA, where he lectured on The American Presidency and Public Policy and the California Economy. His classes, part of the new School of Public Policy and Social Welfare, were popular courses during the winter quarter. Dukakis became interested in politics in his late teen years when American values were substantially different from today ' s. He was involved with politics since 1963 and was elected governor of Massachusetts from 1986 to 1990. In 1988 he attained the Democratic bid for presidency with Lloyd Bensten as his running mate. The ' 88 elections was marked with mudslinging campaigns which impeded his chances. Along with his involvement with politics, Dukakis has always been a prime supporter of education. Among the list of universities where he has lectured are Harvard, Rutgers University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of Hawaii. He currently holds a professorship at Northeastern University in his hometown of Boston, where he teaches year-round, including summers. Teaching at UCLA gave him the chance to work with acclaimed professors and be closer to his family living on the west coast. I think anyone who has been in politics a long time should teach, and educate and encourage the young people to go into public service, Dukakis said. Besides teaching his classes, Dukakis also speaks to students at numerous forums and programs. Whenever he could, he spoke to young people about his political career and experiences. One night Dukakis went to Sproul Hall and talked with over 30 residents to give insight and answer any relevant questions. The discussion was informal, but informative. Pamela Roa, a second year English major and a Program Assistant who put together the discussion, said, Michael Dukakis was surprisingly down to earth. He came in, sat right down, and answered our questions honestly and openly, just like any other person. Dukakis ' s classes were both very small in size, making them very concentrated courses. The American Presidency gave an in- depth look at the chief executives role. The second class, one which focused on California ' s economy and public policy, was taught by both Dukakis and UCLA Professor Daniel Mitchell. Students were relieved to see Dukakis as a real person with a sense of humor and not the stereotypical cold politician. In his courses, Dukakis emphasized the importance of people participating in public service to confront the challenges faced in today ' s society. Having Michael Dukakis teach at UCLA was a great experience for those who had a chance to hear him speak.

Ws: U.3T . ' - r ! , ! . ,- , . vU arcli Cms is usually held in May, the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. So why did the month of May pass by without the fun, laughter, rides, and games of this traditional :i.A event ' J For the past three years, Mardi Gras has witnessed a substantial decline in revenue. Last year ' s festivities ' loss totaled approximately $20,000. The main purpose of Mardi Gras is to raise money for Unicamp, UCLA ' s official charity organization, and programs run by student counselors for low-income kids . Mardi Gras ' aggregate monetary losses defeated such a noble purpose. Attendance has also been at an unprecedented low since 1991 when an incident occurred, and someone ended up getting arrested. And in 1992, Mardi Gras was canceled due to rioting. Thus, security became a huge issue (this was why Mardi Gras was limited to its weekend time frame). The largest turnout at Mardi Gras was during the 1980s when roughly 80,000 people came and a quarter of a million dollars was donated to Unicamp. Compare this to last year ' s 22,000 participants, and a contribution of only $30,000. A large part of the problem was the lack of student and community support, as well as a shortage of on-campus groups and Greeks to staff booths. I ' m extremely disappointed that Mardi Gras won ' t be happening this year, said Ernae Mothershed, a third year Political Science major who served on the Mardi Gras committee for the past two years as Food Donations Chair and Food Operations Director. It was a great event. This year, Mardi Gras would have been celebrating over 50 years of its role as a major UCLA tradition. Due to Mardi Gras ' astronomically high fixed costs (ride rentals, general maintenance) coupled with equally high insurance liabilities, administrators and various on-campus student organizations took part in a focus group meeting. The gathering was designed to collect student input, and evaluate what was to be done about Mardi Gras. The focus group decided that Mardi Gras, although on hiatus this year, could make a come back. Students expressed that they had every intention of making Mardi Gras a successful fund-raiser for Unicamp. The remedy to Mardi Gras ' ills was some type of restructuring. The completion of such a tremendous undertaking, however, is still very much unknown. In the past, Mardi Gras has been an amazing success, said Julie Tollefson, a Campus Events Commissioner. We need to provide an event that can re-create the high volume of energy that once used to revolve around Mardi Gras. Students are still committed, and are brainstorming a lot of ideas. f AThe Carousel remained one of Mardi Gras ' biggest attractions. Both adults and childen looked forward to riding and getting the best view of the entire Mardi Gras field. In Mardi Gras ' best years, it was often difficult to walk around the field because there were so many participants.

Srdjan 293 Myers, Boh 268 Myers, Frank 447 Story by Elizabeth Ashford, Ten Percent staff writer The soldier in Huong Nguyen emerges when she speaks about the military. Her back straightens, her shoulders square, and suddenly its easy to imagine this woman giving orders. It is almost a year after Nguyen came out to the military, and a week before she comes out to the rest of the world. Flanked by her partner All in their Brentwood apartment, Huong Nguyen tells her side of the story for the first time. When did you join the military? After high school, I joined the National Guard and went to boot camp. When I arrived at UCLA I found out I could be an officer, I could be a leader, so I joined ROTC in addition to drilling every month with the National Guard. The summer of my sophomore year I went off to Advanced Individual Training and became a combat medic. What was the military ' s policy on homosexuality when you joined? It was in ' 92 and they explicitly asked you, ' are you a homosexual, do you intend to engage in any homosexual acts? ' and I said no, because I was still straight identified. How did you get to the point of writing the letter in spring? What made me come out was the fact that I did believe in the army, I did believe what they taught me and one of the criteria to be a good officer is to be honest. I found out that I was gay, or bisexual, and I told them. I couldn ' t handle having to lie. That was my decision, to be honest with myself. But the policy explicitly states, we ' re not going to ask anymore, but you can ' t tell either. If you ' re gay in the military, it ' s illegal, no matter if you tell or not. Il ' they find out, you ' ll be kicked out, if you tell them you ' ll be kicked out. I think that the honesty doctrine they teach you is completely contrary to Don ' t ask, Don ' t tell. Being gay and not being able to tell is like contradicting what you ' ve already learned. Back to the timeline. When was the letter written? A little bit before May 8, 1995. A couple of days before that. Briefly, what happened after you sent it? After I gave them the letter, the next day, they put me on leave of absence from military activities, except for attending class. But I couldn ' t participate in Field Training Exercises or Physical Training, any training with the cadets. I had a hearing in front of a board of officers a week or two later to prepare my paperwork for disenrollment. What were your emotional responses when this all came down? Last year I was in a fight-or-flight mode, I had to make quick decisions about my future, I had to protect myself, so I didn ' t give myself a chance to feel anything. So I felt disappointed, I felt a little betrayed by the friends that were against me. But at that moment I didn ' t really feel the impact of it, until a couple of days ago. A week or so ago, I had time to really sit down and re-evaluate what happened. I got very, very upset and felt betrayed. Because I worked hard, (quietly) It ' s a little difficult for me to talk about this. I cried the other night, not because of them discharging me, but because I spent three years sweating, working, trying to achieve this goal and all my work has not paid off. What are you waiting for now with the military? To be discharged? I ' ve been on edge, I ' ve been under stress for almost a year now with this whole coming out and being discharged. I just want some kind of finality. I said I wouldn ' t sue them because I don ' t have the time or the resources. But I want an honorable discharge because I feel that I served honorably, so I deserve an honorable discharge. Were you proud to be in the army? Yes, I identified myself as a soldier and as a future leader. I used to a question of think all the time about when I ' d become commissioned, in my fourth year. And I would be very proud, and I would envision everything that would happen, my mom on the right side, my dad on the left side, they would both pin the bars on me. And it was pride to me, it was something I was proud of. How does it effect you if you ' re NOT discharged honorably? It effects my employment and my application to medical school. Because if you say you were in the military, they ' d ask you how you were discharged medical, honorable, general. If I was discharged dishonorably or with a general discharge, I mean, that ' s a character description of me, and how I served. Giving a indication that I didn ' t work as hard or something. What do you hope your coming out will accomplish? My plan in coining out is to have a chance to validate my sexuality, and for awareness. A lot of times you hear stories about people serving actively in the military who are discharge, and it ' s far away from a lot students. And me coming out, as a student, would really hit it home for a lot of them. I like the program, and it serves a lot of purposes for a lot of students who cannot get to college on their own. They need to rely on a scholarship. A lot of minorities get a chance to do that, and poor students. But it ' s a shame that gay students don ' t have that opportunity to go to college on (an ROTC) scholarship. It sounds like you ' re supportive of an organization (ROTC) that has wrecked your life. Why? The policy isn ' t made by ROTC. It ' s made by those generals, and the President, and the politicians. They ' re the ones I ' m disappointed in. I want to attack the national ban, address the politicians. They need to look at tliis as not just a political move. You ' re dealing with people ' s lives. Do you think you can have an effect on the national policy? I want to, but I don ' t think I can single-handedly do it. I thing its a group effort, I mean, I ' m not leading the way. People must become socially aware and conscious, and vote for politicians who will change the policy. I ' m just a little pawn in this chess game. Politicians are knights who can jump 2 and 1 over, and I ' m just a pawn. I can only move one step at a time, f Article is reprinted in Bruin Life Yearbook with permission from Ten Percent, UCLA ' s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Newsmagazine.

Chuck Young was a giant among university chancellors. His influence within the University of California and nationally will forever be felt, C. Peter Magrath Charles Kuo YOUNG ' S RETIREMENT Story by Sue Wichayanuparp On February 16, Chancellor Charles Young publicly announced his retirement to UCLA ' s entire student body. After serving office for 27 years, Chancellor Young confirmed that he will step down from his position as Chancellor in June 1997. In addition to his duties and numerous accomplishments as Chancellor, Young has left behind a legacy of active involvement in various other programs. During the 1984 Olympics, he succeeded in establishing UCLA as a focal point of the Olympic games by working closely with Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberoth. Furthermore, Young currently serves on Intel Corporation s board of directors and maintained several posts in the National Collegiate Athletics Association. Because of his continuing efforts to improve UCLA, it was a disappointment to many that Chancellor Young would be vacating his position. His pending departure from office was felt by those who knew him and worked with him. Chuck Young was a giant among university chancellors. His influence within the University of California and nationally will forever be felt, commented C. Peter Magrath, President of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. Not only did Chancellor Young ' s announcement of retirement affect University officials, but members of UCLA ' s student body were impacted as well. Numerous students expressed their surprise at his upcoming withdrawal from office. Although Chancellor Young ' s retirement marks the end of an era, he assures everyone that he will continue to be an integral part of the UCLA community. He declared his intention to remain active in UCLA ' s $1 billion fund-raising campaign. He stated that he would like to raise 30-50% of this goal before publicly implementing the campaign. With his exit from office, Young also voiced his hope to have more time for educational reform in both California and on a national level. Moreover, Young would like to see the establishment of the Responsibility Center Management program on campus, a system that would dramatically alter the way in which UCLA funds are spent by holding on campus organizations responsible for their own resource allocations. Additionally, Chancellor Young would like to fill the several vacancies in the top levels of UCLA ' s administration before his departure. Through over a quarter of a decade as UCLA ' s Chancellor, Charles Young has relendessly worked to build upon UCLA ' s already prestigious reputation. He referred to his most important achievement as the establishment of UCLA as an elite research university. As a result of Young ' s endeavors, the quality of UCLA ' s faculty, facilities, research, and students has been greatly improved. Though UCLA will feel a great loss due to Chancellor Young ' s departure, his contributions to our establishment will never be forgotten, f Calendar . 439 Rodney, Lee 248 Rodrigues, Kristina 323 Rodriguez, Claudia M. 215 Rodriguez, Jeannine 336 Rodriguez, Racheal 215 Rofer, Brian 279 Rogers, Laura 323 Rohme, Mike 248 Rokhsar, Sepehr215 Rolefson, David 215 Roman, Erika 215 Romar, Lorenzo 268 Romero, Isadora 2 15 Romero, Marcelle R. 336 Romero, Rachelle 342 Rondestvedt, Kelly 323 Ronquillo, Kathleen 215 Ronsaville, Rebecca 274 Roques, Aaron 248 Roques, Ryan 248, 289 Rosati, Rachel 315 Rose, Brian 215 Rosebaugh, Jason 215 Rosen-Hoehle, Courtney 53 Rosenbaum, Howard 216 Rosenbaum, Stacey 332 Rosenberg, Julie 327 Rosendale, Pamela 336 Rosniale, Scott 306 Rossi, Ruth 216 Roth, Katharin 253 Rothberg, Debbie 343 Rottennan, Terri 312 Roundtree, Jenna 315 Rowe, Grace 216 Rowley, Megan 216 Rozo, Monica 216 Ruan, Peter 216 Rubaum, Heather 332 Rubinstein, Efi 332 Rubio, Chris 248 Rubio, Maritza 216 Rucker, Monte 34 Ruckman, Jeff 248 Rudolph, Kelly 294 Rue, Jennifer 216 Ruffin, Marsha 216 Ruiz, Lavin 341 Ruiz, Sheldrin 444 Runciman, Ian 341 Rustamova, Inga 216 Ryan, Jenny 70, 127 Ryan, Rocel 444 Rye, Amber 312 Rymsza, Catherine 216 Rynearson, David 35 sssSsss Sabarini, John 178,216 Sacay, Tanya 217 Sachs, David 268 Sacilioc, Rachelle 217 Safarian, Khachik Chris 339 Safavi, Nicolle 344 Sager, Julie 343 Sahagian, Jack Joseph 339 Saharian, Varoujan 339 Sailer, Chris 248 Sakheya, Shelley 84 Salazar, Jr..

MCU9I %.4-s 7 ir many face of Orenthal James Simpson. Throughout the trial, OJ Simpson was seen in many different ways by the judicial system and by the public. He was seen as a hero, a victim, and an aggressor. Associated Press Till? Trial Of Story by Michelle Banta T T That began with the discovery of the murders of late ex-wife Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman VVin June of 1994, soon became a sensationalized issue. Newspapers, news networks, and tabloids alike, focused all their attention on OJ Simpson, the famed former football player and actor. The mass media has been growing crazy in its coverage of sensational crimes. The OJ Simpson case took this trend to the extreme. Of the many concerns that this raises, maybe the most important is the extent to which other news is pushed to the periphery. In one issue, the LA Times actually devoted more space to the OJ Trial than to all other national and international news combined. What about the responsibilty of the media to keep us informed? commented Professor Michael Suman, of the Communications Department. After eight months of deliberation and testimony, not to mention the incessant media coverage, the famed Trial of the Century finally came to a halt. Early morning on October 22, 1995, the Jurors of the OJ Simpson Trial reached a verdict: aquitted. Among the crowd watching the verdict on television, reactions varied. While some rejoiced on Simpson ' s behalf, others questioned whether justice was served for the victims. According to Suman, For me, actually, the most important result of the OJ Trial is that it showed how black and white Americans have radically different perceptions about America and its criminal justice system. f UCLA ' s Reaction to Rabin ' s Assassination Yitzhak Rabin led Israel through war and towards peace. His death on November 4 by an assassin ' s bullet disturbed and astonished the world. Courtesy of Israel Africa Bulletin Story by Rebecca Blustein Julie Sager, Ha ' atn Staffwriters Since the shocking assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin on November 4, 1995, Jews around the world have struggled to deal with the murder and with their own feelings about it. Here at UCLA, students and faculty alike have attempted to cope with this very troublesome event. In doing so, they have expressed several different views on both the assassination and on Rabin ' s politics. Most people on campus, whether or not they agreed with Rabin ' s policies, found the murder disturbing and abhorrent. It is shocking and bewildering that a proponent of the peace process would be gunned down by a Jew. Rabin was a great military leader who himself came to realize that peace was more important than a few parcels of land, said Brett Weil, a second year English student. The assassination depressed and worried many students and faculty. It was as if a great gloom, a pallor, had spread over the Jewish people, said Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, the UCLA Hillel director. The assassination of Rabin was not merely experienced as a bullet intended to wreck the peace process, but as a bullet in the heart of Judaism. Seidler-Feller added that he saw many students who seemed disoriented and sad in the days following the assassination. At the UCLA memorial, more than a hundred faculty and students gathered at die top of the Janss Steps to grieve for Rabin. Speakers at the event focused on the need for unit) ' among Jews, the necessity for people everywhere to understand that violent words can incite people to violence, and the sad irony that a warrior turned peace-maker should be murdered at a peace rally. Another focus of many speeches was the irreversible change the event has wrought on Israel. I never thought this moment would come to Jews, one alumnus said. We just became like the rest of the world. The state of Israel will never be the same. f Article is reprinted in Bruin Life Yearbook with permission from Ha ' Am, UCLA ' s Jewish Newsmagazine.

With Hollywood just east of UCLA, the countless movie theaters surrounding the school for miles, and performing arts centers for live music and theater performances just nearby gave Bruins no excuse to miss a good show. This past year, the movie industry presented various genres ranging from a piglets adventure in the movie Babe to the love life of a meek and gentle postman in the Italian film, II Postino , both were among the Oscar nominees for Best Picture. The film industry also explored the world of literature. English majors could see Shakespeare ' s Richard III and Kenneth Branaugh s Othello on the silver screen. Fans of the Romantic period of literature enjoyed Jane Austen s Sense and Sensibility. The comedy Clueless was based upon another adaptation of Austen ' s works entitled Emma. Taking a historical perspective, Ron Howard brought audiences into a small space pod in Apollo 13 , while Disney cranked out the movie Pocahontas (though it strayed from historical fact). Disney also made history with its movie Toy Story ' , the first computer animated full length motion picture. With so many movies, only a few left their mark as the Oscar winners for 1995-96. Braveheart was chosen as Best Picture over the other nominees including II Postino , Babe , Apollol3 , and Sense and Sensibility . Susan Sarandon won her first Oscar for Best Actress for performance in Deadman Walking . First-time nominee Nicolas Cage also won his first Oscar for Best Actor in Leaving Las Vegas . Mira Sorvino ' s breakthrough performance earned her her first nomination and win for her supporting role in Mighty Aphrodite ; and Kevin Spacey won Best Supporting Actor in The Usual Suspects . The Best Song was Pocahontes ' Colors of the Wind. While cameras rolled in the movie industry, the band played on in the music world. During the 38th annual Grammy Awards, newcomer Alanis Morissette ' s Album Jagged Little Pill took home four awards which included, Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album. The artist Seal was also honored Best Male Pop Vocal and Record of the Year for Kiss From a Rose . On television, the sensationalized sitcom Friends continued its success and reached the top of the ratings as thousands tuned in to watch the antics of Monica, Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe. Thursday nights gave NBC a huge audience with Friends leading the pack and ER in the 10-1 1pm time slot ending the must see TV night. While the major networks drew most of the ratings, dedicated fans of FOX continued to watch the crazy, mixed-up lives of the residents of Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place. For those who preferred to stray from the tube every now and then, attended numerous live performances. The Broadway Musical Beauty and the Beast played at the Schubert Auditorium and the nearby Geffen Playhouse held smaller plays. With so much happening in the entertaiment world, there was a little something for everyone. Hollywood produced yet another memorable year of ecclectic movies, innovative music, and popular television shows.

Diane Dirino, Page Kishiyanta, Arati Murti. 1 could iiefer hare asked far a better, more supportive, professional, and definitely crazy editorial staff than you guys. Diane, that endless summer when you so responsibly and enthnsiastical ly stationed yourself at the Freshman Orientation Activities Fair. Thank you so much. Okay, I know this is an eye soar, but I had a lot to say. So, please, bare with me... I was just recently asked to re-examine the goals that I set out for myself and my staff at the beginning of tin c.ir. Htm were tin 1 hunk sates? What (In tin- finant:ial statements say? Were ytmr de nlliin- intf ' J Did you get a yi fl ' ni i ufthe market? etc. etc. And through this re-examination, I came to see that the one most important accomplishment for Bruin Life at the end was the incredible staff that I came to constantly and always be in awe of and have come to love so much. They came together wholeheartedly and created something vital for the student body and UCLA as a whole for years to come. So beyond the dollars, the sales receipts, and all the rest, the staff was my number one priority, because if it wasn ' t for all of you. Bruin Life would not exist. The friends I ' ve made - yon guys all mean so much to me... Ken - it seems appropriate tliat I thank you first. You are Bmin Life ' s only true veteran this year - four years in a row! I low did you survive this for all these past years? What you brought to me and the staff was something I don ' t think anyone else could. You made everyone feel not only welcomed when they came into the office, but you made people want to come to the o ffice. Now that ' s a feat! How did you do that? It ' s because of your wit, your laughter, your easy smile, your generosity, your hard work - by being a great example to the rest of us. Everyone on staff just really loves you. It will be a long time and a rare occasion when someone can fill your shoes. You were my right-hand and my left-hand man. You finished projects and tasks before I even asked you to do them. (And you always had a choice). And you made all the right choices, my friend. Thank you. (Oh, someone on sales staff told me to say this: Ken, you the Pimp Daddy! ) Ann - Thank you for taking such a strong role in the business part of the yearbook. Always a constant worry for me was the money matters. But, you eased a great deal of that by staying on top of the sales. You know that you have always been a very special part of my life. In this past year, you ' ve grown more and more special in my heart. Like I said before, you ' re family to me. And family is the most important thing in my life. Diane - You had such great ideas. I know that you were very busy this year. But, you never stopped working hard with the little time you had. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Diane, you have so much to offer and all those firms are sure to hire you. Rocel - You did SOOOOO much this year. Far beyond what I expected of you at the beginning. Goodness, you wrote, copy edited, made photo requests, went out on hundreds of photo shoots, called thousands of contact people for stories, and made millions of funny cracks at my expense (j k). Stop laughing at me. man. So, hey, when are you going to have that shot with me? Anita - Boy, were you a lift--sa t-r this year. I know it was really short notice and everything, but thank you for taking on the responsibilities of copy editing. You, know, the one aspect that I never worried about this whole year (and you know that I worry about a lot of things), are the stories. You two made such an incredible team. Thank you. LeeAnn - Sports improved so much because of you. You had a -ision for it. and you kept checking me. making sure that I helped you to achieve that vision. You worked so. so hard. At times, I felt so bad, even defeated because I didn ' t know how to make your job easier. But, that didn ' t matter to you. You just didn ' t let anything or anyone stop you from finishing your job the best it can be. You should be very proud. I am very proud of you. We had some good times, and we had some hard times. But. through it all, I found that it was all worth it because you were always there. Arati - How many editors have said this to you? Thank you for taking over the Groups section. You ' ve proven to me without a doubt and with all the praise in the world that you are one of the strongest, most important aspect of Bruin Life. Thank you, ever so much. (Hey, just kick me the next time you see me on campus and I have my walknian on). Vicki - When I panicked that we did not have enough pages for the Greeks, you came in and just sold four more pages, just like that. You always left me in awe when you do things like that. Thanks. Max - You ' ve been our Photo Editor for so long. I remember that Bruin Life began to first breathe life back into itself and began to get back on its feet again years ago when you first took over the reigns as Photo Editor. Since then. Bruin Life gets better and better each year, and its because of editors like you; particularly you because photography is so much of what the yearbook is. Thanks. Max. Jeff - Gosh, where do I begin to thank you. You ' ve taken such a major (and I mean MAJOR) role in Bruin Life this year. Thank you for your professionalism, for your beautiful photograph} ' , for your opinion, for your trust in me, for Tito ' s, for helping me clean the office at nights, for being the only other person who stays in the office longer (did everybody catch that - someone actually stays in the BL office longer than I do), for Monterey Park runs and all those other late night food runs, for teaching me how to print and a better understanding and appreciation for T Layout Staff: (left to right) Adrienne Martinez, Page Kishiyama (Assistant Layout Editor), Joy Yuson (Layout Editor), Ernae Mothershed.

As much as a yearbook is often regarded as a picture book, it would mean very little without the stories. Be proud, you guys, that years from now, people will look through this book and not only see but feel all the memories of UCLA - because of your stories.

I learned so much more this year about photography, about printing, developing, content... so much. And it was so important and beneficial for me to learn about photography because, for the most part, I became pickier about photos. And I owe it to you guys. Ann ' s 21st and Joy ' s 20th birthdays. That was so much fun, and yes, everyone, I do remember everything that happened that night. Rumors! All rumors! V What would a day in the office be without food and cups, endless amounts of cups, everywhere?. I liked the fact that everyone felt comfortable and had fun using the office as a place to unwind, eat and chew-the- greasyfat. The Sales Staff: (left to right) Ann Dang (Sales Manager), Gail Cervantes, Kristi Kraemer, Lauren Milligan, Sharia Reep, Diane Divino (Marketing Director) (Not pictured): Shannon Colton, ' Yvonne Chang. Ya all so CRAZY!. ..When I ' m on edge, which was a lot of times, you guys cracked me up and brought a genuine laugh and smile out me - without fail. I really will miss you A. Sharla, when I saw this picture, I had to immortalize it. I ' m not Y-factor (or the Yearbook factor), something that makes you love it and work so hard for it. (Admit it! You know it ' s true). Immediately, you became an indispensable part of Bruin Life. Sheldrin - I remember the first time I met you was almost two years ago. Then, I was taking your picture for the undergrad section, and you asked me if you could join staff then. I said that the staff was full at the moment. STUPID ME! I ' m so glad that you remembered me and came to look for me and joined the yearbook this year. Ernae - Thank you for staying all those late nights. Only a select number of (fools - j k) people always stay those nights. Hey, whose going to wake you up in lecture when we don ' t have class together? Cherry - You seemed to have a lot more fun this year and I ' m so happy to see that. Hey, you stayed a lot of late nights, too; that shows it right there. I knew that your place was really in layout, because your ideas and attention to detail shined in your layouts. Kerry - 1 know you came in late during the year, but immediately you put 8 ave to im ui 1 J OU in a lot of effort and helped me out greatly (especially when I just couldn ' t write another stupid caption), could probably guess Thanks. Michelle Banta - Rocel said to me on many occasions that you have incredible creativity and style easily enough,. lOU in your writing, and I certainly agree with her. When I edit, I always look forward to reading your stories. J totally craCK me up. Richard - A couple of your stories just cracked me up. Underneath that seemingly shy person, I know stalks a terror of wit and character. Sue - Rocel and Anita kept saying to me the whole year: Man, Sue - she ' s so cool. She always has her stories together. You never have to worry about her. I never take statements like that for granted, and I appreciate your commitment and diligence greatly. Adrienne - None of us could stop you from working so much, taking on so many stories. Remember hunting down those volunteers? That was fun. That day showed me that I have someone very valuable on staff. Beth - You were also someone that I never had to worry about getting their stories in on time. Thank you. Christa - Thanks for giving me all those ideas about the dorms for our Residential Life section. Ivy - How can I thank you for jumping into the water when I needed you to save me from drowning in Greek pages? You practically took care of the whole Greek section. I owe so much to you. Thank you. Grace - LeeAnn and I would like to convey special thanks to you. You were always the first to finish your pages. How did you keep such cool working with all those sports? Sabrina - You ' ve taken a great leap since last year. Whatever happened to the woman who used to say: I hate computers. Can ' t deal with them. And look at you now. LeeAnn and I would really like to thank you for working so hard (even when you were so sick). You made a total difference this year. Clare - I hope that your first year here was fun and worthwhile, because you brought a great deal of value to Bruin Life. LeeAnn kept saying to me what a life-saver you are. Thanks. Billie - Thank you for contributing as much as you can. I know that sometimes it was frustrating. But, thank you for doing what you can. Yvonne - 1 know that you tried your very best. It ' s difficult sometimes. I know, but I believe in you. Gail - How can I convince you that you can do so much more? I see so much talent in you. I really believe that you were meant to do it all (that ' s right, ALL of it). Hey, at the next game, don ' t forget to say Hi to me. By the way, congratulations for selling the most pages this year. Shannon - Weren ' t some groups so difficult? (I shouldn ' t say who. but you know who I ' m talking about). But, hey, they finally bought! Thanks for never giving up. Kristi - Thanks for the diligent work, and hey, when am I going to get my hat? Lauren - You brought such life into the office. And you took up a lot of the marketing jobs that really needed to get done. Plus, you really crack me up. Thanks. Sharia - The sales staff was so hilarious and full of spirit this year. You have no idea how much I needed your sense of humor and fun. Thanks for the hard work and also for making me take time-out to smile and laugh. Michelle Chang - Remember our very first photo shoot and all the consequent ones after that? And those late nights designing your cover letters and projects. They were really fun times. I feel really blessed every time I come across a good friend, and that ' s how I fee! about you. (Hey, I ' ll get an internship soon. Promise). Joy - 1 didn ' t forget you. Never. Oh, Joy, what can I say to someone who ' s grown to mean such a great deal to me. Your talent, skills, creativity and leadership abilities are rare and indispensable. This yearbook would truly have not come together so well had it not been for you. From the Freshman Record to North Carolina South Carolina and through it all, you ' ve made my part in the yearbook so much easier, so much more enjoyable and I ' ve learned so much from you. Plus, I ' ve come to think of you as a dear, dear friend. Thanks for lending an ear and a gentle shoulder to lean on - listening to my troubles, worries and headaches. It means everything in the world to me to have friends like you who _ care so much for me. I promise that I ' ll be there for you Quanzz and Kenzz... Jeff just has too much time on his always - anywhere and anytime and anything. Hey, we ' re hands. This is only one of the many humiliating image Mommy and Daddy on yearbook. I am more than happy to tortures that he set up during the year. return and do everything I can for you and the staff next year. Good luck. I ' m very excited for you. Gary - Didn ' t we have the best seats everytime we went to the theater ? You weren ' t just a support to me this past year, but you took an active, strong role in the theater. Beyond all th at crap, I got to know a friend this year who inspired me, made me question when I thought I had all the answers, and made me laugh. Good luck, my friend. (Yes, we ' ll finish those Robotech tapes yet!) Deanna - Your encouragement, advice and support this past year has meant a lot to me. You ' ve been a role model for me, as I am sure you ' ve been and will continue to be a great role model to many others. You showed me how to push forward - always forward. Who can fill your shoes as Chair of Comm. Board? I am not alone in saying: Thank you for all your heart and devotion. Eric - You ' ve been a real true friend, so much that I really think of you as family. And when you ' re family to me, there ' s nothing I wouldn ' t do for you. Your support, encouragement, your strong shoulder to lean on - your friendship entirely - has meant that my life is good everyday. How and why we became such good friends so quickly was unexpected. Mayl e that just shows how good our friendship really is. I know that not everything and everyone has turned out the 4 Buddy Picture! Joy, you ' re a cooool buddy. What a couple of yearbook nerds we are. Not only did we often think alike, we even dressed alike. ..well, only during this day at the senior spotlight shoots. ' My buddy, my btiddtj find me. ' Deann 446 Bruin Life Staff way you had hoped. Still, I hope that you will always remember that you can always find the best of friend in me. (Hey. here ' s to Fatburger!). Oanh - Do I regret? Yeah, sometimes. Still, though our friendship has seen its ups and downs and sometimes swirling around like a twist of chocolate and vanilla yogurt, we always seem to come back to each other. Why is that? I ' ll always love you. It ' s just that sometimes I ' m too afraid to say so. Chau - We ' ve lost touch somewhat this year. Still, you ' ve always been in my heart. Scott - My e-mail buddy. What I appreciate most about our friendship is that there ' s no pretense to anything. We enjoy the simplest times together, doing the simplest things. Plus, we seem to be able to pull out of the other our worse pains when it is needed to be understood. No answers, no solutions. Just understanding. Adele - You ' ve taught me to understand a lot about my prejudices. And you too do not pretend to have answers - just offering understanding and acceptance. Linda - Little sis ' . I know that mom and dad and the rest of the family are very proud of you, but I know that I am the most proud of you. You have succeeded in so many things already, more than I ever did at your age. But, most importantly, you stood up and did it your way - not dad ' s way, not mom ' s way, not my way, or anyone else ' s way. Your way. I love you and many times, I look up to you. Thi - Speaking of looking up to - for so many years, I ' ve looked up to you, big brother. I see in you something that always kept you strong even in your weakest moments. You ' ve always done things your way, no matter what the outcome was. And not many people can see the value in that, the value in you. I remember one day when dad told you not to take this street, but you just did it anyway. And we got there just about the same time as the old way. And I remember thinking to myself then: Hey, I just experienced something new today - a new way, a different way of getting the same result. It might have taken a little longer, but I learned something new and valuable. You are a constant reminder to me of Robert Frost ' s poem. I think that it is from you that Linda and I get our strength to stand up when it seems we should just sit down and remain quiet. We both love you very much. Anh Kiel - This is the year that you finally graduate from medical school. I know that it was a really long road. At the end, I ' ve always been proud of you. Anh liiau and Chi Thao and little Thao Nhi - Your love for each other has always been an inspiration to me. And little Thao Nhi s arrival this year epitomized that. I only hope that I will one day have what you two have. Ba goai - You ' re so funny. In your most stubborn ways, you ' re still so funny. Thanks for telling me all those stories about Vietnam. (I know you don ' t understand any of this - but I know you understand the words: I love you ). Dad - Thank you for coming to an understanding about my choices in life. I really do love you and will always try to make you proud. Mom - MOM! Well, here I am. 22 years old, now. What have I accomplished? What have I learned? Well, all that I ' ve accomplished and all that I ' ve learned is largely due to you. You are my biggest role mode! - you ' ve always been. You are Superwoman, Supermom. You ' ve taught me the best of values - the most important of which is family. Funny, throughout all these years, through all our stupid little fights. I finally came to understand why we do ever fight. I think it ' s because you and I are a lot 4 Is this a face of a future leader, (or Editor) or alike - and because we love each other so much that we only want the best for each other. what? I learned to give a lot and to love a lot because you do the same. ! love you, mom.

The things I do for you guys. are the ones who push you to succeed and support you when you fall. I know that everyone has heard that before. But, has everyone really heard that before?
