r 1 During the past few years the Chestnut Hill campus has experienced tremendous physical changes. What precipitated this growth? The University was challenged, as were all universities in the 70’ s, first to attract a large number of outstanding applicants in a world where the number of high school students has been declining yearly, and to keep them happy once they arrived. Boston College expanded, not just in size but in the quality of facilities that are offered to all students. Over four years the sound of construction has never ceased. The clamour of the bulldozer and pile diver often seemed to be a substitute for the ring of alarm clocks. The products of this clamour include: a parking garage, a dormitory, a theatre arts center and the beginnings of a central library. These buildings have consumed considerable amounts of open land and not all have been blessed with student approval. The opening of the theatre arts center this fall strengthened the University’s belief in and support of the arts. At last the performing arts has a facility that has long been deserved. The need for South Street and Pine Manor housing was eliminated by 800 beds that the New Dorm provided. The dorm also allowed numerous commuters to become campus residents. For those remaining commuters the garage began to alleviate the parking crunch. Construction on the long-awaited library has just begun and only future classes will be truly able to appreciate the facility. No longer will students roast or freeze in Bapst dungeon, or look in Fulton, then Cushing, then McGuinn, then Gasson, then ... for a place to study. Many students though, lament the fact that the library came at the expense of Hillside hill, St. Mary’s garden, and much needed parking space. Upon completion of the library the campus will have been redefined. J 13

I “The philosophy of the school reflects a firm belief in the education of the total person. As a product of a B.C. education you have not only gained knowledge from books but you have gained knowledge from invaluable experiences.” Patty Cleary, ’82 W r An important part of the college experience is a student’s involvement in extra-curricular activities. Every activity imaginable is available. Never is a student confronted with nothing to do. Students become intensely involved: UGBC sponsored a coalition to place a student trustee on the Board of Trustees, the Heights sued the University over the issue of access to police logs, PULSE once again placed numerous volunteers in social action settings. Involvement was far from superficial. Students on the Educational Policy Committee became involved with issues concerning foreign language requirements and academic dishonesty. Sports — a major time committment commands dedication on the part of our athletes. Students counsel their peers in areas concerning career planning and resume writing, in addition to course selection. Huhdreds of events, from semi-formals to the Book Co-op are directed, organized and run by motivated students interested in education received through experience, as well as education through the classroom. ( Steve Quattrucci, a junior from Portland, ME, works on the layout for the UGBC Newsletter. Senior Patty Raube applies her make-up before appearing as Guenevere in the dramatic society’s production of “Camelot”, while Cecilia Boegel does make-up for Mary Beth Flynn. 14
