6 Dedication Seasons BASINI - A Man of All Basini. What wonderful things I could tell you about the man that he would not tell you himself! Basini would be the first to tell you that he is handsome, charming, witty, a financial genius — an outstanding professor, and above all an enterprising entrepreneur. And his students, of course, agree with him. Yet, underlying this cocky exterior lies the heart of a warm and caring individual. He takes an interest not only in the academic lives of his students, but in their personal lives as well. He is never too busy in that huge office of his to take time out of his schedule to talk to anyone who pops in. Of course, you will be interrupted several times by the telephone or by other people, but he always keeps you there by a quick wink of the eye and a smile on his face. Over the four years that I have known Basini, he has always been the bright spot in my day. Of course, there have been times that I wanted to strangle that little Italian neck of his, but I know that the feeling has been mutual. Business majors are not the only ones that fall under his charms. Sociology, English, and Biology majors all alike know Basini by his jaunty walk, his quick wit, and by the way he calls everyone by the first syllable of their first name. He is truly a favorite around campus. Yet the ones that are really his girls are the seniors. He exemplifies the personality of our class; involved, energetic, caring, and fun-loving. Basini, you have said this year that you don't know what you will do next year without us, but the real question is, what will we do without you? -Susan Tate m

 Student Life Lifestyles change when the transition is made from high school to college. Gone is the day when you always got up early and fixed your hair and make-up just right for that special guy in history class. Now, you have to choose whether to push the snooze button a few more times or roll out of bed, and slip on sweats and run to class. Mom and Dad are gone, they are no longer there to make your decisions. No one tells you whether to participate in orientation activities, go through sorority rush, to run for class president, and never do you hear, get up, it is time for class! (unless you have one GREAT roommate) It is now all up to you! You have to set your own priorities and goals to achieve. Your ability to strive for excellence on the Queens campus can make or break you, not only academically but socially. There are many opportunities to take advantage of during college and if they are taken seriously they can provide a lot of satisfaction. Nothing is more rewarding than being an orientation leader, singing in the Queens Choir, serving at the Moravian Love Feast, being in the fall drama, or writing for the Queens Current; just to name a few, blit the decisions are YOURS. Graduation is a long way from the Queens Connection and the decisions get even more difficult to make — like whether to finish your term paper that is due Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. or go to the beach with the buds.
