It can be read as you would read a chemistry book, seeing only facts and figures, taking everything at face value. But look again. It is your story. Perhaps the year went by too quickly for you to piece it all together. There were too many people . . . too much was happening. And yet as the story unfolds you realize while so much was done, there is so much left to do.

Like the Greek mythological character, Sisyphus, just as you rolled your rock to the top of the mountain, it would fall back, leaving you to start all over again. You had so much within your grasp this year— freedom, involvement, love, knowledge — and yet you were often not quite satisfied. This year was the reality of living. It was the dreary dampness of a misty fall afternoon and it was spring ' s lavish green rebirth. It was both. % ' ' ' ' 5i. ' It was being frustrated over the lack of campus political interest, especially during this presidential election. The 18-year-old vote? Big deal! And it was proudly marking that big dark X next to the name of the man you were choosing to run our country. It was blue jeans and flannel shirts, and it was long dresses and that once-a-year suit to dances at Peony Park. It was both of these. nmitrtmaflsv It was working out on the dormitory exercise machines every night. And it was getting the munchies so badly you just had to hit the Pancake House even if it was two a.m. It was being a town student and feeling out of it because you didn ' t live in the dorm. And it was living in a residence hall, all the while trying desperately to get off-campus. For the first time, 19-year-olds could legally drink. Liquor was allowed in the dorm. It was Nuncio ' s, the Observatory, Farquahr ' s and ' ' Hey, when we ' re tired of this bar, let ' s finish that wine in my room. It was also the Community Service Center, people needing other people. It was the Blood Drive and the Food for Hunger Drive. It was both of these; all of these. 11 ■ a  • ,«- : i;v It was finally doing what you always wanted to do, a start on a career. It was getting up at six in the morning to begin your day as a nurse by seven. It was a student teacher hovering over 25 eager nine-year-olds. It was also uncertainty about what to do with your life. ' 7 like math, but I don ' t want to teach it. What should I do? It was playing a thousand roles, acting out the parts expected of the typical 7972 college student. And it was being yourself, knowing that even if you made a mistake, you made it on your own. It was reaching and sometimes attaining. But at least it was reaching. 12 - -v- - i,.f % .tf .-; v jgt PfiP t: 13 ■m % - ,■„, , ' ' ' ■ , V 1 J i i i5 k i ' ■ ' ' ' i M ' f , - f t ' ' ' Allj l fie Ik Hue J ' -e « . 5 f Controversy fades as students go slower This year was the public relations depart- ment ' s dream. Stud ents had become students again. Alumni Library was jammed every night of the week. Student dress, once confined to blue jeans and Army jackets, blossomed out into checkered flares, and the skirt returned to the classroom. The 1950s influence was everywhere, as the activist 1960s were pushed to the sidelines. But everything was not the same as when our parents went to college. If the ' SO ' , meant obedience, and unquestioning acceptance of the status quo and the simple pleasures of being in college, the ' 70s are not at all the same. — Newsweek, Nov. 6, 1972 In recent years it was come to Creighton and get involved. Sit-ins, student strikes, moratoriums — it ' s hard to believe all these occurred just two short years ago. It was not the innocence of the ' 50s that prevailed, it was more an escape from the frenetic activity of the late ' 60s. We ' re not going to stir up controversy just to fill the pages of Creightonian We ' re going to work through the system to get what we want. — Tim Lannon, President Student Board of Governors Three years ago these words would have been heretical to the student who wanted to get something done. This year, Lannon ' s statement expressed the prevalent mood on campus, as student-administration battles were confined to committee meetings instead of the quadrangle. And the Creightonian had a hard time filling its pages. What had happened to all the controversial issues? Most had been dulled by either change or simply the passage of time. Alcohol was legal in the dorms, and open-dorms were taken for granted. Many more stu- dents were allowed off-campus than in the past and the Vietnam war was no longer a major issue. 18-year- olds had voting rights, but even youth-oriented George McGovern could not spur strong student interest, though he did get a majority of Creighton student votes. The usage or non-usage of the once-controversial marijuana weed was no longer charged with emotion: some smoked it, many did not. It did not drastically split students as many feared it would. If students were concerned about anything, it was not the idealistic ambiguities of the past, but rather the pressing realities of the future. Specifically: jobs. Hav- ing discovered that a college diploma no longer guaran- teed a ready income, students concentrated on the books, leaving activism to others. It was often easier to sit back and watch things happen than to get out and do. Our task as responsible teachers is no longer to urge stu- dents to take up more boldly radical positions, to let go of traditional safeguards, intellectual, moral, social, it is to ask them to be more cautious, to be sure they have really read the book, to give what they condemn a fair hearing, to go slower, to distrust their own passion I — Father Labaj Students definitely went slower this year. Books and beer, not demonstrations and drugs, were the rule. Whether this was a passing fad, or the beginning of a new trend in student attitudes, remained to be seen. 16 The Board s low-key proiile brought criticism from first-semester Creightonian Editor Laura Reinig, who was asked to appear at a Board meeting and explain her editorial policy Though the election failed to generate much enthusiasm, many students did take advantage of their new voting rights Many more took advantage of the new alcohol regu- lation on campus 17 Incoming freshmen find ' personal touch ' Getting accustomed to a new way of life can be a difficult and often bewildering experience, especially for those who are leaving the parental nest for the first time. In an effort to acclimate new students, Creighton annually schedules a week of orientation filled with conferences, speeches, and all kinds of academic, social, and recreational activities, and calls it Welcome Week. Newcomers hardly had a chance to get settled before they were bundled off to President ' s teas, wel- coming speeches, faculty-student conferences, campus tours and various other introductory activities. Adding a personal touch to orientation, several upperclass students volunteered their time as group orientation leaders. During the week they met with the incoming freshmen, providing invaluable assistance from their own personal experiences at Creighton, try- ing to make the transition to college life just a little bit easier. To help students get acquainted, a wide variety of social events was also scheduled. Students were treated to a Casino Night, Soul Night, a Night at the Bitter End and an outdoor concert in the East quad. The Freshmen Sports Day and Picnic highlighted the weekend. Instead of the usual concert to conclude the week, the Student Board scheduled Rep. Paul McCloskey (R. -Calif.) as guest speaker. While parents assessed Creighton over a cup of tea. new students got down to the more important business of meet- ing future friends on the observatory steps. 18 As Michelle Stark and Mary Fluder assess their prospective teachers (top), Dr Brehm of the Modern Languages department extols the virtues of German during the new student-faculty get-together in upper Brandeis. Sue Sprott leads a rousing exercise in hand-clapping to break the ice at the President ' s Tea 19 Social events highlight Welcome Week Casino night was the most popular event during Welcome Week, drawing a crowd of about 500 to upper Brandeis 21 22 Maverick McCloskey urges party reform Rep. Paul McCloskey Jr. (R. -Calif.), unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for the presi- dency, spoke to an overflow crowd of about 500 persons in upper Brandeis, closing out Welcome Week. His speech was entitled Youth and the American Political System. McCloskey, a liberal in a generally conservative party, placed himself squarely at odds with the policy of the Nixon Administration. Citing a need for income tax reform, he claimed that small business was at a dis- advantage compared to large corporations. He also advocated more hones ty in reporting campaign contri- butions saying that he was ashamed that his party must be so secretive. In the question-and-answer period, McCloskey was asked about President Nixon ' s handling of the war. He replied that the Nixon administration had been com- petent but not very compassionate or sensitive. He said Nixon had managed to quiet the people ' s con- cern, but that if the President found himself in politi- cal danger there might be a negotiated settlement by the election in November. Other questions dealt with support of Senator George McGovern, the Democratic candidate. McClos- key would not commit himself to either candidate, but said that at the present time he could not support the President. When asked how his liberalism would affect his own political future, he replied, Probably end it. McCloskey ' s appearance came less than a week after the Republican party convention, at which he had the distinction of receiving the only vote not cast for the renomination of President Nixon. 23 Adviser program stumbling along You ' re an undergraduate in trouble. Your grades are not up to expectations, and suddenly you ' re not too sure what your goals are any more. Who will you see for help — your faculty adviser? Not very likely. The faculty adviser program has been a source of controversy for several years. Designed to help students orient themselves to college and career goals, the pro- gram has never totally fulfilled its objective. When asked what they thought of their faculty advisers, many students complained that they were unconcerned, inaccessible, or simply not knowledgeable enough to help them with their program. A few admitted that they didn ' t even know who their faculty adviser was. A new program was initiated last year in an attempt to upgrade the system, and was put into effect this year. Students were required to see their adviser and have him sign their pre-registration form before it could be submitted for approval. But even then, a number of stu- dents still managed to get by without seeing an adivser. Dr. Robert Klein of the Chemistry Department cited this as the major problem with the program, stating I am ineffective because students don ' t consult me. Though I have a list of names of students that should see me, I know not even half have been in my office. Dr. Klein saw the adviser ' s role as a source of input to help maintain a student ' s balance. I try to help stu- dents come to grips with problems they ' re having now, instead of worrying about those that may crop up two or three years from now. Many students ' main complaint was the adviser ' s lack of knowledge in their chosen field of study. The adviser ' s handbook, given to each adviser at the beginning of the year, took note of this fact. Comment- ing on the new freedom of responsibility program in meeting requirements, the handbook stated that it would indeed place an academic and diplomatic burden on advisers, but they were asked to do all in their power to help the student come to a realistic viewpoint of their goals. The handbook added, Students ' relationship to the whole ' establishment ' of University Education, and in particular, to Creighton University, is probably a good deal less filial and trusting than in years gone by. The concern you show for them and the interest you take in their academic problems and doubts may be the strongest personal influence available to them in their adjustment to university life. Advisers will need to work overtime to restore vanished trust, and students will have to be more recep- tive before the program will come even close to fulfill- ing that goal. Advisers will need to work overtime, to restore vanished trust. Dr Herbert Funk talks economics with a busmess student in the faculty member ' s office. 24 Does the advising system work? Sometimes, yes, as when Father Francis George, OMI, talks informally with Nancy Murphy (above) or when Dr Bruce Malina counsels (below). fX : W - i-t s ' -- Registration still a mess after years of change There is no other experience at Creighton quite hke registration. No matter how many times you ' ve waited in the unending hues, filled out all the forms, and seen all the proper people, it is just as bewildering as the first time you were pushed through as a freshman. It looks easy enough on the little yellow sheet you The list of closed classes grows ominously larger, to the dismay of those students with late registration times. are handed as you enter the gym. All you need to do is go from station to station. Easy enough. What they don ' t tell you is that 200 people are doing the same thing the same time you are. If you ' re one of the fortunate few, you can get in early enough to get all your classes approved. But pity the poor freshman or transfer student who finds out his section (or entire class) is closed. Many a beautiful schedule has gone up in smoke on Friday afternoons. But what ' s really so bad about having to get up at 8 o ' clock five days a week? Once you have those treasured computer cards in your hand, it ' s a simple matter to fill out all the re- quired fo rms. If nothing else, Creighton will make sure you know how to write your name by the time you get out. From now on, all that remains is to have your forms checked and re-checked, ID ' s validated and to get your new food card. And. oh yes, there ' s the slight hitch of paying for it all. Somehow, though, after registration it doesn ' t seem to matter — your mind is already destroyed, why not your bank account? 26 Carla Skraznas puts up a valiant effort to make tired students smile for their food card photo.

Unlike previous years when Hill Haven seemed to be the natural setting for a Creighton beer blast, this fall ' s edition, due to legal turmoil in Sarpy County, was moved to Peony Park. The new location gave stu- dents added opportunities to wander around the park grounds and enjoy the rides. The beer was free, food was available for a small charge and a band called Man vs. Man provided the music. Because of a city ordinance the band stopped early, but the party did not. The beer continued to flow, students laughed and talked and it was obvious that the 1972-73 school year was underway. Katie Lawler was forced to shout in order to be heard over the din of the band Mil e Loughlin mal es sure students don t become thirsty as he ceeps the steady stream of beer flowing 28 Bi3La!Kaiiett!U iM198IiB9[I«sn{SiraH  n iliuu HKnii«m nu V A beer and two guys — what more could a girl ask? ingrid Wilbrand enjoys one last fling before the onset of studies after t je holiday weei end. 29 Town Students: the ' forgotten students ' Do dorm students really get more for their tuition than townies, simply because they are on campus more? This was the question raised at a Student Board of Governors meeting in November. Although almost 60 per cent of Creighton ' s students live off campus, the campus v as virtually shut down when dorm students left for Thanksgiving vacation. And it was again painfully obvious that townies were the forgotten students of the university. Because dorm students are in close contact with each other most of the time, it is not too difficult to meet people and make new friends. And because they live on campus, they are usually more involved and better informed as to activities. Town students, lacking these advantages, often have a harder time becoming part of it. An arts senior from Omaha said that when she was a freshman, she was scared to go into the Brandeis Student Center because she didn ' t know anyone except her high school classmates. Things did get better each year, she added, after she joined a sorority, got involved with the Student Board and began to frequent Nuncio ' s . Mary Moore, an Arts junior, lived at home her first two years at Creighton but then moved to the dorm. Townies really miss out on a lot of campus activities, Miss Moore said, because so many things happen spontaneously in the dorms. Adding that she felt she had become closer to people since she moved on campus, she said that it was better than trying to meet people in the classroom, because no one is himself in classes. The Town Council, rejuvenated in 1971 after several years ' dormancy, was intended to unite and inform town students and give them an avenue to express their gripes. Most townies felt the Council was fairly successful in its first year, but never quite got going this year. One of the officers of the Town Council, Greg Dietz, claimed the main stumbling block to action was apathy on the part of the students. Many kids living in Omaha are holding down jobs, and campus activities are not always their main interests, he said. The Council did sponsor several activities, including TGlF ' s and a chess and bridge tournament, that drew dorm students as well as townies. It appears town students at Creighton University have to make more of an effort to get involved on campus. And the university may have to find ways to keep them involved so that Creighton doesn ' t become a higher high school to a majority of its students. i. ! , I i t . 1 1 The Brandeii Student Center provided a common meetmg place for town and dorm students.

Summer ' s last warmth faded into the crispness of autumn, as leaves turned shades of gold and orange and slowly fell to the ground, creating the perfect place to dream away the hours. 32 Indian summer provided the perfect opportunity for one of the things students hke to do most — skip class and sleep. %- --.

Any car without a sticker will be towed away. The honeymoon was over. For one glorious week, students were able to park anywhere on campus with- out fear of reprisal. But the day after Labor Day, stu- dents were awakened to the sound of a loudspeaker broadcasting a warning message and soon after, as the red tow trucks of Cramer Brothers began to invade the campus, they became aware that it was not just an idle threat. Towing on campus is not new. Neither is the lack of parking spaces. For dorm students the frustration sets in after the purchase of a $10 parking sticker, several trips around campus looking for a parking space, and finally the long walk back to the dorm after locat- ing a far away parking space. The town student also faces the parking problems. He soon discovers that the earlier he rises and arrives on campus the better his chances for a fairly short walk to class. Students quickly learned that once they find that sacred parking space, they must not leave campus that day unless they wish to undertake another long search. Some students finally give up and take the chance of parking in a no-parking zone or a faculty parking lot. And although the barrage of tow trucks seen the first few weeks of classes slowed down, an occasional truck could always be seen going after its victim. Desperation leads students to throw caution to the winds- even though a tow truck may be lurking around the corner Because Creighton is a downtown campus and is hemmed in on two sides by the interstate system, space for expansion and new parking facilities is sadly lack- ing. Some progress has been made in the last few years as several new parking lots have been opened east of the campus. But this has not seemed to solve the prob- lem and until a solution is found the battle between the student and tow truck will continue on Creighton ' s campus. Those who take risks must sometimes pay the prices. Cramer Brothers towing service removes another offender. 34 Enterprising bug-owners found that half-a-space is better than none All over the country bikes were soaring in popularity as students found it easier and more healthful to pedal to class. 35 Convocation tradition bows to poor attendance Tradition was set aside on Founder ' s Day, Sept. 28. Instead of the usual all-university convocation and dispensation of classes, the Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, S.J., university president, addressed faculty, administrators and staff in the evening in Rigge Lecture Hall. After Father Labaj ' s speech, 25-year and distinguished serv- ice awards were given out and a cocktail party was held in Becker dining hall. The reason for the change in the day ' s activities? Students never attended the afternoon ceremony any- way. Who says Creighton isn ' t flexible? Father Labaj spoke to the approximately 300 edu- cators gathered on the State of the University. He told them, You are the university so this is your state. He spoke of the changing role of education in society today and how, like industry, it is made more accountable for its actions. He urged the instructors to make the recruiting and retention of students a prime concern in the future because a strong undergraduate base is essential to the well-being of the university. He stressed Creighton ' s historic nature by saying, Creighton University is yesterday ' s century gathered into today to create a tomorrow. Father Labaj expressed the hope that with the faculty ' s help an effective Credo could be worked out during the year, based on the belief that the only way to become real is to risk all for God and man. If the day was not traditional. Father Labaj ' s clos- ing was, when he urged the ultimate commitment of Creighton to be, For the Greater Glory of God. Father Reinert , vice president for development, listens intently to Father Labaj while waiting to speak Father Labaj urged teachers to ask their students to go slower and maintain traditional safeguards. Dr Robert Heaney, vice president for health sciences (above), introduced the recipients of the 25-year awards, one of which was presented to Dr Frank Ferraro of the School of Medicine (right). 36 37 Mark Klein bolsters his ego with a beer while trying to find a Friday night date. a Pat Sampair (above) has refreshment close at hand while study- ing Bill Broberg pours another round for friends at a small party in his room (right) 38 Alcohol legalization elicits little student response On Oct. 6, the Rev. Joseph Labaj, S.J., university president, announced that the consumption of alcohohc beverages in the dormitories would be acceptable under new university regulations. Most students who had attended Creightpn in the past, and more hkely a number of parents, probably assumed that this announcement would result in unre- strained joy and a lot of wild parties. They were wrong. Though the announcement culminated many years of efforts to obtain legaUzation, most students took the new regulations in stride. Only a few students were seen drinking in their rooms the day the changes took effect, although almost 80 per cent of the dorm resi- dents were eligible under the new Nebraska statute setting 19 as the legal age, and the only wild gatherings were still at Nuncio ' s lounge, twenty blocks away. Many students commented that it was great, but were quick to add that it was just a convenience. Who really wants to just sit in their dorm room and drink when we can get out of here? was often heard. There were also those who said that the only change made by the new law was that now they could leave the door unlocked when they drank. And of course the element of suspense while trying to sneak up a six- pack under the hot dog buns would be missing. The administration was just as realistic. One university offi- cial admitted privately, We only made legal what stu- dents had been doing all along anyway. There are those who assumed that because of the new statewide legal privileges for 19-year-olds, the uni- versity had to change the rules. But this was not neces- sarily so, as many over-20-year-old grad students who lived in Gallagher Hall in past years could attest. The Rev. Michael Sheridan, S.J., vice president of student affairs, did admit that this was a major factor, however, as well as the nationwide trend to permit liquor in resi- dence halls. At the time of the announcement, 23 of the 28 Jesuit colleges in this country had passed similar laws legalizing alcohol in their dorms. The defeat of the campus rathskeller plan in the Nebraska legislature last year also entered into the decision. The measure had been supported vigorously by the Student Board of Governors. Though an outburst of drunkenness never mate- rialized, it was obvious after a week ' s tine that stu- dents were taking advantage of their newfound free- dom. It was not uncommon to see students walking down the hall with books in one hand and a six pack in the other. And nary a grocery bag in sight. 39 ,. • -Wi «!■  I A massive voter registration campaign was conducted on campus by the League of Women Voters These students swear in at the Alumni Library. K ' The length of the ballot made voting a long and sometmies difficult process Both Vmnie Grosso (top right) and Kevin Benson (below right) took their time in making their choices 40 Election year fails to spur student interest That this was an election year was fairly obvious during the first months of the school year. Bumper stickers and posters tried to capture attention with Nixon Now and McGovern Shriver, not to mention the political messages of graffitti that decorated eleva- tors and bathroom walls. But while these external signs were plentiful, there seemed to be little of the underlying excitement and apprehension that one normally associates with an elec- tion year. Though the 18-year-old vote had affected a majority of the student body, it seemed to have little consequence for many. Mike Boyle, Douglas County Election Commissioner and a Business junior, noted that though he had been a Creighton student on and off for ten years, he saw no major change in campus political activity this year. Actually, many more students were outwardly active in the ' 60 ' s, when they couldn ' t even vote, he said. Only a small portion of Creighton students actively campaigned for the candidates. Though there was some political discussion in dorm rooms or at lunch tables, vigorous debates rarely occured. Unlike four years ago, no major candidate or representative appeared on cam- pus to campaign. The Student Board was hesitant about scheduling local candidates to speak, fearing poor student attendance. Apparently their apprehension was justified; when incumbent U.S. Senator Carl Curtis spoke at Creighton in October, only seven students showed up. About the same number attended chal- lenger Terry Carpenter ' s talk. Many students found the presidential race unexcit- ing. One sophomore complained that he wanted to vote, but I don ' t really want to vote for McGovern or Nixon. Though McGovern was probably the more youth-ori- ented candidate of the two, even his supporters were less than enthusiastic. Despite the low-key campaign, however, many students did take advantage of their voting rights. In a poll conducted by the Creightonian and the university computer center, 176 out of 200 students said that they had registered, either at home or in Douglas County. Though there was no way of determining the total num- ber of student votes or the results, McGovern won the Creighton precinct, which included both dorm and local Omaha residents, 275 to 168, or 62% to 38%. Most students used their right to vote with matur- ity, and for many it was an important privilege. When asked her feelings on the election, Arts junior Roxanne Fox said, I wasn ' t voting for the election of the Presi- dent of the United States so much. I felt more like I was voting for a man I believed in. It was a neat feeling. 41 After encouragement from Dr Searson to be frank , Gary Fischer (above) candidly dicusses fiis situation, loe enfc ns (rigtit) pages through a handbook of U.S. colleges. - i, . « I t • Got a problem? Counselors can help Choosing an occupational field seems so easy when you ' re in high school, but sometimes you get to college and find out maybe that wasn ' t what you wanted after all. Creighton students with this problem found the Counseling Center, in the basement of Bergan Hall, more than willing to help. According to Dr. John Engler, director of the cen- ter, Members of the counseling staff want to help students learn ways of becoming totally developed indi- viduals. We hope to help students assess their goals, values, and ideals and design strategies for obtain- ing them. Five regular counselors and three graduate stu- dents were available to interview students, become acquainted with their problems, and possibly agree on tests to indicate preferences. Group counseling was also available. The stigma of seeing a counselor seems to be dis- appearing, as students realize the need for outside help. We don ' t feel we have to go out and advertise. Coun- seling in personal and vocational problems is becoming more acceptable and the students are keeping us busy, Engler commented. More and more students make use of the facilities each year; the counselors saw over 1,200 students in 1972. Though the primary purpose of the center was voca- tional testing, the center offered several other services, including a self-help reading program and a compre- hensive library of bulletins from several colleges and A large selection of self-help reading material was available for students ' use. universities throughout the United States. The College Level Examination Program was begun this year to enable students to get college credit for divisional requirements by testing out of courses. Plans for the future include a more extensive program and a study skills program. But the basic concern was with the student ' s emo- tional welfare, and counselors made every effort to help students adjust to college and its problems. There is a strong need to help provide students with positive kinds of ex perience to help in their real life encounters with other poeple, Engler said. Dating, marriage, personal experiences, human relations and sexual relations: these things make up our life style and they need to be made part of our educational structure. 43 Blood Drive again proves Super-success Characterized by an overflow of blood donors, the annual Blood Drive resulted in the accumulation of approximately 700 pints of blood. This set a participa- tion record, soaring over the previous record of 595 pints set the year before. Red Cross volunteers handling the blood donations at the Brandeis student center were swamped by pro- spective donors. An extension of two days at the Red Cross Center was necessary to handle the overflow of both appointments and unscheduled donors. Transpor- tation to the center was offered by groups participat- ing in the Miss Cutie-Mr. Ugly contest, which was associated with the drive. Giving a pint of blood entitled the donor to vote for a Cutie and Ugly candidate. Miss Cutie nominees included Kathy Hartnett, Mary Moriarty, Cassie Davis, Chris Yirga, Katie Lawler, and Joanne Manning. Candi- dates for the dubious title of Mr. Ugly were Jim Burnett, Pat Fahey, Ben Haller, Jay Schmolke, Tom Moran, and Earl Bates. The well-known Creighton graduate, Dr. San Quinary, and the popular food-service hostess Irma Trumbauer were also nominated. The Blood Drive was conducted by the Arts Senate. Tom Skrinar was chairman of the drive. Made-up to look like Dr San Guinary, the popular late-night TV ghoul, Larry Scalzetti attempts to recruit more donors. A record number of students filled the tables in the game room to donate blood, pushing the number of pints past the 700 mark. 44 r- ■ A Red Cross Worker pricks the ear of a prospective donor (above) to determine his blood type, while another student has his blood pressure checked before donating (below). 45 Close Mr. Ugly race stirs Frolics excitement Runner-up and perennial favorite Irma Trumbauer thanks members of the crowd for their support. The new Miss Cutie, Mary Moriarty, ' s congratulated by friends as she leaves the stage. With competition in the Blood Drive rising to fever pitch, enthusiasm was at a matching high level as Fall Frolics closed out the wreek at Peony Park. Approximately 1,040 students were on hand to hear that Mary Moriarty of Delta Zeta and Phi Kappa Psi ' s Pat Fahey had been declared the winners of the Cutie- Ugly contest. The Mr. Ugly race had been particularly close, with Fahey winning by only fourteen votes over Sigma Alpha Epsilon ' s Ben Haller. Described by one student as the wildest dance I ' ve ever been to, Frolics was a mad conglomeration of demonstrations and celebrations. The aura of excite- ment prevailed throughout the evening as Earthstar kept the crowd rocking — not that they needed much help. Several post-parties saw students celebrating into the wee hours of the next morning. Controversy arose after the dance concerning band equipment owned by Earthstar that had been damaged during the announcement of the winners. The two fra- ternities involved, SAE and Phi Psi, agreed to pay for any damages, and no disciplinary action was taken by the university. I 46 Numerous demonstrations by various candidate ' s supporters preceded the announcement of the winners, causing some controversy after the dance. 47 strong performances highlight The IViil ado ' An excellent cast helped propel a nineteenth cen- tury operetta into 1972 as the Creighton players inaugurated their season with Gilbert and Sullivan ' s The Mikado. Staged at the Music Hall on Oct. 23, 25 and 26, this play had originally been written as a biting satire on stuffy Victorian society. Though the barbs had been somewhat dulled by time, the slapstick comedy situa- tions still provided a hilarious poke at legalism in any society. Set in Imperial Japan, the play centered around the romantic entanglements of Nanki-poo and Ko-Ko, as they both go after the same girl and run up against a stiff set of absurd laws. But it was the cast that made the play shine. Stand- out performances were given by Geri Schartz as Katisha, Shannon Swan as Pooh-bah, and Tom Amundsen as Ko-Ko. Chris Connell as Nanki-poo and Jane Becker as Yum-yum also displayed fine acting ability. The play was under the direction of Dr. Harry Langdon of the Speech department. Musical direction was by Jack Bourdess, and choreography by Jean Stone. Approximately 1,200 people attended the three performances.

TGIF ' s provide relaxation after weel of classes Nothing draws students to a Creighton function better than cheap beer. So it comes as no surprise that the Beer Blasts put on by various campus organizations were highly successful. Under the auspices of the Student Board, Arts Senate and the Town Council, students were enticed to the Brandeis snack bar to celebrate TGIF. With more students eligible under the new Nebraska law, almost all segments of the university were represented. And a good time was had by all — as students drowned the after-exam sorrows in cold glasses of brew. A band was usually provided to keep spirits high, although after a while most appeared not to need it. The foamy beverage was a primary motivation to attend the Friday gatherings, but it was by no means the only one. In the words of one coed, It was so nice to be able to get a beer right on campus and talk to so many people I hadn ' t seen all week. Good times and friends — a pretty good way to start a weekend. 50 It ' s amazing how students who doze through their early morn- ing classes come alive for a late afternoon beer blast. Carl Troia obviously enjoys a healthy head on his beer. First-semester Creightonian editor Laura Reinig had double reason to TCIF — the end of classes and another issue of the paper completed. 51 Above: lean Dwyer From top right to bottom: Marcia Duncan; Mike Neise, Shell Hotovy, and Mary Ann Moidl, Mike Neise and lim Carte, Tom Huerter. 52 g Jl H h f?. l n 1 ' ' S i % ' West Side Story production a student triumph when a group of about 30 non-drama majors got together in the fall and announced they were going to put on the musical West Side Story, no one expected much. The play exceeded even the most conservative estimations, however, as enthusiastic crowds jammed Eppley Lecture Hall on November 10, 11, 12 and 13. Originally planned for only three nights, the cast agreed to an added performance as almost 60 people were turned away each night due to the limited seating avail- able in Eppley; approximately 950 people attended over the four nights. The Creighton Student Theater Company was unique in that it was student produced, directed, publi- cized and financed. The student who started it all. Business junior Marty Moynihan, said there were no real officers of the company; everyone was an equal representative. We were all in for the fun of it, Moynihan said. We were all members of different groups on campus who felt like gearing a theater group strictly toward entertainment rather than education in drama. Arts senior Mary Anne Henry, a math major and director of the play, said There always remained the student-to-student communication. Arts senior Mike Neise and Nursing senior Sue Clowry were in charge of choreography, but even ideas for dance steps came from many sources. Moynihan took charge of finding financial backing for the troupe which didn ' t turn out to be as difficult as he had expected. Several campus groups contributed money and the stores of the Old Market were enthusi- astic about helping a student theater group by adver- tising in the program. A few costumes were rented, but most of the actors designed their own. Admission to the play was 50 cents for Creighton students and $1 for others. Arts freshman Jean Dwyer, who played Maria, the Puerto Rican Juliet, said the experience of being in West Side Story meant something special to her. When asked about the morale of the actors, she said mass confusion began to dissolve as people began to take control and take responsibility upon themselves because they wanted to, not because there was a teacher standing over them. We were all so different, yet we became very close, very good friends. The more problems we had, the closer we seemed to get. 53 II Gregory urges youth to save America Touching on topics of the election, the war, Christ ' s reappearance, and today ' s youth, activist-comedian Dick Gregory spoke to a capacity crowd of over 600 students in the Brandeis Student Center on November 28. Much of Gregory ' s speech was concerned with social oppression. Show me a nation that respects all human beings as much as they do the flag, and I ' ll show you a nation and a flag that have nothing to worry about, he said. Adding that America was a nation of bubble-gum chewing, beer-drinking and pretzel-eating mentality, he said that Americans would have to show more concern for other ' s problems before they would solve the ills that now afflict the country. Commenting on the war, Gregory said that we should get out of Vietnam as soon as possible. We didn ' t need an honorable way in, and we don ' t need an honorable way out. At the time of his speech, he was completing the 21st month of a fast to protest the war. He said that his weight had dropped from 288 pounds to about 98 pounds. Gregory also leveled an attack on the press, partic- ularly the newspapers. Saying that they weren ' t doing their job, he added that they tended to be misleading. Newspapers should be used to inform the people instead of tricking them. Gregory ended his speech with an admonition to students, saying that the answer to America ' s problems depended on the young, but that violence was not the answer to those problems. You youngsters have a big job, and not much time. We left you all the problems but used up all the tricks. The salvation of this nation depends on you. You can take it or leave it. If you take it, it can be the greatest nation in the world. If you leave it, it may be gone in four years. 54 ' • 55 Lynn Matte embraces a fellow candidate after being named the 7972 Homecoming queen Ralph Bobik drives through a swarm of ASU defenders on his way to a basket. Creighton beat the Sun Devils 86-75 . y, ' . •aS s  - Finals schedule dims Homecoming spirit Every year, it seems, Homecoming is an object of controversy. Three years ago its relevancy was ques- tioned, two years ago all displays were dropped, and last year it withstood an attack from Women ' s Lib. It is ironic, then, that in the year when traditions were coming back in , the Homecoming tradition almost died from neglect. An alumnus returning to campus on Monday would have wondered if he were in the right place. Not only were the displays missing, but so were the carnivals that replaced them. There was no Siege to the Civic. No posters called attention to queen candidates. A food drive had been scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 3, but it was cancelled for fear of poor participation and rescheduled for next spring. A TGIW was held on Wednesday, and there was a concert. And of course, there was the Homecoming game, with Arizona State University, and the dance. But though the events were reasonably well attended, the festive mood usually connected with Homecoming week was lacking. Perhaps the biggest reasons for the decline in excitement were the dates on which it was held. As the start of the school year was moved back time and again. Homecoming week found itself closer and closer to finals. This year, finals started just three days after the dance. Rather than jeopardize their grades, many students simply stayed home. The Arts Senate, anticipating this earlier in the year, had asked the Athletic Department to change the Homecoming game to January. The department refused, stating that the dates couldn ' t be changed because of previous commitments. With finals so close, the Senate was hesitant to sponsor any more events. Some conso- lation to those who will be back next year: Homecoming will be in January 1974. After overcoming the attacks of women ' s lib last year, the future of the Homecoming queen seemed assured. It appears likely, however, that it will come in for re-evaluation next year. Homecoming queen was Lynn Matte, her first attendant was Patty Lynam, and the second attendant was Colleen Hogan. But a new honorable mention award was added this year, and it went to a male — Bob Bakken. Though he only con- ducted a last-minute write-in campaign. Arts Senate president Carol Coppola said, He got a lot of votes. She added that she had already asked the Arts Senate to consider another ballot on the queen tradition next year. All the scheduled events were reasonably well attended, however— even the abbreviated concert. And while spirit was sadly lacking, it was hoped that the planned schedule change would allow students to get more involved. Maybe there ' s some life in the old girl yet. Students strain to watch the band at the TCIW (left). Others wan- dered to a quieter spot to dicuss the week ' s events (above). 57 - JK- • «  lim Croce and Vixen entertain at the Homecoming concert Croce salvages Homecoming concert A back-up performer took the center stage at the last minute and gave a surprisingly first-rate effort to salvage what could have been a disastrous Home- coming concert. The rock group Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose wrere scheduled to be the feature performers, with Jim Croce as a co-feature. But the Cornelius Brothers group called in sick the day of the concert, saying they would be unable to make the appearance. As Jim Croce had already arrived in Omaha, the Student Board had no recourse but to go ahead with the concert as scheduled, and slated the female vocal group Vixen to share the stage. An admission fee of $2 was to be charged, but the Board refunded the money and made it free to all students. Croce ' s style was an immediate hit with the approximately 400 students in attendance. Seated near the edge of the stage, the singer made it a very personal concert, interspersing his songs with jokes and comments ranging from college and the weather to his date with a 400 pound girl. His music, in the country- rock style, was also very personal, and much of it con- cerned his own experiences. The audience loved it; Croce received a standing ovation. The Board took a gamble in going ahead with the concert. And if crowd reaction was any indication of success, they won. 59 Tradition fiops, but dance a success Though the Homecoming tradition seemed to be experiencing rough times, the Homecoming dance turned out to be just as successful as ever. Creighton students jammed themselves into Carter Lake Ballroom to celebrate the Jays ' 86-75 victory over ASU. One student described it as wall-to-wfall people — which translates into roughly 800 revelers. The ballroom itself w as quite a change over the usual Peony Park — some called it homey, others an ecologist ' s nightmare. Decorated in early ski lodge, the walls dotted with furs and moose heads, it presented a fitting setting for a cold winter gathering. Homecoming Queen Lynn Matte reigned over the events as students danced to the new Rumbles. Their repertoire ranged from a little ' 50 ' s music to a lot of Chicago and Sly Stone. That the band was well-recieved was evident as the dance floor remained crowded throughout the evening. Probably the only flaw in the evening was the difficulty some students had in finding the ballroom. But once there, most agreed it was well worth the trouble. ► s jsaw.-itiit,: ' i 5 . ' i r.

Crampton, an Arts junior, was injured last May in a trampoline accident in the Creighton gym. Since then he has been confined to a wheelchair, with only slight mobility of his arms and legs. Several students requested that the Board schedule a benefit to help pay Crampton ' s hospital expenses. After several ideas had been suggested, the Board decided on a benefit basketball game, and designated the Creighton — Chilean Nationals game the Jim Crampton Benefit. Approximately 10,000 letters were mailed urging contributions to the benefit. Creighton students were asked to pay $2 for their tickets, instead of using their activity cards, although they were not required to do so. The benefit raised a total of $5000, which was presented to Crampton at the Homecoming game during halftime activities. Approximatelv 50 volunteers prepared 10,000 letters asking support for the Benefit t00l - Y ' ' ' I ' - ' ' ir -j- ae ,: : ; ' The game ball, signed by every team member, is presented to Crampton by Mary Higgins and Tim Sullivan. 62 Join The .)i«r){:ft, !if IN (nNIKllMillNJG 10 Finals are a matter of life or death The day starts at 6 o ' clock.

Take a breather for dinner, camp out in the library until you ' re kicked out at midnight. Have some coffee . . . and more coffee . . . and more coffee . . . Why would any self-respecting student in his right mind subject himself to su ch a grueling ordeal? There can only be one answer: finals. Those little gems called final exams only come twice a year (which for most is twice too many) but they can make or break an aspiring scholar. For this reason, students find themselves cramming as they would never dream of doing any other time of the year. Several categories of test-takers develop during finals week. First there are those dedicated souls who study all semester and then for some reason gun like crazy during finals anyway. Then there are the last- minute gamblers who hope that they can cram a whole semester ' s effort into one night ' s work. Finally there is Joe Cool — he smiles a lot while playing cards and prays a lot while taking his tests. To really get into the mood, students are required to suffer from lack of sleep, starvation, nausea, panic and occasionally hysteria. Not much fun, but it develops a great martyr complex. Finals may not be the student ' s favorite sport, but then again they were never intended to be. One thing is certain, however: few things can rival the relief the student feels when he realizes they ' re all over — even if it is for just another semester. Maybe Bill Broberg thought that a surgical cap would make studying for his bio final a little easier.

The choir began informally in 1970 when groups of students began to gather around the piano in Kiewit Hall and sing. But it was not until this year when the choir began performing at St. John ' s Church and several other Omaha churches that the hidden talent was dis- covered by the Creighton community. Their concerts included sacred music, original poetry, readings and religious dance from Afri- can heritage. Our purpose is to introduce our people ' s music to the community. It ' s a chance for us to tell how we really feel about black sacred music, said Maelle Davis who is credited with formally organizing the group. We sing how we feel. It ' s not something you learn, but something inside you. We sing because we like to sing. It ' s a way of expressing our emotions, she said. Besides performing at Creighton the choir appeared on Omaha television programs. Along with supporting the choir, CUASA helped sponsor several programs. The lives of Malcom X and Martin Luther King were dramatically portrayed in the play Malcom and Mar- tin sponsored by CUASA. The play was performed by Voices Inc., a black musical theater group from New York. The performance incorporated music, dance, pantomime, drama and poetry. Cabt memben oi Malcolm and Martin read excerpts trom the life of Malcolm X. The play was the first of several programs sponsored by CUASA throughout the year.

With not one, but two academic breaks this year, many students took advantage of the oppor- tunity to get aviray to such diverse areas as the IsraeH desert and the Colorado ski slopes. The Department of Theology sponsored a tour of the Mid-East during the Christmas vacation. Starting in Tel Aviv, the group of 21 tourists visited many of the bib- lical and historical sites of the area, including Sheckem, a city dating back to the time of Joshua, and the ruins of Ashkelon, an ancient Philistine city. They continued on to Jerusalem, holy place for three religions; Qumran, site of the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls: and Jeri- cho, oldest city in the v orld. Students on the tour received academic credit for their participation. For those just out for a good time there v as the ever-popular ski trip. Students took off by bus for the slopes at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in the midst of a snowstorm, but managed to get through just before the weather became too violent. Once there they settled in for a week of skiing and partying at the Storm Mea- dows condominiums. Though the number of beginning skiers was unusually high, many took to the slopes as if they had been skiing for years — except one girl who broke her ankle during her first lesson on the first day and was laid up for the whole trip. Though no planned tours were scheduled for the spring break from March 3-10, many students returned to Colorado for more skiing. Many more took advantage of the timing for break to drive down to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras celebration. g AL W ' ' Father Tom Hoffman relates tiie tiistory of Sheckem, an ancient city dating bacl to 1400 B C , tour members as they wandered through the excavation site. 68 As if waiting for f ie waters to part once more, Doris Carlson and Debbie Robins watch the waves of the Dead Sea roll up onto the shore.

Dote Signature Please fill out and return to the Student Board of Governors Office 70 Tuition is up again— so what else is new? N Student Board members Sonny Foster and John Bowman explain the tuition increase withholding plan to resi- dents of Deglman Hall. The saying goes, The only things you can be sure of are death and taxes. But for Creighton students, the phrase has been expanded to include death, taxes and a tuition increase. Tuition has gone up at a steady rate for the last 13 consecutive years. The rate stood at $975 a semes- ter for an Arts student, higher in professional schools. In the fall of 1973 Arts, Business, Nursing and Law students were to pay $50 a semester more, those in Pharmacy $75 more, Meaicine $100 more and Den- tistry $145. In a letter to students, Fr. Labaj noted the increase was needed to fulfill the university ' s goal of operating on a sound financial basis. He added We are exert- ing extraordinary efforts to make it possible for stu- dents from all economic levels to attend Creighton. The Student Board responded to the tuition increase with a list of demands. According to Board president Tim Lannon, they recognized the climb of living costs, but also felt the students should be getting something more for the extra money. The list of demands included an option for senior undergrads to live off-campus, optional food plans for all dorm students, a guaranteed tuition program, student representation on the all- university Rank and Tenure committee and the Board of Directors, and full funding for the Curriculum Exten- sion College (CEC). To back up their demands, the Board began a two- phase assault on university finance. Students were asked to pledge to withhold from their fall tuition pay- ments the amount of the increase. In another with- holding plan, graduates were asked to hold back their senior pledge. However, not all Board members went along with these plans; they objected on the grounds that they were actually hurting students, not the uni- versity, in the long run. Fr. Labaj replied that he and the vice presidents had spent weeks of agonizing effort trying to keep tuition down to a minimum. He added that it would take more money to do more, and that several of the Board proposals were unfeasible. However, some agreement was reached on certain demands. Full funding for the CEC (an opportunity for about 20 students to live off-campus and study indepen- dently) was granted, as well as student representation on Rank and Tenure and student input on the Board of Directors. A major achievement was also the plan for student input on the planning of next year ' s uni- versity budget. A number of students attended the Board meeting followmg the announcement to find out how the Board planned to fight the increase. 71 4 With friends like Mary Hinrichs, Mary Ann Alioto isn ' t in need of many enemies. tf ' ' ■ ' ■ 1 i Who says chivalry is dead? These gentlemen came to the aid of a young lady in distress. She— along with several hundred other Omahans — didn ' t have snow tires when the first snowstorm struck. : For some, the best place to be during a winter storm was on the inside looking out. Winter brought snow and good times Winter in Omaha means snow. And the Midlands got more than its share this year, as the white stuff fell on the average of once a week over a two month period. The snow brought a variety of pastimes for stu- dents. Sledding, skiing, and just plain rough-housing in the quad broke the monotony of studying and made going out in the cold worthwhile, especially for those who could pelt coeds with snowballs on the way to class. Teachers and townies tired of the snow quickly, however, as crushed fender bills mounted and back aches soared from pushing stuck cars. But a snowstorm always brought the possibility of cancelled classes. And second-guessing the adminis- tration was a favorite student activity. One night, as snow fell at a steady pace, students who had already decided that school would be called off tossed snowballs inside the dorms and passers-by often had to dodge flying objects. Announcements came over the public address system stating definitely that classes would be held as scheduled the next day. Students kept right on having a good time. There were no classes the next day. 73 Dinner of Open House consists of a bowl of hot soup. Carlos and Ike, two of the Oblate ' s helpers, dish out the evening ' s offering.

There ' s also a better chance they won ' t be drinking since we don ' t allow alcohol in the place. There are also other rules. All over-nighters must be in by 9 p.m. Dinner is served from 6-7:30 only. Any- one creating a disturbance is kicked out indefinitely. Dec. 28th.

Though the service is free, some of the working men donated money. The Oblates kept busy with plumbing, electrical work and painting. Feb. 3rd. A woman stumbled into O.H. today.

One man tried to sht his arms up and down, Father Wrzos related, and after he recovered, he came back here and threatened to do it again. Instead, we decided to go to church. Wouldn ' t you know every church in Omaha had its doors locked? But the men are helping to make the program work. And the Oblates, too, are learning.

Anger concerning the war incurred student disfavor with all things mil- itary. And as the draft ended, some wondered whether the program would even continue. But according to Colonel James Castrale, ROTC is alive and as well as can be expected at Creighton. Though overall enrollment is down ' about 30 per cent over last year, there was an increase in first-year cadets. Col. Castrale was optimistic but somewhat appre- hensive about the future of ROTC. Though the draft will officially end in June, he noted, If you accept that we have to have Defense Department, then we are going to continue. What is really going to happen (when the draft ends) I don ' t know. I ' m sure there will always be young men interested in a military career. About 65 per cent of the Army ' s officers come from ROTC. The prospect of an all-volunteer army may actually be a blessing in disguise for the program. Before, we never knew if a student was actually interested in the military or if he was just trying to escape the draft. We hope to get men now who are sincerely interested in a military career, Col. Castrale said. Incentives have been added to make the program more attractive. The number of scholarships has been increased. Benefits to scholarship winners included tuition, books, fees and $100 allowance for ten months out of the year. For the first time, women are eligible for the scholarships. The only requirement is that stu- dents attend a college with an ROTC program. Col. Castrale pointed out one aspect of the program that he felt was often overlooked by detractors of the program. I think one thing that has kept the Army on an even keel is that we get students involved in the military. We must maintain civilian control over the armed forces. That is what keeps our country great. At the Military Ball on March 2, Keith Lenhard shows Anne Barrett where he hopes he won ' t end up when he begins active duty.

Kunstler speaks on the ' Limits of Liberty ' All political power was termed destructive by attorney William M. Kunstler, one of the lawyers who defended the Chicago Seven, in a speech delivered to about 550 students in Upper Brandeis on Feb. 8. Kunstler urged students to distrust everything you here initially, and to filter all information gotten from newspapers, friends and those in power. He said the government counts on people not confronting it. You must make those in the system know or fear that they can ' t do anything they want. The controversial attorney ' s talk on The Limits of Liberty, sponsored by the Student Board touched on many different subjects, including recent conspiracy trials. According to Kunstler, the law in the United States is used to destroy, and he cited three reasons. First, to get rid of someone who is threatening the sys- tem; second, to get rid of his or her followers; and third, to solidify everyone else, the silent majority, in support of the establishment. Kunstler illustrated his theory with four cases. He said the political trial of Christ was a classic example, with those in power interpreting Christ ' s words the way they wanted to. Less historical examples given by Kunstler were the Chicago Seven conspiracy trial and that of the Berrigan brothers. Lastly, he said the current trial of Vietnam Veterans against the war is a govern- ment attempt to win one of these conspiracy cases and show every dissident what will happen if he attempts confrontation. Those in power are trying to preach, Thou shalt not rise up against the government. N 78 journalism student Don Sledge interviews attorney William Kunstler after his speech. Kunstler urged students to show those in power they can ' t do anything they want. % 79 student housing: the on and off question When Swanson Hall was built in 1965, students couldn ' t wait to move in. One student occupied his room in September; it was December before he had a bed, bookshelves or a light over his desk. That was when dorms were very in. This year the trend was in just the opposite direction. Many dorm students wanted to get an apartment. Though only students over 23, those with married rela- tives in Omaha or special circumstance cases were allowed to move out of the dorms, the number of stu- dents living off-campus continued to mount. All appli- cations had to be cleared by the Dean of Students office, but just as many got off by crook as by hook. Why the sudden rush to apartments? The reason most often given was freedom to do what I want. One student added Life isn ' t so scheduled here. If I want to eat, I do — not just at 8, 12 or 5. And if I don ' t — well, I ' m not paying for it. Price was a big factor. The old adage two can live just as cheaply as one was often stretched to three or four as residents crammed in as many as the load would bear. Some apartment dwellers claimed they saved $200-$300 by not living in the dorm. Apartment living was not all roses, however. Off- campus living meant transportation to campus, which usually meant a car, which meant finding a parking space — well, you remember what that meant. And the dorm food might not have been too hot, but al least you didn ' t have to fix it after a hard day of classes — and there weren ' t any dishes to do afterward. Most students were willing to overlook these deter- rents, however, and clamored for approval of new regu- lations to allow seniors to move off-campus. The Stu- dent Board presented the proposal to Father Labaj and he in turn passed it on to the Board of Directors. A decision was pending. But whether the proposal was approved or not, it was unlikely that students would lose their enthusiasm for apartment living. They liked the freedom, the quiet and even the responsibility of living off-campus. Per- haps one girl summed it up best when she said: It was just the feeling of having my own home. Ofl-campui living created some new. problems as it solved old ones. Sue Uridil takes time to do the dishes after the evening meal. Many students liked the proximity of friends in dorm life.

Tim Welch makes his selection from the luncheon offerings. Dorm life has some advantages, problems J ' P fflPI CHICAGO « Deglman, Swanson, Kiewit and Gallagher. Each dorm has something unique to itself and together they form the places where many students will spend the majority of their four years at Creighton. On the first days of school each year the rooms are cold and bare but within a few weeks students have transposed them into something they can call home, at least for the school year. Dorm life is a big part of Creighton. Those students who have had the fortune, or misfortune, whichever the case may be, to live in a dorm will not soon forget their dorm experiences. Problems with roommates, noisy neighbors, loud stereos, elevators that get stuck, washers that don ' t work and food machines that take your money but keep the food are not soon forgotten. Aside from these problems, dorm life does have some advantages. The convenience of living right on campus and not having to fight for a parking space must not be overlooked. Besides this, living among other students, and sharing problems, experiences and ideas, sometimes until 4 in the morning, becomes an essential part of the dorm student ' s life and even a part of his education that he does not find in the classroom. Students made every effort to de-institutionalize the dorm rooms, bringing in posters, furniture and other paraphenalia Some even had refrigerators. Remember —Monday ' s your day to fix dinner The buzzer goes off at about 6 a.m. You flip it off and float downstairs to make a quick cup of coffee and grab a donut. Read the paper — sud- denly you hear water running. You run upstairs — too late. Someone else beat you for the bathroom — but at least you ' ll be second in line. 7:15. You ' re dressed and ready to leave for your 8 o ' clock class. Three of you pile into the car and buzz off for campus. Heck — an accident at the 30th and Cum- ing intersection. This is going to be close. After finding a parking space only two blocks away you run to Rigge and get to your class. Hey — only three minutes late! Back to Brandeis for lunch. Want to play some bridge? Well, you were going to study, but what the heck . . . 4 p.m. — finally. Can ' t wait to get home. Whose turn is it to fix dinner? You forgot — Monday ' s your day. Well, you can stop at Hinky Dinky and pick up some hamburger — and hope they don ' t remember that you made hamburgers last week, and the week before that. Leave the dishes for tomorrow — you ' re in the mood for some heavy bookin ' . You snuggle up in your favorite chair and get ready to tackle some British Lit. pre-1800. Would somebody get the door? You didn ' t really feel like studying anyway. Live in the dorms again? No way! It ' s easier to entertain off-campus. Tfiese party- goers were a few of the 60 or so people crammed into one three-bedroom apartment.

' JtfHt -l- ' a -C ' 4 85 It was exciting to be Polish for a night A sticker frequently seen around campus pro- claimed It ' s exciting to be Polish, and students had a chance to prove that point on Feb. 16 when the Student Board sponsored a Polka Party in upper Brandeis. A crowd of about 450 students flung themselves around the dance floor in an attempt to keep up with the music provided by Lenny Rich and his Playboys. It didn ' t always look like they were fresh out of Warsaw, but some couples gave a fair approximation of the tra- ditional polka. Others just had a good time trying. The $1 admission fee also paid for all the beer stu- dents could drink, which in itself was enough to attract a large crowd. While waiting in line for the free beer, Terese Heger and Rob Robertson strike up a conversation (above) Cindy Sedlacek enjoyed the music so much she couldn ' t stay seated— she fell right off her partner ' s lap 86 Peggy Bauman and friends find out wtiat it ' s like to play in a polka band (above).

Nuncio makes the rounds picking up empty glasses at his local establishment, the closest thing to a hangout Creighton students had in Omaha 88 Diane Steiner, Joel Krumm and friends wander tlirough the Old Marl et, a col- lection ot specialty shops and restaurants in old buildings near the waterfront. Nothing to do in Omaha? Tal e another iool A new game — fooshall — gained popularity with stu- dents. Many local drinking establishments had tables. Omaha, Nebraska. Midlands U.S.A. When Johnny Carson wants to make a joke about a hick from the Mid- west, he ' s usually from Omaha (but then again, so was Johnny Carson). But you ' re here, and that ' s no joke. So what does Omaha have to offer to a sophisticated college student like you? After all, you are a student at THE Creighton University. Most students were inclined to answer that there was nothing to do in Omaha, but this was simply an over-worked joke. There were things to do in Omaha, if you looked hard enough. Omaha had Westroads, the Old Market. So what if the downtown was fast becoming a model in urban blight. There were concerts — Grand Funk was here, and you could go to Lincoln for more. Sports buffs could see the Knights on ice or KC-Omaha Kings basket- ball. There were community theaters all over the place. And for those few students who liked to drink, Omaha offered a variety of night spots. You could sing at Bill Bailey ' s, watch the waitresses at the Observa- tory, dance at the Aquarius, or catch Kickland and John- son at the Marylebone. As always, there was Nuncio ' s — still the student ' s favorite place to get smashed on Thursday night. So next time someone makes a joke about Omaha, go ahead and laugh. But remember — you were here, too. 89 God spell ' revives old tradition in the Mass Liturgy has come a long way since Latin Masses. By now, students are familiar with the student-planned Masses held in St. John ' s Church. But there were new additions to the liturgy on campus — both in the Mass and in new social programs. In February, participants in Lhe Midnight Mass experienced a new old tradition. Students from Creighton, UNO and area high schools presented a version of Godspell during the Mass. This was an attempt to bring back art forms to the Mass that had not been used since the 16th century. Campus Ministry began a series of over-night- ers . Students attended a program that ran from Fri- day night to Saturday morning in an encounter session designed to stimulate the exchange of ideas. The eve- ning started in a light mood with a volleyball game or some other form of entertainment. Then discussions were held; the next morning participants were encour- aged to work on a social problem. Students picked proj- ects such as working in nursing homes, at a hospital or in jails. According to Marilyn Maxwell of Campus Min- istry, We wanted to get them to do something together, develop a feeling of community, to help other people. ! !

Arlene Rhodes, wife of director Greg Rhodes, was also a counselor in Kiewit Hall 92 i New director of the program Greg Rhodes expressed a desire to make the program more than just an extension of high school. New director leads Upward Bound The Upward Bound program, operating out of the Black Cultural Center, began the year under the lead- ership of new director Greg Rhodes. Rhodes was appoint- ed to the post after the resignation last year of Jerry Lewis, who quit the program in protest of what he termed as the racist attitude at Creighton. Upward Bound works with high school students who are generally classified as under-achievers . In other words, their grades aren ' t too good — and they come from low-income families. The main goal of the program is to prepare these students for college, and to help them stay in once they get there. In addition to tutoring, the program offered other services, including field trips, a sports program and other recreational functions. According to director Rhodes, We don ' t want this to be an extension of a high school. We want kids to view this as a chance to develop themselves to their fullest potential. 93 MS. COYLE ' : Women ' s Lib at CU: an individual effort Women ' s Lib is here to stay — that fact is proclaimed everywhere, from TV commercials to the Congressional chambers. The movement ' s impact on Creighton ' s coeds has been subtle but definite. There was no central women ' s lib movement on campus. Many coeds said they considered the national organizations as silly, or disagreed with the radical concerns of abortion, lesbianism and female draft eligibility. Nevertheless, according to a mailroom clerk in Kiewit Hall, almost 50 per cent of letters delivered bore the new feminist title Ms. Ms. — simply a fad or the symbol of a different feeling, a new independence for women? Time will provide the ultimate answer, but there were outward signs that the status of women has been changing at Creighton University. There were 16 freshman women in the School of Law and one of them was first in her class. 12 women entered the School of Medicine as freshmen, compared with only one or two in past years. The dental school had its first female enrollee in 23 years and there was a record number of 9 women on the Student Board. According to Mary Higgins, Student Board secre- tary and the first woman Board executive, women ' s liberation at Creighton is an individual thing. She said she sees the forming of the first intercollegiate women ' s softball team as a major step. A freshman in the School of Law, Patty Zieg also said she views most so-called liberated women at Creighton as girls who just live that way. A member of the former Adam ' s Rib, Ms. Zieg said the group was a horrid experience last year because of the reaction it got from the rest of the university. Most of the mem- bers saw there were other ways to get thing done. she said. The strides for women at Creighton may have been lengthened by the university Committee on the Status of Women, whose stated goal was to give equal con- sideration to women in all phases of operation of the university. However, the personal efforts of individual women were probably more instrumental in achieving their goals. ,_-.. ifi : Practicing a bunt, Susie Stefanski prepares for the start of the baseball season.

Sonny Foster (below) waits to ask a ques- tion on the proposed changes of the executive council. Board restructured in Corporation meeting The Student Board of Governors went into the ranching business — or at least it seemed that way— for the annual corporation meeting held on Feb. 25. The Corporation — composed of all Creighton stu- dents—was set up to provide students with a say in student government. The annual meeting requires a quorum of 50 students in attendance; the first meet- ing five years ago drew 1,500, but that number has been dropping steadily ever since. This year ' s meeting was delayed ten minutes as Board members literally went out and rounded up enough people so the meeting could begin. But although the poor attendance indicated lack of interest, the meeting itself was interesting enough. A proposal was brought up to restructure the Student Board to give individual schools more direct represen- tation. An executive council was set up consisting of the president and five vice presidents — one for student affairs; events; finance; business, arts and law; and the health sciences. These vice presidents would head committees in each division. The proposals also included a change in the repre- sentation of the schools on the Board. Two more seats were added, bringing the total number of board seats to 32. The proposals were passed by the Creighton Cor- poration—all 52 students in attendance. Iim Bruner makes a point about changes he would like to see in student representation on the Board. 97 April showers created a reflecting pool to showcase Maria Anderson ' s tennis form (above) Kathy Quinley (right) took to her bike as soon as the snow was gone.

Because when March rolls around, the dreaded malady known as Spring Fever generally reaches epidemic propor- tions on campus. Nothing is worse than sitting there with a pile of books when the sun is shining outside and the grass is suddenly visible from underneath all the snow dumped during the Nebraska winter. Good grades have been known to disappear along with that snow as the tennis courts and outdoor basketball hoops beckon more invitingly than boring studies. Spring means sandals, a frisbee game in the quad, lying in the grass, a late-night pitcher of beer at your favorite hangout (you can do that anytime, but some- how it ' s more enticing on a warm spring evening), sun- bathing on top of the dorm, a walk with your girl . . . With all that, who can study? •mnikmiw A flying frisbvc trrjix, Tim Mullaney gets ready to launch his saucer across the East Quad. 99 Nancy Lawler en oys the action (above) as the Ruggers demonstrate their spirit with a song and dance before the start of the game ... . .■s • : ' -• • • ., . , - •■V- ■- .

A special rugby game, due to student support Complaints are often heard around campus be- moaning the fact that Creighton doesn ' t have varsity football. Many students miss the excitement of a true contact sport, and enjoy the opportunity to get outside and cheer their team. But anyone who hap- pened to wander out to Brownell-Talbot school one sunny afternoon in March found all of this, and much more, as the Creighton Rugby team took to the field against Mason City, Iowa. The informational sheet on how rugby is played commented, Rugby has been described as unorganized mayhem, but this is not true — actually rugby is highly organized mayhem — and this is very true. Rugby at Creighton is a club sport, composed of students who play because they enjoy it. And they ' re a madcap lot — they actually form a chorus hne and do a jig before each game. That is, before they dance into the opposition. Now in only its second year, rugby has been a little slow getting started, with support coming from a few enthusiastic diehard supporters. But this game was special, because for the first time the team acutally had support from the students. They were there — in force — and they loved it. It was great just to be out. enjoy a beer (they went through two free kegs in about an hour) and join in on the enthusiasm. The field is in the midst of a tree-lined neighborhood, providing the campus atmosphere that Creighton lacks in its inner city location. One student remarked, almost wistfully, Now I know what all my friends who go to football games at their schools enjoy. And Creighton students enjoyed it for an afternoon, too. Hopefully there will be many more afternoons like it. Making their way through the crowd.

St. Pat ' s weekend was one big celebration If ever there was a holiday created for students, it is St. Patrick ' s day. St. Pat may not know it, but he has become not only the patron saint of Ireland but also of general merrymaking (and drinking) as well. Because March 17 fell on a Saturday, students had a whole weekend to celebrate. And enjoy themselves they did — it seems that everyone is Irish for a day (or two). The merriment began with a 50 ' s Sock Hop in Upper Becker on Friday night, sponsored by KOCU and the East Quad Council. Music of the late 50 ' s and early 60 ' s was dredged up by the Skid Roe Johnny O Rock and Roll Revival Show. There was so much grease nobody dared to light a match, but everyone dug the dancing. Saturday was one big fling for most students, with the drinking and partying beginning as early as 10 a.m. A rugby game filled up the afternoon, and the Student Board sponsored an all-university concert that evening. It ' s a Beautiful Day were the featured performers, with the Emotions and Sylvester and the Hot Band sharing the bill. li ' j Remember the Limbo Rock ' ' Tim Plate (above) wishes his nose was half an inch shorter Skid R oe Tom McCormick and John O ' Meara (left) were good ' n greasy as the evening ' s emcees. 103 ' Beautiful Day ' headlines St. Pat ' s day concert Creighton concert- goers were entertained by It ' s a Beautiful Day ' s varied musical talents, including Greg Brown ' s renditions on his electric violin. 104 i. ii6Ni iv ' i ' ' 4 Members of Phi Kappa Psi fra- ternity (above) concentrate on de-trashing the area between Swanson Hall and Brandeis (usu- ally referred to as Death Valley because of unidentified falling objects).

Donn Prepp (above), chairwoman of the Environment Committee, supplied volunteer workers, such as Town Council member Ray Sobczyl (left), with plastic bags, rakes and lemonade Something is finally done about litter Everybody talks about pollution, but few people actually do anything about it. The Creighton Environ- ment Committee put its action where its mouth was one weekend by sponsoring a campus clean-up. Anyone who has walked around campus, partic- ularly the area around Swanson Hall, knows that litter is a very real problem. It is not uncommon to see broken glass on the sidewalks, whole oranges and beer cans strewn over the lawns, and paper being blown all over. For many students it was apparently easier to toss garbage out of the window than into one of the two trash cans provided in every room. About f orty concerned students, including rep- resentatives from Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Kappa Beta Chi sorority and the Town Council, gathered to clean up the trash. Donna Prepp, coordinator of the project, handed out rakes and assigned sectors around the campus to be cleaned up. Thirty-two bags, each weighing between 50-100 pounds, were collected during the afternoon ' s work. Included in the items picked up were a car battery, a flag-pole stand, a for-sale sign, innumerable cans, and even a rug. The Committee also sponsored a tree planting day in April. Students planted a number of new trees throughout the campus to replace ones that had been lost to Dutch Elm disease. 107 Donna Byrd and Frankie Hayes join Sandra Owens and Hubert Cannon (above) for a little rest and refreshment between songs. Girls pick up the tab on Turnabout night Turnabout is fair play the old saw goes, and on the evening of March 23 it was true once more as the girls asked the guys to the annual Turnabout dance, held in the Peony Park Ballroom. The semi-formal event drew a good crowd, as couples danced to the music of the Black Image. Though the girls picked up most of the tab for the evening, the guys saved face by going to the bar for the drinks. The only survivor of the Winter Week activities. Turnabout was originally designed to fill the gap between Homecoming and Prom. Because there is no longer a Prom or even a Spring dance, it was the last all-university dance of the year. Nostalgia for the 50 ' s even had an impact on Turnabout dress (above), but Denise Rucinski and Tim Caule show that some things never change (below). 108 While the band takes a break, Mary Hinrichs and her jdate John Z es take time to dis- cuss their after-dance plans 109 t Nothing up his sleeve— students found a brief respite from mid- week boredom as Father Anthony Weber brought his Royal Lichtenstein Circus to campus.

Turnabout — major breaks in the monotony of everyday life. But there were other happenings during the year which, though they may not be considered major events, did add spice to students ' lives. There were speakers — LaDonna Harris on Indian problems, Ross Terrill speaking on the world situation. Professor Ronald Thill and vampires — who shared their ideas with students. There were parties, like the KOCU-East Quad Sock Hops and the Marquette Beer Blast, which helped students forget upcoming tests. The play was the thing, as the Speech Department presented lonesco ' s The King and an original play, Cast in Darkness, written by speech major Michael Feely. Even the circus came to town, when Father Nick Weber brought his traveling Royal Lichtenstein Circus to campus. Father Weber ' s troupe specialized in the fine art of mime — comedy without words. These and others brought welcome changes from boredom — and all became a part of Student Life. Molly Malone demonstrates her prizewinning style at the first KOCU-East Quad Sock Hop in November.

This is not to say that all students are ahke, or even basically similar. But there were some experiences that students shared. There were downs — like the time your roommate moved out on you — or you were a second semester senior and real- ized you missed a required course somewhere along the way — remember when you were all set to accept her invitation to Turnabout and she asked your pledge father? But there were ups too, good times that made it all worthwhile — like the time your chemistry professor took you aside, saying he had noticed the good work you ' d been doing — and Freshman Week, when you were engulfed by smiling faces that would prove to be your friends for years to come — don ' t forget the day two of your midterms were postponed because of snow. Then there were the constants, the unchangeables you could depend on amid the see-sawing ups and downs. — you always knew, no matter what, you could count on Irmaburgers on Friday nights — midnight Mass was as fixed as the Wood- men Tower — you came to realize tuition increases were not a passing fancy — and the Alumni Library, with its little men in the dark blue suits, also seemed secure — regardless of how many activities on the events list, you knew there wouldn ' t be anything to do at least one night of the weekend — and usually the only thing anybody cared to regularly comment on at Creighton was campus apathy — it was generally accepted that despite their mastering of educational concepts, Creighton students would never be mature enough to handle 24-hour open dorms — and it was comforting to know that even if you had sprained your big toe, it could be healed by Dr. Hession ' s little white pills and red cough syrup. In the ever-changing world of new theories and phil- osophies, at least Creighton students had some things they could hang on to.

Was it the alcohol legalization, the tui- tion increase. Fall Frolics? Maybe it was the Houston game.

Four new deans began their duties during the year. Dr. Robert Gerraughty took over in the Pharmacy school and Dr. Robert Vining moved up from acting dean of the Dental School to permanent dean. Dr. Eleanor Repp of Nursing and Dr. William Litzinger began their first full year as deans of their respec- tive schools. New programs were developed designed to increase Creighton ' s contact with the Omaha com- munity by helping and educating those in need. The Med school started a clinic in Tekamah, Nebraska; the Pharmacy school organized Project Speed to further drug education, and the School of Dentistry had a traveling clinic for regional areas with limited dental facilities. For the second year the university offered a mini- semester for area housewives who wished to continue their education. An experimental program designed to introduce significant innovative programming at the undergrad level in the form of independent study received final approval and was to officially begin in the fall of 73. Called the Curriculum Extension College, the program allows 22 students to live as a group off-campus and undertake their own program of study under the super- vision of a director. This could take the form of an internship, independent readings, a job, some class- room courses or a combination of these offerings.

Members are elected in their junior and senior years for service, scholarship and leadership ability. During the year Gamma Pi Epsilon helped sponsor a Women In The World Of Work program. This included female speakers from the worlds of business, law, communications, military services and the health sciences. Members of the honor society also held a tea for outstanding senior high school girls from the Omaha area. In addition, the society helped sponsor the William Warfield concert with Alpha Sigma Nu. Plans were completed to merge Gamma Pi Epsilon into Alpha Sigma Nu, effective next year.

The 1971 relaxation of required courses was the first major revision in the college curriculum in decades. Associate Dean Robert F. Schwieso said the changes were a sign of the recognition of the needs of students to personally develop their fields of studies. The curriculum adjustments made things more difficult for students, faculty and administrators, Schwieso said, but it is better in the long-run for all. A few more changes were added, intended to make the disciplines even more flexible. The previous history core requirement of World Civilization was expanded to allow students to choose from three other full year courses, including Modern European History and Black History. The core requirement of cultural studies for non-catholics was changed to a theology requirement exactly the same as for Catholic students. According to Schwieso, special arrangements for a theology project could be made if a non-Catholic didn ' t want to take Theology 40 and an elective. The English core requirement was reduced by one-half. An Arts College subcommittee on curriculum was commissioned to study the impact of the new requirements on the various departments. Arts and Sciences also experienced some changes in the area of administration. The dean for 11 years. Father Thomas McKenney, left Creighton for the position of president at Creighton Prep High School during the summer. Father Leonard A. Waters was appointed acting dean of the college until the death of Father Clement Schneider, vice president for academic affairs, in October. Father Waters was then appointed acting vice president and Arts was again without a dean. While a search committee looked for a replacement. Father Robert Shanahan was named acting dean. Father Shanahan had been at Creighton fo r 12 years and had most recently served as assistant dean for special graduate programs. As Miss Sung records the grade on his experiment.

How has it changed and adapted to the ever- growing student needs? Associate dean Robert F. Schwieso said college students today are more definite about what they want out of their education and cited the new requirements as an example of the university trying to help them meet their goals. Economic goals are more pronounced in students today, Schwieso said, yet they realize our economic society does not necessarily have room for them. For this reason, Schwieso said, he believes a liberal arts education must provide experiences that will meet these new student challenges, as well as traditional education experiences. Students can grow from man ' s past history to meet their leadership role as Christians in the future society, he added. The function of Arts and Sciences differs at Creighton from a state university, Schwieso feels, in that teachers in any discipline can speak of the relation- ship between God and Man without public criticism We offer a God-centered education, he said, In fact, we not only allow it, but encourage it. The function of liberal arts is development of the whole man, like putting pieces together in an educa- tional jig-saw puzzle. And then standing back so the pieces meld into a patternless picture. 133 Arts College strives for whole man 1 Neither rain nor sleet nor impending snow could keep dedi- cated students from tlieir early morning classes.

Next fall, the department will move into the vacated dental building, which will have been remodeled to suit its new occupants. There is no doubt that this will be a tremendous improvement. I think the program will expand and stu- dent interest will expand, Father Doll stated. Citing the cramped quarters, distance from campus, and difficulty in parking at the old school off-campus at 14th and Davenport, he added Students will find it much easier to walk across the street and work than to have all the hassle of going downtown. Getting a head start on the move, students began exhibiting their works in the Mobile Gallery on campus in December with plans for new shows roughly every two weeks until May. New equipment was also purchased in anticipation of the move. Photographers were able to do much more color work, due to the addition of a new color analyzer. Ten new potter ' s wheels were brought over from England, and ceramics instructor Jerry Horning built a new kiln. When the move is completed, many years of antic- ipation will be over. Father Doll commented, We ' ve been waiting for this for a long time. Now we can finally do some of the things we ' ve always wanted to do but could never accomphsh before. Fine Arts moved to campus for an open-air demonstration of skills to build student interest in the school Father Don Doll (above), acting department chair- man, positions a model for a portrait ' Throwing on the pottery wheel is demonstrated by instructor lerry Horning. 137 ludy Aimen pounds a strip ot silver in the first steps toward making a ring.

Visiting students were entertained at a luncheon and given tours of Creighton ' s campus. Scholarships were awarded to winning contestants. Mr. Leo Pieper of the Placement office spoke to the club in November on jobs available to graduates with math majors. Mixing pleasure with business, the club also sponsored several parties for members, including a picnic at Benson Park, a Halloween party and a Shakey ' s pizza party.

The group was in charge of most of the major social functions on campus, including the Blood Drive and Fall Frolics, Homecoming and Turnabout. The senate also organized a used textbook sale. With the cancellation of all-university Convocation, the senate was required to plan the convocation for Arts and Sciences, which was held in early spring. The group also appropriated $400 for a tutoring program. The program was open to all students who needed help, and was coordinated through Dean Sam Crawford ' s office. ' ♦ ■!!

Our challenge is to educate people to work in companies that don ' t exist, making products that haven ' t been invented, with jobs that haven ' t been created yet. How? We hopefully prepare people who can identify and solve problems— and can cope. — Dr. William Litzinger, Dean College of Business Administration 151 New Dean adds modular approach We are small and private. We can try things and throw them out while the big state school still has them in com- mittee. It ' s the educational free enterprise system and I believe in it. It ' s time we fish or cut bait. If the product doesn ' t sell, we are going to go out of business. — Dr. William D. Litzinger, Dean College of Business Administration Though nobody was talking about going out of business, the college of Business Administration has been forced to take another look at itself. In the past few years enrollment has been dropping at a slow but steady rate in both the undergrad school and the MBA —master of business administration — program. To make the school more of a working unit, the departmental structure was eliminated and replaced with a matrix management system. The system employs four area coordinators instead of former department chairmen. Its purpose, according to the dean, was to let people identify with each other based on what their interest is. However, this change met with some dis- approval as faculty members complained of weak imple- mentation, and at a meeting voted to request an evalua- tion. Dr. Litzinger held firm, saying the system needed more time before a valid evaluation could be made. A modular system was incorporated into the MBA program. Differing from the conventional approach in that three optional modules were available instead of just one, this system added flexibility so that students could select courses to fit their individual needs. The MBA Associates, an organization including students and alumni, was also formed to keep members in touch with new developments in business. Various educational programs were held during the year, and a newsletter was published. These measures met with instant success; the enrollment increased in the MBA program to over 120 students as compared to 80 the year before. The undergraduate school presented more of a problem. Efforts to stem the enrollment decline did not succeed, and the number of students was down again. Dr. Litzinger conceded that we must offer more than that school on Dodge. A business executive council composed of various leaders in the Omaha community was formed to bridge the town-gown gap and examine the role of the undergrad school to determine whether it should evolve into a professional school or maintain its present course. For the first time, students from Arts or Nursing had the option of taking a minor in administration. The program included eighteen hours of business courses.

In May a faculty interchange program v ras begun, w ith Prof. Cornelius Visser of the University of San Fr ancisco coming to Creighton to teach a mini- course in international trade. Plans call for eventual reciprocation by a Creighton faculty member to another school in the Jesuit system. A Sloan Foundation grant for a new computer terminal was approved at the beginning of the school year. The terminal was installed in the Media Lab, under the coordination of Professor Bond, and was connected by telephone to a Control Date 6400 computer in west Omaha. Helpful in solving accounting and management problems, the terminal was subjected to heavy student use. A banking seminar for Omaha bankers was conducted in October by the school and Golenbe Associates of California. The focal point of the seminar came when a board of directors was formed and participants made presentations to this board. In December the school sponsored an Alumni Jobs panel with six recent graduates returning to speak on their educational and job experiences. An overflow crowd of over 100 was in attendance. A cocktail hour was held to introduce the business executive council to the students following the panel.

' !:)«:] School of Pharmacy We ' re working on programs for better electives, better scheduling— but most of all, we ' re working to tie the students and faculty together for a more unified school. — Dr. Robert Gerraughty, Dean School of Pharmacy Expressing a desire to get closer to his students, Dr. Cerraughty made an effort to attend most school functions, including the Rho Chi all-school convocation. Plans for the new Pharmacy school (right) are displayed by Dr. Robert Heaney and senior Mario Sylvestri. 160 A representative of McKesson and Robbins, Mr. lack Fay, spoke to students on Pharmacy; Its Opportunities and Challenges. To discover the needs of area pharmacists. Dean Cerraughty, Dr Walter Cloor and Dr. Asaad Masoud traveled the Midlands in a trailer during the summer months. Gerraughty new dean: encourages ' feedback ' Pharmacy students returned in the fall to find a new dean, new curriculum and perhaps most impor- tantly a new mood in the school. Dr. Robert Gerraughty arrived on campus from Rhode Island University in late May and immediately became involved in his new duties as dean. One of his first projects was a tour of the Midlands in a trailer to become better acquainted with pharmacists of the area — in his words, to find out what their needs were — to get feedback from them. Dr. Gerraughty was just as responsive to his stu- dents. Pleased with their willingness to cooperate, he said that he found them more mature and more open-minded. He expressed a desire to be as atten- tive as possible to students ' needs. With pharmacy aimed more and more toward the clinical aspects, new emphasis was placed on the health team concept. Dr. Gerraughty stated One thing that impressed me about Creighton i s the coop- eration between the health sciences. A lot of people talk about it but here we ' re doing something about it. For the first time, senior pharmacy students worked with doctors on rounds at St. Joseph hospital. The school received a $100,000 government grant to re-evaluate curriculum. A number of new programs were being studied, including a modular approach designed to allow students to leam at their own speed. High school as well as pharmacy students were being interviewed as to their ideas on scheduling and pre-requisites. 161 students save $$$ in curriculum ciianges In a move designed to cut student costs, the School of Pharmacy switched from a four to three year pro- fessional program. Previously students were eligible to enter the school following successful completion of one year of pre-professional study, and then go on to complete the remaining four years of the total five- year program. However, curriculum changes placed the bulk of the pharmacy courses in the final three years of study, enabling students to remain in Arts and Sciences an additional year and thus save the extra $150 in tuition paid by Pharmacy students. Students were no longer freshmen, sophomores, juniors or sen- iors; instead, they were called first-, second-, and third- year students. An experiment in block scheduling was implemented in the second-year program as Biophysical chemistry and Pharmaceutics were combined to form one course. The idea was to form a continuous flow of material, but the program proved unsuccessful as students com- plained of an overload of work. Administrators attrib- uted the failure to monotony of subject matter and too much coming too fast. An Extra-mural Professional Practice Program was initiated in the third-year program which was designed to give students practical experience in pharmacy work before graduation. Students rotated between community pharmacies, clinic pharmacies, and hospital pharmacy work. A new approach was begun in hospital pharmacy as seniors were assigned to a health team, working with a resident, an intern, and two med students. The purpose was to train stu- dents for their new role as advisers and monitors of drug therapy. Richard Leff spent one week interning at Piel ' s Pharmacy as part of the new senior rotation program. 162 i 1 %r :-::- J Pharmacy is more than just counting pills.

The Drug Problem was open to all interested stu- dents. Nursing junior Barb Considine discusses the evening ' s lecture with Dr John Elder Drug education goal of Project Speed All over the country the drug problem has been raging out of control as abuse runs rampant in all seg- ments of the society. Convinced that the root of the problem lies in ignorance, Creighton pharmacy students and faculty aligned themselves w ith Project Speed, a new program aimed at reaching the community ' s youth on the drug scene. Creighton w as one of five schools chosen nation- wide to participate in Project Speed, which is Student Professionals Engaged in Education on Drugs. Project administrator JoAnn Leichliter said that good student cooperation and faculty concern were prime reasons for the selection, as well as the school size. We were realistic —we knew what would work and what wouldn ' t. We ' re small and we know where the buck stops. The main thrust of the program was an inter- disciplinary approach to drug education. A class designed for this end, The Drug Problem, was begun to help train teams able to go into the community with information on drug abuse. Joe Wiederholt, student coordinator for the project, emphasized that these teams would involve all of the health sciences and the law school. We need to look at the program from all aspects so that it can be more effective. Another aim of the program was to get Creighton students involved in the problem. When you go to school you don ' t get out and see what ' s really going on. We need to make students aware that the problem does exist in Omaha, Wiederholt added. Eventually, teams trained in the program will be sent to high schools and other interested groups in the area. Miss Leichliter concluded, They have ques- tions they want answered. And we ' re going to be ready for them. 165 SAPhA president Sam Bottaro explained plans for Pharmacy Week at a meeting of officers.

SAPhA pushes for professional unity SAPhA, student branch of the American Pharma- ceutical Association, involved students in a number of national as weW as local programs in pharmacy. The organization sponsored several speakers inclu ding Jack Nicholas, president of the APhA, and Buzz Klevens, the vice president of the APhA. Joint meetings were also planned with the University of Nebraska School of Pharmacy. Working in the community, SAPhA helped organize National Pharmacy Week in Omaha, mailing informa- tion to every pharmacy in the city. The Drug Education committee worked closely with the school on Project Speed and distributed packets of information on drug abuse, alcoholism and VD to all dorm residents. The organization also cooperated in a national effort for professional unity in pharmacy. Regular parties were held throughout the year, and the group helped organize the Alumni Banquet and Pharmacy Day. 167 Rho Chi members Mario Sylvestri and Shari Bruening (above) and Madeliene Hawking and Mark Erpelding (below) prepare for the all-school convocation and orientation Rho Chi sponsors school convocation Rho Chi, national Pharmacy honor society, spon- sored a convocation and orientation session for the Pharmacy school in September. Dean Robert Gerraughty was the featured speaker as plans were outlined for Criss III, which will house the school in 1975. New members were initiated in March. A reunion for Rho Chi alumni was held in conjunction with the initiation, which was the first such gathering in the history of the organization. Members also helped with Continuing Education Seminars sponsored by the school. These seminars were intended to keep area pharmacists informed as to new developments in their professions. 168 School of Dentistry can visualize that the future role of the dentist is going to change in some respects — he is going to have to become more knowledgeable in the manage- ment of people in the team dental health system. — Dr. Robert Vining, Dean School of Dentistry Expanded program for seniors developed From rags to riches — possibly the theme of the Dental school as final preparations were made to move to the new building across the interstate. Student dentists will say good-bye to their overcrowded, obso- lete building this summer and begin their stay in the new $10 million structure, which will include a much larger clinic and closed-circuit TV providing new oppor- tunities for teaching. Because of an expanded program for seniors, the school resisted trends to cut the number of years spent in dental education from four to three. Lectures were reduced in the second semester of the fourth year to allow students to take electives in their chosen field of dental health. Senior preceptorships were begun as students were assigned to a practicing dentist not only to observe but participate in the conduct of his practice. The Team — Teaching Expanded Auxiliary Manage- ment — concept took form as a program was developed aimed toward utilization of dental assistants in dental health care. These assistants would be trained to per- form routine duties, leaving dentists free to handle an increased patient load. The school received a special project grant from the federal government. This grant was designed to aid in the development of specialists to practice in isloated areas to evolve as an independent unit. These students received special courses, lectures, seminars and clinical experience beyond that of the average graduate. In preparation for oral surgery, Dr. Marshall Carson and Eric Wisdom study a model of the patient ' s mouth.

The department continued to operate the Indian- Chicano Health Clinic. The function of the clinic was mainly diagnostic; any work required was done at the Creighton Clinic on campus. Students in the department also traveled to many areas in the Midlands, offering check-ups and dental care to needy families. This service was provided for migrant workers ' children in Scottsbluff , needy families in north Cedar county and South Sioux City, and those in the seven-county Iowa Rural Head Start program, among others. Existing facilities at the location were used by students whenever possible. The department also conducted the Mobile Oral Cancer Diagnostic Unit in conjunction with the Medical School. A comprehensive dental health education program was conducted for pre-school and grade school chil- dren. Students gave lectures at the schools on oral hygiene and demonstrated methods for proper den- tal care.

In short, we are proud of them and we hope they will be proud of their school now and in the future. We have been working at providing more clinical and research opportunities, a more flexible curric- ulum and better facilities. Our additions of new chair- men and faculty members have added a new dimension of vigor and enthusiasm to the school, and we expect this trend to continue. ■Dr. Richard Andrews, Assistant Dean School of Medicine Creighton, U. of N. set up med center The number of applicants for Creighton ' s School of Medicine reached an all-time high as 8,500 students applied for 110 seats in next year ' s freshman class. The number of students selected for the freshman class increased over the past year from 104 to 110. To accommodate the rising class sizes the School of Medicine increased its faculty from 124 full-time teachers to 134 during the past year. Along with the new faculty a new Assistant Dean, Dr. Richard Andrews was named. Dr. Richard Booth was also named associate dean and director of medical services at St. Joseph Hospital. The curriculum was changed to give sophomore medical students the opportunity to gain clinical experi- ence. Previously, clinical experience was not offered until the junior year. The change was made to accommo- date the desires of the students who had wanted the change for many years. The Ph. D.-M.D. program also took root during the year. This program involved the acceptance of six men who held Ph.D. ' s in the biological sciences. These men were accepted as second semester sophomores and put in a catch-up tutorial program so they could proceed through their junior and senior years. The program was only started on a trial basis and any speculation about its success was pending. The School of Medicine also worked with the University of Nebraska in Omaha in setting up a medical center. The two schools combined their resources and talents by developing projects, conducting programs and exchanging faculty members. The new merger was named the Creighton-Nebraska Health Foundation. The go-ahead sign and federal grants were received to begin work on the third unit of the School of Medicine, Criss III, and a new hospital. Criss III was set for completion by 1975 and the hospital by 1976.

Total health plan begun In Tekamah In response to a cry for help from the people of Tekamah, Neb., the School of Medicine began a project on Oct. 30 to develop an innovative system of health care delivery for the citizens of Tekamah and surround- ing areas. The project ' s goal is to offer quality com- prehensive health care tailored to the needs of the region. A health clinic was opened in a physician ' s office that had been vacant for a year. The School of Medi- cine, along wfith Cottonv rood Health Center Inc., a locally controlled nonprofit organization that had been working for seven years to secure medical services for the citizens of Tekamah, jointly opened the health center and brought medical care to Tekamah on a five- day-a-week basis. The Cottonwood Health Center is staffed by per- sonnel from the School of Medicine and headed by John B. Hermann, executive assistant dean of the School of Medicine. Rather than impose a plan on the community the Creighton personnel tried to work with the community and develop a model for rural health care that will be applicable to hundreds of American communities. In serving the people of Tekamah the School of Medicine has tried to provide primary health care, including oral health, emergency medical services, a system for access to secondary and specialty health services, through Creighton ' s faculties in the health professions, clinics and affiliated hospitals, preventive health services and community health education. Richard Peters seems pretty sure of making his bid in a bridge game between classes, but his partner Tom Ferlic keeps an eye on the situation anyway. 183 School offers primary health care Sister Cecile Zielinski looks over a textbook currently being used by the med students as Ed Scbafer watches (above).

They are no longer intellec- tually isolated, but are more oriented to servicing the rest of the university and community. Dr. Steven Frankino, Dean School of Law Clinical experience offered to seniors The School of Law carried out last year ' s curriculum restructure which allows second or third year students all elective courses with the exception of two choices from each of two modules. Also up to the third-year student was the option to do clinical work in the Legal Aid Officer. About 40 to 50 student participated in the program. Other clinics available this year were the city and county attorneys ' offices and the city prosecutor ' s office. Dean Frankino cited the examples of clinical work as a shift outward by Schools of Law today to greater involvement with community and the rest of the uni- versity, Law Schools are no longer intellectually isolated, he said. Creighton ' s School of Law is co- operating more and more with the other schools on the legal aspects of certain disciplines. Frankino said he was pleased there are long-range plans for much inter- disciplinary sharing among the schools.

This year was one of expanding and planning in many areas for the School of Law, according to Dean Steven P. Frankino. Our major thrust was to complete the planning of the new Metropolitan Law Center, Frankino said, but along with that we worked on expanding the faculty, widening the curriculum and enlarging the library in all its aspects. The work which began this spring on the three million dollar Law Center, located between 21st and 22nd Streets, Cass to California Streets, was set for completion in August, 1974. The building was financed by alumni gifts, grants and loans. Frankino said the building would be more adapted to the school ' s needs, with four large classrooms, a moot court, a lecture hall with room to hold 600 and a much larger library. The library is our critical need, he said, because right now it holds 50,000 volumes while the new one will hold 125,000 volumes with possible room for 250,000 volumes. The building design is four approximately equal triangular spaces. Frankino said the main hall and faculty and student lounges will be domed, giving a courtyard appearance. The student body grew from 400 to 446 this year, with an expected growth to 500 next year. Five new faculty members were added, with four more pro- posed for next year bringing the total to 20 full- time professors.

Socially, the group sponsored a variety of parties throughout the year. Professor Rodney Shkolnick moder- ated the fraternity. 192 College of Nursing The status of nurses in today ' s world is getting more significant all the time, with more responsibility being given in many areas. It has been a product of our culture not to spend much money educating our daughters, but things are changing ' — Dr. Eleanor Repp, Dean College of Nursmg Nursing curriculum reviewed by facully I The College of Nursing began its second year as a school rather than a department with a new dean, Dr. Eleanor Repp. Previously an assistant dean at the University of Kentucky ' s College of Nursing, she found the size of that university too great to permit the type of health studies development she was interested in. Curriculum came in for major review. The teaching staff of 22 recommended to Dr. Repp a program that would admit graduates with hospital and associate degrees for baccalaureate study and also a program allowing for a degree as a primary care agent. This occupation is just opening up in the health sciences, Dr. Repp said, as the shortage of physicians and their limited time increases. A primary care agent would diagnose health problems, refer to physicians and do follow-up care. There is no problem on earth one discipline can handle, Dr. Repp said, noting that she is all for Creighton ' s plans enabling the health professions to share some instruction. I think we ' re moving along pretty well, Dr. Repp said. She said her main goal next year is to get closer to the students as she becomes acclimated to the school.

Women ' s lib seen as boon to Nursing The College of Nursing grew steadily with 12 more students this year, bringing the total to 257. According to Dean Repp, 25 new nursing students were expected in the fall requiring more classroom space. The role of nursing in today ' s society is changing, Dr. Repp said, as students are more career-oriented. She feels nursing as a profession is getting more signif- icant with nurses receiving more responsibility. The profession has not been given the respect it deserved in the past, not because the nurses weren ' t capable. Dr. Repp said, but because they were primarily women and less was expected of them. Nursing today owes much to the women ' s liberation movement, Dr. Repp said, and the new goal was professionalism. 197 Nursing cooperates in totai heaitii team 198 Instructor Donna Brown offers Kim Iwerson some tips on how to handle cranky patients during a lull in activity. . ] I r instructor Catherine Carboy helps Mary Phillips dig through the mounds of forms m a patient ' s file to find needed data. 199 Nursing Senate, (bottom) Judy Dietz, Mary Ellen O ' Neill, Virginia McCarthy, Linnea Carrepy, Maggie Troia, Katie Hart, Sheila Ryan; (top) loan Weisbecker, Nancy luelsgaard, Debbie Matte, Liz Laughlin, Reyne Choyeske, Barb Considine, Ellen Graham. Nursing Senate sponsors Dean ' s Tea Composed of members of the ad hoc committee, curriculum committee, and the two Student Board representatives, the Nursing Senate served as the stu- dent governing and planning body for the School of Nursing. The group organized all student nursing activ- ities, including the sophomore Capping Ceremony and the Senior Brunch. The senate also sponsored the Dean ' s Tea in September to give students an oppor- tunity to meet Dr. Repp. In addition to these activities, the senate also encouraged students to become involved in such volunteer activities as the Red Cross and Stu- dent Nursing Association. The Sophomore capping ceremony was one of sev- eral sponsored by the Nursing Senate. 200 i I Hanoi: VV I -re Ready I To Si xn AKry « ' nnc-nt Communications Human communication always faces two threats: those who have nothing to say may do most of the talking, and those who have something to say may not know how to say it— or how to get a hearing.

Creightonian marl s 50th year anniversary The constant pounding of typewriters, the general waihng and gnashing of teeth when the perfect head- line wouldn ' t fit, the endless challenge from editor to reporter to get the facts and the sigh of relief and exhaustion that arose every Thursday when the Friday ' s paper was put to bed— all these sounds emerged every week from the Creightonian office in upper Brandeis Student Center. The Creightonian celebrated its 50th year with a 16-page anniversary edition under first semester ' s editor, Laura Reinig. Changing campus modes of thought and dress, revealed in old photographs and analyzed in articles, were an effort on the part of the staff to show where Creighton had been and where it is right now.

Mfi Administration s:j- -.5giB?Si? 3i2 5sr. «i6:5ii!5£ '  a«: ' Mine is not tiie job if you lil e the easy life ' The role of an administrator is not simple. It de- mands rigidity, yet at the same time requires flexibility and understanding. The Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, S.J., sums up his position as the 21st president of Creighton University by saying, The buck stops here. A soft-spoken man with a serious, gently con- cerned face that can quickly ignite a virarm smile and twinkling eye, returning as swiftly to sober thought- fulness. Father Labaj somehow seems out of place behind his big oaken desk. From a first impression one might guess him to be an unassuming rural pastor rather than the president of an urban university. Such an assumption would overlook the tough in- terior of a man who has been making decisions as an administrator for almost 15 years. This was Father Labaj ' s third year at Creighton and he had several observations to make: on the role of today ' s university Father Labaj said while intellectual development is a primary concern of universities, he feels values are what make life worthwile. A university should help stu- dents discover for themselves, he said, and a Jesuit institution should find ways to make Christian values attractive. on his roJe in the university Father Labaj said the successful implementing of the curriculum reforms, though not an ultimate solution, and the acceptance of student input on university com- mittees have been satisfying to him, but he doesn ' t con- sider them personal successes. Our authority is more suasive than dictatorial. It is not the same as an ad- ministrator in industry. I can ' t step in wherever I dis- approve of something. I can ' t be all things to all men. I can only try to get in leadership roles people who will make good decisions in their areas. on the frustrations he faces Mine is not the job if you like the easy life, Father Labaj said. Calling his work challenging, he said he sees it as a valid apostolate with the hopeful opportunity of doing some good. I guess I ' m what you ' d call an old-line Jesuit, he said. If I had my druthers, I don ' t know what I ' d be doing. I ' m not used to being asked what I would like to do. Mostly I am frustrated by the lack of money and shortage of time to go as far and as fast with innovative reforms that I think Creighton should go, he said. He would also like to see philosophy and theology, though both very good departments, become stronger, to build what he terms a strong value center. A president, his own opinion doesn ' t always coin- cide with what must be done. Constant subordination of myself to what I ' m doing, has been the rule of Father Labaj since he became an administrator in 1957. He sees educational management as primarily the service of providing the climate for the rest of the university to be able to do what they feel is right. on students and communication with them Father Labaj said he doesn ' t like to classify all stu- dents as a group, but he sees today ' s students as thoughtfully, quietly concerned. They are still crit- ical, as earlier activists were, but they realize solutions are not easy and lasting changes take time. I know a number of students fairly well, he said, but I would like to have a lot more contact. Most of his student relations are with the Student Board members, he said, but he wishes he could get more of a feel of what other students are thinking. I would like to see the ideal where everybody is open, Father Labaj said, but I know this is difficult. 210 II N on the Student Board Father Labaj said he sees the biggest advantage of student government in the added opportunity it allows for students to develop, although it is valuable in rep- resenting students as well. He said he has gotten along well with the three Board presidents he has worked with. Concerning the Board plan to withhold tuition in- creases and senior pledges until 10 demands are met, he said he appreciated their position. Some of the things they asked for we wish we had started on 20 years ago, he said, but others can ' t come about with- out even more money. He said he anticipated some action on the Board ' s part toward the tuition hike, but he didn ' t think it would make the impact felt beyond this year. on the Board of Directors The directors are people who took the job be- cause they are interested in Creighton as it is now, as well as its historical tradition, Father Labaj said. Of course they are interested in the future, he said, but he feels they basically hold the same values as students and faculty. He noted that this year it was decided that stu- dents will meet with the directors for better communi- cation. It is important students feel we aren ' t running a factory, he said, because the primary concern of the Board and myself is for the student as a person. on the future We are facing the reality that the undergraduates are the core of a healthy, strong university and their retention will be of primary concern, Father Labaj said. Also, students input on budget planning will take place next fall. I hope the value-side of an education at Creighton will be strengthened in the future, he said, as well as better communication and sharing between the pro- fessional and undergraduate schools. 211 Fr. Waters appointed acting academic v.p. With the death of academic vice president the Rev. Clement Schneider, S.J., in October, the Rev. Joseph Labaj, S.J., appointed the Rev. Leonard Waters, S.J., as acting academic vice president. Father Waters had been acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; the Rev. Robert Shanahan, S.J., was appointed to fill that position until a new dean was named. Search committees were named to find permanent deans for the two positions. Mr. William Strauss, presi- dent of Northern Natural Gas, headed the committee for the new academic vice president and Dean Steven Frankino of the Law School was chairman of the search committee for a new dean for Arts and Sciences.

What he fails to mention is that the five members of the Society of Jesus and 21 lay mem- bers are the financial and planning leaders of Creigh- ton University. The Board acts much as would any large corporate board, governing financial aspects and leaving opera- tional decisions to the president and vice presidents. It is divided into five committees: Business and Finance; Development and Community Relations; Student Affairs; Health Affairs; and Academic Affairs. Each committee makes reports at the monthly board meetings. The Board works with university planning in terms of five-year projections, basing decisions on how the university will be affected during that period. Recent plans approved by the Board included air-conditioning Swanson Hall and funding for the new Law School building. Regulations to allow seniors to move off- campus were being studied in terms of the financial implications. And yes, the Board did raise tuition. Father Carl Reinert, board member and Vice president for Univer- sity Relations, noted, We are committed to keeping Creighton University running in the black or not at all. We explore every possibility for that purpose, with a tuition increase last on the list. Many students feel that the Board is trying to take them for all they can get; this is just not the case. But if we have to raise tuition to keep up with the cost of living, we will, un- pleasant as that aspect may be.

The year began on an optimistic note, as president Tim Lannon expressed a desire to restore communica- tion and take the government to the students. He also formulated plans for a more balanced events pro- gram, with events spread out over the year. But something went wrong with the formula. Two months rolled by, and barely a peep out of the Board. Students, angered because the Welcome Week concert had been cut but no replacement had been found, began to complain. Soon even president Lannon urged members to begin action. Everything came to a head at a closed meeting held Dec. 2. Members aired personal gripes as well as sug- gestions on how the Board could better represent stu- dents. The tuition increase was the first test. Though the increase went through, the Board developed its withholding plan which did provide some benefits, including funding of the Curriculum Exten- sion College and student representation on the Rank and Tenure committee. Another achievement was the proposal for student input on the planning of the 1973 university budget. The Board sponsored a proposal to allow under- grad seniors to move off-campus. Father Labaj sent that motion to the Board of Directors for final decision. More TGIF ' s and beer blasts were sponsored, in addition to the regular all-university dances. The Events committee, chaired by Board secretary Mary Higgins, had its share of difficulties, as the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose cancelled one day before their scheduled Homecoming appearance. They called in sick; in actuality they had signed to play in a night club on the East coast. Legal action was being taken. Attempts to schedule joint concerts with UNO also failed. The Spring dance was cancelled due to a presumed lack of interest. Four Board members quit during the year for per- sonal reasons, which had a somewhat disunifying effect on the Board. The Corporation in a meeting on February 25 approved a restructuring of the Board ' s executive coun- cil. The plan calls for a president and five vice pres- idents, each one to chair a committee. Individual schools also received more representation in the plan, which increased the numbers of Board members by two, mak- ing a total of 34.

Terry Shanahan studies the agenda before a Sunday night meeting At a meeting in November, Board members listened as president Tim Lannon expressed his dissatisfaction on the Board ' s performance. 218 For SBG members: frustration, satisfaction At the beginning of the year, Board members generally present glowing reports on how well the year is going to go, and generally moan how they wish it were over in January. But how do they really feel about their accomplishments after it was all over? According to Greg Schwietz, Business junior and a marketing major: Student interest at Creighton in anything is at a low level. J think about the best thing that has come out of this year ' s Board is in the meetings with Father Labaj and the vice presidents. At least we got some of our demands. Schwietz said he views the Board ' s tuition withholding plan as more or less advertising for their demands. Mary Anne Henry, an Arts senior and a math major, noted, There are a lot of frustrating things about work- ing on the Board, both with students and administra- tors. But when something does get done, there is so much saitsfaction. Mary Anne said she ran for the Board to just generally help out. Arts junior Sonny Foster said he felt the Board handled the tuition hike more effectively by having a specific list of priorities. We need to have a greater mandate from the students, he added, citing that only 380 students had signed withholding pledges. We didn ' t really tap town students, especially, Foster said. We are going to have to deal with town stu- dents more. For Board president Tim Lannon, it was a partic- ularly draining experience, but also a satisfying one. While there were satisfactions gained, such as the money raised for the Crampton fund, approval of CEC, and more student invovlement in university govern- ment, Lannon said that student government can be very frustrating. It seemed as if we were always getting pushed up against the wall. Just when we were going one way, we ' d hit a wall and be forced to find a new direction. Although Lannon said there was so much to do, he liked the involvement he had with other people. He noted that most student relationships had improved; he and other board members felt that the black-white relationship was the best that had been seen in several years. He added that the town-dorm problem still had to be resolved. I would have to say that I love Creighton Univer- sity, Lannon said, because of the people, the students here. 219 ■?i:i:fi Frank Schepers East Quadrangle Director Marjorie Steinberg West Quadrangle Director West Quad Council.

Quad Councils sponsor dormitory social events The East and West Quad Councils served as the governing bodies for the four dormitories. Composed of the governors and It. governors of each wing, the coun- cils also planned several social events for dorm residents. The West Quad Council sponsored a Human Rela- tions Conference in February to increase interpersonal aw areness. The council also sponsored a number of movies for residents and assisted with the Jim Crampton Fund and the Nicaraguan Disaster Aid Drive. The East Quad council organized two Sock Hops with radio station KOCU. They also sponsored a skat- ing party for residents in March. They were instru- mental in extending hours at the gym, bookstore and student center. The two councils worked together to investigate longer intervisitation hours in the dorms. They also combined their efforts in a leadership conference for members. :€ . r -- East Quad Council.

Alumni Association serves 65 chapters When students graduate from Creighton, they generally fan out to all parts of the country. It is the job of the Alumni office to make sure that news of the school is just as available to them as it would be if they lived in the Omaha area. 65 alumni chapters are organized throughout the country to keep over 20,000 alumni informed as to new developments in the university. A representative of the office visits each chapter yearly to update the alums on their alma mater. For those alumni still in Omaha (about 35 per cent of the total), the office plans a number of annual events, including a picnic, the Homecoming party, and a Thanksgiving mass and breakfast. An Alumni Council meets monthly to direct the activities of the Alumni Association. The Alumni office itself is directed by Bernie Conway, who is assisted by Chuck Maxwell. The Alumnews , published by the Public Relations department eight times yearly, also serves to keep alumni informed of university and alumni chapter events. Bemie Conway Alumni Director Chuck Maxwell Associate Alumni Director 221 He was always the first one to listen An excellent administrator . . . very open-minded ... a man concerned with students — these terms were hardly adequate to describe a man who helped guide Creighton through one of the most troubled periods in its history. When the Rev. Clement Schneider, S.J., died on October 20 at the age of 44, the Creighton com- munity felt a special sense of loss. Father Schneider joined the faculty in 1965 as a sociology instructor, and later became acting chairman of that department. The late Father Henry Linn picked Father Schneider from that post as his vice president for academic affairs. When Father Linn died in 1968, Father Schneider moved to the acting presidency. It was during his time as president that the open dorms controversy took place. Father Schneider agreed with students, and tried to help their cause. With the appointment of the Rev. Joseph Labaj, S.J., as president, Father Schneider returned to his previous position as academic v. p. But he did not fade away— he continued to make what he felt were needed improvements. Dynamic new deans were brought in to start new programs in almost all of the professional schools. He turned the university toward serving the community and won new rights for faculty members. But he was most concerned with the students of the university. According to Student Board president Tim Lannon, He was always the first one to listen and always the first to give us an opinion. When we wanted something done we ' d go to Father Schneider— we knew he ' d give us all the help he could. Father Schneider confers with fellow administrators Samuel Crawford and Eileen Lieben on new dorm regulations 222 H s dutivs as academic vice president-such as welcoming the new freshmen -made Father Schneider a famihar figure on campus. 223 .V .: •■ rs .

Few activities rivaled the popularity of sports on campus, as students broadened their already large range of sporting activities. Fall saw students participating in intramural base- ball and football. Tennis became a new favorite with the installation of tennis courts east of Bergan Hall. Rugby, Creighton ' s answer to football, brought excite- ment to many an autumn afternoon. As winter ' s cold arrived, students moved inside as basketball reigned. The Bluejays took to the courts at the Civic, and intramural basketball filled the gym five days a week. A new sport, hockey, was added to the lineup. In the spring, varsity baseball took up where basketball left off. This year, something new was added — women formed their own intercollegiate softball team. The ruggers began the second half of their season. The only difficulty proved to be available facilities. Creighton ' s location just doesn ' t have wide open spaces for baseball or football fields. The gym, built sixty years ago, was overcrowded and showing its age. Though a new baseball field is being built, it will be over 50 blocks from campus. But despite these handicaps, more students than ever participated in the sports program — and loved every minute of it. 227 Basketball: they should have stayed at home There ' s no truth to the rumor that Bluejay basket- ball coach Eddie Sutton planned an all-home schedule for the 1973-74 season. But he ' d have good reason. Though the Jays romped to as 12-2 home record, includ- ing impressive wrins over Ohio State and Houston, they continued to experience a road jinx, which pushed their away slate to 3-9. Taken in the context of one season, the road prob- lems seemed understandable. But add the away game scores from the two previous seasons and the total record sinks to a dismal 10-27. Yet the Jays have had winning records for three years, and in that way com- pensated for their traveling problems. Why such a hard time away from the Civic? Nobody really knows. Gene Harmon, 6 ' 6 forward, said, If I knew what was going wrong, I ' d try to do some- thing about it. I don ' t know why we have such a hard time on the road. Though it ' s true that the Jays play a tough schedule (one of the best in the nation) at home and away, some of the teams Creighton lost to on the road were beaten by as much as 20 points in Omaha. The Jays were great at home, in fact. Big guns Ohio State, Colorado, Arizona State and Houston found out how tough the Jays were on their own court. Consistency of play seemed to be the key. And the Jays would have to find it before they would become a tournament team.

Jays win first 3, then lose to Drake on road The year of the Bluejay — that ' s what they were saying after the 15-11 record posted in 1971-72. Give the sophs one more year, and we ' ll be in a post-season tournament. The season started out just that way with the Jays putting on a shooting exhibition against the Chilean Nationals, destroying the visitors 107-39. It appeared that this could be an omen of good things to come. The Jays won three more in quick succession at home over St. John ' s of Minnesota, the Salukis of Southern Illinois and on Homecoming night they thrashed the eventual Western Athletic Conference champs Arizona State 85-74. For the second year in a row the Jays had jumped off to a 3-0 season, and were set for their first road game. Drake was the opponent, renewing a rivalry that had lain dormant for nine years. In a lackluster per- formance the Jays were trounced by the Bulldogs 83-70. Christmas break came and students went home, leaving the Jays to face three opponents at the Civic in December.

The Broncos left Omaha w ith reg ard of their own for Crei hton how- ever, as the Jays dealt them an 86-73 defeat. Next on the agenda was Denver University. The Bluejays upped their record to 5-1 with a resounding 93-71 victory. The Ohio State Buckeyes rolled into town to close out 1972. Led by All- American Allen Hornyak, Ohio State was an odds-on favorite over Creighton. But in a display of good defense and deliberate offense, the Bluejays pulled off their first upset of the season, whipping the Buckeyes 79-71. The new year found the Jays on the road again, with Texas Tech as the first opponent of a two game trip. Hoping to up their record to 7-1, the Jays found tough competition in Texas and instead left at 6-2. Next was easy Denver University, a team the Jays had humbled by 21 points in Omaha. But the Pioneers struck gold in Colorado, defeating the Jays 69-61. With three straight losses on the road, the ugly term jinx again surfaced. Returning home, the Jays bounced back to make the Augustana Vikings their seventh victims. Students came back from break in time to see Creighton throw the Cowboys of Wyoming for a 79-69 loss. And then it was back on the road. Students crossed their fingers as the Jays tested the Rangers of Regis. But Creighton had no problem upping its record to 9-3 — and on the road, no less. What jinx? Next stop on the trip was in San Diego State, a Pacific Eight power which proved its mettle by making mince-meat out of the Jays with a strong running attack. Still reeling from San Diego, the Jays traveled on to Long Beach State, sixth-ranked team in the nation. Assistant varsity coach Tom Brosnihan said the 49er ' s were good enough to play in the NBA and they proved it by running up a 68-51 victory over the Bluejays. Weary from the heart-breaking road trip, the Jays returned to the friendly territory of Omaha toting a 9-5 record. All five losses had come on the road.

First up was NAIA seventh-ranked St. Thomas of Minnesota. With 7-2 center Bob Rosier, the Toms were expected to give Creighton a rough time. But in typical home fashion, the Jays made the Toms the tenth victim on Civic hardwood. The Jays weren ' t so lucky with the University of Tulsa. The Golden Hurricanes came storming into the Auditorium and swamped the Jays in a hard-fought game, their first loss at home, to leave them 10-6. Back on the road, the Bluejays paid a call on the Salukis of Southern Illinois, a team they had beaten in Omaha by 20 points earlier in the season. But SIU had been getting better all the time — and they handed the Jays their second straight loss, seventh on the year. In sunny Florida the Bluejays took on the Dolphins of Jacksonville University. Last year the Jays pulled off the upset of their season by defeating Jacksonville at home by three points. The Dolphins super six might have had that in mind as they dumped the Jays 78-62. Next up was the Air Force Academy, as the Jays traveled to Colorado. The Cadets put up a struggle, but the Bluejays shot them down 59-56, to up their record to 11-8. Back in the Big O, Creighton took on the Big 8- leading Colorado Buffalos on February 12. With an impressive victory over Iowa State the week before, the Buffs entered Civic Auditorium with thoughts of blowing us out of our own gym. The Jays had other thoughts, as Doug Brookins, Ted Wuebben and Ralph Bobik gave fine performances and put the Buffs in their place with a 76-67 victory. Two in a row, and the Bluejays were on the move. There was talk of a post-season tournament — again— but the Jays still had Houston, Marquette and Duquesne ahead, and they were all nationally ranked.

Houston was great, but it all ended in Pittsburgh! Have you ever had the feeUng that this v as ' it — as if the smell of victory wras in the air? That was the feeling of anticipation in the Civic Auditorium as the seventh-ranked Houston Cougars came to tow?n to do battle with the Bluejays. The game, nationally-televised, was a crowd- pleaser from the word go. The offense-minded Jays jumped off to a 6-0 lead, but after the initial shock the Cougars bounced back to go in front 12-10. It was a cliff-hanger from there on out, as the lead exchanged hands several times. It all went down to the wire — with Houston ahead by one point, the Jays played out the final seconds waiting for one last shot — and missed it. Doug Brookins attempt was blocked — but the Houston defender stepped out of bounds, and the Jays had a last chance with three seconds left. The inbounds pass went to Gene Harmon, who dribbled once and sent the ball 35 feet and through the net. Pandemonium reigned. The Jays took two more, as Ted Wuebben played the best game of his career to lead Creighton to an 88-76 win over Cleveland State at home and the Jays traveled to Pennsylvania to make St. Francis their next victim. Only Duquesne stood in the way of an N.I.T. bid. But the Dukes were a formidable obstacle, and the Jays didn ' t help their cause with a 30 per cent shooting average. All hopes for a post-season tournament went down the drain as Creighton lost by 32 points. The Jays completed their road season with a visit to North Texas State. The disheartened Bluejays were no match for NTS ' s shooting, and lost 72-69. This final road loss brought the away record to a dismal 3-9 on the season. Arch rival Marquette came to town to end the Jays ' season just as students were leaving for spring break, although many stayed for the game. They saw Marquette take their sixth straight victory over Creigh- ton in an easy 61-49 win. The Jays ended their season with the same record as last year— 15-11, and still no post-season tourna- ment. The road problem became worse than ever— but there ' s always next year. Where have we heard that before? 237 Lewis and Ellefson close out CD careers Monday, March 5, at Omaha Civic Auditorium, the people of Omaha and students at Creighton bid fare- well to graduating seniors, Al Lewis and Gene Ellefson. Lewis, the lightning quick guard from Chicago, was a three year starter on the Jay squads. Lewis aver- aged 10 points in his final campaign, but his worth to the team was about twice that, as he was the team leader on defense and the ball-stealer on the Jay squad. He planned to do graduate work in counseling, with the hope of coaching and working with young people. Gene Ellefson also ended his Bluejay career, with a 7.0 average this season. Gene, from Des Moines, was the man Coach Sutton brought in to set the team on fire. Several times Gene entered a game when the Jays were off and hit three or four quick baskets and get the Jays rolling again. Gene offered the younger Jays experience. He was selected as last year ' s Most Improved Player. 238 Zl cu 107 67 90 83 70 83 93 79 57 61 82 79 93 51 77 74 62 59 76 78 88 107 73 69 49 Basketball ftesuit§: 1 972-73 Opp Chilean Nationals 39 St. John ' s (Minn J 48 Soutl rn Illinois g . . . . . . , _ Arizo Btate. r . ■ ■ 70 Drake : 83 Santa Clara 76 pettver 71 (i Ki State 71 Texas Tech 59 ,,- ®fiji) - • • • • • • • - P-l ■ - « ' Ai « r.. . 70 Augustana 63 Wyoming . . . . . . . . . iniiiimuyri -rr — — rr -fQ Regis. . i irffTTTTTT ; ; C .C ' i ' ' ?

Walk-ons add depth to freshman team Creighton ' s first seven-footer, Mike Heck, from Papillion, Neb., led the Creighton Freshmen to a 12-5 season. Only three players were on scholarship after Al Bradish and Glen Allen had left for personal reasons. So coach Mike Caruso, in his first year, had a team that consisted mostly of walk-ons. Caruso was lucky in finding players like Dan Holt, Mark Gentile and Pat Brennan to add depth to his team. The lays ' two biggest wins of the season were over cross-town rival, U.N.O. The Jays played fine defense, and nipped the undefeated Mavericks 56-55 in their first encounter. Leading the Jays in scoring and rebounding for the season was Mike Heck, averaging 21 points and 12 rebounds. Darrell Heeke was second in scoring with a 12 point average, and Brian Long followed with 11 points per game. Heeke was the team ' s second leading rebounder with 11 retrieves per game. 241 The loneliness of the long distance runner— Frank Black Elk, plagued by injuries, walks away after another disappointing showing. 242 ■ . ( ■ Cross Country squad posts 3 - 3 record The cross country team started its season as hot as a September day in Omaha, but cooled like an autumn breeze as the squad posted a 3-3 mark. The harriers beat Midland College by forfeit, rip- ped Dana College as seven Jays finished in the top 10 runners, then beat Dana again for a 3-0 record at the halfway point of the season. But as the weather got colder, the competition got tougher. The inexperienced Jays lost to Kearney State and dropped their last two meets to Peru State. The harriers ran about 20 miles a day for practice. It gives you the satisfaction of knowing your mind can push your body to those limits, one runner said. You get a great feeling of accomplishment doing it . This was the only satisfaction most runners would get as Coach Mike Caruso and the opposing coach usually were the only spectators at the meets. Caruso, in his first year as coach, will look to the future success of the team. His top two runners, George Holland and Bob Duesman, are freshmen. Record-hold- ing junior Frank Black Elk, troubled by ill health, was expected to return to form a strong nucleus of Jay run- ners for the following year. The harriers compete against Kearney State in Elmwood park (above) and practice a start (below) before the next heat. . ■ ■ .

With eleven returning lettermen, eight freshmen and three junior college transfers, the Jays baseball team should improve on last year ' s 16-17 record. Coach Dave Baker, in his second year as head coach, seems to have put together the best team of the last three years. Coach Baker is relying on last year ' s leading hitters Steve Naval and Jim Lemon to supply the bulk of the hitting. Joe Butkiewicz, juco transfer, and freshman Ron Williams virill give added scoring punch to the lineup. Pitching duties v ill be handled by veterans Ernie Rongish, Gerald Johnette, and freshmen Tom Bohn and Rich Dominick, who v ras drafted out of high school by the Chicago White Sox. The Jays opened their season w ith a nine game southern road swing. Things didn ' t go too well, how- ever, as they dropped their first three games. Texas Wesleyan took the first two by scores of 3-2 and 6-4, and the University of Texas at Arlington socked the Jays 11-3. The remaining six games of the trip were rained out.

The rough-and-tumble action, plus the free beer provided for the fans, persuaded throngs of students to put down their books and support one of Creighton ' s newest sports. Playing their first fall season, the Ruggers finished with a 5-7 record, an improvement over last spring ' s 3-7 mark. The record stood at 5-6 as the Ruggers went to Kansas City to play in the Heart of America Rugby Union Tournament. The Ruggers dominated most of the game against Central Missouri State, leading 12-11 with less than a minute left in the game. But a mixup in the defense resulted in a try for Central Missouri and a 15-12 loss for Creighton. With the full squad returning for the spring season, including such standouts as Rich Anderson, Tom Collins and Dan Morissey, the Ruggers hoped to im- prove on their fall record.

Hockey organized through student effort Say hockey and you conjure up pictures of cold and ice and the North, because that ' s where it ' s played. Anyone who has ever experienced a Nebraska winter knows that Omaha qualifies, so it was only natural that Creighton have a hockey team. It did. An idea in the mind of transfer student Steve Porto, the team became a reality when 20 players, with their own money, rented the ice at the Benson Arena. The Student Board put up $250 to help get them started. The squad complied a 3-9-2 first year record. They played teams from UNO, Grinnell, Regis, and the Uni- versity of Nebraska at Lincoln. For 1973-74 the Club hoped to be able to play in the Ak-Sar-Ben Arena. But to even continue, they needed aid from the athletic department.

Bill Horning, a new physical education teacher from Ore- gon, took over as IM director. The softball season was moved to early fall, and the football season began play after softball ended. All intramural games were switched from Kellom and Gifford fields to Adams Park. Softball created a great interest in both fast and slow pitch leagues as over 20 teams competed. Emphasis was on both student and faculty participa- tion. Doc ' s Bumps won the fast pitch league with a 5-1 victory over Delta Chi I. Doc ' s Bumps was composed of both faculty members and students.

The intramural department was criticized by some students for poor scheduling of the football season. With the cold weather setting in, a decision was made to take the top three teams from each league and put them into a playoff. The freshman league was to have its own playoff. After a snow delay and Thanksgiving break, the IM football season came to a chilling end as Delta Sigma Pi defeated last year ' s IM champs, the Dents, 14-7, in 10-degree weather.

Last year ' s champs the Animal Crackers, now Duck Soup, continued to hold down the number one position.

The annual rush ritual attracted a number of pledges to add to the Greek membership — more students pledged than ever before, even though Tri Sigma sorority and Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity folded last year. The Greeks introduced themselves to incoming freshmen early as they sponsored several of the func- tions during Welcome Week. Rush activities for the sororities began right after the beginning of school, vkfith an autumn picnic and a formal tea. Bids were then given and pledging began, with activation during second semester. Fraternities opened their rush season for freshmen in January with a round of smokers and TGIF ' s. Activa- tion for the pledges was held in April. After rush is over, pledging begins. Pledges spend long hours chasing down actives to get their signatures. 264 Delta Zeta sorority set up quite a feast at its formal tea for incoming pledges (above) Theta Phi Alpha actives put on a show of unity as they sang their song for rushes. The idea is to get everyone to know each other on a first name basis, so the Kappa ' s made favors for each guest. Nancy Ricceri attaches hers. 265 9j a Aii Delta Zeta.

At Panhel, Joanie Parker was selected girl of the year and DZ ' s also received the highest QPA of the sororities. The DZ ' s ushered at the Civic Auditorium and sold stationery as money-making projects. They participated in the Canned Food drive and ushered at the Jim Crampton Benefit game. Annual events, such as the province convention and steak fry were also held.

The ASG ' s also cooper- ated with the Delta Chi ' s in a hot dog sale at the Cerebral Palsy Walkathon and sold candles for Flame of Hope to aid the mentally retarded. The sorority demonstrated its athletic prowess by teaming with Kappa Beta Chi to take the Phi Psi Pow- derpuff football game. A pledge exchange program with SAE fraternity was conducted, as ASG ' s served as big sisters to SAE pledges and vice versa. A committee was formed to find a house for the group; it would be the first off-campus lodge for a sorority. President Pat Shiely cited a need for the house: Sororities at Creighton tend to be more dissociated with members because of lack of a common meeting place. We need some place to enjoy ourselves and en- tertain our guests. Terese Knowles, Marilee Buddi, Marlene Clark and Mary Ann Hilger enjoy the Labor Day Beer Blast.

President Gloria Sawyer said We concentrated on a variety of local drives rather than on a single, national project this year. The Canned Food drive, Blood drive, and Cerebral Palsy drive were among their activities. A hayride, TGIFS ' , and an annual steak fry were popular events. Patty Lynam was named first runner- up at Homecoming. The Dad ' s Night dinner. Founder ' s Day, Mother ' s Day, and Theta Male Relays were contin- ued.

SAE members visit St. James orphanage Sigma Alpha Epsilon, national social fraternity, concentrated many of its efforts in working for and servicing the Omaha area. Several members of the fra- ternity participated in the Omaha walk for hunger and the Muscular Dystrophy Drive. In addition, fraternity members made weekly visits to St. James Orphanage to provide big brothers for children at the orphanage. The fraternity also participated in the Fall Frolics blood drive and sponsored the annual SAE Spring relays. Social events for Sigma Alpha Epsilon included a spring formal, a Roman orgy and a Halloween and Christmas parties. 277 Phi Kappa Psi captures first Mr. Ugly title For the first time since the inception of the Cutie- Ugly contest at Fall Frolics, a representative of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity won the Mr. Ugly title. Phi Psi Pat Fahey was declared the winner in the annual blood drive over SAE ' s Ben Haller in a hard-fought contest. Fraternity members escorted children from the J. P. Lord School for the Handicapped to the Henry Doorly Zoo in the fall. They also helped man the KOIL Haunted House over the Halloween weekend with proceeds do- nated to various Omaha charities, and took children from the Omaha School for Boys trick-or-treating. Members teamed with ASG sorority in sponsoring the Freshman picnic. The annual Phi Psi Powderpuff game was again held, as well as Founder ' s Day, a spring formal, and a mini-luau. Efforts were initiated to replace their present lodge with a larger and more attractive house. However, first attempts met with failure as a zoning restriction pre- vented the acquisition of their primary selection. New sites were being considered.

The new home of the Delta Chi ' s is at 3505 Cuming. Members completely remodeled the house themselves. The purchase was made possible through a loan from the national fraternity. Fraternity members also earned money to repay the loan by working for Catering Management, Inc. cleaning Upper and Lower Brandeis on a nightly basis. Delta Chi participated in the Fall Frolics Blood Drive and for the second year sold copies of The Blue- jay. The Delta Chi ' s placed second in the all-university intramural baseball competition. Thirty-four students became Delta Chi pledges during the year. Several parties were held in conjunction with university events along with spontaneous weekend parties.

We took pride in the fact that our small number could handle such events as Casino Night and assist at registration both semesters, he added, and this attitude carried over to our rush program and helped make it successful. DU was in danger of folding this year after member- ship had dwindled to only 15. But with a rush that emphasized friendship, that number had doubled by spring. The high point so far has been the acquisition of a rather large house in West Omaha, he said. This has been one of the big factors in keeping us together. DU sponsored the second annual bike race and tabbed it a success even though it didn ' t get a lot of student response. Gaule added, We did receive a lot of local news coverage and a good response from a lot of bike clubs. The most successful event sponsored by the fra- ternity was the movie Bullit presented to a crowd of over 400 in Riggi Lecture Hall.

In cluded was a repre- sentative from International Business Machines. Members of Delta Sigma Pi offered their services to several different groups in the Omaha area. They helped staff radio station KOIL ' s Haunted House for the benefit of disabled children and collected honey on Honey Sunday. Members of the chapter also treated several retarded children from the Eastern Nebraska Community Office of Retardation (ENCOR) to an after- noon picnic. For the second year in a row the Delta Sigs cap- tured the all-university intramural football title. The social calendar for Delta Sigma Pi included several weekend parties, a Christmas party and a for- mal Rose Dance in the spring.

The Greeks did vifhat they could to make sure they got them. The Phi Psi ' s sponsored their annual Pow der Puff football game for the sororities on November 29. The Kappa Beta Chi ' s teamed w ith the ASG ' s against the DZ ' s and the Theta Phi Alphi ' s. The KBC-ASG team, coached by Chris Kelly and Duane Potts, overwhelmed the DZ- TPA ' s, coached by Tom Hagan and Sarge McMahon, by a score of 30-0. Mark Sheehan organized the event. The DU ' s sponsored their annual bike race in Sep- tember. Bikers peddled through an obstacle course and a distance run around the campus. Tony Tubruck won the obstacle course competion and Barry Gooch took the distance event. Other events scheduled for the year were the Phi Psi 500 and the SAE Spring Relays. 287 ■ y -it H 4 i y -•Vj ...... - li . :••:••■ V , .VVr-  ' . - ,.■, i ' M: r w? ' • •■ ■■■■■:■■ ■■ si l •V ' ' .

The Placement office attempted to help by arranging interviews between students and interested businesses. An increase in the number of companies conduct- ing interviews on campus this year reflected general improvement in the job market. More businesses expressed interest in Creighton graduates than in pre- vious years. Accounting majors were in the greatest demand — many accountants were assured of a posi- tion months before actual graduation. Leo Pieper, director of the Placement office, was optimistic about the future. Things look pretty good. I really think that prospects will be much better this year than they have for the last few graduating classes. Though he attributed most of the upsurge in jobs to better business conditions, he added that there seemed to be another underlying reason. Business was leery of long-haired radicals. Now that things have quieted down, they seem to have more confidence. The job picture brightened as the number of interviews on campus increased.

Senior Mary Anne Henry picks up some pocket money by working in the Brandeis Student Center (above). 291 There was a time when students had to fight for the open-dorm privilege that later was taken for granted Students got it together for a week-end of demonstrations that included a sleep-in in the Swanson Lobby (above) and placard carriers (below right) as Lee Terry and the rest of Omaha watched in horrified astonishment. Politics has been likened to a circus arena, so this campaign elephant for Student Board President candidate Bob Hobbins wasn ' t too much out of place. Hobbins was the first SBC president elected by the students. 292 It was a time for activism and relevance To be a senior — king of the hill, lord of the moun- tain, the master of any situation. A heady experience, but also nostalgic, because when you leave Creighton, it will be as an alumnus — no longer a student. The years spent here will seem surprisingly short or horrendously long, depending on one ' s point of view. But there have been some changes made — and Creighton is just as different now as you are from that high school graduate who came to the campus four or so years ago. Remember your freshman year? From the superi- ority of seniority to the insecurity of once more being the bottom rung. You found Creighton a new experi- ence. Relevancy was the word, and action was the theme. It was the year of peace — the student movement was at its peak. Students were not afraid to express their views, and finally clashed with the administra- tion over open dorms in a weekend of demonstrations that made national headlines and earned Lee Terry ' s angry denunciations. Students lost that battle but won the war— next year saw the institution of the first per- manent open dorm hours. Socially, the year was also one of turmoil. Home- coming displays, no longer deemed relevant, made their final bow, but Blood, Sweat and Tears turned the week into a smashing success. The Coffee House made its debut as a haven for the new generation of stu- dents. And the beer blast was just beginning its ascend- ancy to popularity. It was a year of turmoil, a year of activism, a year for involvement — maybe the wildest year in Creighton ' s history. And it set the stage for ' 70-71, the twilight of student activism. Give a damn? Apparently not many did, at least about Home- coming displays. They were dropped after the 7969 festivities. In ' 69-70, peace was what it was all about. Pete Reedy flashes the sign that became the symbol for student involvement. 293 Shots, bomb scares and Baptiste livened 70-71 Freedom, responsibility, fires, bomb threats, Kent State, Baptiste, rifle shots. Turnabout — and you were a sophomore. The activism of the late 60 ' s carried into 70-71 as students continued to protest the war in rallies, demonstrations and marches. But there were new issues to be confronted as a concept called women ' s lib became a reality. The fight for open dorms was won when the Student Board ratified the proposal and the administration agreed. Dorms were a center of excitement in other ways as rifle shots shattered the quiet in Kiewit. Girls moved their beds from windows in fear until the sniper, a former student, was caught. Numerous bomb threats also livened up many a dull evening until the novelty died down and it became just another hassle. Where were you on Jan. 3, 1971? Probably not in Omaha, even though you were supposed to be. Few students will forget the blizzard that left many stranded at airports, train depots and at points between Omaha and Des Moines. School was cancelled for three days. It was the Year of the Tree — Cyril Baptiste. One well-known sports magazine ranked Creighton number twenty-one nationwide in a pre-season poll while others placed the Jays still higher. It was a dream not destined to be, however, and students once again had to console themselves with a winning season. But the trip to Notre Dame was a blast. Turnabout was created to bridge the gap between Homecoming and Prom. Who was to know a year later it would be the other end of the bridge as Prom died after 71. Remember King and Queen Creighton? Idealism was very much the tone of the year, but it was beginning to fade. Students were ready for a transition and 71-72 was the year. The shots beard round the campus — these coeds wait outside Kiewit after rifle fire caused evacuation of the dorm. Numerous bomb threats also forced students to leave their warm rooms to stand outside in the cold. 70-77 saw its share of celebrities— Richie Havens had ' em stomping their feet at the Homecoming concert; Gloria Steinem gave her version of herstory, and Cyril Tree Baptiste gave promise for a top-twenty team — until the bubble burst. ib Peace was again a dominant issue 500 students gathered in the East quad to pray for the end of the war (above). The Coffee House (below) was the in spot on campus, with its entertainment and psychedehc lighting. f 295 Remember cheerleaders? Not many will — the squad was disbanded after controversy over the national anthem. Tuition goes up at Creighton as regularly as the sun These stu- dents fought the increase actively with the same results as their predecessors and successors — the sun still rises. Teddy Boesen and Michelle Manatt congratulate each other after winning a close Ugly-Cutie race (above). Students help gather blankets for Pakistan to aid refugees from Bangla-desh (below). 296 Tradition won, but demonstrations failed Suddenly, going to college was no longer a show. Your junior year was quite a contrast to the first two at Creighton. Demonstrations were no longer fashionable. In their place were blood drives, blanket drives, and can drives — all met with great success and little fanfare. Students did protest the tuition increase with the tactics that had proven so successful a few years before during the open dorm fight, only to meet with resounding failure. Cheerleaders, once symbols of unity at basketball games, became the center of controversy when they refused to stand for the national anthem. After long debate, the issue was settled when the squad was disbanded. Tradition was once again challenged as debate raged over whether or not to have a Homecoming Queen. Students resisted previous trends by overwhelmingly voting to maintain tradition — and it was indicative of a new student mood. And now you ' re a senior, and these are only memories. But you ' ve come a long way in four years, and you ' ve taken Creighton with you. It ' s been an interesting journey. 297 Maelee Davis decides which table to tackle at registration first (left).

The introduction, plot, climax and ending might not be readily apparent, but they are there nonetheless. ' ' The year went by so fast, right? But the year, or even the days, didn ' t speed by; it was you who moved swiftly. Sometimes you may have regressed where you could have accelerated, but at least you could always call it a learning experience. i 337 In the midst of college life, things sometinnes became muddled. You were cramming for exams, frolicking at beer blasts, fighting with your boyfriend and witnessing the end of the Vietnam War, all at the same time. You were trying to hold down a part-time job, ceep Mom and Dad posted at least occasionally on what you ' d been up to, help a friend with his troubles, plan for the future while still living for today, serve on committees, have some fun when you could fit it in and before, after, in-between, in spite of and throughout, you were reading, writing, asking, discerning, perceiving and reading some more. Just when everything would seem the haziest, you would see a glimpse of reality. You saw that a fuzzy concept of life written in a book could be used in forming your own concepts. 338 ■■•Mai ■IK3MMI u, fc Ill4li«ttl; r . ■ . I 339 340 ' i - And then it was all over. Though you were leaving the friends, the fun times and the semester ' s classes, you knew your goodbyes were as good as the hellos you voiced each fall as you returned to a place, a home, a school. It wasn ' t a perfect place, but it was a part of you that can ' t be forgotten nor recaptured. It taught you a lot, for sure, but perhaps the greatest thing you learned was to KEEP REACHING. 341 Abern.
