Is it told hy the number of pints of hlood given in the Cutie-Ugly drive? Or hy the weary students who drag themselves out of bed on a cold Friday morning to make it to their 8 o ' clock class on time? Or does the plot unraveJ with the cheerleaders ' cries on the haskethall court during time-outs? It ' s all of these and more. It ' s the student teacJier patiently explaining the multiplication tables for the umpteenth time. Or the chemistry major hrutishly cramming for an Organ ics exarni. It ' s the Security police patrolling the parking lots to look for violators. Or the Convocation that no one ever attends. It ' s the Student Board of Governors doggedly trying to accomplish something despite student accusations of apathy. 6 But, was this year the same as last year or the ones before? No. It was different. What made this year unique? What set it apart from all the rest? You did. You were here. Living, laughing, Joving. Ever changing, yet remaining . . . you. Growing with each encounter. Learning by defeat and rising to try again. Reaching out to make new friends, yet always remembering the old ones. You were here when fire alarms were pulled at all hours of the night. You wearily stumbled out into the cool night air to wait out the search before falling back into bed, only to wake up again an hour later when the next alarm went off. You were here to bask in the August sun and be caught off guard by the cold September rains or to help push a car out of a three-foot snow drift that had conveniently jumped into its path on the icy street. You were here to sit in the quad chatting with friends. Or just to sit. Thinking. Remembering. The days went by so fast that you barely had time to change the calendar before another month was gone. They were filled with joy over a date for Fall Frolics, exhaustion after typing the last word of a 20-page term paper and despair after finding out it had to he 30 pages long. But, always satisfaction that something was being done. Somehow, some way, something was being done. And you changed. Without knowing it, you changed. 10 11 -- t .  m mm m kLi. ' V ' .. - W JL, m ■ ito.- - -t-- Student Life - Seeking a respite from rugged summer class schedules, many students hurried to the tennis courts during their breaJcs. Others turned their steps to the Student Center. When dad can ' t find a babysitter, beloiv, he can always bring the kids along. Area high school students, right, participate in the local Upward Bound program. 14 The (heater of the Streets brought drama to the quiet campus via its truck- u of acting ability. Another form of drama was levied at the students during the hectic summer ciass registration. Summer visitors infuse vitality into calm campus With under 1,400 students this summer, the pace on campus was reasonably slower in June and July. But for those students who did stay behind, there was no slowing down. It was just the right opportunity for a variety of groups to inhabit the campus. The Theater of the Streets faced its usual adver- saries of rain and mosquitoes, as the Creighton drama group rolled across the Midlands visiting cities in Nebraska and Iowa. Begun in 1971, the theater group operates from a truck, that serves as a stage for their performances. Upward Bound also breathed life into the campus when the program sponsored 50 high school students, who spent six weeks on campus going to school in col- lege classrooms. The program, designed to motivate intelligent stu- dents having problems in high school, gives them a look at college classes. Students spent five hours a day in class brushing up on problem areas. 15 750 new underclassmen meet sleeping mini-city The sleeping mini-city on California Street sprang to life once more in late August when students flocked there for the beginning of Creighton ' s fall semester. Double-parked cars lined the streets as suitcase- laden students moved into their part-time homes. For approximately 750 anxious freshmen, this was the first try at college life. What a change from high- school! For some, so far from home, and for others, al- though still living at home, it was quite a change. Their anxieties were short-lived, however, when Upperclassmen met them at Eppley Airport to escort them back to campus. Townies were also greeted by Upperclassmen after their arrival on campus. Tours around the university were slated to introduce the students to the schools. But new students and old alike fell into the swing of Welcome Week activities. Get-togethers, concerts, parties, picnics and many informal activities high- lighted the week ' s schedule. By the first day of classes, students, although not quite ready to hit the books, were eagerly anticipating their second week-end on campus. Above, Col. James Castrate gels acquainted with Tom Brabec as right, sophomores Peggy Meyer, Aine McCarthy, Vi ' nce Calderola, Phil Cerra and Michelle Jones meet the freshmen. 16 Meeting old friends, moving back in and still finding time for yourself were all crowded into the busy Welcome Week schedule.

While some students renewed friendships and discussed summer blues, junior Matt Redle, burdened with belongings, begins the hectic task of moving home to the dorms. 17 m - Food, games get top billing at Freshman picnic What do you do at a picnic? For starters, rollicking games, such as the wheeJ-barreJ race above, have a way of bridging the silent gap between strangers and a pie-throwing contest always hits the spot on a blistery August day. But the food line, at top, remains the center of attraction around noontime. T ! :v An exhausted freshman takes a breather below while right, Geri Keane and Leo Schumacher prove that three legs are better than two, especially in a three-legged race. Kathy Ryan, Nancy Horan, Sally Mach and Anne Paulsen, below, survey the picnic from their lofty spot on the jungle bars. 20 McCarthy visit sparks Welcome Week activities Eugene J. McCarthy, former Democratic presiden- tial hopeful, spoke to 400 Creighton students in Upper Brandeis to round out Welcome Week activities. The former democratic senator from Minnesota, said, America is discovering her military, moral and economic needs. But, he warned, future programs in these areas must recognize these limitations. McCarthy jokingly compared the scholastic ethics of Watergate defendants James McCord and E. Howard Hunt to Jesuit teachings, which brought a rousing response from the Jesuit-taught students. McCarthy recommended strict curtailment of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Armed Services Special Forces. He said these agencies had caused suspicion and mistrust in other countries by their secret and often illegal acts. The former senator, who was a candidate for the democratic nomination in 1968 and 1972, said Ameri- cans have been forced to revise their Cold War concept of infinite American power and moral righteousness. He said the United States had expanded militarily until we could kill the world two and one-half times. It ' s good to learn your limitations if you have been living with illusion, he said. Disillusion is a part of wisdom, but we can ' t lie in it. McCarthy said we must rid ourselves of problems like poverty, discrimination and unemployment before we can criticize other countries on moral grounds. He said he thought college students were less polit- ical now than in 1968, when he sought the Democratic presidential nomination. The end of the Vietnam War and the draft have removed the personal burden from the college students, making them less militant, McCarthy said. According to McCarthy, the Cold War also convinced Americans of their role as moral leaders of the world. But, he said, after My Lai most Americans would be slow to claim a monopoly on righteousness and good- ness. At least, he said, we have made the moral judg- ment by ourselves that the Vietnam War was wrong. Currently the senior editor for a publishing firm, McCarthy has continuously written for magazines and authored several books on political and govern- mental topics. Pain, anxiety and confusion enveloped students as they journeyed from one line lo the next at the endless tables at registration. Laden with IBM cards, identification forms and mailing slips, the students at left groped their way through the jumbled maze. Halfway registered. Arts junior Ed MiiJer, above, waits as checker Diane Drahota looks for mistakes on his class schedule. Casino Night fun erases registration frustrations A wise man once said man must take the bad times with the good. Creighton students realized the truth in these words when they found themselves plagued with the horror of registration one day and relieved by the fun of Casino Night the next. Confusion is a polite way to describe registration at Creighton University. At the beginning of each semester, students are faced with the tedious task of filling out forms, IBM cards, and more forms. The only smiling faces seen in the gym this year were those of the seniors, who knew that they would never have to look another IBM card in the eye again. By the end of registration, the underclassmen were resigned to the idea of at least two more bouts with the forms. But after the agony of registration had subsided, students turned to a more pleasant side of campus life. Casino Night, an annual Mardi Gras at Creighton, enticed many poker fans and roulette lovers to join in the games. Although only play money was at stake, the money -hungry auctioneers were ready to grab any and all from the highest bidder. Arts freshman Barb Beck timidly calls out her bid during the madness of Casino Night. Karen Skory, below, contemplates whether she should risk it and stay in the game or pass as Father ]ohn Schwantes raises the bid by two. 23 Sounds of Boop-diddilly-bop-bop filtered (hrough (he campus from Rigge Plaza where Flash Cadilac and group took students back in time to the not-so-long-ago ' 60 ' s when rock-and-roll, prevailed. Cindy Sedlacek at right gets a helping hand from Stan Currant. Sounds of ' 60 ' s close Welcome Week of 73 On a sultry, Sunday afternoon, Flash Cadillac injected spontaneity from his audience, ending Fresh- man Welcome Week favorably. Performing songs from the 1960 ' s, the viewers were drawn into another musical era. The style of the con- cert was reminiscent of the movie, American Graf- fiti, in which the group appeared. The format of the concert included jokes and comments using the slang of the period. Delta Zeta Sororit} ' members sold lemonade to the thirsty crowd, but the sacks and coolers of beer appeared increasingly as the concert progressed. The more informal atmosphere of Rigge Plaza, where the concert was held, enabled returning stu- dents to renew old friendships and new students to mix with the entire university. By presenting the concert outside, the Student Board of Governors also saved one-thousand dollars on the event. J 24 Students lined the Rigge PJaza to attend the Flash Cadillac concert during Welcome Week. Nostalgia prevailed everywhere. While Flash entertained, Bill deMars, left, enjoyed something that never grows old — an ice-cold can of Bud. 25 Vocalists enhance concerts, woo students iV 26 The Night at the Bitter End found sludents rocking to the sounds of the WilJow.

Omaha Mayor Edward Zorinsky and Tony Brown, dean of Communications at Howard University, both urged students to press administrators and people in authority for more information on all matters of stu- dent and civic interest. While visiting Creighton early in the first semester, Brown said it was time to finish the rhetoric and begin action. The freedom of the black people is up to the black people, he said. One should not be working for the freedom of oneself, but for the people. Brown, who is also the executive producer of NETV ' s Black Journal, a national television program for blacks, said that in order to understand the problem of oppression, there must be a common set of values. He cited and criticized examples of misrepresenta- tion of black culture in such things as IQ tests and the motion picture industry. Brown alleged that the wealthy and politically-powerful white America sup- ports the black getto. If they didn ' t want dope and illiteracy among the blacks, there wouldn ' t be any, he said. Zorinsky, in his first visit to campus as mayor of Omaha, encouraged student imput into the city government. At a meeting sponsored by the Philosophy Society, Zorinsky said that Creighton was synonymous with Omaha. He said the new School of Medicine, when it is completed, will be the number one research center in the entire United States. A people-oriented city government is his dream. I have an open-door policy — a policy of communicat- ing, Zorinsky explained. I will do what is right whether I am a one term mayor or not. The new mayor said that he wanted the people to be kept up to date with occurrence in and around Omaha. A question and answer period followed the speech dealing with areas such as revenue sharing, the river- front development, job opportunities, Omaha ' s drug problem and the reorganization of social service program. ■ 1 Mayor Zorinsky in his first visit to Creighton as mayor of Omaha, urged students to keep open with city government. Tony Brown, who aJso visited the Hilltop, warned students to demand their rights as people, but not individuaiiy. Both guests conducted an informal question and answer period after their brief taJks to allow input into the discussions. 31 I Convocation, tennis bout vie for student attention While faculty and administrators attended the Pres- ident ' s Convocation, student women ' s lib supporters marched around the quad in triumph after the Billie Jean King tennis victory over Bobby Riggs. Convocation set the stage for distribution of the 25- year service awards and the distinguished faculty service award. Dorothy E. Vossen, R.N., M.A., associate professor of the College of Nursing, was the recipient of the faculty award. She led pioneering efforts to advance training for the nursing profession to the level of higher educa- tion. During her 18 years at Creighton, she also estab- lished the generic baccalaureate program. The 25-year service placques were presented to John J. Butkus, D.D.S., Dentistry; James A. Doyle, LL.M., Law; Robert F. Fitzgibbon, M.D., Medicine; Ann L. Czerwinski, PhD., Pharmacy and George J. Flecky, Buildings and Groimds. Meanwhile, the nationally televised tennis bout was separating the gals from the guys on campus. Billie Jean supporters triumphantly lined the stairs outside Deglman Hall taunting the defeated male chauvinists. Many Riggs backers weren ' t down yet and answered the girls with challenges for a rematch on campus. Dorothy Vossen, associate professor of the College of Nursing, graciously accepts the 1973 acu (y award from Father Labaj as other faculty and administrators applaud. Twenty-five year service awards were also given out at Convocation. 32 T While Father Labaj ceremoniously hands out awards, Terry Casmeric, Jeanie Tremhley, Roseanne Inglet and Gina Markey taunt Swanson guys in the quad. 33 Old Creamery Theater relives ancient drama In the ancient theater, an actor was not looked upon as a Hollywood prima dona as they are today. He did not have his own tailor, designer, lighting technician, make-up person, playwright and director. Instead, he did everything himself. He designed the sets, built the scenery, applied his own make-up and wrote his own script. A group that goes back to that ancient tradition visited Creighton in the early fall. The Old Creamery Theater, a professional group of 12 actors from Garri- son, Iowa, brought their theatrical skills to campus to show how much could be done on the stage with inex- pensive props and scenery. Comedy Tonight was the play performed by the group who derives its name from the building that is its headquarters. Drawn from the works of various artists, the play presented an educated glance at drama over the cen- turies. The actors illustrated how the world has changed over the years for the better, in some ways, and for the worse in other ways. During their stay at Creighton, the actors held two informal work shops for students interested in the arts. The work shops were concentrated on helping students improve their acting skills. Students would perform for the actors and then watch as one of the group would illustrate ways to improve their acting techniques. Besides performances at universities, the profes- sional group operates a showboat during the summer months at Clinton, Iowa. Sponsored by the University Committee on Lectures, Concerts and Films and by the Department of Speech and Drama, the professional actors were well-received by the students. Actors and actresses from the 12-person troupe of the Old Cream- ery Theater relived scenes from ancient dramas during their brief visit to campus through the piay, Comedy Tonight. 35 Who would expecl a campus to get so ciuttered after only two months of school? But it did. Patty Edney, above, picks up bits and pieces of trash while below Kalhy Ryan and Mary Weisler lug their full sack. 36 How do you clean up a campus? Take a bunch of eager workers, give them a trash sack and a broom and turn (hem ioose on the grounds. Maybe it will stay clean for awhiie. Sophomore Dove Farris and companion, below, comb (he gross to pick up the tiny pieces of trash while sophomore Mike (Jlch, at bottom, leaves clean-up headquarters armed with a sack and a broom to meet the foe. c r : .- - students grab weapons to fight campus litterbug Brooms, rakes and trash sacks were put to good use at Creighton in early October during a three-hour-long all-university campus clean-up, sponsored by Phi Kappa Psi and the sisters of Delta Zeta. Students searched every nook and cranny, every alley and walkway, every place possible where litter might be thrown by unthinking — or maybe even apathetic — students. The Greek organizations were given a Community Service Award by the Student Board of Governors for spending a Sunday afternoon picking up debris on Creighton ' s campus. All students were asked to join in the clean-up pro- gram. The necessary equipment was provided by the sponsors. The bags full or garbage, which were collected and carried away by the crew, seemed to give students an awareness of the poor conditions on campus and helped limit the widespread littering at least for awhile. Soon, however, the campus litter bugs were back in form dropping beer cans, empty cigarette packs and candy wrappers discreetly throughout the university. But it was nice while it lasted. 37 Personal health information is the first from the patient. Nursing voiunleer (ask a Red Cross voiunleer must gel Joan Williams, below, readies the donor. Blood Drive nets over 874 pints for Red Cross Sponsored by the Arts Senate, the annual Blood Drive resulted in the donation of 874 pints of blood this year. It was 174 pints over last year and 124 pints more than were projected. Giving a pint of blood in the drive when the Red Cross Bloodmobile visited the Brandeis Student Center in October entitled the donor to vote for one Cutie and one Ugly candidate in the blood drive-election. Events chairman Tom Skrinar said the votes, repre- senting pints of donated blood, were counted by the Rev. John Schwantes, S.J., and the Rev. Jack Walsh, S.J., of Campus Ministry. Security measures were taken to prevent any dispute over the outcome. As a promotion stunt for Ugly candidate Frank SassateIJi, Deita Chi members marched up California Street in a parade featuring the Roberts ' Dairy cow. The fraternity passed out free samples of milk as they marched. I 38 Ugly candidate Tom Grennan lakes a few momenfs out of his busy campaign schedu e to relax. An affectionate smooch from his bunny friend brings a smile. 39 Arts soph John Lawless, perched on the shoulders of Art junior Al Potts, gets a closer look at the Cutie can- didates as, far right, Jerry Legs Evans introduces the girls to the Frolics crowd. Fun was the name of the game at the annual Fall Frolics dance. Held in the Hilton Hotel ballroom, Frolics was just the place to wear your newest dress or show off your latest dance step. Girls bedecked in fancy maxis or just as fancy minis charmed their dates to the tune of the Rumbles. But the moment that everyone was waiting for was the announcement of Miss Cutie and Mr. Ugly. 1973. 40 DZ crowned Miss Cutie, SAE captures Ugly title The annual Fall Frolics dance saw Delta Zeta cap- ture the Miss Cutie title for the second year in a row. Michelle Jones represented the sorority, and Tom Grennan of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was elected Mr. Ugly when the results of the blood drive-election were announced at the dance. Other candidates in the race were cuties Connie Colwell, Kathy Reinsch, Annie Lee Bonner, Jeanne Farrell, Concetta Boscardin, Marcy Judge and Mari Messer. Other Creighton uglies were Rick Gutierrez, Vince Grosso, Frank Sassatelli, Tom Rosacker and Tom Wieseler. Dancing to the music of the Rumbles, Frolics was held at the Hilton Hotel Grand Ballroom. 41 Two dancers, to the right, pause on (he dance floor between the Rumbles ' songs for a chat; farther to the right, Bill Bresnahan and dale have an inlimate conversation at their table.

Four Creighton students, to the far left, make (heir own party at a back table displaying surprise when discovered by the photographers; another couple, to the left, rock out in fifties style at the dance. 43 ' r Circus invades gym, leaves crowd laughing With a barrage of tricks, pantomimes, juggling and jokes, the Lichenstein Circus rolled into Creigh- ton ' s gymngisium for a rollicking performance. The world ' s smallest circus consists of a three-man troupe performed in a one ring area. The Rev. Nick Weber, S.J., is the ringleader while Steve Saiz and John Salazar comprise the remainder of the group ' s talent. About 75 persons gathered for the performance which was moved to the gym because of the forecasted rainy weather. Whaf ' s more fun than going to a circus, especially when you can sit on dad ' s knee and have a ringside seat besides. The Lichtenstein Circus provided the talent and the laughter. All the audience had to do was set back and enjoy it. AL LICHTE CUASA gives glimpses of past Blacl Heritage Black soul music emanated from the Eppley lecture Hall early in the fall semester as the CUASA Choir and actress Bertha Davis offered students a glimpse at music stemming from their black culture. Miss Davis performed a series of dramatic readings from the works of such noted authors as Langdon Hughes, Phyllis Wheatley and James Waldo Johnson. Also, Edward Parks recited the Black Manifesto by Rocky Turner. The choir, which received its first taste of stardom on campus last year, performed several numbers with emphasis on gospel and spiritual music. Choir mem- bers also supported Miss Davis with background music during her reading of The Creation. The concert, which was sponsored by three organ- izations — the University committee on Lectures, Films and Concerts, the Student Board of Governors and Black Aesthetics — attracted a large crowd of students. 1 ■ H 1 MdS H £ L_i.

Agnew ' s resignation. Brinkley says ' Federal power threatens U.S. ' David Brinkley, NBC news commentator, cited excessive power in the federal government as the present threat to America. He made this statement during an Oct. 18 speech to about 700 persons in Upper Brandeis. During his talk, David Brinkley ' s Washington Report, he said many politicians and bureaucrats in both political parties, who used to call themselves public servants, now seem to think the public is theirs. This arrogant, egotistical use of power, he said, has abused the trust and confidence of the American people in a truly outrageous way. He said the government had too much money which it continually spends to buy more power. This power is used in many ways every day to push the American people around — not to ask what we want or need, but to tell us what we ' re going to get, what we ' ll have to pay for it and how we ' ll go to jail if we don ' t pay. Discussing the motives for those involved in the Watergate break-in, Brinkley said that the usual aims for money and sex weren ' t of major importance. The real motive was acquisition and preservation of power. A person running for high political offic e is seeking power . . . power over his fellow man . . . power to order other people around, he said. A person who does not have an extremely strong ego can hardly go into big- time national politics in the first place. And the same ego driving him to run for high political office will affect his performance after he wins. Brinkley ' s talk, sponsored by the Student Board of Governors, also touched on former Vice President Spiro Agnew ' s resignation, the Arab-Israeli war and recent Supreme Court decisions that newsmen should reveal their news sources. Commenting on that, he termed the court ' s demands as totally, completely and flatly unconstitutional. Where the constitution specifies ' free press, ' it is very clear, and there is no ambiguity about it, he said. Brinkley assured those who fear that the press might become too powerful, by saying that there are numerous countries where politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. There is no country, he said, where the press has seized power and muzzled the politicians. He added the public never expects this overthrow of the politicians to happen. Yet in a recent public poll, Brinkley concluded, politicians were described as incompetent and serving only themselves, but still having great power. 49 An undecided Fran (Mary ane Betterman] wonders if she has made Ihe right deci- sion. The play was a satirical comedy denouncing the moraJs of the American business world. Based on a Neil Simon film, the play was well accepted as the cast performed before a full-bouse every T ight. ' Promises ' promised early success with full house Promises, Promises, I ' m all through with Prom- ises was the phrase heard loud and long on campus in the fall when the Creighton Theater group performed Burt Bacharach ' s musical to sell-out crowds at all of the seven performances in the Eppley Little Theater. In the satirical comedy on the morals of American business, the leading characters, Fran (Arts sophomore Mary Jane Betterman) and Chuck Baxter (Arts fresh- man Brian Sullivan) denounced the evils of their ways and promised not to follow the business world antics in their own lives, but instead to search for the real promises that lead to joy and hope and love. The musical is based on the 1960 Neil Simon film, The Apartment, starring Shirley Maclain, Jack Lemmon, and Fred MacMurray. It was also Bacha- rach ' s first Broadway musical success. Others featured in the 25-member cast were Tom Amundsen as Doctor Drey fuss; Mary Pizinger as Marge; Joyce Eisenmenger as Miss Olson; and Allan J. Nicholas as Karl. Don Gibbs, Chris Connell, Jerry Wilson and Mike Cook played business executives. Tryouts for the play were open to all CU students in mid-August. After director Dr. Harry Langdon made his choices, the long two months of practice ensued. Dr. Jerry Horning, assistant professor of Fine Arts, choreographed the production. Jack Bourdess directed the full-stage orchestra for the performances. Musicians were recruited from Creighton, Southwest Iowa and Eastern Nebraska.

Dr. Harry Langdon directed the musical. 51 Sweet strains from melodic violins filtered out from the Gold Room in Upper Brandeis when Sol Hurok presented the Slovak Orchestra. For those who attended, the pleasure of relaxing to the works of concert violin- ists took the strain out of any trying day. Although the crowd was small, their appreciation was great. 52 Slovak Orchestra lulls crowd with sweet sounds The group of twelve musicians, founded by conductor Bohdan Warchan in 1960, took their start as an offshoot of the Slovak Philharmonic. The concert was sponsored by the committee on lectures, films and concerts. 53 Halloween goblins haunt dorms, delight children Ghosts, goblins and assorted creatures were present at all of the many campus parties held on Halloween. One party, held in St. John ' s Church basement, hosted children from St. James Care Center in Omaha. Bobbing for apples, guessing the goblins and old-fash- ioned trick-or -treating were some of the events that took place. Students from third floor Deglman and second floor Swanson sponsored the party. Weird-looking masks donned the faces of several coeds in their quest for Halloween goodies. Running through halls, knocking on doors and shouting Trick Or Treat! might not have been too good for the studies, but it was fun. Halloween also meant the end of one month and the beginning of the next, which meant only six weeks till semester break and finals and term paper deadlines and home. , ¥ •-.■ 1 I- : App e-bobb ng, balloon-popping and horn- blowing look over as students put aside text- books and exam worries.

Business sophomore Joe Lammereaux was caught off guard by the early snowfall. GloveJess, he uses a rag instead of a scraper to wipe the white substance off his covered car windows. Snow brought cheers, fights, then icy worries Hey, everybody, it ' s snowing! . . . let ' s make a snow- man ... all right, Joe, one more snowball down my back and I ' ll plaster you. Nothing causes as much commotion on Creighton ' s campus as the first snowfall of winter. Students from sunny California to frosty Maine all join in the rollick- ing fiin of an old-fashioned snowball fight. Frozen toes and runny noses are soon forgotten when the white stuff starts to fall. Many students were caught off guard by the early November flurries as most still had their snow tires packed nicely in their trunks. Creeping up the icy Cali- fornia Street without them was a major victory. Many snowbound students spent a long afternoon worrying how they were going to get to work, school or home. But after the worries were forgotten, there was still plenty of time to meet friends in the quad and help pelt an unsuspecting coed with the soft snow. Then, just as quickly as it came, the wet snow dis- appeared. But more was on its way to delight the stu- dents and drag them away from the worries of semester exams just around the corner. iAA 56 There ' s nothing better than a snowball down your neck to start the winter off right. Michelle Bonner, right, pauses for a moment to decide if her eleven o ' clock class is really worth walking cJear across campus in the snow. Foot prints tell the story at left. Although the first blizzard of the year was in full swing, it didn ' t stop students from going to classes via the student center. The East Quad, above, was a favor- ite spot for impromptu snowball fights. 57 A member o Ihe faculty takes aim at the targets at the other end of the gym. Each participant took his turn and 58 Even at a turkey shoot the agonies of registration is inevitable. Faculty members signed up and were given a handfuJ of shells to try their luck at the targets and win a Thanksgiving turkey or a cornish hen. Gunman ' s deadly aim nets Thanksgiving dinner Shots ricochet throughout the empty building. One by one the deadly gunmen take aim at the silent object at the other end of the floor. This is not a student riot or a vice squad attack. Instead it ' s a little known annual event in Creighton ' s gym. The deadly gunmen are the men who students see in front of a blackboard on weekdays. They are shooting at immobile targets in the faculty-staff turkey shoot. Sponsored by the military department, the turkey shoot is held to give the faculty a chance to improve their weapons skills and also catch the Thanksgiving dinner for their family. Robert Todd from the College of Business Admin- istration was top scorer in the individual competition. Other winners were Dr. Robert Kennedy from the physics department, the Fine Arts ' Father Don Dall and Iva Carrothers. Winners received turkeys while the Rev.

All that was left was the long trudge home. Although there were only ten regular class days left of the semester, it seemed like ages between week- ends. The clock ticked through 8 o ' clock classes in slow motion and didn ' t speed up until students closed their books and turned in for the night. Suddenly it was morn- ing and nine days to go till finals. Yet there was so much to be done. So much to cram into two short weeks — text books to be skimmed over at the last minute. It was the end of the semester. Book reports, term papers and in depth research that had been assigned in early September were now due. Where had the time gone? And then classes were over. Time for last minute cramming was up. Time for worrying was over. Tests were taken and students were ready for the long trudge home.

Independent Creighton University Productions (Cupid) presented A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Though the group is in its second year, it only achieved recognition as a university organization one month earlier. And having received just $350 financial support from the Student Board of Governors, the group handled all areas of Forum itself, including finances, directing and costumes. It was, however, helped by the Technical High School shop department which constructed the stage and the school ' s print department which prepared the programs. in Forum was presented by all students interested hard work. Membership in Cupid was not required.

A college degree doesn ' t mean as much as it used to. Now anyone can get a degree. It ' s not worth as much as it used to be. But, I did come to college to get that degree. Everything is more special- ized now in college. My career as a researcher in physics de- pends on a college degree. It is the only means, the only chance I would have for my career. i -i-: . Mary Jo Hill . . . . . . Through my college edu- cation, I have really grown. I have learned more than rote memory. All of my nursing courses have dealt with people. They have contributed to my life, even if I don ' t ever actively nurse. College has been worth it just because I have met so many people. I really enjoy school and overall, it has helped my personal life. College has helped me see my life more objectively. You leave high school with set ideas. But college shows you that many things aren ' t quite like you think they are. I have less prejudices now than I did. Mary Sachs . . . . . . As a transfer student, I found that Creighton ' s require- ments for graduation are less stringent than the other school I was at. It required four semes- ters of a foreign language which has nothing to do with my major. Here, even though there are divisional requirements, they cover a wide range of subjects. A student can take courses that will be helpful towards a de- gree. After 4 years, is a college degree really worth it? If After four years of struggling with reading assign- ments, term papers and exams, the ultimate goal of a college education — a good job — is sometimes still far from a graduate ' s fingertips. Statistics show that more than a few college graduates end up selling used cars, waiting tables or working construction becouse jobs in their field just aren ' t available. If there is no guarantee of a job after graduation, are those four years of studying worth it? Although the students were concerned about nui finding a job after graduation, many companies, including the Marines, right, came to campus to recruit interested students. 64 _ Donna Bass . . . . . . College is definitely worth it although I might not think so at this time. It is the only way to further my career in speech pathology. If I could change anything in the curriculum, I would drop the divisional requirements. Right now I am just taking courses I want, but I will even- tually have to pick up the requirements. A person should be here to learn and shouldn ' t have to take things she doesn ' t want to take. Instead of saying a person has to take 36 hours in the four divisions, it would be better if a person could fill the hours with courses that are beneficial to his or her career or interest- ing to the student. Ann Barrett . . . . . . College gives you an expo- sure to different experiences. It broadens you academically and socially. As a dorm student, I have met people from all areas with different attitudes. They have given me insights into many aspects. The curriculum is good at Creighton but I would change two- hour courses. There is so much extra work that you don ' t get hours credit for. If you ' re going to do the work, then appropriate credit should be given. This might be a selfish attitude. Maybe you really need the experience of this work, but I think there should be some way to get the credit for the amount of work you do. Kathy Daley . . . . . . For my own self-image going to college is worth it. Money-wise, I had thought of a two-year nursing program so that by now, I would have been out earning money. But everyone told me that all this work would be worth it in the four-year program. So, we ' ll see in the future if they were right. Now, I ' m really not sure. I came to Creighton to be a nurse. I knew what I wanted and this goal has made me stay in school. Also, people I have met here have become an important part of my life. Nursing takes so much of my time, though that I have fallen out of contact with my friends because I always have so much to do. I think that I would change some of the nursing curriculum — not the courses themselves, but the amount of time given to each one. Right now, the volume of material that is covered in only a few weeks is just too much. You just can ' t take it all in. If they were more evenly spaced out, and each segment of the courses had close to the same amount of time spent on the material, it would be a lot easier on the students. 65 Veronica Kenn ' , Placement office secretary, has the awesome task of scheduling appointments for the busy Earl Winters, the director.

Spend hours walking from company to com- pany, filling out one application form after another? Students found an easier way to obtain employ- ment. The Placement Office, located on the second floor of the Brandeis Student Center, was brimming over with part-time job opportunities. The bulletin board in front of the office overflowed with pink slips depicting job possibilities. Another feature of Earl Winter ' s Placement office was the senior interviews. Seniors were given the opportunity to meet with representatives from major companies in the Omaha area to discuss possible positions after graduation. Winters, in his first year as director of the Placement Office, said it was an excellent chance for students to meet with members in the business field. Even if a job did not materialize from the interviews, the expo- sure to the business would help the students in future job applications. Although not a frequently-visited office, students were given the opportunity for help in their fiiture careers if they wanted to take the time to seek it. 67 Anxious frosh change to college dropout In 1970 when 597 anxious Arts freshmen first entered the walks of Creighton, they envisioned a graduation in 1974 — cap, gown and degree included. But some time between four years ago and now, 361 of those budding frosh either transferred to other colleges or simply quit. The Bus Ad and Nursing schools show the same ratio. What happened? Although the Rev. John Cuddigan, S.J., did exten- sive personal research in the causes of the dropout rate, no definite conclusions could be drawn. Instead of seeking answers to why these students quit, the administration leveled its efforts towards how to keep the current undergraduates in school, and more precisely, at Creighton. Dr. Richard Passon, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Rev. Donald MacLean, vice president for academic affairs, devised a personal advisory system to introduce freshmen to other academic fields rather than just the pre-professional ones. Passon plans to show students that other important careers are possible to follow at CU, if they aren ' t accepted by the health science schools. Just about 50 per cent of the frosh plan to enter a health professional school, Passon said. Now they are not all going to medical school. He noted that this disillusionment after discovering that they won ' t be accepted is enough to cause the split with school. The military draft also contributed to the high enrollment rate of previous years, according to Father MacLean. Now, since the draft has been abolished, if the desire for an education is gone, there is no road block forcing the student to remain in school, he said. But for those students who do stay, the quality of education might be lacking. Father MacLean said the academics haven ' t been affected yet, but if students continue to drop out before senior year, the number of advanced classes will decline. With not enough students registered for the class, it would be cancelled. Father MacLean said. Then the process of eliminating the teachers would begin, which would cause a definite loss. The loss of the students is just translated into the budget, then into the richness of the program that can be offered. Under the new program for-ireshman planning, the administration is hoping to keep the freshmen excited about their college careers through their graduation in 1978. 68 i The first two years of college are always the roughest.

With only a five-day supply of fuel left for the remaining 13 days of January, the school ' s shutdown depended on the weather man. Luckily for most, the sun shone brightly for a two- week span before hibernating once more to give stu- dents and Omahans a blast of the cold winter still ahead. The Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, S.J., president of the uni- versity, was adamant in his insistence that the sec- ond semester would start on schedule despite rumors and recommendations to wait till February 1. Our prime purpose is education, he stated. It would cause too many student hardships to start late. An all-university committee to study Creigh ton ' s fuel shortage was established in November. Headed by news bureau editor Mary Lynn Coyle, the student- faculty group strove to generate student action on campus to conserve fuel. Meetings with the Omaha Public Power and Metro- politan Utilities Districts were scheduled to better acquaint the committee members with the fuel opera- tions at Creighton. The imiversity ran on oil from December 29 to mid January before switching back to gas. Coyle explained that Creighton was only allowed 85 per cent of the requested fuel which would cause a heating crisis if the weather continued cold. Classrooms (in use) and dorms would be the last to close had the icy winter temperatures continued long enough to cause real panic. Coyle said that the govern- ment requires that residence halls, which use 50 per cent of the alloted campus fuel, be supplied with enough fuel, if it is available. Initiated by Arts junior Jim Quinley, who has been involved in energy conservation since high school, the committee sent many recommendations to the administration for approval along with warnings to the students for adherance to the plan of action. Recommendations to Father Labaj included: — Set thermostats at 68 de- grees during the day and 65 degrees at night. — Close the swimming pool and upper gym during semester break. — Keep only half the hall lights on at night. — Prohibit Christmas decora- tions. Student aids included using hot water at a mmi- mum, reporting all leaky faucets and closing hallway doors. Rumors that the swimming pool would be closed indefinitely were forgotten when the pool was opened the second week of school. With the freezing tempera- tures outside, few students worried about the facility. Although there were seemingly no con artists on campus, Creighton pulled through its bout with chancy weather using warmer temperatures as the trump card. 71 Winterfest sets tradition of semester jamboree A break with tradition, a skating party, movies, basketball games and a dance highlighted the fun- filled Winterfest Week. The Homecoming queen legacy died with the name of the dance this year when it was rechristened Winter- fest. Due to a mix-up on the university calendair, the date for the dance was changed from December to late January. Since Homecoming was officially set for December, students had to choose another name for their celebration. I ' he Homecoming queen election was dropped by the Arts Senate, who sponsored the week, when it became evident that a ma n might run for the title and win. But after the worries were past, the fun was just beginning. A skating party at Benson Park was one bright spot of the week despite a broken-arm mishap on the ice. Dinner drive-in style was offered at both dorm cafeterias. Three TGIT (Thank God It ' s Tuesday) celebrations were held at favorite Creighton night spots, the Marylebone, Starlite and 4 Seasons lounges. The Downing Brothers serenaded students with their folk music in lower Becker, while movies were shown to film buffs in the middle of the week. The Bluejays once again sparkled in both home games during Winterfest Week, beating Bradley on Tuesday and the Salukis from Southern Illinois in a Saturday afternoon game to prepare students for the dance that evening. Held in the Hilton Hotel Ballroom, Winterfest cou- ples danced to the music of Travis from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Although the tradition of a homecoming had been forgotten, the precedent of an early semester jamboree of activity had been established for future years. 72 J 73 74 Smiles, laughter, people make Winterfest a success i 75 Canadian consul senses ' elephant ' fuel crisis Living next door to the United States is like sleep- ing with an elephant. Everytime the beast moves, whether with friendly intentions, it can be dangerous. The Honorable John Timmerman, Canadian consul in Chicago, explained his country ' s relationship with the U.S. to newsmen at a press conference during a visit to campus. He said Canada was forced to cutback the amount of oil it was selling t o America for fear that her supply would be depleted. Natural gas is an exhaustable commodity, Tim- merman said. And we decided that if we continued to export gas at the rate we were, there was some danger of running out. We haven ' t found a way to replace oil yet, he said. As a guest of Dr. Ross Horning, professor of history, Timmerman explained the delicate oil situation in Canada to area reporters. The Canadian potential oil reserves in the Artio Islands remain untapped, he said. There has been no pipeline laid to transfer the gas south to the main part of Canada. Timmerman said the U.S. received all Canadian oil exports. But his country was forced to reduce the amount from 1.25 million barrels per day to 1 million. U.S. businesses control 80 per cent of the chemical industries in Canada, but the Canadian government sets the export price and sales tax. Turning to other issues, Timmerman conceded that in recent years his country has felt that the U.S. was taking her for granted. She began her emergence as a friendly neighbor, but keeping her separate identity. Timmerman termed the U.S. political issues con- cerning the draft as private domestic issues. Canada and the United States are neighbors and friends, he stated. We care about each other. We won ' t interfere with each other ' s personal affairs. 76 Consul general Timmerwan explains the Canadian fui shortage to Dr. Ross Homing ' s history class. He said there were vast amounts of untapped oil in his country, but no means to get at it. Dr. Richard Passon, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, below, chats with the visitor between courses at a special luncheon in honor of Mr. Timmerman. 77 Black identity stressed in activity-loaded week Stressing black identity was carved into the purpose of Creigh ton ' s fourth annual Black Week in mid- February. Lectures, movies, a dance and a CUASA Choir mini-concert, were a few events on the activity- filled calendar for the week. Comedian-actor Godfrey Cambridge highlighted the week with a moving lecture against drug abuse. He said the U.S. society had become addicted to pills and pleaded with students to open their eyes to the drug problem. He outlined a method to stop the drug traffic from Europe and Asia. I want to destroy the food in Turkey, France, Southeast Asia, whether it be Thailand, Laos or Burma. If their dope is so good, let them eat it. said the actor who had almost completed his year ' s leave of absence from his Hollywood career to fight the drug problem in America. During the week, which was termed ' too short ' by some students, blacks were given a chance to reassess their values and scrutinize their goals. Sponsored by Creighton University Afrc-American Student Association, the week ended in success with a mini-concert of black spirituals by the CUASA Choir. rli « %;■ IBii 1 , ip- :a Msii • m idHI. . -gg 78 V. 7 J- After the Mass for unity set (he mood, Ihings began happening in lower Brandeit .

Dubbed a ' celebration, ' the affair, which drew over 500 persons, began with a Mass in St. John ' s Church and ended with a party in lower Brandeis. Sponsored by Creighton ' s faculty and Campus Min- istry, it was the first real effort for faculty and students to mingle socially outside of the classroom. The Mass started the evening on the tone of peace and contentment. The Rev. Dick Hauser, S.J., who coor- dinated the get-together, was also the celebrant while Dr. Michael Davies, associate professor of chemistry, served as the homilist. Beer and pretzels highlighted the get-together after the Mass. Students and faculty forgot the classroom routines and enjo yed themselves on a person-to- person basis. A balloon-blowing contest, dance and good-natured fun was the main entertainment at the blast. According to Father Hauser, the faculty group that organized the event was in its second year of existence. The purpose of the group was to better relations be- tween faculty and students on a social, as well as academic, level. Father Hauser said this party was used as a feeler to see if faculty-student affairs would be accepted on campus. He said this might be the start of a new social function on campus. 81 The Student Board of Governors invited magician John Bowery to entertain students during lunch. Patti Hill, far right, stops to reflect in the middle of the noisy confusion in the background. The Student Center is a place where undergrads and pro essionai students from every field join together and belong. The Snack bar in lower Brandeis was a bustle of activity each day at noon when busy students stopped to feed their hungry stomachs. 82 I • ? .. ' 2 ' 4 student Center attracts groups, frats, individuals After the first day at Creighton, the timid student might have felt lost by trying to remember buildings and room numbers. He might have given up looking for the food service office or the student personnel office. But there was one place that all students — timid or outgoing — felt at home. The Student Center — a place where fraternities reserved tables for their group; where townies went to get in on the campus activity; where dormies went to get away from the routine of dorm life; where friends went to meet friend; where term papers and exams were set aside and card games became the most important aspect of college. The Student Center — a place to be yourself among your friends. Students wandered in and out of the center between classes to grab a quick coke and see who was there already. Noontime was the busiest time of the day for the ladies at the snack bar, who hurriedly dished up the chili dogs or other specialities of the house. When the center became over-crowded with card sharks and juke box advocates, students filtered into the fish bowl were a quieter atmosphere prevailed. The game room was another well-travelled spot in the Student Center. Pin ball machines, pool tables and foos ball were available to the more athletic student. Something new was added to the noontime atmos- phere when the Student Board of Governors initiated a program designed to arouse interest in campus activities. The SBG ' s showed movies and sponsored guests — including a magician, members of the Omaha Opera company, and a rock group. For those students who were interested in a quieter place to enjoy lunch, Becker Hall across campus was just the spot. Nestled in between Kiewit and Gallagher, Becker attracted many professional students and undergrads, who had some cramming to do before their one o ' clock class. 83 VITA, the pro-life group on campus, marched downtown in protest of the abortion legislation passed by Congress. Arm bands, pickets and flyers were evidenced as the students and area residents slowly made their way to the destination, Douglas Countv Courthouse. Abortion, Gay Rap group enfuse life in campus The right to life and the right to live as individuals were major questions thrown at Creighton students in 1974. Does a person have the right to take the life of an unborn child? Does a person have the right to place personal, moral sanctions on all of society? Although the questions remained unanswered, stu- dents were given a chance to see both sides and to voice their opinions on the issues. VITA, the anti-abortion group on campus, held rallies and marches in behalf of the unborn child. Members attempted to explain the humanness of an infant before birth but also tried to seek help for those unwed mothers who were contemplating abortion. VITA sought other solutions to the problem of an unwanted pregnancy. A rally was held on campus on the anniversary of Congress ' legislation that barred anti-abortion laws. A Mass, benediction and rosary were said for the unborn children and their mothers. The group also marched on the Douglas County Courthouse before ending their journey downtown. A Festival for Life was held later in the Spring. The group explained what life meant to them and how the preservation of that life could bring innovations into society. According to Brian Hart, VITA chairman, people can learn from children and the elderly, who might be affected by anti-elderly laws in the future, he said. Without the two groups in the world, life would be a monotonous evolution of middle-aged ideas. VITA ' s purpose is to offer education and promote positive alternatives, Hart said in a letter to the Creightonian. Such important decisions involving others ' lives should not be based on impulses brought about by emotional strain. Society ' s emotional strain was the main clot in lifeblood of the second group. The Gay Rap group, established to give homosexuals someone to turn to, met with harsh criticism from the university admin- istrators. The Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, S.J., president of the uni- versity, refused official recognition of the group on the basis that homosexuality is an aberration. It is not normal and should be handled in a proper and professional way, he said. The purpose of the group was to offer an open place for discussion where persons could express their fears and desires without being subjected to ridicule. The desire to be recognized as human beings instead of scientific abnormalities was strong in the group, who tried to acquaint interested students with problems confronted by homosexuals. Philosophical, scientific and religious letters to the editors gutted the editorial pages of the Creighton- ian explaining opposing sided to the controversy. Many pro and con philosophers became stumped with word usage and forgot the group ' s goal — to help homosexuals. Appealing to public emotions, VITA members carried small children in (he protest. Dr. Ralph Cramper, and daughter, Cindy, were among the group that attempted to bring an awareness of the problem to local residents. 85 Black Culture Center offered variety of activities The Black Culture Center, located across the street East of Kiewit Hall, provides a focal point for a variety of campus and community oriented black activities, mostly administered by CUASA (Creighton University Afro- American Student Association). One community service provided in the culture house, according to CUASA president James Riddick, was tutoring underprivileged kids. The program was set up to help students prepare for college and to qual- ify for scholarships. In the Fall, Riddick said, a Hal- loween festival was held in the house for under- privileged children. Campus-oriented activities included self-awareness sessions, conducted by Mrs. Arlene Rhodes, special assistant to Associate Vice President for Student Per- sonnel Samuel Crawford. A tutorial committee con- sisted of upperclassmen who help incoming fresh- men. The Cultural Center was also used for CUASA committee meetings, CUASA Choir rehearsals, rap sessions by visiting lecturers and as a place for studying, socializing and relaxing by students, accord- ing to Riddick. It was also the headquarters for the student-run community newspaper. Black Realities. The house was utilized in the summer months by the Upward Bound program for high school students. An improvement made at the house this year was the establishment of a black library and study lounge, Riddick said. Books and periodicals were obtained through funds raised by CUASA and through donations.

With the above situation and an enlarged freshman class, some students got permission who might ordi- narily have been refused, he said. One hundred and fifteen students were released, an increase of 22 over last year. Most students cited lower cost and more freedom and privacy in explaining their decision to live off campus. It ' s so nice to come home from school instead of spe nding 24 hours a day there, said Dental frosh Dick Hurd, who was a dorm student until this year. A proposal to automatically exempt seniors from the residency requirement was studied this year, but as of Spring, no action had been taken. Doyle observed, however, most of the people who want off campus, make it by senior year. I think most of the seniors in the dorm are there because they want to be. ' DOUGLAS C(M .

They also were given smiies from student visitors. 90 ■ students grow through care of elderly people College students rarely get a chance to temper their dreams with the wisdom of elderly people. But many took advantage of this opportunity at the 708 Senior Center. Started in the fall by some Creighton students, the Senior Center grew out of their desire to help senior citizens. They found a storefront, with the help of the Creighton Oblate Community, at 708 S. 24th St. One of the originators of the idea, Arts sophomore Diane Schuette, said many of the students felt closer to the people at the center than to their own grand- parents. Everybody kind of adopted a grandparent, she said. The students and Oblates gave of their time four days a week to visit with the seniors and on Saturdays they served soup and sandwiches. Food and rent came from donations from various campus groups and indi- viduals. According to Brother Pat Miner, OMI, Good will alone doesn ' t pay the rent. The young people weren ' t the only ones who looked forward to the Saturday gatherings. One 88-year-old Senior Center regular said, It does my heart good to see the young folks and the old having a good time together. 91 As part of the Admissions program, the Rev. Joseph . Labaj, S.J., president, spoke to Mercy High School students during their tour. Mary Higgins and Howard Bachman, below, check out a student ' s application. Bachman said they only wanted students who wouid be happy at Creighton. Admissions team urges, Try CU on for size ' We ' d rather miss a sale than miss a fit. The motto of many shoe salesmen, this statement also applies to the Admissions Office. We ' d rather lose a prospective student to a school where he ' ll be happier, said director Howard Bach- man, than have him come to Creighton and be miser- able. They ' d leave eventually anyway because they ' d transfer. Besides, one unhappy student give us more bad publicity than ten satisfied ones give us good public- ity. Because its main goal is a satisfied student, the Admissions Office avoids the hard sell. Instead its coimselors talk to prospective freshmen about future plans and how Creighton can and can ' t help them. We don ' t feel like sales people, said counselor Mary Higgins. We try to be as honest as possible and not hide an) hing. If I think we ' re weak in the area a student wants to study, I ' ll say so. Higgins, 1973 graduate and Student Board secre- tary, is one of six admissions counselors. She, Dave Pearl, 1973 graduate, and Tim Lannon, 1973 graduate and Student Board president, are new this year. Lannon, the only regional representative, is stationed in Chicago and handles Illinois and the surrounding states. Counseling jobs include talking with high school counselors and students, attending college nights and alumni functions and admitting new students to the university. The counselors try to acquaint different parts of the country with the university. Much time is also spent recontacting students. We say Creighton is small, personalized, coun- selor Judy Schweikart said. Students won ' t believe us if we forget them after they send us their deposit. Schweikart said the extra visits and correspondance are used to prepare the students for freshman week and registration and keep them up to date on campus activities. The main purpose, however, is to assure the students they haven ' t been forgotten, she said. The office also has 20 students who host visiting school seniors — entertaining them, conducting tours and answering their questions. They ' re used a lot, Bachman said, because stu- dents believe them more than people who get paid to recruit. Also, students are more willing to ask them questions. The counselors and Bachman travel 15 weeks each year, visiting and revisiting prospective students. Though the office has areas of consentration, the counselors travel all over the United States including Hawaii. The long, constant traveling results in a lonely life and according to Higgins, is a major cause of the high counselor turn over. Bachman said the average one remains two or three years. Though it requires continual training of new ones, he said, it does have good points. We get people who are recent graduates (usually from Creighton) and still in touch with student opinions. Also, they ' re more in tune to what ' s happening on campus. 92 In his first year as a counselor. Dave Pearl, be ow, s(i J feels a part of the s(uden( body.

However, the bills were not figured into the reasons for the tuition increases, administrators said. The Business office space was expanded to allow for the growing office. Crews worked year-round on the new Law school lo meet the 1974 fall opening date. 94 Annual tuition hike adds to other CU disasters After being shackled with the ' 74 disasters — cost of hving increase, energy crisis, food shortage, truckers ' strike — it was only natural for students to receive one more blow — the inevitable tuition hike. Inflation, teacher salary increases and no rise in enrollment were the three factors behind the boost in tuition, according to the Rev. Donald MacLean, vice president of academic affairs. The administration explained that the raise would cover half the cost increase to operate the university. The deficit would be made up with grants, gifts, and endowments. The Student Board of Governors advised students to accept the increase as a fact of life. This stand met with harsh criticism from many students. The Board, however, stated that it would not tolerate an increase in dorm fees unless provisions to better the dormies ' situation were agreed upon. Despite student protest, it was announced the same week that room and board would require a $25-$70 increase next fall to meet the rising cost of heating oil, dorm maintenance and food. After fighting a tuition increase every year since 1963, students should be used to the ordeal. But every year the battle springs up with new attacks only to lose in the end. Gym makes good emergency Red Cross shelter Creighton ' s gym was transformed into an emergency Red Cross shelter when approximately 250 people were evacuated from their homes during a major chemical fire in downtown Omaha in early February. Nursing students and oblates helped Red Cross volunteers care for the homeless by distributing blan- kets to keep warm and passing along comforting smiles. Anita Clark, Red Cross shelter manager commended the student helpers. We couldn ' t have gotten along without the stu- dents, she said. The fire started early in the morning at Lorenz Chemical Co.. and spread poisonous chlorine gas and pesticide fumes throughout the downtown area. After the Oblates in Creighton Hall on 26 and Davenport St. were evacuated from their rooms because of the gas leakage, they hurried to the gym to help the Red Cross with the other downtown residents. Sixteen oblates assisted in unloading food and and supplies to care for the evacuees, mostly elderly persons. Senior nursing students were also called in to help the Red Cross. Despite worry, fatigue and the cold morning air, many of the homeless found themselves enjoying the Cots were set up throughout tha gym for thf) Omaha avacueas whose sleep was disturbed by the early morning blaze.

A card game began in one corner and spread to other groups that dotted the spacious gym. Other evacuees, nauseated from the gas inhalation, were given cots and blankets to rest and recuperate. Still others sought comforting conversation to keep their minds from straying back to their homes and possessions. The Rev. Michael P. Sheridan, S.J., dean of students, offered the gym as a shelter base as soon as he learned of the evacuees dilemma. The downtown residents were allowed to return to their homes about noon that same day. 96 Dede Meyer, left, joins a group of evacuees and listens to their tale of the morning ' s ex- citement. Althou only two persons suffered serious injuries, many were effected. 97 Known for their experimental style, Quicksilver Messenger Service placed strong emphasis on the drummer. Drum roJJs were evidenced throughout the two-hour per ormance, along with the weird percussion ensembles that added to the Quick- silver technique. Although the delayed start of the concert left the audience restless and perturbed, the music, when it finally began, was well worth waiting for. Some stu- dents were caught up in the beat of the songs and forgot their earlier disgust. 98 Concert wobbles to shaky start, ends in success In the past few years, Creighton and the Student Board of Governors have had their problems with book- ing groups and getting them to fulfill their contracts. Last year it was the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose who cancelled just before curtain call. This year it was no different. Students and local area youth crowded into the Civic Auditorium Music Hall in early March for the widely-publicized concert featuring R.E.O. Speed- wagon and Quicksilver Messenger Service. However, the top name band, R.E.O. Speedwagon never left their recording studios in California to make their sched- uled performance in Omaha. Problems began two days before the date of the con- cert when Student Board of Governor Fred Walsh received notice that R.E.O. had had difficulty with their recording schedule and would be unable to make the date. A representative of Token productions, who had booked the group, said R.E.O. ' s manager had probably tried to book as many performances as possible for the group and then held the contracts until he was sure if the recording sessions could be completed before the dates. When Quicksilver agreed to play longer for the same rate, all problems seemed solved. Not so. Two hours before the scheduled concert, their instruments had not arrived. The group argued that borrowed instru- ments would not attain the proper musical mood. The long wait for the concert began. After a one and one-half hour delay, some irate stu- dents began lighting matches, matchbooks and paper cups in protest. But as soon as the equipment arrived, the crowd was in for a musical treat. Famous for their experimental style. Quicksilver had just finished an internal reorganization with only one former member remaining with the group. All other musicians were new, which added a new style to their musical routine. 99 student molded break to suit individual needs And then it was March. It came fast this year and Spring break came with it. To some students it meant a week ' s vacation at home away from the college rou- tine. To others, it was the perfect opportunity to catch up on reading assignments, term papers and sleep. The campus was by no means dull. Even with the Student Center closed, those who remained found enough to keep them occupied. During the week ' s break a national collegiate sport was brought to campus. The art of streaking spread throughout the nation ' s colleges in record time. At first confined to lone masked marauders who stripped, streaked and disappeared, the sport later erupted into mass streaking on some campuses. Other students, who were more interested in the usual sports routine, stayed to watch the Bluejay ' s last basketball game of the season. A capacity crowd packed the Civic Auditorium to salute the senior squad members and watch them fall to South Carolina. De- spite the loss, students waited eagerly for the NCAA game in Texas at the end of the week. The baseball Jays also started their season with five away games in Texas. With their record at 3-2 at the end of break, baseball buffs anticipated a good Spring. The weather contributed to the activities of the week. With the temperatures in the mid 60 ' s, it was frisbe time. Students dotted the quad to spend a leisurely afternoon in the sun before returning to the books. Typical tourists, Nick Boggv, Rich CimpJ, Tom Maskelewicz, John Sweenev and Larry Leszcynski, pose in front of the AJamo. Below, the travellers discovered that packing the car could take just as much time as the trip itself.

We are designed for the average student, explained Dr. John P. Engler, di- rector of the CounseHng Center in the basement of Bergan Hall. The purpose of the office has been to help students set goals, both academically and vocationally. To fulfill these goals, personal and social counseling has often been involved, he explained. Dr. Engler, who started a year ' s leave of absence at the end of the semester to work on a Douglas County Child Health program, said the staff at the center was a unique potpouri of personalities and interests. Dr. James Boland, who will act as director during Engler ' s absence, directed the group counseling pro- gram. Dr. Thomas Searson was in charge of the occu- pational orientation guides while Dr. Caroline Sed- lacek, who is one of the few women staffed in a counsel- ing center throughout the country, directed the clini- cal counseling. There is a grave misconception about counselors, Engler continued. They don ' t tell people what to do but instead, they help students sort out alternatives. They provide adequate information so that the person, himself, can make a wise choice ba 5 ' -d on facts instead of emotions, said Engler, who has been the director for seven years. All information gathered by the office is confidential and kept off permanent records. In average cases, students hear about the center through a friend or are referred there by a faculty member. The initial visit involves a preliminary interview with one of the coun- selors. Then tests — concerning interests, aptitude, personality, etc. — are administered and graded. Students then go over the results with the counselors to evaluate themselves. The number of students who visit the center has increased annually. Last year 1,000 different students met with counselors as compared to the 300 students who came the first year in 1963. The center also has seen more undergraduates than graduate students and more lower classmen than upperclassmen. Engler reasoned that students are less sure of their goals and desires when they first enter college and might seek advice more readily. By senior year, the academic crisis is over but the question of the future remains vague and frightening. By the time a student reaches the graduate school level, the answers seem more definate. But sometimes there are worries and questions that need solutions. New programs at the center included a group sen- sitivity counseling session, directed by Dr. Boland. In this, students with the same interests or fears met and discussed the topics that would arise. It brought unity among the patients who might otherwise have thought that they were the only ones with that fear. In a relaxation program, students escaped from built-up anxieties through a process of ' desensitiza- tion. ' Counselors have also served on the all-univer- sity committee to plan sex education courses. They have set up a library of source material on human sexuality outside their office. Again, we m erely advise, Dr. Engler repeated. We can ' t make up the student ' s mind. He has to do that himself Junior Tim Nichols checks the college resource library outside the counseJing offices. Graduate assistants Pat Kramper and Dianette McLeod, left, cram for an exam. 103 Board office tries again, schedules good concert The Student Board of Governors, disgusted with no-show performers, scheduled another concert in the hopes that for once, the group would show up. Tower of Power entertained students in mid-March, in between the snow and the rain and after the dis- appointing cancellation of the R.E.O. Speedwagon appearance. Despite the wariness of another concert flop, stu- dents swarmed in to await the scheduled performance. Highlighted in the 11-member group was the brass and guitar section that produced a brassy soul beat. Pat Ireland, who appeared with Tower of Power, enchanted the Music Hall crowd with his Jim Croce style of music. Fred Walsh, vice president of events for the Board, said that the group had wanted to perform at Creighton earlier in the year, but no time slots were available in Omaha. The Student Board scheduled the earliest possible date in March for the concert. 104 Students crammed the Civic Auditorium to get good seats for the Tower of Power concert. The brass section of the group received the most appiause from the audience. Tower of Power entertained students for a one night stand in March. After the disappointing concert heid a few weeks be- fore, many were skeptical about this one. But their fears were groundless as the group performed with extreme grace and ease before a full house. 105 Tables turned at annua girl-ask-guy turnabout Creighton ' s answer to the Sadie Hawkin ' s Day race — the Turnabout Dance — saw several hundred beam- ing coeds drive up to the doors of Peony Park Ballroom with their chosen dates for the night. The annual dance turned the tables on the date scene. For that one night, it was legal for the girl to ask the guy, drive the car, escort him to the dance and pay for the dinner. It was the guy who wondered if he would be asked and girl who worried about being turned down. But once at the ballroom, the affair was no different then any other dance. Couples boogied to the music of the Smith Brothers, who had also performed at the faculty-student party earlier in the year. Slow, fast and in-between tempos kept the spirit of the dance alive as couples found their own fa vorite beat. Cozy, dimly-lighted tables to the side of the dance floor were a welcome respite for both aching feet and romancers. The dance was sponsored by the Arts Senate, who also planned a movie to end the successful weekend. The Smith Brothers played to an enthusiastic crowd at Peony Park. The fast rock beat kept most coupies on the dance floor throughout the evening. 106 ir Students wishing to purchase mixed drinks, far left, had their hands stamped as they entered the dance hall. This procedure was a convenience for the students and a precaution against un- der-aged drinking. i Several hundred coupJes danced to the rock beat. During intermis- sions, many found their way to secluded tables, whiie others en- joyed the company of their friends and each other. my 107 Independent study promoted in CEC program It ' s a chance to break the 50-minute lecture cycle, a chance to explore an idea that has special interest, a chance to share experience and discoveries in a special off-campus community, said the newest brochure on campus relating to the newest academic program. It was called CEC. It stood for Creighton Extension Curriculum. It meant the latest innovation in inde- pendent study on a college campus. CEC, more directly, was the academic program, put into operation this year, that offered students a chance to study on an unstructured basis. Students chose individual research projects, developed their own ideas and then shared the results with the other participants. Directed by the Rev. John D. Cuddigan, S.J., the course was adopted from other colleges that had car- ried individual study programs. The university had approved the CEC idea three years earlier, but funds were allocated for the first time this year. The Rev. Donald MacLean, S.J., vice president for academic affairs, said CEC had been given a two-year trial period to prove both its effectiveness and its stu- dent appeal. The purpose of the course was to have students live together as colleagues instead of working in class- rooms as competitors and to unite their academic and personal development. It provided a living-learning community, according to Father Cuddigan. A small duplex east of campus was designated as home for the 16 participants and one faculty mem- ber. The group shared one meal together per week, conducted their independent projects and participated in the inter-disciplinary seminars. A project was drawn up by each student according to his or her personal interest. Then a faculty member was sought to sponsor each student. Third, the depart- ment pertaining to that topic was asked to endorse it. After applying for the course, submitting a paper describing the project and listing the proper sponsors and endorsements, each student was reviewed by the special CEC Admissions Board, which was made up of students and faculty members. The applicant was asked questions regarding per- sonal attitudes on community living, what he expected from the course and what he hoped to contribute. In the seminars, directed by Father Cuddigan, Dr. Bruce Malina, associate professor of theology and James Ault, instructor of sociology, students met sev- eral times a week to discuss their progress. A student received three hours credit for partici- pating in the program. Then, based on the difficulty of each project, a student could receive from three to nine hours credit. These hours counted for either divi- sional or elective requirements. They could also be used as major credit with the approval of the department. The rest of the student ' s course load came from the regular classes offered by the university. Under-grad- uates from all colleges at Creighton were eligible for the program. Research topics included a study of left-handers ' problems, an agricultural-biology project, an indepth report on Northwest Iowa Indians, work with retarded children and studies in philosophical and socialog- ical questions. After the two-year trial period, the CEC program will be evaluated for its worth. That evaluation will depend on the student involvement in the projects. The chance at a new learning experience has been offered. It is up to the students in the next two years to take advantage of this resource. 108 Working on community projects and attending weekly seminars vidual research. After the serious discussions, a general rap ses- were two of the main features of the CEC program. Students were sion ensued. The relaxed atmosphere was believed to be file chief expected to report bacJ to the group on the progress of their indi- factor of the program ' s success. Another part of the program was the weekly family meal. Stu- dents were expected to gather around the supper table one day a week, eat a leisurely meal and share the events of the day. Creighton hosts, speech, debate tourney Rousing applause filled the Administration build- ing as over 100 students saw Wesleyan University receive first place sweepstakes trophy in the Nebraska Intercollegiate Forensics Association tournament. Held at Creighton for the first time in several years, the tournament had ten major divisions. Creighton placed in the first or second spot in five of the divisions and was awarded the second place sweepstakes trophy in the Individual Events class. The overall sweepstakes second place saw a tie between the University of Nebraska campuses at Lincoln and Omaha. Other colleges that participated in the two-day event were Hastings and Northwest College in Norfolk, Nebr. Hosted by the Rev. Harold McAuliffe, S.J., the tournament was a chance for students to demonstrate their oratory and debate skills. Divisions included novice and varsity debate, women ' s and Men ' s peace oratory, women ' s and men ' s oratory, informative public address interpretation of poetry and prose and extemporaneous. Arts junior Maria Vakulskas took second place in the Women ' s peace oratory while Arts freshman Allan Nicholas and Arts junior Gregg De Nicola took first and second, respectively, in the men ' s division. Arts junior Larry Miller placed second in Men ' s oratory and Sister Roseann Ocken, Arts sophomore, received first place in informative public address. Creighton placed second in the overall sweepstakes at the annual Forensics debate tournament. It was held at Creighton this year for the first time in many years. The Rev, Harold McAuliffe, S. . hosted the tourney. The two-day long tournament saw over iOO students compete in several categories of debate and speech. Besides preparing the material, students had to be alert and listen to opponents ' arguments. Keeping the students registered according to schools was another hassle. 110 I ' ' T Informative oratory was one of the classifications that stu- dents could compete. Students were not only expected to know their speech, hut also their topic so that they could answer pertinent questions on the subject. It mu 1. Domie. your t)[oo( 2.

A steady diet of coke and stuff out of the candy machine kept the debaters on their toes throughout the hectic schedule. m Campus Ministry unites students and community Five years ago, when the campus ministry program was taking in its first breath of air, the Rev. John Schwantes S.J., director, had great dreams for his fledghng community. Now, he has modified his expectations. When we first started, our dream was to have a huge influence on the university. Now we have set concrete goals that don ' t cover it all. We want to build a community to express faith, he said. In these five years. Campus Ministry went from a university chaplain, who had little influence; to a parish, which acted independently from the campus; to a university community, which incorporated the parish and campus into one body. This was a big step for a group of five full-time priests and a novel appro ach to a religious community on a college campus. Father Schwantes said the purpose of Campus Ministry was to help build a community of people who can share their faith and express it. We have an obligation to create an atmosphere where values are a part of education and the learning process, he continued. The goal of Campus Ministry was ultimately reli- gious throughout the year, but their participation in events didn ' t always stem from that goal. Whether in the Student Center or at Nuncio ' s, we were simply trying to show people that they were important. We were trying to help people discover who they were, Father Schwantes added. Informal and formal retreats were two major pro- grams set up by Father Schwantes and his staff. At the O ' Donnell Center intense religious retreats were held to guide students on social and moral issues. For the popular Over-nighter ' s program, all stu- dents needed were sleeping bags. Approximately 20 students would curl up on the floor in St. John ' s base- ment to spend the night after an evening of activity — including a volleyball game, chit chat and more seri- ous discussions on various topics, and a midnight snack. In the morning, retreaters were shown films on how they could help to better the community. They were urged to make some commitment to further this goal. A Mass usually ended the mini-retreats. Father Schwantes said these promises were not just empty words but good acts came out of them. The 708 Senior Center grew out of an idea to help the elderly that arose during a retreat. A strong liturgical program, coordinated by Trish Novicke, was supported by 50-60 students who helped plan the liturgy at the Masses. Adult education courses and peace studies programs were also initiated by Campus Ministry. Father Schwantes said that his staff and many volunteer priests, oblates and faculty volunteered as counselors when needed. Some lived in the dorms for two reasons: one, so that they would be available at all times; and two, so that they could empathize with the students ' problems there. Brown-bagger lunches were continued for univer- sity staff and secretaries to show that they hadn ' t been forgotten. A faculty group that was started in 1971, finally got a firm grasp of their identity and sponsored the first faculty-student celebration with the help of Campus Ministry. Father Schwantes said this group was trying to come into closer contact with the students so that they could exchange ideas and maybe improve their teaching habits. Although Father Schwantes has watched his fledg- ling grow into a university community, there are still areas that need improvement. In the future he hopes to design programs attractive to both the pro- fessional and non-Catholic students. Through experience, he has learned that these programs will need time to develop. Campus Ministry is still growing, but it has come a long way since 1971. 112 The Rev. John Schivanles. S. ., director of Campus Ministry, modified the scope of the Ministry. Before, he tried to encompass all segments of the university. Now he has focused on more defin- itive areas. St. John ' s Church, below, was where students gathered for either a Mass or overnight retreat. The newiy formed faculty group to promote student-faculty get- togethers, sponsored the first celebration in January. A Mass for unity started the night in St. John ' s Church. 7 ' he group planned many more events for the next semester. Although accd uilh Ihe usual complajnls aboul (he food.

Switch in food services hails approval, gripes The Hilton Hotel Dining Room it wasn ' t. But, besides all the complaints, students kept returning to the dorm cafeterias for daily meals. Despite the fact that there was no place else to go, lines began forming every afternoon and be 4:30, the long wait was just beginning with the early bird getting the top choice. Students were surprised when they returned in the fall to find a new catering company had taken over. Catering Management, Inc., the food service for the past few years, had been underbid by one of the largest regional catering services, ARA. Clay Pruner, food service director for the new com- pany at Creighton, guaranteed students seconds on all food except the higher priced entree on the menu — meaning meat. Only one helping of meat brought static from the students, but they were quickly subdues when the ban on seconds was lifted early in the first semester. Despite complaints of bad food, the dorm dining halls were just the right places to meet friends, talk over the day ' s activities or gulp down the food in a hurry to get to class. ARA proved to be thoughtful of the students when they agreed to stay open longer hours during final week to offer needy students a respite from their studies and ease their hunger pangs. 115 Construction add to students ' parking woes The perennial problem of parking hit Creighton like a year-long epidemic again in 1973-74. With the construction crews swarming the east end of campus to complete building projects, the situation was more pressing than in previous years. But according to James Doyle, associate dean of students, there was enough spots available to students in the seven near-campus lots. The truth is, he said, that students hate to walk the two or three blocks back to campus from the lots. Doyle added that with the completion of the new School of Dentistry across the Interstate, more spots were available on campus. He said dent students, patients and visiting doctors parked in the new dental lots. The parking techniques of some students also created problems. If a student was lucky enough to nab a spot close to campus, there was no guarantee that he would be able to get out when he returned. He might discover that other less fortunate students, in a hurry to get to class, had blocked a parking lot thoroughfare or hemmed in his car instead of extend- ing their search to other lots. For the student who came early and stayed late, the problem was considerably reduced. Parking problems are almost a tradition at Creighton. Without having to worry about making Iha long walk from the lots to campus or not sliding into a parked car while (rying to leave the unplowed, snowy lots, students would have nothing to do. i -.. r ' w- ' ' • 116 - :l. :i i iy Students often complain about having so many paved faculty parking lots as compared to the gravel lots that students use. This year, although faculty signs still dotted the lots, many professors had to make the long hike with students. One driver, above, was over-zeaious when looking for a spot. ks C 117 parking , food services add to students ' gripes The T-D situation remained status quo this year with Townies begging to get on campus and Dormies begging to move out. However, the battle with the administration wasn ' t as stringent as in previous years. More upperclassmen were allowed to live off campus, due to the increasing number of freshmen who moved into the dorms. Problems remained the same in other areas, how- ever. Dormies were still plagued with complaints about not getting enough food, sleep, privacy. Yet, they were a family working, studying and playing together; growing closer everyday, yet still far enough away to retain their own identity. Controversies were at a minimum this year. Alcohol and co-ed dorms had become realities the year before. What more could a dormie ask? For townies, trouble still remained. They repeatedly cried in vain for better student parking, for more infor- mation on campus activities, and for more places to go on campus. Except for the library and the student center, the townie was at a loss for someplace to sit between classes, they complained. But, for those townies who wanted to get involved in the campus life, there was always enough things to do and people to meet. Townies and dormies blended together as one group of students bent on getting a college education with a lot of fun thrown in. 118 119 L n m ) w 1 ii m r r J JMii irn  Academic Life t .-- ' Construction crews ready new campus homes « While the Fine Arts department moved into its new home last fall, the School of Law eagerly anticipated the completion of its facility next August. Fine Arts, previously located in a one-room, barn- like structure on 14th and Davenport, was transferred to the vacant old dental building on campus. Now photography, drawing, painting, printing, ceramics, sculpture, music and faculty studios all have their own nooks in the spacious building. There is enough space to give students and fac- ulty the chance to spread out and let creative genius run wild. Fine Arts students anticipate the completion of the new School of Law in order to end classroom shar- ing with law students. The Law Center, named in honor of the late Hayden W. Ahmanson, a 1923 graduate of the law school, will be almost four times the size of the present one, accord- ing to Steven Frankino, now in his third year as dean. The 86,000 square foot structure will occupy nearly a full-block site one block east of campus. The center will be a two-level structure. One-half of the upper level will house faculty offices, a student lounge and space for research by members of the practicing bar. The law library will occupy the other half of the upper level. It will have a capacity of 120,000 volumes. The library will contain a copy center, a microfilm room, a periodical reading room and two soundproof Wilh (h« brighl sun .shining down, Hawkins Construction Co. cn.

The law center will be the second building erected during Creighton ' s $100 million Centennial Thrust Drive. The new School of Dentistry on the west end of campus was completed last summer. Overall costs of the law building is four -million dollars. The Ahmanson Foundation has donated two- million dollars to the cost of the superstructure. Contributions from the Centennial Thrust and Fed- eral Interest Subsidy Grant have absorbed the rest of the cost. The new law center is designed to accommodate 500 students, which is the number currently enrolled in the school. 122 Studenis study portraits and art work of faculty members and arlisis at the Fine Arls Gallery.

An air vent system give stu- dents a skylight. Health Sciences gets boost with two complexes The ever -changing, constantly growing world of Health Sciences at Creighton received a great boost with the opening of the new Boyne School of Dental Science and the groundbreaking of the Unit III of the Dr. C. C. and Mabel Criss Medical Center. The $10.5 million dental building allowed the school a 50 percent enrollment increase. The three level educational center contains 175 patieht-care stations, including 13 x-ray centers. Laboratories were fitted with the most modern equip- ment. A closed-circuit color television system runs throughout the laboratories, classrooms and clinics. The dental school was named after Dr. Harry N. and Maude Boyne, natives of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The late Dr. Boyne was graduated from Creighton ' s School of Dentistry in 1913 and the School of Medicine in 1932. He served on the dental and medical faculties for 38 years before retiring in 1962. While dental students eagerly became acquainted with their new facility, the Hawkins Construction crews waited the signal to begin construction of Criss III, the 8.5 million building that would house medical faculty, the School of Pharmacy and expanded laboratory facilities. Located to the east of the Criss II building, the five-story complex was scheduled for completion in August, 1975. Dr. Joseph M. Holthaus, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine, said construction was delayed when federal funds were impounded. He said a $5.9 million federal grant has been received. The remaining cost was to be covered by Centennial Thrust funds and the Criss gift. The center is named after Dr. C. C. and Mabel Criss, long-time residents of Omaha. The late Dr. Criss was graduated fi-om the School of Medicine. They were the founders of the nationally known insurance companies, Mutual and United of Omaha. 125 Teaching hospital dream to be a reality in 77 Plans for a 370-bed teaching hospital to replace the obsolete St. Joseph Hospital were flying at full speed in early March. The $60 million structure, to be located west of the freeway near the new dental building, is designed on a horizontal configuration to provide more efTi- ciences, according to Dr. Joseph Holthaus, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine. The five level building will incorporate a health professions center that will contain office space for private practitioners as well as faculty members. Dr. Holthaus said the medical center will allow the treatment of more patients with fewer beds and provide a greater degree of dignity for the patients. We intend to eliminate the town-gap, he said. The hospita l and the health professions center will drastically reduce the amount of time a physician spends travelling from office to hospitals. He will need only to leave his office, walk down the hall and make the rounds, Holthaus added. The first level will contain private offices for physi- cians and faculty. A public mall entry will be at Level II. Information and administration centers will be located on this level along with a gift and coffee shop and a pharmac ' . Level III, termed the Life Support Level, will include the emergency room, surgery, a trauma center, the intensive coronary care centers, the cardiac cath, laboratory and a surgi -center. Holthaus explained that patients needing minor surgery, but not over-night hospitalization, would be placed in the surgi-center. This concept will allow them to be placed on an outpatient status, have minor surgery in the morning and go home in the afternoon, he said. According to Holthaus, by grouping the surgery rooms and emergency center together, surgeons and cardiologists remain only steps away from the seri- ously ill patients. Levels IV and V will each accommodate approxi- mately 168 patients. Twenty-eight rooms clustered around each nurses station will give nurses greater opportunity to view patients and meet their needs. We have planned for the maximum patient com- fort, Holthaus said. The patient will be treated as a patron and the room as a place of residence. Two parking facilities, one which would span the North Freeway, were also planned. Designs for the structure were drawn up by the Leo A. Daly Co., under the supervision of a five- member committee, including Dr. Robert P. Heaney, vice president for Health Sciences at Creighton; Dr. Richard Booth, associate dean of the School of Medi- cine, representing the Regional Health Care Corpo- ration; James Ingraham, Leo A. Daly Co.; Arthur Peckham, partner in Agnew-Packham Associates hospital planning consulting company; and Conrad Maygers, a financial consultant. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has approved a $5.47 million grant and $22 million in guaranteed loans for the medical center, which is to be completed in the spring of 1977. 126 Arts and Sciences Bearded prof violates traditional image of dean Sitting in his black, leather chair, the bearded man with gold wire-rimmed glasses slowly lit his pipe. He didn ' t look like a dean, but then, what are deans sup- posed to look like? Students have a stereotyped image of a dean. They view him as either good or bad, said Dr. Richard Pas- son, new dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. They only come to talk to him when there is some crucial problem. Passon, in his first year at Creighton, hopes to develop a different atmosphere between the students and himself At 34, the youngest administrator on campus said his job was a difficult one. Passon has a list of specific goals to reach at Creigh- ton, but, he said, they will be never-ending projects, little steps that should be noticeable by next fall. Primary problems on his list are curriculum revi- sions, re-evaluations of freshman year and the tutor- ing program. The administration can ' t change things alone because they aren ' t involved separately, Passon said. We can change the ideas, but if the way people teach doesn ' t change, it doesn ' t work. Just what do deans do? Very simply, they get people with differing ideas to work for the same goals, the former English pro- fessor answered as he puffed on his pipe. A university is a collection of people who interact together, he continued. The administration makes sure that this interaction takes place. Passon also plans to place more emphasis on the College of Arts and Sciences as dean. Always before the college has acted as the weak sister to the professional schools, who have overshad- owed her, he said. There is no reason for the under- graduate schools to be scoffed at as they have proven their relative worth to the university. Passon, who spent eight years as a teacher before turning administrator, still thinks of himself as a student. I ' ve never stopped learning, he said. I just moved from one side of the desk to the other. 128 Running a coIJege is a major task. Dean Passon in his first year at Creighton finds his job challenging. Secretary AJice Hanlon assists the dean by making his numerous appointments.

The student governing body for the College of Arts and Sciences was composed of the school ' s class officers and presided by Carol Tacke with help from Mike Scahill, vice-president; Donna Mitzunaga, treasurer and Becky LaVoy, secretary. Some of the events planned by the Senate included the Kegger at Carter Lake in early September, the end of semester book sale. Fall Frolics, the canned food drive, Turnabout Dance and Winter fest, which replaced Homecoming this year. Although the Arts Senate kegger in early Septem- ber was a smashing success, the turnout might have been greater if students had known the route to the distant Carter Lake ballroom. 132 To heip students both academically and socially was CUASA ' s aim. The 150-member group sponsored many programs to communicate their African cuJture to Creighton and the Omaha community to try and bridge the bJack-white gap. Black week, art exhibit display African culture An African festival late in the spring was one of the gala events listed on the busy schedule of CUASA, Creighton University Afro-American Stu- dent Association. James Riddick, president of the student group, said CUASA was designed to help black students academi- cally and socially and also to help the blacks in the Omaha community. The 150-member group, which has been affiliated for five years on campus, planned two other major social events this year — a Black Week in mid-Febr. and a black art exhibit in March. Guest speakers were also sponsored by the group. Stokely Carmichael made an unannounced appearance late in the first semester and Dr. Goodland, president of the Black Press of America, visited the campus in Jan. Moderated by Samuel Crawford, associate vice- president for student personnel, CUASA conducted a successful clothing drive in Nov. for needy families in the Omaha ghetto. A food drive was also held late in the Spring. CUASA structured itself on the basis of various committees in the fields of public relations, community involvement, events and tutoring. 133 Toun Council: Bottom, Cassie Daeges {secrelary-treasurer,) Dick Spanheimer (vice president,) jerry Wilson (president.)

Town Council blossoms with new ideas, faces Town Council, the traditional wall-flower organiza- tion at Creighton, flung off its apathetic robe after many efforts, and stressed student involvement this year. President Jerry Wilson initiated many first steps in getting the wobbling group back on its feet. First, Town Council sponsored the smash success Night at the Bitter End concert to complete Welcome Week in the fall. A T.G.I.F. in Lower Brandeis was also hosted by the group, whose emphasis was on involving town students in caimpus activities. Wilson said the group was open to all students but an emphasis was placed on townies. If taken seriously, this is one group that could arouse student interest and make townies an integral part of campus life, he said. Other events planned by the group were top-rate movies on campus for the less-expensive date-seekers. Town Council also supported a candidate for the Stu- dent Board of Governors in the Spring election. Other officers of Town Council were Greg Dietz, vice-president; Cassie Daeges, secretary -treasurer and Marty Vacanti, editor of the group ' s monthly newsletter. Adthou primarily a social group to acquaint town students with dorm and campus activities, Town Council also tried to alleviate townie woes. The most pressing was the parking situation. 134 I Teaching job pays off with children ' s smiling face What is it in a person that mcikes her want to face 30 sometimes-inquisitive, sometimes-impish third- graders five days a week for nine straight months? Students in SNEA, the Student National Education Association are seeking answers to questions similar to this one to see if they are truly intent on a teaching career. Maria Anderson, president of Creighton ' s chapter of the national education student group, said the purpose of SNEA was to instill a professional atti- tude in the future teachers. She said meeting teachers and discussing class- room problems helped students become acquainted with the field of education before they are thrown unprepared into the stream to sink or swim in front of a classroom-full of wide-eyed children. The organization is open to students interested in education and is coordinated by Dr. Darrell Skinner from the education department. Other officers are Mary Hurrle, vice-president; Ellen Ritzdorf, treasurer and Jane O ' Keefe, secretary. The main social events sponsored by SNEA are the two student-faculty teas and the Spring regional convention, which kept students up-to-date on educa- tion innovations.

Oriental self-defense epidemic spreads to campus The newly-popular sport of Martial Arts invaded the campus this year in epidemic style. According to president Jim Carte, a Martial Arts club was formed to teach interested student the art of self-defense. Instructed by Mr. Suk Ki Shin from Shin ' s Academy of Tae-Kwon-do (Korean Karate,) approximately 25 students met weekly to practice their newly-learned skills of basic physical movements for defense. The object of the group was to build self confidence, self discipline, personal strength and a greater under- standing of the arts in each individual, Carte said. Workouts and demonstrations of the arts were sched- uled during the second semester. No credit was re- ceived for the course but promoters were working on the idea, he said. Other officers of the club included Paul Johnson, vice- president; Gene Brooks, secretary and Doree ' Baker, treasurer.

Sponsored by Dr. Robert Apostol, the group met often to try to discover answers to these questions. Co-chairmen Kent Watson and Mark Feldhausen scheduled many guest lecturers to give the members a wider scope of opinion on which to base their judg- ment. Students conducted individual research on various issues and presented their conclusions to the group. They also attended several philosophy seminars throughout the state. Other officers of the small group were Jean Weifen- bach, treasurer and Pat Rohr, secretary. Dr. Robert Z.

According to vice-president Tom Johnson, the purpose of the group was to foster an interest in history on Creighton ' s campus. It was a good way to socialize with students of similar interests, he added. Seminars and guest speakers were the main events that kept group members busy throughout the year, said president Ellen Ritzdorf. Moderated by Dr. Allan Schleich, Phi Alpha Theta tried to enrich the students ' historical background and make past history an important part of the present. Other officers in the 40-member club were Peter Shuning, treasurer and Marcia Keltonic, secretary. V m l .

Club moderator was Dr. Kenneth Wise and Dennis McNeilly was secretary-treasurer. IRC sent a delegation to the Midwest Model United Nations Conference at Lincoln in the spring. This model U.N. is set up annually to demonstrate actual U.N. procedures to students. Speakers were also hosted by the council to promote an interest in world problems and to answer questions on U.S. involvement in world affairs. Open to any students, the group attracted many political science majors. Arts sophomore Mary EJJen RozmajzJ was the Creighton student chosen to appear on a local teJevision questions and answers program with NebrasJca governor . . Exon. 139 Tutoring ' turns students on ' to chemical equations Although few in number, the Creighton University Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society tried hard to promote interest in chemistry on campus. President Nick Wolf said many tutoring and review sessions were held to help unsure students achieve the massive task of understanding a chemical equa- tion. Moderated by Dr. Robert L. Snipp, the chemistry club also sponsored many social events to promote the science of chemistry and to develop a strong bond of friendship between students with the same interest in chemistry. A chemistry explorer post was also sponsored by the club, whose other officers included vice-president Steve Gruba and secretary Terry Piccolo.

Med Tech club pleads for more clinical experience Still fighting for their own department, the Medi- cal Technology club put up a strong front in their two- year-long effort. A second goal of the group was to introduce med tech undergraduates to the clinical pathology labora- tories. As the program is currently set up at Creighton, the three years spent on campus are completely apart from the last year spent in an internship pro- gram at a hospital. According to president Bethel Kapp, the med tech club attempted to slowly acquaint the girls with clini- cal work before being tossed into it unprepared. By obtaining clinical experience while still in classs, students could more easily understant textbook form- ulas, she reasoned. The club sponsored seminars to study new develop- ments in the field of medical technology and initiated a program where students could perform introductory lab work at St. Joseph ' s Hospital. Adviser for the group was Dr. Marie Davies. Paula Thyfault sei ed as vice-president and Jean Fitz- patrick was secretary-treasurer. Chemistry lab is a favorite with some students. Groping into the unknown and recording numerous chemical reactions is a diffi- cult technique required in the observation of laboratory experi- ments. 141 Math Club: Bottom, Don Langenfeld (treasurer,) Rita Bianchi fpres- idenlj Mary Coffey (secretary,) Maurus Spence (vice president,) the Rev.

Levity plus learning equals Math Field Day With the Math Club Field Day being the focal point of their activities, the members kept busy academi- cally and socially. The Field Day, held in February, saw 800 students representing 80 high schools in a five state area compete in events such as the Chalk-Talk Derby, Leap-Frog Relay and the Mad-Hatter Marathon. Conrad Marquard moderated the Field Day, while Creighton math students graded the papers. Scholar- ships were awarded to the winning contestants. Maurus Spence, vice president of the group, organ- ized tours to the County Computer Center and KOIL ' s computer to see how math ties in practically outside the university setting. The club also sponsored a volley ball game for its members. Pi Mu Epsilon, is what President Rita Bianchi termed a subset of the math club. The national math honor society. Pi Mu Epsilon ' s membership is based on academics requiring a 3.0 quality point average and three semesters of math at Creighton. Begun the previous year, the society ' s members consist of 15 in the Math Club. Joan Innes was faculty adviser for the two organ- izations, aided by Marquard with the honor society. 142 Books were put aside, far left, as students en;oyed the music of the Rumbies in the dim light at the HiUon Hotel Ballroom.

Physics Club bolsters sagging college spirit To foster the idea that there is more to college than just classes and studying, was the purpose of the Physics Club during the year, according to its president, Toni Bennie. Organizing basektball games between the club and the faculty and holding numerous social functions were part of the group ' s activities. The club ' s almost 20 members, under the direction of Dr. K. Michael Davies, also sponsored its annual Physics Field Day for the high school students in the area. It was held early in the second semester and set up as a college bowl with the three top schools taking the trophies. 143 Speech Path, bottom, Peggy Draisley, Mary Jane Amdor, Colleen Dwyer, Lorette Marin, Therese Henderson, middle, Peggy Black, Ann AnJers, Ann Barrett, Joane Canlton, top, Jean Nipple, Mary K.

Guest lecturers attended the conference to discuss new developments in the ever-expanding field of speech therapy. Dr. Doris Bradley from the University of North Carolina, described a new method of analysis for ar- ticulation disorders in children who suffer with the problem of delayed speech. The second main speaker at the symposium, Dr. Julie Davis from the University of Iowa, spoke on the problems encountered by hard-of-hearing children in the school system. The symposium, co-ordinated by Mrs. Moretta Camp from St. Joseph ' s Hospital, attracted many area speech therapists and students in the field. The Speech Therapy club also experienced a switch in the executive office over semester break. When president Mary Kay Parker graduated in Dec, senior Peggy Draisey assumed the title for the spring semes- ter activities. Primarily an academic group, Speech Path has 20 members. Only sophomores and upperclassmen major- ing in the field are eligible for membership in the club. 144 Business Administration 145 Mr. Ray Finnegan ' s advertising class had a better idea when they took a Ford Mustang U for a semester test-drive.

All business students get a first hand look at the library, right, when they are in the process of writing up their management projects. 148 1 step backwards proves successful in Business A step backward does not always indicate failure. As proven by the College of Business Administration, it can mean a return to the better path. One of the first moves Dr. Jean Carrica made in his new role as dean of the business school was to switch back to the structure of departmental chairmen. It had been dropped last year by former Dean William Lit- zinger in lieu of a new administrative management program in which the dean made final department decisions. In the current plan, Carrica said there was more participation among the faculty on administrative decisions concerning course offerings than Litzinger ' s plan. Instead of a dean making a decision for the entire school, the chairmen of the various departments (Economics, Accounting and Administration) could voice their opinions. This takes the responsibility back to the depart- ment, who know more about the needs and demands than the dean of the college, Carrica said. The chairmen are involved in their department all day while the dean has to take the overall view of the college. Carrica, who had taught in the business school since 1967 before accepting the dean ' s post, said having had students in class has helped him in his new post. He knows where to turn when he needs help. He admitted that as a teacher, he hadn ' t appreci- ated the specific problems that go into an adminis- trative post. Faculty tend to isolate the problems of their own department, he explained. But as a dean, you have to look at the total college and see what is most beneficial for the whole set-up. Different areas have a conflict of interests, whereas the dean must see the total demands put on the school, Carrica said. The major difficulty facing the new dean was the enrollment. He said there were two ways to view the problem. Although there were less students enrolled in the business college, the business faculty were teach- ing more credit hours than before. Translated, this means that students from other colleges (Arts and Sciences and Nursing) are crossing over and picking up some business courses. Carrica hopes to fill four or five faculty positions by the fall semester. He said some faculty members had left in the last few years and that full time replace- ments had not been found. Many part-time teachers had been hired instead. But, full-time professors will eliminate much of the problem in that area, Carrica said. In his new, yet old, program Carrica is hopeful that this one step backward will mean progress in the future. 149 First Business Day attracts many high schools f The business world isn ' t always Wall Street-serious or Dow Jones-grim. Sometimes it can be relaxing. Omaha area high school students discovered this at Creighton ' s first Business Day in March. The day was sponsored by the Bus Ad Council and the Admis- sions office and moderated by Mr. Kenneth Bond, assistant professor of systems. Students competed in games on computers to see who was the best business man. But it was not all fun and games. The purpose of the day was to bring students to campus and expose them to CU ' s atmosphere. Creighton business graduates were available to answer questions about various fields of business and explain what Creighton had to offer in that area. The graduates also told students how their busi- ness education and degree had helped them in their business career.

A new course offered to upperclassmen and MBA (Masters of Business Administration students) sent students out to investigate small business administra- tions in the Omaha area. The SBA (Student Business Association) made loans to the businesses. It was the student ' s job to examine the office oper- ations, find out what was wrong and make recom- mendations on how to improve the structure so that the business would run more smoothly and be more profitable. A two-fold benefit was received from the course. Students got experience and a chance to apply class- room procedures, while the businesses received free advice and a chance to improve their franchise. Another course — the capstone course — was bom this year. It was the last one that business majors would be required to take for their degree. The students were divided into teams to study problems in busi- nesses. Together they hashed out solutions. Besides these two new courses, the business school had special projects courses in every field in which students could submit ideas for individual projects related to a business problem. Carrica said this method of education gives the students more flexibility in their course scheduling. It removes the four-wall environment of the class- room, he said. Tutoring positions were also available to top stu- dents to help others with their work. By assisting someone understand the subject, it was a learning experience for the student teacher, the business school reasoned. In order to teach it, one had to under- stand it. By the experience courses, students will be more ready to face the business world upon graduation. Debbie Madden and Kevin FieJds, left, find their filing work seri- ous business.

The com- puter center has been serving students and faculty with continuous service for seven years. The computer center is here primarily for the use of the students, said Rev. Edward Sharp, S.V. who has been director of the center since it opened. An IBM 1130 computer used in the center is a late model small computer that is excellant for scientific and statistical work according to Father Sharp. The computer can solve any problem that is correctly pro- grammed into it. Work for the schools and offices, printing address labels for various university departments and compil- ing the student directory are some of the many jobs the computer center tackled during the year. Students in science and business disciplines used the computer to help them in their projects, he said. The center was open an average of 60 hours a week for student and faculty use. The staff consists of 12 students, eight on work-study and four others. 155 Besides the actual programming of the copiputer, stu- dents had to check data before feeding it into the sensi- tive machine. A small human error could change or falsify the computer analysis of the problem. Students were instructed that accuracy was more important that the time spent on the project by the student. Fourth floor center serves CU students, faculty Dial a phone number and get tied into a computer. Sound like something out of Flash Gordon? It isn ' t. This was how the time-sharing terminal operated by the Bus Ad college worked. Kenneth Bond, associate professor of management, has been the director of the terminal operation since it began in 1972. This terminal was used for student instruction, Bond said. Several courses utilized the terminal as a teaching tool. The terminal was tied into a Control Data CDC-64 computer. It came with programs so that the student did not have to type out his own. Each student who used the terminal was assigned a code number that he typed out whenever he used the terminal. He then requested the program and inserted any extra data needed. Students have priority on the terminal, according to Bond. Last semester, we had to use a sign-up system because of the number of students using the computer, Bond said. A drop in the number of students using the terminal enabled us to eliminate the sign-up system. The terminal was obtained during the ' 72-73 school with a grant from the Slaon Foundation. It was financed by the university this year. I Computer programming can be a harrowing experience. But it ' s also fun, especially when you understand it. Students operated the computers as part of the work-study program and also for class assignments. 156 M I 1:1 M 157 Alpha Sigma Nu adds new members to group The two national Jesuit Honor Societies were united under one name, Alpha Sigma Nu, during the year. Chosen primarily for academic achievement, ASN members were nominated from their individual col- leges and schools. Also taken into consideration were the students ' loyalty and service to the university. Alumni selected to the group were chosen because of distinctions for achievements in post-collegiate careers. Initiation ceremonies were set for late January. The Rev. Donald MacLean, S.J. vice president for academic affairs, greeted the group, who were moderated by dean of women, Eileen Lieben. New student intiates included Lawrence Adams, William Betterman, Robert Burnett, Thomas Culhane, William DeMars, Joyce Dixon, Nancy Felker, Wil- liam Gallagher, Thomas Grennan, Gregory Harshbar- ger, Maxine Horning and Mary Hunt. Also selected to the group were Ida Jones, Elizabeth Laughlin, Mark Levy, David Loxterkamp, Mary Martinetto, Michael Nelsen, Tim O ' Connor, Richard O ' Day, Michelle Remmes, Gregory Schwietz, Stephen Schroeder, Cynthia Severin.

Supporting this humanistic approach to medicine, Holthaus cited the numerous course changes and improved teaching methods at the school. These reflect results of recent research, he said, which allows for more flexibility. The curri- culum can now be adjusted to better meet the needs of the students. The current four-year medicine program, although on a time-sequence basis, still offers innovation to the busy students. Freshmen receive clinical introductions to human development and behavior in their first semester along with the traditional courses in anatomy, bio- chemistry and physiology. Clinical training is reinforced in the second year to implant the importance of the patient early in the student ' s training, Holthaus said. The junior year remains much the same. Rotations in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and neurol- ogy give the students a broader knowledge of the field. A selective program in the senior year prepares the students to enter a specialty progreim upon graduation, the dean said. The seniors enter internship residency programs as elective work on and off campus on a pass-fail basis. A program in the planning stage would set up private practicing physicians as Preceptor mentors for seniors. In this program, Holthaus explained that a student would be placed under the supervision of a physician on a full-time basis. He would work alongside the doctor in his regular practice and then be evaluated for his work. Our curriculum planning is evolving toward a heavy emphasis on clinical experience supported by strong pre-clinical science preparation, Holthaus said. This provides the flexibility that will meet to- day ' s and tomorrow ' s needs in the practice of medicine. 162 I George Rice, a familiar face to health science students, left, takes one more look at the rack of test tubes to check for errors made by first year med students in the labs. BeJow, the correct measurement of a chemical is o (en the deciding factor in the precise answer. 163 164 « ' B H 1 Before being accepted into Med School, students must be wilJing to devote Jong hours to study and clinical things. Without this dedication, Medico) School is impossible. Undergrads race for few med school seats With 44 percent of the incoming freshmen listing a pre-professional major, the race for the scarce number of seats available in the schools will be an interest- ing one. According to Dr. Richard Andrews, assistant dean of the School of Medicine, Creighton received 9,000 applicants for 110 places in the college this year. Dr. Andrews said only one out of five qualified students will find an opening in a medical program somewhere. He said students who did their undergraduate work at Creighton would have a better chance for acceptance at the school than students from other colleges. Being accepted in med school is highly competitive, Dr. Andrews said. A 3.5 Q.P.A. plus a high AMCAT score is essential for placement. He advised students to be prepared for two things. First, he said they should be willing to work hard for their grades and keep them at a superior level. Second, he said all students should have an alternative career in mind. Medical registration, far left, was not as trying an experience as expected. Dr. HoJthaus, left, takes time to visit a Friday afternoon class to keep in close contact with the students. 165 Surgery requires work, many sleepless nights When students enter medical school, they antici- pate many sleepless nights of study and clinical work. After they have been in the medical routine for awhile, they realize that their anticipation was correct. But they also realize a sense of satisfaction in helping peo- ple, whether physically or mentally. One division of their training not only readies them for a career in that field, but gives them a deep respect for the power of mankind over another. The division is surgery. Dr. Claude Organ, professor and chairman of the surgery department, accompanies his students on their rounds of St. Joseph ' s hospital asking diagnostic questions and seeking opinions on what type of surgery is needed, if any. Students are expected to examine patients, diagnose their case and determine how to treat them. If surgery is required, they must decide what procedure to use. Homeless dogs from the Nebraska Humane Society are used as patients. They are treated for illnesses and given medicine to register its effects. Operations are performed on the dogs to give students a simulated experience before they actually test their skills of saving lives. 166 Surgery is onJy one rotation that med students experience in their clinical training. It teaches them what to expect if the surgical field is chosen for a c areer. Spring registration proves a pleasant surprise What was believed to be another headache after just recuperating from the New Year ' s one, proved to be a pleasant surprise instead. Second semester registration for med students lasted as long as it took them to pay their tuition. Students breezed in and out of the door as quickly as they came. No long lines were visible in the ground floor classroom. No IBM cards or personal identifica- tion papers had to be signed. No class schedule had to be drawn up. University cashier Clare Maloney explained that all forms had been filled out in the fall. But many students were still uncertain of the Godsend that had befallen. Students trudged in with a look of despair but quickly left with a grin. Two trends of thought per- meated the room; We better get out of here before they find something for us to fill out, or Are you sure that ' s all I have to do? For the student, it was all over after the check was signed. But, for the ladies from the business office, their work had just begun. I 168 School of Law 169 Books, newspapers, pamphlets, books, court briefs, trial proceedings and more books are only a few of the headaches that plague law students. Most students quickly discovered that if put aside for awhile, the headaches didn ' t go away, they just added up. The library wasn ' t the only place to study. A small nook in the student center did fine. After classes all morning, it was nice to meet friends in the law library and catch up on the latest news. Tidbits of informa- tion floated freely during class changes. But some, far right, kept their noses in the books even during a free moment. There just didn ' t seem to be enough time in a day to get everything done. 170 Future of first choice law positions look bleak What happens to the law student after graduation? If the question is ' Does he get a job? ' the answer is 100 per cent yes, said dean Stephen Frankino. But, if it ' s ' Does he get the one he wants? ' the per- centage might not be the same. First choices are diminishing. The average grad lands a position of associate in a law firm with the strong possibility of becoming a partner someday. What effect does the law school curriculum have on this decision? A reasonable answer would be that the most prepared person might have a better chance ■■MWVMWHan at his first choice position. Last year Creighton ' s School of Law revamped their curriculum. This year, its effects can be measured. Frankino, dean of the law school, said a shift was made from a system of required courses to one of electives. The students structure their own course selections and emphasize personal areas of interest, he said. The courses have been divided into five categories. Students are required to choose six hours fi-om each to insure a comprehensive background in all areas with flexibility to take the rest of the hours in one area of their major interest. Our educational philosophy is to train lawyers, not specialists, Dean Frankino said. But, he noted that most lawyers do branch off into a specific field of law. The pre-eminent skill of a lawyer is to communicate, written and orally, he continued. First year students are introduced to legal writing. Later, in Moot Court practice trials, they encounter oral experience. Two major areas of study that law students take are the practice courtroom and the actual clinical work. The first, offered to second and third year students, is an academic simulated presentation of a real legal problem. The case itself is fiction. But the jury, judge and trial are real. The student does everything that Perry Mason does, the dean quipped. The clinical work, however, is flesh and blood practice. Students work with Omaha lawyers on actual cases. The reward is two-fold in this program. Students gain experience and lawyers get a new focus to their practice through young ideas, Frankino said. By blending academics with practice, law schools are beginning to bridge the gap between struggling students and the established firm. This prepares them to meet the law firm after graduation. 171 Students discovered early in the semester that the law library was a required spot to visit daiJy. In order to study the many court coses and examine trial proceedings, they needed the privacy of the library. Thick heavy text books separate the undergraduate from the law In Jaw school students learned quickly that no one could ever be student. Diligence of study permeates the atmosphere as students over-prepared for class. There was always something new, some- prepare their briefs and ready themselves for the next class, thing different to learn about the American government. 172 s Rain or shine, students frequent old law library Where do you usually find a Creighton law student on a bright sunny day, or even a dismal rainy one? The Law Library would be a good place to look. Daily, the young lawyers flock to the small room on the second floor to look up histories of court cases for their next class, or to finish their chapter readings, or just to drop their heavy load of books for a few seconds and catch their breath before going to class. Lined with shelves of books and case studies, the library offers just the right atmosphere for hard, solid thought needed for their intensive study. 173 Law school pushes forward for bridge over school-law firm gap The Law administration knew what it was doing when chairs were placed in the haiiways at the old school. Weary students couidn ' t get much farther than the chair just outside the classroom before stopping for a tiny rest. 174 Discussions at the Law School were not always ultra-serious. There was also time for small talk and even some time to read the Creighton- ian between classes and talk with friends. Resf and relaxation are uncommon H ' ords in a law student ' s vocabulary. But, sometimes there ' s a chance to sit back whiJe studying for bar exams. Law fraternity sponsors Sedgewick golf tourney The international professional law fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta, attended to the social needs of its members this year when it co-sponsored the Sedge- wick Open golf tournament in the fall. The fraternity ' s 45 members also offered academic help to law students needing assistance. Faculty adviser for the group was Professor Rodney Shkolnick.

The new building was occupied. Clinical training was emphasized. Four dental fresh- men wore skirts. — Although the physical atmosphere at the dental school was transformed into one of modern construc- tion with the completion of the Boyne School of Den- tal Sciences, the academics of the school remained primarily the same. Dr. Robert Vining, dean of the dent school, said moving to the new building was a big job, but not quite a traumatic experience. After settling into the spacious building, students were intent to follow their daily schedules of labs, classes and clinical routine. As always, the latter was emphasized in the educational program. Because many graduates practice in small rural areas, the quality of their work depended on the depth of their clinical training. Freshmen were allowed to participate in the clinic on a small scale, to acquaint them with patient-dentist relationships. Before, only third and fourth year dent students were allowed in the clinic. All dental classes are required until second semester senior year. Then electives can fill part of their schedule. Junior and senior students participate in Block assignments, which are two-week rotations between different areas of work. The rotations include a children ' s clinic, hospital, oral diagnosis center and preceptorship program, which is offered to seniors only. In the rotations, students spend two weeks working in each field along with professionals to pick up first hand experience. The rotations were geared toward more clinical work to steer away from the classroom study. In the preceptorship program, students worked in private dental offices to learn on the spot knowledge of how to run an office. Dentists became part of the school staff. Their offices became a clinical entension of Creighton. Dr. Vining said the job situation was the reverse of some professions. The demand for dental hygiene care is increasing much more rapidly than the supply of dentists, Dr. Vining said, there are some small communities that are begging for dentists. The trend for more women to join the profession also became prominent. Out of a class of 73 freshmen, four were women. The only other women in the dent school was in the sophomore class. She was the first woman to enter the school since 1946. Women just weren ' t interested, Vining said. It ' s a fine profession for them. 179 Personal touch added to patient care routine A more personal touch was added to the daily patient-care routine at the dental clinic during the year. Besides cleaning teeth, making x-rays, filling cavities and completing major dental work, a program to prevent rush trips to the dentist was initiated. The Patient Oral Hygiene program taught patients the basic techniques on how to care for their teeth properly. Student instructors explained the importance of proper brushing and eating habits to insure healthy teeth. Approximately 5,000 patients made over 50,000 visits to the clinic during the school year. Although some patients were students, the majority were from the Omaha community. A staff of 45 dental assistants and students, under direct teacher-supervision, treated the patients at the clinic. In previous years, only junior and senior dent students participated in the clinic regularly. But this year, freshmen and sophomores were given more opportunity to adapt to the clinical surroundings. Freshmen were scheduled to perform minor non- complicated operations on patients to acquaint them with dentist-patient relations early in their training. yi T Dental studenf.s w(;re given ample opportunity to obtain major, dentai techniques. Due to new teaching methods and experience in the dental clinic. Freshmen were allowed to an on-campus anesthesist. some patients were treated at perform minor operation,s ivhiie upp(;rcias.sm(!n iearned th(; clinic instead o being sent to (he hospital. 180 Whether working in Ihe clinic or taking a short breather, the dental student was always prepared for the arrival of his next patient. Nearly 50,000 visitors, who were mostly iocaJ area residents, came to the clinic to keep the students occupied between tests. ' f m i Annual Druid festival attracts Xi Psi Phi Social and service projects were on the agenda this year for the Xi Psi Phi dental fraternity. Lead by President Mike Couch, the 48 members sponsored the annual Druid Festival among several of their social events. Other educational and service activities included guest speakers and table clinics. The only requirement for membership in the organi- zation was dental student standing. Dr. Mansoor Jabro moderated the group, and Bob Jacobshagen and Jerry Savory acted as pledge chair- men. ¥ 182 ' Ml ' t Mf irttttrrrr WSSffItT, f f t ' Xi Psi Phi; BoUom.

John Kellen, president of the student group, said the 35 members were enthusiastic in planning various social and academic get-togethers. Other officers of the dental fraternity were Eric Wisdom, vice president; Mike Logelin, secretary and Fred Hanosh, treasurer. The fraternity, moderated by Dr. Mark J. Manhart, stressed the need to promote the science of dentistry to the outside world through academic programs which explained the facilities at the new Boyne School of Dentistry.

The students in Dr. Walter New bill of fare advertised by Pharmacy School If the School of pharmacy had a marquee in front of its tiny offices, an entirely new bill of fare would attract the wandering eye. A new building, new courses and new schedule were all on the agenda for the 74-75 school year. Dr. Robert Gerraughty, dean of the pharmacy school, saw the changes as part of adapting to the changing role of the pharmacist. The role of a pharmacist is expanding, Dr. Gerraughty said. He is becoming more important to the consumer. People won ' t set up an appointment with a doctor to ask which cough syrup is better to use, but they can ask their pharmacist, he said. As an offshoot of this new role, Creighton has started a Drug Information Center. Here, student-manned research is performed to inform professionals in the medical field on effects and usage of certain drugs. Secondly, with the completion of Criss III in 1975, the pharmacy school would have its own home. Although the facilities were badly needed. Dr. Gerraughty foresaw no drastic changes in the cur- riculum. The programs make the school, not the building, he said. A third innovation in the pharmacy school is a forbidden word in a student ' s vocabulary — year- round school. The tri-semester routine, scheduled to start with the 1974 summer session, has obvious good points, according to the dean. Students are needed during the summer because clinical settings don ' t stop then, he said. Also, with three semesters, students are more spread out over the different fields of study causing a lower faculty-student ratio. While one-third of the class is in a didactic setting, the rest of the students take turns working in the five rotation areas — hospitals, phar- macies, drug information centers, visiting nurses ' assistants and welfare agencies. The tri-semesters run 16 weeks each with a one- week break in between them. Dr. Gerraughty said. The Pharmacy program was upgraded to keep abreast of the constantly changing field of health sciences. Surveys of students and professionals in medicine showed what courses were relevant or obso- lete to modern pharmacists. Pathology was added to the curriculum while phar- macology, anatomy and physiology were given a boost with new material. With changes being implemented daily. Dr. Gerraughty is confident that the pharmacy school offers a well-rounded program for future pharmacists. Rich Potter, above, stirs his mixture whiJe he heats it on the hot piate.

Cathy Hovancsak: Pharmacy feminists add unity in voluntary action Creighton University Women in Pharmacy, a new organization on campus, stressed the importance of women in the profession. Among its many activities, the group sponsored a health professional career day for high-school women and also participated in pharmacy professional vol- ultary action. President Cathy Hovancsak said that the purpose of the group was to unify women in pharmacy toward voluntary action. Faculty advisor Ann Czerwinski helped in the organ- ization of the 12 members whose only requirement was membership in the pharmacy school. Dr. Gloor assists students in his pharmacy lab when they need help. Bui he believes that experience is the best teacher. By letting sludenfs err and start again, a lesson is learned, 188 SAPhA promot es ' over-counter drug ' philosophy Pharmacy students in SAPhA, the student branch of the National Pharmaceutical Association, were kept busy by organizing two major national conven- tions to promote the science of pharmacy. National Pharmacy Week and National Poison Con- trol Week were at the top of the list of their activities. In addition, the group worked closely with Project SPEED in arranging talks about drug abuse. Designed to acquaint the public about the hazards of drugs, the program scheduled speakers and programs on the subject. Attending and participating in the national and regional pharmacy conventions were also on the agenda for the organization. Pharmacy junior Cedric Jones, national president- elect of SAPhA, said the new pharmacy philosophy of over-the-counter drugs sales would be beneficial to the customer because the pharmacist would be better able to explain what the drug contained, how to use it and what effect it might have on the patient. It is a more personal approach to pharmacist-cus- tomer relations, he said. Pharmacy junior Terry Cimino was the presi- dent of Creighton ' s chapter with Walter Gloor as moderator. SAPhA also sponsored several pharmacy school parties among their other social events to keep in close contact with the small pharmacy family.

Other activities during the year included tutoring and induction of the group ' s new members in the spring. Only nine members in the organization, they were chosen on the basis of high academic standing and involvement in extracurricular activities. Dr. Edwin Scheuer moderated the club whose pur- pose was to reward outstanding achievement and inspire students to become involved in the pharmacy profession. Actor Godfrey Cambridge expressed the same belie against drugs as Rho Chi and the pharmacy school. Drugs, used in the right dosage are helpful; otherwise, they can destroy.

Sopho- mores Judy Dietz and Colleen Dowd receive their caps from senior Barb Scrable and junior Kalhy Reinsch. Seniors Kathy Jones and Joan Wil- liams at right award caps to sophs Marcia Konczy and Eugenia Klikner. 192 White cap symbolizes first big nursing step When a student nurse receives her own white cap, she has accompUshed her first big step in her nursing career. This year, 76 nursing sophomores received the traditional white cap, which was adopted by Creigh- ton in 1969 to distinguish CU alumni from other schools. Approximately 500 parents, students and friends attended the ceremony at St. John ' s Church in late October. Nursing senior Maureen Kuffel shared a poem with her newly-capped under -classmates on the life of a student nurse. A student nurse is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in starched skirts, energy that is endless . . . Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass ... or steps on a doctor ' s foot. Sophomore Molly Malone told the audience, What capping means to us , and the Rev. Grerald Fitzgibbon, S.J., gave the welcoming blessing. Prior to the ceremony, the sophomores selected or were appointed an upperclassman as a big sister who presented the girls with their caps. 193 Nursing Senate — link between students, faculty The Nursing Senate kept active this year with coor- dinating the many activities of the College of Nursing and serving as a link between the students and the faculty. Elected by other members of their school, these 14, headed by Reyne Choyeske and moderated by Diane Dodendorf, had quite a few jobs. These included organizing the capping ceremony, promoting student involvement in the Red Cross and acting as representatives on faculty committees deal- ing with curriculum revisions and policies. Socially, the Nursing Senate sponsored several keg- gers as well as the Senior Brunch and the Spring Din- ner Dance.

Ken Watts, a former Creighton student, now working for an Arkansas television station was the first stu- dent-editor of Black Realities. In January, 1973, Glenn Reedus became managing editor. The paper was basically run on the same format, featuring community and Black Creighton students ' news. A change in the masthead and more Creighton news were two new features in the newspaper during the ' 72 school year. Special monthly columns informing the community on Education and Social Casework, a community calendar of cultural events, a page honor- ing all graduating Black seniors and a people ' s ad section were added during the ' 73- ' 74 school year. Reedus said that because there was more national student involvement and drives toward Black Aware- ness , Black Realities was easier to publish and gain the interest of all students in ' 71 than it is now. The Black Realities staff included Reedus, managing editor Derrick Hillery, ass ' t. managing editor; LeRoy Brashears, copy editor; Henry Bailey, staff artist; Margaret Hoover and Dye Ann Griffith, graphics; Linda Palmer and Cardella Baggett, staff typists; Jonny Perkins, sports; and Gerald Francis, circulation. Although Glenn Reedus, editor of Black Realities, found his job demanding, he couJd always find time to chat with Board presi- dent Sonnv Foster and Danita Harth. 197 Sports director Vince Grosso gives the play-by-play of (he Blue ay home game ivhile John Svveenev checks the half-time statistics.

Making the station more appealing to student interest was a major goal of the staff. 198 CU student radio station reorganizes programs An increase of broadcasting hours, news reporting, sports coverage and more records played per hour were all improvements made at KOCU, the student radio station during the year. Station general manager Jim Ludlam, Arts junior, called the improvements internal reorganizations of the station. In the first semester, the broadcast hours were increased. The station operated from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Friday. However, due to a heavier class load, the hours were reduced the second semester, according to Heather Mason, station moderator. Relocation of KOCU after the removal of Wareham Hall was a major concern. Faulty and dated equip- ment and a diminishing budget were also major head- aches for the student executive staff. Dispite the hardships, KOCU developed into a strong campus rock station. The staff performed vari- ous activities throughout the year including broad- casts from the quad and the Fine Arts building. They challenged the KRCB disc jockeys in a basketball game during half time at the Bluejay victory over St. John in Jamuary. KOCU also broadcast Christmas fantasia from the Student Center.

Contro- versies including the Gay Liberation movement and the abortion question were also researched by the student newspaper. The paper took on a new look with the ' 73- ' 74 editors. Sandy Goetzinger, first semester editor, appointed an editorial board to write unsigned staff opinions in the paper instead of the weekly editorial comment by the managing editor as in previous years. Goetzinger also took on the auspicious job of pasting up the paper on the last issue. Regularly done by the printer, this job involves pasting each piece of typed copy in the exact spot that it will appear on the page in the paper. Second semester editor Cindy Murphy changed the printing type used in the paper and drew up a new design for the name flag to update its looks. Murphy also implemented the new style of horizontal layouts which allows stories to continue across the page instead of running in long, grey columns down to the bottom. Picture pages were used widely in the issues, which ran an average of 12 pages in length. Readership surveys were made by the staff to check the effect of the paper on the students. Murphy said First semester editor Sandy Goetzinger spent long hours pouring over basic reporters ' copy to check for errors. the information was used to improve news coverage in the paper and to get ideas on what types of stories interested the majority of the readers. The size of the staff grew from 15 in the first semester to 21 in the second half of the year. An increase of journalism majors and the decision to offer more journalism classes to second-semester freshmen af- fected the number. The latter made more sophomores eligible for editorial position. Moderated by Dr. David Haberman, the paper was published 13 times each semester.

Ten years later, vivid memories of 1974 will have turned to dim recol- lections. However, one source will remain untouched by time ' s forgetfulness. The Bluejay, gathering dust on a shelf, will still hold the pictures of semi -forgotten moments. Remem- ber the pie contest at the frosh picnic or Creighton ' s dazzling basketball victory over Marquette? Or the time you skipped class to go to the Lichtenstein Circus only to be caught by the undeceiving eye of the photographer? It ' s all here in this book, unchanged. The ' 74 Blue Jay staff attempted to show the change on CU ' s campus visually in new buildings, academi- cally in revised curriculum and socially in more events and campus activities. Also, to keep in touch with the outside world, such problems as the energy crisis, job situation and Omaha affairs were traced to illustrate the campus involvement in national and civic questions. Confronted with a budget decrease from the Student Board of Governors, who finance the yearbook, the Bluejay was forced to delete all color photos from its 352 pages. The price was raised $1 to meet the rest of the $1,500 budget cut. Sales for the book were down despite the all-out effort of advertising manager Herb Hamas and Delta Chi fraternity, who sold the books.

In previous action, the Sooners defeated San Diego State and the Bluejays took the Air Force to reach the championship game. A crowd of 5,900 saw the Jays jump to an early four-point lead at 12-8. That same crowd also sat quietly through the last 15 minutes of the first half as the Sooners at one time scored 17 straight points and lead at half 42-43. The second half found the Jays pressing the Sooners full court. The press combined with better shooting brought the Jays back into the game. The Jays closed the gap to two, but blew their chance for a tie and possible an overtime when Ralph Bobik threw the ball away with only 20 seconds left to play, thus ending the come-from-behind victory hopes. The tournament was held for the benefit of the Omaha Big Brothers. Jays greet the crowd ' s cheers as they are introduced at the start of the Cage Classic.

Would 1973-74 be the year that the Bluejays made it to a post-season tournament? The Jays started out hot, winning the season opener over Regis by a 92-38 margin, the Jays were on their way. South Dakota St. 95-68 and the Air Force Academy 55-42 were the next two Jay victims. The Jays owned a 3-0 record and a chance to win their own tournament with a victory over OkleJioma in the Cage Classic Final. The Big Eight team proved too much for the Jays, as the Sooners owned a 19 point lead at the half. The Jays made a battle of it in the second half, closing to within one before losing by three, 73-70. Finals week approached and the Jays were too busy taking tests to worry about St. Francis (Pa. ) St. Francis slipped into town and out again with a 73-58 victory before the Jays knew what happened. Students left for home, leaving the Jays to face eight opponents over Christmas break, alone. The Jays were 3-2 and they hadn ' t been on a road trip yet.

BYU had defeated the Jays two years ago, but the Jays were determined not to let it happen again. It didn ' t as we took a 99-86 victory. The first road trip of the year saw Creighton dump Augustana 68-49. They then travelled to Colorado to face the Buffs of Colorado University. Although the game was close, the Jays came out on the losing end of a 73-68 decision and returned to Omaha with a 5-3 record, hardly an impressive start. The Drake Bulldogs rolled into town, expecting to trounce the Jays again this year. The Bulldogs pulled off an 83-70 win at Drake last year. It was different this year, as the Jays moved into a zone defense for the first time and whipped Drake 75-53. Duquesne and Lionel ' Big Train ' Billingy arrived in town to try and derail the Bluejays express. Billingy had missed most of the season due to injury, but was fired and ready when the Dukes hit the Auditorium floor. Battling from behind, the Jays finally managed to edge out a six-point win at 76-61. This win felt good to the Jays who were trounced by 35 by the Dukes in Pittsburg last year. St. Thomas was next, but all eyes were on the big game at Marquette the following weekend. St. Thomas had the only person that the Jays seven- footer Mike Heck could look up to. Bob Rosier, the 7-3 center for the Toms, was a tall obstacle in the path of the Bluejay express. The Toms rated number one in the NCAA Division II suffered their worst defeat in 12 years, as the Jays destroyed them 81-47. That win was the first of six in a row for the Jays and was the start of a move toward a tournament bid. San Diego State was the next victim at 79-61. It was back on the road for two tough games. Butler was an easy win at 75-58. Southern Illinois was next, and after last year the Jays expected a tough battle. The Salukis were off , while the Jays were hot and arrived back at the Civic Auditorium with a 75-60 win and a 9-3 record. Students returned to school in time to see the Jays slip by 20th ranked Dayton, 69-62. Following Dayton, it was back on the road for two games. The Jays needed at least a split to stay in con- tention for a post season bid. They clipped Wichita St. 65-63 on a last second shot by Ted Wuebben. Arizona State slammed the Jays 77-64, but the Jays were still in the thick of it. Bradley arrived in Omaha, and was quickly elim- inated 79-53. The Jays owned a 12-4 season mark. 211 Duquesne dumped as Jays win six straight games Before opening a four game stand, the Jays flew to another Missouri Valley town to play St. Louis. Battling for the Valley crown, St. Louis was a gallant opponent succumbing 60-54. Winter Fest saw a rematch of the Jays-Salukis ' , this time on the Jays ' home court. Happy Creighton students felt secure that there would be another easy victory. This was not the case. The Salukis ' outstanding center Joe Meriweather decided to do his stuff, and his stuff was scoring 18 points and pulling in 16 rebounds. This wasn ' t enough though, as the Jays pulled out a 67-64 squeaker. The win upped the Jays to 14-4. Tournament talk was heard around campus. St. Cloud State, not one of the Jays tougher oppo- nents entered the Civic and became the 15th Jay victim at 82-54. The win made the Jays 17-4 and gave them their sixth victory in a row. That was a good sendoff, as the Jays travelled to Milwaukee, Wise, to face the rough and tough Warriors of Marquette University. A win here would almost assure the Jays of a NCAA Tournament bid. 212 I i,tl Junior guard Tom Anderson, beJoiv, launches senior frio, Gene Harmon, Ralph Bobik and a jumper against Southern IJIinois.

The Creighton University Bluejays traveled to Mil- waukee, Wise, to face their arch-rival Marquette University. The Warriors of Marquette had a nine year hex over Creighton, since the last time the Jays beat the War- riors was in 1963. The Jays were faced with beating the Warriors at home, a feat that had been done only once before in 100 games. The Jays using both a zone and a man-to-nian de- fense kept the Warriors outside and off the boards, something that had to be done in order for the Jays to win. Using their man-to-man offense, Creighton con- tinually hit the open man underneath for the easy layup. This combined with poor outside shooting by Marquette, enabled the Jays to upset the sixth-ranked Warriors 75-69. The win, only the second in 101 games for an invad- ing team, brought the Bluejays record to 18-4 and almost assured them a NCAA playoff berth. The win also moved the Jays into the National spotlight, as the Associated Press (AP) ranked the Jays 17 in the country.

Jays split in Hawaii, lose to South Carolina The Bluejays returned to the Civic Auditorium on March ll for a game with St. John ' s of Minnesota. The Johnnies were out to knock off the Jays, who were still on cloud nine following the Marquette win. The Jays got off that cloud and whipped the invaders from the north by a score of 81-43. The team enjoyed eight days off before the Jays travelled to the west coast and then on to Hawaii. California-Irvine was the first west coast stop. The Jays, playing across the street from Disneyland, didn ' t play around with California and collected a 31 point victory 83-52 and upped their record to 20-4. California-Irvine was the first west coast stop. The Jays, playing across the street from Disneyland, didn ' t play around with California and collected a 31 point victory 83-52 and upped their record to 20-4. The biggest trip of the year was coming up, as the Jays prepared to meet the University of Hawaii in a two game set. The Rainbows had the same reputation as Mar- quette; they were tough to beat at home. If the Jays could win one game from the Rainbows, it was felt that they would be a shoe-in for that elusive NCAA playoff spot The Bluejays in game one, played good basketball and came away with an impressive 63-59 opening game win. Game two was a little less than happy, as the Jays blew a chance to win with eight seconds left, and had to settle for a 61-60 loss and a 21-5 record. A practice game with the Sea Bees gave the Jay reserves a chance to play, and they edged out a 72-69 win. February 28, four days before the final regular season game, Bluejay Coach Eddie Sutton announced that the Jays had been invited to play in the NCAA Midwest pre-regional in Denton, Tex. March 9. Possibly thinking ahead, the Jays were defeated by Brian Winters and South Carolina 76-67. The regular season was over, but the Jays still had the NCAA playoffs ahead of them. 217 Richie Smith, beJovv, puts pressure on Texas guard Harry Larrahee. Mike Heck, right, sets up in the low post.

Jays flip Texas 77-61 in IVIidwest warmup March 9, 1974 — The place, Denton, Texas and the Super Pit on the campus of North Texas State Univer- sity. The event, the NCAA Pre-Regionals. The Bluejays, in the NCAA for the first time since 1964, were paired against the Southwest Conference (SWC) Champion, Texas. The Jays entered the game with a season ' s record of 20-6, while Texas had but a 12-14 slate. The Longhorns had lost 11 of their first 12 games, before getting on track in the SWC and edging out North Texas State for the title. Creighton, dormant for the first 28 minutes of action, looked as though the playoffs would be over even before they got out of the pre-regionals. The heat in the Super Pit could have been a factor for the lackluster play. The heat bothered Texas more than it did Creighton, as the Jays came alive with about 12 minutes remaining. For the final 12 minutes, the game belonged to the Jays. They ran their offense with great accuracy and tallied numerous layups off the one game. Doug Brookins, Ralph Bobik and Gene Harmon also hit the boards hard, and held the Texans to just one shot, while giving Creighton a second and sometimes even a third attempt at the basket. The Jays slowly started to pull away from the Longhorns, as the Longhorns just ran out of gas. The Jays continually applied the pressure and came away with a 77-61 decision and a trip the following week to Tulsa, Okla. and the Midwest Regionals. 219 Junior ' Big Man ' Doug Brookins, beioiv, gets the ball off the hoard and out to Ted Wuebben to trigger the BJuejay fast break.

The Creighton University Bluejays took on Big Eight Champion Kansas in the first round of the Midwest Regionals. The Jays started out like they would win easily, except that turnovers, early in the first half, allowed Kansas to stay close and trail by only three 33-30 at the half The second half was played almost even, as Kansas ' Rick Suttle and Creighton ' s Doug Brookins battled it out on the boards, while Gene Harmon and Roger Morningstar gunned it out from the perimeter. Although Kansas played a man-to-man defense, the Jays were unable to get the easy layups as they did against Marquette and Texas. The Jays were forced to hit from outside, and Brookins and Harmon responded to the challenge. Turnovers again hurt the Jays, as they failed to hold onto a six point lead. The final turnover hurt the most. Gene Hamon inbounded a pass that was stolen by Tommy Smith and laid in for an easy two. The Jays had a chance to win, but Harmon missed an off-balance shot from the corner and the Jayhawks rebounded and stalled out the clock. The 55-54 victory gave the Jayhawks the right to meet Oral Roberts in the finals. The Jays loss meant they could finish no higher than third place in the Midwest. Two days after their one point loss to Kansas, the Bluejays took the floor for the last time in 1974, when they faced the University of Louisville in the consola- tion game of the NCAA Midwest Regionals. The Jays, playing good ball as they had done all year, hit the open man underneath and got great outside scoring from junior Doug Brookins and edged the Cardinals 80-71 for a third place finish in the Midwest. The seniors Ralph Bobik, Gene Harmon, Jerry Massie, Ted Wuebben, Bimbo Pietro and Richie Smith had played their last game in a Bluejay uniform. Harmon had been named as an Honorable Men- tion to the Associated Press (AP) All-American Team. The year of the Bluejay had come to an end with a final record of 23-7, the best record in Creighton ' s history. The ' Maybe next season ' year had finally come. Now fans could look forward to doing it again in ' 74-75. Ralph Bobik, left, crashes into ]ayhawk Roger Morningstar en- route to an easy two. Bobik also got the free throw, but the Jays lost a heartbreaker, 55-54. 221 Eddie Sutton resigns, coaches Arkansas next The Eddie Sutton era came to a close Wednesday, March 27, when he resigned as Creighton ' s head coach and athletic director. Twenty -four hours after Sutton ' s resignation had been accepted by the Athletic Board, the group had found an able replacement in Coach Tom Apke, who had been with the team for six seasons. Coach Tom Brosnihan was chosen to remain as Apke ' s assistant coach. Sutton ' s five year record at Creighton totaled 83 wins and 50 losses. He also got this year ' s team to the NCAA Playoffs and a third place finish in the Mid- west Regionals. Sutton ' s home next year will be Arkansas University, where he will take over a sagging basketball program. The Razorbacks have challenged for the Southwest Conference (SWC) title only occasionally in the past 15 years. Sutton will be the highest paid basketball coach in the SWC according to Arkansas Athletic Di- rector Frank Broyles. Sutton leaves after seeing his first recruits reach the NCAA and graduate here at the Hilltop. Creighton ' s schedule and travelling trips are far better than the Razorback ' s, but Arkansas offered Sut- ton a deal he just couldn ' t turn down. A brief pep talk from the coaches was all the Jays needed to get back into the swing of the game.

The Junior Jays, under the direction of new fresh- man Coach Tom Brosnihan and assistants Al Lewis and Claude Brinson, compiled an 8-6 record. Cornell Smith, Bob Scrutchens, Russ Bland, Mike Moore and Andy Sottosanti were supposed to be the basis for another good freshman team. However, Smith was moved up to the varsity and Moore and Sottosanti left school after their first semes- ter, leaving the Junior Jays undermanned with only six players. With tough games against Drake and Platte Junior College, it was decided that the freshman team would be turned into a junior varsity (JV) squad. Sophomores Daryl Heeke and Brian Long played in more than half the scheduled games. Long and Heeke continued to practice and travel with the var- sity, but collected valuable playing time on the JV squad. Smith already has been tabbed as a superstar to come. Scrutchens could give the varsity help next year as a backcourt reserve and Russ Bland has the much needed muscle to handle the boards. There could be an overload of players on the varsity next year. If there is, Creighton could possibly see another JV squad. 225 OraJ Roberts baserunner loses cap trying to beat out hit to the infield as Ron Thornam stretches to take throw which nipped base- runner.

All-Americans, hoped to improve on last year ' s 25-16 record, and again make it into the NCAA playoffs. The Jays last year earned a berth in the District 5 Regional of the NCAA College World Series Playoffs. Coach Baker hoped to visit the playoffs again, and to advance further than last year. The Bluejays starting infield of Ron Thornam (IB), Steve Vogel (2B), and Ron Williams (3B), remained intact. The open spot was filled by J.C. Ail-American shortstop Denis Froehlich. John Forrey was the only returning starting outfield- er. Baker expected the other J.C. All-American Bob Leise to fill one of the spots, while the third was up for grabs. Returning to the Jays following a year ' s absence was Ralph Bobik. Bobik the 6-7 eager hit .333 in his sophomore year. He is expected to be the designated hitter, but could possibly see fulltime action. The pitching staff is solid with returnees Rick Dominik, Randy Hill, Gerald Johnette, Gary McCabe, Jim Roach and Ernie Rongish. Those six pitchers combined for 19 of the Jays 25 wins last year. The Jays have a new home this year, the William F. Booth College World Series Park on 24th and Center Streets. This field was only a mile from campus, and should help increase the size of crowds at the Blue- jay games.

A total 67 teams signed up to play this year, meaning 670 male students played intramural basketball. A new Intramural Director Jerry Bartre took over the reins and intramurals took on a new look. Instead of playing on the big court and in the upper gym, the men were forced to play on the inferior side courts that run north and south. This created the dan- gerous situation of having two games being played at the same time, right next to each other. This situation was forced, because the women claimed the upper gym as private property. Comparing eight women ' s intramural teams to 67 for the guy ' s it seemed totally unfair. As tournment time neared, a new team in the league, the Blackhawks, held down the number one spot in the university. The Blackhawks had former Bluejays John Taylor and Al Lewis on the court to go along with other very good players, thus making the Blackhawks the next best thing to N.C. State. Last year ' s champs Moss Co. (now Buckwheat) were ranked only third in the university. The SAE I ' s held down second place and were con- sidered the best bet to knock off the Blackhawks.

The girl ' s had only an eight team league this year compared to 11 last year. The girl ' s were allowed to have intercollegiate bas- ketball players on their squad, but only two per team were allowed on the court at the same time. With the arrival of Meta Johnson and Eddye Mc- Clure, the upper gym was confiscated for the women only, between the hours of 6 and 10 p.m. The reason was to allow the girl ' s teams to practice at their convenience, plus the playing of the intramural games. Due to the girl ' s complaining about the incompetence of the male refs last year, Johnson began using the Women ' s Intercollegiate basketball players to ref the games. Bobik ' s Babes, the pre-season favorite to win the league, were well ahead of the rest of the league as tournament time approached. Other teams in contention for the Babes title were the Court Jesters, CUASA and Chi Delphia.

All-Tournament player Kathy Boukal, V L Womens athletes compete in IC volleyball, Softball Meta Johnson and Eddye McClure were two names that changed the lives of many Creighton coeds the past year. Johnson and McClure were hired by the Athletic Department to start a well-rounded Women ' s Inter- collegiate sports program. First on the list was a Women ' s Volleyball Team. The team, coached by Johnson, ended its season with only a 5-12 record, but the entire team will be return- ing next year. The girl ' s played their home games in the Hilltop Gym and travelled to Doane, St. Mary and Concordia. The Bluejays weren ' t the only basketball team on campus this year as the Lady Jays made their appear- ance on the scene. The Lady Jays, under the direction of Eddye McClure, compiled a 9-5 regular season record. They then travelled to Fremont, Nebr. for the Women ' s College Basketball Tournament. They took the opening game against Chadron State 52-27, then lost to a much taller University of Nebraska at Lin- coln squad 59-38. Peru State was a 59-26 victim, placing the Jays in a battle with University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) for a shot at fifth place. UNO nipped the Lady Jays 39-35, thus handing them a seventh place finish ' n their first year. Junior Kathy Boukal was named to the All-Tourna- ment Team along with seven other players. This year ' s stars, including Boukal, Jackie Roh, Mary Lynn Thomas and Joan Kepros, will return next year, as the Lady Jays look forward to another fine season.

The girl ' s under the coaching of Meta Johnson fin- ished with a 2-2 record. They went to the State Meet and finished fourth. Two CU swimmers placed in the meet. Julie Bard finished fourth in the 50 meter breast stroke and fifth in the 100 meter breast stroke. Colleen Werve finished fifth in the 50 meter fly. All swimmers except Ellen Sheridan will return next year. Johnson said, We ' ll have at least two meets with each of the four schools. The Women ' s Intercollegiate Softball Team also had a new coach in Eddye McClure. The girl ' s hoped to improve on last year ' s 4-6 record. The team had scheduled 15 games this year and their home field was Dill Field, near Benson Park. Last year ' s stalworths Jackie Roh, Pam Lenhard, Kathy Boukal, Debbie Giddings, Mary Lynn Thomas, Linda Schoenstedt and Rosemary Wedemeyer will be in uniform to form the nucleus of the second year team.

The ' Icebirds ' no longer had to play at ice cold Ben- son Arena. Instead they played all their home games at the warm and comfortable 5,000 seat Ak-Sar-Ben Arena. Although starting times had to be moved to 10:30 p.m. due to open skating, the hockey team was not dismayed by the late starting times and sparse crowds. Team members no longer had to put out their own money to practice and rent the Arena. They were allotted money by both the Student Board of Governors and the Athletic Department. This year ' s team compiled a 3-8-1 record, but played tougher competition than last year ' s squad. The ' Icebirds ' took a step toward looking like a team, as they acquired both uniforms and a coach at the beginning of the year. Law Student Steve Archbold became the coach, but even a coach couldn ' t improve upon last year ' s record. The team played the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln twice, and a team from Dort College, Canada. They also played Drake on a home and home basis. Creighton ' s Jim Sweeney, above, heads toward the Drake goal.

Creighton ' s women ' s team picked up the first place trophy in the Brookings, S.D. match. According to Sgt. Larry, contestants shoot half of the national match in each competition. The four member teams shoot at two targets in the three different posi- tions-prone, kneeling and standing. The four highest shooters out of all of the teams are declared top winners. The match points are tallied and the team with the most overall points receives the trophy. Sgt. Larry said women were more interested in the sport this year than men. At the beginning of the year, there were only three colleges that Creighton competed with that had a woman ' s team. But, by the second semes- ter, all had raised a ladies ' team, he said. The CLJ Rifle team hosted a bout in late November in the gym in which UNL ' s team took home the first place trophy. Creighton marksmen competed in several regional matches throughout the year. The three positions — prone, kneeiing and standing — were emphasized in the contests. 240 Injuries caused demise in fall rugby record Creighton ' s rougher version of football known as rugby, provided hard-nosed action for students this fall. The Creighton Rugby Club once again provided free beer to fans and numerous students enjoyed the games. The Club in its second full year, comprised a fall record of 4-6. This mark was considerably lower than last springs 7-1 record. The reason for the decline was injuries, according to senior squad member Mark Thomhill. Three key players were out most of the season and the squad was never able to keep up. Games were played at Brownell in the fall, but were played exclusively at Tech this spring. Highlight of the fall season was the Kansas City Rugby Tournament. The Jays were eliminated by Aspen. Only three members remain from the original club, Mark Thornhill, Tom Collins, and George Heaston. These three were the nucleus of the team and a source of instruction to seven freshmen ruggers. Heaston missed all but two games last year with a bad back, while Thornhill was out half the year with a separated shoulder. Both were healthy and ready for the spring season. Highlighting the spring schedule were Kansas University, Kansas State, Nebraska and Iowa State. The full schedule will have the ruggers playing 12 games.

M Tiny swimming ballerinas dance to music in CU pool Every afternoon Creighton ' s gymnasium comes alive to the music of dancing ballerinas as they per- form their water ballet in the otherwise quiet swim- ming pool. The Naiads, ranging in age from 9-17, perform water ballet routines to the accompaniment of clas- sical music. The Rev. Bernard J. Hasbrouk, S.J., the moderator, has coached the squad since 1967 when it began. He said it started out as solely a swimming team for daughters of the faculty. It has since evolved into an open group for Omaha area students. Members practice between 9 and 14 hours a week and compete once a month during the winter and spring. The competitions include solo, duet and team routines. Synchronized swimming is a combination of gym- nastics and water ballet. Father Hasbrouck explained. a © ' « ; Practice makes perfect as the girls take turns diving from the board. Just the right balance is needed to perfect the rigid, but relaxed, diving form.

' s in one-day tournament Arts sophomore Joyce Schramm had two homers and five runs batted in, but it was not enough as Kiewit II edged the W.I.P. ' s 15-11 for the Women ' s Intramural Softball Championship in late October. Inclement weather forced the season to be condensed into a one-day tournament at Adam ' s Park. Four teams participated in the tournament. CUASA faced Kiewit II and Plum Rum went against the W.I.P. ' s in the preliminary games. Schramm and Arts junior Jackie Roh led the W.I.P. ' s past Plum Rum in Five innings, 20-6. CUASA went down 23-11 at the hands of Kiewit II with Arts sophomores Paula Thyfault and Jean Bromert leading the attack. The championship game had more defense than usual as Kiewit pitcher Bromert exhibited fine fielding as well as good pitching. Kiewit II members were presented trophies after the game by Assistant Women ' s Intramural Director Eddye McClure. This year, women officiated at the games. McClure explained that last year the players complained about many calls made by the men umpires and referees. Charges of male chauvenism were thrown at them by the players. By having other women act as the deci- sion-makers, this type of dissension was eliminated, McClure said. ' M firA ii WIP ' s catcher Margie Rau and pitchers Jackie Roh, above, field a hunt.

Also for the second year in a row there was another IM director in charge. This year the IM program was under the directorship of Jerry Bartee. Bartee, a native of Omaha, is presently a graduate student at Creighton. Games again were played only at Adams Park. Softball was once again well supported as 24 teams entered the slow-pitch category. Four teams were entered in fast-pitch, but due to inclement weather the fast-pitch season was post- poned till spring. Three slow-pitch leagues were formed from the 24 teams entered. Each league winner was awarded a trophy and along with the next three finishes in each league were placed into a single elimination tourna- ment for the All-University Trophy. Basketball stars Ralph Bobik and Richie Smith lead the Senior Strokers (formerly Bobik ' s Team) to their second straight slow-pitch crown. The Strokers defeated the Phi Psi I ' s 13-6 and wound up with a two year record of 22-0 and two championships. 249 The Delta Sig ' s celebrate (right] after they defeated the Phi Psi ' s 25-20 for the championship.

The Sig ' s and the Phi Psi ' s perenninal playoff teams battled each other for close to an hour before the Sig ' s came out on top 25-20. The Sig ' s racked up 549 points to their opponents 49 this year, and they extended their two-year record to 20-0 and captured their second consecutive championship. Except for the first week of the season when it rained constantly, the IM football season proceeded without a hitch. The Athletic Department and Jerry Bartee in particular should be commended on a job weU done. An Indian summer helped greatly as each team was able to play an entire schedule of games before entering the playoffs. All games were again played at Adams Park, where four fields were set up so that a maximum number of games could be played in the shortest time. Division winners were awarded trophies alid went into a single elimination tournament along with the second place teams. If 251 y. t irt ij «s««r i j : •j:.q::. , L Administration University president stresses personal approach Making Creighton ' s facilit ies more attractive to student life and arresting the dropout rate were the big- gest difficulties facing the administration this year, according to the Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, S.J., university president. In an effort to remedy the second problem, the Rev. John D. Cuddigan, S.J., was appointed to head a committee to see why students leave Creighton before graduation and recommend solutions to the problem. Fr. Labaj said that he hoped this will help Creighton adapt to a constantly changing world. The university president also wrote a paper, entitled Working Paper on Goals and Priorities, as the basis of a continuing program to help in this adaptation. It was not an ultimatum, but he said he wanted to start the faculty thinking about several changes he had in mind for the future. You teach by what you say and what you are, Father Labaj said. It ' s time the faculty take a more personal approach in their teaching and that students take advantage of what they can learn from these adults. With this emphasis on the humanities and teaching by attitude, he continued, it is hoped that students will come to a greater appreciation of the dignity of the individual and will not forget that humans are respon- sible for all the technological progress around them. Father Labaj also felt that more interdisciplinary team-taught courses are needed for integration of sub- ject matter into real life experiences. In addition, he said he wants to see the strong points in the graduate school emphasized, the improvement of undergraduate schools and re-evaluation of the teaching fellow program to see if they ' re doing the job that they ' re supposed to do. Riunors that Creighton would one day become just the professional schools was answered with opposition from Father Labaj. A strong liberal arts program is the humanizing influence of any university, he said. The last of the university president ' s suggestions was a re-emphasis of the Jesuit foundations of this institution that as humans, we use matter in such a way as to give glory to God. Students choose this atmosphere when they come to Creighton, Catholic or not, that this is the rock on which we are built. What makes a good cook, bis talent or his perserverence? Father Labaj shows a little of both, right, when he attempts to make the perfect cookie. 254 Helping Creighton adapt to a constantly changing world was a major goal of the president of the university. Father Labaj wanted a more persona , one-to-one communication with students. Inter disciplinary team-taught courses would bridge the gap between academic and social life on campus.

V.P. for Academic Affairs Building plans include new student rec center The Rev. Donald MacLean, S.J., new vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculties, sees great promise in Creigh ton ' s future. High on his list of priorities is the planning and building of a student recreational center to get students more attuned to physical exercise. Prior to taking the post, which was vacated by the death of the Rev. Clement Schneider, S.J., Father MacLean was associate professor of chemistry at Boston College in Mass. With his many responsibilities that are included in his new post, Father MacLean has little free time for day dreaming. But when he does, the needs of the stu- dents £ire at the top of his list.

SBG president dreams of future senatorial post Going from Student Board president to state senator isn ' t such a drastic step, according to Arts senior Jo- seph (Sonny) Foster, who announced his candidacy for state senator in early January. This is the first attempt by a black for the Eighth district office, excluding Senator Earnest Chamber ' s Eleventh district. Chuckholes in the street and taxes hit both blacks and whites, Foster said. It ' s about time blacks go for neighborhood representation with the ' know-who-the- hell-is-responsible-to-me ' type of government. After holding the semi-rewarding, semi-dishearten- ing office of S.B.G. president, Foster felt he accom- plished many things during his year in office. He said the new vice presidential system caused a much better graduate school representation. Also, be- cause of the higher drop-out rate, the administration was more willing to allocate funds to get things done. In addition, Foster said the multi-purpose center and the rathscellar were given a boost towards being accomplished. The university also agreed to pick up half the tab of the faculty evaluation bill and to insist on faculty compliance with the survey. Along with student input on rank and tenure, the students also gained a foothold in the budget prepara- tions this year. Foster ' s idea of a kiosk — a roofed pair of sign- boards — would solve the problem of jumbled bulletin boards throughout the campus . Now , the boards are over- burdened with unnecessary and gawdy signs, he said. Each sign on the kiosk would be a standard size and the end the confusion. Although the year was fruitful, it was not a bed of roses for the first black president. Foster cited the cam- pus newspaper as one problem that he encoimtered It is imfortunate that the Creightonian and the Student Board should be at odds, he said. The report- ers are often so close to the issues that they are some- times not as objective as they should be. Foster was referring to an issue early in the year when one staff member accused the Board of developing an interesting procedure for naming students to special committees. The candidates are not notified of their nominations, and in one outstanding instance, not even aware of an actual appointment, the editorial stated. The Student Board president replied that the prob- lem itself was a misunderstanding of the minutes of the meeting and Parliamentary procedures. The Board is sensitive to public opinion, he said. Criticism without solution is resented when the Board members are trying. Unlike previous years, students seemed more re- sponsive to lectures and campus activities, Foster said. But many still bombarded the Student Board office in the Brandeis Student Center with requests for big- name groups. Foster explained that the big bands are out of Creigh- ton ' s price range. Their price could only be met by raising the activity fee to $30 or by calling for a refer- endum to have the university corporation vote to make part-time students pay activity fees, he ex- plained. Whether a disappointment or an accomplishment, the presidency has had quite an effect on Foster ' s social life. Young ladies like attention and with 40-50 hours a week in the Board office, I didn ' t have time for it, he said. With politics in his future, there appears no relief in sight. 259 Fred Rotsu;m, pharmacy junior, lislcns a tcn ivelv, at riglit, lu (lie proposed budget plan.

New buildings dotted the campus grounds. Old buildings were being renovated. But there were many other changes too. The Student Board of Governors was one of these. Accusations of apathy were things of the past. There were still some who were either opposed or indifferent toward Board activities, but most students responded favorably to the new faces on the Board. With the new system of vice presidential represen- tatives, students felt that the Board was better pre- pared to fit their needs. With students from each school in high positions of authority on the Board, there was a better chance to get motions from individual schools passed. The Board made the first move for better-planned events and activities in the first week of school. Wel- come Week, which has been a disaster in the past, introduced students to what would prove to be a very productive year. Jammed with picnics, outdoor con- certs and dances, Welcome Week, which was planned by Arts senior Jan Pellitier, saved the Board $1,000. Friday night beer blasts, all-university keggers and guest singers were in abundance this year. Stu- dents had a choice to either rock out to the blues concerts or to loosen up at a Polka party. A United Appeal kegger was held to raise money for the United cause. Money from student tickets and contributions totaled approximately $1,000. But the year was not all beer blasts and sock hops. The Student Board once again put their heads together in an effort to draw up a rath skellar bill that might pass the Nebraska legislature. Students were appointed to the Rank and Tenure and Tuition committees. A proposal to expand interim break to mid-February due to the energy crisis was examined and vetoed by the Board. The faculty evaluation questionnaire was again changed, but this time improvements were visible. Only one item hinted at past performances. As an annual event, just as predictable as Christmas and New Years, the school directories were over a month late. This time, however, there was a reasonable explanation. Business senior Greg Schwietz, who was in charge of compiling the information, explained that this year a new technique had been used to list the data. A computer was used for the first time. He said it took more time to punch new cards, but in future it will bring the delivery date back one month. Changes, innovations, first steps were all a part of the Board of 1974. While Creighton surged ahead with new facilities and better teaching methods, the Board kept moving to meet the needs of the students it served. 261 Board of Directors tackles C.U. ' s financial woes People tend to fear and misinterpret what they don ' t know and understand. So goes the story behind the gulf between students and the 26-member Board of Directors. Students often view the Board as outsiders whose sole purpose for existence is to raise tuition. What they overlook is that although tuition is raised, many long hours of mind-wracking study precedes each decision by the Board. Composed of persons in high ranking offices of major Omaha companies and five Jesuits fi ' om the University, the Board governs the financial aspects of Creighton and bows to the Administration on opera- tional issues at the school. According to Father Labaj ' s office. Board members are elected for four-year terms and can serve on the Board until the age of 70. The Board members, in turn, elect a chairman from the group. He also serves a four- year term. In his sixth year as Chairman of the Board, Mr. A. F. Jacobson is also the director of Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. He was elected to the post in 1968 and again in 1972. ' i As all Board members will proclaim, meetings can last for many tedious hours. But if (he end results are good ones, the headaches were worth it. The Rev. Leonard Waters, right, speaks with James Moore during a brief pause in the proceedings. 262 The Rev.

Reniert, enjoy their job of public Maxwell brothers initiate ' family affair ' in Bergan 1974 marked the beginning of a family affair in Bergan Hall. It began when Chuck Maxwell moved up to replace the retiring Bemie Conway, director for the Alumni Association. Then Larry Maxwell, Chuck ' s brother, slipped into the assistant ' s spot. But they aren ' t the only families involved in the Alumni Association. The Maxwell brothers want to get all alumni and their families interested in the activities of the association. The goal of our office is to serve the university ' s graduates and help them in every possible way, Chuck said. The Alumni Association keeps tabs on each student that receives a diploma from Creighton. The office girls are kept busy scanning the marriage, birth and death announcements in the papers to follow the lives of the graduates. For every son or daughter bom to an alumni, the Association sends them an honorary degree from Creighton for picking such good parents. One method of aiding the school ' s 25,000 alumni is by informing them of their alma mater ' s structural, financial, academic, social and cultural changes. One of the Maxwell ' s visits each of the 65 alumni chapters across the country each year. Either the university president, a vice president, dean or faculty member travels along with him as a guest speaker at the meetings. Since 7,500 graduates live in the Omaha area, the Association sponsors several activities that cater to these alums. Included are a picnic, a homecoming party, Thanksgiving Mass and breakfast and a alumni awards banquet, which honors eight graduates for outstanding achievement in their businesses. Alumni reunions for all of the professional schools are also held throughout the year. A journalism reunion was also held this year. It was the first under- graduate department to sponsor such an event. Max- well said. It ' s amazing how many graduates vacation in or around Omaha, Chuck said. They plan their trips so that they can attend the picnic (in the summer). They know they ' ll see more of their old classmates there than if they tried to visit each separately. For the same reason St. John ' s church is packed each year for the Thanksgiving Mass even though the holiday is so busy for most families. Chuck said. An alumni council of 18 members representing each school and college oh campus is the exectuvie body of the association. 264 Chuck Maxwell Alumni Director Larry Maxwell Assistant Alumni Director I « The Rev.

It means giving a pint of blood to promote your candidate in the Ugly-Cutie race. It means giving a pint of blood so that someone else might have a better chance at life. It means taking time out of your busy sched- ule to help at the Senior Center and give a few hours of comfort and joy to the elderly. It means enjoying the friendship and the closeness of sorority sisters and frat brothers. It means relaxing in the pleasant, yet sophisti- cated, atmosphere at the annual PonheiJenic Dance. In short, being a Greek means fun with a whole lot of giving wrapped up inside. Alpha Sigma Gamma Cutie candidate Katby Reinsch goes to great lengths in her quest for the Cutie title.

Planning the activities and recruiting help from the older members are two important duties. Delta Zeta president DeeDee Meyer had her hands full in late August setting up the teas, picnics and get- togethers to promote her sorority. Helping in the campus clean-up, the canned food drive and other community activities were on the agenda for the busy sorority. Michelle Jone, Delta Zeta ' s Cutie candidate took the prize at Fall Frolics for her sorority for the most pints of blood donated. The humor of the race put aside for awhile, students were ushered into the fishbowl where nurses were on hand to take their tem- peratures and prepare to take their blood, too.

Civic, campus events stimulates sororitv Kappa Beta Chi sorority kept members busy during the year with civic and campus projects. They partici- pated in the USC kegger to make it a success and promoted their Cutie candidate in the Blood drive race. Rush activities included a formal tea, informed get-togethers and comfy ' rap sessions ' with the older members. Showing how much fun, and yet fulfilling, a sorority can be was the major goal of Kappa Beta Chi during Rush week. Although adding members was important, the sorority was more interested in the atmosphere within their group. President Roxanne Fox kept the girls united with school drives, including the campus clean-up and the canned food drive. Kappa Beta Chi participated in the Winterfest activities and were first to support the Friday night T.G.I.F. ' s in Brandeis. 277 Rush, the annual ritual of acquainting new students with the qualities and bene- fits of each Greek organization, got off to a good start with the advent of sorority teas. Freshmen and older independent 278 To be a pledge or not, big question for frosh One of the biggest decisions a student makes his freshman year is whether to join a fraternity or soror- ity. If the answer is yes, he or she must decide which one. Frosh were given the opportunity to mingle with fraternity brothers and sorority sisters in both casual and formal settings during the year. Students were invited to parties at frat houses to join in the relaxed atmosphere. Greek smokers and teas were also held to introduce hopeful pledges to Greek life. Sororities and fraternities started soliciting pledges early in the year. The freshman week, sponsored jointly by the Greeks, established a strong foothold of friendship in August. Get togethers, campus beer blasts, the Cutie-Ugly race and the blood drive all contributed to the pleasant aura on campus. The traditional token antagonism between Greeks and Independents was at a minimum this year. Dis- putes between the two disappeared as the gap between them was dissolved. With student harmony at a maxi- mum, more students anxiously pledged with the Greek organizations than in previous years. The Interfraternity Council, established this year to settle fraternity arguments, also helped establish a good will within the Greeks. Although competition between them was tough for new pledges, cruel and vicious campaigns were outlawed. Council members included chairman Arthur Ny- strom of Delta Sigma Pi; secretary Michael Ulch of Phi Kappa Psi and William Behrendt of Delta Chi. 279 After walking 20 miles, a young walker isn ' t too worn out to enjoy a hot dog.

Hungrily devouring the food offered to them, the student- walkers were not the only ones who partici- pated in the money drive. Delta Chi fraternity and Alpha Sigma Gamma soro rity were among hundreds of Omahans who gave their time in the United Cerebral Palsy Walk-a-thon in October. The Delta Chi ' s cooked 700 pounds of donated hot dogs and the ASG ' s helped serve them to hungry walkers in Elmwood Park, the last stop of the 20-mile route. Several hundred walkers, mostly under 15 years of age, made it the entire distance. When the last stop was made at Elmwood Park, sighs of relief were heard as students reached for the waiting hot dogs. This was the second year that the CU groups had helped at the Walk-a-thon. Although they didn ' t do the walking, after a busy day of handing out food, the students were ready for their own hot dog break. Maureen McCann, above left, and Jay Schmolke, left, enjoy some of their own cooking. The temptation was just too great to let the marchers have all the hot dogs.

Jan Pelletier, president of the sorority, was named Panhellenic Girl of the Year and the ASG ' s received a special sorority cooperation award. Over 600 persons attended the affair held at the Hilton Hotel ballroom. Sororities split into separate dining rooms for the banquet. Officers spoke to their sorority sisters on past episodes of the group. Then, all in attendance were united as the music brought couples to the dance floor. Mary Gutenkauf was named the new Panhellenic Council president to succeed Katie Lawler at the position.

The 62-member,group collected the most in the fall semester ' s canned food drive. Their candidate Tom Grennan received the title Mr. Ugly during Fall Frolics for the most blood donated in the Blood Drive. President Vince Jones said a high academic stand- ing was needed to qualify for membership in the frat. In carrying out the goal to help the Omaha commun- ity, the SAE ' s participated in the Jerry Lewis Talk- athon, the Cancer Society ' s Bike-athon, a voluntary probation program for juveniles and the KOIL Hallow- een Haunted House. Lighter social events of the year included a Roman orgy, a spring formal dance, the spring relay races, an Alumni day and the first SAE Drink-athon held in Beebeetown, Iowa. Moderators for the fraternity were Dr. Allen Schleich, the Rev. Anthony Weber, S.J. and Mrs. Irma Trumbaur. Before the actual blood donation, many studenis got queasy .stomachs in anticipation of the needle.

President Andy Schmitt said fun was at the top of the list and intermingled with all of the other activities. The social fraternity co-hosted Freshman Welcome Week with Alpha Sigma Gamma sorority and put up a good fight in the Blood Drive and Mr. Ugly race. They conducted their annual Powder Puff games and participated in the regular intramural sports. A luau, formal dance and several Rush activities kept the 80 members a close group of fi-iends. Community service was the main purpose listed for the group. A Phi Psi guy was always there to lend a helping hand or shout some encouragement. To be a member, Schmitt said students must be in good standing with the university and, he quipped, they must have a high excellence of chacter. 288 instructions from Mary EJien Rozmajzl on the proper use of a light meter to make the perfect picture for the yearbook. 289 i Delta Chi: Bottom.

New f rat house adds sparkle to Delta Chi ' s Members of the national social fraternity Delta Chi attempted this year to serve the individual in both an academic and social curriculum, according to pres- ident Bill Behrendt. The 53 members, under faculty adviser the Rev. Don- ald Doll, S.J., participated in the Cerebral Palsy Walk- athon and the Fall Frolics Blood Drive. The fraternity also sold copies of the Bluejay, under the direction of recording secretary Herb Hames, in order to raise money to help repay the loan on their fraternity house purchased last year.

This was the phrase used by president Gene Andreason ' s Rush campaign for signing up new members to the diminishing fraternity, Delta Upsilon. Although few in number, the group didn ' t try to coerce freshmen to join. Being frank about the qualities of the group ' s affili- ation was enough to acquire an enrollment rise, members reasoned. The DU ' s who were struggling to stay on their feet as a campus fraternity, sponsored a Halloween party, equipped with a pumpkin sale. They participated in the Blood Drive and Winterfest adventures. Earlier in the year, they helped out in Freshman Week and the Casino Night affairs. Rush smokers and parties were held early in the second semester to acquaint interested students with the frat. 293 Projects sparkle business fraternity community The 37 members of the national business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, busily participated in several campus and community projects. Besides helping out in various community money- raising efforts such as Honey Sunday, the Delta Sigs were active in the campus blood drive and sponsored Halloween parties for local area youth. The Christmas dance and formal Rose Dance were among the social events sponsored by the fraternity. President Skip Code said guest speakers and activi- ties in the business field were sponsored to encourage scholarship and professional activity among the mem- bers.

After struggling through the necessary core and divisional requirements and choosing a major field with co-related minor areas, you ' re a senior and you ' re graduating. That is, if your QPA is over 2.0 and if you ' ve added up the number of credit hours correctly to equal the magic number — 128. And if you ' ve paid the graduation fee and filled out the necessary applications forms before the deadline. Stop a minute. Was it all that had? Remember the first time you came to Creighton as a wide-eyed freshman, wondering if college was really the way your brother had said it would he. You got out of your car, picked up your suitcases and walked hesitantly towards the dorms. Remember the first person you spoke to as a college student. Was it your roommate or someone you haven ' t seen since? Remember the first class you missed be- cause you couldn ' t find a parking place. And by the time you had found one, you were afraid to walk into class late. On the whole, life at Creighton wasn ' t bad at all. But whether you enjoyed your years here nor not, it ' s all incidental now. The seniors of 1974 are graduating. You ' re part of a memory.

Rememher when you stayed up all night cramming for an exam to find out in the morning that the test was next week? Or when you slipped on the ice and books went flying. Someone you never saw before stopped. Helped you pick them up. Smiled and walked on. Or when you finally got up enough courage to ask the guy in your American lit class to be your date at Turnabout . . . and he accepted? 339 This was a year sprinkled with joy and defeat, good times and had. But it was iced with effort, that magic word that means you tried. No matter how often you stumbled and fell, somehow you got the courage to pick yourself up and try again. Remember how you cheered the Jays on to their greatest season of them all? How proud you felt when we received NCAA bid. Win or lose, they were our Jays. Or remember the technical foul called on the crowd because someone threw a paper cup on the court after the refs had warned against it? 340 341 342 Was it all worth it? The hours spent cramming for tests, digging through files and files of micro fiche, gulping down a sandwich while running to make it to work on time. Was it all worth it? Itvyas all a part of growing up. Changing. Learning to accept some things and trying to change others. It was good experience. Something to write home about. Take your time. Browse through these pages again. Remember the good times and the bad. When you finish, look up. It will all he changing. Take another look at the fleeting seconds that are captured here. Remember them. Cherish them. They ' re aJi that ' s left of a year. But, they ' re here. Waiting to touch your memory and explode it with a billion thoughts of yesterday. It ' s all here . . . when you want it. t 343 « M 344 345 Index Adams, E. Stephen, 300 Adams, Lawrence, 158 Ahlers, Anne, 300 Allen. Julia K., 300, 135 Allen.
