It must unravel itself through the telling of its beginnings and endings — through its cycles. 1978-79 witnessed the last reflections of the Centennial celebration coupled with speculations for the university ' s fu- ture. As the Creighton story has been told, the emphasis has been on the internal evolution — the changes in the administrative aspects, the depart- ments, the schools, the education and the organizations. It has been a journey of memories for alumni and a learning experience for today ' s Creighton students to see how students of yesteryear survived their daily campus routine. As Creighton begins the second cen- tury of a sturdy existence, the time has come to explore the cycles of change — the beginnings and endings — of its students. How has the student changed in philosophy over 100 years? How has the student evolved while the school ' s change has been seen in constuction and program changes? Who is the stu- dent who gives Creighton and its phys- ical entities — the buildings — life? Student emcompasses those taking classes, those teaching and all of the others working to make the university run smoothly Student is anyone who ir F if )V1L After a brief fall shower, a rainbow arches across the sky above Creighton ' s campus, above left, (opposite page), while two freshmen students volunteer to help a clown from The Royal Fenwick Circus, below.

Creighton introduces a new lifestyle to the freshman, and a new person emerges as the novice becomes a senior. Change is slow, but it is there — just as summer turns to Indian summer and winter thaws for spring. The student will keep this process alive into the sec- ond century. The beginnings and endings of 1978- 79 can only be told through the happen- ings, students ' life, the organizations and the learning. It was a unique year which began with the acquisition of Sheridan Hall, named after the late Rev. Michael Sheridan, administrative assistant to the president. Early semester activities included Welcome Week activities which intro- duced freshmen to Creighton lifestyle. Rush Week and Greek Week illustrated what Creighton ' s Greek system was all about and hoped to attract new members. More construction greeted students as the year began. Creighton ' s system of moats was caused by the construction of the piazza fountain. Omaha labor un- ions, construction trade associations and contractors donated the labor and the cost. The Student Board of Governors faced a $15,000 deficit as the year began. The deficit altered events planned for the year. At the annual budget meeting, new guidelines were set for member- ship fees for Creighton ' s organizations, and changes were begun to offer stu- dents more services. the foreword The Jesuit Gardens area provides, far left (opposite page), a sanctuary for studying, and an intramural player gets tagged at second during an early game in the intramural season in the fall, bottom.

Creighton, S.J., was inaugurated as the 21st president in the first formal inauguration in the school ' s history. Creighton had guest speakers who highlighted the events for the year. George Plimpton was the Welcome Week lecturer. Noted author and editor, William R Buckley, Hilton Kramer, a na- tionally known art critic, and Doris Hays, a pianist, were just a few of the guests. Friday and Saturday evening voids were filled with a kaleidoscope of films offered by the SBG like a Paul Newman series, a Hitchcock series and a foreign film series. -• SJ4UXJJ. •P ' ;pr ' 1- i d v - .,- p .r 1  m ' 8 — the foreword A Middle Age drama unfolded in St. John ' s Church as Jean Anouilh ' s Beck- ef ' was performed. The Real Inspec- tor Hound and a spring musical added to the other theater fare. Other entertainments included noon concerts and Sunday evening music in the Knothole. There was Fall Frolics and the Blood Drive first semester. As the semester ended the Christmas spirit came alive on campus when the Omaha labor un- ions fastened a tree atop the fountain. A lighting ceremony and carols from the choir completed the festivities. Wmterfest and the carnival as well as the Panhellenic formal and Turn- about were major dance events for the second semester. National and world events on the doorstep of Creighton were not ignored by some students. The Young Demo- crats and the Young Republicans were on campus involved in area campaigns during the election year.

International events included the death of Pope John Paul I and the elec- tion of a Polish Pope, John Paul 11. The Arabs and Israelis took a new step as new peace accords were signed before the watching world. The world, too, witnessed beginnings and endings. 1978-79 had its endings, too. Program 101 came to an end, and new plans for an alternate educational structure were begun. Graduation came for seniors as they ended one phase of the cycle to move onto new careers and professio nal and graduate schools. — the foreword This is 1978-79, and it was the year of the students. The students created a vivid reality full of change — cycles of beginnings and endings. Edward and John Creighton began it all and were responsible for the opening of Creighton ' s doors in 1878 with 120 boys. Since then the university has taken great strides to develop a campus, atmosphere and programs to provide its students with quality education and environment. As Creighton opens its doors to a new century, a new beginning, it is the students who will carry forth the Creighton brothers ' dream and write the next chapter in the school ' s history. The 1979 Bluejay is the record of how these students have evolved and where they are going in the future.

The 1924 yearbook, Creighton ' s first yearbook, was submitted in the hope that it would serve to foster Creighton spirit and perpetuate the ideals of the University In much the same way, this book, the first volume of Creighton ' s second cen- tury, is submitted. It captures the end of the Centennial celebration and begins the story of the second. It is submitted with the hope Creighton University ' s students will continue to change and continue to be thinking and learning students who are always willing to experience new be- ginnings, and that its students will carry the Creighton brothers dream into the future.

This is not to say, however, that the spiritual well-being of Creighton students was neglected. The old program was reorganized into a new service, University Chaplains. According to the Rev. Jack Walsh, S.J., administrative director of the program, the change was made in an attempt to bring the parish and Campus Ministry people closer together. Through the new program, mem- bers of the parish council and Cam- pus Ministry were organized into a joint decision-making body. In the past, all decisions were made separately by the parish council and by Campus Ministry ' Walsh said. This resulted in some duplica- tion of services and wasted effort. Through the new program we can use the talents and interests of those The Rev. Leo Bulger, S.J., a university chaplain, says a mass for a floor in Kiewit Hall, above right. Chris Joda, university chaplain and director of music and liturgy, hands an apple to a student re- turning from an afternoon class, right. involved in all areas we serve. Fifteen full-time men and wo- men now serve in the program, as- sisted by four inter-denominational ministers. The University Chaplains con- tinued to sponsor most of the same services formerly offered by Cam- pus Ministry — retreats, work- shops, the Community Service Center, senior citizen center, and various dialogues and liturgies in- volving faculty members. Due to the improved coordina- tion, our Religious Education Com- mittee, Bible discussion groups and Marriage Preparation program were also all more active, Walsh said. In a lot of ways, though, we ' re still a non-program-oriented group. You ' ll always find a lot of chaplains more willing to go dancing at the Nashville Club — just spending time with students and faculty doing the fun things we like to do! fn fi K 16 — after the classes Series ' 78 again offers new programs for dorms Many of the programs were the same because they were popular, Eileen Lieben, dean of women and associate dean of students, said about this year ' s Series ' 78 programs. Lieben along with the Extra- curricular Program Planning Com- mittee, an informal group of stu- dents, worked to plan programs on topics such as wine tasting, human sexuality, contemporary moral prob- lems, coping with depression and on sports like jogging. Series ' 78 began in 1977-78, and according to Lieben, the programs were once again a success. I am very pleased with the reac- tion, Lieben said. I always get feedback. The students are in- terested. The enthusiasm is there. Something I noticed to be true this year was the interest in health programs and those on nutrition, she added. One change in the program this year, according to Lieben, was more student participation involved in picking the programs. The RAs chose a topic for the wing or floor with the help of the governor in order to find out what the residents really wanted. Another change was that each RA was responsible for a single pro- gram rather than four RAs in a house picking a series of programs. Each RA was responsible for the planning and refreshments for his or her program. To plan programs, Lieben said, was just a matter of listening for students ' and faculty members talents. Several faculty members serve as resources for the programs. For example, the Rev. John P. Schlegel, S.J., assistant vice president for academic affairs, gave a talk on wine tasting. Dr. Daniel Murphy, associate professor of psychology, talked on human sexuality. University speakers were incorpo- rated into the dorm program, also. A reception was held for Rosemary Haughton in Deglman Hall. Haughton spoke on the family and the community for the future in early October. Second semester efforts included a few changes in the program topics and an attempt to get more town students involved in the dorm programs. We ' d like more town students, Lieben said. We ' ve helped town students by advertising. Many of the RAs found the pro- grams were popular. Ellen Kaiser, Arts senior, said the program held on her floor was nice because it was so informal. Her floor, ninth floor in Kiewit, hosted Dr. Murphy for a discussion on human sexuality. It was so nice because it was in- formal, but for those who have never had the class, it was informa- tive. And it was a chance to talk to a teacher as a person, Kaiser said. Lieben said the program for years to come will bear the familiar Series ' 78 as a reminder of Creighton ' s centennial and of when the program began.

Resident advisers were faced with many situations in their year as dorm staffers. Advisers had to wear many hats as listeners, events plan- ners, disciplinarians, and friends to residents and fellow staff mem- bers alike. There was an occasional bat to cope with. A fire alarm pulled for fun during the wee hours of the morning in sub-zero weather brought RAs from every part of the dorm to control the anxious excite- ment and to make sure everyone was safely out of the dorm. Lock- outs, quiet hours, floor functions — all were duties for the RAs. Their year began before registra- tion with a workshop at O ' Donnel Center which was a chance for the new and second year RAs to get re-acquainted. The first workshop was held in the spring of the previous year to get the staf- fers introduced. During the fall workshop, the ex- perienced RAs shared their experi- ences and answered the questions of the new RAs. Role playing and simulated dorm situations served to explain the duties of the RAs and to clarify the do ' s and don ' t ' s of the dorm rules. Dorm registration and moving day created a hectic beginning for the school year. The 49 resident ad- visers spent the first few weeks get- ting to know their residents. Halloween parties, birthday cele- brations and TGIFs highlighted the year ' s activities for most of the dorm floors and wings in the five resident halls. The Series ' 78 program for edu- cational enrichment was continued, and the programs included talks on human sexuality, careers for women in science, jogging and macrame. Four staff members were added this year to the resident hall advisei staff. Sheridan Hall, named aftei the late Rev. Michael Sheridan, S.J., administrative assistant to the pres- ident, was purchased by Creighton to accommodate the increased enrollment. As the RAs looked back on the year, they found both good times and difficult situations. U - %(;oie.;iiff ;K«HT«%iTtf«iTc V . 4 ■mh, Q Mi c? ' ♦1 - tm. ' J 4?; .

In addition to improving living conditions in the dorms and creat- ing a relaxed, personal atmosphere, promoting unity between the East and West quads was an important goal sought by both dormitory quad councils. To achieve this goal, both councils established committees to facilitate communication between the groups. The councils were composed of student governors and lieutenant governors elected by each dormi- torv wing. To deal with student complaints and problems arising within the dorms, the student Judiciary Board, as well as committees for food, cleaning, laundry and concessions services, were established. Events committees for the quads planned dances, TGIF ' s and Miller j and Budweiser contests to raise money for the quad. The West Quad council includes Kiewit and Gallagher halls. Officers included Arts junior Paul Kaminski, president; Arts junior Julie Spell- man, vice-president; Arts junior Julie Zinck, secretary; and Business junior John Monroe, treasurer. The East Quad council represents Swanson, Deglman and Sheridan i halls. Quad officers were Arts I senior Curtis Mock, president; Arts I junior Joe Miller, vice-president; I Arts sophomore Pepito Angel, sec- ; retary; and Arts sophomore Jim j Hanosh, treasurer.

My only complaint is that I wish the service was used more. Nursing senior Rhonda Thomp- son ' s above complaint was echoed by Nursing senior Celeste Schlader who added, Many people on campus don ' t know about us. We would like for people to know we ' re available. Schlader and Thompson, along with Nursing senior Carol Troll, worked during the past year as dorm nurses. The function of the dorm nurses is to provide medical service for students when the student health center is closed. Schlader said the nurses rotated shifts during the week so that at least one nurse was on duty at all times other than the health center ' s regular hours — 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each nurse carried an electronic beeper to alert them whenever they couldn ' t be located in their rooms. Schlader said the nurses usually treated cuts or illnesses and gave medical advice. For instance, if someone was sick with a cold, we could call a doc- tor and get a prescription to hold the student over until the student could see a doctor, she said. Troll said she felt the service is a necessary one. Many students go to the emergency room at St. Joseph ' s for services which we pro- vide free of charge in the dorms, she said. Not only is it expensive to go to the emergency room, but it is a mis- utilization of emergency services when students go in for minor first aid services. Troll said she applied for the posi- tion because of the learning experi- ence involved. You are on your own as a dorm nurse, she said. We have to per- form the initial assessment and pro- vide the treatment. This is impor- tant because nursing is tending more toward specialization, as is medicine. Nurses must know how to diagnose and provide profes- sional medical care and emergency treatment. Thompson, however, pointed out some of the drawbacks to the posi- tion. She said she sometimes had trouble getting sleep the nights she was on call. I was also called several times while in the shower, she said. That ' s a real pain! 22 — after the classes High enrollment forces purchase of Sheridan Hall Increased freshman enrollment necessitated the purchase of an ad- ditional dormitory last summer, ac- cording to James R. Doyle, vice president for student personnel and dean of students. 135 sophomore, junior and senior men moved last fall into the former Guest House motel, renamed Sheridan Hall in memory of the late Rev. Michael P. Sheridan, S.J., former administrative assistant to the president. The dormitory is located at 24th and Dodge, three blocks off the main campus. Security considera- tions led to the decision to make Sheridan an all-male residence. Rooms were remodeled to ac- commodate desks, shelves and extra beds, but the individual bathrooms and wall-to-wall carpeting remained. Sheridan residents were located farther from university facilities than most dorm students, and they walked to Brandeis Student Center for meals, but the majority of resi- dents, nevertheless, found the ad- vantages of Sheridan outweighed the disadvantages. At first I was apprehensive about being off campus, said Arts junior Tony Cafaro, a resident adviser. But now I really like it. I ' d go any- where to get my own bathroom! Arts sophomore Ross Fujimoto echoed Cafaro ' s sentiments. I think Sheridan ' s a great addition to the university — bigger and quieter rooms, the luxury of having your own private bathroom, free carpeting, and thermostatic air conditioning! Dean Doyle said security meas- ures at Sheridan included placing fire-bolt locks on all doors other than the main entrance, and the es- tablishment of a 24-hour-a-day guard at the main desk.

The hand-lettered CEC award was presented for showing that true, genuine love can be had by a diverse group when they open up their feelings and their hearts to one another in the spirit of brotherhood (i.e. humanhood). Although every semester brings a new set of participants to the Creighton Extension Curriculum, the sentiment is perhaps applicable to them all, for in the CEC house, diversity seems to yield friendship. The seminar aspect of CEC is a program designed to provide stu- dents with interdisciplinary per- spectives on a social, historical or theological topic. The members meet once weekly for a discussion led by various fac- ulty members and twice weekly for dinner. Beyond the confines of the house, students were involved in special interest projects which ranged from doing a survey on American art to compiling demo- graphic data for a political campaign. Approximately 17 students, a di- rector and a faculty member com- prise the CEC household each semester. This year the Rev. Tom Shanahan, S.J. directed the house and Dr. Kathryn Thomas, assistant profes- sor of classical language, was the resident faculty member. The members customarily take a weekend trip in addition to plan- ning group activities. This year the first semester group traveled to the Black Hills in South Dakota and to one CEC member ' s home, a ranch in the northwestern corner of that state. Beyond the activities and the academic aspect, there is an uniqueness to CEC that members attribute to the experience of com- munity living and learning itself. Arts junior Steve Lutz found value in the opportunity to know new people on a deeper level than would be possible in a dorm, while Arts junior Lou Scallon recognized an increased sensitivity and aware- ness that what one does may in- fringe on the rights of others. It ' s almost like a family, he said, and in that context, it allows one to share interests with the other mem- bers of the house. Arts senior Kathy O ' Connor saw a wholistic approach in the at- tempt to bring education into the home and community setting, which minimizes the dichotomy between education and private life. It shifts traditional limitations of education in such a way as to pro- vide new challenges and a fresh perspective, she said. f Noel DeVoe, Julie Konan and Kathy O ' Connor watch slides with Dr. James Lupo, assistant professor of psychology, above.

While Charles Shoemaker and Dabe Brauer search for something edible in the Saga entrees, Mary O ' Neil makes sure everyone gets their vegetables, above. What did Creightonites complain about when they weren ' t talking about stud y conditions, the inverted cones, temperatures in the Alumni library or registration? You ' re right! Saga food service! Another favorite pastime of Creighton dorm residents was to as- sail the food service. According to Jim Greisch, Busi- ness junior and student manager of Becker cafeteria, the compliments were few and far between. There are always dumb com- plaints like ' the peanut butter is too stiff or ' the ice is too cold, ' he said. And alot of time ' s we have a good meal. Greisch added that the legitimate complaints are acted upon as quickly as possible. Greisch said he noticed a change in Becker. The advent of more freshmen, he said, to the west quad changed the atmosphere in Becker. Don Gatch, Becker food service manager, said his student staff was excellent, and he wouldn ' t trade them for the world. What is it like working for the food service? For Eileen O ' Shaughnessy, Nursing sopho- more, the work is a nice break. As far as working, it ' s really handy, she said. Everybody is nice. They ' re alot of fun sometimes. The only thing that is frustrating is when kids mess up the trays. Gatch said he had a problem get- ting enough students to work at the beginning of the year. It ' s always a problem the first couple of weeks, he said. By the end of the first month students need to work. Saga had its specials at Halloween and Thanksgiving. There were a couple of specials in the spring semester, also. Brandeis cafeteria lengthened its hours by opening early to accommodate the new resi- dents in Sheridan. According to Piers Banks, food service director, the increased en- rollment has little effect on the lines. Banks added that he feels the food service has come a long way in qual- ity in the past few years. 26 — after the classes Top, the cafeteria is the scene of much conversation and observation.

Frisbee catch is just one form of campus entertainment students can enjoy, bottom. Creighton entertainment defies categorization. The types of ac- tivities found on campus are as numerous and varied as the stu- dents engaging in them. During the past year, old stand-by diversions were as popular as ever. The Kiewit Center intramural pro- gram shll provided jocks the oppor- tunity to perform and armchair athletes the chance to watch. TGIFs remained the perennially popular Friday afternoon let-off- steam activity, as did that time- honored ritual, hanging around the quad. Movies were shown twice weekly, ranging from Ingmar Bergman films to King Kong — something for everyone. And frisbee fans con- tinued to chase misdirected missies across Creighton ' s unique, campus- wide frisbee golf course. In addition to the usual, however, there was entertainment to be had in some rather unexpected places. Backgammon proved to be the latest craze, especially in the dorms where boards were usually to be found placed on top of open, soon- to-be-forgotten textbooks. (It was rumored that one student, back- gammoned three successive times, proceeded to fail a logic exam the next day.) Disco dancing also caught the imagination of Creighton students, providing new incentive for native New Yorkers to go home and learn the latest steps. Would-be John Travoltas were even known to pass up Friday night Saga sundaes so that their pants might fit Saturday night. Foosball tables, installed in the dorm lobbies, were also a popular form of entertainment — especially among the freshmen men. The ta- bles provided diversion not just to foosball devotees, but to lobby ob- servers studying the individuals patronizing the game. Some students hired themselves out as midnight-to-8 a.m. dorm lobby security guards in search of diversion. After all, what better way to keep up on campus gossip? (Im- agine working that shift the night of Fall Frolics!) The Alumni Library suggestion book proved an indispensible form of entertainment to numerous stu- dents who spent their evenings reading the entries and library staff replies. Some students suggested the supplying of blankets to cope with the infamous sub-zero library tem- peratures while others advocated the parading of bodies to brighten the dull scenery. Replies were equally bizarre. The new Bluejay bar opened close to campus, providing additional temptation to weak-willed students. Careful observation revealed a worn path leading from the library to the conveniently located establishment. And when all other forms of en- tertainment fail, Creighton students can always resort to poking fun at each other. Observers at pre-chemistry test Saga meals find tense students in- haling chicken bones. Students at Carter Lake keggers discover freshmen boys propositioning senior women. Basketball games give students the chance to again experience childhood games of hide-and-go- seek and Mannix during the walk to Civic Auditorium. Popcorn and textbook hangovers (not to mention real hangovers!) leave students bleary-eyed at break- fast. The activities (and conse- quences) are all ultimately justified by participants as being an essen- tial part of that mysterious Educa- tional Process. f , ' TJi.7pi ' OREl ' « ) X The opening of the Bluejay Bar this year created a new outlet for fun, top.

Bottom, fencing takes a stab at the athletic curriculum — en garde! Why can ' t Johnny read? He ' s in the Kiewit Center Creighton is an academic school, right? All those kids studying to be lawyers and doctors — they proba- bly don ' t have much time to piddle away on those lesser pursuits like athletics, right? Wrong. The most popular building on campus is not Rigge Science Build- ing and certainly not the Alumni Library. Students use the Kiewit Physical Fitness Center more than any other place. And they use it for any number of different things. They show off their tans in the swimming pool following a spring break trip to Padre Island, Texas. They pump weights for hours daily — visions of body building Schwartznagel dancing through their heads. Students compete in basketball and all sorts of intramural stuff, and play raquetball, and run and talk to members of the opposite sex. While Mom and Dad are at home thinking how hard son Johnny must be studying Tuesday night, Johnny is taking a sauna in the Kiewit Center to get rid of some of the weight he ' s been gaining at the nearest bar. The sauna does won- ders for a beer belly. The Kiewit Center is, however, the home of various academic pursuits. First aid, physical education, and other subjects are taught there, not to mention classes in theory of bas- ketball and theory of football, (which probably shouldn ' t be mentioned). And students can learn how to fence, so that should one happen to have one ' s foil with them when they ' re attacked in a dark alley, they would know what to do. Co-eds can also learn martial arts and not have to worry about their boyfriends putting the moves on them anymore. Why, it ' s truly amazing — the many uses of the most-used build- ing at an academic institution. 30 — after the classes An intense game of basketball breaks the monotony of an afternoon, left.

It ' s 3 a.m., and it ' s the morning for that last, most important final. You ' ve given up on the all- nighter to cram because your eyes are starting to blur, and nothing will keep them open but toothpicks. Just as your head hits the pillow, the fire alarm pierces the quiet of the sleepy halls due to the efforts of a practical joker celebrating an early end to finals week. Ah, the joys of living in the dorm . . . But there were brighter sides to the residence hall lifestyle. For Ken Korkia, Arts junior, dorm life kept him close to happenings on campus. I like the close proximity of my friends, he said. But it is nice to have a car to go when I want. Dorm life provides a unique living experience. For some residents, liv- ing with a roommate is the first situation they ' ve encountered where they have to share a room and some of their privacy. Midnight snack bar machine raids and late popcorn parties make dorm life fun. Floor birthday parties and having your neighbors really care about your tough test makes dorm life bearable. Small daily problems like slow elevators, washers that don ' t wash and dryers that don ' t dry, blasting stereos in the room below that make your floor vibrate, or that cafeteria meal that didn ' t quite agree with your stomach — all of these define what living in a dorm is all about. Residents complain about many things, but it is all part of it. As they survive another year in the dorm, those things take a back seat to the good memories of the dorm. Special friendships are developed and a sense of community builds on a dorm wing. Teresa Bruns, Arts senior, said dorm life forced her to make new friends. I expanded my circle of friends, she said. It is a disadvantage for seniors because the majority of my friends are off campus. Bruns said she made an effort to call them but felt the conveniences of the dorm life outweighed the dis- advantages. I chose to remain on campus, she said. I had the opportunity to move off. I ' ll be living on my own the rest of my life, and there was the opportunity to live in the dorm only one more year. It ' s nice to be on campus when things are here. after the classes — 33 iK- ' K ' :Z ' Tt Above, Kiewit security guard, Don Pet- tinger, Arts junior, carefully checks Arts junior Patty Kell ' s I.D. Arts sophomore Brian Wixted, above right, takes a second from his guarding duties to smile. New security provisions put an end to ' Chester ' The infamous Chester the Mo- lester who once roamed campus dormitories much to the dismay of female residents and consternation of administrators, saw his final days at Creighton University this year. Prompted by an abrupt increase in security incidents, new security procedures were implemented last spring, making it more difficult for intruders to enter dorms. Since then, however, further changes were introduced to provide even better protection for students for the 1978-79 school year. James R. Doyle, dean of stu- dents, said major changes included the use of students rather than professional security guards for dormitory security, as well as an increase in car patrols and walking patrols. The use of student security guards was introduced in response to the complaints of dormitory residents. They objected to daily encounters with unfamiliar, uniformed guards patrolling halls and requesting iden- tification from students entering the dorms. Unhappy residents claimed the dormitories had taken on a jail-like atmosphere. Arts senior Rick Giannini, coor- dinator of East Quad security, said the new student security system not only proved effective, but was more practical, as well. He said employing students to check I.D.s prevented much wasted time, as student guards were famil- iar with the majority of residents. The student system not only im- proved the quality of security but also provided on-campus job opportunities for students, accord- ing to Giannini. A security consultant was also added to the security program. Among his duties are the identifica- tion of security problems and the creation of a more effective and economical security system. Doyle said he foresees no major system changes in the future with the exception of some slight modifi- cations in procedures. We may provide our own inter- nal security system rather than contract for an outside system, he said. The new program significantly reduced intrusion incidents. Occa- sionally, however, one determined enough could find a way to get past I.D. checkers. Arts junior Eric Renaud, a student security employee, recalled one such experience he had with a man who reportedly had a package to pick up at a dorm lobby desk. Allowed to enter the building, the man promptly went over to the desk and flashed the desk worker. Escaping, however, proved more difficult, as the flasher found him- self being escorted out of the build- ing and into a security patrol car. 34 — after the classes Ah. ..Friday! What would students do without you? There ' s a certain atmosphere on that last day of the school week. A special mood prevails as people slow down and breathe a little easier. That day — ahh . . . Friday — even the word is nice. On Fridays, time slows down and we ' re given the chance to catch up with it. Students saunter to class and would-be lecturers confront not an audience of eager faces, but a wall of upraised Friday Creigh- tonian issues. All the hustle and bustle of the week fades; tests are shrugged off and studying is postponed until Sunday (if that soon!). The campus acquires a new spirit as students anticipate Friday night SAGA sundaes, partying, catching up on sleep or just doing nothing. Stereos in the dorms are turned up and the music filters into the quads. Weekend plans are finalized. Dates are made. Suitcases are packed for a weekend of respite care at home. Getting away from it all seems to be the universal objective. An indispensible Friday activity is the hme-honored TGIF. Whether they ' re held in the student centers, a local drinking establishment, or someone ' s room or apartment, TGIFs start the weekend off right. It ' s an opportunity to relax, to be with friends — to drown one ' s sor- rows of the week, or to celebrate one ' s triumphs. And one of the nicest things about Fridays is that they come once every week. Thank God It ' s Fri- day is a prayer than never goes unanswered. w m- Arts junior, Alan Mitsunaga relaxes with a game of frisbee on a sunny Friday afternoon, above.

The center, formerly housed in Criss II, was re-located on the sec- ond floor of the Administration Building. As a result of the move, fewer medical and pharmacy students used the facility this year, according to Dr. Charlene Erskine, acting di- rector of the center. Nevertheless, Erskine said the center has remained an effective service. Because of counseling, we have lessened the attrition rate at the university. This is the justification for having a Counseling Center around, she said. About half of the students who come to the center come for career counseling and half for personal problems — sometimes related to school. The categories we use for personal problems are con- flicts within oneself and conflicts with others. The center staff includes three psychologists — Erskine, Dr. Caroline Sedlacek and Dr. Thomas Grandy — as well as three graduate assistants — Nancy Talk, John Carlson and John Matschiner. Above, Kathy Wells, secretary at the Counseling Center, greets all prospective clients. Top, John Matschiner, one of three graduate students at the Counseling Center, aids psychologists in their work. 36 — after the classes Senior job panic alleviated through Placement Office The average Creighton senior en- ters his final semester in a state of panic. Faced with the prospect of paying back all those government loans, and reimbursing long- suffering parents (not to mention the necessity of producing that mil- lion dollars one assures all their friends they ' ll mak e the first year out), the typical senior often de- spairs of locating a suitable job. The worst fears of seniors not- withstanding. Earl Winters is highly optimistic about the present job market. He should know. Winters is the director of the Placement Office. There ' s a high quality of stu- dents who interview with them, Wmters said. We receive few com- plaints. The Placement Office provides three main services to students and alumni. The office helps students find part-time jobs. Bulletin boards located in lower Brandeis, the Business Administra- tion building and outside the Placement Office advertise available part-time jobs in the area. The office also provides a resume writing office. We offer help in writing resumes on a one-to-one basis, Winters said. Each resume is different and requires special attention. We pro- vide information on where to print them and how to make a place- ment file. Finally, the office invites business and company representatives to visit Creighton and interview stu- dents for full-time jobs. Every year, we bring 50 to 60 companies to campus, Winters said, and we have about 130 stu- dents who sign for interviews. It ' s kind of like bringing ' the mountain to Mohammed ' . Winters said that more liberal arts students, in addition to busi- ness majors, should sign up for interviews. Companies are interested in these students and wish they ' d have more interviews with them, Wmter said.

Retreats aim to provide ' nourishment for hungry ' Creighton offered its students the opportunity to escape the everyday grind of classes and studies through the University Chaplain retreat pro- gram, directed by chaplains Jan Bucher and the Rev. Leo Bulger, S.J. I would hope the retreats would provide a ' bread and wine ' experi- ence, Bucher said. And by that I mean nourishment for those hungry for space, for quiet, for time to savor the beauty of life. In an effort to provide such nourishment, the retreat program sponsored several O ' Donnell Center retreats open to all students, as well as two SEARCH retreats — student-directed retreats stressing reflection and community-building activities. Paul Welter, an author and psychologist from Kearney State University, also presented a retreat entitled How to Keep a Friend. Program innovations included the introduction of directed retreats in which students could engage in a more reflective, individual one-to- one experience and accompanied on their retreat by only a chaplain to help guide their activity. The Rev. James L. Datko used real-life experiences to help edu- cate retreat participants in the Philosophy of the Simple Life, sponsoring retreats at the Oblate farm in Honey Creek, Iowa. 38 — after the classes while Ellen Kaiser chats with George Dungan, left, Mike Moore, above, ex- presses himself dressed like a bunny.

Matthew E. Creighton, S.J., president of Creighton University. Fr. Creighton said the community has func- tions in, and duties to, the community, while the community is involved likewise with Creighton. We all chip in to solve problems and that ' s what a community should be about, Fr. Creighton said. Creighton University was founded as a private institution of higher learning in 1878 by pioneer brothers John and Edward Creighton and their wives Sarah Emily and Mary Lucretia. In the past 100 years the university has graduated 29,303 men and women. The c ity of Omaha is home for 3,829 Creighton alumni, and an additional 3,000 Creigh- ton alumni live in the surrounding metropolitan area. Leadership Provided Creighton provides leadership in a host of professions, supplying Omaha with a large percentage of graduates who are community leaders, according to the Rev. Carl M. Reinert, S.J., vice president for university relations. The university has educated 50 percent of 42 — afler the classes Omaha ' s physicians, 75 percent of Omaha ' s dentists, 60 percent of Omaha ' s attorneys and 70 percent of Omaha ' s pharmacists. Added to this have been the contributions of countless educators and business people. According to Fr. Creighton, the relation- ship with Omaha is strong because Creighton stands for values in education that com- muntiy leaders recognize as essential to human life. Leaders appreciate contributions Community leaders understand that Creighton is making contributions that create strong bonds for the citizens, he said. The atmosphere is a most congenial context for Jesuit education. Education at Creighton is a multi-faceted endeavor which attempts to develop student talents which span a broad spectrum. Creighton graduates are dedicated, persona- ble and productive within the community as a result of this Jesuit education. Father Creighton said. With an annual working budget of $37 mil- lion, Creighton is a major economic factor in the city, according to Michael Byrne, director of public relations and information. St. Joseph Hospital, with a budget of $31 million, makes a substantial contribution to that figure. The university is also a major employer for the community. Over 1100 full and part- time faculty, professionals, administrators and staff members are employed by the university. Creighton kept downtown A decision was made in the 1950s to keep Creighton in the downtown area, said Fr. Reinert. Although the city is presently in a state of traumatic change, university officials remain confident that the center city will come back and flourish, Reinert said. Creighton will cooperate with plans to make that happen. Omaha City Planner Michael Wiese said Creighton has a positive impact, serving as a northwest anchor for the downtown area. Creighton is an extremely stabilizing in- fluence on the downtown area just by its physical location, Wiese said. Creighton ' s location is important to sur- rounding neighborhoods because the univer- sity is a major consumer of goods and serv- ices, Byrne said. What happens to the neighborhood happens to Creighton. Community ' picks brains ' The community picks the best brains on campus for community planning to serve on city-wide boards, Reinert said. Reinert said the university also represents spiritual values which the community re- spects. The 70 members associated with the Jesuit community and with St. John ' s parish serve as a spiritual powerhouse for the community, he said. A community that has a university or col- lege is a definite asset from the cultural as- pect, Byrne said. Activities ranging from lec- tures to a dance company, from the art gallery to athletics, contribute to community spirit. University supplies resources Reinert said the university serves as a re- source for intellectual growth on a myriad of topics outside of the classroom. For instance, faculty members serve on a speakers bureau, addressing luncheon groups and organiza- tions. The libraries are also used by individu- als outside the university population. Because the Omaha community realizes the contributions the university has made, it reciprocates, Reinert said. He pointed to the physical plant itself as proof of financial and cooperational contributions from the community. Over the past 20 years four fund drives have raised over $150 million. Wealthy indi- viduals in the community have donated large sums and individual business leaders have provided seed money to supplement federal funds to construct buildings. The city has as- sisted the university by closing California street and providing electrical power. New aspect introduced Another aspect of community participation at Creighton was introduced 10 years ago when the Board of Directors was reorganized to include lay persons. Looking toward the future, Wiese said ex- pansion in programs and employment oppor- tunities, combined with development, will further establish Creighton as the northwest anchor to the downtown area. Community leaders recognize that Creighton is important to the development of the city, Byrne said. after the classes — 43 ■-1 CViM - V-.C ' .r- i 44 — after the classes By Teresa Bruns What do you want to do tonight? I don ' t know. What do you want to do? Want to go to the bars? The bars? No one has any trouble under- standing the meaning of bars in this sen- I tence. No one envisions a set of musical notes, an underwater hill of sand or an asso- ciation of lawyers. Bar-hopping doesn ' t call to mind images of ballerinas leaping over their exercise rail either. No, our American society and in particular, college youth, know that a bar is an establishment serving primar- ily alcoholic refreshment. Playwright ' s the first In 1592 an English playwright by the name of Robert Greene was the first to use the word bar to mean a drinking place. In a pamphlet, The Thirde and last part of conny-catching he wrote, He was ac- quainted with one of the servants ... of whom he could have two pennyworth of Rose-water for a peny . . . wherefore he would step to the barre vnto him. Of course, Shakespeare got into the act when he wrote in Twelfth Night : Bring your hand to ' th Buttry barre, and let it drink. It wasn ' t until 1835, though, that the spell- ing of the word became what it is today. Frederick Marryat wrote in Jacob Faithful, He sees the girl in the bar. These are in- teresting conversational trivia, the next time you can ' t think of anything to say. Having satisfied my curiosity in this re- spect, I began to question exactly why people go to the bars. Certainly not for the price — unless you ' re lucky like Greene and just happen to be acquainted with one of the servants who can get you a drink at reduced rates. Seats hard to find As for a bar being. comfortable and relax- ing; many times you can ' t find a seat. You may stand with coat in hand praying that someone won ' t accidently knock your el- bow, causing your beer to spill all over the person next to you — or worse yet, to spill all over yourself. No, there have to be more reasons. I have a theory that besides enjoying a ' Bring your hand to ' th drink or two, people go to the bars to see who is here and to be seen by whoever is there. Now, of course, this checking out the scene is not intended to be obvious. There is a subtle way of looking around, that is not really subtle at all. A favorite is to stand fac- ing your fellow bar-goer. You can both pre- tend to be having a stimulating conversa- tion, but really be looking over each other ' s shoulder. This way both ends of the bar can be watched. ' What are bars like? ' Well what about the bars themselves? What kind of places are they? What do they look like? their atmosphere? In general, I would say there are two types of bars: the neighborhood bar and specialty bars. The neighborhood bar is usually fairly close, so you don ' t have to spend half your evening driving there. It ' s where you can get a cold beer, a comfortable chair and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. A peanut shell or two might fall to the floor, but no one seems to care. Some may have piped or live music, or games like backgammon, pool and foosball, that liven any night on the town. To create a homey setting, many neighbor- hood bars have a TV set. Some have big screens so you can watch the football game or Johnny Carson without straining your eyes. You don ' t have to leave the room to get a beer from the refrigerator, either. The specialty bars operate on a different premise. No only do they try to offer cold beer and a friendly atmosphere, but also an added attraction. The decor, a dance floor, unusual drinks, a theme, a food menu, or a certain type of music will draw a crowd. Specialty bars try to cater to a particular type of person. Depend- ing on one ' s mood, a step into a specialty bar is an entrance to a different world. There are bars that offer a Polynesian flavor, or an ancient time period, or a New England seaport inn that make an evening out seem Uke miles away from Creighton. Year had highlights Creighton ' s 1978-79 school year was not without it ' s bar-goers ' highlights — happen- ings or openings that made a significant change in students ' lives. First, Council Bluffs had traditionally been the place for the freshmen, since Iowa was an 18-year-old state. But the state changed the law and raised the drinking age to 19. Hence, frosh drinkers were thwarted in their pursuit of legally entering a drinking estab- lishment. Production of fake ID ' s became a thriving business. Second, disco mania swept not only Creighton, but Omaha and the country as well. Many a disco lover spent hours and lots of money on dancing lessons and finding the clothes to outfit from head-to-toe in the per- fect disco fashion. Would-be John Travolta ' s seemed to acquire a new personality once they were out under the dance floor lights moving to the disco beat. They tried to make the Latin Hustle work on and off the dance floor. The third highlight has been in existence for a while, but made a healthy revival. Dif- ferent Omaha bars held a Friday afternoon Happy Hour, offering two-for-the-price-of- one drinks and an appetizing array of hors d ' oeuvres. Greene knew the savings of a deal like this as he also got two pennyworth of Rose-water for a peny. Happy Hours are a favorite way to end a day — or begin an evening. Opening of a bar close to campus bearing the school ' s mascot Blue Jay as its name, was a fourth highlight of the year. The Bluejay drew the after-basketball-game crowd or the after-studying drinkers who begin their drinking week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Decorated in early basketball motif, the Bluejay is where old cheerleaders and basketball players never die, they just go up on the wall. As Shakespeare said, Bring your hand to ' th Buttry barre, and let it drink ... or eat or watch or dance . . . Cheers. Buttry Barre ' and bottoms up! Apartment dwellers endure trash, bills, limited parking Jeff Miller, Arts senior, below, gets a kick out of reading obituaries on Saturday nights. The worst thing about living off campus is having to haul laundry up the backstairs to our apartment, according to Sarah Breen, Business senior. But other than that it ' s great! Thirty percent of Creighton ' s stu- dents live off campus, and most ex- perience the same problems — pay- ing the bills, keeping in touch with friends on campus, and finding parking spaces when they get to school. My record so far this year is 25 minutes spent circling the lots be- fore I finally found a space to park — and to get that space I had to fol- low people like a buzzard, Arts senior Melanie Johnson said. Coordinating school and home re- sponsibilities poses difficulties for some off campus students, they dis- cover time that was formerly re- served for study must now be di- vided between cooking, cleaning, shopping and taking out the trash. While many students expect off- campus life to be less expensive than living in the dormitories, they often discover the cost is just as high after adding increased trans- portation and food costs to the rent and utility bills. But for the majority of students the increased responsibilities which accompany off-campus living are compensated for by the increased freedom it permits. I love being able to come home at night and leave school behind, Johnson said. In the dorm I always felt like Creighton was constantly hanging over my head, and now I enjoy what time I spend there a lot more. I can entertain how and when I want to, Breen said. I don ' t have to worry about people being here ' after hours, ' and Fm not held ac- countable to anyone — except maybe my roommate!

Humidity, trenches greet Welcome Week arrivals ■! Emblazoned with Creighton University 1978 Welcome Week for New Students, August 20-28, 1978, the Bluejay blue Welcome Week program was only a Hint of what was in store. Creighton ' s Centennial freshmen and transfers arrived in greater numbers that ever before encounter- ing the traditional humidity, group leaders and timid classmates. Students arrived to find that the 14-foot deep trenches on the streets surrounding campus and the con- struction of the piazza and fountain on California Street provided an ob- stacle course. George Plimpton, the Welcome Week guest lecturer, summed up his impression of the situation by say- ing, There ' s one thing I can tell about t his campus — it ' s not fin- ished yet. Welcome Week provides an opportunity for the new students to become socially and academically oriented to Creighton before having to settle into the library until spring. The week is both a busy and excit- ing time for the entire university and successfully drains everyone ' s reserve of sleep built up during the long, boring summer. 50 — the happenings Left, information booths provide answers for baffled parents and students.

After the academic advising, group leaders spent the afternoons in activities with their freshmen groups. Welcome Week came alive Mon- day night with a wet, wild pool party complete with 66 dripping group leaders and other entertain- ments like relay races. Parents went to a wine and cheese party spon- sored by admissions. Tuesday night new students were introduced to vice at Creighton at the annual Casino Night. In the evening everyone headed to California Street for Disco in the Streets. Transfer students had the opportunity to attend the T-night in the Knothole, the transfer stu- dent kegger. Freshmen, new students and newly arrived upperclassmen danced on Thursday night to the music of Bittersweet in Upper Brandeis. Friday night was a chance to slow down a bit as Creighton students performed in the Knothole at Night at the Bitter Hnd, which was aptly named after five days of constant Welcome Week-ing. Wednesday night began with the New Student Dinner. All new stu- dents dined indoors, in Upper Brandeis, picnic-like, and wound up the meal with a watermelon roll relay race, cake decorating and a frisbee toss. The watermelon roll re- sulted in sore noses and stomachs filled with watermelon for the winners. The New Student Sports Day and Picnic was held Saturday at Elmwood Park followed by evening entertainment in the form of the Welcome Week Outdoor Concert, which occurred indoors due to un- cooperative skies. The Loose Brothers and Brewer and Shipley provided the music. Sunday afternoon freshmen met their upperclass friends at the Freshmen-Friend ice cream social, an event sponsored by the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority to acc]uaint freshmen with upperclassmen. The all-University lecture by George Plimpton capped the week ' s events. Plimpton, the professional ama- teur and practitioner of partici- patory journalism, gave a cokir- ful talk entitled An Amateur among the Pros, which was filled with mild jabs at Creighton and university students in general.

Rainy day fails to dampen picnickers ' fun, appetites Welcome Week ' s annual New Student Sports Day and Picnic at Elmwood Park took place on Satur- day of this week — a Saturday which dawned gray and rainy. However, it was difficult to dampen the enthusiasm of the new students and fraternity men who trekked out to the park. Who can consume 120 pounds of hot dogs, 60 quarts of potato salad, 50 pounds of potato chips, gallons of Saga punch and dozens of cookies and still participate in relay races, an egg toss, leap frog and three-legged races? New students proved they had the ability to enjoy these activities. Freshmen women were given their first chance to decide if up- perclassmen looked better with or without pie in the eye as the pie eating contest turned into pie throwing fun. All in all, it was a fun, food- filled day and a prerequisite to settling back and enjoying the evening ' s concert. The start of the fall semester m- evitably arrived Monday morning, and the newly oriented and re- oriented students alike settled into classes. Martha Arouni, Arts senior and Welcome Week coordinator had said, I think this will be the best Welcome Week ever just before the arrival of the freshmen. Was she prophetic? the happenings — 55 0 ' rp f-ip Above, group leader Jenny Clark, Arts sophomore, demonstrates what Creighton has to offer.

' Good guys in red shirts ' introduce frosh to CU Group leaders — the all-around, do-everything, good guys in their red T-shirts — were in full force dur- ing Welcome Week. On Sunday and Monday as the freshmen arrived, the group leaders directed traffic around Creighton ' s temporary system of moats created by the fountain construc- tion. One leader survived the hot af- ternoon with a six-pack in hand. Other leaders aided in the cam- pus move-in as freshmen arrived with everything from complete sets of the World Book to a year-long supply of Mom ' s cookies. Some of the sweeter male group leaders had to fend off hugs and kisses from doting grandmothers. The Group leaders are trained in a pre-Welcome Week seminar program. They learn group dynamics, T-shirt tailoring and beer drinking. By the time the freshmen arrived, the upperclass group leaders were well-prepared to handle cases of culture shock and any other problems. This year ' s leaders were on hand to clean up after events and still had energy left over to party, to rehearse for the group leader show and to discuss the art of remembering names. Group leaders were also the people who showed freshmen around campus, who helped them prepare for registration, who intro- duced freshmen to other freshmen and who seemed to know every- thing and do everything. A big event for the group leaders was their show. Based on the Cen- tennial theme, it was complete with a macho football player, a commer- cial about a stuffing concoction and a final song and dance routine by the entire cast of group leaders.

ECTIONS !, W  - flW .y. ■ 115121 iB 110 233 LAB ' - ' IBWcc 1;HW215ui B Students battle endless lines, forms at registration Without fail, at the beginning of each semester, registration seems to cause students the greatest grief. Ah, the horror of it! For 1978-79, the same complaint could be heard echoing through the halls, rippling through the lunch lines and filtering through the gym where the bi- annual event is held. Group leaders try to prepare the new students for registration and allay their fears. However, registration veterans in the form of upperclassmen instill fear in their hearts once again. They hear the war stories of how the veterans barely made it through registration of 1976 or of the battle to get a class in spring registration of 1978. Students cast a gloomy picture of the registration experience, but ac- cording to Jack Williams, registrar, the process has been what students want. He said this year it ran as smoothly as possible. Students are one push button away from having a computer, but students still like the option of working out the sections them- selves, Williams said. We ' re using a blend of machin- ery and manual for registration, he added. On registration day, faculty as well as university staff and students helped with the process. All of the services like those of the business office and the department offices were in the gym for the convenience of students so they didn ' t have to run all over campus. 1 think, by and large, students spend a small percentage of total college time at registration, Wil- liams said. Registration has been blown out of proportion. It isn ' t all that bad. Williams added that his office began work on a pre-printed regis- tration form which students can just correct. It will have parents ' names, home address — all the informa- tion students have to write at every registration. The total enrollment for the fall semester was 5,027 with the usual dip in enrollment for spring. The enrollment was above the 1977-78 figures of 4,979 for the fall and 4,753 in the spring.

The 90-foot brick piazza slopes gently towards a pedestal contain- ing a geyser spouting water 15 feet into the air as water flows from seven stylized gargoyles around the centerpiece. At night, underground lighting illuminates the water The nature of the fountain is open, inviting people to touch or walk through the running water — or to just sit and enjoy. The structure is a $150,000 gift of Omaha labor unions commemorat- ing the Creighton Centennial. Spearheaded by members of the Omaha Central Labor Union AFL- CIO, various labor unions, construc- tion trade associations and contrac- tors donated time and materials to the project. Over 300 laborers contributed to the effort, working during evenings and on weekends. Reclaimed street bricks — many of them taken from underneath the present Cali- fornia Street — were used to build the piazza. The piazza became a family proj- ect when children of the workmen participated in the ground-breaking ceremony — symbolizing the workmen ' s contribution to future generations. The piazza and fountain were dedicated on Labor Day, — the ceremony coinciding with the con- clusion of Septemberfest — Oma- ha ' s Salute to Labor The fountain, however, is not yet complete. The pedestal is also designed to hold a sculpture that will become an integral part of the piazza. A nationwide search was held for a professional artist who was com- missioned to build a sculpture de- signed along the theme, The Jesuit Spirit in Education. Top, laborers combine mortar, brick, and manpower in the fountain ' s founda- tion.

Each autumn sorority rushers and rushees abandon ever-present college co-ed diets and prepare for the food and the three mystic queries — What ' s your name?, What ' s your major?, Where are you from? — around which the rush process revolves. One hundred and twelve women took part in this year ' s formal sorority rush, attending the two- week round of parties and meetings, munching and conversing with the members of Creighton ' s four sororities — searching for the group best suited to fill their needs. Fifty-six women chose to pledge either Alpha Sigma Gamma, Delta Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma or Theta Phi Alpha sororities. Rush practices are standardized along guidelines suggested by the National Panhellenic Council. Each group is allowed to sponsor Below, Melany Szudera and Julie Mc- Keon discuss rush.

The main purpose of the rush rules is to prevent misconceptions, Lynne Duren, Arts senior, president of Creighton Panhellenic, said. We don ' t want sorority members giving rushees wrong impressions about other sororities. The rules are designed to avoid what is known as ' dirty rush. ' Most changes simply involved restatements of past rules, Duren said. The old rules weren ' t clearly stated, leading to accidental violations and hard feelings among sororities. Duren said she hopes the revised rules will help prevent misunder- standings and promote the sense of unity throughout the entire Greek system which sororities during rush hope to exhibit. 62 — the happenings Above, Laure Marshall and Carol Hoberg, ASG Pledge Mom, pose for a quick picture.

Held the afternoon and evening of September 30, the event bridged the twilight zone between Sep- tember and October — hence, the label Soctoberfest. Nearly 23 clubs and organizations sponsored carnival booths in an ef- fort to raise money. Enthusiastic en- trepreneurs cried their wares. Some eager Chemistry Club mem- bers even attempted to sell a T-shirt to a professor claiming to work on the fourth (?) floor of Rigge Science building. A hot air balloon provided a Bluejay bird ' s-eye view of the campus while two bands supplied afternoon entertainment. Carnival-goers were also able to relax at the Soctoberfest beer garden in preparation for additional cele- bration at an evening dance featur- ing the band Johnny O. Carnival-goers were also able to relax at the Soctoberfest beer garden in preparation for additional cele- bration at an evening dance featur- ing the band, Johnny O. Johnny O provided music from the ' 50s, ' 60s and ' 70s including rock and disco. The group also featured a laser light show. It ' s a red laser which bounces off the ceiling to the beat of the music. He also has a complete sound sys- tem to go with the music.

The $1.50 contribution for the dance and beer was collected for an SBG scholarship fund in honor of the late Rev. Michael Sheridan, S.J. The event was planned to give Creighton clubs a chance to raise their own money cutting down de- mands from the SBG.

Nick Weber, S.J., and his team of per- formers put on the 8th annual Royal Lichtenstein Circus. Billed as the smallest circus in the world, the Lichtenstein Circus fea- tured magic shows and acts of bal- ancing and juggling within the con- fines of its sole quarter ring. Special appearances were made by a diet-conscious. Tab-drinking monkey, a dog who climbed lad- ders, a greedy begging pony, and a fearless cat, who, assisted by an encouraging shove, leaped through rings of fire. Students were also treated to a fractured fairy tale, narrated by a Japanese leprechaun, telling of two frogs who wanted to see the world. Despite the rainy weather, stu- dents stayed to watch the entire show, relishing the embarrassment of friends called up to assist the circus performers. The other members of the troupe are Mitch Kincannon, who has performed with Weber for three years, and Larry Ryan, an appren- tice workman. I went to the circus when I was five, said Weber, and I never recov- ered from the experience! Weber said he did theater work at graduate school and started a com- munity theater group in San Jose, Calif., where he is based. But these groups weren ' t avail- able to people on the street, he said. To get people on the street, he started a circus based on fables and childhood imagery, he said.

Doughnuts. Yes, that ' s it. Doughnuts. No selfless humanitarian ideals. No burning desire to better mankind. My sorority philanthropies chairman had decried my lack of participation in charitable activities for weeks — to no avail . . . until I saw those doughnuts. Doughnuts and milk I faint at the sight of blood. But nice Red Cross ladies feed you doughnuts and milk when you finish donating — and I have an uncontrollable weakness for doughnuts. Thus, resolving to shut my eyes should any of those dread tubes, needles or sacks of plasma come within view, I plucked up my courage and marched confidently into St. John ' s basement to do my duty and claim my reward. My first true test of willpower came when the nurse asked me how much I weighed. But 1 conjured up a vision of chocolate cov- ered doughnuts and resisted the urge to bolt out of the building. It was a little trying, too, when I had to tell the nurse I ' d been exposed to hepatitis. The green look on her face did little to bolster my flagging confidence. But both of us were reassured when I explained the exposure had taken place over six months ago. I also discovered doughnuts weren ' t the only reinforcement available to me. It was amazing how many friends were there to keep me entertained (and distracted!). ' A marvelous place ' Of course it was a little difficult to converse with a thermometer in my mouth, but those carts were a marvelous place to lay back, relax and catch up on the latest gossip with a friend across the aisle. And when a buddy of mine challenged me to a race to see who could donate blood the quickest and fill their pint sack first, I found that when my pride was at stake, I could even bring myself to take a look at those dreaded tubes and sacks — to check on my pro gress! In fact, the process was, on the whole, so enjoyable, I found myself almost regretting having to leave. (So I ate a few more doughnuts to kill time!) But the warm feeling I felt inside as I was leaving wasn ' t just the result of the heavy di- gestion taking place in my system. No mis- taking it — there really was a warm sense of having done something worthwhile. (Al- though I must admit there was a certain satis- faction in being able to cast the vote for my sorority in the Arts Senate group participa- tion contest that would get the philanthropies chairman off my case!) Certainly a lust for doughnuts isn ' t the only thing motivating students to give blood. Drive participation Organizers next year will again be search- ing for some means of increasing blood drive participation which dropped for the third consecutive year in 1978 — down from 875 pints in 1975 (the last year the Mr. Ugly-Miss Cutie contest was held to promote the blood drive) to 379 pints this year. Whatever solution they come up with, cer- tainly good old-fashioned humanitarianism isn ' t a bad reason to donate — when it ' s coupled with a little positive reinforcement called doughnuts! the happenings — 69 Above, Rick Larson takes a stroll down memory lane as he sets the pace in the tricycle race sponsored by Delta Upsilon.

During the course of Greek Week, students and administrators alike were called upon to engage in a high-speed tricycle race and to test their skill and stamina in an obstacle course competition and upon the seat of a giant teeter-totter. Various organizations also af- forded students the opportunity to consume massive quantities of ice cream or Arby ' s roast beef sandwiches during several eating contests, while the Interfraternity Council conducted a truck stuff for the Red Cross — cramming mas- sive quantities of students into a semi-truck trailer.

The fair was sponsored by the Arts Senate. Even amid gusting winds, partic- ipants had a chance to test their tal- ents in pottery, abstract painting on a mural and printmaking. During the fair, the Rev. Leland Lubbers, S.J., associate professor of fine arts, erected his Inverted Cones structure. The sculpture is made of street car tracks dug up from under California Street during the con- struction of the piazza. The tracks are cemented into the ground, and a cone-shaped hole is dug in the center. The Arts Senate provided funds for workmen and crane rental needed to put the structure up. Lubbers explained that his cones are a model indicating the process of life. Evolution has brought us this far (one cone) and this is how far we must go (the other cone), he said. In late November, Lubbers spoke to a group of students in Kiewit Hall about the meaning of his sculpture. His talk was in response to the peti- tions and controversy brought by the students against the piece. Left, Arts sophomore Terry Schuele casts metal at the art fair.

' ' ■ ' j|, ' .A: ' Bee kef theme around loyalty, The seats were hard, but no one seemed to mind them when the lights dimmed. The actors, the set and the effects created an atmos- phere that made the audience forget the present and drew them back to the Middle Ages in England. It was Becket by Jean Anouilh that held the audience ' s attention. The play was based on the friend- ship between King Henry II and Thomas a Becket. It dramatized their love that en- dured through disagreement. How- ever, it was this love that finally killed through their quarrel over the separation of church and state. Becket was performed in the fall in St. John ' s Church. Bill Hut- son, instructor in Fine Arts, directed the play. He said the church pro- revolves friendship vided a perfect atmosphere and acoustics. St. John ' s created a beautiful at- mosphere, and many of the actual scenes took place in the cathedral, so it was an easy adjustment for the crew, actors and audience, Hutson said. The audience forgot the church environment as the scene changes ranged from a dark, foggy winter ' s day on a deserted field to a warm, bright afternoon in the gardens of the French Palace. Joe Kelly, an Omaha resident, had the title role of Becket. Mike McCandless, Arts senior, played the starring role, Henry II.

His assurances, however, were of little consolation to heads of organi- zations who were ordered at the SBG budget meeting to collect a $5 dues fee from each of their members — and who had their recommended budgets reduced by an equivalent amount if the groups did not collect such fees. Athletic club members also reacted with skepticism to the vice president ' s statement as they watched the SBG cut the recom- mended budgets of all athletic clubs by 50 percent. This year ' s budget meeting — first postponed for two consecutive weeks, and then extended over a period of three weeks — prompted even more controversy than is usu- ally occasioned by the event. Although the SBG overall in- creased group funding by $1,500 over last year, the board reduced its recommended budget by more than $1,600, causing groups whose allo- cations were reduced to suspect the SBG deficit was being made up at their expense. SBG President Paul Langer de- nied charges that the deficit was the cause of the reductions. According to Langer, the SBG cut funds to clubs so that more services could be offered to students as a whole. Most of the money cut was budgeted for what the SBG termed personal trips. The SBG argued that trips which benefit only the particular organization involved, and which do not bring prestige to the e ntire university, should not be funded by the SBG. The SBG suggested groups plan- ning such trips should seek funding from the various academic depart- ments, or raise the money them- selves. The SBG suggested the $5 dues charge as one means of raising such money. Langer said the cuts made in the athletic clubs ' allocations were insti- tuted in an attempt to pressure the athletic department to assume more responsibility for the funding of ath- letic clubs. As a policy, we would like to move away from funding student groups on campus, Langer said. We are not providing services well now because we are tied up in allocating funds to these special interest groups. We should stop squandering activity fees on things that aren ' t our responsibility to fund.

Carole Bean, lecturer in fine arts, leads the Creighton choir in Adoramus Te , bottom. Creighton University and Omaha were, in a very real sense, frontier infants of the late 19th cen- tury and they grew up together. The spirit which gave birth to the en- deavor is every bit as bright today, said the Rev Matthew E. Creighton, S.J., in his inaugural address at the first formal inauguration of a presi- dent in Creighton ' s history. As a newcomer at Creighton University, I may add hopefully, with some clinical detachment, that nowhere does such spirit burn brighter in the city, or in the educa- tional community, he said. Creighton was inaugurated on November 14, 1978, as the universi- ty ' s 21st president before 144 faculty members and 165 delegates from other universities and education- al societies. Creighton said he is optimistic about the future of education in this country. A great deal of common sense is re-emerging in the educational community, he said. People have learned from the mistakes of the recent past and are working out solutions to problems which have never been seen before. The promise in all this is tre- mendous and if the problems are great, they can be met and con- quered for at least a minute by people who work together in a selfless and dedicated way, Creighton said. A medallion of the great seal of the university was presented to the new president. Robert E. Kennedy, president of the university faculty and master of ceremonies, said the medallion will be on permanent display in the president ' s office above an inscribed plaque. Kennedy said that in its 100-year history, Creighton had never had an official symbol of the office of its president. He said it was through the rec- ommendation of the Creighton Cen- tennial Celebration Board that the medallion was introduced. John E. Rice, Omaha attorney and president of the Creighton Univer- sity Alumni Association, spoke for all graduates. The spokesman for the staff was C. Francis Baker, dental prosthetic technician supervisor; for the stu- dent body. Business senior Paul Langer, Student Board of Governors president; and for the faculty, the Rev. Roland J. Reichmuth, S.J., chairman of the Department of Classic and Modern Languages. Following the inauguration ad- dress, benediction was offered by the Rev. James J.

On establishing the farm near Omaha where they could practice a more simple lifestyle, strive for greater self-sufficiency and provide a setting for others to do the same, the Rev. James Datko, OMI, associ- ate professor of philosophy, and two other Oblates named the farm La Esperanza, the Spanish word for hope. We looked at the place in terms of what we wanted to do here, Datko said. We wanted a place for people to get away from the city for a while, a place to find quiet for in- dividual retreat. We wanted to pro- vide the opportunity for people to reflect on the world in terms of how their relationship to it affects their relationship with God. The farm, consisting of 7.5 acres, includes a house, barn and open machine shed which has been con- verted into a retreat house. In this setting for retreat, Creighton students, senior citizens. high school students and CCD di- rectors usually view films dealing with environment or energy, then discuss topics of consumerism and methods of simplifying their own lives. The general theme is to see how we as individuals affect our environment, Datko said. In seeking a simpler way of life, the members of the community grow most of their own food, if they can, Datko said. All plants are grown organically while numerous books on farmhouse shelves pro- vide simpler methods of food prep- aration and preservation. Datko said his goals for the farm are two-fold — to establish a per- manent community, then to try to continue what is being done now, at least for the short-range future. We face the question of finding a direction ourselves, he said. We ' re in a position of beginning to do that now. Current members of the community include Melissa Uhrich, medical technologist, Michael Dal- ton.

Kaminski takes lead in votes, becomes new SBG president Arts junior Paul Kaminski was elected Student Board of Governors president for the 1979-80 school year on March 28 by defeating Jim Schlehuber, vice president for stu- dent affairs. A central issue in the campign was the budgeting of board funds. The issue arose as a result of a $15,000 deficit left by the 1977-78 SBG and the 1978-79 SBG ' s often disputed allocation of funds to clubs. Throughout the campaign, Schlehuber spoke of budgeting as being a difficult matter which, if elected, he would be very careful about. The board needs a clear cut idea of where to go with financing, he said. He suggested the possibility of raising the activiity fee in the future. Kaminski saw a need to re- evaluate club financing by bringing the money closer to the source. This could be accomplished he said, by asking clubs to turn to the respective governing bodies of their colleges for funding. Another issue in the election was the change from the vice president of events to director of programm- ing made at the Feb. 25 Student Board of Governors Corporation Meeting. Schlehuber voted against the change saying that Students of this university aren ' t as blind as most people feel they are and should be able to vote for the events person. He promised, if elected, to watch the change closely to see if it is an improvement. Kaminski was not against the change to director of programming but felt that it was of primary im- portance to examine the experience and ideas of the appointed person. Schlehuber said his most impor- tant goal, if elected, was to uplift the credibility of the board in the eyes of the administration. This could be accompished he said by putting a board member on the University Board of Directors and in attendance at the university vice presidential meetings. Kaminski ' s primary objective, if elected, was to attempt to have the administration working with the students. Too often, he said, the admin- istration issues directives, such as the change in dorm policy, without conferring with the students. The two candidates appeared to be very similar in their views on the issues so that the outcome was a re- flection of whom the student body felt would best put the ideas into ac- tion. the happenings — 93 94 — the viewpoints the viewpoints — 95 ftlb® [paBU© Harold W. Andersen, president of The Omaha World-Herald, visited Creighton ' s campus in September to discuss Free Press, Free People. Andersen discussed the contrast- ing notions of journalism in the United States and the Soviet Union. He presented examples of efforts to restrict freedom of the press as a people ' s right in the Soviet Union and in the U.S. Panel members included: Dr. Douglas Anderson from University of Nebraska at Omaha, Arts senior Brooke Ann Benschoter; James McGaffin, public affairs director of WIWT; Business senior Chris Mc- Lean; Marlyn Petersen, journalism at Midland Lutheran College; and Dan Vnuk, instructor in journalism. Our churches and synagogues should dedicate themselves to peace and its essential basis, justice. We, as individual believers, should dedicate ourselves to God ' s peaceful purpose in our daily lives. This statement was formulated after a panel discussion on world problems held in January. The Rev Darrell Rupiper, O.M.I., Dr. Walter Bacon from University of Nebraska-Omaha, and the Rev. Spil- lane, S.J., assistant professor of political science, came to campus to discuss the statement in February. The panel was sponsored by the Philosophy Society in the Drawing Room. Rupiper, Bacon and Spillane dis- cussed the statement which had been written after an inter-faith prayer for world peace at the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. The statement was sent to President Carter and Congressional Representatives. Creighton ' s panel discussed the positive step of personal support for the ratification of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty and the right for each individual to a secure existence. Women should redefine power for ourselves, the power should be seen in terms of what we can do, not what men have always seen as power, the Rev. Lora Gross- Thamert of Augustana Lutheran Church said at the Future of Women panel discussion in November of 1978. The panel was sponsored by Creighton ' s Student Faculty Forum of the Philopophy Society. Gross Thamert said the future of women depends on the type of power women draw upon. She said most women tend to pull back from power because our society is male oreinted. Other panel members participat- ing in the forum included Arts Junior Kathy Korst; Elizabeth Bor- chers, Omaha attorney and Creighton graduate; Dr. Catherine Flaitz, instructor in pedodontics and Creighton graduate; and Robin Eicher, a third year medical student. Borchers said the future of women in law is very good right now. More women are in the law schools now and women are finding little difficulty in finding jobs when they graduate, she said. Dentistry is another field which is new for women. Two percent of the denhsts in the United States are women, Flaitz said. But in these past few years there has been an in- crease in the female enrollment in dental schools, 13 percent of stu- dents in Creighton ' s dental school are women, she said. The medical field is one which has given women a competitive edge. Women have been raised to be supportive communicators, therefore, they are warmer people and can talk to patients easier, Eicher said. This gives women an edge over men, and it will change the field of medicine in the area of values. Patients will start going to women more because they will be able to see more warmth and feeling which most male doctors do not have, she said. Korst said it is difficult for women today to find out what their role is because girls have always been told to act differently and dress dif- ferently than boys. The panel of respondents at the discussion included Barbara J. Gas- kins, assistant dean of Creighton ' s Law school; Dr. Cynthia A. Walker, assistant professor of medical mi- crobiology; Arts sophomore Ber- nadette Sullivan; and Arts seniors Curtis Mock and Peggy Snodgrass. robin eicher rev. lora gross-thamert 96 — the viewpoints dr. waiter bacon richard spillane, s.j. kathy korst chris mclean the viewpoints — 97 The Rev.

Leland Lub- bers, S.J., associate professor of Fine Arts, raised a wood and metal sculpture on the lawn of the Fine Arts Building. His work, titled In- verted Cones, caused quite a stir among students. Letters poured into the Creightonian expressing approval or disapproval. A petition was circulated to have the sculpture removed. In response to the petition and controversy brought by the stu- dents. Lubbers scheduled a talk on Nov. 30. Twenty-five to thirty stu- dents attended the talk held in the Kiewit Hall recreation room. I think my explanatory remarks showing the philosophical attitudes about works with this kind of at- titude to the universe in slide form were very well received, Lubbers said. Even with this opposition, how- ever. Lubbers was both amazed and pleased with the student recaction. I ' m glad the students are begin- ning to think more and react to things which they don ' t like or un- derstand, he said. If the students who were at the presentation are any type of representative body, I think they will understand the artwork more now. Apparently though if an indi- vidual ' s artwork is displayed in a gallery, it must be all right, because Lubbers ' showing in the University Gallery in September caused no controversy and seemed to be well received. Upon entering the main show- room of the gallery you found your- self at the starting point of a spiral of metal sculpture. It seemed as if you were in the midst of old animal traps, cages and primitive churns. Most of the pieces were boxes with cylindrical weights mounted above. Additions such as lattice work and spherical growths ap- peared, and the works became larger as they neared the spiral ' s center. In the small showroom there were more decipherable forms of Lub- bers ' creations such as doodles and scribblings on huge sheets of can- vas. Here one was acquainted with the artist as he spoke of beauty, real- ity and creativity. In this room Lubbers gave us a world to think about — everything from mankind to air, which was in- geniously demonstrated with a fan, a rock, shutters and a windmill. On one of his canvas scratch pads. Lubbers wrote sculpture equals thought, and this seemed to be true of his gallery showing. For the viewer.

Pixley, the Surgeon General of the Army, vis- ited Creighton in February. His visit was the highlight of the Tenth Enrichment Seminar, Sponsored eacy semester by the Military Sci- ence department. Pixley spoke to students about medical careers in the armed serv- ices. He discussed what types of jobs are available and which areas are most competitive. There are more opportunities in the army for medical personnel now than in previous years, mainly because of the discontinuation of the draft, Pixley said. Now the Army has to recruit volunteers to fill positions. During his three day stay, Pixley met members of faculty and admin- istration of the various departments at Creighton, and was given a tour of Creighton ' s facilities. He de- scribed them as magnificent, truly outstanding medical educational in- stitutions. Pixley ' s stay ended with a semi- nar whose theme was Contribu- tions of the Army Medical Depart- ment to Greater Society and Health Care Careers. The Surgeon Gen- eral spoke and served on a panel with administration and faculty from the health science schools at Creighton. Who is Leonard Nimoy? He is a writer, photographer, director and in March was Theo Van Gogh in his multi-image production of Vin- cent. Omaha offered the production at Joslyn Art Museum Mar. 8-10 and afforded students the opportunity for some different theater fare. In Vincent Nimoy painted a portrait of Van Gogh through letters written by Vincent to his brother Theo. The play opens a week after Vm- cent has died and Theo is now dealing with some of the questions that have come out of the relation- ship, Nimoy said in an interview. Theo has asked the audience to come to the theater to give him a chance to say things about his brother that he did not say at the funeral. During the show, a display of Van Gogh ' s painHngs was projected on multi-image screens behind the ac- tion of the play. I felt that to do a play about a painter without giving some visual sense of his work would be cheating the audience, Nimoy said. I decided we had to show some of his work so that the audience could feel the impact of the work as well as the words. Nimoy served as writer, director and star of the show. Stephen Lewis, a leader of the New Democratic Party (NPD) in Canada, spoke Mar. 21 on Utopian Vision: Welfare and Nationalized Medicine in the Canadian State. Lewis said that in some parts of Canada the idea of private hospitals disappeared approximately 30 years ago. The program began in the Sas- katchewan province and it was so successful that the rest of Canada ' s provinces followed suit, he said. I think the program is so well ac- cepted because the right to health is a basic right, every individual should have it, Lewis said, and be given the right to have health even if they cannot afford it. Lewis said everyone belongs to the health plan in Canada and doesn ' t pay anything for any medi- cal procedure. Doctors receive a fee from the government for their serv- ices. The doctors have done ex ceed- ingly well, because everything he does is paid for. The doctors receive 100 percent of what they bill, Lewis said. The state has not intruded in the doctor-patient relationship and doc- tors work in privacy and confi- dence, according to Lewis. From time to time this plan has received opposition from political parties, but it has never been de- feated. The plan is growing and ex- panding. In some provinces it includes dental care, hearing aids and other medical needs, he said. I ' ve lived with public health care in Canada for a long time, and it is beyond my imagination how any country can exist with a private health program. Lewis said there is a definite pos- sibility that the United States would develop a nationalized health pro- gram. He said he wouldn ' t be sur- prised if President Carter presented a health care plan to the nation be- fore the next election. It will be a very attractive plan to the public, he said. The popula- tion in the United States is a great plus in developing this kind of plan. It. gen. Charles c. pixley i j j 100 — the viewpoints Stephen lewis the viewpoints — 101 Above, students examine a drawing of Mao by artist Andy Warhol at the opening of Drawings Since 1960 in September. Gallery showings broaden students ' imagination, intellect The Department of Fine and Per- forming Arts, since its inception in 1965, has been interested in the exhibition of art, Alan Garfield, University Gallery director and assistant professor of fine arts, said. The University Art Gallery func- tions to provide its students experi- ences of the imagination as well as the intellect, which enlarge upon classroom learning and which apply to the critical realities of life, he said. The first show of the season in the University Gallery was the Rev. Leland Lubbers, S.J., with an open- ing on Sept. 6. Lubbers, called a conceptual art- ist, created a sort of hierarchy or growth process with sculptures that were placed in a spiraling exhibit. For the viewer. Lubber ' s work provoked thought with its intricate appearances and endless number of possible meanings. According to Garfield, Drawings Since 1969, which opened on Sept. 30, marked the most impressive show in Creighton ' s history. World famous artists such as Glaus Oldenberg, Any Warhol, and Mel Ramos, as well as a few Ne- braska artists, were represented by their drawings. The drawings were examples of abstract impressionism, a response to the late ' 50s; pop art, a form which uses everyday elements, such as soup and deodorant; and concep- tual art, which focuses on processes instead of results. The reason I organized a show like this is because I wanted to show students what ' s been happening in their lifetime, Garfield said. Hilton Kramer, New York Times art critic, lectured on The Nature of Contemporary Drawing, in con- nection with the gallery opening. On Nov. 5 the gallery opened an exhibit of sculptures by Edward Dwight. Dwight attempted to estab- lish a visual record of the westward expansion of blacks. Garfield said he organized the show to expose students to achievements in the field of black art. We ' ve always recognized our duty to work with the community and to become an integral part of it and because we exist on the edge of the black section, if there is such a thing, of Omaha, it ' s a good idea to become aware of black aesthetics. I choose Dwight, Garfield said, because he has achieved visually through sculpture what Alex Haley accomplished with words in Roots — a masterful, definitive study of the history of blacks in America. The University Gallery ' s final show of 1978 was the BFA show featuring graduating seniors Peggy Reinecke and Jane Hoesing. Entitled Portals, the show vis- ually told of the young artists ' growth. Tim Norris in an Omaha World-Herald art review wrote that the work showed balance and drive, like a well-controlled body. At times it seems strained or flabby. That is some of the joy of a student show: it both ends and introduces ideas. It promises more. On Jan. 26 Frances Kraft, former chairman of the fine arts depart- ment at Creighton, opened her show in the University Gallery. Garfield said that Kraft ' s paint- ings maintained external signifi- cance, and yet at the same moment operated in the inner secret, psychological environment of the artist. The Faculty Art Show opened on Feb. 28. Garfield said those in the show were artists first, then teachers. Garfield said that the show gave the faculty a chance to answer to the students, as well as an addi- tional tool for teaching in their re- spective fields. The show featured works of vari- ous media from the Rev. Don Doll, S.J., Jim Butkus, Rich Janda, Bob Bosco, Alan Garfield, Jerry Horning and the Rev. Leland Lubbers, S.J. Catalogs for each of the Univer- sity Gallery ' s show were created by art students in connection with their class work. 102 — the viewpoints Students were exposed to drawings by other famous artists including Claus Old- enberg and Mel Ramos, left.

Stone concerning the effects of the Bakke Case. Stone was the feature speaker at Bakke and Affirmative Action: Ethical Questions for Higher Educa- tion, a lecture and panel sponsored by the Institute on Alienation. Stone is general counsel of the American Association of University Professors and a professor of law at the Uni- versity of Illinois. The Bakke Case concerns a suit filed by Allen Bakke against the medical school at the University of California at Davis. Bakke contends he was a victim of reverse discrimi- nation because of the school ' s Affirmative Action program. Stone said there is much debate over the meaning of the case and that it is a difficult and complex sub- ject to speak on. The Bakke case makes few friends and leaves few friends, he said. The subject matter has easily as much emotional content as intel- lectual content. Stone said the U.S. Supreme Court offered three different opin- ions concerning the meaning of the Bakke case. Four judges said the case was not a constitutional matter and should be decided by Civil Rights Act of 1964. Four judges said the equal pro- tection clause of the 14th Amend- ment deals more directly with the case. The ninth judge used a com- bination of the two for his opinion. Stone said these interpretations by the court will lead to many more suits in courts throughout the coun- try with various interpretations of the issue. The underlying principle of many affirmative action programs around the country is the notion of a national racial debt to which repa- ration must be made, Stone said. Some people feel that racial dou- ble standard should be used to re- duce this debt, according to Stone. In the following panel discussion, Dr. Joseph Holthaus, dean of the School of Medicine, said, Creighton has never had a quota system and does not anticipate hav- ing one. He said the school has ac- cepted students with the lower test scores and QPAs than some of those rejected. Other members of the panel were Dan Garcia, second year medical student. Dr. Richard Shugrue, pro- fessor of law, and Bradley Munn, chairman of the affirmative action program at the University of Ne- braska. On Nov. 13, noted conservative William F Buckley, Jr., lectured in Brandeis Student Center as part of Creighton ' s Inauguration Week Activities. Buckley is perhaps best known for his television program, Firing Line. Some of his guests have been President Carter, Daniel Ellsberg, former president Gerald Ford, and Eugene McCarthy. He edited the National Review, a magazine he founded in 1955 and since 1962, has written a weekly syndicated col- umn, On the Right. Buckley is the author of over 20 books, including God and Man at Yale, his first book and published while he was still in undergraduate school, and his more recent work, Stained Glass. Buckley said that college may be a waste of time for some people. You have 15 percent who are going to college wasting their time, he said. Unless the time they spend in college is devoted to the acquisition of skills, there is no point in asking someone who has no faculty for abstract thought to spend time on abstract studies. Buckley said that 40 percent of the American people go to college, but only 25 percent have an I.Q. which by common acceptance equips them to do college work. In his lecture, Buckley discussed six different topics including the re- surgence of conservatism in Amer- ica and the elimination of the progressive nature of income tax through legal reform. When did Jimmy Carter, brother Billy, Menacham Begin and Anwar Sadat visit Creighton ' s campus? When comedian David Frye arrived in April, he brought them along.

He entertained the crowd in Upper Brandeis with his cast of characters which includes Richard M. Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Nelson Rockefeller and William F.

The realm of transcendence on Man, call it love, compassion, energy, silence, peace void, space or God, with its thousand names is that which transcends everything in him, said Placide Gaboury, S.J. Gaboury spoke March 21 in Upper Brandeis about Art, Spritu- ality and Culture. He talked from a spiritual point of view about how spirit applies to culture and how art can be the realm of the spiritual. A man of substance is a man of compassionate understanding, but also of character fully reliable — fully real, Gaboury said. Gaboury called spirituality the experience of the transcendent. The transcendent or the higher self, is the primordial, the original in man, he said. It is eternal, ever living, non-changing, non-judg- mental, wise, pure, peaceful. Man is endowed with a divine dimension, according to Gaboury. He sees the three levels of man as the physical, the mental and the spiritual. He called the spirit the realm of the higher self. Gaboury said the ego of the ex- terior man wants to stop time and treasure safely what is decaying. Ego is also ignorance, he said. As long as ego is ignorance, not il- literacy, it is not knowing the mean- ing of our life or confusing the im- pertinent with the person. Sister Thea ' s program made a very pleasant evening, Don Gibbs instructor in Modern Languages, said. She encouraged the people to join in a sing-a-long, and it brought some real spirit to the evening. Gibbs was the host of the program. Sister Thea Bowman performed in the Brandeis Student Center Draw- ing Room Feb. 28. She has gained wide acceptance for her work in multi-cultural awareness through literature and music. Bowman is noted for her discussions on the Negro spiritual, the black man ' s ear- liest literary contribution to the American culture. Sister sang songs for the hour long program, Gibbs said. Then she gave a little talk on the history behind them. They were centered around the theme of freedom. Bowman is a Mississippi native. She has studied at Viterbo College in Wisconsin, Catholic University, Oxford and the University of Mis- sissippi. She teaches English at Viterbo. Egypt and Israel have ' passed ' the point of no return on th e way to peace, according to former Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin delivered the 25th annual Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit honorary society address. I speak as an Israeli, he said, 1 don ' t pretend to be objective. Ra- bin said he did not represent the Israeli government here, but that he felt he expressed the mainstream of thinking in Israel. It will take more years to build relations of peace between the two peoples, he said, because peace is peace between people not between diplomats. Rabin discussed the conflicts between Israel and the Arab coun- tries that exist today in the light of the history of the territory. He said the Arab-Israeli conflict is unique in that the Arabs want the total elimination of Israel. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt is the only leader of the Arab countries of Jor- dan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt who accepts the existence of Israel as an independent state as a fact. Sadat can ' t convince his Arab colleagues to join with him, he said. After World War II the Arabs would not agree to the United Na- tions partitioning plan to split British Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, Rabin said. He said the Arabs brought on the Palestinian refugee problem them- selves by initiating war at that time and have maintained it by not ac- cepting the Palestinian refugees as the Israelis have accepted the Jewish community refugees. Rabin said the nature of peace is important. Peace must be nego- tiated, agreed to, signed and maintained by those engaged in the war and cannot be imposed from the outside. And the use of force as an instrument of solving the differ- ences must be eliminated. Solutions to the differences, he said, must be brought by peaceful methods. 106 — the viewpoints 107 108 — the viewpoints Year of the Child program discusses children ' s needs In recognizing 1979 as the Inter- national Year of the Child, Creighton University sponsored a two-day program in February. The program featured national as well as local experts on children in- cluding Dr. Alvin Poussaint, psychiatrist and author of Why Blacks Kill Blacks and Black Child Care, and John Ciardi, poet and contributing editor to the Saturday Review. Dr. Robert Coles, child psychiatrist, was scheduled to speak, but bad weather prevented his coming. The International Year of the Child was declared by the United Nations to focus attention and con- cern on today ' s children. The recog- nition of the rights of children include the right to affection, love and understanding; to adequate nutrition and medical care; to free education; to learn to be a useful member of society and to develop individual abilities; and to enjoy these rights, regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national, or so- cial origin, among others. Opening remarks for the con- ference were given by the Rev. Matthew E. Creighton, S.J., presi- dent of the university, and Dr. Elizabeth Dahl, assistant professor of psychology and program chair- man. Topics that were covered during the two days included Nutrition — the Basic Key to a Child ' s Human- ity; Development of Pride in a Name and Nationality; Develop- ment of Adequate Skills in Rural Nebraska Settings; Communicating to Children Affection, Love and Understanding; Bringing up Chil- dren in a Spirit of Peace and Univ- ersal Brotherhood; Providing for Special Care of Handicapped Chil- dren; and Providing a Child with the Opportunity to Develop Indi- vidual Abilities. Also scheduled during the con- ference was an art exhibit by stu- dents throughout the state showing their impressions of My Life in the Year 2000 and an essay contest with the theme What It Means to Live in Nebraska. Poussaint lectured during an eve- ing program at the Brandeis Student Center. His topic was The Black Child and the Development of Posi- tive Self Concept. A question and answer period followed Poussaint ' s lecture. Ciardi led a workshop called The Art of Teaching Children to Create and Recreate: Poetry is Fun. A group of Omaha elementary school children talked to Ciardi during the workshop. Poems don ' t always have to mean something, they just have to be the language dancing around, Ciardi said. Using personal experiences and his poems as examples, Ciardi talked to the students about usuage and the correct way to read and write a poem. If you want to write, you have to learn what a pleasure it is to change what you ' ve written to make it better, he said. He posed many of his questions and lessons for the children in story form. 1 don ' t want you to answer all of my questions now, Ciardi said. Save them and think about them and use what you ' ve learned in your future writing. Faculty that participated in the conference from Creighton include the program chairman.

Kramer came to Creighton for an art symposium on the gallery show- ing of Drawings Since 1960, a dis- play honoring Creighton ' s 100th an- niversary. The show included works by Andy Warhol, Claus Oldenberg, James Rosenquist, Larry Rivers, Wil- lem de Kooning and Hans Hof- mann. Kramer ' s lecture was on The Nature of Contemporary Drawing. Appearing on a panel discussion with Kramer was John Nelson of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery in Lincoln, Frank Limone of the Des Moines Art Center, Robert Therien of Midland Lutheran College in Fremont and Dorothy Metzger Habel of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. People say at times that I make or break artists ' careers, Kramer said. It ' s not at all that easy. I can write a favorable review at one show, and it will sell out. I can give good notice to another and, the art- ist won ' t sell a thing. Publicity alone can build a reputa- tion, and Kramer didn ' t deny that he had a hand in that. But increas- ing interest in art has encouraged other critics, and Kramer said too many persons contribute to an art- ist ' s public success or failure to allow a single king-maker. Kramer has more than 30 years ' experience as an art critic, although his formal training was in English and not art. But growing up among artists in Gloucester, Mass., and finding his friends in art galleries of Syracuse University, Columbia and the Uni- versity of Indiana where he at- tended school, contributed to his art knowledge. Notebooks he kept after returning to New York in 1952 led to articles for art magazines and eventually, to a job with Arts Digest, which he helped turn into Art Magazine. It was just a series of accidents, he said, lucky ones for me. As a critic, Kramer said he prefers the outstretched hand to the fist. Unless you detest something, it ' s better to be low-key, he said. Try to give an audience an idea of what they will see. For all his moderation, though, Kramer didn ' t advocate softness. When it comes to criticism, he said, you ' ll find you can ' t hide your feelings. It ' s better to be on the attack. Doris Hays, who won first prize at the Internahonal Competition for Interpreters of New Music in Rot- terdam, gave a lecture and a piano performance at Creighton in Oc- tober. Her lecture topic was Women Composers. Following her performance in Rotterdam, Hays received a number of concert invitations throughout Europe. Her performances include the John Cage Prepared Piano Con- certo with the Residence Orchestra of the Hague; premiering American piano works at the Como Festival and the Arte Viva Series in Italy; at International Composer ' s Week in Holland; and numerous radio con- certs in Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia and Holland. She also worked with the Atlanta Ballet composing music featuring string quartet, flute and tape for a st ory ballet. Hays is a nahve of Tennessee and began music studies at Chat- tanooga. She spent three years at the Munich Musik Hochschule on fellowships from the Bavarian Ministry of Culture. She also served as Artist in Residence with the Georgia Council for the Arts.

Corsini discussed the philosophy of the Italian Communist party. He is the officer for cultural affairs for the party and teaches literature at Salerno. Corsini said the Italian communist party plays according to the rules — within the rules of Italian politics.

When Plimpton performed as a percussionist for the New York Phil- harmonic Orchestra, conductor Leonard Bernstein bestowed on him the title professional-amateur, noting, He did very well for an amateur, but then, that ' s his profes- sion, isn ' t it? Plimpton said his work requires that he enter into other people ' s occupations very briefly in or der to sit down and write books and articles. Plimpton ' s brand of participatory journalism led to his involvement in a variety of sports. He has pitched in Yankee Stadium, boxed Archie Moor, played quarter- back for the Detroit Lions, played basketball for the Boston Celtics, played in three professional golf tournaments and was goalie for the Boston Bruins hockey team. He once explained his athletic stunts saying, Lm a writer, not an athlete. Most real athletes are not articulate enough to write a genuinely good story I just bridge the gap. In his first foray beyond athletics, Plimpton played the triangle with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He said he found this to be his most frightening adventure. In music you can ' t make a mis- take, he said. All sports are pred- icated on the idea that someone is going to make a mistake, but in music you can ' t make a mistake. If you do, you destroy a piece of art. Plimpton ' s interest in participa- tory journalism began when he was a student at Harvard Univer- sity. In order to write for the college humor magazine. Harvard Lampjoon, he was required to undergo an initiation ceremony. Plimpton ' s task was to run in the 26-mile Boston Marathon. Since his editors didn ' t stipulate that he start at the beginning of the race, he began it a block and a half from the finish line. Why does he perform athletic stunts, knowing he will not do well and be humiliated? Plimpton said, I ' m doing it as a writer. It doesn ' t make any dif- ference how bad I do just as long as I can write about it. Any astronomer is willing to say the universe is teeming with life, Dr J. Allen Hynek said to a capacity crowd in Upper Brandeis Set. 20. Hynek is a professor of astronomy at Northwestern and director of the Center for UFO Studies. Encounters with UFOs can be on three levels, according to Hynek. An encounter of the first kind is close but nothing happens. In the second kind, a physical mark is left. And of course, an encounter of the third kind means that creatures are actually seen, he said. Hynek worked with Steven Spiel- berg on the making of the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. As technical adviser on the film and contributor of its title, Hynek ' s input was considered essen- tial in giving the film a realistic edge based on documented cases. There is a strange thing about UFOs. They are isolated in space and time, they are seen locally ad they don ' t last long. Five to ten minutes is a long time, Hynek said. The most common response I hear from people is that they have never seen anything like it before. There are ten billion known galaxies in our universe, Hynek said. The possibility of other life forms is a genuine possibility indeed. Talk show host Phil Donahue sur- prised Creighton in early October with a quick visit to campus. He was in Omaha Oct. 4 to help dedicate the Boys Town Institute. I ' m sort of glad I ' m not a college student today I think the pressures are much greater, he said to a ciDwd of over 200 students at Rigge Plaza. Following an interview by Heather Harden of KETV television, students were invited to question Donahue. The subjects ranged from favor- ite guests to the Equal Rights Amendment. Donahue said he believes there is a lot of bureaucracy in college today. I think of all the IBM cards with all of the punch holes and lines, and the catalogs and brochures, and you get a half a credit for this lab and a lab credit for that, Donahue said. I think education ought to be more fun than it is today. the viewpoints — 113 The Greeks ' , p .ir. vx i -. 2 i: iJP ' ■-; the greeks — 1 1 5 Above, Debbie Donovan works at the Theta car wash.

Panhellenic Council fosters achievement, communication The Panhellenic Council is an or- ganization to develop and maintain high standards of achievement for campus sororities and to facilitate inter-sorority communication. The council is composed of two representatives elected from each of Creighton ' s four sororities — Delta Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha and Alpha Sigma Gamma. This year council stressed Greek unity by participating in Greek Week activities and philanthropic events such as the Arts Senate Canned Food Drive and Honey Sunday. The council helped to organize rush activities including Greek Sing, formal teas and preference parties and planned the Panhellenic dinner-dance held in February. Officers included Lynne Duren, president; Joanne Weithers, vice president; Lee Brockmeyer, secre- tary; Kathy Slevin, treasurer; and Chris Murphy, historian. Fall ' truck stuff ' highlights IFC events for 1978-79 Traditionally, the Inter-Fraternity Council has served as the organiz- ing and governing body for all fraternity rush events. This year, however, the IFC also conducted community and campus service projects. A fall truck stuff organized by fraternity pledges for the Red Cross earned $600. Greek Week, an annual week of fraternity and sorority sponsored events, featured an all- Greek Mass, eating contests, and relay and trike races. Proceeds from the events were donated to charity. Most of the six fraternities also sponsored or took part in Welcome Week activities for freshmen. The third annual SBG-IFC spon- sored Hayrack Ride was held during Greek Week at the Shady Lane Ranch. The IFC is composed of six Creighton fraternity presidents and six elected representatives. Mod- erator for the IFC is the Rev. John Schlegel, S.J.

' , ■ ive departmer After a couple of years of reorgan- ization, Creighton ' s Athletic Depart- ment added only one new face in 1978-79. And while that face was new to the staff, it was very familiar to most Creighton people. Former Bluejay basketball stand- out Randy Eccker joined Joan Boc- kenstedt, Gary Major and Ted Lipari as a graduate assistant in the Kiewit Center. While in the position he worked on his master ' s degree in physical education at the University of Ne- braska at Omaha and was an assist- ant coach for the Bluejay basketball squad. Eccker declined an offer to play basketball for Athletes in Action, an amateur basketball team, to return to Creighton. He would like to coach on the coUege level after he completes his graduate work. He thought the experience at Creighton would be a good background for a future coaching job. The department almost experi- enced a major shakeup when it ap- peared Tom Apke might leave after the 1977-78 basketball season. Pur- due, Cincinnati and other schools expressed an interest in the Bluejay coach. But he decided to stay at Creighton despite prestigious job possibilities. I like it here, Apke said, and I ' m not ready for a move yet. Ladyjay teams saw continued success as Mary Higgins, Karen Bar- low and Gaye Kinnett worked to bring talented female athletes into an improving program. Dr. Tom Baechle continued to up- grade the physical education pro- gram and the Kiewit Physical Fit- ness Center continued to run smoothly under the direction of Mike Leighton.

Randy Eccker . Wayne Groves . . . At first glance the list may read like a Bluejay basketball Hall of Fame list. But look again. All of the players were a part of Creighton ' s intramural program in 1978-79. These are the standout players — the players that generate the greatest fan interest — but they are not really the students toward which the program is aimed. When one thinks of intramural sports, a more leisurely attitude should jump to mind. For instance, the intramural battlefield can be a proving ground for a frustrated high school player. Most intramural games are more of a study in incompetence, rather than an artistic athletic achievement: The shirts m ight win on a relatively fast break because the skins are too tired to chase after the bouncing ball ... A long fly ball that gets over the left fielder ' s head and seems to roll for a quarter-of-a-mile may produce the winning run on the softball diamond . . . There is also a serious part to the intramural sports program. The intramural director rates the Top Ten teams in each sport and at the end of each season there is al- ways a battle for the All-University Championship. But only a handful of the teams that compete are a part of the tour- nament. Most team members really have no great thoughts of being in- volved in the tournament action. They are in the competition mostly for fun and recreation. A relaxing Softball game can be an excellent study break during a week full of tests. Intense concentration is the key in this play, left.

Ladyjays bring home first collegiate volleyball trophy The Creighton Ladyjay Volleyball Team started its season with a hard-fought, yet promising match, with Doane College. The team ' s po- tential had obviously been im- proved by good recruiting; the squad as a whole looked better than ever. Leading the way with excellent spiking were first-year players Diane Steffensmeier, Kim Egr and Joanne German, as well as veterans Anne Timmerman and Mary Beth Eikmeier. But the teams ' youth and lack of playing time together proved to be an obstacle. Matches were lost in three games, by close margins. The potential was evident, but the squad needed to put it all together. Competing in the Briarcliff Invita- tional Tournament, the Lady Jays took third place out of eight teams, giving Creighton its first intercol- legiate volleyball trophy. The team went on to defeat Bellevue, but lost to UNO and Concordia. The season continued with many bright spots, including two wins over arch-rival Nebraska Wesleyan and victories over Loyola of Chi- cago and Xavier of Ohio in the Mid-west Catholic University Tour- nament held at Lewis University in Joliet, 111. By the time the State Tournament rolled around. Coach Karen Barlow felt her team could place first in the competition. The team entered the tournament with a 13-11-1 record. The tournament proved to be a disappointment as the Ladyjays dropped three in a row. With all but two members of the team returning, Creighton ' s vol- leyball squad can be expected to be very strong during the upcom- ing years. 1 1 t m m the pacesetters — 149 Linda Lindaver, below, strains for the volleyball, while |o Ann German prepares to cover her.

Timmerman, a native of Breese, 111., said in her four years she has seen the Ladyjay team grow. The talent is a lot better now. The scholarship program has had something to do with it, she said. The women ' s program here will definitely get stronger Timmerman, a spiker for the team, said that when she arrived at Creighton she decided to try out for the team because she had always enjoyed sports and felt it would be a good way to get involved. didn ' t know if I ' d make it, she said. After I did, I realized it was a responsibility and a commitment to myself and the team. Bintz, a Biology major from In- dianapolis, Ind., said she came from four years of varsity volleyball in high school to CU with the idea of trying out for the Ladyjays. Bintz said the team has come a long way from her first days as a member. Coach Barlow has made a real difference in the competitive level and in the real drive of the team, she said. Because of the excellent recruiting and with the scholarship program, I would say the potential has doubled. 1 50 — the pacesetters ' 1 N I • f Lady lays, above, prepare for the oppo- sitions serve.

Arts junior Jim Deline said. The rowing world is a close group after a regatta. All the teams got together and had a party. Deline was the captain of the crew team this year. There was basi- cally an eight-man team that rowed in the spring and fall seasons. The Creighton crew does what is called sweep rowing, Deline said. Eight men are in the shell each with one oar, four port and four starboard oars. Crewing is harder than it looks, he said. Most people think that you can just get in a boat and row. But the boat is 65 feet long and only two feet wide at the widest part. It ' s easily thrown off keel and it takes a lot of concentration, precision, tim- ing and team work to keep the boat upright. This year Creighton and Univer- sity of Nebraska-Lincoln hosted their first regatta at Carter Lake. Be- sides Lincoln and Creighton, Ok- lahoma, Wichita and Minnesota par- ticipated in the race. Both men and women ' s races were held in varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen classes. Creighton placed second in the freshmen sweep rowing race and third out of five in the junior varsity class. Carter Lake is the best body of water for rowing in the Midwest, Deline said. It has a 2000-meter course, perfect for the all-out sprint that the crew does. On April 28, a regatta was held in Madison, Wis., with 18 to 20 crews participating. Deline said that this race was the focus of the whole season. Bill Godfrey, an employee of the Leo A. Daly, Co., and a member of the crew that once won the nation- als, was the coach for the fall sea- son. The Rev. John Schlegel, S.J., assistant professor of political sci- ence, was the faculty moderator Above, the crew rows to the finishing line.

I ' m not crazy about the idea of trying to get out of Creighton. Brosnihan, along with Mike Caruso and graduate assistant Randy Eccker, are assistant coaches for the varsity basketball team. All three are Creighton graduates. I really like it here, Brosnihan said. I ' ve been on this campus since 1949 when I started high school at Creighton Prep. He graduated from the university in 1958. After graduation, Brosnihan coached at Creighton Prep for 13 years. He guided the team to two state championships during his stay. The other full-time Bluejay assist- ant is Mike Caruso. He is a 1971 Creighton graduate. Caruso was recruited out of San Francisco by the Bluejays and was known for his excellent free throw shooting as a player. Graduate assistant Randy Eccker completes the coaching staff. He was the point guard on last year ' s Bluejay squad and is from Den- ver, Colo. A lot of places treat you like a ' go-fer, ' but the coaches here treat me as an assistant coach, he said. I ' m getting a chance to put some- thing back into Creighton Univer- sity and Omaha since everyone was so good to me during my playing days. 1 56 — the pacesetters Left, Jim Haus jumps for Creighton.

Marquette ' s Bernard Toone is upset after being penalized for a charg- ing foul, below. In most Creighton brochures about the basketball program, the family atmosphere that surrounds the team and its fans is always prominently mentioned. Some people may be skeptical about that atmosphere being as pronounced as the Athletic Department says it is. But it is just this atmosphere that convinced Dennis Rasmussen to at- tend the Hilltop. He said the people associated with the team, the coaches and the players all helped him make the de- cision to plav for the Bluejays. The people 1 met here, like Doc (Dr. Lee Bevilacc]ua, team physician) and Irma (Trambauer, food service manager and team sweetheart) was great and really made me feel com- fortable, he said. All of the coaches were straight forward and really seemed interested in me. A disappointment for four Bluejays turned out to be a blessing for Rasmussen as he started in the Bluejays first game of the year, while four players sat out with an NCAA suspension. He scored eight points in the game but was delegated to a substi- tute ' s role in later games, as the Bluejay regulars returned from their suspensions. He did pick up play- ing time in 16 games on the way to a 2.6 points per game average. The playing time proved very valuable as he moved into an impor- tant role as the sixth man on the Bluejay lineup. He averaged about seven points and three rebounds per game. Rasmussen appears happy with his decision to attend Creighton. There are just so many advantages to going to a small college with a major college program, he said. 1 58 — the pacesetters John C.

Johnson has always been a very steady basketball player for Creighton since his freshman year in 1975, but he has rarely received the attention he deserved. Many people called him one of the top defensive guards in the country. He was also a top offensive threat as he led the Bluejays in scor- ing his senior year and quietly moved into fourth place on the Bluejay all-time scoring list. Many times during the Bluejays 14-12 regular season campaign, Johnson was the obvious calming influence for the group of young Jays on the court. He ran the Bluejay offense from his guard posi- tion and his jump shot from the baseline kept the Hilltoppers in many ballgames. His career is dotted with high- lights that took place in the Civic Auditorium. He scored 35 points his sophcmore year against the cross- town rival the University of Ne- braska at Omaha. His most outstanding defensive game was when he shut out Maurice Cheeks of West Texas State. Johnson ' s last regular season at the Civic Auditorium was an emo- tion filled contest for the man who had played so many games before an Omaha crowd in both his high school and college career. When I fouled out it really hurt ' he said. I felt that if we lost it might be the last time I would get a chance to play in Omaha. The Jays went on to win the game and Johnson earned another chance to play in Omaha as the Jays were host of the first round game in the Missouri Valley Conference post season tournament. I was not just out there playing for myself, Johnson said, but I was playing, trying to say thank you to a lot of people who have helped me over the years. Johnson had an outstanding career at Creighton. He has said a lot of thank you ' s over his four years on the Hilltop. 1 60 — the pacesetters mp p ' ii Above left, )ohn C. |ohnson prepares to shoot over opponents ' head.

Jay Coach Apke is happy with Hilltop ' s ' golden era ' I could see myself leaving in a couple of years for another coaching position or even a position outside of basketball, says athletic director and Bluejay head coach Tom Apke. But, 1 could also see myself be- coming the grand old man of Creighton basketball if they still wanted me in 20 years. Apke has been head coach of the Bluejays the last five years. Before that he was a graduate assistant coach at the University of Cincin- nati, head coach at Cincinnati ' s McNicholas High and a five-year assistant at Creighton under Eddie Sutton. 1 have been satisfied with my career at Creighton so far, Apke said. I feel we ' ve had a lot of suc- cess and have experienced a golden age in Creighton athletics. Entry into the Missouri Valley Conference, the building of the Kiewit Center and the emerging women ' s program are all high- lights, he said. Apke ' s coaching record at Creighton is 93-43. He played with the Bluejays in the early 60s and graduated in 1965. He started his sophomore year and averaged in double figures. He was a top substitute his last two years and team captain as a senior. Apke said he has always seen coaching as an unstable occupation. There have always been prob- lems with coaches who don ' t win enough for the alumni, administra- tion and fans. The progression has maybe been a little more unstable recently, he said. According to Apke national T V and larger benefits from the NCAA tournament may be reasons for the increased instability. National TV makes people more aware of suc- cessful teams, Apke said. «BIUI Top, Kevin Ross hits a free throw in the Bluejays big win over the College of Saint Francis.

I ' d probably shoot more, the honorable-mention all-Missouri Val- ley Conference performer said. Bluejay fans don ' t think he needed to change anything. The 6-7 Creighton Prep product played both the forward and center for the Bluejays and wound up as the 14th leading scorer in university history. Wesely started two years for the Jays, leading the team in rebound- ing both years and playing a key role in the Missouri Valley Con- ference championship his junior season. The sharpshooter led the team in free throw shooting, hitting on 80 percent of his tries, and field goal shooting with 53 percent. Though Wesely ' s 13 point aver- age, second of the team, was good, many thought his defense was better. Wesely always drew the opposi- tion ' s top offensive front-court threat. He held Larry Bird, college bas- ketball ' s player of the year, under his average three times in battles with Indiana State. Marquette ' s Bernard Toone and Wichita State ' s Cheese Johnson were two others who had to contend with the Tune Treatment.

Jay fortunes sizzle, freeze during topsy-turvy season Despite losing two starters and two important substitutes to gradu- ation, the Bluejay basketball team began the 1978-79 season as if they weren ' t going to let the graduation losses hinder their winning ways of the previous year. The Jays ran its early season record to 5-0 with impressive wins over Oregon State, Iowa State and the University of Nebraska at Lin- coln. A tough road trip to the West Coast was next on the schedule and it looked as if national recognition might be just a couple of games away. The recognition did not come however, as the Bluejays began a skid that lasted for much of the rest of the season. They lost nine of their next 12 games and struggled to stay above the .500 mark for the rest of the year. The finished in a tie for fourth place in the Missouri Valley Con- ference and earned a home court berth for the first round of the con- ference tournament. They lost how- ever, to pre-season conference favor- ite Southern Illinois, and had to watch the rest of the basketball sea- son from the sidelines. Although the team ' s record was not as successful as recent Bluejay teams, there were a number of bright spots about the season. Tom Apke, despite other prestigious schools being interested in his coaching skills, stayed at the Hilltop to direct the Bluejay fortunes for at least a few more seasons. Seniors John C. Johnson and David Wesely closed out their col- lege careers by leading the Jays in scoring and rebounding, respec- tively And the play of sophomores Jim Honz, Kevin McKenna and Dennis Rasmussen along with a tal- ented crop of freshmen, pointed toward a bright Bluejay future. 166 the pacesetters — 167 4i Above front row: Randy Schwartz, Lance Long, Vince Pietro, Joe Shaker, Steve Streitz, Craig Huston, Tim Durham; second row: Doug Spellman, Mark Lange, Tom Jackson, Jim Boivin, Mike Knauss, Lou Halamek, Randy Sparland, Brian Muench, Mike Murray, Jerry North, Joe Fanco and Tom Vassios. 1979 Bluejay coach is Larry Bartee, below. Swing south is disappointing as Jays open spring season Creighton ' s baseball team, though involved in several close games, re- turned to the Hilltop with a dismal 1-6-1 record following its annual trip south to open the spring 1979 season. The record dropped to 1-8-1 after losing a doubleheader to Northwest Missouri State University. The game was slated to be the Bluejays home opener, but was moved to Mary- ville. Mo. because of wet grounds at Booth field. One of the keys to the Bluejays less than stellar performance was in- juries to three key performers. Randy Sparland, David Wesely and Lou Halamek were credited with more than half of the Bluejay wins in 1978 but they were unable to hurl the ball for the Bluejays on the southern trip. Joe Franco came through with good pitching performances and was credited with the Jays only vic- tory, a 9-6, extra-inning affair with Dallas Baptist College. The double- header was highlighted by Dennis Rasmussen ' s three home runs. The outburst showed the big man had his offensive act together, some- thing he didn ' t accomplish until midseason in 1978. So, despite the disappointing early season record, there were en- couraging signs keeping Coach Jerry Bartee and his charges optimistic about the remainder of the season. 1 68 — the pacesetters  i iit-i - ' • ' w •.Ji Softball team starts season as defending state champions As Creighton ' s Lady Jay softball team prepared to wind up for the 1979 season it had the distinction of being defending state champions for the first time in the history of the women ' s athletic program.

We hope to have a good year this season. Deb Sharar, Arts sophomore, was back on the pitching mound joined by Holly Hesse, Arts freshman and an Iowa high school star. Another sophomore and freshman, Michelle Kenney and Connie Faaborg added to the pitching staff. Cheri Love, Arts freshman, spent time covering first base with Busi- ness freshman Karla Hughes as catcher. Theresa Bonin, Business sophomore, was a solid hitting first baseman.

The team felt Miller ' s loss in the season due to an attack of phlebitis. Ann is our playmaker and she controls the tempo of the game, Kinnett said. I ' m looking to her for leadership. Those three carried the load, and they ' ll have to keep the team to- gether, Kinett said. They defin- itely have that ability. Kinnett also had some talented newcomers in the forward and center positions. Bridget Birdsall is a 5-10 center from Brookfield, Wise. Kathy Kayton, a 5-11 freshman from Cedar Rapids, Neb., was utilized in the center position. The experienced player in the forward position was Theresa Bonin a 5-8 sophomore from Minneapolis. Patty Bierle, a 5-8 freshman from Yankton, S.D., rounded out the forward position for the Lady Jays. Peggy Mahoney, 5-5 sophomore from Omaha Marian High School, was a guard.

The toss-up, below, challenges the reach of each player in an intersquad game. Schatz watches competition, skills improve for Lady Jays Over the years the Lady Jays basketball team has changed and improved, Arts senior Ann Schatz said. With recruiting scholarship players, the competition has in- creased and the playing has become more aggressive. We ' re not as com- placent as before. Schatz played for the Lady Jays for three years. She left her sopho- more year to play for Northern Col- orado University, but came back to Creighton. Schatz said that although she has noticed a change in the quality of the basketball team, there is still no change in people ' s interest for women ' s basketball. There ' s not just enough interest generated, the Lady Jay said. 1 think there needs to be more student-faculty input and interest. Schatz said that people want to watch winners play and to keep winni ng, Creighton has to do what the bigger schools do in terms of re- cruiting and coaching. It ' s kind of like keeping up with the Joneses ' , she said. Our recruit- ing and coaching have to keep get- ting sharper, and our budget has to increase if we ' re going to keep win- ning and keep up with the bigger schools. Besides basketball, Schatz also plays Softball for the Lady Jays and is a long distance runner. After graduation she plans to play AAU basketball and concentrate on her running. Ann is a journalism major and plans on a career in sports cast- ing for radio. I would like to thank the school, the Athletic Department, the coaches, and especially the team for these years, Schatz said. Everyone has been very caring, cooperative and dedicated. Al- though not always on a winning team, I ' ve created friendships that are very special. And that ' s what is most important for me. 1 74 — the pacesetters Above left, in a scheduled game, Lady Jays put to use the skills learned in prac- tice.

Lady Jays finish season 11-9 after Nebraska state playoff The Creighton Lady Jays closed their season with a fourth place finish in the Division II State Tour- nament, v hile going 11-9 for the season. In the tournament ' s first round, the Lady Jays defeated the College of St. Mary for the third time of the season. Sharp execution and a bal- anced attack helped Creighton to defeat CSM, 62-57. Arts sophomore Cheri Love, play- ing one of her best games of the season, led the Lady Jays with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Arts sophomore Peggy Mahoney con- tributed 10 points; Arts freshman Bridget Birdsall had 6 points and 11 rebounds and Arts freshman Kathy Kayton scored seven points. Described by Coach Gaye Kinnett as an all-round good team effort, the win over CSM gave Creighton the right to take an eventual state championship Midland College. Once again the Lady Jays pre- sented a balanced attack as Love had 21 points and nine rebounds fol- lowed by 10 point contributions from Birdsall, Arts senior Ann Schatz and Mahoney. Birdsall and Mahoney also grabbed eight and six rebounds respectively. In the consolation game the Lady Jays took on Hastings College. Creighton was troubled by fatigue and foul trouble as Arts freshman Patty Bierle and Love each picked up four fouls. Both teams played poorly, it was obvious that we were tired. Hast- ings is a very fast team and we were unable to stay with their fast break in the second half, Kinnett said. Kayton led Creighton with 15 points and five rebounds, while Love had 12 points and 13 rebounds. The Lady Jays will lose the talents of senior guard Ann Schatz to graduation. Among the 11 players returning is scoring and rebounding leader Love, who averages 16.3 points and 11.7 rebounds a game. Birdsall and Kayton carrying 7.1 and 6.6 scoring averages respec- tively, wiU also be back. We have a lot of reason to be op- timistic about next year.

It was a mixture of undergraduates and professional students. Under- graduates are needed to keep rugby alive and continuous, while profes- sional students lend experience. In the fall, the rugby team partici- pated in the Heart of America Rugby Tournament in Kansas City. In the spring, they participated in a tournament sponsored by the Omaha Rugby Club.

Soccer Club finishes second to UNO in conference games The Creighton Soccer Club com- peted in the Northern States Soccer Conference this past fall. Winning seven of its eight conference games, Creighton finished second to UNO. Creighton ' s season peaked when they clinched the second place spot by trouncing Dordt College, 5-1. Dordt went on to win the con- ference championship tournament, defeating UNO. Because Creighton was a first-year team in the con- ference, they were ineligible for the post-season championship tournament. Creighton was plagued early in the season by a string of injuries. Opening the season shorthanded in the Concordia Invitational Tourna- ment, Creighton lost a grueling game to Concordia, 2-1. Creighton played more impres- sively as the season progressed. Its only conference loss was to archrival UNO, 2-0. Creighton twice tied UNL, and then went on to win the rest of its conference games for a second place finish. Creighton did not lose their five home games. This year ' s club featured almost all players returning from last year ' s club, with some added freshman talent. Randolf Scott, of Jamaica, joined John Bolos at midfield, as the two dazzled opponents with their ball handling ability. Both were named to the all-conference team, Scott on the first team. Bolos was the team field leader while Scott was the second leading scorer. Bodo Treu anchored a solid Creighton defense which featured goalie Keith Walzak, named to the all-conference first team.

Though the Tae Kwon Do Club has existed on campus for the past seven years, next fall ' s classes will be the first offered at Creighton. The moderator of the club, Suk Ki Shin, will begin to teach the art of self defense to interested Creighton students. This year ' s club membership consisted of 15-20 members who met three times a week. Tae Kwon Do, a form of karate not only strengthens the participants, it also sharpens mental skills, teaching concentration, moderation, respect and nonviolence. Not only do the members of the club strive to increase physical strength and mental preparedness, they also work to qualify for up- coming AAU meets. In the near future, Creighton will offer its students a means to in- crease their strength and mental ability. 1 82 — the pacesetters Below, left, fellow club members help spot and measure the jump of a team- mate.

The schools included Northwest Missouri, Graceland, Crenelle, Concordia and Buena Vista. The club was not as successful as it could have been, because there wasn ' t enough depth in the team to get two people in events, Jakusz said.

The competition is fun and good to continue in col- lege, Linscott said. It ' s a sport that takes three or four hours a day to keep in shape, but swimming is important enough to take the time. Linscott said this Swim Club has been the longest in existence at Creighton. No other swim club has lasted four years. jakusz. Arts sophomore, said the team was working to find a coach.

The class was offered both semes- ters at Oak Ridge Stables, north on Highway 73 near Fort Calhoun. Students learned to ride English saddle, and according to Arts senior Carol Johnson, a student in the class, the riding style is that used for fox hunting. Johnson also said students were given a chance to learn tacking and grooming of the horse. Tacking is putting on the saddle and bridle, while a horse ' s grooming includes washing and brushing with a cur- ry comb. There were about 20 students in each class who learned to ride and care for a horse. Johnson said the students varied from beginners to those who really knew what they were doing.

The second trip was sponsored by the Physical Education department with a group of 28, Feb. 9-12, also to Wmter Park. This trip was a requirement for the Downhill and Cross Country Skiing course. The skiing conditions were super! said Mary Higgins, instruc- tor in Physical Education. The sun was shining and it was 35 to 40 degrees both days.

Although the CU Pep Band did not march into the civic Auditorium for home games with the typical marching band regalia or parade to the tune of the The Saints Go Marching In, Creighton ' s band got the home crowd in the spirit. It didn ' t step in time as if in a parade either, a common event for marching bands of many a large university, but members provided a lively background for the cheerlead- ers ' rouhnes and roused the Bluejay backers into sometimes frenzied cheering. The band was made up of about 25 students who played various in- struments including trumpets, trombones, clarinets, flutes, sax- ophones, baritones, tuba, drums and an electric piano. One trip to the game at Wichita State was the highlight of 1978-79. Practice was held weekly with members gathering in the Fine Arts building to run through numbers under the direction of Sue Phillips. Familiar Faces -■■ . 194 — familiar faces %Ji.L ■.

Cunning- ham, Jr., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said. Still, there ' s a good balance between concern of social justice and individual study, he said. In looking at students over the years, Cunningham said that he finds they they are more practical today. In that sense they ' re more studious because they have a specific motivation, he said. Cunningham was named the new Arts and Sciences dean during the summer of 1978. He replaced acting dean Wesley Wolfe. Cunningham is no stranger to Jesuit education. A native of Holy- oke, Mass., he graduated from Holy Cross College with a degree in Eng- lish literature and later received his master ' s degree from Boston Col- lege. Cunningham taught English at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh for eight years while completing his doctorate in English literature at the University of Pittsburgh. He spent the next 15 years teaching English at LeMoyne College, a Jesuit institu- tion in Syracuse, N.Y. My experience at Jesuit institu- tions made my transition to Creigh- ton easier, Cunningham said. There is a great similarity between Jesuit schools. However, there is not nearly enough interaction between them. Cunningham would also like to see more interaction between Creigh- ton ' s academic departments. I am not in favor of rigid departmental barriers, he said. I would like to see new classes taught by faculty from different academic departments. There is a need for more cross-fertilization among departments. Cummingham likes the way in which the General Education Cur- riculum combines freedom of choice in course selection with a liberal arts core curriculum. I think that a core curriculum which includes philosophy and theology is very important. My past experiences have been with restric- tive curriculums. Cunningham said that the typical student at Creighton tends to be a pre-professional more often that at other smaller colleges. With the fine professors, the pre-professional atmosphere is in- evitable, he said. The dean thinks that Creigh- ton ' s pre-professional emphasis cre- ates a unique challenge for its administration. The object is to integrate liberal arts and humanistic training with pre-professional study, he said. This is a difficult task because the nature of a liberal arts institution is not rigidly pre-professional, Cunningham said. The purpose of a liberal arts institution is to educate humanly, not professionally. However, Cunningham said the integration of pre-professional and humanistic education can be done. This results in better doctors, a human professional rather than just a technician, he said. Liberal arts help students to understand their motivation better. Cunningham said that he doesn ' t get to spend much time with Creighton students. I do not get to know students as much as I would like since the regis- tration procedure is taken care of by everybody else. Also, I ' ve had to spend time with particular prob- lems, he said. But that ' s changing. I taught more second semester and I expect to be in the classroom more in the future, Cunningham said. I don ' t want to get away from students. I ' m doing all I can to maintain that contact ' 198 — familiar faces ' :jm:i -. mi The Rev. Michael P. Sheridan, S. J., died March 24 at the age of 43 following heart surgery. Sheridan arrived as associate dean of students in 1970, and since then he held five administrative posts. Upon his arrival, he was named dean of students and in 1972, vice president of student per- sonnel. In August, 1976, he resigned the student personnel appointment to become acting vice president for academic affairs. After spending six months on sabbatical, at the Jesuit House of Studies in Toronto, Canada and in parish work in Brain- tree, Mass., Sheridan returned to Creighton as administrative assist- ant to the president in January, 1978. Sheridan was ordained in 1967 and immediately became Dean of Men at Marquette University. After two years there, he was named assistant to the president at Catholic University in Salta, Argentina. After a year in Argentina, he arrived at Creighton. The Milwaukee native held a Doc- torate in Higher Education from the University of Chicago. Besides his administrative work, Sheridan served as chaplain for the Omaha Fire Department. Father Sheridan showed care for Creighton, Omaha area He was a terrific morale boost- er, the Rev. Neil Cahill, S.J., assistant professor of economics, said. He mostly helped pass out sandwiches and pick up fire hoses. He would drop in on the firehouses and chat informally with the guys. His work there was a good outlet for him as a change from his ad- ministrative duties. It was for the civic community segment to whom he thought he could bring the knowledge of Christ, Cahill said. It was a chance for him to do what he couldn ' t do in administration. Sheridan was honored at his funeral by the men he had earned respect from because of his deep interest in their work. As the funeral procession passed fire sta- tions to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, firemen displayed equipment and stood at attention. At the funeral Mass in St. John ' s Church, the Very Rev. Bruce Biever, S.J., provincial, said Sheridan treated life as a gift to be actively participated in. The Mass was con- celebrated by more than 70 priests from the Jesuit community and the archdiocese. For the procession to the ceme- tery, Sheridan ' s raincoat with Chaplain printed across the back was tied to the back of the fire truck. His boots were placed upside down on the ladder and his helmet was placed on the casket. At the cemetery, three firemen place Sheri- dan ' s coat, boots and helmet in the grave with him. j aig- Father Mike Sheridan had three loves in his life other than the love of his family, the Rev. Michael Cannon, S.J. said. First he loved the Jesuit order; second the Univer- sity where he served for so many years, and third, the firefighters. Sheridan will be remembered for his interest in students and his attendance at student activities throughout his years at Creighton. It seems appropriate to remember the late Rev. Michael R Sheridan in this edition of the Bluejay. He was one familiar face on campus who will long be remembered. familiar faces— 199 Familiar Faces :ir ' ' For 33 years. Dr. Frank M. Ferraro has taught medical micro-biology to the health science students at Creighton. I can walk into many drugstores and hospitals here in town and see former students of mine, Ferraro said. It gives me a good feeling. You could say that it makes my day. A native Omahan, Ferraro graduated with a B.S. in Pharmacy in 1941 from Creighton. After the war, he began teaching and complet- ing his education. In 1950, he earned a master ' s degree in medical microbiology from Creighton and his doctorate from the University of Southern California in 1960. Through the years, students have been so important, Ferraro said, they ' ve always been Number One. Ferraro said that if there has been a change in the students over the years, it has been for the better. They are still students of excellent quality — mature, hardworking, out- standing, he said. Dr. Richard E. Shugrue, professor of law, has had the opportunity to see some students grow and mature from undergraduate through law school at Creighton. From 1967 through 1971, I was chairman of the Political Science department and then came to law school to teach, Shugrue said. So there were a few students whom I watched and taught through all their Creighton years. Besides teaching several classes, Shugrue advises on the Moot Court Board and on the Legislative Re- search and Drafting Service. He is also a pre-law adviser. Shugrue sees a change in today ' s Creighton student. There isn ' t the external pressure of the draft and the war on students. They can con- centrate on academic work and not social anger, he said. Shugrue said the students show an interest in their career. They rec- ognize the competition in admission to schools and the job market. Students should be aware of the socially and economically disadvan- taged and enrich their concern for fellow human beings, Shugrue said. Because of Creighton ' s small size in comparison to state univer- sities, it ' s able to give the Christian education needed to refine one ' s care for fellow human beings. As a teacher, and vocational and spiritual counselor, the Rev. Richard McGloin, S.J. has gained the respect of many students during his 40 years of teaching and living with students. In 1955 he came to Creighton to teach theology, philosophy and classics. He is an associate professor of classics and is a dorm chaplain which allows him to be available and close to his students. While many students know him as a pre-health adviser, he spends much of his time as a counselor and friend to all students. McGloin said he uses his talent for listening to deal with students ' needs. He said, Students soon pick up on my concern and learn that I really am interested. McGloin has seen no real change in his students ' attitudes even though the world has greatly changed and their environment is different. The student of 1979 is basicaUy the same kind of student as in 1939. They still ask the same questions and have the same doubts, McGloin said. He has, however, seen a change toward less concern with moral problems and views this as a serious problem.

My changes are from student in- teractions, he said. I ' ve become a more humanisitic psychologist. As both a previous student and as a member of the Creighton faculty, the Rev. Neil Cahill, S.J., said he Cahill said he is proud to be a member of the Creighton family. In 1943, he received a degree in general business and in 1962 became a fac- ulty member.

Karabatsos, professor of English and chairman of the Department of English and Speech, received his degree from Creighton in 1949 and his master ' s degree in education a year later. In 1970 he received his doctorate from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The concept of liberal education is different now, Karabatsos said. I got depth in the basics — history, English, philosophy, etc. Now, a student is given a wide choice range in subjects. He ' s given a lot of in- formation on a wide scale, and it makes it difficult to integrate it all. Karabatsos believes that there has been a change in the students since the 1960 ' s. In ' 68 and ' 69, students were in- different. They were less concerned with classes, he said. There were troubles with the war and social upheaval. Now, after settling down, students work more seriously. Karabatsos said that the years one spends in college are a chance for exploration and a time to ask Who am I? Allow your spirit and mind to grow and develop your character and conscience, he said. You can ' t measure this return. The relationships between fac- ulty and students are much easier now and more fun. Students are more willing to ask questions, Dr. Robert L. Snipp, associate professor of chemistry, said. Snipp has been at Creighton since 1950. He did undergraduate work here and came back to teach after graduate work at the University of Iowa. Snipp said students at Creighton are very different from other stu- dents of their generation. I haven ' t seen the students forming the groups so characterized by their generation. Our students are so di- verse in their background it is hard to see any changes. Besides his work at Creighton, Snipp is involved in several non- academic activities. For the past three years he has been active with the Omaha Community Theater, appearing in Shenandoah, A Christmas Carol, and his most re- cent, Kismet. He has also done work with the Omaha Civic Opera and is a member of the American Chemical Society. He believes that a great deal of time can be spent with students, especially if you see students that are struggling. I think students ap- preciate the time you spend with them because after all, they are after your ideas. Dunng the 16 years that the Rev. Eugene F. Gallagher, S.J. has been at Creighton, he has come to know the students through classes and talking with them. Gallagher, professor of education, said that the education department has an open-door policy. From the first day of class, we encourage students to come in and talk about their progress, problems, plans or whatever. We want to put them at ease, Gallagher said. I ' ve noticed a change in the stu- dents over the years that I ' ve been here, he said. At first, they were fairly conservative. Then in the late ' 60s, they became rebellious and more revolutionary — as was the rest of the nation ' s youth. This reached a plateau and then reversed. Now students are more conservative in a good sense. They ' re more serious and concerned about a good education. Gallagher said that a distinguish- ing sign of this change was the way students acted toward teachers. In the late ' 60s, they wouldn ' t look at teachers. If they passed one another on the street, there was an uncom- fortable, antagonistic feeling. Now students are more friendly; they ' ll kid and laugh with teachers. Today ' s student isn ' t concerned with change just for change ' s sake, Gallagher said, but change to bet- ter themselves and their world. 202 — familiar faces In her 14 years at Creighton, Val- erie Roche, assistant professor of fine arts, has seen students become more conservative. Roche said, They seem to be getting back to their roots more. That may sound like an old cliche, but people are going back to the natural things of life, and the students are leading it, she said. Roche has been here at Creighton since 1965. She was first part of the physical education program. When dance began, she became a part of it. Getting to know students is diffi- cult for Roche. She finds herself getting to know their bodies and what they can do before I know them as people. I enjoy the stu- dents more now, though, because I feel my goals are their goals and that makes for better learning. Roche said she enjoys the three dance classes she teaches, as well as the lectures she sometimes gives. You know, dance is a way of life and you have to fit your life around it. I think the way my life has fit has been just perfect. Sam Crawford, associate vice president of student personnel, as- sists in the administrative aspect and the more personal side of stu- dent personnel. His responsibilities include chair- ing conduct committee hearings, in- terviewing RA candidates and supervising Upward Bound and minority special services. Through his work with students, Crawford has observed changes in their at- titudes. When he came to Creighton in 1969, the student body reflected the racial and political turmoil of the country. According to Crawford, CU was the most politically active campus in Nebraska at that time. In the past decade, Crawford has seen a com- plete change in Creighton ' s political and racial climate. The minority question is no longer a key issue in the country or on this campus, he said. The ele- ment of disruptiveness no longer exists. Instead, Crawford said he sees students are turning from radical political unrest to a focus on the un- certainty of the future. James Doyle, vice president for student personnel and dean of stu- dents, feels students are more prac- tical and take a harder look at possi- ble careers. Politically they ' re more with- drawn, in some ways more conser- vative, than in the early 70 ' s, he said. They seem more uptight now than previous students and are very serious about study. But you find a greater warmth here than in state schools. Doyle said he is bothered by the fact his administrative work takes him away from students. However, he said the committee system is more viable today and he gets to know students through their more active roles. Another change that he has noticed in students is their differnet interests in social activities. He feels there isn ' t the interest in addi- tional social activities and that most leave little room for a forum for interaction. familiar faces — 203 ami liar Faces Dr. Theodore J. Urban, assistant dean and professor of oral biology, has been a member of Creighton ' s staff since 1954 when he became an instructor at the School of Dentistry. Urban has had the opportunity to know his students well. He feels students today are much like the group he encountered in 1954. He sees them as a positive group of stu- dents with a strong desire to build for the future. They are idealistic, but in a more practical sense, Urban said when comparing today ' s students to the more radical group in the ' 60s. Getting to know students and un- dergraduates has been an important facet of Urban ' s career. However, according to Urban, as the School of Dentistry expands, it is increasingly difficult to maintain a close relationship. Urban was chosen in 1978-79 for honorary membership in Alpha Sigma Nu in November. Dr. Salvatore Greco, professor of pharmacy, has always been close to his students. I think in my own case I have always enjoyed a good relationship with students. I have the added ad- vantage of being in the lab, Greco said. There are no assistants, and I have a chance to call most of them by their first name. Greco has been teaching at Creighton for 23 years. He received his B.S. in Pharmacy at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and his doctorate from the University of Maryland. Pharmaceutical calcula- tions, applied pharmaceutics and supervising one of the students modules on special senses are Gre- co ' s responsibilities I don ' t see any difference in stu- dents, he said. I think by the time they get to pharm school they are more relaxed, but we still have many students who worry about grades. The Rev Carl M. Reinert, S.J., vice president for university rela- tions and president of Creighton ' s Development Foundation, said he has seen the student ' s attitudes come full circle. Students are extremely practical like the young people of the late ' 50s and early ' 60s, he said. They were idealistic during 1965 to 1971. Condi- tions of the world have forced this to come full cycle, and the end result is a better relationship between stu- dents and faculty. What seems to be apathy among students today, Reinert said, can be viewed as a more practical attitude — a kind of common sense because they are biding their time while gathering useful tools in school to make change. I think there is a certain amount of apathy even in people my age. There ' s a frustration knowing that a previous generation failed in its quests, Reinert said. I feel students today realize to succeed, they need tools. Creighton students have a new at- titude about caring and sharing. It ' s just a friendly atmosphere. It ' s a small measure of attitude but an accurate one, he said. It ' s an open and friendly atmosphere with- out suspicion. 204 — familiar face s The relationship between stu- dents and faculty has become more open, according to Toni Laguzza, assistant professor of nursing. Since her college days she said the atmostphere has become more open as students have become more assertive and aware of their right to disagree. Through her teaching, ad- vising and supervising in the clinical area, Laguzza maintains close con- tact with students. As sophomore medical-surgical nursing coordinator, she helps stu- dents with their problems and spends time getting to know them at student activities. The major change Laguzza sees in students is that the quality of the student has improved; their poten- tial is better. More students are applying plus academic standards have gone up, she said. Another change Laguzza sees in- volves the field of nursing in the fu- ture. She feels nurses need to be- come more confident of their abilities and profession and need to make their wishes known. Nurses will become more re- sponsible and will make more sound decisions on their own, she said. They will earn and be more deserving of respect from doctors if they take the opportunity to do things on their own. Students have changed tre- mendously in awareness of the world and human relations, Eileen Lieben, associate dean of students and dean of women, said. I came to Creighton just at a time when every thing was breaking open. We went from a conservative, authorita- rian system of education to a blow- up of everything. She meets students through her involvement in many university committees. Alpha Sigma Nu, dorm programs, counseling and the freshman Welcome Week. In the 60 ' s students cared more for the world. It was an affluent time in our society; the students had jobs and basically everything they needed, so they cared more about the world, the society. Lieben believes some of the idealism of those years has gone. The fierce competition for grades here doesn ' t help either. It certainly doesn ' t breed or develop the kinds of habits for concern for your fellow student. The Rev. Bernard Portz, S.J., associate professor of mathematics, has taught at Creighton University for over eight years. His courses, math for business, and music, are not the first courses he has taught on the Creighton campus. In the 1940 ' s, Portz taught at Creighton Prep which was then lo- cated in the Administration Build- ing. Portz often visits with students in the cafeteria at dinner time or at sports events in the Kiewit Center, he said. Since Portz first came to Creighton, he said he has noticed a less rebellious attitude among the students. When he came to the campus in 1970, the students were protesting about problems in dor- mitory living. But Portz said he doesn ' t believe students would react as radically today. Two reasons for this change are the increase of student input into their own affairs, and the students have also settled a little more, he said. Students seem more practical and concerned with finding a job. Portz feels students shouldn ' t re- strict their education to a limited field of study, but need the experi- ence of a more liberal and broad col- lege education. familiar faces — 205 ■ ■ ?vsk-fy tB ' f The Features ■ ' t. nf vu r 206 — the features •. i ' . .J ' A, Creighton has areas and issues which need to be explored. On campus there are students and fac- ulty who have story to teU. There are questions and answers to dis- cover. There is more than meets the eye. The in-depth story offers in- sight and delves into a detailed explanation. The following stories look into areas that were as much a part of the year as the rush parties, the TGIFs, the elections and other cam- pus activities. One of the subjects looked at is the older student at Creighton — how does he or she fit in? And, what is life like in a Jesuit commu- nity? And, what were the student trends in ' 78-79? 208 — the features Older students add spice to campus life MOM, I ' m hungry! What ' s for dinner? Mom, where are you? I ' m in the basement studying ... Children are only one of the many unique situations that older students at Creighton University are faced with daily Most of these students have concerns beyond campus situ- ations and face many real world problems the average Creighton student only dreams about and looks forward to facing in the future. Barb Mattus, in her thirties, is a full-time undergraduate theology major, wife and mother of two teenagers. She works with high school students in the area of theology She said her interest in expanding this into adult education brought her to Creighton. Barb said her husband is behind her and is a big support in her studies, especially at test time. Although her 15 and 16-year-old back her educational efforts wholeheartedly, conflicts arise with their transportation, activities and her studying. Things work out, she said. It ' s just a unique situation that must be dealt with. Across the nation from Hawaii to Maine, older students are making an impact in all areas of education. According to a recent Newsweek, the enrollment figures have dou- bled since 1970. Educators believe Americans are beginning to regard education as a lifelong effort. One third of the nations col- lege students are 25 or older. The reasons vary for the return to college. Many find the need for new skills. Women who left school to raise their families are re- turning. College graduates return for their second degree for a second career choice. Re- tired people want to spend their leisure time doing something. Although Creighton has no statistics on older students, there are a few in different areas throughout the university who have the same reasons for going to college as others across the nation. Obvious questions for these students seem to be how they decided to go back to school and how they feel with the younger crowd. Florence Widner, 65, said the rapport is just great. I ' m treated as a student and when I get to talking to them, I begin to feel the same age. Widner said the students in her classes sometimes confide in her and she said she is only too happy to help. Widner is an Arts senior working for her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She said her husband encouraged her to finish school. I started at the University of Omaha in 1935 and took night courses occasionally, she said. I always wanted to get into art and I knew I could learn it at Creighton, but I didn ' t expect to finish. Education belongs to everyone, Widner said. She would like to see more older people get involved with education. Although many go back to school to get a degree, there are those who take classes for their own enrichment. Thomas King, 75, said he has been taking political science and constititional history courses at Creighton since 1975.

I learn from them and they learn from me. the features — 209 Oh where, oh where can tradition be found at Creighton University? When I sit down to think about tradition, visions of ivy-clad red brick walls appear. Is there anything at Creighton like an old rivalry, as strong as that between Harvard and Yale or Army and Navy? Is it the food fights in Brandeis cafeteria, or the early lunch cleanup in Becker where the men with mops stand ready to stack chairs and make the linoleum a veritable waterway before you can finish that last cup of coffee? What tales can alumni recall about their almamater? Well, there are the ivy-clad walls of the Administration Building which tell of Creighton ' s past, and live through each new Welcome Week group ' s tea. The observatory is another symbol that could stand as a tradition, but it seems tradition for Creighton is measured through the little things combined to create tradition. These little things are floor T-shirts, the time-honored TGIF, Greek Week, Rush Week, Welcome Week and the beginnings of possi- bly a few new traditions. Let ' s first look at Creighton ' s most obvious tradition, it ' s mascot — the Bluejay. It ' s the mark of excel- lence on many a T-shirt, bumper sticker and basketball program. Creighton ' s Garrulous glandarius was chosen from among other feathered friends, such as the red- breasted erithacus rubecula or the Thanksgiving meleagris pallapavo. It first appeared in the 1920s and in the 1927 yearbook, Billy appeared as a realistic birdwatchers ' bluejay on the cover. By 1941, the Bluejay took on the appearance familiar to Creighton crowds today. In 1970, Bill acquired a fierce gritted-teeth countenance which was protested by the alumni. What other traditions does Creighton have? Is it the typical Apke pose which can be seen dur- ing the basketball season, where Apke is in the middle of the players ' huddle, recalling play by play action of the last quarter? What makes Creighton distinct? Is the Marquette-Creighton rivalry a tradition? Or is it gtanner ' s sports — the traditional forte for the aver- age Creighton student? Does tradi- tion make the ivy grow greener and the university more established? Creighton has got to have some kind of tradition. How can you put your finger on it? It ' s elusive and may not be as clear as the graffiti on the bathroom wall, but tradition is the transmission of knowledge, opinions, customs or practices handed down from generation to generation; the body of beliefs and usages passed on. If there is one thing at Creighton which is handed down from one generation of freshmen to the next, it is the rituals and the mys- tique connected with dormitory liv- ing. Although many a student may shrug his or her shoulders at the suggestion of the importance of passing down the SAGA tradition, there are certain rituals which are as perennial as the tuition bill. As each new class is inducted into the cafeteria-style dining for morn- ing, noon and evening, the mem- bers learn the game of which entree is the lesser of two evils or how to arrange rides for off-campus dining. However, most students learn to like the meals and so the most color- ful traditions of the school eatery is the food fight. These fights used to be between members of fraternities and during the heyday of this food fun, there was nothing more exhilirating than choosing a table for your group from Deglman in the midst of the male population. (The cafeteria used to be segregated — girls on one side, guys on the other, a tradition existing only in memories.) The klinking of glasses would echo through Brandeis, someone would throw the first orange and the blitz would begin. As diners dove under the tables, plates flew and chicken wings sailed over trays, skipped the soup and were stymied by the Jello and then it was over, as quickly as it began. Food fights are not as common these days, but the memory lingers and every so often, a group will suggest it, which sends the cafeteria managers into a frenzy. Another tradition which involves the subject of food, is trips to Beals and the late-night visits to the Smoke Pit. Across the street from campus is Beals which serves as a haven for dormies on Saturday nights when the food service is closed and the only transportation is one ' s own feet. The Smoke Pit is a kind of enigma for those who have never been a member of groups which frequent the place on a late night after a dance or a drink- ing spree. In addition to food and party cus- toms, there are others handed down which residents fit into as comforta- bly as a hand-me-down shirt. The floor T-shirt captures the distinct- ness of a floor. Venture Fourth, First in Their Hearts, Sweenies ' Weenies, When you go out ' take a Fifth ' , 8th Floor has better Bunz are just some of the slogans over the years. And of course, other time honored dorm practices include pranks like water-filled waste- baskets tipped precariously against a neighbor ' s door, whipped cream fights and midnight raids of vendoland. Outside the doors of the dorm, is the relationship between dorm resi- dents and the townies. Many think dorm students are of one breed and townies another and never the twain shall meet. But they do share something — too many cars and too few places to put them. Parking shortages have been apparent for a long time and to in- Is green ivy only hint of 210 — the features crease the frustration has been the onslaught of the campus rhinos. Sightings of this animal occurred more and more frequently as they attacked poorly parked cars with a vengeance — even those parked at odd angles when snow was piled high with no shovels close at hand. Three weeks during each school year stand out as having the most tradition surrounding them. Wel- come Week introduces the new stu- dents and parents to the wonderful world of Creighton. A Welcome Week calendar of events reads like a calendar of fun and frolics that includes a new students ' picnic, concerts, trips with group leaders, tours of campus and the libraries, and a session for hints on how to survive the college life. Rush Week is when sorority sis- ters and fraternity brothers host par- ties and smokers and new students gather to find out what wonders await them as Greeks. These events occur each year as students flock to be a part of the swinging social life of the Greek system. Greek Week events give a taste of a Greek ' s life. The Centennial Celebration brought with it new traditions. The sparkling fountain has given the campus a start on developing a character and it also started a prac- tice which may become com- monplace. On Labor Day, the last brick was carefully put in place and the crowd watched with anticipa- tion for the first waters to spring forth. What they got were bubbles — so many it looked like Creighton ' s imitation of Old Faithful or Law- rence Welk ' s bubble machine. Will Creighton begin each new year with this cleansing ceremony? Another tradition was brought about by the purchase of the Guest House Motel for Sheridan Hall. With it came a marquee for Creighton to use for any and all purposes. It wished Omaha folks a happy holiday season well into Feb- ruary, and on another occassion it boldly proclaimed: May the Floss Be With You during Dental Hygiene Week. Creighton may make these messages customary for any time of the year. And who could forget the open- ing of the Bluejay Bar? It served as a go-between from Sheridan and the rest of campus for a quick beer any night of the week. With Bluejay memorabilia covering the walls, the new bar may become a habit. Have all of these traditions passed by the I ' m-going-to-the-library- anyway-so-who-cares-about-tradition folks? Gunners packing up for the library like they were packing up for Christmas break, are another tradi- tion that cannot be overlooked, these gunners ' forte is the world of academics. After all, what would Creighton be with out long-standing jokes about gunners? Well, these are just some high- lights of the traditions that make Creighton ' s ivy grow greener and gives the campus character. If the library Creightonites can take their noses out of the books and move out of the library before moss grows around their ankles, they can learn about Creighton customs. Don ' t worry, the books will be there and not too much dust will accumulate. For as we all know books to read, papers to write, exams and assign- ments to take are also as perennial as the tuition bill. What ' s important is to be a part of the university — that ' s where the creation of tradition lies. Creighton ' s family and the events and situations they create will keep tradition alive well into Creighton ' s second cen- tury. Harvard and Yale may have older ivy and more of it, but Creighton has the small things which together make our tradition unique and more meaningful. tradition at of Creighton U? By Julie Asher the features — 211 Rank-tenure The peak of activity for one all- university committee comes in mid-winter. After a six to eighl week period ending in March it has reviewed the student evaluations and personal files of about 40 faculty members and determined its own evaluation of their per- formance. This is the all-university commit- tee on rank and tenure and its evaluation process, according to the Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J., vice president for academic affairs and ex-officio member, is probably one of the most important things we do in the university. At the heart of its business lies the intent to preserve academic freedom. As the seventh year of an instruc- tor ' s career approaches, he is eligi- ble to receive tenure unless he is filling an adjunct appointment. An individual hired on a need basis doesn ' t fall under the provi- sion for tenure, according to Dr. Mark Ware, associate professor of psychology and member of the rank and tenure committee. There are some limited appoint- ments, mostly in the medical school. Ware said. They are indi- vidual practitioners whose services are needed but they don ' t come under academic administration, at least as regarding academic freedom. Tenure is a commitment the uni- versity makes to an instructor that he can ' t be dismissed unless for specific reasons following specific procedures. Ware said. It is a means to an end of protecting academic freedom. Essentially this means that faculty 212 — the features evaluates faculty performance members and students may investi- gate, study, teach or communi- cate on matters that involve their expertise. Thus, faculty members may not be terminated for researching or teaching a controversial issue, he said. This is based on the assump- tion that in doing so, one discovers the truth, and that society stands to gain by the pursuit of truth. In order for a person to receive tenure, it is necessary for him to be evaluated. Ware said. At this time he may also apply for an advance- ment in rank. Faculty members start as instruc- tors or assistant professors and may advance to associate professors or full professors. According to Father Morrison, a change in rank comes from the fac- ulty member ' s own initiative, while tenure is an automatic consideration as the seventh year approaches. The evaluation is done by peers who are the best to judge qualifica- tions, Morrison said. Judgments are made in the areas of professionalism in teaching, re- search and service. Items in a file for review include peer evaluations from within the university and other schools and copies of any pub- lished works, used in determining an instructor ' s scholarship record and intellectual curiosity and an updated resume. Also considered is the instructor ' s demonstration of his expertise in service to the community as well as the university. Another criterion for promotion comes in the form of student evalu- ations, which Morrison termed as crucial. Despite their absence on the committee, students loom very large in the outcome through the use of their evaluations, he said. I don ' t think students realize how carefully their evaluarions are read. Sometimes they don ' t respond and sometimes they don ' t take them seriously as they should, but in the vast majority of cases, students do a fine job of responding. Each college has a rank and tenure committee or its executive committee serves to evaluate its instructors. A recommendation is made within the college whether or not a person should be promoted, Mor- rison said. It is then forwarded to the university committee which makes a similar recommendation. The final decision is up to the president. But the president ordi- narily follows the university com- mittee and college recommendation simply because the two decisions are very much peer evaluations, he said. Besides providing a guarantee for an instructor, tenure benefits the university by providing a thorough evaluation of the faculty and an incentive system for them to do well. According to Morrison, one diffi- culty arises in answering a crucial question — Is the quality we now perceive going to continue? A quota system is not used in awarding tenure or advancement in rank. It ' s a poor system because one makes artificial determinations and discriminates against good people, according to Morrison, but decisions are made on a com- parative basis, by looking at the in- dividuals who are up for considera- tion at the same time. It ' s not easy because you know what you ' re doing to the individual and the university, Morrison said. You weigh very carefully. That ' s the advantage of having a commit- tee — one sees things that others sometimes don ' t see. One difference between tenured and not tenured faculty members is the possibility for a not tenured individual to not be rehired. With proper notice, this would follow a given year of employment if his services would no longer be needed or required. However if he ' s not rehired, this doesn ' t mean he ' s dis- missed, Ware said. Dismissal is a severe measure and means that the dismissal proce- dure was followed. It implies something improper, resulting in that action, he said. As part of the procedure a com- mittee on dismissals hears the case of both the university and the faculty member Upon reaching a decision, a rec- ommendation is made to the president, who then makes the final decision. Ware said in the past 10 years no one has left Creighton following this procedure, although that does not preclude an individual ' s deciding to not undergo the dismissal procedure, and to leave of his own accord. Ware said he recalled only one case in which the university attemp- ted to make a case against an indi- vidual. However the committee recommended that he be retained, and subsequently the president also decided to retain him, Ware said. the features — 213 Disco fever r-V; ■.fi} Take the pulse of anyone these days and it comes up with a disco beat. The beat is fast, the music is hot and everyone is into it. At Creighton, as well as across the nation, disco fever has broken all thermometers! The flashing lights, whirling bodies and ever pulsating beat are more than contagious. The only cure — get on the floor. Creighton students joined the throngs crowding the dance floors and disco classes. Not just a dance, disco has spread into a new way of life. Disco clothes are some of the most vogue on the fashion scene. There are disco dresses and dos, purses and shoes. Flaunt it, the flashier the better. Shoes light up, shirts sparkle and satin shimmers on the mass of dancers in the fantastic lights. A trip to W nterfest was as good as a disco fashion show in New York. Full skirts, straight leg pants and spiked heels have found their way into many a lady ' s closet. Tight shirts in graphic prints have replaced the guy ' s T-shirt. Beat moves dancers The galloping beat moves dancers in a new elegance at a time when dressing up and go- ing out has once again become fashionable. Disco music is at the top of the charts. Whether it ' s Donna Summer or the Bee Gee ' s Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, disco music is rapidly becoming a part of student ' s record collections. Disco tunes can be heard echoing through the halls of all the dorms. Everybody is dancing . . . from teens breaks all thermometers! through retired couples. Disco classes are booming. Students learn everything from basic line dances to challenging couple dances, filled with precision turns and pat- terned foot work. The smart young moderns have the steps down, smooth choreographed movements that betray hours of practice in front of a mir- ror, without their glamorous garments. Those who have mastered the movements struggle to pretzel, hustle and tango. Those tangos usually turn into tangles and the dancer tack- les that twist and torso and other limbs into terrifying positions. Balance becomes a pre- carious commodity. Dance is mastered Once the dance is mastered, there ' s a feel- ing of triumph and the grim faced determina- tion to keep dancing until the moves flow and seems like second nature. Then it ' s time to strut off the floor and sit in the haze, hyp- notized by the sights and sounds. Willing students can learn to disco any- where from classes taught at the Y.M.C.A. and local dance studios to expensive private lessons listed in the personals column. Students learn disco in physical education classes and a recent article listed disco danc- ing among the best pre-season exercises for skiing. The glitter from the New York scene comes out during dance contests. With matching outfits to go with matching movements, couples try for prizes that can be as much as mtst $500. Contestants choreograph dances to pre-selected music and try to out-fred Fred Astaire and out-ginger Ginger Rogers with dance variations that include more dips and swirls than Baskin-Robbins ice cream. New discos are opening in Omaha across the nation as fast as hamburger joints in the ' 60s. Omaha offers a variety for the disco crazed students. Cuzz ' s in the Old Market of- fers a unique atmosphere and has live radio broadcasts weekly. Hollywood adds elegance The Hollywood, with its multi-level dance floor, ankle-deep fog, and spectacular lights, adds elegance to the disco scene. Pogo ' s, one of the first discos in Omaha, maintains a lively group with its large lighted dance floor. Rosie O ' Grady ' s, Callahans and Bacchus, are only a few more of the many discos in the big O . The names of dances in discoland seem as crazy as the phenomenon. The Soul City Strut, Truckin ' , Boogie Down, Watergate, Continental Bus Stop and Funky Frisco are a few of the popular dances. Disco dances are also regionally named. There ' s the New Yorker, Italian Husfle, Latin Hustle, New York Hustle, Chicago Loop and even an International. But the name of dances are not important, what ' s in style really is up to the discoma- niac ' s individual taste. Creativity is at the heart of disco.

Jesuit mission involves serving faith, justice By Teresa Bruns The Creighton Credo begins: Creighton, a Jesuit University, is convinced that the ... How often have we seen or heard that third word, Jesuit, and won- dered what significance it has for students and Creighton? What is the Jesuit community and what does a Jesuit mean for Creighton? The Rev. John D. Zuercher, S.J., is the superior of the Creighton Jesuit Community which is under the Wisconsin Province of the Soci- ety of Jesus. First, a brief discussion of facts and figures. There are 75 men in this community, Zuercher said. Several are in nursing homes and others are at various parishes in the area. The rest either live here in the Jesuit quarters, the Linn House, Rectory West or the dorms. Zuercher said that six of the community members are Jesuit brothers. Father FitzGibbon has been here since 1937. He ' s been here the longest, Zuercher said. As rector, Zuercher ' s duties include taking care of finances, per- sonal and spiritual development, health and morale of the commu- nity. He has a couple of assistants to help him in this task. I have the final say on any com- mon decision — that is, any deci- sion that affects the whole commu- nity, Zuercher said. Of course, I consult and ask for advice before I decide. There is a responsibility we have toward each other. Zuercher encourages the commu- nity to continue their studies in theology and their chosen subjects. Within the community, commit- tees are set up such as Vocation, Liturgy, and Hospitality. These committees aid in the smooth man- agement. A university community is good because it offers a broad range of ministries, the rector said. There are professions as university and hospital chaplains, teachers, admin- istrators in undergraduate and professional schools, and staff positions. Zuercher said that Creighton is one of the best university com- munities that he ' s ever been at. There ' s a good age spread which has benefits for both the older and younger Jesuits, he said. Morale is high at Creighton and there is a very good relationship between the lay faculty and the Jesuits. The. students and alumni are just great, too. Zuercher said that individuals may have some misconceptions concerning the Jesuit community. The community finds it embar- rassing if people think that we have a lot of money, Zuercher said. It bothers us because they asso- ciate the Jesuits so closely with Creighton ' s new buildings and think that we own them. The Jesuits take a vow of poverty upon entering the society. The community shares cars, TVs and such. Nothing is personally owned. We ' d like to have a greater con- tact and identify with the poor more than we do now, he said. A second misconception that people may have about the Jesuits is that they are not interested in hav- ing newcomers. We are sensitive about pressur- ing young men to join the Society, Zuercher said. As a consequence, it may seem that we are not in- terested. But that is not true. There is a need and we are very interested in helping increase the vocarions. The Rev. Corbett Walsh, S. J., was a newcomer to the community this fall. Walsh lived in Deglman Hall. There is a basic sameness among all Jesuit communities, Walsh said. There is a strong communal bond that is the same, but each individual community takes on the local flavor. Creighton ' s differs in the sense that it is not as heavily academic. Discussion is more commonplace than in other communities, he said. Walsh said that it is a most hos- pitable community — good, warm and generous. One is welcomed immediately. The broad spectrum of ages has many advantages, too. One can listen to the old rem- iniscence or the young talk about the future. Both are enjoyable, edu- cational and worth listening to, Walsh said. The Rev. Joseph D. Scallon, S.J., assistant professor of English, said that the Creighton community has a good reputation in the Midwest. It ' s a friendly house, Scallon said. It ' s not too big or too little so it offers a wide variety of people and yet is still small enough to be able to know them. In April of 1977, the Creighton Jesuit Community wrote a rationale for the Jesuit presence at Creighton. Zuercher said that this report is not complete and under constant change. The report discussed the history and beliefs of the Society of Jesus, and then presented their phi- losophy of education. The report states that Jesuit education is characterized by a style involving features typical of the following profile. It has a world affirming spirituality; aims to be person- oriented; focuses on leadership; is inclined toward action; is adaptable; cultivates an ability to listen to the other side; respects prophecy, in the sense of speaking up. This style, the report stated, is surely not re- stricted to teachers who happen to be Jesuits. The rationale then discussed the Jesuit presence at Creighton. (In 1968 the Community was estab- lished as a separate corporation for the principal purpose of providing religious, educational, and financial assistance to Creighton University ) It states that the Jesuit presence at Creighton is a corporate thing; that is, it consists not only in individual Jesuits working in this instttution, but Jesuits acrively participating in the corporate life of the Univers- ity along with a large number of lay people. What does the future hold for the Creighton Jesuit Community? We are being called by the Wis- consin Province to become much more aware of the problems of faith and justice in the world today, Zuercher said. We as individuals and as a community need to open up ourselves, learn about the prob- lems of world injustices and speak up about them. Our mission today is the service of faith and the pro- motion of justice. the features — 217 Above, T-shirts are sported by many figures, even a shapely fire extinguisher.

Every organization, unorganiza- tion, dot on the map and hole-in- the-wall has come up with a T-shirt of its own. Some of these T-shirts carry mes- sages with rather provocative impli- cations. The Creighton Soccer Club wears shirts proclaiming Soccer players do it for 90 minutes, refer- ring, of course, to the length of their games. Our own yearbook staff sports T-shirts adorned with get between our covers ... Still another mildly suggestive T-shirt seen on campus reads Radiologic Technicians Know All The Positions. These T-shirts lead one to wonder if a book truly can be judged by it cover. Persistent individuals at the Kiewit Center wear a variety of T-shirts. The most popular appears to be a gym rat T-shirt earned by running or swimming a certain number of miles. Creighton has its share of all- around enthusiasts — those who possess a certain vitality for every- thing. Their T-shirts read simply Go-pher it! with smiling, buck- toothed gopphers ' pictures. These individuals are the campus rah- rahs, and probably are rarely seen — it is impossible to keep up with them. Another group, quite large in number though seldom seen, are the library rats. Early in the year a membership drive for this organiza- tion was held. Modelled after the gym rats, recruits had to spend at least twelve hours a day at the library, seven days a week, before earning a T-shirt. These T-shirts pic- tured a rat, with a Creighton Biol- ogy Department identification tag on its left rear paw, wearing specta- cles and peering into a book. The T-shirts were down-filled so as to ward off library chills. Some T-shirts seen recently at Creighton are frightenly inappropri- ate. Picture a former marathon run- ner in a course entitled Fitness for Living who wears an Omaha Marathon T-shirt with a yogurt ad- vertisement also on it.

Beyond this, a metamorphosis has occurred within each individual. A quiet process begins freshman year and continues through senior year when this change is a new beginning. It all began in August of 1975. The Rev. Joseph Labaj, S.J., welcomed the incoming freshmen and reas- sured parents that their children would emerge from Creighton as formed and mature individuals. The four years would produce change — subtle and at the same time visible. I remember, I remember . . . sit- ting in the dorm lobby watching the human stream of frightened faces heading out for the first chemistry exam . . . being afraid to skip classes . . . the extremes of that first finals week (tortuous hours of noth- ing but studying, acute nervous tension . . . then they were over — relief was delicious!) . . . how much of me was still like high school those first few months . . . frustra- tions and disappointments . . . the late night term paper, the unpre- pared for test . . . sorority and fraternity rush . . . the immortal TGIF and keggers ... a sense of be- longing to the Creighton crowd sophomore and junior years . . . quiet hours in local and frequented bars — places where souls were laid bare, true confessions told and memories dipped in gold . . . the lovely melancholy of April dusk in the Jesuit Gardenrs . . . the excite- ment of going home for mid-term break, . . the sadness of leaving friends for the long summer at home . . . the anxiety of that last semester — leaving friends, facing the world at last ... a countdown to graduation and the senior cele- brations . . . the regret of the school and study rush — sometimes no time to catch up on the friendships made long ago as a newcomer . . . This is Creighton in four years. I feel very old, but I ' ve learned so much. My memories are very special to me, and I ' ve come to feel like I re- ally belong on this campus, though many familiar faces have long since ceased to frequent it. Much still re- mains — the same types of morn- ings, gray skies. Creighton has pro- vided the atmosphere to grow and has opened many new doors for me. I thought the friends I made in high school were very special, but the friends I have made here after living and working with them, are much more special to me. It is hard to think about the past four years. In going back home will Creighton ever exist for me outside my mind? Will I ever run into somebody from school to talk to? Have I made a dif- ference here? I am going to miss Creighton. Yet, I am anxious to go and ready to go, I think. If I could leave one thing behind, it would be that sense of amazement, the glimpse of confidence and excite- ment that melts the fears. This is the process — one that is ongoing and affects each one. Hold onto it, for the words of those older and wiser come to mind — These are the best years of your life. the features — 221 222 — the learning Patty Suarez, right, handles paper work as well as interested students in her ad- missions duties.

Besides handling the paperwork for entrance require- ments. Admissions recruits high school seniors. Howard Bachman, director of Admissions, views the recruiting program of prospective students as a communication process. While most colleges have a general re- cruitment, Creighton faculty, admin- istration and students communicate with interested students in a more personal manner. According to Bachman, recruiters emphasize areas of study in which the student has expressed interest. They try to offer a specific informa- tion instead of the general informa- tion that a catalog can give. It ' s a rifle approach rather than a shot-gun approach, Bachman said. The more personalized program includes a direct mailing system. The office mails materials corres- ponding to interests the student has expressed. This year. Admissions has placed special emphasis on journalism, English, fine arts and a special program for students who are undecided. This is a new program but so far much of the feedback has been posi- tive, Bachman said. Also creating positive feedback is the six-vear-old volunteer recruiting program. Creighton students volun- teer to return to their high schools an d give their opinions and perspectives of Creighton to in- terested students.

As well as the colorful and comfortable Bio- Science Library. The libraries, as popular places to study, are usually filled to capacity afternoons and Sunday through Thursday nights.

Its location, adjacent to the Bio- Medical Information Center and the Criss Health Sciences complex, makes it an ideal learning facility for Creighton ' s Medical, Nursing and Allied Health students. The St. Joseph Hospital property at 10th and Dorcas streets was sold for $1.5 million to a group of Madi- son, Wis., businessmen. Mike Wadum, assistant director of public affairs at the hospital said that the businessmen plan to re- develop the 14-acre site, and are considering turning some sections into apartments or condominiums. St. Joseph Hospital has an open- ended lease with the group, and will lease some sections of the old building. These sections wUl house a mental health center, an emer- gency medical center and various other services. Pediatric patients trick-or treat through the administrative offices of the hospital, left.

Clinical is ' strong point ' for CU Med school in ' 79 The Creighton University Medi- cal School has a fine reputation for turning out practicing physicians more than teaching or research doc- tors, John Potter, director of medi- cal school admissions, said. According to Potter, Creighton clinical medicine has always been a strong point for the school. The students are exposed to a greater number of patients through the clinics at St. Joseph ' s, as well as the Veteran ' s, Children ' s and Doug- las County Hospitals and the family practice model units, he said. There has been a slight shift from the full two years of basic medical sciences and formal labs and lec- tures. Potter said. Students are introduced to the hospital in their sophomore year; the junior year is spent in clinical ro- tations, he said. Since they ' re familiar with many aspects of the medical field, seniors can opt for a specialty. This gives them a head start on their residency program. The medical school accepts 110 students as freshmen. Approxi- mately 19 of these are women, while one out of three Creighton grad- uates who apply are accepted. 232 — the learning Students observe a medical procedure demonstrated, above.

New research office helps faculty, students find grants Students perform a variety of techniques, above and right, for class and university research projects. Below, ani- mals are used in a psychology lab. An Office for Research Assistance was begun in the graduate school in December of 1978. The purpose of the office is to provide assistance to Creighton faculty, graduate students and others procuring research grants. Kathy Taggart, director, said the office ' s function is to review grant applications and help invite grant proposals. The office helps establish contacts for research grants and grant foundations for scholarships, loans and stipends. The office has already raised money for the ' Tree of Life ' for the Creighton fountain, Taggart said. According to Dr. Richard V. An- drews, dean of the Graduate School, Creighton has grown more conscious of the need for a broader base of faculty research. We have a need to support and develop our teaching mission by various degrees of faculty and stu- dent participation in university caliber research, he said. We have elected to maintain goals of excel- lent teaching with research and of practicum supervision with service as mutually supportive elements of our educational enterprise. Some of the university ' s steps to show support of scholarly endeavor include the Summer Faculty Fellow- ship Program, established in the past year by the Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J., vice president for academic affairs, $51,000 was the total for aid given to research efforts within the university. Efforts toward promoting research were seen in every area of the uni- versity. The School of Medicine added Dr. Thomas Hilgers who is conducting extensive research in human fertility. In the College of Business Administration the faculty compiled a list of more than 40 papers, books, seminars and work- shops. 234 — the learning Internships allow students chance for real experience Textbooks can ' t teach about hu- manity and communication. Experi- ence is the best way, Arts senior Geri McGinn said. The internship program developed my empathy for people and my ability to communi- cate with them. An internship program follows the belief that experience is the best teacher. Arrangements are made with outside agencies and busi- nesses for the student to have an opportunity in the real world. At the same time, the student can have an adviser ' s guidance and earn credit hours. McGinn worked in a sociology in- ternship at the Shelter for Battered Spouses. Her job included counsel- ing clients and transporting them to legal aid and welfare offices. She also provided an advocacy service giving clients emotional support and explanations, and day care for their children. Arts senior Jim Youngblut had an internship at Holland, Dreves, Rei- lly, an advertising agency. It ' s been an invaluable experi- ence that has exposed me to all the various dimensions of the advertis- ing agency, he said. Arts senior Brenda Roth also viewed her internship as a learning experience. Roth worked for the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging, an Omaha nonprofit organization, in a psychology internship. Her job was to evaluate the fed- eral Retired Senior Volunteers Pro- gram. Roth wrote, administered and analyzed the study which the Office on Aging will later use in their fed- eral funding application. The internship has opened up new interests for me, Roth said. It ' s also changed some of my opin- ions about Federal agencies. Earl Winters, director of place- ment, described internship pro- grams as any standardized, for- malized training program where a student can learn a particular job. An internship also offers the opportunity to stay with a company on completion of the program, Winters said. Students with internships may be a year behind in school, but they ' re a year ahead in their job ap- plications, he said. Besides internships the Placement Office offered part-time work. Al- though not an internship, Wmters said that these positions are some- times compatible with and comple- ment the student ' s major course of study.

Teaching assistants provide additional education resource Professors, instructors, adminis- trators and counselors are the sources of most formal education at Creighton. Yet Creighton offers each student another educational re- source: the teaching assistant. The TA Programs vary among the departments, in terms of duties, supervision and actual preparation for the job, as well as required ex- perience and attributes of applicants for the position. A freshman will probably have a TA during his first year at Creighton TAs teach some of the introductory courses necessary to fulfill GEC requirements. TAs attempt to be available to the student. Their interest and en- thusiasm, as well as their youth, serve to encourage students to broach a question, respond in a dis- cussion or offer an insight. The individual TA also benefits from this program, financially, per- sonally and socially, as the posi- tion demands organization and interaction. The goal of the program is to pro- vide the student with another edu- cational resource, emphasizing en- couragement and attention when a student is beginning his college career. The TA program was used in the biology, chemistry, psychology, his- tory and English departments this year. Chemistry, biology and psychol- ogy TAs are often undergraduate students majoring in the field. The TAs in chemistry and biology usually fill the capacity of a lab instructor, planning and supervising the lab, administering quizzes and attempting to link the experiments and procedures with the current class lectures. Arts senior Ellen Kaiser was an organic chemistry TA this year. I treated the TA job like a class, Kaiser said. Last summer when I first became a TA, I would go through the experiment before lab so 1 would know exactly what could happen and be prepared for any questions. The teaching assistant program provides an opportunity for addi- tional support for students and in- tellectual challenges for people who have a fresh and knowledgable interest in the never ending, and sometimes overwhelming, moun- tains of facts and figures which con- front each student. 236 d mill Top left, teaching fellows for English are Claudia Tienert and Marilyn Kelly.

Law school students use SB A, ' Review ' , moot court The School of Law has three branches of student involvement to meet the needs of law students dur- ing the year. The Student Bar Association is one branch which is concerned with the academic and social activities of its members. It serves as an inter- mediary force between the students and the administration. All law stu- dents are members of the SBA and elect an executive board each year. The board holds the responsibility of dispensing funds to various social organizations. It also sponsors forums and seminars and often schedules guest speakers. Every February, two law students from each class are elected to the SBA. Another area of student involve- ment is The Law Review, a scholarly publication open to all students at the Law School. It contains selected writings of its members as well as articles on current areas of law and how they are changing, written by nationally known judges and attorneys. The third area is the moot court, designed to train law students to argue legal points. Every student must participate, and most fulfill the requirement freshman year. For Luke Cosgrove, a first year law student, Creighton ' s Law School is a challenge. It ' s really in- teresting and a real challenge, he said. I really enjoy it, and it is pre- paring me for a position within our legal society. 238 — the learning Below, Law Review members are, Joe Dunbeck, Dick Marshall, Kathryn Boe, Jim O ' Connor, Paul Linstroth and Mark Major.

This year has taken a step back toward the situation of the early 70s, Paul Langer, SBG president, said. The board has been pro- active rather than reactive, has goals to pursue and has faced problems. The board has taken a more active approach and raised social con- sciousness and value awareness. Langer said the general direction of the SBG in the late ' 60s and early ' 70s was toward involvement in the university. He said this year the SBG tried to make students think and reflect like the earlv ' 70s rather than be concerned just with the so- cial aspects of campus life. The SBG acted as a catalyst, Langer said. As a result of poor accounting methods in the past, the SBG faced a deficit of about $15,000 as the year began. The board was able to func- tion with the debt after receiving a loan from the university to be paid back each year with the interest from the SBG bank account. At the annual budget meeting, new guidelines for group and club funding were introduced. The guidelines called for groups to find additional forms of funding like dues, fund raisers or department funding. A major change in the board went into effect after the annual corpora- tion meeting in February. The office of vice president for events was re- named Director of Programming, and the position was made an appointed post rather than an elected office. Interested students will now apply by sending in a resume with past experience and involvement, and the board will select the student who is the most qualified by a two- thirds majority. The offices of student affairs and academic affairs were combined into Vice President of Student Services. This vice president will coordinate several subcommittees. Two com- mittees will carry on the work of the original vice president offices. It will improve the SBG because it will give the representatives a more vital role, Jim Schlehuber, vice president for student affairs, said. There will be more involve- ment of the reps in student services by strengthening the committee system. Above left, Jim Concannon examines the evening ' s agenda.

The lawn in front of the administration building is a favorite place to catch a few rays, absorb a little knowledge, and scope out the scenery, bottom. Studying at Creighton . . . does osmosis really work? The average Creighton student, if indeed such a generalization can be made, studies approximately 14 hours per week. Naturally representatives from both ends of the spectrum can be discerned — everything from the freshman who checks out the scenery at the library and then leaves to the professional school student who sleeps an average of 14 hours per week. Nevertheless, upon close observa- tion, something akin to a standard study behavior can be recognized. And the new student quickly slips into the routine. One studies, eats, studies, sleeps, studies, studies some more. By the time the student begins his second year at C.U., he is a social misfit without a calculator in one hand. Right shoulder sway sets in from carrying an overloaded backpack too many times to the library. A favorite of gunners. Alumni Library study, to be effective, does demand important preparation. No pre-study dinner is complete with- out those essential 12 to 20 cups of coffee. Then books are collected along with a night-long supply of the only-gum-Mom-lets-me-chew and seven to eight layers of clothing are donned to ward off those chilly library breezes. However, while the library may be a study haven for some, to others it is the forbidden land. These stu- dents seek study time in unique and diverse places — both on and off campus. Room studiers require a will of iron to ignore the distractions of dorm life. The enticing smell of popcorn and the blare of stereos are keen tests of resistance. Of course, there are the desig- nated study carrels — but one may feel more on exhibit than in seclusion. And study carrel dwellers make pathetically easy prey for all numbers of practical jokers — friendly mooners and such. Others find the campus atmos- phere stifling and turn to the great outdoors for the stimulation essen- tial to effective learning. Who could forget the scientific classification of spiders with a tarantula crawling up their leg? To avoid the pandemonium of dorm life, still other students de- scend to the basement catacombs — those out-of-sight Spann rooms and tiny bathrooms sought out by desperate organic chem students. Here, in the deepest recesses of the building, they at long last find peace. Professional students must develop their own unique survival tactics. Never is a minute of study time senselessly wasted as the truly faithful study in movie lines or dur- ing church sermons. The approaches to this age-old problem are innumerable. One ul- timate solution, however, does re- main to the never-ending difficulties of college study — don ' t. i r : , ' ,,.-E5-- 242 — the learning Left, Bill Fehrenbach, Arts junior, assists students in the math lab.

' Fine Arts offers students various creative outlets The fine and performing arts are the best expression of the university emphasis, the Rev. Don Doll, S.J., chairman of the Fine and Perform- ing Arts Department, said. Many students find them enjoy- able because the students are doing something for which they will see results, Doll said. The Fine and Performing Arts Department has shown steady growth since its beginnings in 1965. Now the department courses of- fered include art history, dance, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, ceramics, theatre, music and drawing. Along with the regular course of- ferings, the department has many related extracurricular outlets avail- able to students. Each year theatri- cal works are produced with en- couraged student participation. Also, student choral concerts, art shows and dance performances are held. The faculty encourages student participation in Omaha Organiza- tions such as the Joslyn Museum, the Omaha Symphonic Chorus and the Omaha Opera. We experience a nice sense of cooperation in the department keep- ing the visual and performing arts together, Doll said. With our con- tinual growth we need more space for performance. An on-campus facility would provide better per- formance capability and double as a hall for university functions and speakers. There are at least 200 new stu- dents that take part in department courses each year, according to Doll. We serve the pre-health science students to give them an expressive means, he said. The fine and per- forming arts ambiance is different from other departments. the learning — 249 Above, students enjoy the informal at- mosphere offered by Program 101.

Cun- ningham, Jr., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, announced the termination of Program 101. Cunningham voted no on the program after reading a recommen- dation submitted by the Executive Committee of the college. The committee had voted to terminate the program at the end of 1978-79. An informational meeting was held in early October so committee members could listen to individual presentations weighing the pros and cons of the educational program. Dr. Micahel Davies, assistant pro- fessor of physics and director of Program 101, said 101 resulted from a an interest in how the conventional system of learning meets its goals. He said concern over faculty development and integration of students ' living and learning situa- tions were causes for lOl ' s creation. The program began in the fall of 1975. Two wings of Swanson ' s first and second floors were changed into a living and learning area with teacher ' s offices and sem- inar rooms. Students who had participated in 101 came to the committee meeting to give their opinions about the program. Arts senior Cathy Deming said grades given by 101 professors that first year were high because the students worked together. There was a great amount of ex- change between students, she said. This exchange facilitates more thorough learning. The joy of learn- ing for learning ' s sake is evident in 101. Cindy Works, an Arts sophomore. said she wanted to see the positive efforts be continued but felt an end to the program in its present form was necessary because it gave stu- dents a distorted picture of what was expected of them in basic sci- ence classes. The Rev. John Schlegel, S.J., lived on a floor with both 101 and non-101 students in Swanson Hall. I am a strong supporter of 101, he said. However, there is a morale problem in that tension exists between 101 and non-101 students on the floor. Schlegel said 101 students were finished with classes by Tuesday of mid-term week while non-101 stu- dents had to stay until Friday. 101 and non-101 students do not fit together because of scheduling differences, he said. The schedul- ing of 101 should reflect the schedul- ing of the university, especially the test scheduling. Although I ' m be- hind the program, I don ' t think it should continue in its pre- sent form. In a memorandum to all faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Creighton community, Cunningham said he felt accepting the committee ' s recommendation would be in the interest of the college community. Cunningham charged the Educational and Re- search and Development subcom- mittee with the priority of further investigation into alternative educa- tional structures. I hope that the entire community will be motivated to even greater creativity in striving toward the ideal goals of liberal education, he said. 250 — the learning Women ' s Center presents speakers, ' coping ' programs The Women ' s Resource Center is located in the basement of St. John ' s and overflows with books, maga- zines, statistics, graphs, news and ideas of interest to women and also men on the campus, according to Jan Bucher, coordinator of the center.

Views of nursing profession change as students progress The pre-nursing Creighton freshmen may arrive on Campus filled with the idealized, popular view of nursing perpetrated by the media. They may see themselves as glamorous ICU nurses, who along with the doctors, will make brilliant decisions that will save every pa- tient. Or their view of nursing may be limited to hospital settings and a glorified babysitting career. Nursing junior Mary Schmelz said that her view of the nursing profession has become more realistic since her freshman year. It ' s not that ' holier-than- everything ' that some people think it is, she said. People are human and make mistakes — doctors and nurses, too, Schmelz said. There is fail- ure; that ' s the way it is in the real world. Nursing senior Diane Barry said that she wasn ' t too sure wh at a nurse was before she began school. The nursing profession is more expanded than I thought, she said. We have a wide range of respon- sibilities. A doctor can ' t function without nurses. Curriculum changes were made within the School of Nursing this year. Sophomores spent a semester in the Lippincott Lab with a clinical at a nursing home. Capping was held at the beginning of the spring semester. The junior ' s curriculum with psychiatric, obstetric and pediatric tri-semesters was changed to a semester of Maternal-Child Nursing and one of Psychiatric- Medical-Surgical Nursing. Even with all these changes. Nursing junior Beth Girardot said that nursing is important because it helps others fulfill their potential in both health and illness. 252 — the learning Below, a student nurse entertains two small patients.

Dent students offer clinic aid to Creighton, area residents Training at the Creighton Dental Clinic is an integral part of the cur- riculum at the School of Dentistry. The clinic is staffed by junior and senior dental students and provides care for approximately 350 students per day. Since the school emphasizes clini- cal work, the students experience a rigorous program. It prepares them for the tasks that they will perform throughout their dental careers. The clinic is open to the general public as a regular dental office and many students from Creighton take advantage of the services offered. For a minimal fee, patients receive professional treatment. Since the clinic is a learning experience for each student, extra care is given to each patient. As a special service to the com- munity, the dental clinic provides treatment for those who might otherwise be unable to afford dental care. The Indian Chicano center of South Omaha sends patients to the dental school two evenings per month. Dental students, professors and assistants devote their time and effort to the underprivileged on a voluntary basis. The volunteer clinic has been a success since its incep- tion in 1969. 254 — the learning Left, each student is assigned a station, and must acquire the skills necessary in all dental procedures.

Pb- ' i W 256 Pharmacy offers modular programs, clinic-orientation Many times when we think of a pharmacist, a picture pops into our minds of a little old man behind a counter selling baby powder and aspirin. But the pharmacy profes- sion is much more than that. Pharmacy is a life-saving profes- sion, Pharmacy junior Thad Fenton said, and Creighton ' s program prepares you for the job. A student may apply to the Phar- macy School after two years of under- graduate study. During the first year, a student ' s schedule will include such classes as biochemistry, anat- omy and pharmacy jurisprudence. A Pharmacy junior is enrolled in a modular program. Creighton is only one of two schools in the country with a modular pharmacy program. The mods range from antibiotics and nutrition to cardiovascular and neurological systems. The modular program allows you to work at your own pace and learn more information than in a classroom situation, Fenton said. The senior year is spent in clinics at hospitals and community phar- macies. Classes are taken in various electives. SAPHA is the Student American Pharmacy Association. The student auxiliary offers lectures on topics re- lated to the drug industry and con- ventions. The Creighton Pharmacy School has a social fraternity and sorority that sponsors keggers and TGIFs. The Creighton Pharmacy School is clinically oriented, Fenton said. As a result, the Creighton graduate is more at ease in a hospital setting and can communicate more effec- tively with the rest of the health sci- ence team. ' ■JK 1 1 1 1 r ?

The book emphasized beginnings and endings in every phase of Creighton life. In the Centennial Bluejay, we fo- cused on the physical changes of Creighton — buildings, courses and pro grams, Julie Asher, Arts senior and editor, said. This year we wanted to concentrate on how stu- dents themselves have changed here at Creighton. A new feature was the return of colored pictures to the book ' s intro- duction. The year book staff felt the extra expense was worthwhile because that was a particular feature students wanted to see return. New layout ideas were intro- duced by the staff which gave the book a fresh new look according to Asher. A change in division page layout and unique titles for the sections included After the Classes for student life, The Viewpoints for panels and speakers, The Paceset- ters for sports and Who ' s Where for the index. Even little changes can succeed in giving the book an entirely differ- ent look, Asher said.

The Creightonian has been a teaching tool since its inception in 1922. Each editor is allowed to run the paper according to his or her own jour- nalistic style and taste. In the fall, under the leadership of Managing Editor Mark Wolski, Arts senior, the Creightonian changed its format to four columns to add vari- ety to layouts and increase the use of larger photographs. Brooke Ann Benschoter was edi- tor for the spring semester. No major changes were made in format but an emphasis was put on more fea- tures and current events reporting. Reporting and editing classes plus interested students contribute to the publication in all aspects.

The theater group began as the Mask and Wig Club in 1923, and the application to the national group was made in 1949 by the Creighton Players. The purpose of the organization has always been to create and sus- tain an interest in the dramatic arts among students and to produce plays on the collegiate level. Among the plays produced this year were The Real Inspector Hound in the fall and Cole Porter ' s musical Going My Way in the spring. The major activities of the mem- bers in the honorary society include helping in the search for faculty members when the need arises and helping in the decision about what plays to present each semester. Mary Lawry, a Pharmacy fresh- man, was the president for the group with Bill Hutson, instructor in Fine Arts, as the moderator.

Be- low, the refractor telescope is one of the original instruments of the observatory. CU observatory stands alone in tribute to 100-year history As Creighton University began its second hundred years, the obser- vatory stands as one of the few historical structures on campus, sur- rounded by trees in the Jesuit Gardens. In 1884, John Creighton donated a telescope which he purchased from J.H. Steward Co. of London. It cost $525 and weighed over 200 pounds. No permanent position was then designated for the telescope and to be used it had to be rolled out from the Administration Building where it was stored. But in 1885, the Rev. Joseph Rigge, S.J. came to Creighton. He obtained a $1,200 grant for the con- struction of a 15-foot brick round- house with a revolving hemispheri- cal dome. During its construction, John A. McShane, a great-great-uncle of the Rev. Thomas McShane, S.J., assist- ant professor of physics, donated a clock, a chronograph and necessary electrical outfitting for the telescope. On May 6, 1886, two years after its arrival, the telescope was mounted in the observatory. Ninety-two years later, the obser- vatory is still in operation with the Rev. Martin O. Vaske, S.J., professor of philosophy, in charge. Vaske said hours of sightings are still posted weekly in the Administra- tion Building. ' Shadows ' reflects talents in student poetry, stories Shadows, Creighton ' s literary magazine, was dedicated this year to Tom Tomasek, who passed away during the summer. Two pages of Tomasek ' s work were published. This year all our funds came from within the university, Arts senior Erich Ackermann, editor of Shadows, said. That way the magazine can reflect the literary tal- ents of just the university and not have to include outside works. The Shadows staff included Sara Komen, poetry editor; Bill Cum- mings, short story editor; Jane Le- Clair, graphics editor; Tim Welicky, finance editor; and Jushne Brehm, Jim Concannon, Paul Fishkin, Sheila McCarthy, Michael Robinson and Dave Zaborac.

PRSSA enters second year to teach members PR skills 1979 marks the second year for the Creighton University Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. The student organization ' s pur- pose is to increase the understand- ing of public relations, to provide students with opportunities to get acquainted with public relations and to encourage students to adhere to the highest ideals and principles of the public relations profession. Activities included fund raising projects, attending monthly meet- ings, sponsoring speakers, attend- ing luncheons with Omaha ' s PR professionals and touring busi- nesses in the Omaha area. PRSSA planned a public relations campaign for Special Olympics in the state of Nebraska. Members wrote news releases and mailed them across Nebraska. The students produced public service announcements on tape to be used by radio stations across the state. Creighton PRSSA designed news- paper advertisements, press kits and organized press conferences. Members totaled 24 in 1979. The officers for 1978-79 were Lisa Schoeffler Peter, president; Julie Cotter, vice president; Kris Ann Greco, secretary-treasurer; and Ann Micheli, liaison officer. The faculty adviser was Charles Zuegner, associate professor of journalism. 290 — the learning Students give time, talent, love to 708 Senior Center The sharing spirit was alive and well at Creighton University for 1978-79 — if the service of students at the 708 Senior Citizen Center was any indication. The center was founded in 1973 to serve the elderly in the Creighton neighborhood — many of whom are poor, lonely or disabled. About 45 Creighton student vol- unteers, directed by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, ran the center at 708 South 24th St. The senior citi- zens gathered at the center on Saturdays and were treated to a home-cooked meal, some lively en- tertainment and conversation and companionship. The variety of services provided the senior citizens included holiday parties, health care, nutrition infor- mation, dances, movies and arts and crafts activities. The volunteers also organized and conducted various fund raisers to help defray the costs of rent, food and entertainment. The center was expanded this year to include an Outreach pro- gram. Through this program, stu- dents visited and assisted senior citizens who had difficulty getting out of their homes.

Alpha Sigma Nu welcomes student, honorary inductees Forty-three students and 11 hon- orary members were inducted Nov. 4 into Creighton ' s chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit hon- orary society. Student candidates are named each year by their respective deans from each of the eight colleges and schools, according to the Rev. Wil- liam Kelly, S.J., alumni chapter moderator. Election is based on scholarship, loyalty and service to the university. He said honorary members are elected by the alumni chapter and the student chapter. Membership is selective and the selection process takes about a month. The college deans submit names of eligible students and the active members discuss the candi- date ' s qualifications for member- ship. Induction is held every fall. In February the society hosted a speaker, Yitzak Rabin, former Prime Minister of Israel. The honorary members this year were the Rev. Matthew E. Creighton, university president; the Rev. Vincent L. Decker, S.J., associ- ate professor of theology; Sister Mary Virginia Daly, R.S.M., former principal of Mercy High School in Omaha; Mary E. Flannigan, execu- tive director of the Christ Child Soc- iety in Omaha. Donald J. Greco, dermatologist and co-president of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Catholic Physicians Guild; Raymond E.

Japanese visitors discover ife at Creighton is hectic At least one Japanese male found himself startled by those notorious free-wheeling American social mores. ' 1 took my Japanese student up to my room to give him an idea of what the dorms look like, and all of a sudden he became very uncom- fortable, O ' Shaughnessy said. I couldn ' t imagine what was making him uneasy, when every- thing had been just fine a few min- utes before. Finally he said, ' I ' ve never been in a lady ' s room be- fore, ' she said. Needless to say, we didn ' t stay very long after that. I guess they ' re not usually alone on dates in Japan. Naturally, most escorts had to temporarily abandon studying dur- ing the Japanese visit, devoting their energies to keeping their charges entertained and informed. Some of the Japanese, however, apparently thought the barrage of activities was standard routine on campus. They asked us if we ever study! Emge said. They thought all we do is party and eat! I sure do think they will fit in at Creighton, Emge said. I don ' t think they could have picked people to fit in any better. ri -r p :r ' ' V ; :, ' :i •■ I Last year everybody was uptight about the program because it was misunderstood, she said. It will add a new dimension to the cam- pus, a whole new culture, a whole new area to explore. Language difficulties were one of the major concerns of the Japanese, according to O ' Shaughnessy Although students usually grasped the general content of lectures and labs, understanding the instructors ' specific directions and comments remained a problem for many. They were curious about slang, O ' Shaughnessy said. They wanted to know if ' yep ' , ' yeah ' and ' uh huh ' meant ' yes. ' When we tried speaking Japa- nese, we appreciated their difficul- ties with English, she said. The worries of the Japanese were like those plaguing the average Creighton undergrad. They talked about how difficult it would be to get into med school, O ' Shaugh- nessy said. The Japanese ' questions re- flected a particular concern with academics. In Japan, classes are held six days a week. Surprises were in store for both visitors and their hosts. They were simply amazed with all we ate, Emge — also an escort — said. At Godfather ' s they were content with one piece of pizza! When we went bowling afterwards and ordered popcorn, they couldn ' t believe it. ' More food? ' one of them asked. ' You people eat all the time! Everywhere you go! ' ' They didn ' t really think much of American food, either. They hate sweets and they didn ' t like hot dogs. They said that Japanese beer was a lot stronger than American beer, too. The pinball machines though — they just went wild over them! The most interesting part was the reac- tion the Japanese had to things we take for granted. They really enjoyed the parks, O ' Shaughnessy said. They couldn ' t get over the space everywhere.

The Honors Program is designed to give exceptional students an opportunity to read and discuss classic and significant contemporary works of Western Civilization. The Honors Program emphasizes the development of student discus- sion leadership in program courses. All courses within the program are seminars. Each session of a weekly seminar is attended by a vis- iting professor who is a specialist on the book or topic of discussion for the seminar. The program is a sequence of five seminars during a five semester period. A final two semester period of independent reading or research then follows. Each seminar centers on a theme within a general area of knowledge. Students who successfully com- plete the Honors Program receive a special certificate upon graduation. Each year a committee of Honors Program students and faculty select 15 second semester freshmen from a group of applicants. This year there were 49 students active in the Hon- ors Program. In addition to the seminars, many students participate in a variety of cultural and social activities. This year the Honors Program sponsored a camping weekend in Rocky Na- tional Park; a visit to the Art Insti- tute of Chicago; a chili dinner and attendance at local plays, symphony concerts and operas. Dr. Eugene Selk, assistant profes- sor of philosophy, was program director. ' T hated to see them go! It was a sad good-bye for Arts Junior Twila Emge when her Japanese friends left Creighton fol- lowing their August visit. But it wasn ' t long before the trans-oceanic pals were reunited. The 24 future Creighton students returned to Omaha in March, be- ginning a five-month period of orientation and intensive English study — preparing for August entry into the university Arts and Sci- ences pre-professional program. The Japanese students — 19 men and five women — were partici- pants in Creighton ' s Institute for In- ternational Programs. They were selected from various parts of Japan in a nationwide search conducted by the Institute of Educational Development in Tokyo. Activities during the visit in- cluded city and campus tours, class observations, a tour of Joslyn Art Museum, an afternoon at the Sep- temberfest carnival, shopping at Westroads and a night on the town experiencing typical Creighton stu- dent entertainment.

With 63 chapters of Creighton Alumni Associations across the country, Chuck Maxwell, director of alumni relations, said he and another representative from Creighton are kept busy from Sep- tember to May attending chapter functions. Either the president goes, one of the vice presidents or a dean. We have different administrators each year so alumni get to meet the administrators, Maxwell said. Other guests include parents of Creighton students called non- alumni parents. We consider them part of the Creighton family along with the friends of the university, donors and recruiters, he said. Every graduate is an automatic member of the association and there are no dues. When 25-year or 50- year graduates come to Omaha they receive a silver or gold citation which is presented by Creighton ' s president. Maxwell said the biggest event of the association is the annual picnic which is the event gathering the most alumni. Last summer ' s picnic was held at Peony Park. Merit awards were given to one alumnus from each of Creighton ' s eight schools. N ' %,. •m. 298 — the learning If Conversation seemed to be the most favored attraction at this years reunion.

As the year closed, dorm policy was in the midst of change as the adminis- tration tried to cope with the increasing enrollment for fall. A new awareness of art among stu- dents seemed apparent with the con- cern over the Rev. Leland Lubbers ' , S.J., sculpture, ' ' Inverted Cones. While Lubbers explained his meaning, stu- dents questioned its purpose and sig- nificance. With the final decision on the Tree of Life sculpture for the fountain, came utilitarian views which saw the design as a waste of money as opposed to those who felt it captures the essence of Jesuit spirit in education. The Japanese students arrived in March to live and learn in the Creighton community, and the new Japanese learning center was opened in the Administration Building. As 1978-79 progressed, world events such as the turmoil which rocked Iran and Jimmy Carter ' s new attempt to help peace along in the Middle East loomed in the background. As American began discussion about the 1980 presidential campaigns, Creighton experienced its own election and a change in leadership. A new student Board of Governors president was elected and with him new vice presidents. A change in the offices included the combining of the vice president for academics and the vice president of student affairs into the office of the vice president of student services. A new of fice of director of programing, an appointed job, replaced the vice president of events. Graduation came in May and opened up new doors with careers and profes- sional schools, as the graduates closed another door of life at Creighton. What is in Creighton ' s future? A new education program to replace Program 101 will be examined. The mall w3l be studied, and plans readied for the avail- able funds. Changes in the Alumni Library may take place. The future also holds for Creighton continued excellence in education, ac- complishments and services. Creighton will continue to survive and strive. It ended as quickly as it began. wrapping it up — 351 m . Acknowledgments ■ Tom Walker of Hurley Publishing, Inc. Ann MacDonald .: Creightonian Barb Wagner :.
