Newsflashes that Sporked... Four years in college is a long enough time for seemingly unimpor- tant events to have farereaching ef- fects on individuals, and for seemingly trivial actions taken on one's own part to also have their own impact. One is shaped by one's sur- roundings, but reshapes those sur- roundings in the process. Before looking to the future, one feels a natural inclination to look back at the events that have shaped, and been shaped by, the DePaul graduates of 1979. In a university as large as DePaul, organizations exist to accommodate almost every student interest, thereby allowing individuals to have an impact in the area of their choice. The Greeks tfraternities and sororitiest, Program Council, the Student Government Association, The DePauIia, Radio Station WDPU, Residence Hall Council, ROTC, the Student Education Association, Ac- tion Inc., the Latin Student Organiza- tion, the Biology Club, the Wine Club, the Ski Club, the Greek Club, the Geographical Society, the Society of Physics Students, the Political Science Students' Associa- tion, the Polish Club, the College Democrats, and the College Republicans all provided students with opportunities to join organiza- tions with specific interests or goals. Some activities, by their very nature, are more visible than others, and created a large amount of news over the last four years. The Greeks, as always, provided parties, dances, and opportunities for students to socialize. But the Greeks made their biggest news in 1976 when they garnered enough votes to get a fraternity president elected president of the Student Government Association. Program Council evolved from a rather invisible organization to one that provided a wide variety of real entertainment for the students. The large turnout at PC-sponsored events held during 1977-78 and 1978-79 showed that PC members had an insight into the students' en- tertainment needs. Expense was not spared as PC provided a wider range of events and more 4 aggressive program than in the past, resulting in a consistent selection of successful events. In its short history. radio station WDPU has shown a remarkable ability to continually resurrect itself from near-death. Begun in the win- ter quarter of 1977, WDPU faced its first challenge one year later when a revision of United States copyright law cancelled non-profit organiza- tions, exemption from royalty pay- ments. This resulted in the closing down of WDPU for the remainder of the school year. After agreements with the licensing agencies respon- sible for collecting royalties paved the way for WDPUls reopening, the station remained closed because no one had applied for the stations top three positions. Petitions containing hundreds of student signatures finally convinced the administration to reopen the station, although equipment failure prevented the sta- tion from resuming its broadcasts. The headline on the September 10, 1975 freshman orientation issue of The DePaulia said, Student Government is tentertaining' politics and stated the view that tISGA is an ineffective organization replete with gloryseeking insincere members foaming at the mouth with their ridiculous proposals and mo- tions. That year was the last hurrah for the excesses of the insincere gloryseekers, who continued to in- troduce their share of ridiculous proposals and motions, such as a suggestion that SGAts president be impeached at the very first meeting. But younger members showed more concern for their constituen- cies. In 1976, SGA managed to get then-Governor Daniel Walker to come to DePaul to explain the II- linois State Scholarship reduction. In 1978, a speaker's program was begun to aid students in keeping up with current issues. David Goldberger, Legal Director of the ACLU, was the first speaker. As the years progressed, per- sonal conflicts took a backseat to student representation. The SGA book exchange was expanded, and the student rights, orientation, proj- ects, and homecoming committees looked out for the students welfare. The financial advisory board made a point of keeping students informed about financial aid. Most important of all, SGA mem bers quietly and ef- fectively fought in the Senate and on Senate committees against proposed encroachments on stu- dents' rights favored by certain members of the administration and faculty. Although effective student representatives did not grab as many headlines as insincere glory seekers, Student Government remained entertaining, nonetheless. Protested elections and one-vote victories still occurred, and oc- casional temper flareups could still be seen at SGA meetings. And although the other student organizations and individual stu- dents did not grab as many headlines as these organizations, all of them had some impact during the last four years. Some events occurred without much student input, but they none- theless had a great deal of impact over the last four years. Forced to scrap the remainder of the ttPlan for Greatness of erecting new structures because 19605 plans did not coincide with 1970s economics, the DePaul administra- tion during the last four years em- barked on a program of acquisition and remodeling to serve the ex- panding Universityls needs. The purchase of the McCormick Seminary property provided a home for the School of Music, more stu- dent housing, and more athletic facilities. Portions of Lewis Center were remodeled, and renovation of Byrne Hall, home of the psychology department, was begun this year. In addition, the Goodman School of Drama became one of the Schools of DePaul this year in an at- tempt to fulfill the needs of students interested in theatrical arts. The long awaited university bar, the ZBT, opened on May 2, 1977, providing a convenient location to get a drink of beer or wine. The area that was formerly the Red Door Cof- feehouse was provided to quench the demand for beverages more in demand than coffee. But only two
