Will once defined a university as a collection of mutually repel- lent elements gathered together around a common concern for parking space. Will ' s description has a tongue-in-cheek quality. Yet, in a funny way, it causes us to look deeply into our “common concerns. Wherever we are living, working and playing, we are presented with the opportunity — if not the moral obligation — to realize the na- ture of our community: to find out it we are a collection of mutually repellent elements or a community of interdependent persons in which the best aspirations of all its members is supported. The George Washington University is by no means a traditional community- We have been mixed in with the diverse elements that make up Washington, D.C: governmental, commercial, international, indigineous, powerful, poor, transient and transitory. Our GW neighborhood is a smaller version of the larger complex urban society. We are a community of interdependent relationships. Whether or not we support the best aspira- tions of each other, we must recognize that we need not create our community. We must simply acknowledge that we are a communi- ty- As a university, GW is in its existance to help us understand the nature of all our earth ' s 36 community COMMUNITY 3 I communities — past, present, and future. At the University, we have the tremendous op- portunity to voice and support the highest values of the community. Often, these expressions of our values are evident through public pronouncements, programs and rituals. But more often than not, our finest values are revealed in un- announced, face-to-face encounters. An example of such a situation took place one drizzly cold December morning at Miriam ' s Kitchen. A particular nineteen year old student had arrived with several of her friends to help serve breakfast to the homeless people who had come by for food and assis- tance. It was barely six o ' clock a.m., and she was perhaps still sleepy, and not really thinking :V 38 COMMUNITY COMML MT 39 about what she was doing up so early. But white pouring a cup of coffee for one of the ' street people ' , Debbie was forced to think. Instead of accepting the hot drink, the man barked at her, Why are you doing this? Do you really think you can help me? Why are you doing this? This helping stuff went out in the 60 s! Debbie fielded the questions numbly. She was in D.C. to look for a Capital Hill in- ternship, and had not expected this kind of interview in or introduction to the city. The man ' s questions rang throughout the dining hall where about one hundred thirty folks assembled for a warm morning meal. Startled, Debbie paused awkwardly and deliberately. ' ' I just wanted to help,” she said. What the man thought of her answer is not 40 COM ML MTV known. Perhaps, in his blunt way, he was testing to see what brought her to help with breakfast that morning: compassion? guilt? curiosity? interest in a term paper topic or a t.v. story? Eventually, he resumed eating his meal, washing it down with a fresh cup of coffee . . . from Debbie. In the meantime, she was left to consider his questions and her answer. c 1 % COM ML MTV 41 At one time or another, perhaps everyone associated with or interested in projects such as Miriam ' s Kitchen consider such questions. The French social critic Leon Bloy wrote that the human heart has places that do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering, in order that they may have existance.” Debbie ' s en- counter was such a meeting. The man ' s emo- tional blast revealed his suffering. His ques- tions invited Debbie to consider the deeper meanings of that moment. Likewise, it was a challenge to all of us to understand our pur- community pose in this wonderful, terrible, beautiful world, Albert Einstein once questioned our pur- pose and concluded that our only security existed in showing respect for all living things. At the doorstep of the nuclear age, he realized that if our global community is to survive at all, we must exercise our fullest responsibility for all life. Einstein forged new horizons, based on his convicions that all the elements of our lives are inter-realted. His dreams were grounded in the belief that we are members of a global community, encompassing the entire earth. Yet with his visions came the familiar, incessant questions: What kind of community do we have? What is our common ground. To find these answers, we must use new COMMON in 43 Ki k ir l is learnings and resources, much like those we find through study and obtainment of our Uni- versity degree. We can be propelled into the fondest of personal hopes and expectations. Our knowledge can help us achieve our com- mitment to the highest aspirations of our com- munity. We can realize possibilities of resolving the world ' s conflicts in ways other than war. We can see to it that starving is not the only option for the millions without adequate food or water. Rather than live, locked in a world of fear and prejudice, we can learn and celebrate the 44 COMMUNITY � • differences of our cultures, races, and creeds represented not only in Washington, but across all the boundaries of our worldwide community. Such visions represent the best hopes of any community. Even George F. Will would have to agree that these are the common concerns of the George Washington University com- munity. Here ' s to hoping that you and all of our world ' s neighbors, will be able to use their gifts of knowledge, resources and dreams to give and receive the fullness of life to the community we share. k Santos Text Rev. by Bill Crawford COMMUNITY -IS WASHINGTON: Learning by Association Most of what we remember after we leave GW will probably be about people and places that are rarely mentioned in those oh-so- appealing information pamphlets distributed by those oh-so-eager admissions officers. For what we at GW know is that the University is more than just a school with buildings. We have an exclusive campus, Washington, D.C. And while dorm life, institutional food and boring classes are universal memories and nightmares of college, living in Washington is not. Washington, our campus, can not be summed up by a mere tour guide; it must be experienced. GW students have the unique opportunity to experience Washington in its fullest. The city itself engenders thoughts of people who are spending millions of dollars to live here for two, six, or maybe four years, with a renew able lease. Yet we don ' t have to pay this amount to live a few blocks from the House on Pennsylvania Avenue, or a metro ride away from the Hill. Rather, we pay a substan- tial sum, and get not only the great experi- ence, but an abundance of opportunity. Because through our location and purpose, we even get to associate with these same peo- ple that the rest of the country only sees on television or reads about in a magazine. For 46 COMMUNITY Ml Levine instance, the only thing separating a CW stu- dent intern from the congressmen and sena- tors he works for is the salary and color on the I.D. tag. These same students get invitations to thirst-quenching Capital Hill receptions. They have permission to enter into otherwise forbidden conference and dining rooms. It is a taste of American government that never gets diagrammed on a chalkbaord or explained in a lecture. It is only taught on Capitol Hill; and best yet, it is open to our students. There are times, of course, when we need to forget political parties, and go on to other types of parties, where people fight over beer and pizza, rather than candidates and def- icits. But even then, we often can not escape what this city is all about. For instance, on the Fourth of July, we use the grassy Mall as our bl anket, the Watergate Safeway as our picnic, and the Washington Monument and the Capitol as stages for the Beach Boys and the National Symphony. How often does one have the opportunity to buy food in the same building where the destruction of a president began, and then walk a few short blocks to sit on the steps of a memorial honoring a Presidnet who pre- vented the very destruction of this country? Very often, when one is a student herein D.C. As a University, we are continually invited to take part in the city ' s life. There are cir- cumstances which have no political ties or historic ties whatsoever - they are merely traditions or activities of a vibrant city. Halloween is one of these circumstances. Georgetown is barracaded to keep the spooks and students, ghouls and government em- ployees, confined to our favorite restaurants and bars t o have fun. For more artistic enter- tainment, we may venture to the Adams Mor- gan Day Festival to eat food and listen to music rarely heard between ivy-colored walls, let alone GW red brick walls. The neighborhood opens its doors for hundreds of people to come and enjoy themselves. Generally, we have taken these big events for granted. What seems so foreign to the rest of the country becomes to us locals a familiar way of life. The year 1 985 was different in that we were partially denied to experience one of the biggest events in historx — the inaugura- tion of a President was forced to cancel its outdoor festivities because of cruel. ic weather. COMMUNITN 4‘ Ronald Reagan was dented a coronation on Capitol Hill ' s steps, newly renovated build- ings were denied the chance to line the inau- guration parade route, and we were denied the chance to experience it. However, some of us braved the snow to watch the opening night gala on the Ellipse. Reagan sat in his booth protected from the firework remnants that stuck to our coats and scarves as souveneirs. Some of us even ignored the death-detving temperatures to stand in front of the White House to give the President a personal wave. Patriotism aside some of us just rejoiced in the day oft from school and complained when the networks preempted the soaps. Regard- less of w hat w e did we were someplace that thousands of people had travelled hundreds of miles to be in order to participate in some- thing our children will read about in a history book one day. There are times when one must kick back from the party and political scenes of D.C. For relaxation and unwinding, w ' e admit that our campus, Washington, has some of the best sports facilities of any University. Positioned between the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian are grassy fields that we use for our soccer, rugby, football and frisbee games. Our track around the mall is often used by senators to jog on, by tourists to stroll on, and by ourselves to bike on. For the less athletic, we have paddle boat rides that allow us to drift aimlessly on the Potomac to the Jefferson Memorial. Whether taling about a paddle boat ride, the inauguration of a President, an internship or a city wide party, GW has always been invited. Because just as our student body uses the city as its campus and playground, so does the city depend on us for activitiy, involve- ment, and input. The G.W.U. student body and the city of Washington are inseperable from one another. And while a guide book or admissions pamphlet may suggest that in a statement or two, the reality of this idea is apparent through the experience as a GW student. Text By Elizabeth Bingham 48 COMMUNITY ietl Irvine COMMUNITY 49 Growing Colonial Spirit Only about half of the students who bid farewell to George Washington University in May gathered under the banner Welcome, Class of ' 85 ' , four years ago. Perhaps that best exemplifies that the notion of class is an odd one when within the context of a modern, urban University like George Washington. The traditional images of camaraderie, cohe- siveness, and strong group identity generally associated with class membership do not fit here. This is not to say that something is amiss at George Washington. Tradition is simply not our longsuit, just as a need for affiliation is not characteristic of our student body. We are urban; we are diverse; we are transient; we are unselfconsciously divided in our affec- tions between the city of Washington and our University. Perhaps more than any other District of Columbia school, George Washington Uni- versity is intertwined with its city. This dual focus on city and school is at the heart of what makes George Washington University special and of what attracts to its doors so many inde- pendent, ambitious students. It is at the heart of what diminishes its students ' reliance on notions like class identity. Still, each year at Commencement we come around again to the idea of ' class ' , perhaps because in the emotional moment of graduation there is a need to attach a binding label to the assembly of individuals, even if the effects are only fleeting. Certainly, many of the students dressed in caps and gowns May 6 were not bound together by four years of shared experience. Degree candidates converged upon the Com- mencement ceremonies from a myriad of different paths. Many were not the GW fresh- men of four years ago. There were those for whom George Washington was only a part of their college experience, and those who had finished their course work on different time- tables. The diploma toting multitudes of May were indeed a very different group from those wel- comed in 1981. On balance their connec- tions did not run deep, though among the original members of the Class of ’85. perhaps there was an esprit de corps who had friends beside them that they had known long and well. Within this group lav the collective mem- ory of the class. From this group, the personal- itv of the class derived, and impressions of the class were formed. The Class of ' 85 s place in the history of George Washington University Student Life, though probablv forged in large measure b this faction of traditional gradu- ates is shared bv all who march with them. It is not too soon to look back and take stock of 50 COMM UMTS the class legacy. The freshmen of four years ago arrived on a University campus that would grow with them. In 1981 GW was evolving from a mixed assemblage of boarded-up town houses and excavation ditches to a sophisticated inter- mingling of historic preservation and soaring steel and glass. The Academic Center, 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Henry Building ex- tension, the World Bank building across from Thurston, and the National Law Center ex- pansion have all grown up along with the Class of ' 85 these last four years. As the bricks and mortar of the University were altered to accomodate the sheer growth in the number of students and programs, the spirit of the campus changed as well. The freshmen of 1981 brought a perspective dif- ferent from that of the upperclassmen who greeted them. The media called the class more conserva- tive than its predecessors, less socially con- scious, and more self-interested. From the be- ginning, the Class expressed concern about its COMMUNITY • 51 kfl Icvtrw prospects for the future — the slowing job market, the escalating competition for admis- sion to professional schools, the cuts in feder- al support for student financial aid, and the pervasive fear of nuclear war. Your college years have not been idyllic, but your anxiety about the future has probably been one of the driving forces in your consis- tent efforts to make your undergraduate ex- perience full and memorable. Your personal- ity has been anxious and active. Your style has been perhaps conservative, but also genera- tive and collaborative. Since 1982, members of the Class of ' 85 have taken the lead in campus governance and programming. You have been creative, competent and generous with your time. You have pressed your policy and programming interests effectively and have enhanced GW campus life. A Hatchet editorial your freshman year advised that ... if (students) approach the administration with an informed and justified argument, they can have a beneficial effect on the community. You have heeded this advice, and your influence has been con- siderable. The Class was instrumental in gain- ing, a hand for students in the University budgetary process, and has been outspoken on campus issues. Your help solidified the annual appointment of a recent graduate to the Board of Trustees, and you had success in reestablishing some of the traditional trap- pings of student life, Convocation and Home- coming among them. Each of your years here the Colonial Spir- it has seemed to grow a little stronger. You ' ve spread the spirit from the Smith Center to the Marvin Center to the University Yard as you ' ve turned out in record numbers for sports events. Labor Day Festivals, Halloween Par- ties, Super Dances, Martha ' s Marathons, ? e 5. ' U ft At 5 2 COMMUNITY Greek Weekends, GW Olympics, and Spring Flings. Classes before yours struggled in vain to bring concerts to campus, but you almost took them for granted — Flock of Seagulls, Talking Heads, the Clash. The Flatchet pronounced that the last of these put GW on the rock and roll map , a distinction which seemed to de- light many of you, though it raised some eye- brows in the administrative and academic hall- ways of the University. You ' ve had a good time for its own sake, and you ' ve had a good time in the service of your fellow students and your University. The Class of ' 85 was strongly represented among the Student Orientation Staff, the Peer Advi- sors, Admissions Representatives, SGBA Ombudspersons, and residence hall staff and student leaders. Your concern for the quality of campus life and willingness to volunteer have helped to make GW a better place for us all. On many college campuses it is traditional for the sen ior class to present a gift — a bench , a tree, a fountain — something to mark its having been there. That tradition, like the notion of class , is not Something we ' ve yet embraced, but tradtion or no, you are leaving us a gift more valuable than anything you could have purchased. You are leaving us the spirit you brought with you four years ago — a gift we pledge to keep alive. We will not forget you. Text by Gail Short Hanson COMMUNITY 53 Viewpoint: Class of 1988 August 25 . the GW campus is over- whelmed with family groups sitting fomlornly amid ten suitcases, a few foot lockers, and a stereo that looks like the P.A. System at RFK stadium. Mom ' s lower lip is trembling and Dad is either shaking your hand too vigorous- ly or hugging you too tightly. The main char- acter of this scene, and reteipient of all these well-wishes, is of course, the college freshman. There were a lot of steps taken to get to this point: completion of high school, sending out college applications, receiving rejections . , and then one day, a thicker than usual letter came in the mail — an acceptance to GW. But being accepted to the University does not really mean an automatic acceptance to college life. For the first time, many of these first year students will have to fend for them- selves — and that is sure to produce some adventures befitting Indiana Jones. I ' ll bet he shrunk his best jeans on the first wash, too. At noon on August 25, the hall staff reluc- tantly opens their doors to the thundering herd All staff members not needed for the administrative duties gather in the office to pray for the health and safety of the elevator ll never works, but they try. If you weren ' t fortunate enough to attend SARP, the Summer Advanced Registration Program, this is your first ' processing ' . Com- pared to what is to come, it ' s a piece of cake. You sign some papers, gel an information packet, (which you promptly neglect to read because of some exc use or another), pay your hall dues (after all, you ' ll probably never have any money again), and receive a little box of necessities to tide you over until you find Peo- ple ' s Drugstore. Mom and Dad usually leave around this time. Oh, maybe they ' ll take you out for one last good meal, but by nightfall, they ' re gone. This gives you the time to get aquainted with your roommates. Maybe you ' ll even play that great game with them called Battle of the Beds. Due to your new status as the lowest form of vegetable life known to man — the college freshman — most first year students are assigned to a triple or worse. Many a freshman has walked into his Thurston Quad to find his other three roommates already moved in, unpacked and best of friends. Oh sure, there ' s space for him . But the bed ' s in one closet, the desk in another, and his bureau top laden with another roommates stereo. Thus, the trials and tribulations of freshman life unravel. Speaking of unravelling, what happened to that nice blue sweater that Great Aunt Tess gave vou for graduation? You tried to do vour first load of wash? Let ' s face it, the college student and his laundrv are natural 54 COMMUNITY . . vi ; I. m ' it x - Icrr Levine antagonists, and the lists of excuses not to do laundry is directly proportional to the size of the heap in your closet. The typical student does laundry only when he runs out of under- wear. This is a traumatic day, (Mom always did this,) Who knew that 1 00% cotton clothes would fit Cabbage Patch Kids after you ran them through the dryer. Or that 501 ' s could tie-dye white shirts? After an experience like that, who wants to try ironing? All this worry and anxiety of freshman life can lead to one mighty appetite. That is the basis for the freshman ten. Shall we push for fifteen? But face it, one can only take so much of the food service ' s Savory Baked Chicken. So what ' s to do but head downtown for some of Washington ' s best munch material. There ' s a lot to choose from, your basic burger to exotic cuisine — Washington has itall. Unfor- tunately, it ' s not free, so although you ' ll prob- ably know every fast food restaurant in ten days, you ' ll probably be broke in fifteen. What only enhances this absence of money is that nestled between fast food hamlets are Washington ' s wonderful pubs, clubs and bars. The true secret to bar-hopping is to find a bar that suits your personality. That requires experimentation. Lots of experimentation. Your knowledge of fast foods will soon be exceeded by your knowledge of bars. The smartest thing to do when one is low on funds is to stick close to campus for the COMMUNITY 55 Risk Santo msat re ' x weekend freebies. Try a frat party — Delts, Tekes, Phi Sigs, Sigma Chis— hey, for a free beer, I ' ll consent to learn a little Greek, And frat party etiquette is so wonderfully relaxed: Don ' t bother to make small talk, don ' t worry about spilling on anything, aim for the front lawn if you get sick, and leave when the beer is gone. Now, somewhere along this settling-in pro- cess are classes you ' re supposed to attend, you ' re reason for being here. That ' s probably one of the hardest aspects of freshman year; learning to adjust to a schedule and setting your own disciplines. Because in college, no- body makes you go to class; no one makes you read or do homework. But then, one day, midterms hit you like a sledgehammer. Aren ' t bluebooks wonderful? I always thought it to be ironic that professors make you buy your own exam books. That ' s like telling a man you are going to hang him — and then sending him out to buy the rope. Midterms tell you what you ' ve got to get on finals — 97 ' s across the board. And that ' s to pass. No sooner than midterms are over, it seems like exams do, in fact, fall upon you. Your first college finals are like a first parachute jump. For the first thousand feet, the scenery is great, Reading week has produced some terrific par- ties. Then, about Sunday night, you start pull- ing the ripcord and hope your chute opens in time for that 1 :00 final on Monday. By Wednesday, your reaching for the emergency ripcord. 56 COMMUNITY B c •- But when you ' re just about at wit ' s end, they are over, and everyone is free to leave for a long and deserved winter break. For many freshmen, this is a chance to get back with friends at home and exchange experiences. One thing that many Gw students find out is that a GW Freshman experience is in many ways different from the typical freshman ex- perience. All the expected memories are there — the parties, pulling all-nighters for exams, room- mate problems and lack of money. But at GW, one often finds an added dimension that comes from the nature of the school: its met- ropolitan location, its attachment to political activity, its internation flair. Why, I remember going up in a filled elevator at the Marvin Center, and being the only one who spoke english. Now that ' s a memory that freshmen at other universities probably do not have. At GW, you learn about the different people, lifestyles and cultures that are worldwide. Because it is side by side with these diverse people that we experience GW during our first year as fresh- men They are our roommates. We go to par- ties and classes together, and we try to do our wash together without shrinking anything. And together, we came back from winter break, a little more confident because a se- mester is under our belts, and looking towards the spring.

STEWARDESS Please return your seatbacks a nd tray- tables to their upright and locked positions, the stewardess purred, as the Washington Monument slid by on the left. Thirty seconds later, we had come to a halt in front of the terminal building. The Stewardess welcomed us to National Airport, serving the greater metropolitan D.C. area and its environs. D.C. CAB Where to please I take you? I took three giant steps away from the grinning cabbie whose tee-shirt read, Lebanon — A great place to visit ... No. No. Please to get in cab. I ' ll go you where you want to take; I know Washington like the back of your hand. I had second thoughts until I saw the cab behind him. Its bumper sticker read. Conserve toilet paper. Use both sides. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY The cabbie dropped me off at Georgetown University. The problem was: I didn ' t want him to take me where I wanted to go; I wanted him to take me where I was accepted. I asked a student there for directions to Thurston Hall. A troubled look crossed his face. If his name wasn ' t Chip , one of his good friends ' was. Incubus! Incubus! They make them wear the horns, raved Friar Chip! A battalion of priests, security guards, and frequent guests of Nightline escorted me to what they termed, The Promised Land. What was that about being accepted? THURSTON HALL Where the hell is the ivy? We have no ivy, responded a democratically elected rep- resentative of The George Washington Uni- versity Office of Admissions, but we do have the yet-to-be completed future home of the World Bank across the street.

What a bunch of kidders — there were six, count ' em six, of us in that room. How ' s it hangin ' , Harv? The voice came from a smiling face on a top bunk across the room. It was 3:00 in the afternoon. I came early so I could get a top bunk. My mom told me to do that. I asked him if his mother also told him to use both sides of the toilet paper. He said she hadn ' t, but that he did so anyway. I opted not to shake his hand. The rest of SARP went by in a blur of place- ment tests, Frat rushes, pretty girls with ugly accents, and if that weren ' t enough, they guy who never left the top bunk was wearing . . . saddle shoes!

Of course, there ' s never just one. There ' s that whole crazy cockroach gang. 8ut as far as roommates go, at least cockroaches repro- duce silently. Roommates are also easier to get rid of. ROOMMATES If you should ever have the good fortune of being placed in a triple room with only one other roommate, it is your solemn duty to use any means , fair or unfair, legal or illegal, to prevent the GW Housing Office, under the watchful eye of Ann Oh Yes She Can Web- ster, from placing another student in your room. When the fateful day arrives and there is a prospective roommate at your door, here is a helpful list of do ' s and don ' ts: 1} Don ' t speak English. 2) Do explain that your last roommate com- mitted suicide by stabbing himself in the back. Then smile. Big smile. 3) Do feel free to sit on your bed in only your underwear and pick your toenails with a hunting knife. 4) Don ' t forget to include the phrase, They ' re asking for it . . . They ' re all asking for it. 5) Do remember to dive onto the ground and yell, Choppers, choppers!! 6) And whatever you do — don ' t forget to ask the question, Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? 7) Finally, you may want to bid him a farewell including the phrase, Thanks for stopping by. Remember, we ' re all Satan ' s children. ROOMMATES, IF THE ABOVE FAILS If the above fails, or if you get stuck with a roommate who either doesn ' t give you enough privacy or talks incessantly about the joys and heartbreaks of pursuing a Bachelor of Accountancy degree, you might want to bor- row a page from the Greg Fishman book of strategic warfare. Mr. Fishman, a private man who values his privates, was assigned to a room with then a nobody, now GWUSA President Ira C. Gubernick (still a nobody). Fishman recalls his course of action. I needed more privacy ... for various 60 COMMUNITY COMMUNITY 61 reasons . I had nothing against Ira ... so I built a wall around my bed. Some wussies just pul up tapestries or curtains, I bull a real wall. If I had my life to live over again, I wouldn ' t change a thing. SEX See ' Group Study . MEANINGFUL INITIATION Here ' s the catch: you gotta take 1 2 from 3, 1 2 credits from 3 areas, unless you ' re SPIA or SGBA or CIA or NRBQ, then it ' s 6 from 3. But if you take 1 2 from 3, 6 must come from each one of the 3, of which foreign language doesn ' t count, history is a social science, but art history is a humanity; history of science is not a science, but history of music is a human- ity. Art counts for nothing and Geography is a science — but only if you ' re in SBGA. Drama counts for nothing, but History of the Theatre is a humanity. Everyone takes Astronomy, so it must count for something; no one takes math, but that ' s a science. Political Science isn ' t a science, but don ' t tell that to Political Scientists. Philosophy is a humanity until you get your grades. You can take any course Pass Fail as long as you would have gotten an A anyway. You can ' t take meaningful initiation Pass Fail be- cause then it wouldn ' t be meaningful, and there are no other courses that you ' d want to take Pass Fail. And if you fail to pass a Pass Fail, it hurts your GPA, but if you fail to fail a Pass Fail you fail to help your GPA. DORM LIFE Dorm life is, of course, better than living in any prison in the United States. Unless you live in Thurston. In prison, they never put six people in the same ceil. Then again, Ann E. Webster was never a prison warden. For the freshmen accustomed to a strictly regimented home life, the freedom of dorm life offers many advantages. Consider the example of Michael C., a resi- dent in a Thurston suite for six. Michael, bored with his drab surroundings, decided to redecorate, utilizing the time — honored AT T motif. He garnered telephone books from locations from hither and yon, and stacked them along every wall from floor to ceiling. The proud Collegian declared, i ' ll never have to dial longdistance information again! Although Michael ' s may seem a bizarre ex- ample, he never quite managed to outdo his predecessors. That sextet was referred to as, ' ' Casting cal! for a Fellini movie. One erstwhile inhabitant of the room truly believed he was Benito Mussolini. He re- quested that his roommates, whome he refer- red to as his followers, only call him II Duce, They willingly complied because as one ex- plained. At least he made the trains run on time. Thurston Hall, also known as Little Col- ombia.” for its selection of USDA inspected high-grade cocaine, had occasional encoun- ters with the law. After being evicted tor pos- 62 COMMLMTY Ed Howard session with intent to sell, one legendary coke dealer lamented, Myself? How can I be con- cerned about myself? I ' m just worried about those poor kids. Now what will they do? What will they do? Of course, Thurston isn ' t the only dorm. There ' s always the Calhoun Residence for men and the Hattie Strong Residence for Women. For the student who doesn ' t care whether or not the trains run on time, who for one reason or another seeks to avoid frequent social intercourse with members of the oppo- site s ex, and who simply wishes to live life cleanly and prophylatically, Strong and Calhoun provide a modicum of docility, an i l island of tranquility. Others just call it boring. Madison Hall has earned a reputation as a jock dorm. Two years ago, however, Madison was a hotbed of some of Washington ' s finest and most imaginative practical jokes. On the infamous fourth floor, it was not uncommon to open your door in the morning and be greeted by a 50 gallon garbage can filled with water. The garbage can had, of course, thoughtfully been leaned up against the door at a 45 degree angle, and the water could usually be cleaned up afterwards by using an industrial strength indoor outdoor swimming pool vacuum. Another popular water prank required complicity between one ' s roommate and the residents of the room directly above. The roomate would con vice the unsuspecting vic- tim to stick your head out the window and look at the naked girl hanging out the window above. Ha! The joke ' s on you, as the fun bunch from up above, the same guys who set up a bowling alley but said not to worry about noise because they were only using ' duck pins, ' drop a bucket of scalding hot water on your head. Other options include dropping a one gallon can of oil base paint or two dozen eggs. But Madison pranking didn’t stop at water gags. It ' s hard to forget those bottle rockets that would come whistling underneath the door at 4:00 a.m. One particularly imagina- tive duo, upon discovering that all doors opened inward, decided to chain and pad- lock two doors together at 5:30 a.m., then knock on both doors and yell fire. They have yet to fess up. The textbook example of practical pranking gone awry occurred when the same pair de- cided to experiment with electricity. Moti- vated by a five dollar wager, the two began their prank by cutting the female end off a 60 foot extension cord. Ater plugging it in, they attached one of the bare wires to a brass doorknob and the other wire to a metal door frame. Then these executioners of Tomorrow bet on whether or not the unsuspecting drug dealer who answered his door would com- plete the circuit. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on whether you were the drug dealer of the guy who stood to gain five bucks, the circuit shorted on its own and dam- age was limited to blowing out the fuses on Madison ' s fourth floor. BOOK BUY-BACK Books are to be treasured. A book provides its reader with a lifetime ' s adventure in learn- ing, unless its reader needs to send Ma Bell $382.17 now and in cash. To raise the dough, the unsuspecting student will do almost anything, including selling his pre- cious tomes of enlightenment to the Wallace Book Company. Every semester, the Wallacites set up shop COMMUNITY 63 on the ground floor of the Marvin Center. The unsuspecting student waits on a long line, holding his books and thinking, gee, this must be a good deal, for all these people to be waiting here all afternoon.” He then steps up to the table, plunks down his books for which he paid several hundred dollars, and the face- less Wallacite takes the books, consults a computer printout, and forks over 32 dollars. What? 32 dollars? Yes sir. Those books are out of print. Then who are you going to sell them to?” Xeron, L ord of Sauerkraut. Take it or leave it. Jerk! Oh well, now that you ' ve explained it all to me ... Of course, now thoroughly embarrassed, the only slightly richer student slinks away afraid to cause a fuss. The line moves up notch. Most students, in fact, put up with the thiev ery. However, a good friend of mine one staged an insurrection which to this day give Wallacites sweaty flashbacks. Rather than re linquish one of his three copies of Plato ' s Re public, he shouted defiantly, This is a kan garoo court and you, sir, are a kangaroo! With that, he ripped the classic work ir half. THE LIBRARY There is a tremendous advantage to attend mg a school in a city that houses the Library o Congress, especially if you go to GW, where the library doesn ' t have diddly-squat. M COMMUNITY However, your chances of getting laid at the Library of Congress are far worse that at GW Melvin Bud” Gelman Library. Of course more important than finding a mate the library is an ideal place for the hedonistic pursuit of indulging slavishly in America ' s favorite pastime — sleep. What better place besides a crowded eco- nomics lecture hall at 8:00 a.m. than the li- brary to saw a few logs? The cozy climate, the overstuffed chairs, a political science text- book, and absolute silence (save the cracking of gum and indiscriminate farting), all con- spire to lull the victim into sand land. Remember, there are rules of library sleep- ing etiquette to be observed: 1 ) Don ' t slump over onto the person next to you, especially if he or she is a suspected Libyan terrorist. 2) Don ' t drool. 3) Don ' t talk in your sleep, especially if you have a past history of saying, That Mother Theresa is a thieving commie wench, or words of that ilk. 4) No matter how tempting it might seem, don ' t sleep in the nude. 5) It is generally considered poor etiquette to do any of the following: a) changing into satin pajamas b) wake up to a clockradio c) douse yourself in cocktail sauce and yell, I ' m Freddy the Fried Shrimp. THE TEACHING ASSISTANT This animal is to be avoided at all costs. The teaching assistant, or TA, is either a young graudate student who would lay down his life (and yours) for his professor, someone who speaks no discernable language, or a middle- aged air force officer who is danged tired of the Gl routine, and now wants to mold young minds. This particular species is found of calling you good buddy, or slugger, while simultaneously reaming you up the ass on a marginal grade. Here ' s a sample: Well gosh-danged there champ, I don ' t see what you ' ve got to be ashamed of. You know, slugger, an 89 golly holy moly percent is just the jim-darn-dandiest highest ' B ' you can get. I ' m damned proud of you. Damned proud, Actually, this example brings to mind the case of one economics professor, who upon recalculating my average for the semester, stated cheerfully, That comes out to a 89.7. That ' s a 8 . Now I could see your case if you came to me with a 89.97. That I ' d understand. I ' d understand, but I still wouldn ' t give you the ' A ' . Economists never round anything up. son. PERSONAL HYGIENE College teaches responsibility, so they say. In a perverse way, they ' re right. At home, when you leave your underwear in a pile in the corner of your room, you just do it: Young man, why did you leave your dirty underwear in the corner of the room? Are you a pig or are you just irresponsible? Gee mom, I dunno. You know what Sartre says about irresponsibility But at school, in your room, your castle for which you and possibly other young adults are responsible, you know exactly why you leave you dirty underwear in the corner: In case you have nothing else to wear. Because you haven ' t washed vour clothes in six weeks, because you couldn ' t find anybody with enough change for the machines, because you’d rather watch David Letterman than do your laundry, you ' ve been treeballing it for the past tw o weeks. If worse comes to worst, you can always wear vour underwear inside- out. After worse comes to worst, you can only COM MU NITS 65 give them to SAGA to make soup. The only solid rule concerning laundry is that you must wash your clothes when the pile in the corner starts to march around the room singing Ger- man war songs. THE HATCHET The Hatchet is not a newspaper; it is a group of people. The product of those people, a 20 or so page semi-weekly compilation of non -news events reported semi -we 1 1 as news, is merely a reflection of Hatchet personalities. One such personality, or one individual suffering from the advanced stages of multiple personalities coupled with a severe case of chronic Messiah complex, has become what Clint Eastwood has termed, A legend in his own mind. In a sense, he represents nothing of what any other Hatchet person — or any other GW student for that matter — is like, but in another sense, he represents the logical extension of everything illogical at GW. Thus, he serves as a warning signal to everyone else on the Hatchet staff. But at least he makes the trains run on time. For those who really desire an inside look at The Hatchet, the following anecdote may be enlightening: An editor: Are we making endorsements for GWUSA candidates? Elections are tomorrow. Another editor: Yeah, we sou Id endorse candidates. That ' s important. A third editor: He ' s right. It ' s our duty as the informed press to guide the ignorant read- er and help him make the right choice. Editor-in-Chief: Sure, man. You guys are definitely right. I ' ve been planning on making endorsements. Anybody know who ' s run- ning? ACADEMICS To be fair, we must admit that we have chosen to write about the insignificant. We have chronicled the trivial, lampooned the meaningless, and parodied the stupid, the wasteful, and the extravagant. We haven ' t gotten to the heart of GW; we ' ve journeyed through its lower intestines. Believe it or not, we both have found the academic life at GW to be stimulating, laud- able, and extremely underrated. We have en- countered professors who truly enjoy teaching students. Many of them, while not exceedingly famous, are highly accessible. Students can see their professors during office hours, rather than on Nightiine. Furthermore, we have found grading to be reasonable and challenging (usually). Moreover grades, while important, generally are not seen by professors or students as the raison d ' etre. In sum, GW already is a world class academic institution. So when someone asks you if you ' re proud that you went to GW, remember the words of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, a GW graduate: Does a fat dog fart? Jeff levine Text by Alan R.

Two rules seem to accompany making a move: one, you will always take too much, and two, you will always forget some- thing. If you add such miseries as an over- laden, stalling station wagon and the 100% D.C. humidity, what will you have? That aw- ful tension headache! The cure for this condition is completion of the task. Doctor ' s orders are to take a couple of footlockers and give a call when the eleva- tor ' s working. Several heave-hoes later, and all of life ' s prized posessions will be in your room. It may be a small space, containing one too many roommates, but it ' s yours. It will be the scene of improptu parties, all-night study sessions, and many conversations that will delve into areas such as what am I doing here? . Whether you are a resident, of Strong, Crawford, FSK or any of the other apartments or halls, whether you have a single or a room- mate, the main point is that you have made the move. And for many, that is step one in getting a degree. 84 jvwl MS Rtck Santos - N UALS 85 LABOR DAY It was a chance to say goodbye to summer. It was a toast to the start of a new semester. It was a warm welcome to friends and faces. It was labor Day, the GW way. There was much to do that day under the hazy, dazy D.C. sun. Not many resisted an outdoor party, a freebie to boot. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors — all set for one last fling before the first class. The Quad came alive in a sparkle of Uni- versity spirit. Students hopped and bopped to the strains of the Ravyns and the beat of NRBQ. The beer was abundant and the fris- bees were flying. Sunworshippers praised the rays. Bits and pieces of conversation floated on air, boasting of summer adventure and promising great accomplishment in the com- ing academics. Other events of the day included the Project Visibility Activities Fair, which gave students the opportunity to learn more about the va- rious campus groups. An Opening Convoca- tion, a SAGA barbeque and a flea market were also part of the annual extravaganza. All in all, the pace was slow and the atmos- phere relaxed. For Labor Day comes but once a year, so we do it right, the GW way . . . and that ' s with style. Bt - WLALS ANNUALS 87 HALLOWEEN Halloween is the great escape in the fall semester. Arriving conveniently after mid- terms and before Thanksgiving, it gives stu- dents the chance to dress up, get down, and freak out. The campus is haunted by characters of the weirdest type. C Street fraternities throw monster bash after bash. Why, a ghost could roam for hours, having a terrific time, and not get busted once. The greatest feature for Halloween night ' s creatures lies in Georgetown. The streets are closed off, and the college student is allowed to roam, up M and down Wisconsin, display- ed in costumes that are inhibited only by the imagination. Georgetown becomes a pageantry of the bizarre. It ' s a college level trick-or-treat. So whoever says that Halloween is for the young has never been to Washington. For we at GW know that Halloween in D.C. is one big bagful of goodies. 88 annuals ANNUALS S9 MDA SUPER DANCE The Super Dance is one of those knock-yer- socks-off, feel-good occasions. The annual ! party is an all-night marathon in which parti- cipants boogey to benefit the Muscular Dys- trophy Association. The year ' s Super Dance was an incredible success and a result of the hard work involv- ing many dedicated people. There were the coordinators, whose planning with commit- tees began months before the actual event, i Also important were the pledgers and suppor- ters, who donated money and assistance to Super Dance and it ' s cause. The fundraiser could not have been pulled though, without the people with the danc- feet. At first full of pep, at end exhausted, dancers were an energetic, determined bunch. All of these factors helped to create a suc- cessful Super Dance 1985, and achieved a re- sult of over $12,000 that will benefit the I Muscular Dystrophy Association. 90 A NlJ MS I Pvirw Rick Santos. MARTHA ' S MARATHON Going once, going twice, going three times . . . SOLD! That is the calf to Martha ' s Marathon of Birthday Bargains, the University ' s annual auc- tion to raise money for housing scholarships. Items that are auctioned range from the prac- tical and desirable, such as first pick of rooms in the housing lottery, to the downright offbeat, like being Dean for a day. This year ' s theme was Martha in Wonder- land. As students, faculty and administrators bid on various items, little Alices and Mad Hatters were busy making sure that all was running smoothly. At times the mood was festive. At times it was competitive. And obviously, it was profit- able, as over $7,400 was raised to help those in need of housing assistance. ANNUALS 91 ELECTIONS Controversy and accusations of voter fraud marred the 1985 Student Association elec- tions. Joint Elections Committee Chairman Andrew Tennenbaum battled the student court on the legitemacy of the elections. The court gave neither the I EC or the candidate plaintiffs a conclusive victory, ruling Thurston re- votes only in specific races. The campaigns themselves, however, were hallmarked by creativity. Program Board Can- didate Frank Farricker planned and im- plemented a parade on behalf of his cam- paign. The parade was featured on local D.C. television and ABC ' s Good Morning America. Ira Gubernick beat Ralph Schaffer for the GWUSA presidency while Mike Sonnabend edged out Frank Farricker in the hotly con- tested Program Board race. Tom Fitzpatrick, a successful candidate for the GWUSA Vice- Presidency, won by the largest margin of any candidate with 54% of the vote. 92 ANNUALS Rtck Samos ANNUALS 9J Rick Santos left Grouman HOMECOMING The George Washington University Home coming Part It. The tearjerking epic about an annual cam- pus event which disappeared from the Uni- versity in the mid-sixties. Somehow, some- way, it found its way back. Now it lives on, sweeping across the campus with its spirit. Thus is the saga of the GWU Homecom- ing ' s revival. In the mid-sixties, the Home- coming was discarded as a University event following the demise of football as a Universi- ty sport. But in 1983, it was reestablished as a con- scious effort to bring more spirit and support to GWU. It is now in its second year, and all seems to be running well. No, there still isn ' t football. But we have the GW equivalent — Colonial fever. This year, the men ' s basketball team was victorious over the Rhode Island Rams, 84-75. Thew ' omen ' s team was narrowly defeated in their game with Temple, 74-71 . These and other athletes W ' ere recognized at the Dinner Dance, held on Saturday night. Preceding the women ' s game on Sunday was a Brunch. All the events of the weekend were kteked-off with the traditional pep rally. Everything is going according to game plan. The Homecoming is off to an encouraging future. So don ' t change that dial. Stay tuned for next year — Homecoming Part III. 94 ANNUALS Jeff Grossman GREEK WEEKEND The George Washington University ' s Greek life seemed to experience a renewal during the academic year. There was an in- creased interest in the activities of the campus fraternities and sororities. Leaders of these groups became active in campus issues. Many groups had a growth in membership. When Greek Weekend rolled around in spring, the Greeks naturally came out of their houses and celebrated their popularity. Those previously uninvolved with the Greek system were able to see these groups in action and having the time of their lives. Events of the weekend included the pres- entation of the Greek God and Goddess awards in the Rat. Saturday events included many imaginative sporting games — fraterni- ties against fraternities, sororities against sororities. It was a weekend of celebration for a system that provides a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences to those who call them- selves the brothers and sisters of the Greek life.

Thurston, the University ' s largest residence hall, houses roughly 900 students, most of whom are freshmen and sophomores. It is a community in itself. At their annual block party, the Thur- stonites open their doors and spill out onto the street. The outdoor festivities stretch from 1 9th to 20th Street on F Street. The partiers ate and drank under the hot sun. For entertainment, GW ' s own talents strutted their stuff on stage. The annual event requires planning that begins early on in the year. It is the combined effort of many individuals that makes the party such a successful event. It is one of the last opportunities for the students of GW to gather as a collective body for a raucus day before sobering and somber! ng up for exams. 96 ANNUALS ANNUALS 9’ I SPRING FLING I Rrck Sonias It was a hot day on the GW campus. But hot does not mean that everyone stays inside. At least, when that day is set as ide to have a Spring Fling. The University ' s annual Spring Fling was held on April 20, Saturday, in the Quad. It was a chance to celebrate the end of classes, and let go before the stresses of exam and reading weeks set in. Free beer and soda were supplied by the Program Board. As they sipped and chugged, the party goers listened to the three bands of the day: Trouble Funk, The Fleshtones, and headliner David Johansen. At times, al I eyes turned to one of the attrac- tive diversions in the form of a dunking machine and a moon walk. The dunking machine enticed many a student to try their luck at managing to drench one of the student group leaders, such as Hatchet Editor-in- Chiet, Program Program Board Chairman, or the incoming GWUSA President. The moon walk allowed students who real- ly needed a getaway from the pressures of academia to go for a brief escape. But whether moonwalking, dunking, danc- ing or drinking, it was a guaranteed day of fun in the sun, one of the last of the spring semes- ter 1985. 98 ANNUALS Rick Santos Rick Santos ANNUALS 99 L SHOOT YOURSELL 102 SHOOT YOURSELF SHOOT OURSELF 103 104 SHOOT YOURSELF SHOOT YOURSELF 105 J06 SHOOT YOL RSELF SHOOT YOURSELF H)7 108 SH(X)T YOL RSELF SHOOT YOURSELF t09 no SHOOT YOURSELF SHOOT VOURStLF 1 1 1 112 SHOOT YOLRSELF SHOOT YOURSELF M3 114 SHOOT YOL RSELF SHOOT YOURSELF 115 11b SHOOT YOURSELF SHOOT YOURSELF 1 1 7 118 SHOOT YOURSELF v araaai 1 -_ M ‘ ' « K SHOOT YOURSELF 119 120 SHOOT YOURSELF SHOOT YOURSELF 12t i L PERFORMANCES _ Plays, Concerts Speakers 123 The Sock-hop era rolled into Washington when GREASE came to town as the Theater Department ' s fall 1984 production.

SPEAKERS tfcj Varsity Sports and Intramurals I b5 A Look at The Year For Men ' s and Women ' s Athletics The 1 984-8 1 ) season in George Washington athletics was, in many ways, the culmination of many of the changes that have been made over the last four years. As freshmen four years ago, we entered with high hopes for our school ' s athletic teams and over our tenure we experienced highs and lows with our athletic department, but most of all, we viewed an awful lot of change. Perhaps the biggest change came late this spring, with the resignation of Gerry Gtmel- stol) as head basketball coach and the subse- quent signing of new head coach John Kues- ter, formerly of Boston University. However, basketball was not the only sport to see a new head coach over the fast four years in the men ' s athletic department. With the exception of wrestling, swimming and crew, each intercollegiate sport has been led by at least two different coaches, some with even two different coaches in the same season. rhe men ' s athletic department administra- tion has had an almost entire facelift over the last four years. The biggest change came in 1 982-8 T with the departure of Bob Fans as athletic director, filling the shoes was a young, assistant athletic director from Penn, Steve Bilsky. The title of assistant athletic director changed hands three times, from Ber- nie Swain to Chip Zimmer to the current Tom Korpiel. One wonders how the athletic department was able to keep any sort of continuity or direction over the four years past. But some- how, despite the constant change, it was pres- ent enough to guide the athletes as evidence by some outstanding young stars. One of the these young stars was Mike Brown, who over the past four years was seen continually dunking, scoring and rebounding his way to All-American status and the NBA draft. Another one of the these outstanding perform- ers was Wade Hughes, who wrestled him- self into third place in the nation in the NCAA Championships. The men ' s soccer team combined under the direction of third-year head coach Tony Vec- chione to score 46 goals in 1984, the most ever scored by a Colonial soccer squad. The men ' s swimming team posted a 10-1 dual meet record under the direction of seven- year head coach Carl Cox, the best record ever by the team in the school ' s history in swimming. The women ' s athletic department has seen the emergence of outstanding athletes as well over the past four years. The women ' s basketball team, under the direction of Denise Fiore for the past four seasons, has produced several All- Americans. Senior Kathy Marshall garned Scholar- Athlete honors and joined the ranks of current team members Kas Allen and Kelly Ballantine in the All-American rankings. Cara Hennessey broke gymnastics records throughout her four year career at GW and in her senior year, her second as team captain, competed in the NCAA regional tournament. The last four years saw the addition of two new sports to George Washington: soccer for the women in 1981 and water polo for the men in 1 982. Both teams have seen continual improvement over the last tew years. The women ' s volleyball team has seen con- sistent success under the reign of longtime coach Pat Sullivan. The women ' s badminton team has seen member Peggy Boyle ranked nationally throughout most of her tour years on the GW squad. GW ' s role in the regional and national athletic community has also seen changes over the past four years. The men ' s athletic department moved with the majority of the membership fo the Eastern Eight Athletic Conference into the newly- formed Atlantic 10 Athletic Conference. The women ' s athletic department had little choice in 1982 but to move with the rest of women ' s athletic departments across the country under the auspices of the NCAA after The At AW disbanded. The women ' s depart- ment also became a charter member of the newly-formed Atlantic 10 Conference. However, despite the promises of this young conference, the question remains whether it will be able to retain the mem- bership of athletically-strong schools and make its way to prominence among the estab- lished conferences in the region such as the ACC and Big East as well as those throughout the nation. Probably the toughest problem the athletic departments face is finding an identity in the athletic community of Washington, D.C. 166 COMPETITIONS GW ' s top priority sport, basketball, has ex- tremely tough competition from national powerhouse Georgetown, its next-door neighbor. The women cagers face tough com- petition from nationally competitive Uni- versity of Maryland. Even in other sports, GW still has competi- tion in the local area, not to mention the Mid- Atlantic region and most of all, nationally. Still, GW ' s location in the heart of the nation ' s capital has its attraction and distractions to the campus athletically. The location attracts cer- tain types of student-athletes while its lim- ited sports facilities have dispelled many others. Still, the school must applaud the accom- plishments of the several athletes that have thrusted George Washington athletics into the regional and national limelight, but must not allow these fine examples to stand alone. The university needs to continue to upgrade and facilitate the athletic community as a needed and enjoyable force of The George Washing- ton University. But it seems that before athletics can reallv become integrated in the campus commun- ity, there will be a need for changes: changes in attitude, changes in facilities, changes in faces, to name just a few. But then again, considering the certain progresses of the past few years, changes are nothing unusual to GW ' s athletic community.

Once again, the hitting attack proved extremely productive, improvement was shown defensively, but the mound corps did not improve sufficiently to help the Colo- nials turn the corner. Led by the hitting of shortstop Tom Carroll, second baseman Kevin Fitzgerald and out- fielder Gregg Ritchie, the Colonials battled back from a 4-9 start which included a week in Florida playing against some of the finer col- legiate baseball talent in the nation.

Four years later he has more experience, the third place title in the nation and an over- all record of 182-17-1. Wade ' s career as a Colonial matman ended this past Spring as he wrestled his way to third place in the NCAA National Tournament and gained All-American status. Hughes defeated five opponents in the tournament before los- ing to number one seed and silver medalist in the 1984 LA Olympics, Barry Davis, by a score of 16-11. Wade ' s accomplishments at (he Nationals came after he won the Eastern Regionals for the second year in a row. He was also hon- ored earlier this season when he was selected by the National Wrestling Coaches Associa- tion to compete in the prestigious East-West All-Star Tournament. Wade, the first grappler ever chosen from the District of Columbia, won his exhibition match against Cordel Anderson of Utah State in the 126 pound class. Hughes ' natural skills have played a major role in helping him obtain these remarkable achievements while wrestling for the Colo- nials. However, head coach |im Rota feels that the credit belongs in Wade ' s tremendous desire to improve himself in every aspect of the sport. Wade began wrestling five years ago while he was a junior at Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C. He entered George Washington in the fall of 1981 and quickly established himself as a premiere wrestler, posting a record of 36-7 his fresh- man year. His sophomore year, he finished 41-2, and his junior year he compiled a total of 47-4. In Wade ' s final year he not only remained undefeated throughout all of his dual matches, but he also set a national record for wins in a season finishing 57-4. One of the reasons that Wade is an excep- tional wrestler is because he is a student of the sport. He doesn ' t resist change. If he sees a new move that may be advantageous, he will accept and learn it, coach Rota remarked. Wade ' s most exciting move is the body throw, which he executes beautifully. He takes himself and his opponent through a series of moves, and takes advantage of situa- tions that allow him to throw people. The perfection of this technique, coupled with the time Wade spent working out last summer to redistribute his body weight have helped him to learn the Greco- Roman style of wrestling that only permits the grappler to use his upper body. Wade plans to master these skills and try out for the World Team next summer. He then plans to start training for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea, a dream that could very well become a reality. Two years ago, Wade defeated Bert Govig by a score of 13-1. Govig was a starting matman in the 1 14.5 weight class for the U.S. in the 1984 games. The last four years on the Colonial Wres- tling team have proven to be very successful for GW ' s best-ever wrestler and the next four could prove to make him the world ' s best. 1 80 V AD£ HL’GES The Best is Yet to Come Dave Rfflkmd WADE HUCES . 181 Wrestling Senior captain Wade Hughes put the GW wrestling program on the national map this year when he placed 3rd in the NCAA Tournament and gained All-American status. The Colonial matmen, finishing their sea- son with a record of 13-10-1 gave a strong performance, despite having to forfeit 2 weight classes each match. Eight year head coach )im Rota received consistent wrestling from all pound classes to make up for the absences of the 1 1 8 pounder and the heavyweight. |r. Bill Marshall, a major force on the Colo- nial wrestling team for the past 3 years, posted a record of 30-15-4 to bring his overall record to 99-40-4. So. Steve Herrlein once again proved that hard work and determination are a sure fire combination for success. Herrlein wrestled to a record of 27-8 in the 142 weight class. Another Colonial sophomore who won consistently for GW is Chris Peterson who compiled a record of 25-1 1-1 in the 177 lb. class. Along with Peterson rookie |im Reffelt bol- stered the upper weight classes and was the deciding factor in several close matches. Ref- felt, normally in the 1 90 lb. class, was called upon to wrestle as a heavyweight against the tough Duke grapplers. He did, and won, giv- ing the Colonials a 23-22 victory and their first win over the Blue Devil s in 8 years. Fr. |oe Mannix, with a record of 24-10 and a 3rd place finish in the Eastern Regionals, was named Best Wrestler at the Capital Col- legiate Conference Tournament. Sr. John Cannon whose wrestling career was cut short by a chronic injury, served as the administrative assistant to Coach Rota. Although the Colonials are losing the ser- vices of their best ever wrestler, Wade Hughes, the returning matmen would con- tinue to keep GW on the wrestling map. 182 COMPETITIONS left Levine WRESTLING Opponent Score Howard 38-1 3 Johns Hopkins 32-9 1 West Chester 13-31 American 28-60 j Delaware 25-17 George Mason 25-20 Wi 1 kes 4-48 South Carolina State 36-18 Brown 26-21 1 Old Dominion 14-34 Campbell 22-2 1 Maryland 12-33 Duke 23-22 Coppin State 36-21 Shippensburg Delaware State 18-25 33 16 Liberty Baptist 22-22 Morgan State 9-37 V r M.I. 11-29 Fairleigh Dickinson 42-18 Loyola 45-3 James Madison 1 3-32 Rutgers 15-31 | Seton Hal!

Flippsie, the 5th leading scorer, qualified for the Junior National Water Polo Championship Team and will spend the sum- mer on a European tour. GW ' s leading scorer, )r.

COMPETITIONS 187 John Hrastor Working Hard Mike Brown, the man touted as the New Washington Monument, proved himseif to be the driving force of the Men ' s Basketball Team over the past four years. Brown, the first player signed by Gerry Gimelstob four and a half years ago, helped to mold the Colonials into a competitor in the Atlantic Ten. The 6-10 260 pound senior center who became a landmark in his own right on the George Washington University campus can reflect on his college career with much satis- faction and few regrets. Brownie ' s senior season, that started with predictions of a first place finish in the Atlantic Ten, ended in obscurity. The Colo- nials, after suffering through injuries, internal conflicts, and player coach disputes, finished their controversial season in a cloud of mediocrity. Brown could not practice with the team throughout the second half of the year after an unusual injury hampered his play. The Colonials ' Big Man, however, re- bounded, exhibiting some outstanding play. Performances, such as the game over Rut- gers where Mike broke a Smith Center record by scoring 40 points were just foreshadowing of what the future holds for one of GW ' s most talented athletes ever. The June draft is approaching and profes- sional coaches are scouting Mike Brown with much intensity. Brown gained national atten- tion when he survived the first few cuts of the Olympic tryouts in 1984. He was eventually dismissed from the squad in the final round, but not before he proved himself capable of playing with the best. Mike has been very pleased with George Washington over the past four years and the University returns the compliment. Anyone who has seen at least one Colonial basketball game knows that Brown ' s peers and fans exhib- ited their appreciation of Mike ' s talents at every basketball game that he played in. The Colonial program has changed in re- cent years and Brown has been a big factor. The resignation of Gerry Gimelstob came af- ter the end of Mike ' s college career, but Brown feels that the new coach ' s technique coupled with the players remaining from Gimelstob ' s reign will mold GW into a serious basketball contender. Mike feels that John Ku ester ' s record as a coach and as a motivat- ing factor to his players stands on its own. Kuester will be able to turn the CW program around. Brown, a Criminal Justice m ajor from East Orange, New Jersey has achieved a great deal both academically and athletically. He com- pleted his requirements for his major by in- 188 IOE - SSEL terning at the D.C. Superior Court, working with young people who could look to him as a role model. Mike hopes to enjoy a successful career in professional basketball and then pursue a career in Forensic Sciences after his playing days are over. The many people who have grown to like and respect Brown over the past few years know that he can achieve these goals. The Men ' s Athletics Department has under- gone some major changes over the past four years but a few things remained stable. Most important was Mike Brown ' s performance on the basketball court. The Washington Monument that stands in the middle of the Ellipse is visited every year by thousands of tourists. Those of us that had the opportunity to see Mike Brown play ball for George Washington know that wherever the New Washington Monument plays pro- fessional ball the fans will flock out in similar numbers. Mike Brown ' s senior complement over the past season was co-captain Joe Wassef, a player who has come leaps and bounds since entering GW four years ago. Wassel, a native of Phoenixville, Pennsyl- vania, was another of the first recruiting class of Gerry Gimelstob. However, it wasn ' t until his junior year, after spending much of the time on the bench as a underclassman, that Wassel became a force in GW basketball. It wasn ' t until this past season that Wassel really came into his own as a top performer on the court and oftentimes a starter. Wassel was one of the leading scorers on the team this season, coming in second only to Brown, with 394 points and 77 rebounds. Wassel was the high scorer in almost half of GW ' s contests this year, including a new record in free-throw percentage with 1 ,000 (10 for 10) against St. Bonaventure. The NBA draft in late June could also be a possibility for Wassel though his chances cer- tainly aren ' t as strong as Brown ' s his chances are still good nonetheless. After his brief spot in the limelight for George Washington this past year, it seems obvious that there is still more to come from Joe Wassel. On and Off The Court MIKE B ROVW 189 Rick Santos Men ' s Basketbal By the time November rolled around, GW basketball fans had been hyped to death about the season that was about to begin. However, by mid-March, the season that wasn ' t about to be had commenced. By mid-April, head coach Gerry Gimel- stob ' s four-year reign over the program had ended in a letter of resignation. Yes, these are the highlights, but there is much to explain. GW ' s highly touted class of ' 88 had brought high hopes to basketball enthusiasts. After last year ' s 1 7-1 3 finish and the Colonials first ever win in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tourna- ment, it was believed that the addition of these freshmen to the existing basketball framework would provide the final touches for a first place finish in the A-10. Russian-born Max Blank, the highly-touted recruit from George Washington High School tn Philadelphia spent his summer before en- tering GW recuperating from knee surgery. Although Blank was expected to recover from the surgery and take pressure off of 6-10, 265 lb, senior center Mike Brown, Max was never able to regain his form to contribute signifi- cant playing time. Max Blank, however, was not the only player to be plagued by an injury throughout the entire season. Brown, a pre-season All- American, suffered an unusual injury that hampered his play and allowed him to prac- tice with the team only tw ice from December to the end of the season. However, there was still quite a bit that GW fans had to cheer about during the four- month season. GW got off to a fast start, winning four of its five games before falling in dose contests against nationally — ranked Michigan State and Kansas before beginning their conference play. Despite the freezing temperatures in D C. in January, GW had a hot start in the A-1Q downing conference rivals Duquesne and West Virginia convincingly. However, the Colonials were never to re- peat another such week throughout the re- mainder of the season. Perhaps the highlight was GW ' s 20 point routing of rival Rutgers before a capacity crowd. GW ' s 96-77 win over the Scarlet Knights where Brown scored 40 points and pulled down 16 rebounds to break a Smith Center record, showed a glimpse of what might have been. Despite his injury, Brown still led the team offensively, scoring 432 points and posting 287 rebounds. Senior co-captain Joe Wassel came into his own this season, as the Colonials ' 2nd second-leading scorer with 394 points and 77 rebounds. Wassel was the high scorer in almost half of GW ' s contests this year, includ- ing a new record in free-throw percentage with 1,000 (10 for 10) against St. Bonaventure. junior Mike O ' Reilly held together the Co- lonial defense throughout most of the season, though making a significant contribution offensively, as the Colonials ' third leading scorer, totalling 21 6 points, 29 of these three- 190 COMPETITIONS leff Levine COMPETITIONS 19! Jr ' ir i-v nt ' point field goals. He led the team in assists with 1 1 1 and stole the ball 45 times in his 28 game appearances, 27 of which he started (the highest mark on the team.) O ' Reilly ' s classmates, Chester Wood and Darryl and Troy Webster all scored over 100 points each. After being plagued by injuries last season, third-year team member Steve Frick reemerged into the starting lineup 18 times this season. However, GW ' s loss of six of their last 10 games could not be completely attributed to poor play and tough opponents. Rumors of dissension among the team and between coach and players reached a peak as Coach Gimelstob suspended two players from the Rhode Island game after a 24 point loss to $t. Joe ' s two days before. GW entered the A-1 0 Tournament in early March with many of the tensions still promi- nent. The Colonials were unable to make it past the first round, falling to St. Joe ' s 52-49 in the opening game. The loss of Brown and Wassel heightened fears about what would happen to GW ' s team next year but not even as much as the thought of no head coach at the start of the signing season. With Gimelstob gone and a fast — approaching recruiting season, one wonders if GW will ever be a name on the national basketball map. Pending events in the next few months, Colonial basketball fans should have an idea of what to expect — by the middle of November. 192 competitions Rick Santos w MEN ' S BASKETBALL Opponent Score Randolph-Macon 65-56 American 83-59 Morgan State 115-67 Xavier 79-87 Lehigh 76-49 Michigan State 54-68 Kansas 70-76 Towson State 53-50 ' West Virginia 71-67 Duquesne 83-66 St. Bonaventure 61-65 Temple 55-62 Penn State 69-65 St, Joseph ' s 62-75 Massachusetts 69-59 Rutgers 73-80 Rhode Island 93-84 Rutgers 96-77 Virginia 42-51 St. joseph ' s 40-64 Rhode Island 84-75 Penn State 67-70 j Massachusetts 55-63 Temple 54-56 St. Bonaventure 71-56 Duquesne 99-60 West Virginia 63-73 Atlantic Ten Tournament St. joseph ' s 49-52 Final Record: 14-14 (9-9 in conference) £ 5 «= it COMPETITIONS 193 Women ' s Basketball The women ' s basketball team had its share of ups and downs during the 1 984-85 season, finishing 11-14 overall despite a 1 -8 mark in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

But she ' ll admit to having been just slightly nervous about being selected to be the student speaker at this past Spring ' s School of Public and International Affairs graduation cere- monies. Apparently, hitting two pressure free throws in front of a large crowd and speaking to that crowd are two very different things. Kathy always finds a way to succeed, says GW Women ' s Basketball Coach Denise Fiore. Fiore saw Marshall find a way to suc- ceed; be it hitting the long jumper or making the short pass. Marshall ' s professors saw this student-athlete make good use of the time she had off the court and earn a 3.74 cumulative grade point average during her college career as well as a perfect 4.0 the first semester of ther senior year. Marshall attributes her dual success in the classroom and in the basketball court to the application of classroom lessons to the game of basketball and vice-versa. She taught herself to be a good test-taker by evaluating each question and eliminating the wrong choices. She became GW ' s all-time leading playmaker by applying the same rule to basketball. When bringing the ball up- court Marshall evaluates the defensive set-up, eliminates the poor choices and more often than not makes the pass that leads to a GW bucket. During her four year basketball career at GW, Marshall made 591 such scoring passes. The plaudits for Marshall ' s performance, both academic and athletic began early in her college career and hasn ' t stopped since. As a junior she lead the Atlantic Ten Conference in assists per game and was inducted in Phi Beta Kappa. She also earned the Women ' s Athletic Department ' s Abbie Oliver Smith Award in rec- ognition of her academic and athletic achievements and was named to the Atlantic Ten Conference ' s Academic All-American Team. At the end of her senior year she earned the squad ' s most valuable player award, was named to the District II CoSida Academic All- American Team and was admitted to Harvard Law School. Her GW career came to a fitting climax when she became the Department s first NCAA post-graduate scholarship winner. Marshall was one of only 10 female student- athletes in her sport, among thousands of nominees nationally, to be so honored. Kathy Marshall truly was what we hope every athlete aspires to be at GW, ' ' says Coach Fiore, an outstanding athlete and an outstanding student. Kathy has helped set a very strong foundation for our program upon which it can continue to grow toward excel- lence in both areas. Kathy overcame her pre-speech jitters and delivered an eloquent commencement address. Latest reports are that Kathy is not at all nervous about beginning her first year of Harvard Law School this fall.

Area Championships — also known as the Cadle Cup. And for the second year in a row, GW came home a winner with a time of 5:53.0 to Georgetown ' s 5:53.9 in the Varsity 8 race. Last year, GW won by a one-tenth of a second over the Hoyasfor the first Colonial win in over two decades. The two crews met twice earlier in the season and split, but GW had rowed a strong second to traditional row- ing power Temple prior to the Cadle Cup and went in with a lot of confidence. GW took an early lead in the race, but all the crews had to restart the race after two recreational canoeists impeded Georgetown at the 1 ,200- meter mark. For GW, freshman stroke Robert Bartlett was suffering from stomach pains at the restart but nevertheless rowed a powerful race. “He did an amazing job, said GW coach Paul Wilkins. Robert was really sick to his stomach, but he did not let us down. That was the most courageous athletic performance I ' ve ever seen. 200 COMPETITIONS k ' it Levim?

For the novice boats, the greatest fulfillment came from realizing that they had survived the rigors of the sport.

The A boat raced junior varsity boats through much of the season, as their 1-3 record reflects. The varsity women were plaqued with in- juries; both stroke Jennifer Keene and six seat Betsy Keleher rowed with serious back prob- lems. However, their strong showings at races weren ' t a reflection of those problems. The crew finished the season with a 3-1 regular season record, along with a fourth place finish in the Augusta Invitational and a victory in the petit finals at the Dad Vail Championships in Philadelphia.

THE UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS At the beginning of the 1 980 ' s, Dean Sullivan took heed of the CW President Elliot ' s efforts to improve the academic quality of the University. The culmination of Dean Sullivan ' s own efforts was the creation of the University Professor position. The CW University Professor Program is tailored in the same way as other universities with a similar pro- gram. It consists of a small number of members, who are noted scholars. They are broad based, and while still teaching, nevertheless teach a smaller nupiber of classes. However, their work often covers a greater variety of subjects and xields. Lastly, a University Pro- fessor does not spend as much time in committee and departmental work as his other colleagues may. Thus, the University Professor was not created as a rank of super professor or a higher rank than profes- sor. Instead, it is as if they were given a ' hunting ' license to roam around related fields, exploring the boundary of academia. They strive to integrate their fields with others to create new approaches to intellec- tual and academic endeavor. HOSSEIN NASR I represent both in my academic life and in myself Islamic art and culture, and I want to represent this aspect both in my courses and in my physical presence, and create at GW and in D.C. a major center of Islamic Studies, and bring to the scene, to solve the present day problems, the intuition, intelligence and aspects of Islam. Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr is the most recent appointment to the ranks of University Professor of Islamic Studies. Professor Nasr re- ceived his education in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at Harvard, where he received his M.A. and Ph.D. before returning to his native Iran to teach at Tehran University. He was the first professor of Islamic Studies at the American Uni- versity of Beirut, a visiting Professor at Princeton University and a full Professor of Islamic Studies at Temple University before coming to GW in the spring of 1984. Founder and first president of the Iranian Academy of Philosophy, Professor Nasr is also involved in the planning of the World Congress of Philosophy conference at Brighton in 1 988, and sits on the steering committee of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies along with Professor Caws. Professor Nasr also participates in and is associated with the organ- ization of numerous international conferences concerning various aspects of Islam and Islamic civilization. He gave the prestigious Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh in 1981. His works include over 20 books and 200 articles translated into numerous languages. I see this role of the University Professor as twofold. First, to be able to cross boundaries of various disciplines and bring them together through both classes and writings. Secondly, to bring to the everyday programs of the University the best scholarship available and there- fore, be a kind of catalyst to bring excellence to all kinds of fields, especially the Humanities. Professor Nasr has emphasized two areas of study in his own re- search, intellectual tradition and Islam, and the philosophical and spiritual significance of Islamic art. The importance of the traditional studies, Professor Nasr feels, is that it takes into account the connec- tions and encounters between Islam and the West. Professor Nasr has devoted his life to studying various aspects of Islam, and hastricd to achi eve theembodymentoftheessenceoflslam in his life. His current interest in furthering this endeavor is in making high quality documentary films that explain the Islamic philosophy of the West through an explanation of Persian and Islamic Art. 2 12 UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS Dave Riibnd PETER CAWS “I think that Philosophy has a lot of work to do that no other discipline can do, that is, to raise fundamental questions about the state of the world and the fundamental needs of people . . . The thing I would really like to do eventually is to understand the questions of war and peace in this time. Professor Peter lames Caws was the third scholar to be named University Professor at GW, and the first appointment to be supported through a Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Caws was born in Middlesex, England and received a B.Sc. in physics from the University of London. He came to the United States, and earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Philosophy at Yale. Before becoming a University Professor in 1982, Caws served as executive associate to the Carnegia Corporation of New York, Profes- sor of Philosophy at Hunter College in New York and at the Graduate School of City University of New York (CUNY). Professor Caws is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the American Philisophical Association, the Board of Distinguished advisors, the Society for General Systems Research, Comite Directeur, Federation Interna- tionale des Societes de Philosophie and as a member of the steering committee of the International Federation, along with Professor Nasr. He also is a member of the World Conference of Philosophy, planning the world conference in Brighton in 1988 with Nasr and four other members. His latest works include The Bankruptcy of Academic Policy and Sartre, and he has completed specifications for a new type of science museum arising from the feeling that all disciplines are accessible to everybody, and the work needed to validate accessibility. Noted scholar Caws has his concentration and interests in philoso- phy, in the areas of philosophy and psychoanalysis, and philosophy and politics. He has taken new approaches to philosophy in both of these areas, and has published the interconnections between these two fields to the very boundaries of the discipline. Professor Caws emphasizes the aspect of the University that is most important to him is the ability to transcend discipline boundaries and work with other scholars of other fields. Lest that sound easy though, you must realize that you have to show the people in that discipline that you can talk their language and read their works. Because of his background in physics. Caws has found that he is able to make interconnections between philosophy and science. He is expanding this type of study to other related fields, with emphasis on philosophy and technology. To balance his academic endeavors. Caws has recently rebuilt and restored a house on the south of France in High Provence. He travels to France frequently, speaks french as a second language and enjoys doing work on the French philosophers. U N I V t RSIT Y PROF ESSORS 213 MARCUS CUNLIFFE My main interest, part of the challenge, is to state the American essence in a fresh way and a bold way. Comparative circumstances lend themselves to a fresh understanding and approach. 1 ' Professor Marcus Faulkner Cunliffe was the second international scholar to be appointed to the ranks of University Professor, joining the GW faculty in I960. Cunliffe was educated in his native England at Oxford University and the University of Manchester. Before coming to GW, he taught at Harvard University, the Uni- versity of Michigan, the City University of New York, and served as the Jefferson Memorial Lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley in 1976. Professor Cunliffe also taught American Studies at the Uni- versity of Sussex and the University of Manchester. During 1977-78, he was appointed to a fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars in Washington. In his dual role of British historian and distinguished commentator on American life, Cunliffe has been appointed as a fellow to the Royal Historical Society, and serves on the editorial board of the British Association for American Studies. Among the over fifteen books he has written and edited is the biography, George Washington: Man and Monument. Currently, Professor Cunliffe is in the final stages of a revised and enlarged edition of his work Literature of the United States, and is working on a book on Republicanism in America, expected to be finished by the end of this year. The comparitive approach, comparing developments in America to those in his native England, is what Professor Cunliffe feels to be the best way to understand American life. He also feels that the University Professor role allows him to stay loosely defined, as well as cut spacially and chronologically across American history and literature, The position also allows Professor Cunliffe to become more diversi- fied throughout a larger number of fields. He says, I think there is nothing more depressing to consider than a scholar, who at the end of his life, has spent thirty or fourty years studying a twenty year period. After serving as an intelligence officer in the British Army, Professor Cunliffe took up rock climbing and building climbing in Oxford and Cambridge. At this time, he no longer climbs mountains, but has turned his interests towards collecting maps and mapping. He has also considered sailing on the Potomac as a possible escape from the rigors of the academic world. His philosophy of life governs these extracurricular activities in that he feels the fundamental thing is, whatever you do, it should make you more observant.” foroen of the most noted scholars on American life, being observant has created a fascinating professor who knows many details, yet continues to stay broadly defined so that he may apply those details to the overall conceptual picture. 214 l ' S[ VERS ITS PROFESSORS R cL Sanlos Dave Rtfkind AMITAI ETZIONI I sometimes feel I ' m already on my fifth life, somewhere before I was an advisor to the White House, somewhere before that I was a commander of a combat u n it i n wh ic h the greatest ach ievement was to lend a hand grenade in the window of a moving tank, before that I was a refugee from Germany who doubted that he could ever learn a new language and culture. I sometimes wonder what would have hap- pened if I had stayed put and did just one thing. Professor Amatai Etzioni is the first University Professor to be appointed at the George Washington University. Etzioni was educated in Israel, after leaving Germany, at Hebrew University, where he received a B.A. and M.A. Later, at they University of California he recieved a Ph.D. In 1 958 he began teaching at Coumbia University, and in 1 968 he founded the Center for Policy Research, dedicated to public policy, and has served as director since its inception. He remained at Co- lumbia for twenty years, leaving to serve as Guest Scholar at the Brookings Institution during 1978-79, and as Senior Advisor in the Carter Administration White House during 1979-80. In 1983, Etzioni was appointed to the economic forum of the Conference Board, and has served as a consultant to AT T, Beth- lehem Steel, Bristol Meyers and Prudential, among others. Professor Etzioni has consulted for the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, Commerce and Treasury, as well as on the President ' s commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. His latest works include An Immodest Agenda and Capital Corruption. Since his arrival at GW, Professor Etzioni has espoused to students his philosophy of sociology. ' ' I think sociology is a way to open your eyes no matter what your background, and I ' ve always taught it that way. Professor Etzioni has continued to do work on the contemporary American society, currently doing work on the economics aspects and issues of American society, and work on solutions to the difficult economic problems that face America today. Professor Etzioni has and continues to make important and lasting contributions to both the academic world and the public policy deci- sion-making world. He feels that his new home at GW allows him to better make contributions to both sides. There are dangers on both sides. There is the danger one will become academic in the bad sense. There is also the danger that one will become political in the bad sense. But the University downtown allows you to balance the two. Etzioni feels, however, that GW is not the final step, but it is more than just one more step. What it is, is being in Washington , where you can combine scholarship with caring about society. You can do good academic work without living on the Eastern Shuttle and still relate to the policy making communities. Besides making important contributions to policy development. Professor Etzioni enjoys playing raquetball and staving in shape He devotes a lot of time to raising his five sons as well.

Al the end of most yearbooks the editor tries to thank al l the people in the world for all their help and talk about how muc h they have grown in the? last year and how the yearbook has contributed to their personal experiences. Well, that has not necessarily happened. What has happened this year is that many people c ontributed to a book for no apparent reason, they got together to have some fun. What makes the yearbook such a valuable experience (I was |ust flashed in the eye by an Olympus) is that the people who work on it think that it is such an important part of the university. I now sit at the typewriter with coffee spilled on my copy sheets. This is another type of final page which makes me ill. The idea that seniors ten years from now actually care about what the editor thinks and that coffee is spilled on the copy sheets is beyond me. At this point t am completely tired of college yearbooks. I have worked twenty hour pro- due lion nights and feel sick because lack of sleep. Thfs is nothing to romanticize in the last page of the book. Most yearbooks are attempts to try and cap- ture a year specifically and four vears general- ly. To do this one must not try and make the book important in and of itself, but let each aspect of it be a means to challenge one ' s imagination and creativity. If creating a year- book becomes stagnant, then get out. This year as a whole has been productive in many ways and a royal pain in others. 1 have had to make many decisions that have not been popular, but necessary in the creation of this book that will hopefully be for each per- son something that they will be able to smile at. I did not want a book representing one specific area of the university, but, rather a random sample of the diversity which is the essence of GW, Finally, i want to explain what this book actually means: Anything you want it to. To me, if you care, it is a chance to express my personal creativity. Some of you may ask if I have any. The pictures on this page have no real meaning. Some say I look like Springsteen in one and I like the pictures of my friends, but I put them in for no better reason than I could not find the negatives that I wanted to print on this page. I hope the book will bring back memories of the many good and interesting times here at school. I also hope that you might read this page and smile. If not, then it is at the back of the book and you won ' t have to turn back to this page again. I could not have done anything regarding this book alone. It was a combination of the creative efforts of many people, I only hope that I was able to help them with their many creative efforts. 340 THE END LCC IS- 14 4 Copvnght Richard L.
