Dr. Tom Hachey, known to history victims as the Voice of the Varsity, is an unfair victim. He’s a victim of a strange mystique that surrounds and complicates the image of a very uncomplicated. personable, and friendly man. Hachey is the object of a mixture of awe-struck fascination, much respect and freshmen female adulation. For all intents Tom Hachey is a member of that select group of profs that has achieved superstar status among the student populace. • But the handsome, boyish-looking professor is uncomfortable with the glittering image his students have painted. He thinks it could be a barrier that keeps many students from seeking his help and advice. Hachey is happy at Marquette. though dissatisfied with the cramped, large group lectures of the Varsity. Though constantly busy with a dizzying schedule of classes, the professor does slow down. Relaxing at home means anything from reading a book to sitting in front of the TV set with beer to watch football. He holds to the opinion that a house is to be lived in. Hachey does not want to be seen as a superstar. He wants to be known as a good professor. Above all he wants students to think of him as a regular guy. 1 5

Or. Gloria Brundage advanced upon Marquette's college of Journalism with her wispy platinum curls and flut-tery false-lashed eyes in 1971. Her unabashed approach to life, idiosyncracles of character, and purple laced boots left the J-school family chuckling. Despite impressive credentials, including a Ph D. in mass communications from Columbia University, students quickly dubbed Dr. Brundage the Space Queen. One senior described it as absent-minded brillance.” If she is the creature of another planet, however, it's definitely one of an advanced intellectual and motivational culture. In her own unorthodox way. Dr Brundage is making more than ripples in the J-school waters. We re not training all Pulitzer Prize winning journalists here. she philosophizes. Most of these people are going to be everyday newspapermen in local communities, and darn courageous people at that.” A woman who was at the desk of the Washington Post when the news of D-Day broke might find teaching reporting courses at Marquette rather dull. But Dr. Brundage makes a career of keeping her life challenging. She refers to her life at Marquette as satisfying enough. Satisfying to Dr. Brundage would be considered feverish to many. Beyond her Marquette-related activities. Dr Brundage dabbles in fre-4ance work for a myriad of publications. All in all. the Space Queen” has made her visit to earth noteworthy, a fact the world will have to acknowledge when she's placed in the 1974 edition of Who's Who Among American Women. 1 6
