Always exciting, never predictable, Boston is the perfect backdrop for a fast-paced college like NU. During our five years in Boston, we ' ve seen the city change and grow just as we have. A rejuvenated downtown, new housing, and — closer to home — the Southeast Expressway project, building the Southwest Corridor, and revamp- ing the Arborway line (probably the slowest in the world), were among the changes we witnessed. Left, an overview of NU and the surrounding community. From this vantage point in the Prudential, NU doesn ' t seem as large and overwhelming. Another facet to Boston, and its traf- fic, noise, and general confusion, is its ar- chitecture. From the majestic gold dome of the Statehouse (on the next pa ge), to the rows of colonial houses on Beacon Hill, and the aesthetic beauty of the Christian Science Church, (pictured left), Boston has a lot to see. %I If 1 bjk i  . TdF ' E5fii IPEfw ' 1-X ♦ a . i ■; ; f . ■ . - The Best of Boston Boston is more than scenery like the reflection of the Trinity Church on the John Hancock Building (far left), the Statehouse, and Faneuil Hall (opposite page, bottom). Boston is events — Prince Charles coming for a visit (op- posite), bizarre entertainment at Faneuil Hall, (center), dancers at Park Street Station, (bottom), and a duck swimming in the pond at the Commons. Whatever the hour, there is always plenty to see and do in the Hub. • ■- ,« v . The Greater Boston community is a part of our campus. The Southwest Cor- ridor (left) will be used by us, and our new parking garage may be shared with the neighborhood in turn, (as many of our resources are). Looking at our campus, you also see the city, including its good and bad points. Not only did we have to adjust to being college students, we had to learn to accept the community around us — the one we ultimately became a part of. The construction here also illustrates the innovations Boston and NU have ex- perienced. Neither is static; instead each grows and faces new challenges with a spirit of anticipation. Quadulating: the new sport A hanks to the recent $ 1 50,000 invest- ment for the new quad at NU, there is a new pastime running rampid on campus. Quadulating can be seen taking place on any day that is reasonably sunny. Players dress in a variety of uniforms, consisting of multi-colored Jams, Vuarnet sunglasses, Reebok sneakers and mousse streaked hair. Players generally opt for strategic spots such as the steps of Richards Hall, Dodge Library, Ryder Mountain, (located in the middle of the quad), or the Ell Center. The location is very important in this game because maximum visibility is a key factor in competitive quadulating. Once the players have taken their places, the game begins to take shape. Scopeulating is the first step in becoming an effective quadulator. Players begin to scope out members of the opposite sex. Remember, sunglasses are a key here because you don ' t want the unsuspecting prey to know that you are eyeing them. Veteran scopeulators can usually operate quite effectively in the time alloted for passing between classes. Generally, prime time scopeulating takes place after 10:30 a.m. classs and before 1:35 p.m. classes. Now, after spending some time scopeulating, most contestants usually have a couple people in mind for scoopulating. Scoopulating is the final phase of quadulating, not to be confused with scopeulating. Scoopulating is when contestants put it all together for all the marbles. The offen- sive scoopulator approaches the quadulator, (anyone seen in the quad be- tween these hours is considered a quadulator), and in a roundabout manner makes inquiries as to their willingness to share a frappe, go to a movie, grab a slice or study together . . . Yeah, maybe. If contestants come up empty handed, they return to the scopeulating phase. Those players who score are acknowl- edged through the university ' s infamous grapevine. ■ — Jim Moran Student life Perhaps Buster McNadds, left, with his owner John T. Spencer, could tell us. Students at NU lead individual lives — for some the quad is the center of activity — others live through dif- ferent student activities. And others float through NU with nary a concern. Bottom, Michele DePascale and Barbara Kennedy sit on the stoop, below, two students enjoy a chat in the sun. What ' s going on? There are a variety of options A pproximately 3,800 of us came, saw, and attempted to conquer NU in September, 1982. We struggled through registration, lecture halls, parking (or the lack thereof), and wild dorms. But we survived. Here ' s a brief recap of that tumultuous introduction to the place that became our home for five years. 16 Freshman Year SL Freshman Year 17 Look to your left, Look to your right — One of you won ' t be here when you graduate, President Ryder told us at convocation (pictured below). He was right. Freshman year was NUFOS (how do I get to KV?), registra- tion with 1 billion computer cards (count me in!), parties, par- ties, and more parties (where was I last night?), and special events like Joe Perry (top right). In spite of the fun, we were here (or would remain here) for more reasons than partying. 18 Freshman Year What is the purpose of a college degree? Man ' s brain distinguishes him from all other animais, however superior they may be in size, strength or speed. In fact, no other animal has a brain that can even approach the power and ver- satility of the human brain. Whatever disabilities or limitations a man might have, he overcomes them by the utilization of intricate instruments and machines, products of some- one ' s intelligence. The brain enables man to cope successfully with his environment. However, the goal of man is not simply to live, but to live better. Hence, each person strives to develop his own mind to the extent of its natural capacity. For this reason, higher educa- tion exists. Colleges and universities aim to stimulate clearer thinking and help its members to proceed further on their own. The attaining of a college degree requires a combined process of both training and educa- tion in order to be beneficial. First, the in- dividual undergoes training in which he is taught basic skills. However, education is not something that can simply be injected by a hypodermic needle. A person must acquire it by his own effort. Merely knowing the answer is not good enough. Thinking is what ' s impor- tant. Even an animal can be trained, but only man can be educated. The most important function a university performs is to teach a per- son where, when, and how to use the skills he has learned. Once a person knows what to do with these skills, he will realize that his educa- tion has only just begun. Attending a university demonstrates to a per- son that the more he learns, the less he knows and, therefore, the more there is to learn. For ex- ample, if one were to grow up in a totally isolated community, by age 18 he might think that he knew all that one could possibly know. However, if a new idea were introduced to him, such as the existence of another community, his feeling of superiority would be lost. Examina- tion of this new community would reveal the limit of his realm of knowledge. Now, he would have to further educate himself in order to com- pete with others and develop to his greatest ex- tent. Another example is the development of the first simple rocket. The designers of the rocket fully realized its limitations, but in order to build a more improved model they had to learn more skills. In actuality, the educational process never ceases. One never stops learning until the day he dies. A college education introduces this ethic to the individual. It not only teaches him skills, but it teaches him what to do with the skills so that he can continue to improve on them. A university is not successful if it merely pours knowledge into a student. It is successful if it has transmitted knowledge that continues to grow. For this reason, both training and educa- tion are necessary. The purpose of a college degree is to learn how to live to the greatest ex- tent of one ' s natural capacity. This goal can be accomplished by continuing the learning process every single day. College is not merely the at- taining of a profession but the attaining of a philosophy of life. Learn to live, but then live to learn. ■ — Lisa Lantz Freshman Year 19 Reflections . . . ftr hen we started school Kevin White was mayor, Ed King was governor and no one had heard of Madonna. When your mom, dad, Aunt Dolores and your dog Sparks, drove you up from Pittsburgh, Huntington Avenue was not the street it is today. When we came to college, not only was it Ronald Reagan ' s first term in office, but it was also a time of happy hours, drink specials, and a drinking age of 20. College was getting into Sidelines (Sideswines) when you were 18 by showing a food card. It was having shaving cream fights with the boys ' ' from the third floor of Stet- son West Center, and the endless, poorly tim- ed false fire alarms in the dormitories at 3 a.m. And Salmonella. That first quarter we attended school, Kariotis was the Classroom building, Cullinane was the Botolph building, and the quad was asphalt, not imported Harvardian brick. And when you made your first com- mute to the Campus of the White Brick, you parked your car in what is now called the Snell Engineering Building. In the fall of 1982, there was no Sourhwesr Corridor, and there was no Burger King in the Ell Center. The game room was on the third floor right near the big t.v. where the best soap operas on campus have played since Marlena and Roman were married. ■ — Carol Beggy 20 Freshman Year — - — i BU«Q Freshman Year 21 ARCHIVES 1982-1983 BREZHNEV DIES GANDHI KILLED Leonid Brezhnev, 75, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, died of a heart attack November of 1982. He was a leader for 18 years. He led a fur- thering detente, especially with Richard Nixon. As his health worsened, Soviet policy took a radical turn including the invasion of Afghanistan. This led to a cooling off of relations between east and west, so that at his death tension was extremely high. India ' s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own guards as she walked through her gardens on Oct. 31, 1984. News of her death sparked bloody religious riots throughout the country, killing nearly 1000 persons in the week following her death. For 20 years she was the most predominent figure in her country. Her father, Jawaharlal Nehru had similarly dominated India, the 20 years prior. She was reportedly killed by militant Sikhs, who were calling for a separate state. Her son, Rajiv Gandhi, who assumed the role as Prime Minister upon her death, was shot at in October of 1986. However, he escaped without injury during a meeting to mark the 1 17th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi ' s birth. FALKLANDS RAID British paratroopers and marine commandos stormed ashore in the Falkland Islands May 21, 1982, to free her colonial territory from an Argen- tine invasion. In the face of British military superiority, the Argentine army surrendered 24 days later. The invasion peaked a war resulting from fruitless negotiations over the Falkland ' s sovereignty. Argentina supported a sovereign Falklands, while Great Britain wanted it to remain her colony. The Argentine seizure of the Falklands on April 2, 1982 propelled the British into im- mediate action. The British death toll reached 255 with 177 wounded; the Argentines lost 746 lives. An estimated $1.4 billion worth of British ships 2 and equipment was lost in combat, but Prime e Minister Margaret Thatcher ' s popularity soared. Above: Leonid Brezhnev. Upper Left: Indira Gandhi.

THE MIDEAST Many peace efforts have been made among Jews and Arabs, but none have ended the feuding. Over the past five years the Mideast has been in the news with reports such as the oc- cupation of the West Bank, Israel ' s desire to be recognized as a state by Arabs, Palestinians want of a separate state — while both rejected each other ' s dream. The ten-year civil war within Lebanon that has left over 100,000 dead has consistently made headlines. Moslems battling Christians and other Moslems; Christians feuding with Christians; Shiite Moslems attack- ing Palestinian refugee camps and so on. Also, the Iran-Iraq war is still going on after six years leaving one million dead. Both sides hit oil targets hard. Both being dependent on (declin- ing) oil revenues that certainly is a weak spot. Although Iraq is better equipped militarily, the Iranians under the Ayatollah Khomeini have the will to keep fighting as long as their oil reserves are plentiful. OIL CRISIS? Further inflaming the Mideast are the declin- ing oil prices. However, the oil plunge of the eighties has left many smiling at the gas pump. Recent prices are as low as the pre-oil crisis days of 1973. OPEC antics have caused oil consum- ing nations to seek alternative sources and have thus shaken up the former balance of exchange. ISRAELI RAID Israeli troops swarmed into Lebanon on the morning of June 6, 1982, in a bold move that destroyed the strength of the PLO in Beirut. While the Arab world reacted with angry denunciations, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin proclaimed the invasion a necessary retaliation against a terrorist group that endangered the lives of Israeli citizens.

We learned about the bureaucracy, red tape and LINES at NU — (not the ones you pick up through a straw). And we watched the campus and surrounding neighborhood begin to transform itself. Sophomore Year 27 Reflections JL hey say that one fourth of your life time is spent sleeping. Well, if you ' re a commuter one fourth of your time at NU is spent in parking lots. Parking lots. Five years of them. They have been changed around more times than the pathways in the quad. Each year, each time back from co-op; every quarter, the treasure hunt to find the student parking lots was harder than the test for Operarions Management. Students who have commuted for five years have spent so much time travelling they qualify for frequent flyer bonus rnps to Ber- muda. Say the average commuter travels 17 miles a day. Over a period of 1 1 quarrers at 60 class days a quarter — that ' s 1 1,220 miles. In order to receive a Northeastern diploma you have to travel across the United States twice. (Which might be shorter than the distance you have to travel to have a petit signed to take a class while on co-op.) This isn ' t even counting the lines you ' ve had to wait in. Lines are as much a part of NU as co-op and a winning basketball team. Remember registrarion? Going from the ballroom to some office to another office try- ing to get a computer card that might get you a possible space in a class. Things have gotten better, though, if you can decide nine months in advance what courses you would like to take. ■ — Carol Beggy 28 Sophomore Year Sophomore Year 29 Rebuilding on off campus construction Off to work the construction workers go: (opposite page top right) — Matthews Arena gets a facelift, (below), the new Ruggles Station; (bottom), Kariotis — during and after construction; (center), the green line renovation; (this page, top), Southwest corridor project; (below), the old M McDonald ' s on Huntington Ave. ° JL Sv 4 . ■;:■.

Twelve minutes later the big jet plunged into the sea of Japan, killing all 269 passengers and crew. Claiming that the plane intruded upon a critical part of their far east defenses, the Soviets also accused the aircraft of being on a spy mission. President Ronald Reagan charged the Soviets with trying to cover up the incident, which killed 61 Americans. Japan was also upset by the event, but apart from the initial criticism ot the Soviet Union, no other action was taken. The episode strengthened U.S. -Japanese military ties. Three years later the question still persists: Did it simply stray over the Soviet Union because of human error or was it there to spy? Recently published books, such as The Target is Destroyed by Seymour Hersh and Shoot- down by R. W. Johnson point in both direc- tions. Despite the recent run of books and renewed controversy, no one has conclusively proved why the aircraft was t here. bove: South Korean children demonstrated at the closing . ■USSR Murderers, USSR tell us the truth. of the European Security Conference, (signs say Satan, ' 1984 OLYMPICS The Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, was dominated by Eastern block countries, however, athletes brought some gold home to the U.S. Scott Hamilton skated his way to the gold and captured the hearts of millions. Bill Johnson stunned skiers by taking a gold in downhill skiing — a first for the U.S. in an Olympic skiing event. Brothers Phil and Steve Mahre won gold and silver medals, respectively, in the men ' s slalom. Figure skater Roslyn Sumners took a silver medal. Despite a Soviet boycott, the Summer Olym- pics held in Los Angeles produced a record pro- fit of SI 50 million with, as one observed, Hollywood at its corny best. Mary Lou Retton, a 16-year-old gymnast, quickly became familiar to all as she captured the gold. The men ' s gymnastics team, led by Bart Conner, won the title. Carl Lewis (in world record time), Edwin Moses, Evelyn Ashford and Joan Benoit ran for the gold. The U.S. also swept boxing, cycling, swimming (Greg Louganis), and basketball.

After 14 years in office, Boston Mayor Kevin H. White lost his title to Ray Flynn in 1984. A notable candidate in the Mayoral election was a black can- didate, Mel King, who formed the Rainbow coalition. Since Flynn has been in office he has become known as The People ' s Mayor. Dec. 27, 1985 — Gunmen attacked the El Al counters at Rome and Vienna airports; 20 people were killed, including five Americans. The White House accused Libya of aiding the PLO faction led by Abu Nidal, who was believed to have carried out the assault. Col. Muammar el-Gadhafi defended the attack as heroic. TERRORISM In mid-October 1983 an attack on the multi-national peace-keeping force in Beirut, Lebanon, left 240 Americans dead and many others wounded. The attack occurred while most of the troops were asleep in the compound ' s barracks. A lone suicidal truck driver from a fanatical Islamic group, crashed his vehicle filled with explosives into the compound. Public pressure for the withdrawal of these troops mounted, until they were removed a few months later. 1983-1985 During the past five years we have heard con- tinuous reports about Americans and others be- ing killed because of terrorism. World leaders find themselves in an impossible situation. If you don ' t know who the criminals are, or where and when they are going to strike, how can you resolve the problem? Whether it is true or not that Libya was behind the terrorist attacks, (some of which are listed below) we do not know. But in 1986, America struck back at what Administration of- ficials believed to be the accused. Dec. 12, 1983 — Another truck bomb rip- ped through the U.S. Embassy, this time in Kuwait, killing five and wounding 37. June 15, 1985 — A Trans World Airlines jet, with 104 Americans aboard, was hijacked in Athens, Greece. The two Lebanese Shiite gunmen took the plane to Beirut, then to Algeria and then back to Beirut. Most of the hostages were released within days, but the re- maining 39 hostages were held for 17 days. One American hostage was killed. Oct. 7, 1985 — Four Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro as it left Alexandria, Egypt. The terrorists killed Leon Klinghoffer, 69, an American from New York City, and then threw his body overboard. Upon release of the ship, the hijackers boarded a plane bound for PLO headquarters. The plane was intercepted by U.S. jets and forced to land in Italy where the hijackers went to trial. They were given prison terms of four to nine years, but Italian authorities released the two PLO of- ficials that were also apprehended. The U.S. charged Libyan support for the operation. U.S. INVADES GRENADA On the morning of Oct. 25, 1983, American troops, joined by several hundred soldiers from the Carribean Islands, invaded the tiny island of Grenada, a move that startled Americans and much of the world. The marines and army were sent in to pluck to safety hundreds of Americans from what President Ronald Reagan called a great peril on the island arising from communist activities. However, the U.S. forces met with an unexpected resistance that left 18 U.S. soldiers dead and 86 wounded after a few days of fighting. On the third day of the invasion, Reagan in- formed the American public of the situation and that U.S. troops located warehouses full of weapons and communications equipment which he said indicated Cuban plans of occupation. Secrecy surrounding the invasion was almost total. While Congressional leaders were in- formed on the eve of the invasion, they were not asked to approve the mission. Reporters, who were blocked from all news and were initially fed false reports, were not allowed on the island until the third day. Although Grenada has been a problem for 1 the U.S. for years, Reagan said the decision to .s invade was made after six small Carribean | democracies appealed for help, some of whom J aided in the invasion. The U.S. began winding down its military presence in early November since an interim government was in the works. 9 ' 5 Above: Members of the 82nd Airborne Dn i the direction of Grana Anse, Grenada 34 198310 1984 GRAMMYS ENTERTAINMENT Best Record: Every Breath You Take — The Police Best Album: Thriller — Michael Jackson Male Pop Vocalist: Let ' s Dance — David Bowie Female Pop Vocalist: Bella Donna — Stevie Nicks OSCARS Best Picture: Terms of Endearment Best Actor: Robert Duval], Tender Mercies Best Actress: Shirley MacLaine, Terms of Endearment Best Supporting Actor: Jack Nicholson, Terms of Endearment Best Film Score: Giorgio and Morroder, Flashdance Best Visual Effects: Return of the Jedi EMMYS Outstanding Comedy Series: Cheers — NBC Outstanding Drama Series: Hill Street Blues — NBC Outstanding Actor Drama: Ed Flanders, St. Elsewhere Outstanding Actress Drama: Tyne Daly, Cagney Lacey Cauldron File Photo Above: Terms of Endearment stars Jack Nicholson and Shirley McLaine.

MiddlerYear 41 I 1984-1985 REAGAN WINS A SECOND TERM Ronald Reagan was swept into the White J House fot a second tetm, aftet capturing every g state except Minnesota and Washington, DC. s in the 1984 election. The ' 84 race included two I history making candidates: Rev. Jesse Jackson 3 and Geraldine Ferraro. Although Walter Mon- i dale eventually received the Democrats ' en- = dorsement, Jackson ' s brilliant oratory ability a gained him much respect. 5 Only five of Reagan ' s original cabinet members were part of his Administration at the staft of his second term. Two noteworthy turn- overs came in 1982. Secretary of State Alex- ander Haig was replaced by George Shultz; and Secretary of Interior James Watt, who referred to his staff as consisting of A black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple also resigned, and was replaced by William Clark. In 1985 Donald Hodel took over Clark ' s position President Reagan ' s choice of Attorney General caused a stir in 1985. Edwin Meese was accused of unethical business dealing with men who were later given federal jobs. Meese was cleared of all charges and was later appointed. Another startling Administration change came in 1985, when Reagan announced that Donald Regan, Secretary of the Treasury department . and James Baker, Secretary of Staff, would be swapping positions. Conservative tone . . . President Ronald Reagan ' s elevation of Associate Justice William Rehnquist, who filled the seat of retiring Chief Justice Warren Burger, coupled with the choice of Antonin Scalia, will prolong a conservative trend in the Supreme Court tha t has been building for years. The appointments may alter the balance among Justices on abortion, affirmative action and the relationship between church and state. Many less conservative people protested Rehnquist ' s nomination because of his past decisions on civil rights cases, and his personal dealings with minorities. Scalia, the first Italian American named to the Supreme Court, and Rehnquist have similar views on abortion, women ' s and minorities ' rights and both favor curbing media rights and privileges. Taxes . - - Far-reaching changes in the country ' s tax system, featuring individual rate reduction, tightening of loopholes and increasing corporate taxes, went into effect this year. The September 1986 Senate vote supporting tax reform came nearly two years after President Reagan declared tax revision a major legislative goal. Many of the original opponents of tax reform supported the bill after several rewrites. Unfortunately, there is a price to pay for the substantial cuts on individual taxes: three- martini business lunches will soon be a luxury of the past.

LIVE AID bove: Tina Turne, at the Live Aid Concert m Philadelphia, PA ' s JFK Sladiu -July 13, 1985 A BBC-TV documentary told the story. Starving, emaciated figures appeared on televi- sions around the world, as the public learned about the approximately 1 1 million Ethiopians who were suffering as the result of war, drought and government corruption. Boomtown Rats leader Bob Geldof, in an ef- fort to aid the victims, rounded up prominent British artists such as Sting, Wham!, U2, Phil Collins and Culture Club to sing Do They Know It ' s Christmas: The collaboration, known as Band-Aid, raised $10 million. The success of Band-Aid led Geldof to con- sider the possibility of a worldwide telethon to raise money. Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia were picked as sites for the concert, which was broadcast live on July 13, 1985. Nicknamed the Eighties Woodstock, Live Aid grossed more than $40 million. Approx- imately 1.5 million people worldwide saw the j concert. Highlights included a reunion of the | surviving members of Led Zeppelin, a reunion | of Black Sabbath, The Who and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Over 60 pop rock stars per- formed, some of whom were: Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Chryssie Hynde, U2, Sting, Phil Col- lins, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Eric Clapton.

SOUTH AFRICA SANCTIONS The House and Senate overrode President Reagan ' s veto of economic sanctions against South Africa, which was a striking defeat of his Administration. The override came after Reagan tried unsuc- cessfully to persuade the white majority of South Africa to revoke its sanctions against black citizens. The sanctions banned new South African in- vestments and bank loans, as well as steel, iron, uranium, agricultural and military imports. The sugar quota the United States was going to give South Africa was transferred to the Philippines. President Reagan said he was against sanc- tions because he thought the economies of sur- rounding South African nations would suffer and that the sanctions would harm rather than help suppressed blacks. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy described the veto as a great victory for democracy in America and freedom in South Africa. The last override of a U.S. president on a ma- jor foreign policy issue occurred in 1973, when Congress imposed the War Powers Act during the Nixon Administration. AIDS HELP? An antiviral drug with the ability to stop the AIDS virus from reproducing was discovered, based on early reports from AIDS research. Results showed patients taking aziothymidine (AZT) fared dramatically better than those on a placebo. Among 137 patients taking a placebo and 145 taking AZT, only one member of the AZT group died during the same four month period. The study ended before scheduled when the drug ' s effectiveness became clear. Burroughs- Wellcome, creators of AZT, said the drug would be on the market by early 1987.

Rockers like The Doors, The Who, Roll- ing Stones and Led Zeppelin are getting plenty of air time as are Motown hits from The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson. Here in Boston, a leading station WZLX, classic hits 100.7 plays nothing but vintage rock and roll. And a local club, The Jukebox, features a lost 45s night once a week, draw- ing a capacity crowd. With the compact disc, these great songs can be heard without a scratch. When disco died in the late 1970s there was a void to fill. Almost every station on the dial (except WBCN in Boston and WAAF in Worcester) decided to fill air-time with top-40 hits, leaving listeners with a lot of variety. Eventually, the leader of the Boston top-40 market, WHTT followed 100.7 and switched their format to a B-side and classic hits station. For those who needed a fix of Madonna ' s Like a Virgin and Whitney Houston ' s Greatest Love of All, 94.5 WZOU and WXKS, better known as Kiss 108, was there. Judging from the popularity of the classics, Today ' s music ain ' t got the same soul and we still love that old time rockin ' roll. 44 1984 to 1985 MEN OF THE EIGHTIES . .

(Almost seniots!) We ' ve settled into the system, adjusted to our lifestyles, which include roommates — the paying and non- paying ones (who only come out after dark). And we had a variety of on- campus events to take advantage of — some to educate, some for fun. Lij GJ (S E Jl E ffl LU College Scenes (Below), who can forget the Cask, one of the hottest dives in town; (bottom left), commuting on the buses that arrived every 10 minutes; (opposite), zany pranks with friends — this pair entered the float com- petition at Homecoming; and (bottom center and top right), the in- visible roommate strikes again. the sixth roommate My four roommates and I thought it was over, finally. We thought he was gone for good. But somehow, some way, he ' s back. There ' s too many things that point to just that. The sixth roommate has returned. Without even meeting this conniving character, you already know him. He ' s the one that always trashes the living room, leaving nothing but empty beer bottles on the floor, pizza crusts on the coffee table and the t.v. blar- ing. It ' s the same scene every time. But by the time the wreckage is discovered, the sixth room- mate is always nowhere to be found. That ' s usual though. None of my roommates have ever seen him, but we all know he lives with us. He doesn ' t pay rent, or any of the bills. When it comes time to collect the phone bill, his calls get placed under miscellaneous for everyone to share. For a while, we thought he moved out for good. Our seven-room apartment was clean. The bills were getting paid on time. The refrigerator had more than just beer and milk in it, which was all that could be left in the fridge for a while. Anything and everything else just kinda vanished. But he ' s back again. We know it. It ' s so easy to see. Everyone knows the house policy on dishes: use ' em wash ' em — a painless solution to something that five reasonably sloppy college bachelors hate to do. But lately, we ' ve had trouble finding the sink and counter under the piles of pots and pans. A swarm of killer maggots hovering over some week-old Prego caked into a plate may be keep- ing us from washing them. But, all the room- mates know the policy. It ' s only the sixth room- mate who doesn ' t. Near the mounds of dishes is the fridge, that one-time safe hiding place of edibles. But something ' s been happening since he returned. Bagels have disappeared faster than they do at Jewish delis in Brooklyn. Eggs must be hatch- ing in the box or just disappearing. The list goes on and on, and all fingers are pointing in that direction again. It ' s got to be the dastardly sixth roommate. The sixth roommate has to be the one not taking phone messages, too. We always keep a pad and pencil right by the phone, so it couldn ' t be any of us. I ' ve been getting too many didn ' t you get my message? lately. Something has got to be done about this varmint. He ' s got to be the one that leaves all the empties around the living room, and the one that leaves the toilet running all night. All the lights left on, the thin coating of dirt that lines the bathtub, the slamming doors at 3 a.m., the cigarette butts on the coffee table, the broken Lowenbrau mirror, the bicycle in the hallway, the 7 a.m. phone calls — it ' s all his doing. They have to be. There ' s five of us, and him. And it can ' t be us. Too many boxes of macaroni and cheese have vanished, too many messages have been missed. It has to end. But this time, he might be here to stay. He probably won ' t budge for a long, long time. You can ' t really blame him, either. It ' s a nice apartment, clean some of the time, big all of the time. We better get used to his living habits and when anything goes wrong, we ' ll know who ' s to blame. While I ' ve never met him face-to-face, someting tells me we all know him much better than we all realize. ■ — Stephen Dnistrian Reflections J3y the time you spend a few weeks here you learn that the Northeastern University community is a microcosm of the real world. And you learn that, just like in the real world, people here — at the campus where you get an education that works — lie. Yes, lie. And not just little ones. BIG ONES. So after five years of hearing the little and big white ones, I have compiled a list of the 10 biggest lies atNU: 1.) Co-op will pay for your education 2.) I ' m a middler. (This is one used by every freshman to impress every fresh woman he can.) 3.) The university is located in scenic, historical, wonderful Back Bay. (It ' s Rox- bury, folks.) 4.) It ' s only a cold sore. 5.) I love you. 6.) I ' m a virgin. 7.) Northeastern is the largest private college in the country. 8.) The football team will break .500. 9.) There ' s plenty of parking. 10.) Don ' t worry — the petition you need in order to obtain senior clearance is all taken care of and will be processed within the week. ■ — Carol i Faces on Campus (Top left), Spenser For Hire filmed on campus; (bottom, far left), V-66 vee-jay Perry Stone visited Speare Hall; (bottom left).

Jarvis, an NU alumnus, was among rhe seven member crew that died Jan. 28, 1986, when the space shuttle Challenger burst into flames, minutes after its launching. Jarvis, 41, graduated in 1969 with a master ' s in electrical engineering. He carried a Northeastern University flag on board the shuttle, a souvenir which he planned to present to President Ken Ryder on campus in late February. On behalf of the University, Ryder expressed his deepest sense of loss for Jarvis and the other crew members. Among them was Christa McAuliffe, a New Hampshire school teacher, who was the first civilian ever selected by NASA to ride in the shuttle. The NU flag was found among the wreckage and will be exhibited on campus. MARCOS EJECTED People power was the chant and yellow flowers were the symbol in February of 1986 after Corazon Aquino and her followers brought 20 years of despotic rule, under Ferdinand Mar- cos, to a neatly bloodless end in the Philippines. Even the atmy turned against Marcos. The infamous Malacang Palace was turned into a virtual museum as Philippinos viewed the treasures of the Marcos family. Their fortune was estimated in the vacinity of $3 billion, while his annual income was $5700. Among the riches were the highly reported 3000 pairs of shoes belonging to Imelda Marcos. The euphoric sense of democracy soon gave way to ongoing internal problems, such as high unemployment and a deficit left by Marcos. Such problems fueled the pro-Marcos sup- porters in their demonstrations. In a nine-day visit to the U.S. in September of 1986, Aquino made a stop at Boston Univer- sity, where she received an honorary degree. In Washington, D.C., she made a speech before a joint session of Congress, in which she said; You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluc- tant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it themselves and need only the help to preserve it. Above: Greg Jarvis at Northeastern. Below. The Challenger crew: from front left; Pilot Michael J. Smith, Francis R. Scobee and Ronald McNair. From back left; Ellison S. Onizuka, Sharon Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis and Judith A. Resntk. Following Aquino ' s address, the House of Representatives immediately supported a $200 million increase in aid to the Philippines. The Senate was opposed, but later in the week reversed its decision. For the Philippines, who rely heavily on American aid, Aquino expressed sincere gratitude. THE U.S. STRIKES BACK AT TERRORISM The two-day skirmish caused by the Sixth Fleet crossing Col. Moammar Gadhafi ' s line of death was a prelude to President Ronald Reagan ' s retaliation against terrorism. On April 14, 1986, under the cover of darkness, fighter bombers and attack planes blasted military and intelligence targets in Libya. The raid damaged at least eight Soviet-built Libyan planes and Gadhafi ' s personal headquarters, killing 34 civilians, one of whom was Gadhafi ' s child. The question of Gadhafi ' s survival in the 11 Vi minute war was answered two days later. He appeared on T.V., calling Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher children murderers. Britain and Canada were the only allies that supported the attack. France and Spain were vehemently opposed and refused permission for U.S. fighter planes to fly over their territory. Their noncooperation forced bombers to add many extra miles and hours on to their trip. However, the raid was considered a success, except for one aircraft that went out of control. Its bombs were dropped on a residential area and also damaged the French Embassy and the Swiss Ambassador ' s residence. The aircraft was lost at sea. The two crewmen are assumed to be dead. While the American public and administra- tion officials predominately favored the move AP Phoius The U.S. — drought to flooding: Above: livestock.

The Soviets postponed the scheduled summit- planning session between Secretary of State George Shultz and Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. Congressional leaders were called for con- sultation only three hours before the proposed attack and there was a White House news black-out. On Aug. 25, 1986 the Washington Post reported that the White House, approved by Reagan, endorsed the spreading of disinfor- mation, intended to scare and destabilize the Gadhafi government. Officials said the infor- mation was intended for foreign journalists, but that inaccurate information was knowingly given to Americn journalists as welL While Reagan challenged the veracity of the Post ' s report, Shultz defended and even justified the exaggerated leaks, or as the Post referred to them, planted stories. Within a week after the raid on Libya, vengeance was being taken. In Lebanon, three hostages were killed, one American and two Britons. In Khartoum an officer in the U.S. Em- bassy was shot, which led to the U.S. ordered evacuation of embassy employees and their families. In London ' s Heathrow Airport, a bomb was confiscated from a pregnant Irishwoman at the El Al terminal. Administra- tion officials warned it was open season on those who travel abroad. Americans began canceling international trips and some even avoided domestic flights. AFTERMATH . . . April 2, 1986 — A bomb exploded on TWA flight 840 killing four of the 115 passengers en route from Rome to Athens. The four passengers were sucked out of a nine-foot by four-foot hole in the fuselage near the right wing moments after the bomb exploded. On the day of the bombing, an anonymous caller phoned a Western news agency in Beirut and said that the bomb was planted by the Iz- zadin Qassam, a small group linked to Palesti- nian terrorist Abu Nidal. The caller claimed the bomb was in retaliation to a recent American- Libyan skirmish held off the Gulf of Sidra. April 5, 1986 — A bomb exploded in a West Berlin disco, La Belle, which was fre- quented by U.S. servicemen, killing one American and a Turkish woman. The U.S. claimed Libya was responsible and cited messages intercepted en route to the Libyan People ' s Bureau in East Berlin praising the results. CHERNOBYL FIRE A nuclear catastrophe in the Soviet Union caught the world ' s attention on April 25, 1986 when a fire and explosion occurred at the Cher- nobyl nuclear power plant. The explosion blew the top off reactot number four and sent a radioactive plume across large parts of the Soviet Union and much of Eastern and Western Europe. In the United States, early reports stated from anywhere from two to 2,000 people were killed from the blast and thousands were evacuated from the area. The Soviets claimed there were only two deaths and 197 hospitalized for tteatments. A week after the explosion, Soviet officials cited human error as the cause of the accident and reported that the 4,000°F fire in the graphite core was out. The Soviets were criticized by European countries and the U.S. for haphazard and late reporting of the accident. The disaster caused a major blow to the Soviet economy and Mikhail Gorbachev ' s plan to modernize it. Radioactive particles covered the land surrounding Chernobyl, which will probably remain severely contaminated for decades unless the topsoil is removed. People living within 60 miles of the site will see a significant increase in the rates of leukemia and cancer within the next 30 years. .

CONTRA AID The highly disputed bill for refueling the contras with more money, arms and training was passed in the Senate, marking a hard-fought victory for Presi- dent Ronald Reagan. The increased aid package, passed in mid August 1986, was set for $100 million. The republican dominated Senate was determined to fund the contras in Reagan ' s four-year secret war in Nicaragua, which is aimed at overthrowing the communist Sandinista government. The democratic House feared the relatively few, poorly organized and under-armed rebels, or freedom fighters as Reagan called them, would eventually pull American forces into the fight. However, both agreed that the S100 million wouldn ' t buy a victory and that much more money would be needed. While Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega strengthened his forces with Soviet and Cuban assistance, rumors of the 10,000 or so conttas being involved in cotruption, drug smuggling and human rights abuses filled the ait in America and Honduras. On the Nicataguan border, Hondurans have not only housed the contras but have been victims of a teported Nicaraguan invasion against the rebels and marauding by the conttas. The contras promised to s behave themselves in expectation of the incteased aid. S. The House amendments to the bill promised $300 = million to Nicaragua ' s four democratic neighbors, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica. Each ate said to be strongly against Ortega and his Marxist Regime. A virtual declaration of wat by the United States, said Ortega, after hearing about the aid package.

During this last year we look back and decide whether our career at NU was worthwhile. And we think of all we ' ve been through, the good and the bad, that marked our five years. ss E a e Reflections JL know five years is only 365 days longer than four years, but it seems more like a lifetime. If you think five years isn ' t a long time then why is it that when you work for a company for five years you receive benefits, tons of vacation and maybe even a watch. Heck, only 40 per- cent of marriages last five years. Whether you came to NU for co-op or because the campus is in Boston, ( No, not Northwestern. Northeastern — in Boston. ) your college diploma is soon to be an accomplishment, not just a dream, and you will have to decide if the 236 books you paid an arm and a leg for, and the 845 individual classes you attended, helped you in any way.

Following the deaths of Bias and Rodgers, the NCAA mandated drug-testing for college athletes. Crack, a concentrated form of cocaine which is absorbed rapidly into the lungs and ef- fects the brain within seconds of being smoked, turned the nation ' s concerns about drugs into fears. President Reagan declared a crusade against drugs on national television, marking the first time a President exclusively covered drug abuse. Reagan ' s Administration also doubled the drug enforcement budget from $853 million in 1982 to 1.5 billion in 1986, while drug prevention and treatment programs were slashed from $200 million to $126 million. CRACK DOWN Police reports and data compiled by state chemists shows that cocaine is the drug of choice in Massachusetts, passing marijuana in terms of popularity for the first time. The increase in cocaine seizures is directly linked to a dwindling supply of marijuana in the area, according to law enforcement officials. The drop in supply also has caused the price to more than double in a two year period, while the price of cocaine has remained the same for several years. Law enforcement officials claim the tightened market is due to successful interceptions of large shipments and the incarceration of some of the region ' s largest marijuana importers. The National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) released a report stating that American high school students abuse drugs more than students in other industrialized countries. Alcohol and tobacco, more damaging to the body than cocaine and heroin, still remain the two most popular substances. The report also discovered that 80 percent of Americans try an illicit drug before their mid-20s, and 30 percent of college students use cocaine at least once. And drug testing in the work force is becom- ing more commonplace. In fact, President Reagan proposed mandatory drug testing for federal employees in sensitive jobs, including air traffic controlling, which started a controver- sy over the validity of drug tests and whether testing is an invasion of privacy and an infringe- ment of individual rights.

DANILOFF FREE American journalist Nicholas Daniloff ac- cused of being a CIA spy by the Soviet Union, returned to the United States after a month ' s detention in Moscow. As Daniloff s plane touched U.S. soil, Soviet physicist and U.N. employee Gennady Zakharov was heading back to Moscow after being expelled from the U.S. for spying. On the same day as the political exchange, President Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to meet in Reykjavik, Iceland to discuss an agenda and set specific dates for an upcoming Summit in the United States. Reagan saw the pre-Summit meeting as an opportunity to express America ' s concern with Afghanistan, human rights and Soviet es- pionage. Gorbachev ' s top priority was to reach an agreement with Reagan to slow down Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) research. However, the meeting reportedly ac- complished nothing as Reagan was firm on go- ing ahead with S.D.I. PARIS TERROR In September of 1986, France fell victim to a rash of terrorist attacks. Within a 10 day period, 10 people were killed in five separate bombings in Paris, while 162 were wounded. A group that demanded the release from a French prison of a suspected terrorist leader, claimed responsibility. A senior French official cited evidence linking Syria with the group, but there was much question over who actually conducted the bombings. Later reports indicated Algerian ties. The French, who were unwilling to negotiate a release of the prisoner, feared con- tinued attacks. As a result, French citizens avoided the once populated public places and tourists fled while others cancelled plans to visit. DISNEY ' S PARTY In October of 1986 Americans celebrated Walt Disney World ' s 15th anniversary and the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. The list of notables in Disney World ranged from former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, who was chair- man of the Bicentennial Commission, to Dolly Parton. Disney promotors unveiled the greatest surprise; the journalist Nicholas S. Daniloff, just back from Moscow. One of the journalists asked Mr. Burger if he had any reservations about the bicentennial being linked with the Disney an- niversary, Mr. Burger said no, and added, this is obviously a patriotic and history minded enterprise down here. if 93 RETIRES Thomas P.

BOSTON ' S BEST We have a winning town. With the Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox in 1986, Boston fans just couldn ' t lose. The Green Machine beat the Houston Rockets, becoming NBA champions for the 16th time. Larry Bird and teammates Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Scott Wed- man, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and newcomer Bill Walton could go down in history as the best all around team to hit the parquet floor. Soxcess! In 1986, the Red Sox (that ' s right the Red Sox) made it to the World Series against the New York Mets. Roger Clemens with over 20 wins in the season and a record-breaking 20 strike outs against the Seattle Mariners; along with the emo- tional Dennis Oil Can Boyd and Bruce Hurst they gave the team what it needed: quality pitching. And with Wade Boggs, Jim Rice and Marty Barrett behind the plate, all the American League East division saw in 1986 was . . . Red. The Patriots squished the fish in Miami, but unfortunately could not defrost the Fridge . The Patriots, underdogs throughout the 1986 season, made it to Miami to beat the Dolphin ' s, becoming AFC champs. To many people ' s surprise, quarterback Tony Eason matured as a player, much due to Steve Grogan ' s guidance. The Bruins? Well they spent the most part of 1986 making management and organizational changes — but hey, three out four isn ' t too bad!

The men ' s basketball team, led by Reggie Lewis, went to the NCAAs every year that we ' ve been here. This year, under new coach Karl Fogel, they are ranked 23rd by Sports Il- lustrated, and who knows, maybe they will go all the way and win the NCAAs. The men ' s hockey team won back -to-back, Beanpots, ( ' 84 and ' 85) beating BU in the final game both years. Meanwhile the women have more than held their own, winning every Bean- pot since 1984. The men ' s cross country team continues its winning ways, consistently placing in the top 10 in New England, while the women start to build its new team. A varsity soccer team re-emerged after 52 years. Although they ' re not off to a memorable start, they ' ve encountered a few problems on the road to success. The women ' s volleyball team won the Divi- sion 2 ECAC title in 1984 behind Monique Ellis. Under a new head coach in 1985, the Huskies kept the tradition going by successfully defending their Division 2 ECAC crown. In 1986 the team moved up into Division 1. The men ' s crew team is on an upswing despite a declining number of rowers while their female counterparts keep hoping for a boathouse of their own. Everett Baker ' s men ' s outdoor track team can do no wrong, it seems, as they were Greater Boston Champions three straight years and New England team champs for four. The baseball team underwent a noisy coaching change, but managed to overcome the situation to go 25-14 for new coach Neil McPhee. That was good enough to earn them a berth in the ECACs. As for our well-intentioned football team, they did have a winning season, . . . yes, it ' s true. For those of you who don ' t remember, or don ' t believe, whichever the case may be, it was in 1983 when they went 6-4-1. ■ — Lisa M.

Sports A Look Back 71 A Change in Offense There is only one word to describe North- eastern ' s football team over these past five years: frustrating. Particularly this past season. The one word that describes our season perfectly is frustrating, ' ' head coach Paul Pawlak lamented. We were very close to win- ning several games that we lost, and with proper execution at certain points, or maybe a little luck, we would have pulled them out. The fans and students are naturally disappoinred with the poor record, but no one is more frustrated or disappointed than us coaches and the players themselves. The only shining season came during the 1983 campaign when the Huskies went 6-4-1. Other than that, the Huskies and their fans have suffered through losing seasons. In hopes of bringing happier endings to future seasons, Pawlak instituted the run- oriented wishbone offense for the 1985 season. However, the results were the same. A 2-8 record for 1985 and another losing record in 1986. Pawlak says that in 1987 he may gear the Husky offense towards the pass as quarterback Jim O ' Leary enters his third year. However, Pawlak says that the possible change is not an indication that the wishbone doesn ' t work, despite what the critics may say. Senior fullback George Olson, who has seen two completely different offenses in his four years as a Husky, feels that the wishbone is the right offense for NU. With all of the talented running backs that we have here, it makes sense to get as many of them into the game as possible, Olson said. John Butcofski, a senior linebacker, has been a force on defense, despite playing in the shadows of one of Northeastern ' s greatest linebackers, Shawn O ' Malley. During the 1985 season Butco registered 112 tackles to place second behind O ' Malley. This past season proved to be an even better one for Butcofski as he emerged from the shadows to dictate the flow of the defense. Despite the past seasons, Pawlak contends that his team has never given up, with last § season being no exception. g This team never gave up, he said. The g team was always classy about everything, even when we lost a tough game. The guys put out 5 every time they played, and I don ' t think that = there is too much more that you can ask for, I besides a winning season. ■ — R. Paul 3 Racette I s..

With the exception of the names and faces, not much has changed with coach Everett Baker ' s team. They are consistently ranked as one of the top teams in New England. During the 1985 season the team was ranked 10th in the country in Division I-AA. As a result of placing fourth in the IC4As, NU was one of two teams from the competition to reach the NCAAs where they placed 10th out of a field of 22. In 1984, the team placed second in the New England ' s held at Franklin Park. One highlight of the meet was Chris Gorman ' s ( ' 87) second place finish. From there the team moved on to the IC4As finishing eighth in a field of 42. Gor- man placed a respectable 26th in the meet. In 1983, the team placed second in both the Greater Boston Championships and the New England ' s. In the IC4As the Huskies finished one point ahead of Harvard, but lost to Dart- mouth. The 1983 season was a great one for Gorman. He was named to both the All-New England and the A11-IC4A squads. His eighth place finish in the IC4As also earned him a spot on the All-East team. In 1982 the Huskies placed second in the NEs, losing to the second best team in the coun- try, Providence. Northeastern ' s past records belie the fact that experts have not given the Huskies much of a chance for winning seasons. Coach Baker believes he and the New York Yankees have something in common when it comes to cynicism from the critics. The so-called experts didn ' t rank us very high this season, commented Baker. I think that they were hoping we would take a tumble, and not perform up to our abilities. We ' re kind of like the New York Yankees, everybody roots against us, because they ' re tired of seeing us win. ■ — R.

Mens Cross Country 79 Harriers on the rise The women ' s cross country team was only established in 1981. According to coach Tom Wittenhagen, the team did a reasonably good job in 1982 considering its youth. The New England ' s is something that the Huskies shoot for each year, We aim for it athletically and psychologically when training, said Wittenhagen. In 1983 the Huskies came in 13th out or 38. But in 1984 Wittenhagen believes the team grew up. It showed as they placed fourth in the NEs. There were several runners who turned in some solid individual performances. Mary Kate Kennedy placed eighth in the 5000 meters, which was higher than her 1983 finish of 29th. Mary Ellen Ernst came in 26th in the meet. Except for a couple of injuries, the 1985 season was a good solid year as NU finished 10th in the NEs. Kennedy missed the season with an iniury, but Donna Petrsonch filled the void and finished 14th in the 5000 meters in the NEs. While individual runners showed improve- ment the team as a whole slipped a few notch- es. Overall, NU placed 14th at the 1986 NEs. Injuries played a great part in our poor showing in the New England Championships. Two of our top five runners were our tor that meet, Mary Kate Kennedy and Ruth O ' Hara, were injured, said Wittenhagen. The 1986 season wasn ' t particularly memorable as the Huskies lost all of their c meets. However, all was not lost as they placed fifth in the Greater Boston Invitanonals. Petr- sonch, and Elise Papetti placed 94th and 127th respectively, in the ECAC meets. In reflection of the 1986 season, Wit- tenhagen said, They compete against the best in New England, so it ' s not really fair ro say they lost. Our biggest problem is lack of depth. There are usually 10 or so runners, so if there are i n| uries we ' ve got no back-ups. We ' re trying to gather depth. In the ' 87 season we ' ll have about three as good a runners as there are in New England, Donna Petrsonch, Elise Papetti and Ruth O ' Hara . . . if thcy ' te healrhy, said Wit- tenhagen. ■ — Kathleen Fazio 1 V M i  0 3 Women ' s Crass Country Center, top: Kara Rosendflle, Sue Madden and Amy Krushu below: there are at least eight NU harriers in this pictun Brenda Gosselin, running smoothly.

Three years ago this wasn ' t the case — but as players like co-captains Karen Davidson and Karen DiMeglio have matured, so has the team under the guidance of Broderick and her assis- tant, Cheryl Murtagh. The 1986 season had its ups and downs, but because it ' s a young team consisting of 10 freshmen, the future looks extremely bright. Despite its youth, the stickers did pull off a 9-8- 1 season. After coming off such a spectacular ' 85 season it was tough with such a young team. But at one point during the season we were ranked ninth in the nation and that ' s really something to be proud of, she continued. During that spectaculat ' 85 season, the team was 14-3-4 and clinched its first ECAC ti- tle, led by class of ' 87 members Eileen Brennan and Tracy Marshall. The 1986 season did have its own highlights: Davidson, class of ' 88, broke the all-time scor- ing record (55 goals) and scored 15 goals this season for a total of 72 points in her four-year career with the red and black. DiMeglio, the other fourth-yeat playet on the squad, was a strong conttibuting player, accor- ding to Broderick. Despite injuries she suffered over the seasons, DiMeglio stuck with the sport and will graduate this year with a degree in elec- trical engineering. Captains of the 1985 team, Brennan and Marshall, who will also graduate this year, left their marks in the record books before retiring their sticks. Brennan holds the all-time assist record with 24; 1 1 in her last season to tie for most assists in a season. She was also named to the All-Boston Four team last year. Marshall, named All-New England in 1985, also was an All-Boston Four, s Broderick is proud of all of her student 1 s ath letes, as well as the team ' s accomplishments, s My main goal is to continue as a winning i2 team. I really want to see us make it to the « NCAAs and become an established top 10 J= team, she said. ■ — Deb Nyberg  Opposite page, top: a clean drive down the field; bottom: Kathy Hunt ( 5) plays keep away with her opponent; this page, top: Hunt and Eileen Pailes (in back) are ready to protect the goal; opposite: chang- ing fields and driving the ball to i Field Hockey 85 Field Hockey 87 An uphill battle Once upon a time there was a varsity soccer team at NU. However, in 1931 the team was demoted to intramural status until it was rescued by head coach Winston Smith. The three-year record of 9-42-2 isn ' t a valid indica- tion of what the team has tackled in its first three years. Smith, a 1984 Northeastern graduate, had to battle many obstacles in order to get the team off the ground. He realized, along with the team members, that without proper financing and facilities, it wasn ' t going to be an easy battle. The results don ' t give a clear picture of what has happened since the renewal of the men ' s soccer program. Because intramural soccer has produced the largest turnout of all intramural sports, it seemed safe to assume the interest was there. I knew the interest was there, said Smith. But in order to compete against the top ranked Division 1 schools on our schedule, we needed the ability to recruit. Enter obstacle number one. The team plays against 11 of the top 14 teams in New England, yet are unable to recruit top players in New England. We ' ve competed against Boston University (a 7-1 loss), who were sixth in the country, Boston College (a 4-0 loss), and have beaten the University of Vermont (1-0), which is fifth in New England, said Smith. But we ' ll nevet be on their level until we can attract the players that they do. Injuries have also plagued the team: co- captains Pat Cavanaugh and Andrew Dias both underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. Enter obstacle number two. The team has suffered the majority of its in- juries on Parsons Field because of the Astroturf. The surface is not conducive to soccer, and as a result, many ankle and knee injuries have resulted. The Dedham facility is not regulation size, leaving the team with no alternatives. All things considered, Smith seemed surpris- ingly optimistic at the end of the ' 86 season. I love the team, said the part-time coach. But I haven ' t enjoyed the time off the field. One could barely hear the softness of Smith ' s voice when he announced to his team at its final game that he was not returning next season. Let ' s hope that the team will enjoy future success. ■ — D.

V ??£ -T ?-7 ? - x ' j 55 ! BB i Volleyball Shooting for 1 Northeastern ' s women ' s volleyball team has undergone a number of significant changes in past years and all have spelled success. Mark Massey took the helm at the start of the 1985 season, having previously served as assis- tant coach under Peggy Day. In his debut Massey and newly-named assistant coach Shirley Lynch were faced with the overwhelming task of improving upon one of Northeastern volley- ball ' s most successful seasons. 1984 brought the lady Huskies a 35-7 record and the Division 2 ECACs for the first time. The go als that Massey set in 1985 were to win the ECACs and go to the national tourna- ment. In compiling a 26-6 record behind cap- tains Monique Ellis and Maria DiClemente, the lady Huskies won the Division 2 ECACs for the second straight year. Though the bid for na- tionals did not materialize, the ladies took a seat among the top 20 teams in the nation, and set a record 16-game winning streak. It was an easy transition for me having been assistant coach and familiar with the team, said Massey on his move to the helm. But it was a difficult act to follow. Entering the 1986 season Massey, Lynch and the Huskies faced yet more challenges: the loss of four key starters, among them Monique Ellis — the best attacker in New England, and a move up to Division 1 . On November 18th, at the close of their first season in Division 1, the lady Huskies, with a record of 19-13, met that goal. This team is made up of 12 people who have wotked hard to form a new team and a new personality. After the loss of players like Monique we acquired a number of freshmen, said Massey. The Huskies closed their 1986 season exactly where they wanted: as one of the top four teams in New England and one of the top independent teams in the nation. Behind sophomore captain Jill Long the Huskies hope next year to be the top independent team. Jill is a kind of glue for this team that pulls it all together, said Massey. But we are receiv- ing a steady contribution from everybody on a regular basis. ■ — Michelle DeBlasi M ■■-.;. a jg Opposite page, top: setting the ball; below, Huskies to stand ready to defend their court; this page, top: ready g to spike; opposite: Husky spiker fires the ball over the £ net; above: backcourt teamwork.

Thanks to a number of young experienced rowers, he feels his men ' s crew team has a great future. The program is on an upward swing, said Congram. There is a positive feeling among the guys, and this year we ' ll lose fewer rowers to graduation. The three rowers who won ' t be returning after the ' 87 season are Steve Potter, Craig Raz- za and Jim Riordan. These fourth-year rowers have dedicated themselves to a sport which has basically become a way of life. Potter is praised by Congram for his rowing versatility. Steve has been a varsity oarsman for three years, said Congram. He has rowed almost every seat in the boat and has aspirations of making the USA national team. Razza and Riordan have also dedicated a great deal of time and energy to the team in the past four years. Craig is fairly small, but for his size he has really been a competitive oarsman, said Congram of Razza ' s performance in the second and third varsity boats. Jim is a strong guy who works hard; he real- ly pushes himself, added Congram of Rior- dan ' s efforts in the third varsity boat. Congram feels that those varsit y rowers who have stuck it out have been rewarded for their patience. Among this list are last year ' s captain, Chuck Czworkowski, Derek Daly, Lyle Hamerla, Kevin Hogan, Scott Quiana, Charlie Ryan, Rich Sampson, Mike Turner and Tom White. Frank Quarto, who now assists freshman coach Gary Caldwell, had completed his fourth year of rowing with last year ' s team. Congram plans to turn 1986 ' s losses into vic- tories in 1987. Last year we were competitive but other crews outpowered us in the last 500 yards, said Congram. We ' d like to be able to improve on that this year. Captain Boucher added a touch of maturity to the ' 87 squad. The 25-year-old junior rower from Manchester, N.H., is valued for his leader- ship ability. Given the makeup of the squad and the personality of the guys, John was the perfect candidate, said Congram. He takes charge and is able to relate to the entire squad. ■ — D.

Spring 1986; botto: varsity competing at the Head Men ' s Outdoor Track Encore, Please What can men ' s outdoor track coach Everett Baker do for an encore? Since 1983 his team has compiled a 15-1 dual meet record, three con- secutive Greater Boston Championships ( ' 84, ' 85, ' 86), and four consecutive New England team championships: ' 83, ' 84, ' 85, ' 86. Their formula for success: take some depth and mix it with a few superstars. We ' ll have 35-40 people participating, while other schools have 15, Baker said. An awful lot of individuals get 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths — that adds up to a championship team, he continued. Mr. Northeastern Track, a.k.a. Lonnie Hooker, has been an impact performer, Baker said. There will never be another dashman as dominant. With his time of 20.86 in the 220 meters (last season) he just missed the NCAAs, and he ' s also been a mainstay of the 4x100 meter relay. (With John Ndukwu, Billy Mc- Coy, and Arthur Allen, the relay team won the IC4A Championships in 1986.) Hooker also won the 100 and 200 meters two straight years at the New Englands. Hurdler Geoff Calderone, the fastest hurdler going to school in New England, ac- cording to Baker, set a meet record in the 110 meter hurdles at the New Englands, and 400 meter hurdler Paul Quitzau, who re-wrote the record books, won his event at the GBCs and New Englands in 1984 and 1985. He also joined the 1600 meter relay with Roy Higgins, Nick Josie, and Billy McCoy in 1984 that won the New Englands; the following year Quitzau, Nixon Frederick, McCoy, and Josie repeated their performance. Besides his part in victorious relay teams, McCoy is a specialist in the quarter mile, an event he has dominated in the GBCs. Cross-town rival BU follows the Huskies closely. Baker called many of their victories thrillers, like Tim Gannon ' s second place in the 5,000 meters last season that propelled the Huskies four points past BU at the GBCs. With a firmly established tradition of suc- cess, Baker expects no less from his runners, jumpers, hurdlers, and weightmen. Everybody is dedicated and doing their part, he said. ■ — Paula Ficarra 100 Men ' s Outdoor Track Mens Outdoor Track 101 This page: double trouble tor oppoi Gary Montciro (left) and Geoff Caldi center: Tim Gannon moves on the leader; below: 1986 captain Richie Palma attempts to clear the bar; opposite page: Paul Quitzau, coming home first; top right: Mark Dawson throwing the disc hands off to Billy McCoy 102 Mens Outdoor Track Men ' s Outdoor Track 103 Women ' s Outdoor Track Things can only get better The past five years for the women ' s outdoor track team has featured two unbroken records set by team members and many more in- dividual victories. In 1982, Northeastern placed eighth in the New Englands, Sandy Burke was the Husky star that season as she placed second in the ECACs in the shot-put and was named national champion in that event with a record toss of 52 ' 6 . That record, says coach Tom Wit- tenhagen, still remains. She was by far the best athlete in the history of Northeastern, he said. The highlight of the 1983 season was Mary Kate Kennedy ' s first place win in the half-mile with a time of 2: 13.3 at the N.E.s, while Kelly Toole placed first in the 100 meter hurdles dur- ing the 1984 N.E.s. The best meet in the history of NU ' s women ' s outdoor track was at the 1985 New Englands when we placed third, said Wit- tenhagen. Toole again placed fourth in the N.E.s, which made her a six-time New England champion. Cheryl Vedder placed second in the 400 meters during that same meet, and Michelle Millane captured first place in the discus with a toss of 15 5 ' 10 . That record also still stands. Although the team dropped to sixth in the NEs in 1986, Wittenhagen believes that things can only get better. Now we ' ve reached our apex . . . only a few points from the New England Champions. We had a fine crop of runners in 1986, but there were numerous injuries. It was a young team with the graduation of Kelly Toole and others. However, with one year under their belt, we ex- pect big things to occur this year ( ' 87), said Wittenhagen. ■ — Kathleen Fazio This page: Tnaa Cullinane hands off to Debbie Pina; opposite page, center: 1987 captain Cheryl Vedder leading the way; far right, top and bottom: shot-putter Sherne Harris in eood form. 104 Women ' s Outdoor Track Women ' s Outdoor Track 105 106 Women ' s Outdoor Track ?■ Opposite page, top left: Yvette Hall breaking away; top I right: record-setter Donna Petrsorich ready to make a Women ' s Outdoor Track 1 07 Baseball Movie Material? From 1982 through the 1985 season Charlie O ' Malley coached Northeastern ' s baseball team. During that time several NU records were broken, but, other than that, the Huskies had a combined record of 58-73-1 during O ' Malley ' s tenure. Things changed in 1985-1986. O ' Malley had publicly criticized Athletic Director Irwin Cohen ' s handling of the team ' s budget in 1985. Harsh words were exchanged. The team had a losing record during O ' Malley ' s four years. Cohen decided to give the program a new direc- tion; he didn ' t re-hire O ' Malley after his con- tract ran out. Enter Neil McPhee, a former two-sport (baseball and hockey) star at NU. McPhee knew he was stepping into a tense situation because O ' Malley was well-liked by his players. So, in- stead of forcing himself on his players, he decid- ed to play it cool. In retrospect, I ' m glad I wasn ' t involved in the controversy, McPhee said. I came in with my eyes closed, not knowing what to expect. My players understood that. They treated me rather well. They gave me a great season, he continued. Indeed. The Huskies went 25-14 and fin- ished second in the ECAC-North Conference behind the University of Maine. McPhee was named the league ' s coach of the year. Even though the Huskies bowed to Maine in the playoffs, they had beaten the Black Bears twice. That was no fluke, McPhee said. We played Maine tough all season and Brian (Baldwin, who pitched both games) was especially tough on them. We beat a good team convincingly (in the playoff). It felt good to be the better team that day. The team got a lot of help from senior cap- tain Paul DiPillo. He was a natural captain, McPhee said. He was a tremendous leader. When the team needed a lift he was always there. We ' ll really miss his leadership this year ( 1987). 1 McPhee had superlatives for everyone on the f team. When asked to sum up the entire team, 5 in one word, he said — character. g Character is something they had a lot of. o With all the things which happened before the | year and seeing the way they played, you 3 couldn ' t help but see character in that. 1 It was incredible. They came back so many ,3 times from so many things. They make movies ' about stuff like this. ■ — Jim Mosber ORTHEASTERN UNIV. tWMM ikii IH f ftp Opposite page, top: Dan Spotts at bat; below: outfielder John Griffin makes a catch; this page, top: team photo front row (1-r): Rob Prager, Jim Mulry, Bill Morgan, Tony Carter, Brian Baldwin, Paul DiPillo (captain), Chuck Allard, Eddie Field, Wayne Murphy, Juan Craft, Billy Murphy; back row (1-r): John Griffin, Bob Bormeester, Scott Boyle, Mike Clifford, Dan DeVito, Rick Deraney, Mike Leavitt, Jim Walker, Dave Weiner, Dan Spotts, Joe KiUelea, Steve Curtin, Gary Nelson, Jim Connolly, Jim Mealey, Coach Neil McPhee; above: sophomore pitcher Michael Leavitt.

Lacrosse Future success Lacrosse looks this spring, with hope and an- ticipation, toward breaking the .500 mark. Having moved into the Division 1 slot just five years ago, the competition has changed drastically. Although the program began in the 60 ' s, head coach Joan Broderick ' s team has real- ly hustled, playing some of the nation ' s toughest. In her third year, Broderick, who also coaches field hockey, sees her young team heading towards a successful future. We were way over our heads as far as our schedule was concerned, said Broderick. But we ' ve adjusted to it with more realistic competi- tion and now we ' re getting our feet back on the ground and the program, I feel, is really going to start going places. The 1987 team, to be led by fourth year players Liz Gaudet and Katie McPartlan, is fac- ing a reduced schedule that they hope will bring them past their 4-12 record of last season. McPartlan, from Worcester, MA, is grad- uating with the class of ' 87. Broderick, who plays McPartlan at the attack position is looking for a big scoring year from the much improved player. Gaudet, class of ' 88, who is a co-captain with McPartlan, is from Lexington, MA, and one of the Huskies ' most consistent defensive players, according to Broderick. Also graduating this year is Patty McCarty, who captained the 1986 team. McCarty, a New Jersey native, was the team ' s goalie and a very skilled player who will be missed by this year ' s defensive squad. A big part of the team ' s hard work and im- provement, beyond the athletes, is the assistant coach, Cheryl Murtagh, Broderick said. Cheryl really helps me work towards the betterment of both teams (field hockey and lacrosse.) We ' re really a Cagney and Lacey pair. Hopefully this Huntington Ave. pair of coaches can help this season ' s lacrosse team make its niche in the Division 1 ratings and become a team to watch each week. ■ — Deb Nyberg 112 Women ' s Lacrosse Opposite page: Jenine Fisher on the run; this page top left: tri-captain Gail Zimmerman (17) attacks while Mandy Chambetlin stands by; top right: tri- captain Laurie Griffin breaks away; opposite: tri- captain Patricia McCarty making a save; above: Mandy Chamberlin on the attack.

Emery, a Northeastern graduate, and a former member of the women ' s team, is very familiar with the politics of women ' s athletics. As a part-time coach, she is unable to get the financial backing that many men ' s teams get, and as a result, the team has suffered. They ' ve talked about placing more money into the women ' s program when the new boathouse is completed, said Emery. But, we are still waiting on the bill for the boathouse to pass. For Northeastern to acquire a piece of land on the Charles River to build the boathouse, the f University would need to lease the property from the Metropolitan District Commission on a long- term basis. s The women ' s team, established just 10 years S ago, has progressed by leaps and bounds since j Emery took the head coaching position. She is totally positive, said ' 87 co-captain Lynel Tocci. She ' s added a real stability to the team and has helped us become more victorious as a result. The team presently shares Boston University ' s boathouse; BU is also one of NU ' s toughest com- petitors. It makes it very difficult, said Tocci. It limits us on equipment also. Not to mention identity as a team. There is a lot of tension having to sh are BU ' s boathouse, ad- ded ' 87 co-captain Aimee Lyons. I think having one boathouse for the men and women would pro- mote more unity for the school. This is going to be an emotional year for me, said Emery, who has grown as a coach with her fourth-year rowers. There are a lot of people that I feel very close to; it will be tough to see them graduate. ' ' The morale is definitely better than it has been in past years, said Emery. The team has improv- ed from being in the top 12 in the Eastern Rowing Sprints to up near the top six. The future of women ' s crew and the morale of each rower depends heavily on the new boathouse. But for those who have been part of the women ' s crew team in the past five years, Beth Emery is a step in the right direction. The next step is the boathouse. ■ | — D.

Dorett Hope ' s squad has climbed from 8-3 (1982), to 8-5 in 1983. 1984 brought them to 5-5, and the next season concluded with a disappointing 2-9 record. On the rise once again after a successful 1986 campaign, women ' s tennis had a 7-3 finish and a fourth place in the Seaboard Conference Championships. Despite the fluctuations, Hope said that their switch to Division 1 a few years ago has had a positive effect. The caliber of play improved when we switched. Although our record hasn ' t improved, our play has, ' ' she said. However, Northeastern players have been successful in tournament play: last year ' s captain Susan Jarvis (class of ' 87) lost in the consolation finals of the New England Women ' s Inter- collegiate Tennis Championships in 1985, and Karen Nelson and her doubles partner Julie Beauchemin played second doubles at the MAIAW finals where they lost to Smith College in three sets. A highlight from the current season was soundly defeating Central Connecticut State University, 6-3, and breaking their 36-match winning streak. Senior Ilene Lieberman at- tributes the victory to her teammates ' talent. I think we were strong. We had more depth than any other team I was on, she said. Lieberman, who was the number one singles player during her freshman and sophomore years, fell on a court and spent the next two years sidelined. Maintaining the number three singles spot after her return this season, Lieber- man went on to win the third singles consola- tion final at the New Englands, while team- mates Aileen Smith (number one singles), and Shareine Moustafa (number one singles) both finished third in their divisions. I finished where I was expected to in tour- naments, but I had hoped to do better, Smith said. Paired with Lieberman for first doubles, they went undefeated all season. — Paula Ficarra Opposite page: Tina Lak waits for a serve; this page: back row (1 to r) assistant coach Mabel O ' Keefe, Sally Barbella, Kelly Kasprzak, co-captains Bridget Beebe and Julie Beauchmin, Ilene Lieberman, Fern Friedman, coach Dorett Hope; front row: (1 to r) Tina Cabral, Tina Lak, Aileen Smith, Kristin Waldndge, Rhondella Richardson, Shareine Moustafa. lltflirffi.n mm Item WAVAVi!

Calhoun was the Huskies all-time win- ningest coach. Karl Fogel, Calhoun ' s right-hand man, stepped in to take over the top spot. Many experts don ' t think the Huskies will skip a beat as a result of the change. The Huskies have appeared five times, three in a row, in the NCAAs. They have posted some impressive wins in the tourney over the years. They beat nationally ranked Fresno State in 1981, and St. Joseph ' s in 1982. NU ' s elimination in triple overtime to Villanova is considered by many to be one of the best games ever to be played during the NCAAs. The last three seasons have been the most successful in the team ' s 65-year history due to players like Mark Halsel, Reggie Lewis, Wes Fuller and Andre LaFleur. Halsel led the Huskies to its best season in 1983-84 with a 27-5 record. The tri-captains of this year ' s team, Lewis, Fuller and LaFleur, have combined to help the Hounds to a 3-year, 75-19 record. While the Huskies have all five of their starters returning, as well as 10 veterans, they face an extremely tough schedule. They will meet St. Joseph ' s, Syracuse, Jacksonville, and Big Eight member Oklahoma State, as well as BU, Canisius, Niagara and Siena. While Lewis, Fuller and LaFleur are the best known team members, the other two starters, John Williams and Kevin McDuffie, should not be forgotten or overlooked. Coming off the bench they have seniors Gerry Corcoran and Kevin Lee as well as Derrick Lewis. The team got off to a great start as they beat defending national champs Louisville in the Great Alaskan Shoot-out in Anchorage, Alaska. Let ' s hope this is a sign of things to come. ■ — Lisa M.

With an aggressive style of play, pressure play defense and patience to wait on the good shots, they have placed themselves among the top Division 1 competitors. They have taken home the Seaboard Conference Championship two years in a row ( ' 85 and ' 86) with impressive victories over UNH and top- ranked BU. Malchodi came to NU from Indiana with the goal of improving the Husky schedule and in- creasing recruiting. The first step was to develop full scholarships to lure promising high school talent that would help to develop a solid base to build on. The next step was to schedule some serious Division 1 competition. (Previously, the Huskies faced some Division 1 teams, but their schedule pitted them mostly against teams of the Division 2 and 3 caliber.) Each year we compile a better record with a more competitive schedule, ' ' said Malchodi. In support the statistics tell the story. In Malchodi ' s third season as head coach, the lady ,, hoopsters went to the final four of Region 1 § AIAW. The following season, after compiling S 19 wins, they came in second in the ECACs. In a the past three seasons, the Huskies have | compiled wins of 19, 22 and 20. The 1984-85 8 season served as their most successful with a g record of 22-7 and the first of their two Seaboard Championships. The 1985-86 season brought the Huskies their second consecutive championship with a record of 17-12. Three of their 12 losses had been games forfeited due to an ineligible player discovered mid-season. We look upon last season as being 20-7, Malchodi said. We don ' t look at those three games as losses, it was something unfortunate. Behind key players Carla Singleton, Joanne Healey, Adrienne Colbert and newly named assistant coach Corinne Gulas, the Huskies are looking to gain a birth in the NCAAs. Unlike the men ' s teams, the women are not ensured a spot. The teams must be picked to participate. The Huskies are looking to their competitive schedule and a consistent climb in the Eastern Conference to gain such a spot and complete the turn-around Joy Malchodi began seven years ago. ■ — Michelle DeBlasi 128 Women ' s Basketball v Opposite page, top: Leslie Davis dribbles the ball down the court; bottom: standing (1 to r) Amie Nap- pi, Charlene Bailee, Rochelle Davis, Yvette Ford, Arlene Poole, Lois Bukowsld, Shayne Sterrett, Leslie Willis, Dana Williams, Amy Malinaric, assistant coach Corinne Gulas; kneeling (1 to r) cap- tains Joanne Healy, Carla Singleton, Adrienne Col- bert, head coach Joy Malchodi; this page, above: Joanne Healy steals the ball; £ left: head coach Joy ° Malchodi (foreground) | gives instructions to (1 to r) 3 Joanne Healy, Dana § Williams and Leslie Willis.

In 1982-83, they were 13-14-1, in 1983-84 they were 16-12-1, in 1984-85 they were 13- 24-1, and last season they compiled a record of 20-17-2. But, we also saw the Beanpot come to Huntington Avenue in 1983 and 1984. Last season marked the second time this decade that the Huskies have won 20 games. They were an explosive team and proved they could play with, and beat, hockey powerhouses Minnesota (a sweep), Wisconsin, North Dakota and Northern Michigan. The Huskies played extremely well at home with a 13-4-2 record to prove it. They also took care of the BU jinx when they beat the Terriers at Walter Brown Arena, twice. But, it was perhaps a record of 1- 6-1 in their last eight games that sealed their fate, that and the fact that BU and BC hit their stride during the Husky slide. Goalie Bruce Racine was the backbone of the team, as usual. However, in playing 2,212 minutes in 37 games (an NU record), Racine suffered from fatigue when they needed him the most. Senior Jay Heinbuck surprised a lot of people when he set a single season assist and points record with an aggregate of 30-40-70, second only to BC ' s Scott Harlow. Rod Isbister also had another of his banner years for the Hounds with 27 goals and 29 assists for 56 points last year. Although the Huskies have lost Isbister and Heinbuck, the Hounds of Huntington Avenue do have a group of solid players, led by Racine. Flaman promises that Racine will have more rest this season as Mike Errico and Chris Long will make more appearances in the nets. On defense, the loss of Scott Marshall and Paul Fitzsimmons hurts. However, junior Clause Lodin, sophomore Marty Raus, one of Hockey East ' s best defensemen last season, will return along with Brian Dowd and seniors Gerry Kiley and Bill Whitfield. As for the front lines, they will be manned by Rico Rossi, captain Greg Pratt, Kevin Heffer- nan, David O ' Brien and Roman Kinal. They will be joined by players who showed promise last season — Dave Buda, Peter Massey, and Gregg Polak. ■ — Lisa M.

The team ' s successful history has kept MacLeod very optimistic. We may just have the best varsity record of all of the Northeastern sports teams, said the part-time coach, whose 1985-86 team was ranked second in the nation. MacLeod, having lost five strong starters from last year ' s squad, felt the team looked strong even in the early stages of practice. This was supposed to be a building year because we lost the majority of our defense, said MacLeod. But actually, they ' re playing together really well. I didn ' t expect the team to be this good at the very beginning. The strength of co-captains Tina Cardinale and Marge Sanford can help combat the loss of the experienced players. Cardinale, a junior for- ward from Hudson, contributed 15 goals to last year ' s team. Sanford, a junior from Medway, assisted the defense to the team ' s fourth con- secutive Beanpot title. Cardinale will be aided on offense by the ex- perience of Fiona Rice, Chris Fitzgerald, Ruth Rosenthal, and Tamara McLaughlin. Addi- tionally, the offense has the new talent of Lucy Goodwin, Joy Woodley and Julie Piacentine. But, it ' s the defense that will be the key to the 1986-87 team. With the young defense, coach MacLeod will be trying to work out a system which best fits their abilities. Veterans Donna-Lynn Rosa and Sanford will be working with new-comers Charlotte Hall and Maryanne Hamilton. Goaltending is left to veteran Marie Devine (5-0-0 last year) and sophomore Kelly Dyer (4- 2-1 last year). With the loss of Patti Hunt, MacLeod will be depending on both goalies to be consistent and effective. The women ' s ice hockey team in 1986-87 has got a tough act to follow. After last year ' s fourth consecutive Beanpot title, first place at the Concordia Tournament, a 19-4-1 record, and a national ranking of second, it would take a near perfect season to top it. But MacLeod feels their difficult schedule is just the challenge his women need. ■ — D.

Head coach Everett Baker, who moved up from assistant coach in 1984 to replace Irwin Cohen, takes lots of satisfaction in comments from people who equate our team with a large group of people who go out and take third, fourth, fifth and sixth places that add up to a cham- pionship performance. ' ' The 1985-86 team, led by captains Arthur Allen and Lawrence Hooker, placed first in both the New England ' s and the Greater Boston Championships. Richard Palma, Paul Quitzau and Geoff Caldarone took first place in the pen- tathalon, the 60-yard dash, and the 60-yard hurdles, respectively, at the GBCs. Hooker and Caldarone also captured first in the semi-finals and finals of the 5 5 -meter dash and 5 5 -meter hurdles, respectively, at the GBCs. In the 1984-85 season, NU placed first in the GBCs and second, behind BU, in the NEs. The team ' s top performers were Hooker, Gary Montiero and Nick Josey. Shot putter Mike Di- Quattro placed first in both the GBCs and NEs. The Huskies re-emerged as winners during the 1983-84 season as they stole first place in the NEs and GBCs. Steve Seargent became an Ail-American for the indoor mile. Kevin Hopkins broke the NU indoor record for the high jump with a jump of 7 ' . In the 1982-83 season NU again placed sec- ond behind BU in both the NEs and the GBCs, but managed to set a new record at the GBCs for the two-mile relay. As for the 1986-87 campaign, Baker says, We will have to rely on seniors now. We ' ll see distance runners doing better. Baker would like to see the team compete on a national level and get more of the attention it deserves. ■ — Kathy Fazio This page, top: Ed Urquiola leads the way; bottom: Gary Montieto listens to some tunes while sttetching out; op- posite page, top left: Rich Palma takes the hand-off from Mike Stone duung the distance medley face at the GBCs; top tight: (1 to r) Horace Vanriele and Lawrence Hooker 8 show the strain; bottom: Rich Palma (1) hugs Nick Josey o aftet Josey won the quarter-mile at the GBCs. 140 Men ' s Indoor Track Men ' s Indoor Track 141 142 Men ' s Indoor Track m| w u Kv. b- !

Men ' s Indoor Track 143 Women ' s Indoor Track Feast or famine? The fortunes of the women ' s indoor track team have depended upon the condition of the athletes: because coach Tom Wittenhagen ' s team is small, the loss of one runner can affect the team ' s standing. In the New England ' s two years ago we got 45 points; last year, with three of our people in- jured, we dropped to 13 points, Wittenhagen said. But over the years, the young women ' s in- door track team has been graced by the likes of shot putter Sandy Burke; distance runner Mia Mahedy; hurdler Kelly Toole, one of the best in New England; senior Michelle Millane, who holds the school record in the discus; and junior Donna Petrsorich, who holds the mile and 3,000-meter indoor records at Northeastern. Last year Donna made the finals of the 1500-meter run at the ECACs. That was an outstanding performance for a sophomore. I hope she can surpass that, Wittenhagen said. Other highlights from last season include Sue Madden ' s third place finish in the 600-yard run (she just missed qualifying for the ECACs), while teammates Cheryl Vedder and Heather Bacon had the school record for the high jump at 5 ' 5 . Hollie Lopes also had the meet record in the long jump with a leap of 17 ' . With a little luck and no injuries, Wit- tenhagen hopes co-captains Millane and Vedder will lead his team to greater success in local and regional competition this year. ■ — Paula Ficarra 144 Women ' s Indoor Track Opposite page: Lynn Sarcanowicz brings it home; this page, left: Husky long-jumper I Jennifer Woodard; top: Donna Petrsonch races to the finish line; above: coach Tom | Wittenhagen hugs Sue Madden.

But, head coach Janet Swanson isn ' t the least bit concerned, despite losing eight swimmers to graduation. I think we have grown in numbers in the last five years, Swanson said. People have come to realize that the swimming program is here to stay. With both the men ' s and women ' s programs to run, Swanson relies heavily on assistant coach Meegan Primavera and diving coach Joe Chirico to get the work done. The swimmers get a good education here at North- eastern and swim on a Division 1 team that is growing stronger each year, Swanson said, who seems to feel the school has attracted better quality swimmers every year. Last year ' s squad placed ninth in the New England Championships where several school records were set. Last year ' s New England Champion in the 100-and 200-meter breaststroke is junior Paul Wilson, who also finished in the top 20 at the Junior National Champion- ships in Orlando, Florida. Another swimmer to look out for is senior freestyler Jeff Morrison, who finished 10th in the 400-Individual Medley last year to break a school record with a time of 4:20.42. Overall, the team has a tough schedule to contend with. It will face stiff competition from UConn, UMass, BC and Maine, who was just added to the schedule this year. Dave Keller will be the lone upperclassman on the div- ing team, but four freshmen should add great depth to this year ' s squad.

NORTHEASTERN UNIUERSIT Men ' s Swimming and Diving 151 Women ' s Swimming and Diving g tneir own Head coach Janet Swanson feels her women ' s swimming program has made monumental leaps in the past five years. We were struggling five years ago to get the program off the ground, admits Swanson. But now we are able to bring in high caliber swimmers to help build the team. The 1985-86 season was a great one for the team. They finished second in the New England ' s, placed in the top 10 at the ECACs, and had an overall 8-2 record against a relatively new Division 1 schedule. The team moved into Division 1 in 1982 when the NCAA took over the AIAW, which also moved them into Division 1 in New England. The move meant tougher competition and less glamorous finishes for the women. It was tough on the women because they were swimming just as hard but finishing third or fourth instead of first, said Swanson. But the head coach feels the competition is good for the women and as a result, have built themselves into stronger swimmers with more exposure due to the Division 1 status. Tri-captains Cindy Johnson, Donna Jungbluth and Linda Porter will lead the 1986-1987 team into what they hope will result in a New England Championship. Kathy Deignan, New England champion in the 200, 500, and 1650 meter freestyle events, along with Johnson and Christine DeSimone will lead the freestyle distance events. Colleen Sullivan, Porter, Michelle Kennedy and Karin Salisbury will prove to be the powers in the backstroke events. The leaders in the breaststroke events will be Denise Neibel, Jungbluth, Kellie Karavites and Porter. A total of 10 women qualified to swim in the individual medley at last year ' s championships. Sophomore Michelle White, Northeastern ' s first NCAA Division 1 national qualifier, will lead six women in the diving events. New England finalist Vivian Toamine will be joined on the boards by the return of injured Chris Baribeau and freshman diver Paula Sam- kowski. ■ — D.

Women ' s Swimming and Diving 155 Women ' s Gymnastics A Balanced Act The way women ' s gymnastics coach Holly Szabo sees things, this year ' s team is one of her largest, strongest and most talented. With nine returning competitors, as well as five freshmen and two new upperclassmen, the potential is there for these NU gymnasts (who were 12-3 last year) to tumble their way to victory. You could say it ' s a building year for us with so many new members on the squad, said Szabo, who has been coaching the team for seven years. But as far as talent and potential, everyone seems to have it. For some you see it, for others it ' s hidden — but it ' s definitely there. Two of these talented gymnasts are captains Kim Mullaney and Susie Nyberg. Mullaney, in her fifth year with the team is the only senior. Nyberg, a middler, was a strong contributor in her first two seasons with the Huskies and should add leadership to the team. We do have a lot of talent this year and the potential to do well, said Mullaney, a Brookline native. We ' re also a really close team this year and I think that will make a big difference. While last year ' s top scoring seniors Stephanie Richard and Sharon Mahler will be missed, according to Szabo, Mullaney should make a big difference this season. Kim will be one of our strong points this year. She ' s really ready for the season and should be a leading scorer, said Szabo, adding, I don ' t really see us moving up in the rankings, but pretty much maintaining our eleventh place in the Northeast. The change I ' ve seen in gymnastics over the years is phenomenal and the ability the team has this year is great. But rules change to reflect ability, so while we ' re improving it looks like we ' ve maintained, Szabo said. — Deb Nyberg Top: Lisa Cleary; bottom: Susie Nyberg.

With over 160 student activity groups, there is at least one that students can identify with. Despite the large number of students that attend Northeastern, most organizations are staffed by a small amount of people. It is these dedicated few that make it work, and although some groups have been around for decades, some don ' t exist too long. Reflecting back, it ' s always change, change, change . . . P ' T ' ■ ' ■ ft P hotos from Northeastern University Communications Offi C f i m Wa Wb t. Civil Engineering students looking for an organization to join, should look to the Northeastern University American Socie- ty of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Student Chapter. The chapter ' s goals are dedication to academics, promoting professionalism in civil engineering, and providing a service for society. The chapter hosts a variety of ac- tivities, including a weekly lecture series that is presented by leading professionals. Field trips and social functions are also sponsored by ASCE. The chapter believes that undertaking community service projects meets their goals and objectives. Through these pro- jects, that are worked on from the concep- tion phase to construction, allow the students to develop skills outside of class Projects accredited to ASCE, that were designed constructed by the group, are as follows The Boston Center for Blind Children; an s activity area for children at the Joseph P. a Kennedy Memorial Hospital; a play therapy facility for the Boston Children Service Association; a children ' s group therapy facility for the Brookline Mental Health Center; and last year they design- ed an educational exhibit for the Boston Museum of Science, that highlights the role of civil engineering in building construction. One special attribute of this organiza- tion is that their involvement in various community service projects is completely voluntary, and academic credit is not received. The 1986 project is the construction of an outdoor recreational area for the Daniel Marr Boys and Girls Club. The entire community of Dorchester will benefit from this, as well as the members of the club. Founded in 1940, the ASCE has a cur- rent membership of over 200 civil engineering students. To become a member of a chapter that was chosen as the single most outstanding chapter seven times since 1977, go to the fourth floor of the Snell building. Freshman year membership is free, and starting soph- omore year it is $2. Dues increase one I dollar each year. £; o — Amie K. Miller jutside or class.

The goals of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, are to reach out to the community, stress social welfare, academic excellence, cultural enrich- ment, and improve the lives of others in any way possible. Founded on January 13, 1913, the Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta was form- ed on the Howard University campus in Washington, DC. As an organization, Delta Sigma Theta has traditionally addressed the issues of the time. In the 1980s, a center in Atlanta, Geotgia was established to support the families of those children who were brutally murdered. In 1982, this group marched in support of making the birth- day of Martin Luther King, Jr. a national holiday. In 1983, a program featuring teenage pregnancy was in- troduced as Summit II. This year, the Summit II program is continued by focusing on battered women. Another event of interest sponsored by this sorority, is Black Organization ' s Day. This provides an opportunity for freshmen and transfer students to see what organiza- tions for blacks exist on cam- pus. Since the sorority was founded, Delta Sigma Theta has received many awards. These include the 1983 Outstanding Freshman Award, Who ' s Who Among College Students, the Scarlet Key Award, Trustee Scholar Award, the National Merit Award, and Career Expo Scholarship. In 1986, they were honored with the Nguza Saba Award, Fine Arts Award, second place in the Minority Student Affairs Oratory Competition, and the Black Alumni Association Award. Delta Sigma Theta Delia Sigma Theta 163 International Student Forum m The International Student Forum, known as ISF, provides an opportunity to bridge the gap between international and American students. ISF also helps international students adjust to university life. One of ISF ' s goals is to sponsor activities that give the international students a chance to express their own culture and talents, while learning about others. These activities are non-political, and the organization functions as a group where the students can go for assistance and meet new people. During orientation week, ISF kicked-off the year with a reception on Oc- tober 2nd to welcome all foreign students. A potluck dinner was held on November 21st for the Thanksgiving holiday. Students enjoyed the American tradition by preparing food from their native land, and then in- dulging in the feast. For international students, Christmas means more ex- posure to another United States tradition, by going out for evenings of caroling. Their biggest event is the annual International Week that is held in May. Highlights for this function include a mini-bazaar, an international fashion show, an evening variety show, lectures, films, and cultural exhibits. — Sandy Nussbaum Above: ISF officers Varden Studios 164 International Student Forum The Northeastern Fencing Club provides students with an express- ed interest in fencing to learn the sport for recreational purposes. The club also provides ample oppor- tunities for students who wish to compete. This past June, the club sent eight students to the Bay State Games to represent Northeastern University. Three students went on to the final rounds of the competition. All of the equipment needed to fence with the club is provided by- Northeastern. The student only needs a good pair of tennis or similar shoes, a pair of sweat pants, and a t-shirt. Instruction is free to all members, and is taught by other members of the club. Club meetings usually include drills and open fencing. Inex- perienced students will be bouting with one another within four or five meetings. There are also op- portunities to take formal fencing instruction in the area, and the club makes trips to the Watertown Academy of Fencing, to fence against other and better opponents.

Alpha Epsilon Pi, is a Greek social organization that encourages its members to feel and act as individuals, and not only as a small part in the big academic or social machine. Each brother is considered as a distinct personality with hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Alpha Epsilon Pi was found- ed on November 7, 1913 at New York University. In March of 1921, the first Northeastern chapter was started, but disbanded when brothers entered the service dur- ing World War II to help their country. On June 3, 1962, the Sigma Kappa Psi chapter started up at Northeastern, and has continually improved and grown to where it is today. The 30 members of Alpha Epsilon Pi have obtained numerous awards and honors, but the most important to them is being recognized as having received the highest scholastic grade point average for frater- nities on campus since 1982. They were also winners of the 1986 Interfraternity Council ' s (IFC) Basketball Championship. Many fun events sponsored by A E Pi have become tradi- tions over the years. These events include the Spring For- mal and Awards Dinner, the Midori Melon Ball Bash, a Halloween party, Homecoming Float building, Booze Cruises, a party at 9 Landsdowne Street, and mixed happy hours with the Jewish students ' organiza- tion, Hillel. Alpha Espilon Pi would like to extend the following seniors congratulations on sharing the enjoyment of traternalism: Eric Arnold, Mark Berns, Steven Mikels, David Palen, Mario Prevost, and Larry Rubin. — Sandy Nussbaum Alpha Epsilon Pi Alpha Epsilon Pi 167 Phi Gamma Pi If you ' re looking for fun, take a trip to the Phi Gamma Pi fraternity on 241 Kent Street in Brookline. PGP has annual limousine races, neighborhood barbeque parties, a Christmas party, and a homecoming social, just to name a few. Housed in their own Victorian mansion, PGP provides a brotherly organization under one roof. Their purpose is to help one another while attending the university. Since 1982, they have won the All Sports Award, and earned other various sports and homecoming awards. This year, Dominic Gulli was named Fraternity Man of the Year. Established in 1924, Phi Gamma Pi moved to its current location in 1953. This fraternity participates in other various groups on and off campus. The scholastic achievements of Phi Gamma Pi has given them a distinguished reputation. — Amie K. Miller Phi Gamma Pi at Homecoming 1986. (above) and (opposite). Seated on floor; Ernest Masotta.

Be it of a competitive nature, such as raquetball or structured drop-in activi- ty such as aerobics, the involvement has increased about five times since its start in 1975. The student-run activities range from basketball to water polo, and are open to all students year round. Aerobics costs five dollars a quarter with 20 classes a week and has become the most popular. In the Cabot or Dockser Gym, aerobicizers are spurred on by the loud music and the energetic stu- dent instructor. For many students, intramurals pro- vides an outlet for stress inherent to col- lege life, yet it does not demand the time or the pressure of a varsity sport. It is a great chance to exercise and to meet other students.

Although, that doesn ' t necessarilly prevent feelings of loneliness or in- security, especially if you ' re a target of racism. For such students, with no identifiable place to go, June Chase-Dillon, assistant dean of ad- ministration, has given support in her very per- sonal way and through two programs that she oversees at NU; The Presidential Lecture Series (PLS), and the Society Organized Against Racism (SOAR). Northeastern is not unique, we have the same problems as any other school. We are unique, however, because we are doing something constructive to combat it (racism), said Chase-Dillon. PLS and SOAR are part of a broader campaign aimed at increasingly minori- ty retention and the number of black faculty members, she said. Since 1977 there has been a national decline in the number of black teachers an black graduate students, said Chase-Dillon. Accord- ing to her, the reasons are; uninviting at- mospheres within predominately white schools, the Reagan Administration ' s cutbacks in finan- cial assistance and the decline of federal pressure for Affirmative Action. NU is above the national average in respect to the number of black faculty members, however, the administration plans to increase that number by 50 percent by 1987, she said. Currently, only two percent, or 18, of the University ' s 843 full-time faculty members are black. The PLS, by inviting prominent black scholars and lecturers to campus is intended to provide black role models to students on the predominately white campus, she said. Former Congress woman, Shirley Chisholm, PLS ' s first speaker (January of 1986), urged students to continue their education. As a direct result of this NU has hired one black faculty member in the college of business, said Chase-Dillon. As further proof of the commitment, President Ryder has allocated $50,000 for the PLS in 1986 alone, she added. Administration at the highest levels and faculty are willing to help, said Chase-Dillon, they aren ' t just doing it, they ' re doing it because it is morally right. However, Chase-Dillon points out that most of the racial problems occur in the classrooms and around campus. SOAR has a chapter on campus that was introduced in 1983. Chase- Dillon serves as Clerk for SOAR ' s consortium of local colleges and universities which is dedicated to combating racism through exposure to dif- ferences and mutual workshops, she said. Ac- cording to Chase-Dillon the program will bring in speakers to discuss a variety of issues, in- cluding racism, prejudice and discrimination. This year, she said, there will be an effort to get general consciousness raising workshops going throughout the entire campus. Committed to helping those pressured by racism, she leaves her door open to students by lending an ear or cutting through the red tape for those blown away by the bureaucracy, she said. She is also Administrative Secretary of the Office of Sponsored Research, which makes her a liaison between NU and the community. We ' re not just a sleeping giant here, we give something back to the community, she said. Chase-Dillon, at NU for 17 years, plans to retire in 1988, but may stay on part time. She said her work is stressful, yet gratifying. I ' m doing a needed service and once you ' re ap- preciated, it ' s alright. I ' ve grown and learned new skills and I ' ve been awarded for it. For the students that so frequently call on her to talk, she offers some optimism; it can happen, it happened to me.

The amazing thing about Peter, however, is that he has juggled an array of activities as well. Finding solace in his trumpet playing for the NU Band four nights a week and at sports events, he also tutors fellow students and belongs to the American Pharmaceutical Association and Alpha Zeta Omega. Since third grade he ' s been playing the trumpet and in college has been involved with bands outside of NU. He and his band The Bag Boys won the NU Talent show last year and one night a week he practices singing and playing with a group of really good musicians that appear at Saint Ann ' s Sunday mass on St. Stephens Street, which services 22 local colleges. Taking pride in the NU Band, he is only sorry that more people don ' t come to listen or don ' t attend the sports events. Enthusiastically, he recalled NU ' s five to four win in over-time against Harvard in the 1986 Beanpot. I got so excited that I hugged the guy next to me, he said, I live for that kind of stuff. Too bad more people don ' t come to the games and appreciate that part of college life. Paying the other half of his tuition that ' s not picked up by the scholarship, he said, I ' m real- ly glad NU gave me a chance, and I don ' t think that I ' ve let them down, at all. He discovered through co-op that he doesn ' t want to be a pharmacist. I felt I couldn ' t cut it as a pharmacist. I have a lot of respect for people who can. In middler year he got a chance to try research, which he preferred. Dr. Richard Deth put me on a project to study how blood vessels contract, he said. The results of that study will be published in spring of 1987. In the fall of 1985 he went to West Virginia University to participate in a University Graduate Research Seminar where he gave a talk. He also spoke before Dr.s and Ph.D.s at the Federal American Societies for Experimental Biology Convention in St. Louis last year and again at Scholar ' s Day at NU. Although he admitted to being really afraid at first, he said, I got into doing this and I got to love it. For once in my life I found something I ' m really good at. When does he study? Peter said that he learns while in class and doesn ' t have to refer to his notes much after that. He asked that we remember his Rho Cask friends that study the effects of alcohol on occas- sion, or as Peter observed, while tolerance for alcohol goes up, g.p.a. goes down. Eventually, he said he ' d like to be a teacher. But, come September of 1987, he ' ll be shooting for a Ph. D in Pharmacology at the University of Michigan.

However, Jennifer Wheelden, a senior, felt so impassioned by a life full of exercise that she com- bined two of her greatest interests, sports and psychology, to create her own major sports psychology. Jennifer said that many students go through four or five years of college without ever taking up what really in- terests them, they just follow the pro- gram. A lot of kids come to school and say, ' I really meant to this . . . ' , but don ' t really follow up on it, she said. As a declared psychology major she was forced to choose a concentration in sophomore year but she said that she didn ' t want to pick from any of the given choices. After taking millions of aerobic classes at NU, she decided to try teaching some. So, in November of 1984, after taking the necessary tests, she became an instructor and eventually assistant director of the program. As aerobic instructor, Jennifer had to design her own programs and put together a tape, keeping in mind tempo and choreography. I started reading books, I read everything, she said, to find information on a program. Taking suggestions from students, she tried to make the classes more fun. I had the psychology and I had the aerobics, but I never had anything that tied them together, she said, until she began working in the intramurals office at the end of her sophomore year. I hea d about sports psychology, she said, and thought, ' this could be it ' . Although she ' ll receive a diploma in psychology, she will have taken all the appropriate health, sports and leisure classes, gained enough experience through co-op, and being an aerobics in- structor to put her on her desired path. Make no mistakes though, it was a lot of work putting your own major together, she said, especially at a school this large. Thanks to the advice of a few NU professors, she took the right courses. Jennifer, who said that she is really in- to running and lifting weights, was very active in her high school field hockey and track teams in I was always very in- terested in sports, she said, It ' s a big part of my life. This latest fitness craze, she said, has many people obsessed with exercise, for perhaps the wrong reasons. I never heard anyone say that I want to lower my resting heart rate, though that ' s a benefit of aerobics, she said, adding that this is the type of information she asks aerobic instructors to stress. Most people aren ' t doing it because it makes them feel good, but because they have to, she said. An area that she plans to study in the future is the connec- tion of fitness obsession to anorexia and bolemia. She has applied for graduate pro- grams in sports psychology and athletic training. The field is very new, she said, there are a number of options. Ultimately, she said that she would like to open a consulting business for teams and corporations, continue research and maybe have a fitness center on the side. ■ _, , , Kathleen Fazio Joan Johnson International Business John Johnson Accounting Finance Scott Johnstone Lynn Joseph Richard Kahn Human Resources Marketing Peter Kanellias Finance Richard Kantor Ross Kapi ian Timothy Kasida Dina Kazis Bonn e Keen Ja net Keenan Finance Trans|xmat Marketing Finance Mar keung F.nance Barbara Kennedy Marketing Management The same old runaround As universities go, Northeastern is one of the most ingeniously designed. The basic pattern is elliptical, which blends well with the university motto Whatus Goeth Around Cometh us Aroundus. The format for the university is also drawn from real-life: the obstacle course. There are plenty of difficult obstacles. So let ' s start at the Bursar ' s Office with contestants be- ing forced to leap over a financial block. Since the block gets higher the longer it remains in place, this is a tough starter. If the block is scaled, the students have to spring around the corner to the Financial Aid office. After filling out the required three reams of forms, the successful applicants will be al- lowed to move on the next step. To make things interesting, approximately half of the successful applicants will be contacted later in the race and told their approved loans have been revoked. They will have to immediately return to the Bursar ' s Office to clear up the resulting financial blocks. They will not pass go. They will not col- lect $200. At this point in the race, half the remaining contestants will then learn that a computer glitch has erased their registration records and they will have to enter the drop-add zone, which entails several grotesque horrors that decency prevents me from printing. Those who avoid the drop-add zone will race through the underground tunnels to the library. Their task will be to find at least one book that is in some way related to any one of the 1,076 randomly selected term paper topics. Failing that, they can proceed to the next obstacle by finding a book on the stacks that was published in the last 40 years. That is considered the harder of the two obstacles. At some undetermined point in the race, students will be contacted by the Bursar ' s Office and told that their library book is overdue. This will happen whether or not the book has been returned. It is up to the individual student to escape this bottomless pit. The next stop is the famed History Central, located somewhere downwind of the animal cages in Mugar. Students will then be asked to audit three audiovisual lectures and answer the questions at the end of two discussion packets. If the student is successful in this pursuit the next step is a colloquium in which a teacher- tron will pose a sequence of rhetorical questions about the childhoods of Karl Marx and John Lenin. At this stage, half of the students will be asleep. The rest will hot foot it over Huntington to the Lane Health Center. The task will be to convince the receptionist that you are indeed sick. Bleeding will be allowed as long as the blood is real and the wound is not too obviously self-inflicted. Successful in-patients will then scramble to the economics department where the sole test will be to pass an exam based on information provided by non-English speaking instructors and re-presented by non-English speaking teaching assistants. The next venue is the bookstore. Students still in the hunt will be asked to find a textbook for under $20. Then they will have to go find something of real value that has the NU logo on it. This is much harder than it seems. In the interest of realism, the next impedi- ment is the Bursar ' s Office. That completes the elliptical nature of the course, which is also an endurance race because it takes five years to complete. Good luck and may the most masochistic win. ■ David S. Kiffer 61.

One of the major cogs that not only keeps this transformation moving, but flourishing, as well is Phyllis Schaen. She has worked herself up through many levels to become the first woman dean of administration. Under this title she oversees the Registrar ' s Office, administrative computer services, hous- ing, administrative budget management and several staff members as well. It is difficult, but never boring . . . it ' s a people oriented job, said Schaen, who has worked at NU for 17 years. She describes her work as policy making and problem solving on an admii : strative level. It ' s up to her to house people at Emmanuel College (as in 1986) if there is a shortage of housing on campus. It ' s up to her to shorten orientation if many people feel that it is too long. Her efforts have direct effects on NU ' s appeal to students and workers. NU ' s image has improved very much. We ' re not Harvard, but we don ' t want to be. They ' re good at what they do and we ' re ex- tremely good at what we Jo, says Schaen. She stressed how concerned the present administra- tion is with image. Strategic Planning, said Schaen, is a team Lawrence Decelles Electrical Engineering Lisa Delloiacono Electrical Engineering Juan Delmoral Industrial Engineering effort approach that involves adapting departments as best as possible to meet expected changes in the future. Presently, the biggest objective is student retention. Lots of univer- sities are focusing on retention efforts, she said, because the population of 18-year-old students is expected to drop significantly. One example of efforts to achieve retention is the simplifying of registration, she said. Registration lines were a big complaint among students, but with the new system, she said that she knows the students are satisfied. No one comes up to me and says, Gee, what a great registration! , but then there aren ' t nearly as many complaints, she added. She also looks at programs that through the years become less critical and then either shrinks them or dissolves them. I ' m a penny-pincher, said Schaen, I was once told to treat your budget like your personal checkbook. Involved with various committees, such as the operations committee, she is interested in getting other administrators to deal with students directly and for them to react to student ' s complaints. With a B.S. in communications from Boston University and a doc- torate and Master ' s in education from NU, she does guest lecturing and seminar teaching. However, she prefers residing in an administrative posi- tion versus that of a teacher. Most importantly perhaps, she said is being in an educational atmosphere rather than working for an industry whose products are just that — products. Here our products are people, said Schaen. ■ Kathleen Fazio Cooperative Education Award Winners — 1987 Rhoda A. Arguin Russell F. Benson Rainer Betz H. Bradley Bertrand Wing Cheung Joseph F.

Deciding on one to profile, isn ' t easy. The student, however, should symbolize a true interest in learning. After all, that ' s what education is, an expression of curiosity and hard work. At first meeting, Carol Beggy, a print concen- tration minor, filled the room with lively anec- dotes and through her writing conveys a sense of reality by getting to the core of whatever it is she covers for the Northeastern News or the Boston Globe. Five years of classes and co-op is a long time, Heck, only 40 percent of marriages last five years, as Carol wrote, but in that time she ' s | participated in student activities while main- taining a Dean ' s List status. From her first semester up to her last, Carol, a Pennsylvania native, has been working for the Northeastern News, recently completing her third quarter as Managing editor. While the job takes 50 to 60 hours a week, she also retains a part-time post as General Assignment reporter for the Boston Globe, where she has co-oped since the end of her freshman year. Despite the long hours and late nights put- ting the paper to bed, she rarely missed her eight a.m. gym class — ice skating. I was skating like a zombie, said Carol, who likes to take the one credit classes because, where else can you learn something like . . . archery?! Also minoring in Russian studies, Carol pro- vides News ' readers with Administration and SGA news, reflections on the qua rter, and her view of life at Northeastern in opinion columns. At times she also must explain News ' policies to hostile readers, as in the case of the controversial columnist Sims. She compares working for the News to cover- ing a small town. All the parts are there, the Ad- ministration, the student body, sports, arts, etc., including the readers ' grumbling over coverage. Many times, said Carol, the feeling from the Administration is If you ' re not for us, you ' re against us. However, she added, if someone steps out of line, or isn ' t doing their job, it ' s our job to say something, to inform. Repeating what the Administration says to the News when dissatisfied with its coverage, Carol said, they have to realize that we can ' t be all things to all (cont.) 272 Engineering people. We fight with them sometimes. But, you lave to give credit where credit is due. We have i smart administration right now that realizes he news works both ways. They get more ingered if a University official is unavailable for omment than anything else. The newspaper will change as the kids who un it do, she said, adding that in the last four ir five years the paper has become more finan- ially responsible, more personally responsible nd more academically responsible. It used to be rarity if someone on the editorial staff made he Dean ' s List. However, in the last five years, t ' s rarer if the entire editorial staff doesn ' t make he Dean ' s List. Although the News may be strong on quali- y, they run short on quantity. It ' s hard to iave an activity at NU because of co-op, she aid. Wasting no time, Carol ' s byline started to appear in the Globe in the summer of 1985 answering phones at the city desk, assigning photographers the region desk, and coor- dinating other news co-ops. Her stories ranged from Groundhog Day in Punxsutwney, Penn- sylvania to reporting from the State House and City Hall Bureaus. Carol feels lucky to have had the experience of working in a metropolitian newsroom during major events such as the bombing of Libya or the TWA hijacking in 1985. I learn a lot wat- ching editiors make decisions, she said, but it ' s terrible to think your good fortune is somebody else ' s misfortune. Recently, Carol interviewed a family in Watertown while they watched their house burn from a neighbor ' s porch. She expressed sympathy for the family and after explaining who she was and what paper she was from she offered to get in touch with the hard-to-reach Red Cross for them. While she and a reporter from the Boston Herald were interviewing the family a T.V. crew appeared and the people changed, said Carol, referring to the family ' s uneasiness in front of the cameras. Her reasons for pursuing print rather than T.V. journalism are exemplified through the in- cident in Watertown. Because of the time con- straints and lack of intimacy of television, Carol has witnessed people put in forced situations. I ' ve seen them (T.V. reporters and or camera crew) set up situations, by saying something like put the kid on your knee ' or something. Journalism, with deadlines and research and leg work and constant interaction with people, is like a continuous education and seems an ideal continued on 274 Michael Mannion Electrical Engineering Jeffrey Mansfield Electrical Engineering John Marcinczyk Electrical Engineering Peter Marconi Electrical Engineering Adam McCloskey Mechanical Engineering John McDonald Electtical Engineering William McDonnell Electrical Engineering Robert McGee Mechanical Engineering Robert Martin Mechanical Eng ineering Stephen McGovern Civil Engineering Gary Meyering Mechanical Engineering Suzanne Michaud Gvil Engineering Wilner Michel Mechanical Engineering Scott Miguorini ElectricaJ Engineering Gilbert Miller III Electrical Engineering Cynthia Mitze Electrical Engineering mAmk Christopher Molinaro Mark Monahan Civil Engineering Industrial Engineering Christopher Moraine Electrical Engineering Carlos Morelli Gvil Engineering continued from 273 choice for Carol, who said, I like people and like to know whats going on ... I ' ve always been curious. She added that she likes to bust my butt for something and then see the final project the next day. A person that she most admires and still keeps in touch with is Sister, her high school Latin teacher, who while in her 80 ' s with various degrees and fluent in many languages, believed in learning for learning ' s sake.

Nasim G. Memon, a biology senior, fits this description perfectly and her energy and commitment have made her a student leader. Born in Anand, India, she became a naturalized U.S. citizen when her father ' s veterinarian research brought the family over in 1976. After a year of general studies at UMass Amherst, Nasim enrolled at Northeastern because of the co-op program. Her experiences include positions as a Biochem lab technician at both the Harvard School of Public Health, Lown Cardiovascular Founda- tion (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 1985) and at the Harvard Medical School Neuroen- dochrology lab. Her last year was spent at the MIT Nuclear Reactor lab as a Radio Chemistry lab technician. At NU, Nasim has been active in numerous student activities. She was a member of the Association of Students from the Indian Sub- continent (ASIS), the NU Beta Biological Socie- ty and in the coalition against apartheid. She aided the Student Activities Office on their travel committee in 1985-86 and was named to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Univer- sities for two years. But her greatest contribu- tion was to the International Student Forum (ISF). Nasim joined the ISF in order to learn about different cultures. In Spring 1985 she coor- dinated the annual International Variety Show during the International Week and stood for presidency of the ISF and was elected unanimously. Her first goal in her new position was to show that international students can make im- portant contributions to the NU community. Nasim has represented NU at three National Association for Foreign Students Affairs con- ferences and has brought back many useful ideas. Through her association with ISF, Nasim also furthered her interest in international rela- tions and her languages, which include Spanish, Gujariti, and American Sign Language. ■ — S.

Parties on campus And also the frats, Football and hockey games, Afiredrill — oh rats! Fun in hood humor, T-O-G-A, pantyraids, Clean up your dorm room, Remember — no maids! Remember Punters and Sidelines How could we forget, The bars we could enter we ' re not legal yet. First finals approaching, Coffee galore . . . Cramming those last few hours On Dodge ' s sweaty third JT I jfo floor. Sophomores, too old For dorm life now, One year behind us Take the first bow. Apartments they call them, That ' s fancy for box. Anything of value — make sure it is locked No more dorm food to eat A definite plus; Our Kitchen and Cappy ' s says Leave the cooking to us. Field experience started Interviews, Resumes. What is that motto?? COOP — It pays! Enjoying a solitary moment on the river. Above: The Boston skyline at night; below: Newbury Street. Then there ' s the middler, And what year is that? Keg parties continued, And on goes the fat. Now we are smarter. Buy our books late. Long lines at the bookstore, Why should we wait? Off campus, we travel, Hot spot of the night Who ' s on First was a favorite o The floor was a sight. £ A summer in school, | Oh what a drag. Enjoyed those long weekends, suffered Monday jet lag. Runs to the packie, Is that keg going to last? Thursday ' s arrived With long lines at the Cask. Conclusion 307 COOP, — in school, And COOP again. You ' re half-way, Think positive . . .

Time ' s getting closer . . . Did you buy a class ring? Have you gone to Ft. Lauderdale For your spring fling? No longer the Cask, The crosswalk is new. Looking around campus, Old remnants are few. COOP has ended, Senior pictures been snapped. We ' re the big wheels on campus four years have elapsed. For signing and pleasure Have you bought your yearbook? For gossip — N.U.

Below: Shooting some hoop by Speate Hall. The final stretch is in view. Senior fever has spread. Still homework and papers I ' m losing my head. Last quarter together A huge senior class. Senior week of activities, Time passes fast. Graduation is over. Champagne is all gone. Now those five years Don ' t seem nearly as long. Our experiences at N.U., Now a thing of the past, Memories and friendships are forever . . . If you want them to last. — Sally Lovezzola r Reflections ' ollege was, (and I say was because we ' re pretty darn near done with it), fuzzy memories of the Cask. Mug nights, hot dog specials and hor- rendously loud, bad music. It is fitting that the last class of Northeastern students who had happy hours and a 20-year-old drinking age should be the last class with the Cask. Not to dwell on drinking, by hey, college students, in their time flirting with academia, dwell on drinking. Most students measure the success of their freshman year, and in fact, their college career by the number of wild stories and cloudy memories they have. The good times are remembered by how much we drank, who we came home with, where we left our clothes, where we found our clothes, and how much trouble we managed to get ourselves into and out of . . . Once we graduate we will join the thousands of alumni who have gone (or commenced) before us and our ties to the university will never stop. You see, once we pay our last tuition pay- ment — then they ask for donations to build the library they promised us when we were students here for five years. How will we be remembered? We won ' t be the long talked about ac- tivists who infested the campus in the late 60 ' s and 70 ' s. We may only be known as the Class of 1987 — too late to be yuppies, too early for whatever the next trend may be. We may be lost in the shuffle. Or we may be one of the most successful classes to ever get our diplomas and march out of Boston Garden. Who knows? Look. Your diploma cost $46,000. Cheer up. If you had gone to school five years later it would have cost you $50,000.H — Carol Beggy Middle: Snoozing between classes; right, passing time in the quad. 312 Conclusion ■Kfl mH lw L CUOIO 1 1 _
