Wr - _ 1980-81 RANGER REGIS COLLEGE DENVER, COLORADO Regis College (re • jis kal • ij) n. a four-year private Jesuit institute for higher learning; the buildings etc. of such institution. L. collegium, a society Regis College is located in the northern portion of Denver, the capital city of Colorado. Besides being over 5,280 feet above sea level, the majestic peaks of the Rocky Mountains are within a short drive of the city and col- lege. Denver is currently one of the fastest growing cities in the southwest, which provides a variance of activities: from professional football to Broadway plays, discos to country western bars, punk rock to symphony. This environ- ment offers the Regis student large city opportunity combined with small city atmosphere. The mountains to the west become a week-end haven for those who ski, backpack, camp, or just plain wish to get away from it all. - .. All education is a continuous dialogue — questions and answers that pursue every problem to the horizon. That is the es- sence of academic freedom. — William O. Douglas The mind is but a barren soil — a soil which is soon exhausted, and will produce no crop, or only one, unless it be continually fertilized and enriched with foreign matter. — Sir Joshua Reynolds II i HH ! in Si 1 1 l 1 ill 11 ■|1 il SI i ii i i i Regis College is a Catholic institution in the Je- suit tradition committed to educating for bal- anced personal and social growth and develop- ment. It seeks to provide an environment for answering the fundamental question: How best is it to live? In the four hundred year old Je- suit tradition, we share a world evolving from and moving toward God, Who is love; and we see this world and call it good. Starting from such optimism about human life and respo nding in imitation of Jesus Christ, Who came to serve, not to be served, the College seeks to educate its students and provide them with a quality educational experience. The knowledge goals of Regis College are designed to give stu- dents some specific expertise and the well- rounded knowledge necessary for adapting to new situations. m I just wanted to take a few minutes to welcome everyone to the Ranch , whether it be a re- turn trip or for the first time. Most upperclassmen surely know what the term the Ranch is all about but for the freshmen and new transfers, this description might be a trifle confusing. However, don ' t waste your time ask- ing an upperclassman for a definition because the Ranch really can ' t be explained; only felt. This week, the Ranch will be expressed in various ways ranging from fanatical honking as an upperclassman reaches campus to the ever- present yells and trips to the Top . When friends reunite or a favorite secluded campus spot is revisited the Ranch feeling is present. We will all be deep into classes soon, yet we will never lose touch with the great times and memories the Ranch will provide. Again, wel- come to the freshmen, transfers and upperclassmen and let ' s have a great year at the Ranch .

Each year, over 300 Freshman arrive upon the Regis College campus. They are filled with ex- citement and apprehension as to what their col- lege days will bring. This year ' s Frosh were no different than other classes in the past. In many ways these students are the campus, the major- ity of them residing in the student dorms, but more because of their carefree spirits from being away from home for the first time. This year ' s Freshmen Class Officers were from the Key party: Jeff Seul — President Bob Smith — Vice President Sheila Ash — Secretary Chris Carlin — Treasurer L. v Sheila just thinks we ' re having a meeting W T We won . . . but don ' t ask us what we won!

The newness of col- lege, so prevailant during one ' s Freshman year has worn off and the prospect of three or more year ' s of college can be a dilemma which often lead ' s to The Sophomore Blues . Not quite upperclassmen, and not really underclassmen, Sopho- mores have to use their spirit and ingenuity many times just to save their sanity.

Juniors begin to wind down their undergraduate years. This is the time to begin planning for Life after Regis . Through workshops, Juniors begin to learn interviewing techniques, re- sume writing and other basic skills to help them get that First Real Job. Others begin to pave their way to future studies, whether it be Medical School, Law School, or just plain Graduate Studies. This years Junior Class Officers were, Senior Michael G.

A Large crowd of friends, faculty, staff, and students of Regis College attended the Mass and the reception which fol- lowed. he school year was now reality as we epped foot upon the Regis College ampus back in September of ' 80. egis was full of activity once again, oland was also in an excited state as efiant workers decided to rise up. heir protests over food shortages and emands for rights shook the regime, [aybe some Regis Students had a ugh time starting their engines to be- military draft eSo - e M A S H ttQ 1? £ si i? U gin rolling through the school year. De- troit ' s Big Three auto makers were rolling out the new 1981 ' s, but with imports on the rise, finding out that the selling of American cars would be a struggle. Engines were overheating in Washington for the battle of the White House: Carter and Reagan were dead- locked. The voters were skeptical and fickle and the outcome wholly unpre- dictable. Toxic chemical waste became an issue in September as it was posing an omin ous threat to the environment. 9e t e if Hinckley dec in JP o Life for the Regis student in October of ' 80 was peaceful and serene in com- parison to the life of those in Iran. Iraq attacked Iran, and the nightmare of war in the Persian Gulf appeared to be a coming reality. The secrets of science were still being unlocked, needless to say. Carl Sagan ' s PBS series Cos- mos confirmed him as America ' s pre- mier popularizer. % Mlaney supp ' y Workers in Poland continue strikes despite warnings Many questions faced Americans back in November of ' 80. The T.V. debate between Carter and Reagan posed many questions. The hostages in Iran were asking when they would be re- leased. Signals from Tehran were far from clear, but new hopes emerged for the release of the 52 hostages. Mean- while, in their bitter war, Iran and Iraq battled for control of the oilfields of Khuzistan. The fate of the hostages be- came the last decisive issue in the race between Carter and Reagan. The smil- ing Ronald Reagan ' s smashing victory surprised even his fans by its size. American citizens were also amazed by Voyager I which sailed past Saturn, sending back astonishing photographs and surprising, often contradictory in- formation, about icy moons, seas of liq- uid nitrogen and the hundreds of rings around the planet. o.

NBC ' s Today and ABC ' s Good Morning America went for first, while CBS ' s Morning with Charles Kuralt rapidly gained ground. As the Regis student prepared for ex- ams, he might have wished he had his own robot to do his work. Wishful thinking? Maybe it was closer to reality than previously thought. Robots could be found welding cars, mining coal, and sorting fish. The upheaval of all this was surely thought to cost jobs, but there was a promise of huge gains in productivity. On the entertainment scene, the Rocky Mountains were pro- viding more than pleasurable skiing trips for Regis students. Beneath the slopes of the Rocky Mountains lie a vast treasure in oil, coal, gas and shale oil. The race to tap those riches was bringing boom times to eight states, and new threats to a cherished way of life. With music, the Beatles brought about a generation ' s highest hopes, and with John Lennon ' s tragic death at 40, the dream faded. Americans confronted and pondered the latest killing in a wave of violent crime. MBsrfTiW Gov. Dick Lamm «5. tfo ( James Watt Of ' e o  As Regis students ventured back into the halls after Christmas vacation to begin a new semester, Reagan hoped to make a new beginning for the Unit- ed States. Reagan had won an aston- ishing personal and potential victory, helped to revive the two-party system, kindled new hope and reawakened old fears. The New Administration was symbolized by the spaceship Columbia, the first space shuttle. The Space Pro- gram was beginning to revive dreams. Ronald Reagan ' s biggest problems to combat were both inflation and reces- sion. Fortunately, for both Reagan and the nation, the hostage crisis came to a close. The U.S. and Iran finally reached a breakthrough on terms for freeing the 52 Americans, thus drawing an end to an agonizing and embarass- ing crisis in U.S. History. Soviet Press Mocks Reagan The month of February warms the hearts of all. It warmed the hearts of the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran as a surge of relief, joy and patriotism swept the country upon their return home. Pots of money, a resurgance of neglected brunettes and the astonishing beauty of 15-year-old Brooke Shields warmed the hearts of many also. Shields brought excitement to the fasci- nating and often bizarre profession of modeling. Back in February of ' 81 the economy of the United States did not look promising, but we were not alone. Britain was experiencing its worst re- cession since the 1930 ' s. Prime Minis- ter Margaret Thatcher battled on with her high-risk monetarist policies. A sense of American Renewal became a major issue in the U.S. Not only did the economy and politics need revival, but the moral and spiritual values needed to be strengthened. At a time when the world appeared to be enemy territory, the U.S. Needed a strong military, realism in appraising Soviet strengths and weaknesses, and policies based on self-interest and a can-do faith. Americans needed a sense of re- sponsibility for themselves and for their community. As c ta5 % ?s °c t Anne Gorsuch Reagan March, springtime in the Rockies, is a month which marks new beginnings. Ronald Reagan planned for new begin- nings by summoning the U.S. to take a historic turn from more government to less. His plan to cut taxes and spend- ing was a risk for the nation. Science took on a sense of new beginnings also. Newly formed gene splicing com- panies were turning biochemists into millionares. Medical drugs, research, and agriculture were beginning to reach new heights. Alexander Haig, Secretary of State, wanted to make a new beginning. He had taken charge of the office with little or no hesitation. Violent crime was once again becoming a national curse. The criminal justice system apparently was not working. Fear prompted the changing lives of many U.S. citizens. With the attempted assassinations on President Reagan and Pope John Paul II, coupled with the earlier assassination of John Lennon, fear gripped the world and the prevail- ing question WHY? Broadening hori- zons became apparent as the Japanese conquered markets for automobiles, televisions, stereos and watches. Japan became the world ' s toughest competi- tor. An eventful year, to say the least. The 1980-81 Academic Year came to a close in April of 1981, but world events continued to change around us, as each of us moved into our future. anti- FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVED IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

The Executive Board was responsible for the success of Freshmen Orientation, Freshman Frolic, three revenue producing con- certs, Parent ' s Weekend, the March of Dimes Dance Mara- thon, the Inagural Ball, and Ranger Week, to name a few. The primary goal of the board was to enhance and develop the existing rapport between the administration and students. Through the individual and collective efforts by the members, this task was a monumental success. The board members were: President, Jim Walden; Vice-Presi- dent, Matt Ruhl; Treasurer, Mark Quinn; Director of College Relations, Joey Gomes; Director of Community Affairs, Chris McGrath; Social Director, Judith Willcox; Secretary, Mary Corcoran; and Chief Justice, Marthe Carrick. The G.A. Tackles The General Assembly is the designated law-making body for the Regis students. The assembly meets bi-monthly to discuss issues and events concerning the entire student population. G.A. also passes decisions made by the Executive Board. Mem- bership includes class officers, three off-campus positions, and students elected by dorms. Major issues discussed were the election of Charlie Cindric as Belial Bar Manager and the passing of the by-laws pertaining to the Regis constitution. Matt Ruhl was chairperson of the G.A. r© The Constitution Members of the 1980-81 General Assembly were; (front row L to R), Nancy Langston, Tony Lee, Jane Hinds, Maureen Corbley, Katie Coates, Tracy Wedepohl, Jeff Seul, Lori Medina, Missy Robinson, (back row L to R), Brian Walsh, Patty Dwan, Kathy Ash, Julie Manders, Joe Finan, Karen Garcia, Mark Bauman, Terry Hugar, Peggy Lingle, Shelly Hee, and Eileen Ramerez.

Linda Britton Circulation Editor . . . Mark Landergini Business Manager . . . Caren Hunt Contributors: Mike Ryan, Jeff Seul, Sean Miller, Karen Huss, and Terry Daly Pipeline Coffeehouse Entertains 1980-81 was the year for the resurgence of the Pipeline Coffeehouse. The coffeehouse ' s stage was graced with year long quality entertainment ranging from bluegrass and folk music to poetry and short plays. Beside the entertainment, the coffeehouse provided an alter- native gathering place on campus. This, along with its gra- cious manager Jim Hermann and his staff, proved to be an unbeatable combination. The Belial Bar Rocked the Ranch The Belial Bar, under the manage- ment of Charlie Cindric, was notori- ous for its wildness and after hours fun. Aside from the usual Drown Night the FAC ' s, the bar incorporat- ed into its calendar; movies, football games, beach parties, and a punk night. Cameo appearances were often made by Mother Mangard, Joe Regis, and other local talent. :i H Careers in Medicine The Careers in Medicine Club annually sponsors many events which focus primarily in the various fields of medicine. Each year they conduct a health fair where you can have your blood tested, blood pressure taken, and test your lung capac- ity, among other things. Lecture Series Sponsored by the Social Science Departments Orientation Welcomes the New Incoming Freshman Class Freshman Orientation provides the support the freshmen need as they enter a new and exciting world — namely, Regis College. The Orientation Facilitators are the essential link in helping form a more pleasurable atmosphere for the entering freshmen. Events which were planned to help new frosh become familiar with Regis consisted of a dance, a trip to the Rockies, a night at Elitch ' s, tours of Denver, and activities which helped them prepare for academic life. Entering freshmen feel more comfortable at Regis due to the continued effort from those who plan the events each year. Orientation is one of the most planned and appre- ciated events sponsored by the Regis community and especially the Student Executive Board. Western Dance Cowboy hats and boots came out of the closets and all had a foot-stomp- ing, country swinging time at the Western Dance. The cafe took on the resemblence of a good old barn dance as the caller got everyone promen- ading their partners. Sophomore Woodsie Warm mountain weather, Volleyball, Frisbee and burgers and beer make for a wild mountain Woodsie time. This semi-annual event always gives for a great chance to enjoy the mountains. 2nd Annual Dorm Olympics The second annual dorm Olympics kicked off the school year and intramurals. O ' Connell Hall again took 1st place with DeSmet and West closely following. They competed in games such as the softball throw, egg toss, three-legged race, and the greased watermelon relay. Freshman Frolic The 1980 social calendar for Regis students started off with Fresh- man Frolic. Contrary to the title, this dance is not merely for the incoming freshmen, but for the entire school. This year ' s semi-for- mal affair was held at the luxurious Brown Palace Hotel in beauti- ful downtown Denver! Truly a fine way to kick off the semester!! Alpha Kappa Psi Boxing Night Oops, I forgot to duck. Students worked out for weeks preparing for AKY ' s Boxing Night. Kevin Murph Murphy ' s bout won the keg for the best fight. Maybe the ladies will give us a show next year. The Royal Lichtenstein l A Ring Sidewalk Circus performed September 22, in the quad. It included an expanded menagerie, and aerial act, jugglers, acrobats, magicians and clowns. There are over fifteen acts in the full hour performance. Under the direction of master-founder, Nick Weber, the circus, billed as the World ' s Smallest, has travelled annually for nine years cove ring forty states. The Royal Lichtenstein Circus Dazzles Regis Dance Marathon Tired and sore feet? Are you kidding?! The Dance Marathoners shuffled for 24 hours raising money for the March of Dimes. Spirits were high and music flowed into their hearts while loyal spectators joined in, keeping the enthusi- asm going. 1st Annual Frisbee Expo Regis College ' s First Annual Frisbee Festival was held in the quad Sunday, October 12th. The offices of Campus Activities and Student Senate spon- sored the day. Competition included accuracy and distance, freestyle and frisbee golf. The World Champion Free-style Frisbee Team, the Aces, exhib- ited skillfull mastery of the frisbee to kick off the day ' s events. Accompaning the competition was Travelin ' Shoes, a country-rock band. Organization Night We want you to join us! This is the theme as the organizations gather at the start of the year to introduce them- selves to the students. From Greek Land to Ski Club to Careers in Medi- cine, you ' re able to be involved in just about anything. , • Inaugural Ball 81 This year was held at the Cosmopoliton Hotel where couples danced to the sounds of a fifteen-piece orchestra. The dance celebrated victories for Kathy Herrfeldt, Mike Lingg, Karen Garcia, Tracey Wedepohl, Joey Gomes, Katie Coates, Vince Marino, and Mark Bauman. Ranger Week ' 80-81 Ranger Week, the ultimate for the Regis student, proved to be most memorable once again this school year. Entertainment included such ac- tivities as, Talent Night, Trivia Bowl, Intramural Softball Play-offs, movies, arm wrestling, men and women hair growing contests, Junior-Senior Prom, and Un-Prom. The ultimate day of the week was Ranger Day. The day be- gan with Mass and brunch, then the Frisbee Golf Tournament.

The day concluded with a cook-out and relaxing to the tunes of the Undergrass Boys. Talent Night, Along with John Biggs Trivia Bow] What was Beaver Cleaver ' s mother ' s real name? Where was Regis College originally lo- cated? Trivia was the main factor involved in the week ' s Trivia Bowl. Deb, bookstore, still proves to be the campus ' trivia master. Ranger Day Prom ' 80-81 Saturday, April 11, 1981 the Junior Senior Prom was held at the Executive Tower Inn, in the Grand Ballroom. The Junior Class spon- sored the evening by working throughout the year to raise money. Everyone danced the evening away to the sound of the Big Band Era .
