There is a lot to this city, a lot more than most students see in the four years there at RIT, Most people discover for the first time Genesee Beer, Nick Tahou's Garbage Plates, Zabs Hot Dogs, Buffalo Chicken Wings, Wegmans Supermarkets, Kodak everywhere, Marketplace Mall (supposedly the largest indoor mall in New York), Gelatos, Park Avenue, 747 and 2001, Freddies and Southtown, the Genessee Inn, Monroe County Airport and Red Creek. Although there are a lot of good things in Rochester, there are also things that people could do with out, snow, more snow, and even more snow, then rain, more rain, and even more rain, PeopleExpress, Genessee Beer, main street downtown, Midtown Mall, RTS, War Memorial, construction, and the Can of Worms , 4 Andrew Levy Andrew Levy 5 Henrietta Campus Andrew Levy Andrew levy 6 Andrew Levy 7 ■ — 9 They are not halls.'filled withp future, but. halls filled with do people make them come ai Atan EriQisn 12 Living At RIT Off campus living. So cool, so independent, learning to take care and fend for yourself. No more Grades food, hassles with your RA, or RSA’s patrolling your floor. No more roaches in the heaters or fire alarms at 4am. More space, more freedom from campus restrictions, and a great living atmosphere make life in the apartments the way to go. Congratulations, you've escaped the iron hand of RIT. Now all you have to worry about is your landlord. ■■nnv A yv English 13 d.miss)orj if you are someone who enjoys an occasional alcoholic beverage, your drinking habits may have changed when the legal drinking age in New York State was raised to 21 years of age. This change took place on December 1st, 1985, and along with this, some major campus-wide transformations have resulted. The Corner Store and the Cellar both abruptly halted their peddling of alcohol. The priviledge of a complimentary glass of wine from Grace Watson and Dining Commons during Special Dinners was revoked. Fraternity cash bars have all vanished and what is still left of fraternity parties are limited to only beer and wine. Alas, there is hope! With the Ritzskellar still open and with CAB still putting on a few P.O.E.T.S. Hours there is still a place to have a beer with your lunch or a glass of wine with a professor. Yet, those in the 21 and over crowd must still show 2 forms if ID and are limited to one drink for each purchase, Other injustices at alcoholic events include wearing an orange bracelet or having your hand stamped with permament ink which lasts for five days. Walking with your hand in your pocket prevents showing everyone that you have been partying all night instead of studying. To top it all off, if the weather is nice, you have the privilege of drinking in a fenced in cage, With the ever watching eye of various campus officials, most of fhe drinking occurs off campus. The apartments and the under,'Over bars are the most popular choices, which include Club 747, Idols, and 2001. Other local bars like the Red Creek still hold their weight, but have been forced fo cut back due to the law. If the system's got you down, cheer up! There are many alternatives, like the non-alcoholic events sponsored by CAB, OCSA, RHA and Greek Council, or one of 65 clubs and organizations that are on the RIT campus. Perhaps the frustration of the law makers at the number of DWI deaths has been unjustly put upon the under-21 crowd, but to live in harmony requires the cooperation of all in following the rules. What’s Your Number A Look at the Average RIT Student The average Rochester Institute of Technology student is a member of a 17,000 student body, who comes from one of every state in the USA or from one of another 59 countries, speaks one of 35 languages, practices one of over 16 religions on campus, is a member of one of 9 colleges, is between the age of 18-65, studies one of 248 majors, has classes in one of 126 buildings, tries to park one of the 12,000 registered cars in 1 of 10 parking lots, in I of 5000 parking spaces, is taught by one of 1500 professors, assisted by over 2500 staff members, guided by 18 major administrators, eats one of 10,100 meals served by food service each day, reads some of the 250,000 books in 4 libraries, has the option to live in 1 of 4 apartment complexes with over 960 apartments to choose from 17899 residence hall rooms, can participate in 13 Greek Houses. !8 Varsity Sports, and 55 clubs. Average? There is no such thing as an average RIT student Natalie Merd 18 More Sullivan ut ove In V Move-In is a project undertaken each year with the sole purpose of situating civilians into .an academic atmosphere. On September 3rd, over 1800 freshman students were subjected to this experience. The very first Move-In experience bestowed upon the eager subjects was a three hour wait of crawling traffic through RlT’s parking lots in the hot sun before the new students could even drop off their luggage. (Top that. People Express!) Additional highlights included lost luggage, saying good-bye to Mom and even more waiting. Relief was fell by the freshly processed student as he confidently strode towards his dorm. Surprise! The diligent student who put up with the stress and toil found himself rewarded with his very own room, complete with two other noisy, smelly and messy residents. Yet, after much negotiation, the new dormie was able to reserve a small corner for himself. No problem dude. Escape and Salvation is here! The key word here is PARTY, folks, and the wildest and craziest were to be had in the fall. Many find this to be essential to sustaining life, and the only way to preserve mental competence 20 ArcJrgx Levy The one thing even� ' fortunate RTF student has had the pleasure to experience is the 'RIT line”. The never ending saga of waiting in some sort of line begins with move-in and extends itself through graduation. Time has no bearing on the situation. From the moment you wake up to take a shower until it's time for breakfast at Grades you must lake time out to wait on line. When living in the apartments waiting for the RIT shuttle bus to pick you up at the CAU to bring you home from a long day of academics you must put up with a line. As wc all learn very early in our RIT experience long lines will always be a pari of RIT. ArdtiJtf Lavy 22 Andrew Lew Learning The Way This years orientation week began bright and early on September 3, 1985 with Move-In and for 3000 new RIT students it was a whole new experience.After the move-in process was complete it was good-bye mom and hello RIT. You were left on your own in an unfamiliar place with people you have never met and you were left to find your way around the RIT campus. It was time to go out and meet people and there were numerous fun filled activities planned by the Student Orientaliom Services (SOS) to help students meet people and to become familiar with the RIT campus.Some of the activities included get acquainted meetings, campus tours, ice cream extravaganza, a game of Simon Sez. and finally Sandblast T85 which was a good-bye summer and hello RIT beach bash. jay Crow Flair Fair DJ IT VJlTH ft viL l Mote Sullivan On September 21, R1T had its 3rd annual Flea Market and Fair (FLAIR). This was a very successful event which combined a traditional flea market with a festive fair. Vendors filled the G and H parking lots, selling various items including arts and crafts, woodcarving, glassware, clothing, plants and homemade baked goods. Other activities at FLAIR included (he Tiger Tank dunking booth in which both faculty and administrators were dunked, face painting, horseback riding and a refreshment stand Beth White, the chairperson of FLAIR, said that over Si,200 dollars was raised to benefit the Student Emergency Loan Fund. This is a project which was designed to provide students with interest free funds for emergency purposes. More Sullworr Marc Sullivan One small step for mankind can be a daring move. Over one hundred students and cadets took the day off from studying to fall off A buildings on October 12. As part of a confidence-building experience, the Army ROTC gave lessons in rapelling at the Rochester Fire Academy Building, located jji just a few miles south of RIT. The adventurers took turns going over the ® edge to the awaiting net 50 feet down. The P operation was supervised by Captain Hank Waters, the safety officer for the day. The ROTC provided buses from the College Union every half hour to allow people living Ein the residence halls and apartments a chance to participate in the exercise. A feeling of accomplishment was felt by the rape Hers who attended the event, as they L leapt off tall buildings in a single bound. This experience can be had by all dauntless students, since the Army ROTC offers this program every fall quarter. Marc Sullivan 25 FALLOUT 8 On Sept 28. 1985 the 8th annual Fallout landed in the Sol Heumann quad The event paved the way for a day of fun and cxicitement and gave many new freshman a chance to meet people from other floors and Residence Halls. It also gave the chance for floors to hold activities, like the RIT dunking booth, carnation sale, carnival booths and refreshment stands. All raised money for future floor projects. Contests ranged from a softball throw, volleyball tournament, wheelchair races, to the very popular air-band contest which gave every one who participated a chance to be in the lime light and to show off their talents, if the excitement was just a little to much for you a massage booth gave you a place to relax before The Undergrads took center stage for some real music. Starting early in the day Fallout 8 ended with a bon- fire and comedy show late into the evening, and plans for Fallout 9. 0wc SeU Students Rock Residence Quad All Day During Fallout 8 26 Hospitality Forum On October 2, the studenti, and faculty of the School of Food Hotel and Tourism Management held its Third Annual Hospitality Forum in the Fireside Lounge. The event has been designed to provide students and industry professionals a one-on-one opportunity to learn about each other. Students were able to make contacts for luture job placement. Through a very impressive table of food for exhibitors, the students were able to show what RIT has to offer in the industry. Companies, such as Marriott Hotels, The Ground Round, Red Lobster of America, Walt Disney World, W'endy’s International, Norwegian Cruise Lines and the local W'egmans were able to provide a broad view of the hospitality industry through the multitude of displays, brochures, films and slide shows. All who were involved were pleased with the success of the event and are looking forward to next year’s forum. Andf rt Levy Andrew levy 28 Marc Sullivan APARTHEID Rally Against South Africa October i 1 was ihe International Free South Africa’s Political Prisoners Day, This was an event which commemorated the thousands of political prisoners which are still being held in South African jails. Over 200 students rallied in front of the College Union to support the several speakers and their call for an end to the racial segregation in South Africa. A second plea was for a complete divestment of RIT's 88 million dollar investments in companies with ties to South African businesses. RIT students joined over 100 other colleges around the country to promote a greater awareness of the Apartheid situation. The rally was sponsored by the Students Against Apartheid, The Black Awareness Coordinating Committee, and The Latin America Solidarity Committee. The speakers present included Charles Moore and Reverend Flowers. Moore, a member of All Peoples Congress in Rochester and student of MCC, made the statement, “We need to become more involved in the issue of South Africa because their problems are not just problems of South Africa, they are everyone’s. Apartheid oppresses people throughout the world.” The rally added RIT to the growing list of colleges who have taken on the anti-Apartheid struggle. The rally lasted only one day, but the battle will continue until the issue is resolved. Marc Sullivan 29 Marc Sullivan More Sullivan HALLOWEEN The True Self Comes Out On All Hallows Eve There comes a time when each and every one of us have the opportunity to live out our innermost fantasies and create the most outrageous costumes we can possibly invent. R1T students were out on the prowl the Friday before Halloween at the Off Campus Student Association Halloween party at Racquet Club clubhouse. Halloween parties were plentiful during Halloween weekend both on campus and off campus. The hot spot this year was at the Genesee Inn where the Roaches Rugby Club held their Halloween bash. Everyone was welcome and costumes were shown off by many. Some of the more creative get-ups consisted of a subway wall. Gumby, and the seven dwarves. There were various contests to participate in, including the sexiest, the best, the worst, and the dumbest costumes. Halloween may come around only once a year, but many enthusiasts celebrated throughout the entire week. As Pew Richard once said, “Give a man drink and he will be wiser. Needless to say. many philosophies on the meaning of life were developed through the various mind stimulants used that week. AlxJncw LOW Andrew Lew tew 30 WET PAINT An invasion look place on one cool sunny Saturday in October. Over one hundred and forty students, faculty and staff descended upon the Seneca Park Zoo clad in work clothes and armed with brushes and buckets of paint. Their mission: to defeat the dreary park pool and transform it into a masterpiece of art. The battle plan was supplied by Julie Borden, a third year painting student, who designed a mural to adorn the Olympic-sized pool walls, Ms. Borden took the movement of the pool water into consideration when she designed the undersea world of aquatic animals and plant life. The operation was approved and directed by The Office of Community Services, and was one of the many community service projects in which R1T students can take part . In addition to painting the sides of the pool, the playground equipment was given a new coat of paint, and bulbs were planted in the play area. By the end of the day the battle was won. The hard day of work produced a beautiful mural which covered the pool, The diligent workers were rewarded with a free lunch and a tour of the neighboring zoo. 32 Camping Out for Tickets Who said there is no school spirit at RTF? There were plenty of Tiger fans who were more than willing to show true colors and enthusiasim for the R1T hockey team. On October 14 the R1T season hockey tickets’ were scheduled to go on sale and when these dedicated hockey enthusiasts got wind of the news they wanted to be first in line. On October 13 a line began to form outside of the RTF sports shop where the tickets were going to be sold and the students were more than prepared to campout over night to ensure that they got the best seat in the house Parents Weekend 1300 Parents are Re-United with their College Offspring Over 1300 parents attended '“Parents Weekend October 25ih-27th The parents had a full schedule that carted them off to academic and social activities. The informative activities were comprised of campus tours, academic forums, open houses and receptions. The parents received talks and demonstrations on deafness, computer integrated manufacturing and robotics, videodisc technology, biofeedback and Shakespeare, After a day of academics the pseudo-students got a chance to relax with others at spoiling events, concerts, movies and comedians in the Rite. The weekend concluded Sunday with a country breakfast at Grade's. The parents left their children once again, but this lime with knowledge and a better understanding of their offspring's new world here at RIT. Andrew Levy 35 Speakers This year several very prominent lecturers came to KIT to speak throughout the year.

W1TR and the School of Photographic Arts and Science held its annual Christmas Party in the Ritz. To put people in the right mood there was a lottery of presents to be handed out by Santa himself. Alpha Phi Omega was busy over the month of November and December collecting toys to help the Monroe County Foster Parents Council. They gave out 250 donated toys and threw a Christmas party for foster children. Many toys were donated by businesses and campus organization such as Student Directorate, Sigma Pi and Tau Kappa Epsilon. The American Marketing Association set their Santa in the lobby of the College Union for informal photos with the famous person himself. Also in the College Union was the School of American Craftman's annual holiday sale. For people needing good ideas for gifts this was the place to find them. 38 39 FOOD SERVICE When someone says “Food Service”, most people ihinlc of Grace Watson Dining Hall where more than 9,000 meals are served each day There is a lot more than this to RIT's Food Service. Operating 4 dining halls, a pizza parlor, a bar, a corner store, an ice cream parlor and a catering service, R1T Food Service is one of the largest employers of students on campus. Grace Watson and Dining Commons provide food serv ice for the students living in the residence halls on a meal plan type system. The Ritz serves the off-campus student providing piz ta, hamburger, sandwiches and the only bar on campus. The College Union Cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch for off-campus students and staff.

Nathaniels, new this year, provides pizza and ice cream. B. Nawcomb Buigc BLOOD DRIVE Every quarter hundreds of students flock to the Fireside Lounge for two days which are designated as days lor the giving of life. Nurses from the Red Cross confidently set up their beds and tables to make way for the students wishing to give up their blood. The nurses greet you. as you walk in the door to help you fill out the forms needed to donate blood. They are present not only to accept the donations of life’s sustenance, but to reassure the reluctant with a warm smile and cheerful disposition. As you wait for a free table many students catch up on their homework or read a book. Although the giving of blood only lakes a few minutes many students, faculty and staff give up their valuable time to do their part in the helping of mankind. Once the contribution is made, rest and munchics are provided to help rebuild their strength. The valiant knights have conquered their dragon and are sent on their way with a badge of courage saying, ”Be nice to me. 1 gave blood today! The brothers from Alpha Phi Omega, a service orgnization which sponsors the blood drive arc there as well to pass out information and thank the RIT students which gave more blood than all of the Kodak employees on their last blood drive. Slavs Lewandowsti 43 Operation Operation Red Rose- The kidnapping of Dr. Rose. Remember the day that those yellow flyers were distributed by . men in suits and in Reporter magazine? Did J you wonder what was going on? No one seemed to know if it was a joke or if it was , real That afternoon at 2:00 pm you heard thej story from Dr Rose himself as he spoke in ] front of the CU about the purpose of the activity. On February 3rd. a group of frustrated students stormed into an administrative meeting and forced Dr. Rose and the seven 1 vice presidents to listen to what they had to I sav The students expressed their discontent I with the actions of the administrators in dealing with the student body, and discussed I ways that the administration can improve iheitj relations with the student body. The group called themselves the Student Underground ' Network (SUN) and consisted of 15 students and 4 administrators. After the discussion with Dr. Rose, SUN kidnapped him and commandeered him off to the Holidomc for a long lunch and more discussions. The six areas SUN concentrated on needing of improvement consisted of communication between administration and the students. RIT ' appearance, personalization, facilities, community events, and support for student organizations, The kidnappers and Dr. Rose I then proceeded to inform the rest of the RIT 1 community about Operation Red Rose and all] that he hud encountered. Since then the original members have invited others to join the special Sunrise meetings. Now that SUN j has become public, the organization has changed its name to the Student Unified Network to allow more students to give their input and promote change. They have signified that they are aware of the problems at hand and they are ready to deal with them. Andrew Levy 44 Andrew Lew MofC.Sullivon 45 Comedy in the RITZ! MoThew Elman I have been to three or four comedian shows here at RIT in the last year, with the latest being a couple of weeks ago. 1 sat down to write about them and realized that I couldn’t remember a single joke that I heard, I mean, I remembered sort of what they were about, but I couldn't repeat them word for word I can remember sitting there and laughing at the jokes, some of them were pretty funny. But it must be something about sitting here try ing to think of at least one that makes me forget them alt It seems silly that I can remember physics constants and chemical symbols, but when it comes to something that 1 really enjoy,. I draw a blank. Each new comic show that has come to RIT has been a relief. They let you take a moment out of your life and really laugh. Even at times when you may not be doing so well in your classes, and it doesn’t seem like you have enough money to buy the things you want to. you can sit back and be entertained. You can just sit there and laugh. It is such a relief. Granted, not all of the jokes make you fall off your chair in peals of laughter, but hey, that is a part of life. It is those that really hit home that seem to be the funniest, the ones that make you realize that you’re not alone in the world. Everyone else does stupid things too. Those are the ones that make the whole thing worth while, I guess [’ll just continue sitting here and try to think of one joke, while you continue looking at your yearbook. If you can think of any. and remember them a week later, maybe you should work for Techmiia. 46 Matthew £lrr an Mcrttoew Elmar 47 PIZZA DELIVERY Ill’s 12:31) at night and that familiar pang ol hunger hits you. Do I have the money, you ask yourself, as you convince yourself that the three month late phone hill is irrelevant. Pizza is the major cure for the late-night cravings, and with the abundance of parlors, can be ordered until the early morning hours. The delivery boys can be seen in the halls and parking lots as they convey their sizzling cargo. These saviors of the night run back and forth to RIT several times to satisfy many a student's indulgent desires. RIT is lucky to be large enough to cause price wars between rivalling parlors. When you and a few friends decide to order that large pizza with extra cheese, onions, mushrooms, peppers (and most important) pepperoni, you’re bound to hear, Where are we going to order from?” With so many different pizza places you are able to get some great thick, thin, deep dish, round, square. Ircsh, frozen, undercooked, burnt, expensive, cheap and greasy pizza without ever having to leave the room. Many places offer freebies when you order, such as free toppings, liters of soda and, best of all, Free Delivery''. Some guarantee that ihe pizza will be delivered in 40 minutes or less or the pizza is free, but by that time it's cold and not very' appetizing. With so many variables, choosing your style of pic can be a confusing task. As the knights of old said. Practice makes perfect” — a saying which, in this case, many are glad to follow B Bad 48 As Many Find, Who Are Newcomers To The Upstate New York Area, Buffalo Style Wings Are Irresistible No Matter How HOT! Wing Eating On those special evenings when one feels adventurous it is lime for Buffalo Style Chicken Wings. The name coming from the town where wings made their first appearance and gained fame in the Upstate New York area. Here at R1T wings seem to fit in nicely and make up a meal or midnight snack for students. When it comes to eating wings there is no clean way of consuming them so its is best not to wear your interview suit or Sunday best. Be sure that there are plenty of napkins to wipe your hands and don't worry about the sauce around your mouth because the person next to you looks the same if they are eating wings writh you. Really the only wing-eating rule is, if you are on a first date and don't want to look like a slob until you get to know' them a little better, don't order wings. Whether your dinner is wings or you have entered a contest to see who can eat the HOTTEST wings, you have to enjoy them because only the best wings can be bought in the Rochester Buffalo area; and after your stay at R1T you might not gel the change to eat them again for a long time. Las Vegas and Alaniic City watch out! The 3rd Annual RHA Vegas Night brought out some of the better gamblers to the Rochester Institute of Technology campus. On January 25th. the College Union Cafeteria was transformed into a casino complete with a non-alcoholic fruit bar and loaded with millions of dollars of play money. Each person was given $10,000 of “dough” to try their luck at the gaming tables. Blackjack was the most popular table with the highest stakes, but there was also roulette, craps and dice tables to try your luck at. There were even several unofficial poker games going on in the comers. For those who were able to restrain from gambling and hold on to their bills was the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for prizes donated to RHA. The major prizes were a video arcade game, a color TV and a waterbed. For those not interested in gambling or who lost their shirt early in the evening, there was a sleight-of-hand card shark who demonstrated the risk of “crooked” gambling and that it is impossible to beat the ‘Three card Monty”, A horse race on film also won prizes for those who had bet on the number six horse. The night turned out to be fun for all. there were no losers. Vegas Night 50 51 Health Service 52 53 Poet’s Hour (Put Off Everything ’Til Sunday) ftjr-k Bps' 54 WINTER YEAR OF 56 WEEKEND ' now fell just in time for this year’s Winter Weekend, a festival held From February 5th to the 9th. Winter Weekend was designed to relieve the boredom of Rochester winters, . and included both indoor and outdoor activities. A broomball tournament, sold-out hockey game, post game dance, comedy show POETS hour, NTID Theatre, and the celebration of the Chinese New Year highlighted the weekend. The broomball competition was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega and involved over 30 teams. A professional touring team-from Libya showed R1T how to play the game as they took the tournament. In hockey, the Tigers defeated Cortland in an exciting bout. The post-game dance featured Nik and the Nice Guys in the CU. NTID theatre featured “An Evening of Short Plays for the culturally oriented, and the “Year of the Tiger Chinese opera. Lion Dance, and Chinese food in the CU cafeteria. The arrival of snow on Saturday gave students a chance to tour the campus on a sleigh ride. The weekend was a much needed change from the usual dull, gray and lifeless Rochester winter. Winter Weekend brought the campus out of its deep sleep to realize that Rochester winters have potential, and aren’t so bad after all.________________________________________________ THE TIGER ....And The Music Played On. N ineteen Eighty-five was not a year of huge musical performances filling (he main gym or (he Monroe County Dome Arena. It was low key compared lo previous years. Many local musicians filled (he ears of RIT students during the year. The year started with a bang while Reporter rocked incoming freshman during oriental ion. The first major concert planned for RIT was the Kinks at the Dome Arena in early September. Although it was to be a sold out show, the College Activities Board was forced to give out hundreds of tree tickets to students on campus to pack the arena. CAB took a major loss in sponsoring this show but rebounded quickly during tall quarter with several Rochester bands performing at P OTT S (Pul Off Education Till Sunday) Hour. Robyn Fear, Adult Western, Perfect Stranger and (he Resisters showed (heir stuff in (he Ritz. Cabo Frio electrified hundreds w ith their high energy show in (he College Union Cafeteria, Nik and the Nice Guys performed during Homecoming Weekend and several limes during winter quarter at After the Hockey Game parties in the Ritz and College Union. Winter quarter also brought OCSA Coffee House on Tuesday afternoons with some mellow music to wind down to. Febuary 3rd, 10 TV screens lit up the CU when the Chevrolet Video Dance Party hit the RIT campus with a large assortment of videos and record giveaways. A few days later Winter Weekend took storm with Split Decision at P.O.E.T.S. Hour and Nik and the Nice Guys on Friday night. Saturday the campus was ringing to the sound of Oriental music when (he Chinese Student Society celebrated the Chinese New Year. Valentine’s Day featured the Red Rose Semi-Formal'’ with Todd Hobin and the Heat performing in the College Union Cafeteria which had been impressively decorated for the occasion. The Ray tel Visual Music Festival laser light show followed the next day in Ingle Auditorium. As people came back from Spring Break, the OCSA Black Light party was held to raise money for campus lighting. Renaissance and Perfect Stranger played for all at this hopping party. As the weather became a little nicer and the days longer P O ET S. Hour moved outside. Cabo Frio played while students took rides in a hot air balloon, Spring Weekend came along with a concert out behind Grace Watson’s with four bands playing in a show called “The Concert That Never Happened . As the year came to a close the final weekend of partying gave us Farewell to RIT with Cabo Frio, Although RIT did not attract any big name performers, the community was able to enjoy many diverse live musical attractions during the school year right here on campus. Even with all this there were still some wrho ventured into Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and even Toronto to get their share of music. 59 Pep Rally On November 7. RIT students let their spirits show at the sports pep rally in Grace Watson Hall. Although the rainy weather chased the students inside it didn't dampen their enthusiasm. Cheering and whistling as the sports teams were introduced the crowd wished the Men’s Soccer. Cross Country' and Volleyball teams good luck at their respective NCAA championships to follow in the next few days. The crowd also got a pre-season look at the Tiger Hockey team whose opener was the next day. The athletes, students and staff as well danced the night away with the sounds of Perfect Stranger. Overall the event was successful in allowing RIT students and faculty a chance to communicate with the athletic department as well as giving the athletes the student support that will push them to be true champions. Mictioe! Hardv 60 Wildfire Students Play Roll-Playing Game To Stop A Nuclear War Imagine a day in the near future. The emergency broadcast channels crackle over the air with a message informing you that your country' is being invaded by a fleet of nuclear warheads. You have precisely two minutes to live. On April 8th, the RIT Community for Nuclear Awareness and the Rochester Vietnam veterans hosted a program designed to avoid the above situation. A simulation entitled WILDFIRE designated groups of participants as countries to explore diplomatic strategies. A representative from the Roosevelt Center for American Policy Studies, based in Washington. D.C.. guided the program and led a discussion about its results. The RIT Community for Nuclear Awareness has organized several such activities with the goal of educating and changing the perspectives of people concerned with the world’s ever present arms race. Proper information of this kind is essential for the election of candidates who w ill have the influence to change the race These activities are indispensable for gaining an understanding of the present and a hope for the future of humanity. i «kviHvno suai Andrew Levy 61 VYAv v 200 UNITS This phrase is all too familiar to those of us who have had our peace disturbed while in class, the library or at dinner- Yes. 1 speak of that obnoxious high pitched squeal that shoots up the spine of anyone in its vicinity, including the ambulance crew member who rushes off in a blinding streak of orange. The R1T Ambulance is a subdivision of the Student Health Sendee, and is a totally volunteer operation. It is a student organized emergency medical service which serves the entire R1T and NTID community, The ambulance and its crew arc equipped for any type of emergency, and are in service 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Each of the members are required to have at least CPR certification However, a good majority are certified Emergency Medical Technicians by New York State. Since the ambulance service is on-call 24 hours a day, it makes many demands upon its members. Missed meals and sleepless nights spent in the name of duty are only a Few sacrifices the crew members willingly make. This is all because they each possess an insatiable desire to help someone in a time of need. Thus, that high pitched squeal should not be regarded as an annoyance, but welcomed as a reassurance of our personal safety. 62 RESPOND TO HE AUNG IN PROGRESS 63 Students wailed eagerly for the distribution of the April 25 issue of the Reporter magazine because on page 25 was phase I of the Great Hunt, which consisted of 20 fact finding questions. As students waited for phase 1 to begin, some decided to group together and began plotting and scheming in order to increase their chances of winning the game. As groups read the questions to phase I they scrambled around looking for someone or something that may have an answer to one of the 20 quesstions. In pha.se I each question had a point value assigned to it and once you had earned 100 points you were allowed to pass on to phase II of the Great Hunt. Hunt they did because phase II was a scavenger hunt. After the groups scavenged the RIT campus or any where else they needed to in order to find the items, they were permitted to go on to phase 111 where each group had to get 20 signatures on an egg. form a circle and do the monkey walk, and make a pyramid. If your group planned, plotted, and schemed correctly and was the first to complete all three phases they won the grand prize of S500. Half of the prize was given to a charity and the other half of it was divided among the group members. The Great Hunt Andrew Levy i isjun Ar w L� y 65 Love Day 1986 100 Kids Spend the Day With RIT Students in a Day of Fun, Andrew le y Alevy Febuary 13, 1986 marked the second annual “Love Day, a day of learning, sharing and caring for RIT students and kids from the File School in Rochester. As a hundred elementary school children marched in to the Fireside Lounge, the awaiting RIT students took their post under numbered signs to greet the kids Each had a numbered card which allowed them to participate in activities such as juggling, carving soap sculptures, fingerpainting, touring the TV studio, cartoon drawing, visting the red bam and playing new games in the middle of the lounge. Kids made their way to all corners of the RIT campus and to those students on their way to class that didn't know what was going on it seemed that RIT was being invaded by little people. Students from the RIT Fraternities and Sororities, CAB, OCSA, Student Directorate. Techmila and Alpha Phi Omega along with about forty others took time off from their busy schedule to help the kids feel at home and show them a good time. By the end of the afternoon the kids and their new found college buddies made their way back to the Fireside Lounge for punch and cookies. They also were able to make a souvenir tee-shirt commemorating the event. The highlight of the day came when WOKR TV 10 showed up to put all (or as many that bugged the cameraman) of their faces on the 6 o'clock news. As the day came to a close it became evident that the kids didn't want to leave with the busses but wrould rather stay here at RIT In the end they all made it on the busses, with promises that they would be back next year to partake in another of Love Day’s festivities. 66 67 Greek Week During the last official week of winter, the Greek community participated in a week-long carnival entitled Greek Week. The event was designed to show' that Greeks can organize a good time without alcohol. Many events were sponsored during the wfeek, some of which included a toga marathon, a Tug-of- War over a pit of mud, a keg toss, and a barbecue for all. Later on, the houses put on skits to induce creativity and laughter. A Sing-a- Long around the sundial brought cries from independents, but the event was registered and totally legitimate. Greek Week went out in style with the traditional Greek Banquet. Many Greeks attended as well as RIT administrators. The focus of the even- ing was the RIT Greeks, and their contributions to RIT, the community, and their self-betterment. Dr. Preston Herring, director of Residence life, commented on the Greeks' invaluable contributions to student life on campus. SdJMSSong Spring Winter quarter seemed to have gone by extremely slow and it seemed as if time had stopped when the work began to really pile up and winter was at its coldest point. As it got closer to Feb. 28 everyone’s anticipation grew as they thought of their Spring break and being away from the pressures of RIT. With fewer parties to go to and many students being mellow and laid back, it seemed as if the campus went into hibernation. At last exams were over and it was time for break. Students took to the highways in all directions and for many of the RIT sun bathers it was off to the sun belt areas. There were two fun filled spring break specials offered at RIT this year and both were in the sunniest and warmest places imaginable. One of the trips, sponsored by CAB, was to sunny Ft. Lauderdale and the other, offered through the RIT Rugby team, was a one shot package deal to the Bahamas. Spring break was a time to let your hair down, go wild Break and let the real you shine and there was not a moment to waste. While down in the Bahamas there were different beaches to choose from, but no matter what beach you were at. once your toes were in the hot sand nothing else mattered. Spring break was one entire non-stop party and it didn’t matter what day it was until it was time to go. If you were not at the beach getting a tan, swimming, meeting people, or sailing, you were probably shopping, sight-seeing on an all-you-can-drink-and-eat party cruise or gambling at one of the local casinos. Those 10 precious days away from RIT seemed to have passed quickly and it was time to go back to Rochester for more cold snowy days. As students returned to campus the memories of their vacations warmed their hearts as they reminisced with others about their time away from the pressures of RIT. No matter where you went for Spring break it was sure to be a great time because you were away from the homework, quizzes, and tests. 70 71 SPRING WEEKEND The weather was great, the sun was shining, and the campus was bursting with energy. It was all anyone would want for an exciting weekend in Rochester but, the R1T campus had a lot more to offer because it was Spring Weekend, and there was not a moment to waste. It was this weekend which gave students the perfect excuse to once again pack up their books and head out and have some fun. One of the major events of the weekend was “Hands Across RIT”, which joined the R1T community, hand in hand, from the Mobius Loop in the Engineering Quad past the Union and across the quarter mile alt to raise money to benefit America's homeless. Also in the Union circle was a huge balloon sculpture that surrounded the front of the building which was released during Hands Across RIT Next to the gym was a local graffiti master named Change, who demonstrated his talents to all by painting the outside of his home, which happens to be a School bus. While Change was outside showing off his work, students, faculty, and alumni from the School of American Craftsman. College of Fine and Applied Arts, College of Graphic Arts and Photography were inside showing off their talents in a craft show and sale. For the all night paitier there was “Briekstoek - The Concert that Never Happened , where four bands that imitated other bands to suit almost all the tastes on the RIT campus. To top the evening off was an impressive fireworks display seen from almost everywhere on the RIT campus. Saturday continued the celebration for everyone, and the Baker-Col by-Gleason government got in on the action by sponsoring “Spring Fling to continue the weekend celebration. There was an olypmic type competion, carnival booths, and the band Perfect Stranger to help everyone along in the fun. not that RIT students need help in having fun The highlight of Spring Fling was the outdoor movies which gave everyone the feeling of being at the drivc-in theatre. All you needed was a blanket, some munchies, and a date and you were set for a good time. If all these activities didn’t tire you out Sunday there was still Sunday when the first annual Tiger Trot race around campus, go-cart races on the quarter mile, a picnic with relay races, outdoor games, contests and much more took place to end the weekend. All in all Spring Weekend was a great success and it gave RIT students a weekend that they won't forget. 74 75 Hands Ac The R1T community wanted to make their own contribui ion to Hands Across America so they decided to have their own version of it here on campus. The event was titled Hands Across R1T. The preparations took weeks of hard work and planning and it finally came together on May 9 to kick off Spring Weekend. Volunteers worked all day inflating balloons for the balloon sculpture, which look 1500 balloons alone.and also for each individual who participated in the event. All the balloons were scheduled to be released when the human chain, which began at the Union circle, extended to the end of the quarter mile. Although the chain fell a little short of the set goal, it was not interpreted as a failure because the RfT community raised $1500 for America s hungry. Just looking at all the people in the chain gave everyone goose bumps and made many of us proud to be a part of R1T. This event was truly one of the most unselfish acts that R1T as a whole has ever done and was a great way to begin Spring Weekend. S 6 wf 76 77 Students flocked to happy hour because this was not just any happy hour, it was an uplifting happy hour. What was so uplifting about this happy hour you ask? Well, it you were not mentally lifted by the sounds of Cabo Frio or the people who attended this special happy hour, then you could have been physically lifted by the hot air balloon that was the special attraction of the afternoon. CAB hired a professional lisensed balloonist to come onto campus to give students tether rides behind the library. The balloonist kept testing the winds to make sure things were safe enough to bring unexperienced riders aboard. Finally everything clicked and it was time to bring passengers aboard. The balloon went as high as the third floor of the library, just enough to wave to those on the third floor who had their noses pressed to the window to see what was going on, and then il was back to earth. Even though the ride was not what we expected it was well worth the wail to feel that floating sensation and to experience flight in a hot air balloon. Happy Hour 78 79 FAREWELL Rain kept some RIT students away from Phi Sigma Kappa s Farewell to RIT charity carnival but the true RIT panicrs were out and ready for some fun before finals. Phi Sig planned lots of activities that made the last major party on campus a memorable one. All the proceeds were donated to the Strong Memorial Outpatient Fund and this year Phi Sig's donat ion was one to be proud of because they had raised more money than they had the previous year. Because of some rain prior to the carnival some of the events were postponed to the following day but all was not lost because the dunking booth, the tug of war, the food and drinks were all set up and ready to go. The following day most of the major events took place out behind Graeies where there was enough room for the Tuff Enough games for the tuff guys on campus. There was also an egg toss, pizza and pudding eating contests, and also a pie auction where the highest bidder had the chance to throw the pie at any of the Greek women or the editor-in-chief of the Reporter magazine. Winners of all the contests received prizes which were donated bv several local businesses. Phi Sigma Kappa and the rest of the RIT community showed that they really do care about the Rochester community and the best pan of it was that everyone had fun while contributing to a worthy cause. rJ 80 81 Studying Buck «t 82 Buck Best Working Buck Besl KerS0r| | 'dente .r,Jurf Alcohol m. “fw wifc Sws U� W ‘ K«v 6mor li ' • f-c: ‘ ■ ISC fa SMsC lfh£. n Buck Besl Buck Besl 83 GRADUATION 3500 Students Graduate in Six RIT Ceremonies ay 24 marked the end of many students college careers. After four or five long years the senior grads of RIT finally got the chance to march up on center stage in either the ice rink or main gym. As their name was read aloud to friends, family and faculty the grads felt proud of their accomplishment here at RIT. For some the ceremonies started at 8:30 in the morning while others had to watch their friends graduate until their time at 11:30 or 2:OOpm. Before all could happen the seniors had to meet with their college for the march in. It was there that the biggest task of the day happened; putting all 3,700 seniors in alphabetical order Over walkie-talkie they got the “ok” to start the march. The procession made their way to the arena dressed in the traditional garb. It didn't take long for for the celebration to start as many popped the cork on bottles of champagne even before all had marched in. As the students sat down it became aware that there were messages written on the backs of the caps. There was the traditional “Thanks Mom and “1 Did It to one group of 16 students from the printing school that wrote Quick Dirty And Proud in big yellow letters. The excitement built and climaxed when all were told that their degrees were official and the diploma was in the mail. It was then that the second hardest task took place; finding your parents in the sea of madness in the College Union Circle After the the ceremonies ended, the parties started and lasted through Monday morning when the jobless had to start to find a job. An p lew 84 86 Once in a lifetime people get to act out their fantasies in front of the camera. Twice this year the Techmila cameras were out to allow people to shoot themselves. Only the truly photogenic were brave enough to pose and express themselves as they really are. Halloween was the setting for the Fall where people shot themselves dressed in costume. The Spring shoot was close to the end of the quarter when people were itching to go home and shooting themselves provided a way to let loose some aggressions. Shoot Yourself gave the chance for those book hermits to be included in the yearbook without ever going to a campus event or attending a sporting event. 86 87 88 mini 89 90 Soccer The Rochester Institute of Technology men’s soccer team ended its 1985 season sooner than anticipated loosing to Fredonia (2-1 in overtime) in First round action of the NCAA Division ID playoffs at home last November.

RIT’s 151 Floor Wars To the casual observer, the residence halls may be looked upon as mere living and sleeping quarters. The residents, however, have a very different outlook upon their dwelling sites. As dusk approaches, the halls transform themselves into a battleground upon which academic and social frustrations may be vented. Typical weaponry includes bottles of shaving cream, water balloons made of various accessories, and anything else that w ill mark the opponent before he can hit the showers. Fain is not the goal in most w?ars, since most opponents are friends from the next floor. However, pain can be a factor when the battlefield becomes ice. and the target is a little round ball on hard and slipperyr turf. With all things considered, floor wrars cause little damage and can be a great escape from RJT’s pressures. For the meek who choose not to participate, there always exists the looney bin. 152 Computer Science House Front row (k): Adam Stein. Bob Armstrong. Mike Faraoni, Timothy Waltz, Craig Ratty.
