All freshmen were invited to spend the weekend in the dorms. The freshmen, their parents and all their gear were greeted by the Lifesavers. After they moved in, a reception and picnic dinner were held in the Social Hall and the Quad. After the fam- ilies left, freshmen and lifesavers enjoyed an evening of getting to know each other and other fun. This was concluded with a candle-light prayer service in the chapel. On Monday night, after their adminis- trative duties were taken care of during the day, many of the freshmen journeyed to Chicago to enjoy the Kool Jazz Festival. They returned from the musical fun to a Goopey Board which consisted of mak- ing their own ice cream sundaes and floats. By Tuesday afternoon the commuter fresh- men had returned to their homes and the residents were settled in their dorm rooms. They had made the first of many new friends and were ready for Wednesday morning classes to begin. Lifesavers begin moving the new arrivals in.

Since then it has offered students the ad- vantage of living and learning in one of the most exciting cities in the world. The program runs from early September until approximately the middle of December. The academic program is a careful bal- ance of a British Life and Culture course for eight credits, and a study project, ordinarily done in the students major field of interest, which is done inde- pendently or under the direction of a British tutor. The British Life and Culture course covers impor- tant trends in the history, art, and literature of Bri- tian, and includes guest lectures, guided visits of the city, and study trips. The course begins with a study tour of Great Britain guided by the Rosary director. In addition students keep a journal with entries of contact with British life and culture. The following students studied in London this year: Pam Brodl, Hansi Camp, Loredana Capozzi, Kevin Davis, Tom Dee, Ann Feeney, Joyce Fong, Scott Grunow, Kevin Hogan, Debby Lane, Cathy Malone, John McKay, Cathy Vitale, and Jackie No- cels. Their director was Sr. Clemente Davlin. 22 Activities A part of all the excitement found in London. The 1982 Londoners smile for a photo. THINK WEEK During the week of January 24 to January 28 there were What Do You Think group sessions where the faculty, commuters, residents, and staff were able to express their ideas and opinions on certain happenings going on around Rosary Col- lege. Some of the things discussed were classes, M.B.A. programs, Library Science, Career nights, and student activities. There were trained facilitators to start off the discussions. Everyone gave their ideas for how Ro- sary can improve and what is fir° but can be devel- oped a little further. For instance, some of the peo- ple were talking about how they would like to see a Doctorate Program in the Health Care System and in Public Administration. They also said the Li- brary Science Program here at Rosary is extremely well developed. The facilitators at these group sessions combined all the information and sent it to the Dean of Stu- dents office. We feel that out of this work is the start of a planning process for the future which will improve Rosary's atmosphere as a whole college and not affect just a handful of people. 24 Activities VALENTINE'S DAY On Friday, February 11, the Housing Of- fice sponsored a Valentine's dance, open to the Rosary community.

Activities 31 CANDLE AND ROSE The Candle and Rose Ceremony took place on Friday, May 6, at 8:00 p.m. The ceremony has been an honored tradition for fifth-five years, even though the de- tails have changed throughout the years, the essential procession remains the same. Each underclassman partner pre- sents a rose to their Senior as a living symbol of their knowledge that the sen- iors take with them when leaving Rosa- ry. Each Senior presents a lighted candle to their partner as a symbol of the lamp of learning. The candles continue to burn through the recessional, illuminat- ing the faces of those present. This is a touching ceremony, with a special mean- ing that will be long remembered. The Senior's partners proceed with roses.

Sr. Jean Murray conferred the Bachelor of Arts Degrees; Norman Carroll con- ferred degrees in the Graduate School of Business; Tze-chung Li conferred degrees in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science; and Sis- ter Marie Grant conferred degrees in the Graduate School of Special Science.

TORCH I Torch members talk with visiting students. Mike talks to a high schooler about Rosary. The name Torch is symbolic to the Domi- nican ministry and dates back to the 13th cen- tury. The word stems from a dream the moth- er of St. Dominic had while carrying him in which a dog carried a burning torch in its mouth, lighting the way for the word of truth. The symbolism is carried over to the current Torch group at Rosary. These students spread the word about Rosary College by volunteer- ing their time and effort to the Admissions Office in various ways. Their purpose is to help inform high school students about Rosa- ry from a student's perspective; this is accom- plished through telephone calls, campus tours, and hosting overnight guests. The following served as members of Torch: Cheryl Bristor, Carolyn Brown, Carolyn Bry- an, Marina Caballero, Rachelle Donaldson, Carmella Fuoco, Kasha Gajda, Fred Gamble, Maureen Gisch, Holly Goetz, Michael Iring, Lynne Koenig, Karen Kulawiak, Brian Leahy, Pam Leak, Megan Murphy, Desiree Parsons, Jenny Patricelli, Esko Peterson, Anne Post, Eloin Rodriguez, Mona Vyas, Liz Syvertsen, Debbie Willas, Truesilla Williams, Stephanie Worley, Chris Woznicki. Jackie Behnke and Lisa Chmela served as adjunct volunteers. Over lunch, Liz talks to a student interested in Rosary. Torch members gather for a meeting with Admis- sions.

At times J didn't know if the 1982-83 yearbook would make it. Jt seems there has been one conflict and difficulty after another; many problems no one will know or ever realize. However, due to the special efforts of many terrific people, this book has been possible. the highest credit has to go to my fantastic staff. Qina Mria, Rose Anna Burton, Cisa Chmela, tfohn Estrada, and Eddie Tilippini J think our minds were set from the beginning. We have learned to rise above anything with determination to put out a yearbook, the first one since 1979. We have been under incredible pressure. Zhe deadlines always came too fast and everything else came too late. We did it though, after spending long days muddling through photos, slaving over layouts and pounding at the typewriter. All J can say is you guys are the best. J special thanks to Eddie for all your time and die-hard dedication. Zhanks goes to the photographers for all their work in capturing the memories in photos-. Mike Carrier, Eddie Tilippini. Karen Koch, and Ursula Cuzon. My chief photographer, Karen, deserves a standing ovation. J could never have made it through this yearbook without her. She has shared my strong determination to do whatever it takes to get this yearbook out. Zhanks for helping me through the darkness, when J never thought there would be sunshine, you have been an excellent worker, but more a special friend. Another big thanks goes to Qene Wtjnn for getting us started and giving us support. Me deserves credit for putting together our darkroom, taking pictures, and working on the ads. Zhank you to Sister fludy who has always been there, ready to listen and ready to help. J can't express my gratitude for all her assistance and willingness to help. Her secretary, Camille Stebert has also been a big help. Another big thanks goes to Cou in the mailroom, and Pat in the Printing room for all their special help.
