With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world ' s great cities, And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire ' s glory: One man with a dream, at pleasure, Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song ' s measure Can trample an empire down We, in the ages lying, In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineveh with our mirth; And Babel itself with our mirth; And O ' erthrew them with prophesying To the old of the new world ' s worth; For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth . . . Arthur O ' Shaughnessy The growth of a human being is a dynamic symphony of forces playing in this field of force that is ourselves. We have not become aware of the possibility of arranging the entire human enviroment as a work of art, as a teaching machine designed to maximize perception and to make everyday learning a process of discovery. Marsall McLuhan 1 We cannot be given understanding. We can be rightly presented with proper material for understanding. 6 8 The joy of living to the beat of human life and not to the rhythm enforced by the time-keeper. Simone Weil I rose this morning early to get betimes in Boston town; Here ' s a good place at the corner. . . I must stand and see the show. Walt Whitman from Boston Ballad 11 ...■ ' .■■■ ' .■■ ■■ - ■■ -v Every woman who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from her teachers; the second, more personal and important, from herself. Edward Gibbon 12 13 Let me go forth and share The overflowing sun With one wise friend, or one Better than wise, being fair, Where the pewit wheels and dips On heights of bracken and ling, And Earth unto her leaflet tips, Tingles with the Spring. Sir William Watson 14 Lord Brougham 1828 in a speech to the House of Commons 15 With her calm, aspiring eyes She doth tempt the earth to rise, With humility over all, She doth tempt the sky to fall. In her place she still doth stand A pattern unto the firm land While revolving spheres come round To embrace her stable ground. «i2P j| ,mr- .

Sixty-seven seniors make up what is called the Evans Democratic Community. We, as a community, created and maintained our own rules and pol- icies, separate from the rest of the campus. Our Monday night meetings consisted of determining what was fair and just for everyone in the community. We set standards for a president-of-the-month to interact with the academic campus; and we designated members to serve terms on a fairness committee. Our topics ranged from those of discussing social events to setting an attendance policy. Some meetings were frustrating as the sixty- seven strong personalities deliberated; other meetings were un- productive; at times we felt as though we were thrown against a brick wall — but each time we gathered, it was a step to a tightly-knit community. To the members of EDC, may we look back on Evans and see more than the constructs of a building, more than a broken elevator, or lack of a bell-desk receptionist. I trust we will also feel a bonding of sixty-seven women who grew both as individuals and as a group. May we always feel the love and support and commitment dis- played to our fellow women during the most volatile time of our col- lege career — SENIOR YEAR! 54 %.-;-i ] . 55 1 Simmons Hall is the largest dormitory on campus, but that doesn ' t keep its residents from feeling a sense of unity! Every floor is a close-knit community and this friendliness exists between different floors as well. Simmons Hall has enjoyed many activities this year, including a Dating Game, tie-dye parties, bagel brunches, holiday parties, movie nights, socials with fraternities, and an end of the year beach party. 56 YOU make MESICK, claim members of Mesick Hall here at Simmons. From Ohio to Pakistan, from Simmons Cup food fights to tie dyeing, from jellybean winners to great gourmet cooks, we all feel a tremendous sense of unity, living together in our home away from home. And WE make MESICK great! 57 Hi! 58 DIX HALL Even though Dix Hallers have had to endure the 4 AM fire drills, too little or too much heat, and a broken candy machine now and then, we were all able to have another successful year at Simmons. We had some great teas, trips to the circus and ballet, the Win- ter Enchantment Ball, angel sisters, secret spooks, and our annual year end barbecue. To the residents, Dix Hall is more than a place to live for several months out of the year — it is our home away from home. We have worked hard to make this dorm a community in which residents feel happy and are comfortable to live in. 59 SMITH HALL t AWu V The atmosphere of Smith Hall is best symbolized by the brightly colored walls. Smith is the second largest dorm on campus. In addition to housing nearly one hundred and forty women, Smith houses Quadside Cafe, an exercise room and a computer room. Despite the diverse groups of people, Smith promotes a feeling of togetherness. Enthusiastic students par- ticipate in activities such as color wars, the roommate game, the dating game (with fellow fraternities), barbecues, secret spooks, secret santa, movie night and spe- cial parties. Smith has captured the true sense of Simmons spirit! 60 Arnold Hall saw quite a bit of activity this year. As always, freshman initiation was a big success and a lot of fun. There was a Bugs Bunny brunch and several movie nights. Arnold hosted the most people for an admissions weekend and ended up winning a pizza party from SAVVY. Around the hol- idays, a tree was decorated, angel sisters went off with a bang and the Grinch and What a Wonderful Life were hauled out. On the cultural side, quite a few people went to the Moscow Ballet and the Vienna Boys ' Choir. To round out the year, Arnold hosted an incredibly successful party in Alumnae. With the hall filled to capacity and a line of people flowing out onto Brookline, Arnold realized it had one huge party on its hands. Not to be forgotten, in the wake of the party, is the annual Arnold tea, where everyone in the hall is recognized. As usual, Arnold had one spirited year, and it is expected that that spirit will carry over into 1989-90. President and Friends 61 SOUTH HALL We ' re the oldest dorm and still very tradi- tional. We ' ve established an annual formal tea. Inner dorm activities include: holiday parties, monthly movie and floor snacks, the roommate game, the ugliest RA con- test, lingerie parties and dorm dinners. Our motto: There is always something cooking at South. We hate apathy and consider our- selves a classy, charitable and caring dorm. Besides, we survived the Sports Center construction. 62 NORTH HALL North Hall is a cozy, friendly hall with lots of nice people and exception- ally nice freshwomen. Things we ' ll never forget this year are: — Great teas on Friday — The construction! — The holiday party Good luck to all the graduating seniors! 63 RESIDENCE STAFF . • y (L to R) Mary Malloy, Director of Residence; Ken Tashjy, Associate Director of Residence; Maureen O ' Neil, Assistant Director of Residence 64 Residence Staff S- ' :.

Less tangible, but most significantly, is the hope that the Sports and Fitness Center will improve the quality of life at Simmons through enhanced programming on many fronts as well as being a place that will cen- tralize the feeling of community. 84 Sports Center HISTORY OF SPORTS CENTER PROJECT um The first design of a modern gymnasi was included in the early planning stages of the Pride i capital campaign for the renova- tion of the MCB in the 1970 ' s. It was never incorporated in the final plans. The next capital campaign, Pride II, was utilized to provide additional financial aid funds and enhance the salaries of faculty and staff. Pride II goals were successfully met in the early BO ' s and planning began for the next capital campaign. The following timetable outlines the events from 1984-present: M APRIL, 1984 — Student Government Association, Athletic De- partment and Admissions Office present Needs Assessment to Simmons Corporation JANUARY 1985 — Simmons Corporation approves capital campaign for Sports Center APRIL, 1985 — Goody, Clancy and Asso- ciates chosen as architectural firm JUNE, 1985 — AUGUST, 1986 — Design stage DECEMBER, 1986 — HEFA application sub- mitted for funding JULY, 1987 — Construction begins MAY, 1989 — Construction completed .; ' VOLLEYBALL Co-captain seniors Pam Dobbie and Stefanie Wong helped solidify a young but talented volleyball team and led them to a winning, 14-10, season and third place in the state tournament.

Members included graduating seniors Ann Murphy and Shannon Olin, juniors Jill Cook, Joanne Tucker, Deirdre Kleinschmidt, sophomores Lisa Kuta, Lisa Nissenbaum, Dena Novak, Jennifer Kearney, Terri Hilton, Kristin Kuzminskas, and freshmen Michelle Palmer, Katy Scruton, Lauren Schlapak and Kris Myers. Under the expert coaching of Eleanora Mendonca and the assistance of Darlene Beckford, the team competed in nine meets, including the New England Championships, the NCAA Regionals, and the ECAC Championship in Albany, New York. The runners enjoyed great success in the Massachusetts State Women ' s Meet, placing third, and in the Wheaton College Invitational, placing third also. This spring Simmons boasts its first track team, with cross country runners Kuta, Nissenbaum, Novak, Scruton, Sphlapak and Kleinschmidt returning to compete. In the first meet of the season, Simmons placed third in the two mile relay at the Worchester Polytech Institute Invitational. Mendonca is also the coach of the track team, in her first attempt at the 1500M of the season, Novak improved her time from last season by running a 4:48, while simultaneously qualifying for the New England and ECAC Championships. FIELD HOCKEY Field hockey had a young team this year consisting of only freshmen and sophomores. They had a lot of experienced players with great ability and they will be ready for a winning season next fall. Amy Scheele, their goalie, did a super job in the goal. Kathleen Desmond and Tara Carey lead the backfield and Kim Pooler, Laura Barnicle and Michelle Goyette were the leading scorers. TENNIS The Simmons tennis team enjoyed a successful season with a 12 and l record. The team welcomed six new freshmen in the spring and ended the season with a 1 and 4 record. Sports 87 SAILING The following is a poem submitted by a member of the sailing team: NOVICE AT THE HELM Things were mighty desperate for the Simmons team that day. As the chilling whitecaps tore across the Narragansett Bay. With Amy Wolpert injured ' twas a need in Division B For a skipper or two and all eyes turned to Allison and me. Now it must be said that we weren ' t prepared for the task that was at hand, Neither of us had ever sailed a 420 in command. But our team was counting on us and so we fearfully obeyed, We zipped our suits and gnashed our teeth and swore we weren ' t afraid. The team came down to see us off and tell us we ' d survive, I pretended I could rig the boat and prayed I ' d stay alive. We sailed forth across the waves and tried to keep afloat. With sympathy and shouted help from the Brown ' s committee boat. Three long whistle blasts from Brad said all rules were in effect. And Al and I tacked back and forth, Simmons honor to protect. We crossed the line on starboard tack and squinting toward the beach, I could picture Mark frustrated as we tacked from reach to reach. Things were going fine, 1 thought, our first buoy was abeam. But I ' m here tonight to tell you — things aren ' t always what they seem. For suddenly, a puff came up, but alas it didn ' t stay, we hiked out far and with an awful crack I heard my knee give way. Oh, somewhere out across the bay the fleet was going in, Conn college now rejoicing in their half-expected win. B.U. was pleased with third and 1 could hear the Tufts girls shout — But there was no joy in my boat, for the skipper just fell out. — A true story by Sarah Maddog Maddeu BASKETBALL This year ' s basketball team has seen its last days of practicing at The Winsor School and Emmanual College, not having a true home court and carrying equipment from MCB across Emmanual ' s campus. With the completion of the new Sports Center the basketball team will have a brand new locker room and court to call their own. No more late practice times, no more team pregame meetings in the hallway and finally a home court. With the graduation of only two seniors, Ning Nandhabiwat and Jackie Dasch, the basketball team is young and talented. The program has had a slow beginning. This year, with the addition of a full time coach, Ali Kantor, and several talented freshmen and sophomores, the program shows promise of developing in time. There is a strong nucleus of players returning next year. Although the win loss record was 5-15, the true success lies in the achievements not apparent from the record. The team won the games they should have, beat some teams that had beaten them last year by considerable margins and narrowed the gap between the stronger teams with history and themselves. Next year they will have young talent, some experience and maybe a home court advantage. 88 Sports CREW f ' ' :: ■ r r Sports 89 90 Sports Sports 91 The Simmons News Holmes calls African Investments ' Insignificant ' by Sharon Cotliar Simmons College has partially divested from South Africa, President of the college William Holmes told editors of The Simmons News. In an interview two weeks ago, Holmes explained that as recently as 1985, Sim- mons was invested in IS companies that were doing business in South Africa. Today •Simmons has investments in nine companies there. When asked whether the finance com- mittee, which is made up of eight people, has consciously tried to withdraw its holdings from companies which are in- vested in South Africa, Holmes said, The committee is not saying we ' re get- ting out completely, but if there ' s a choice, between a company that is in or out, they will opt for the company that is not in South Africa. South Africa ' s system of apartheid, segregation of the races, has been an issue of concern among various governments as well as on college campuses throughout the country. In 1985, 80 percent of the Simmons faculty signed a letter urging the Simmons corporation to pull all Simmons funds out of companies that do business with the Pretoria government. While blacks make up 85 percent of the population, they have little say in the government and are prevented from enjoy- ing most of the same freedoms as whites. Five of the nine companies that Sim- mons is invested in are still active in South Africa, Holmes said. The four other companies have withdrawn or have an- nounced that they will be withdrawing. According to Holmes, the investments the college has in these nine companies represent less than four percent of the Simmons ' endowment. While the college ' s endowment is currently reported as $56 million, the investment the college has in the nine companies is reported to be more than $2 million. Though Holmes noted that this figure may be considered significant to the col- lege, he said it was insignificant to South Africa, explaining that it is too small to have an effect. Holmes noted that at every meeting of the finance committee, of which he is a member, the topic of South Africa is dis- cussed. He said the committee has become much more sensitive to the situation there. The pressure is being felt, he said, but there is a diversity of opinion. All members of the finance committee agree that the system of apartheid is un- acceptable, Holmes said. But, he added, There is real concern whether total divestment would be pulling the blinds. on South Africa. Some good may be coming of Simmons ' investment, Holmes said. He pointed out that one of the investments is in a medical ' care company. Asked his influence on the committee, Holmes said that as President of the col- lege, the committee is interested in what he has to say, but he quickly added, I ' m Continued on page 2 Investment cont. from p. 1 not the governing person on the commit- tee, and I don ' t want to be. There is a real misconception on where other colleges are in terms of divestment, Holmes said. Relying on figures from January of 1987, Holmes said that out of 3200 colleges and universities only 156 have taken .some sort of action, 103 have partially divested, and 53 have totally divested. Simmons is on the list, Holmes said, referring to the feet that Simmons has par- tially divested. When asked if the students, faculty, and staff united on the issue of divestment, how much weight would the college give to their opinion, Holmes said the commit- tee would take their opinion into consider- ation, but ultimately, it is the committee ' s decision. They [the committee members] have been invested with the power by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Holmes said. Holmes noted that the college has lost money because of its decision to stay out of some of the companies that are invested in South Africa. Holmes said he wants what ' s good for the college, adding that his main concern was that Simmons is a sound, well- managed college. ■ Simmons investment in South Africa 3.9 percent iiwtiiaW WkaaDatUOaftmaaaBaaararEar l.. n— ■■ mfimmm a— «— «T pw ammlm atofib ,mmimm tkmm.

The article quoted Holmes as saying the college could lose $250,000 a year if it divested its holdings in South Africa. The article further quoted Holmes as saying divestment could lead to an increase in tuition and a cut in faculty salaries. Holmes made these remarks during a stu- dent council meeting in September of 1985. David Gullette, professor of English, asked the president why cuts were men- tioned in facult y pay and not administra- tive salaries. Laurie Crumpacker, Coordinator of the Women ' s Studies Program, asked Holmes to clarify how much money Simmons could lose. The president said he was not prepared to comment on South Africa and if the faculty put it on next month ' s agenda he would come prepared to answer their questions. This is not the first time this issue has been raised at a faculty meeting. Approxi- mately three years ago, members of the faculty began to raise questions about the college ' s ownership of stocks in firms that do business in South Africa. Since that time the faculty has voted twice to ask the Corporation to divest all holdings in South Africa and in companies that are in-South Africa. But they have met with little success. On Dec. 4, 1985, the faculty issued a re- sponse that criticized the Corporation ' s statement on college investments in South Africa. The response stated: What is most unfortunate of all, however, is the moral stand that the Corporation has chosen to take because of their poor logic. In choosing to invest college funds in companies that do business in South Africa, the Corporation has chosen to actively participate in the only legalized, institutional practice of racism in the world today. The system of apartheid is morally repugnant and violates every prin- ciple of basic human dignity. In choosing to take advantage of this system, the Cor- poration is in essence saying that they are not bound by the principles which Sim- mons College seeks to advance. The size of our investment and the standard of our conduct in South Africa are irrelevant. To be involved there is to be involved in con- duct which none of us condones. Taking advantage of the cheap resources and arti- ficial markets created by apartheid is un- acceptable conduct for Simmons College. To this date the Corporation has not replied; and this lack of communication has angered the faculty. Crumpacker said, None of the things [letter writing, voting; appealing to the Corporation] we have tried so far have worked. There has been no movement on the. part of the Corporation. Gullette said, The faculty gets jaded trying to change this place. According to Gullette, the faculty over- whelmingly supports total divestment and is willing to participate with the student body to educate the community about apartheid. Gullette said the president has voluntar- ily raised the heat on apartheid because of his statement that divestment could raise tuition and lower salaries of faculty. Gullette said, The ball is in our court. We should call him on it. His statement is worthy of the election demagoguery. . .1 cannot believe we would lose so much money. The tuition thing is just a scare tactic unless it is true. He should present us with the facts— if the college is going to lose a quarter of a million dollars, prove it to me. President Holmes should print in The Simmons News all of his support data for his assertion that we will lose this amazing sum of money by divesting this piddling amount, Gullette said. He also noted how it seems the president wants it both ways, sometimes it ' s ' this amount is so small it doesn ' t even matter thai it ' s in South Africa, ' other times ' the college will collapse if it divests the same amount. ' Simmons should divest, said Associ- ate Dean Elizabeth Rawlins. Freedom. which we value so highly in this country, is worth suffering and death to them [black South Africans]. I think it [apart- heid] would end sooner if we got out. Rawlins said. Charlotte Morocco, dean of students. said, Given who we are as an institution it would be nice to be on the high road. It seems consistent with who we are and how we treat each other. Morocco said the institution is making a decision in the name of all Simmons students; past, present, and future. We should take a stand and be so committed to it that even if that stand would cripple the institution we would take that sand. It should be that important. The commitment should be so strong that even if we had to close our doors in September we would, she said. Morocco is not sure of her own commit- ment to divestment. It is perfectly dear to me that apartheid is immoral and un- ethical. I am less clear about financial entanglements in South Africa. I have a problem asking Simmons to divest from South Africa when Tm not convinced I can do that as a person. Our retirement fund, TIAA CREF, is in there; I ' m not pulling out. I could choose to do these things [boycott South African involved companies] if I took the time to find out who is doing business in South Africa. We decide which computers are best for the continues to p. 2 Divestment continual from p. 1 college— do we ask if they are doing busi- oess with South Africa? I fed morally right but sufficiently confused. Working 00 (he inside as opposed to the outside 1 guess. Rawlins said. It ' s easier to wort oo the inside when there is a mechanism open to change. People here just have to find ways 10 nuke the Constitution stick. There is hope. There is not that vehicle in South Africa. There b a conception that one group is superior to another. . .If I lived in South Africa I would have to give up my husband because he ' s darker than 1. That ' s crazy. Crumpacker also points out that the blacks win take the losses for the bigger gains. Divestment, she said, is the only thing their gov ernm ent will under- stand. Holmes said the issue of divestment is a miner of continued concern and the finance oonunsttee discusses it at each meeting, if only briefly. He said the finance committee sees the decision as both a financial and mora! decision. He said they are not oblivious to the moral implications. In defense of the S2.2 million invest- ment the Corporation now has in South Africa, Holmes said. Does it help matters by moving out? Some say yes; others say no. If we didn ' t have companies in there we ' d have no idea what is going on. The question for me is, do you do bet- ter by withdrawing from something you don ' t like or should you work to make it better? Holmes paralleled the situation to Ethiopia. He said the more governments got involved in the Ethiopia famine the more obvious it was their own government was starving them to death. Holmes asks, Do we tun our backs oo starving Ethio- pians because their government is killing them? And if we discover the South African government b repressing (heir blacks- Should we withdraw? Holmes said, I don ' t really think divestment is the answer: if 1 did I would have a whole different approach. I see divestment as a walking away. Gullette sees the situation differently. He said. The real issue is our responsibility as a college and (hat is to set the highest moral example we can. The finance com- mittee is using Sullivan ' s principles, which are a set of principles written by the Reverend Leon H. Sullivan with respect to how black workers should be treated. Sim- mons has chosen not to invest in any com- pany that will not comply with these prin- ciples. But they are not for colleges, Gullette says, especially not colleges. Colleges should have nothing to do with South Africa. The black leaders have asked colleges to put pressure on the government by divesting. Colleges should set the moral tone for the country. Gullette said President Holmes recently sent around a memo urging (he faculty to reach out to (be world and give to Oxfam and the United Vvay. Yet, be won ' t listen to our concerns about South Africa. Other schools may not be listening either. According to a 1987 list provided by Holmes, a reported 1S6 have divested. Holmes points out that only 55 schools have divested fully and (be remaining schools have partially divested. He em- phasizes Simmons b one of (nose schools that has taken action. Simmons has par- tially divested. The faculty argues that that b not enough. Crumpacker, a Simmons graduate, feels the pressure has to come from the stu- dents. They (the students] have to embar- rass the Corporation. I think the students here are too polite for their own good. . . maybe it b time to stop being so polite. You ' re the consumers here, she said. Morocco feels the Corporation would invite the student opinion— if the student body informed itself. Rawlins agreed, You have to have your facts together. The corporation b made up of busy people who volunteer their time. You would need to know your facts and exactly where the student body stands. Then give an informed, serious and re- spectful opinion. Gullette said getting the Corporation to divest depends on the way the student body and faculty express their feelings. Students need to understand our con- nection to South Africa. Let ' s think about the flowers in our driveway. The money for those flowers must come from some- where. Endowments maybe. Our endow- ments are in South African companies. The reason these companies are able to pay such a high return is the way they treat their black workers. Students need to sec the chain, the money chain leading from our flowers to the black workers. For black South Africans the money that pours in from countries like the United States symbolizes a chain that keeps them from their freedom. ■ by Anna Sophie Baver Dollar sign marks the shape of South Africa Simmons ' s Issues 93 The Simmons News Woods Urges Simmons to Divest by Christine McGarity The outcome of Donald Woods ' ap- pearance last Wednesday night was more than just the heightened awareness of apar- theid that was hoped for. More than half way through the question and answer period of the evening, while discussing what can be done to stop apartheid. Woods mentioned the divestment of col- lege holdings, . . , there are still campuses that haven ' t divested, although most have, he said, and was interrupted by a call from the audience. We haven ' t, pro- claimed senior Deana Gamber. A stunned Woods took a moment before responding, but then said, Well, I hope something ' s done about that pretty soon. Many in attendance stirred after the news was out, and many more expressed their surprise and anger at both Woods ' not being informed, and at the college ' s investments in the companies in South Africa. I really hope that he didn ' t find out at that moment, said Candyce Polk, Head Resident of Morse Hall. 1 hope it doesn ' t make him have a sour feeling about Sim- mons . . . I ' m sure he came thinking that the Simmons campus believed in human rights for all people. According to Terr: Delahtinty, Student Activities Director, Woods in fact was It ' s official; Holmes says tuition to increase 9.9% unaware of Simmons ' investments in South Africa. I wonder if the college was thinking that maybe it wouldn ' t come out [at the lecture], said Polk. Until that moment, many attendees were unaware that the Simmons corporation has investments in companies which have holdings in South Africa. I didn ' t know, said freshman Caitlin Carroll, I was sur- prised that with all the people that did know that more of an issue hasn ' t been made. It makes you almost ashamed of Simmons. . .1 hope there is something that we can do. This is not the first time that a student has expressed hope of changing the divest- ment situation. Demands from students, faculty, and staff to divest have been made on several occasions since a meeting of the Student Council in September of 1985. According to a statement made by Presi- dent William Holmes at the September meeting, a study done by the Finance Committee showed that $5 million of Sim- mons ' $43 million endowment was held in stocks of IS companies that do business in South Africa. At that time, the reported total investment in these stocks was less -than $60,000. At the same meeting, Holmes said that if Simmons divested these stocks, reinvest- ment would be a difficult task. He ex- plained that Simmons could stand to lose $250,000 a year as a result. (This figure was based comparatively on a study which showed the predicted losses of Mt. Holyoke College if they divested.) Holmes added that a loss of this amount would augment tuition and possibly decrease pro- fessors ' salaries. • On December 4, 1985, a statement was voted on affirmatively by the faculty, outlining arguments against the Finance Committee ' s contentions, and it urged the corporation to divest fully from those companies doing business in South Africa. This statement was reaffirmed as recently as February of this year, but still no action has been taken by the corporation to do so. During the spring of 1986 several stu- dents, both members of the S.G.A. and non-members, made efforts to raise aware- ness of the situation in South Africa. The knowledge of apartheid was hoped to unify the campus and promote efforts to pressure for divestment. A South African Awareness day was sponsored by the S.G.A. , and informative pamphlets were given out by individual students who chose to try and make a change. Eventually, these efforts were made un- successfully, because, as we all now know. Simmons has not yet divested. ■ by Sluiron Cotlior Simmons College President William 1 lolincs announced this week lliat Uicrc will be a 9.9 percent luilion increase fur lhcl989- 1990 academic year. In order 10 improve Ihc quality of your institution, you need to leave yourself enough resources so that the college can develop itself. Holmes said in explaining Uic need Tor the tuition increase. Eighty percent of the college ' s budget is derived front Mudent tuition ami fees. luilion for a full lime undcrgrndualc student will rise to SI 1,712 from S 10.656. In addition, hcaldi fees will rise to S300 from $272, iiikl the mm. km activities fee will rise to $I2U from $1(11. Students arc now charged S333 per semester credit hour. Next semester students will be charged S366 per semester credit hour. For on campus students, the cost of luilion and room and board will rise to $17,380 from $ 1 5.H8S. The cost of room and board alone will rise to $5,248 from St.860, which represents an 8 percent increase, llic overull cost increase for on campus Miuleuts is 9.4 percent. Initially, l lit: Simmons Sews reported die dollar amount of Ihc tuition increase would he slightly higher based on information from student sources; that was before tlic information was made official by Holmes. Holmes, wlio did not want to release the tuition figure until the Coqxvation approved the college budget, said Monday. February 5 that die Cor|K)rniitm unanimously apiiroved lite college ' s $ 42.9 million pro|iascd operational budget and lite 9.9 | crccii! union increase. Of llic ten schools that Simmons competes with for students. Holmes said that the tuition increase ranked the third lowest. Some of those schools arc: Boston University, Mount I lolyokc, Russell Sage. Wcllcsley, Whealon and Worcester Polylcchnical Institute. In the last eight years. Simmons ' average tuition increase has been 9.7 percent, according to Holmes. ■ Students parents angered over tuition increase by DeeDee Plate It has been nearly three weeks since President Holmes officially announced the 9.9% tuition increase, and if Holmes was hoping the angry reactions to the an- nouncement would die down before the letters informing parents were sent, he was wrong. Students are still fuming over the un- characteristically high increase and those few students brave enough to tell their parents in advance will tell you that mom and dad aren ' t exactly euphoric either. It ' s outrageous, says Mary Henrich, mother of Theresa Henrich, a freshman at Simmons. You can ' t say anything about it, you just have to scream, she concluded. When the increase was first announced, Tricia though she was going to have to transfer, but her parents, realizing that Tricia was happy and doing well academically at Simmons, let her stay. It puts such a burden on me because it ' s so much money, explains Tricia. Tricia is not only referring to the agree- ment she has with her parents stating that as long as she keeps her grades up she can stay at Simmons, but also to the thirty hours a week she worked last semester to earn extra money. Tricia is still looking for a job this semester. There ' s no need for higher education to cost so much, said Tricia. Marie Petrucci, mother of Dawn Petruc- ci, a sophomore P.T. major at Simmons, doesn ' t like the increase either and is fear- ful of the future of higher education. They ' re going to price everybody right out of going to school, says Petrucci. Mr. and Mrs. Plakias agree that tuition is creating a burden, but like to think that their daughter, Kim Plakias, a sophomore, is receiving a top-notch education and that, in the end, it will have been worth it. Michelle St. Pierre, a freshman, hasn ' t gotten up the nerve to tell her parents yet. I don ' t want to be around when they find out, said St. Pierre. According to St. Pierre, most of her friends feel the same way. Julie Kim, a junior, can ' t believe the in- crease. Thank God I only have one more year, says Kim. Kim says her parents ' sentiments are the same. The overall attitude of students and parents alike was best summed up by Karen Pope, mother of Christian Pope, a sophomore at Simmons. Put up or shut up. They make the rules, says Pope. There ' s nothing you can do. . . except shop around for a cheaper school. ! 94 Simmons ' s Issues The Simmons News i On Saturday, February 18th, Eddy left the Long Island Shelter in Quincy before 7:00 a.m., as he does every day. On his walk to the T, he begged for enough change to get him downtown — to Boston Common, where he knew his usual group of friends would be. After begging money from civilians on the street. Eddy and his friends on the Common discovered they did not have enough money to buy themselves a bottle of vodka. But, there was enough change to buy a large bottle of Listerine mouthwash, which they could buy at CVS on Park Street. Listerine has a low-alcohol content, which ain ' t no vodka, but it numbs the pain of living, if you can call this living, said Eddy. After finishing their first bottle of Listerine, the sun came out, and they began to feel a little warmer. They wouldn ' t feel quite as cold when they needed to gather change for the next bot- tle, and a pack of cigarettes. However, after consuming three bottles of Listerine, CVS refused to sell them another. The group of homeless men were happy when another friend arrived with a bottle of vodka, which he shared with all of them. Whatever they have, they will share with one another. Us street people help each other; all we ' ve got is each other, said one member of the group. At noon, when a nearby soup kitchen opened, the more sober of the group assisted Eddy (who by this time was un- able to get up by himself) into the kitchen. When they arrived Eddy slumped in the corner, and soup kitchen volunteers helped him to eat something . I don ' t know what we ' re going to do with Eddy. He ' s spent [had it]; he can ' t do it anymore. It ' s almost i time for him to leave us now, I think, said Dougie, his close friend. An hour later, back on the Common, Eddy attempted to beg some more money. But as he was swaying and staggering, no one would go near him. Finding the weather too cold to bear, he sat inside the T station. Some of the group joined him. while others retreated to their various said one of the homeless men who sleeps on the streets every night. Dougie used to sleep on the streets to avoid the hassles at shelters. (On the whole, the shelters are dangerous, par- ticularly Pine Street Inn. according to Dougie who was stabbed with an ice pick in a shelter.) But when Dougie had half his foot amputated from frost bite recently, he now feels shelters are his only option. Dougie had little success begging money that Saturday afternoon. Do you know what that [guy] just said to me? he asked, when he returned to the group. Well, I ' ll tell you— He told me I ' m a lazy bum and I should get a job. Can ' t he see how sick I am? How...damn obvious does it have to be? Does he really think I enjoy living like this? Apart from his foot and stab wound, Dougie suffers from a shot wound he received in the Vietnam War. Beyond of all this, Dougie has had to face the fact that he has AIDS. A man approached him say- ing, Hey Eddy, you ' re looking really bad. Have some of this, it ' ll make you feel better. Staggering himself, the man handed Eddy half a pint of methanol. Ed- dy eagerly finished the bottle in five minutes. Feeling the effects of the methanol im- mediately, he was unable to move himself from the floor of the T station. Busy passengers passing by looked down at Eddy with absolute disgust. Soon after, his condition worsened. Before his friends were able to move him, Eddy began to have a seizure. Heidi Grassley, a Simmons student who had spent the day with Eddy and his friends, called an ambulence to the scene. The ambulance arrived within 10 minutes. By the time the ambulence workers were able to get to Eddy ' s seizure had stopped, but he was fading. He was taken into the ambulance, and the emergency network services did everything they could for Eddy, but to no avail. Eddy died on the way to the hospital. Like Dougie and a large number of homeless men in Boston, Eddy was a Vietnam veteran. Eddy fought in the Viet- nam war for 18 months. I was in Viet- nam and I ' m proud of it. I still love this country even though I know it doesn ' t give a damn about me. People spat on me when I came back from Vietnam, said Eddy, earlier that day. Not only was he spat on when he returned from Vietnam, but he never re- ceived any psychological help. According to Eddy, the remaining rehabilitation cen- ters for Vietnam veterans had been closed down by the Nixon administration by the time he returned to America. Like many other Vietnam veterans, Eddy began his addiction to drugs and alcohol during the war to cope with traumatic circumstances. He lived on the streets ever since his re- turn from Vietnam. Without help, Eddy said he could not fit back into his former lifestyle. Before Eddy left for Vietnam, he was living in the Boston area with a wife and six children. Vietnam was 15 years ago, but the casualty list is still growing. The pain is still there, and the consequences are still being felt, said Grassley Simmons College senior who pent that Satur jav with Eddy M Simmons ' s Issues 95 The Simmons News Simmons is represented at Pro-choice march by Andrea Cirie Approximately 75 Simmons students were among the estimated 450,000 Pro-choice demonstrators, gathered last Sunday for a march and rally at the nation ' s capital to support a woman ' s right to a safe and legal abortion. This is an event that will go down in history. ..I felt like I made a difference, said junior Kathy Carmichael. The students who traveled to the march joined people from all over the United States. Those students who did not travel to Washington, D.C. on the bus chartered by Simmons got there by train, plane, car or by a NOW (National Organization of Women) chartered bus. Many of the demonstrators came out of a sense of urgency as the 1973 Supreme Court decision oiRoe v. Wade legalizing abortion, will face its most crucial challenge in Washington on April 26. The controversial decision is now being threatened by a 1986 abortion case from Missouri that has made its way to the Supreme Court and may threaten to limit, or result in the decision being overturned. That ' s why I ' m here, said 54-year-old Joan Becker from Long Island, New York. I refuse to turn back the clock. 96 Simmons ' s Issues Decker ' s sentiments were echoed by many. Supporters of the Pro-choice movement seem to agree that the mere re- cvalution of the Roc v. Wade case is a step backward for women ' s rights. House Representative Don Edwards (D- Califomia) shouted from the steps of the capilol, Mr. President, you and your gang want to lake yourselves back to the dark ages-well, we ' re not going with you. The crowd of men, women and children of every age and colo responded to Edwards ' s remarks by chanli ig, Never again. The rally featured a number of charismatic speakers including Reverend Jesse Jackson, Gloria Stcincm, NOW President Molly Yard, actress Cybill Shcpard, and House Representative Patricia Schrocdcr (D- Colorado). Schrocdcr, who will be the keynote speaker at Simmons ' commencement ceremony this May, announced to the crowd that, (When) Ronald Reagan got elected and said, ' Put down your picket signs and put on vbur little dress for success suits, ' a lot of people put down their picket signs and lost their rights. Fayc Watticton. the president of Planned Parenthood, asked the crowd, If we cannot be trusted to decide what is right for our bodies, what good arc we doing in the corporate boardrooms? The protesters rcsjx)ndcd by jolting their placards into the air and chanting the messages they carried. The messages varied in tone. Some placards read simply, Pro- choice is pro-life, and Roe v. Wade is here to slay. Others took a more severe approach reading, Keep Bush off my body, and If men coulc get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. The diversity of the demonstrators suggested that even though women are the only group physically affected by abortion rights, the social ramifications of a Roe v. Wade overturn would affect the entire nation I ' m here to support women ' s rights, but I ' m also here to support my own rights. This is not just a women ' s issue, it ' s a human issue. If (the Supreme Court) takes away a woman ' s riglu to choose an abortion who knows what will be next, said 22- ycar-old Indiana University student John Teddy. Tcrri Grant Williams, a Simmons senior, said, The incredible thing about the march was the diversity of people there. There were huge numbers of men there and families with three or four generations represented, which proves that this is no longer a women ' s issue. It is a personal rights and privacy issue. Junior Allison Simmons said, I wish we could bring the feeling back home to the people who weren ' t there. For me, it was very empowering.. .to be in a crowd that big with people who share the same feelings tha you do is amazing, she said.B The Simmons News Conference discusses Palestinian Israeli conflict by Sharon Cot liar In a symposium that would have been politically impossible just ten years ago, individuals representing Israeli, Palestinian and American viewpoints gathered at Simmons College on Tuesday, April 1 1 to discuss possible resolutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict The symposium, which was organized by Kirk Beattie, chairman of the Political Science department and an assistant professor at Simmons, featured Hermann Eilts, Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, Avner Yaniv and William Quandt Beattie opened the conference by noting that it had been 10 years and 16 days since the signing of the Camp David Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel and pointing out that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at a critical juncture as a result the Intifadah or Palestinian uprising [that is now 16 months old] .which led to the Palestinians ' recent recognition of Israel ' s right to exist and the opening of dialogues between the United States and the Palestinians via Yassir Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Eilts, who was the United States ambassador to Egypt at the time of the signing of the Camp David Peace Accords and therefore was part of the negotiating team, discussed what he felt were the lessons of Camp David. When we finished Camp David, we were all in a state of euphoria, said Eilts, noting the importance of the fact that an American president, Jimmy Carter, had managed to mediate an agreement between Israel and Egypt Yet Eilts said that the Camp David Peace Treaty, an agreement that was supposed to lead to a comprehensive peace in the Middle East ultimately failed because they did not place enough importance on the resolution of the Palestinian problem. It was our hope that the momentum would continue.. .but the agreement between Egypt and Israel did not develop as we hoped it would and there is now more hostility in the area than existed before. Appearing from left to right are panelists Hermannn Eilts, Aimer Yanic, Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, and Willaim Quandt. Photo by Yvette Lee-son. We wanted an American president to succeed and in the process we allowed a document to develop that had no meaning, said Eilts. In retrospect Eilts said, that it is clear that they (those that negotiated the settlement) did not place enough importance on the Palestinian issue. It has become increasingly clear that if we are really going to move toward a comprehensive peace [in the Middle East] that the Palestinian problem needs to be looked at Eilts said that while he believes the United States does not have the same credibility in the region that it did 10 years ago, he still believes that the U.S. is the only power that could act as an intermediary in the conflict He also said that he thinks that the solution of the Israeli Palestinian conflict could only happen as the result of an international conference. Simiiiarly, Abu-Lughod, who was the second speaker, expressed his belief that the conflict could only be resolved through negotiations involving an intermediary. Abu-Lughod, who is a member of the • Palestinian National Council (PNC) and a professor of Political Science at Northwestern University, discussed the benefits of the Intifadah. Ibrahim Abu-Lughod addresses crowd at Simmons. Photo by Y ?tte Lee-son. He said that the uprising enabled King Hussein of Jordan to disengage himself from the West Bank, which was formerly part of of Jordan before Israel conquered the territory during the Six Day War in 1967, allowing the Palestinian population there the chance to break ties with the Jordanian government that supervised the area along with the Israeli military and declare their independence. Abu-Lughod said that he feels fortunate to witness Palestinians practicing independence on tiieir own soil, and he added that ' Israel ' s non-recognition [of the Palestinian declaration of an independent Palestinian state in the occupied territories] is painful but in the long-run it is irrelevant Abu-Lughod said he considers the United States a party to the conflict, and he said he was happy to hear the Bush Administration using a different language. I ' m not saying acceptance of the Palestinian reality is around the comer but it is there, said Abu-Lughod. Abu-Lughod also stressed the importance of stopping the shipment of arms to the area. Yaniv, who spoke after Abu-Lughod, did not agree with Abu-Lughod ' s suggestion that disarmament should be advocated in the region. Instead, he said, it is important for Arab countries to start accepting the power realities as they are, and that eventually these realities will be changed. Yaniv suggested that the best way for the Palestinians to get the Israelis to negotiations was to have the P.L.O. call for a halt to the stone-throwing demonstrations that are now a daily part of life in the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Yaniv said this would prove that the P.L.O. really is the sole representative of the Palestinian people. There is some suspicion of duplicity, he noted.. Quandt, a National Security Council advisor to the Middle East during the Carter administration and now a member of the Brookings Institution, followed Yaniv ' s comments with a discussion of the role the United States could play in the Middle East As a former diplomat who is familiar with Washington ' s inner circles, Quandt said that it is an interesting time, noting that the Bush administration is now- consid ering what kind of role it should play. Quandt said that he felt the Bush administration would take an interest in the conflict and worked towards its resolve. Like Eilts, he felt the U.S. is the only power tliat could serve. as an intermediary. William Quandt addresses issue. Y ctte Lee-son.

Simmons ' s Issues 97 The Simmons News 1,000 attend on-campus party by Sharon Cotliar In what was an unprecedented turnout for a Simmons social event, more than 1,000 people came to the residence campus last Friday night to attend what was advertised as The Perfect Party, sponsored by Arnold Hall. The party, which was held in Alumnae Hall, went from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. By 10. p.m., the hall was filled to maximum capacity (400 peopfe), and a line had formed outside the doors that reached out onto Brooidine Ave. It was an amazing turnout, said Kristen Bell, a senior at Simmons. Noting that the campus has seen little action in recent years, junior Jennifer Lahuc said, It was really nice to see so many people here. I couldn ' t believe it when I saw the line was all the way out to the street, said Lisa Pacheco, a Simmons sophomore who waited outside for a half an hour before she was let into the party. Also in line with Pacheco were students from Boston University, Boston College, MIT, Tufts, Harvard University ' s undergraduate and graduate programs, St. John ' s University, Maritime Academy, the Coast Guard Academy as well as a mimbcr of other colleges and universities in the New England area. The amazing turnout can largely be attributed to the organizing efforts of Sue Harper, a sophomore-resident of Arnold Hall who said she was tired of hearing Simmons students complain about their non-existent social life and decided, It was time to put Simmons back on the map. Harper proposed the idea of having Arnold Hall sponsor a parly at a dorm meeting in early February. The organization of the party was a team effort, said Harper. We achieved our goal, and now hopefully we ' ve set a precedent for other ' halls, said Harpcr.B 1989 Mr. Simmons Scott Howlett chosen on talent ) J by Andrea Cirie Plump pastel balloons and twisted colored streamers hung from the walls of Alumnae Hall. The string of bright lights surrounding the runway set the stage for the contestants. The audience waited in anticipation. Would he be brawny or would he be small? Would he be short or would he be tall? These questions lingered in the minds of audjence members at the 13th Annual Mr. Simmons Contest last Sunday night. After a two-hour presentation of the six contestants, a Theta Chi fraternity brother from MIT was crowned the 1989 winner. The contest, organized by a South Hall committee, was more than just a beauty pageant The contestants were judged on their knowledge of Simmons trivia, creativity, talent, and modeling abilities. The best thing about the contest was seeing the reactions on the guys ' faces, said junior Elaine Petrasy. Petrasy was referring to the Impromptu Creativity portion of the contest. Contestants were asked by the Mistresses of Ceremonies, Patty Merola and Colleen Berry, to act out a given situation without words or sounds. Some of the situations ranged from walking in extremely high heels, the kind you only see in Revere , said Merola, squeezing into a pair of skin- light jeans, and gelling you I.D. rejected at the liquor store while three beautiful women watched. The contestants, who represented the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston University, and Northeastern University were asked to share their hidden talents with the audience. The acts included juggling, stand-up comedy, and a campfire rendition of a song by country singer Waylon Jennings. The highlight of the contest, however, was the talent act of winner Scott Howlett Howlett, who dressed up as a stereotypical geek emitted his act A Smorgasbord. His self-created character performed a dance (taught to him by his calculus teacher) that turned into a strip tease. Beneath the unmatched, outdated clothing and thick, taped glasses Howlett was wearing a pair of boxer shorts that read Bom to do Physics, with F=MA written across his derricre. The uncontainable cheering and laughter sent a high-spirited mood through the hall. But, as Merola and Berry later pointed out, It is important to remember why wc arc here. They explained thai the proceeds of the contest were going to be donated to the Massachusetts chapter of the Starlight Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to critically, chronically, and terminally ill children. Penny Goodman, administrator of the local chapter of the Slarlighi Foundation, told the audience that the money the foundation gels, through individual and corporate donations and charily events, goes toward granting such wishes as trips lo Disney World and celebrity visits. Goodman told the audience that It ' s people like you who make dreams come true for our children. Other audience members shared Goodman ' s sentiments. S ophomore Melissa Murrcll said, It was nice to know that the event was going to benefit a good cause. Junior Tammy Roy explained thai she enjoyed the irony of the event itself. [The Mr. Simmons contest] is certainly a reversal of what you usually sec-- this time we ' re in control, she said. ■ 98 Simmons ' s Issues The Simmons News Sports Center to open soon, athletic director says by Kim Pressman With only Ave weeks left in the semester, a supervisor of the Sport Center ' s construc- tion said the project is close to completion. Yet, a grand opening date still has not been set We ' re trying to get it open in April, said Sheila Brown, director of athletics and physical education. We hope to get in and hope to get in, but right now it ' s not that easy. Several of the Sports Center ' s attractions require additional work, according to Brown. But, as of March 30th, the pool was Tilled, and it is believed that the entire pool area will pass inspection by April 10. Vappi (the construction company in charge of the project) should give us the building by April 14, substantially complete. Then we still have to work on the punch list, explained Brown. The punch list consists of items that still have to be completed. According to Brown, they are not major issues, but the Sports Center has to be complete before it can be open for use. The next couple of weeks will prove to be crucial in determin- ing the final opening date. We ' re ready to go with staffing, Brown said and added, we already had a job meeting in the Conference Room. Hope- fully we will be lucky with the punch list We ' re going to nave to make a lot ot decisions. For instance, if there is a shower in the locker room that doesn ' t work, do you close off the shower or not let anyone into the building yet? However, many decisions concerning the building ' s use have been decided already. First of all, ' the graduating class of 1989 will be given a free membership for the next year. There will be no fees for current Simmons students or graduate students. The faculty, staff, and alumnae win be able to purchase memberships for an annual fee of S100. Family memberships vill also be available, but the cost has not been deter- mined as of this time. Students and graduate students will be allowed two guests at a time, free of charge. Faculty, staff and alumnae will be allowed one guest per visit, also free of charge, according to Brown. Even though the center is not open, tenta- tive hours have been discussed and will be used on-a trial basis. The Sports Center will be open between 8 a.m. • 10 pjn. weekdays and 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 12:00 p.m. • 8:00 p.m. on Sundays. The pool, however, will have more restricted hours. Brown said. The new sports complex will be open only to the Simmons College community through the end of the fall semester. The staff will have to decide how much the complex is used by the Simmons community before ' they can open it up to other institutions. ' Typically speaking, Brown explained, classes and teams will have priority. Right now we just want to get you all in there. Since the beginning of the spring semester the athletics staff has been enthusiastic and open about the progress of the complex We ' ve given tours to donors, lathers and daughters [during Father Daughter Week- end], classes, different offices, etc. and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, Brown said. The department cannot wait to turn it over to the student body and are as anxious as anyone to get in, according to Brown. mm A finished basketball court in the Simmons Spirts Complex. I ' hoio by Maryan Kdranaty. Directors have been discussing an opening date scheduled somehow into Spring Spree or May Day, although no promises can be made. At this time, the time capsule, whicn is presently being put together, will be inserted in the wall behind the cornerstone. They are waiting now ( just like all the students) for a confirmed date of absolute completion. Yet, the staff says that Senior Week is a possible target and we hope the seniors will plan some events in the gym j-u. ng that week, said Brown. Presently, there is an information sheet about hours and other cpncems.that can be pick 1 up in the Physical Education Depart- ment The staff is more than willing to provide any answers they can at this time. Brown acknowledged that it has been a long awaited project But she said the end is no longer a far-off possibility, it ' s in sight said Brown ■ Simmons College Sports Center Membership Fees and Guest Policies April-August, 1989 The Sports Center will be open to the Simmons community, including the undergraduate and graduate students, faculry, staff, and alumnae from April- August, 1989.

MASSACHUSETTS 021 1 5-5898 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT April 5, 1989 To The Class of 1989: It is always difficult to write this letter because it means that we are losing a quarter of our best citizens, those who have worked the hardest and the longest to keep Simmons interesting and busy. One thinks of the Sports Center, of work on the residence campus, of South African Awareness Day, and of the Arnold Hall party. But move on as you must; you have to try out all the things you have learned here and all the things you have become here. Chosing Simmons has made you a different person and living and working in Boston has added to your class room and laboratory experiences, we hope, to make you a more capable and interesting person. Do not settle for too little. The world is huge and complex and can be confusing and unstructured. But the same energy and intelligence that brought you to Simmons and carried you through Simmons can be depended upon to work again. People are people, even if there are more of them, and goals are goals. Set your sights on something that you can respect and feel worthwhile and go ahead. We are still here to help you and are happy to be asked. Remember us as a part of your large family just as you remember each other as a source of strength and support. Yours, kM  William J.

As always, I am finding it a little difficult to believe that, for most of you, four years have passed since your arrival at the College. Some of my colleagues would insist that this is a sign of my advancing age, but I know better. It really is a sign of how much I have enjoyed being a small part of your experience at the College. Commencement Day will be a day filled with many conflicting emotions for you, including that moment in the day that will mark the end of one phase of your life and the beginning of another. For those of us who teach and work at Simmons, it is a day of pride. Each of you reflects our best efforts to inspire in you the self-confidence and spirit of independence that will permit you to lead rich personal lives and to give you the competence to become useful members of society. We believe in what we do; we work hard at it; and you are the proof that together we have done it well. For us, this is also a day of hope and optimism. You are our future. We believe you have the talent, skill, patience, compassion, sensitivity, creativity, ingenuity, daring and integrity that it will take to make sense out of our universe, to provide order in our society, and to bring forth our humanity. So, we celebrate together. You have every reason to be proud of what you have done, who you are, and what you will become. We hope, sincerely, that you will keep in touch with us so that we can evaluate the Simmons experience through you and share in your future successes. My best wishes for a lifetime of serendipitous experiences and my thanks to you for enriching the life of the Simmons College Community.

Hillel is the Jewish Student Or- ganization on campus. We run so- cial, religious and cultural pro- grams — a little something for everyone. This year we had a fab- ulous dance which was held in the Fens Cafeteria. The dance was co-sponsored by some of the other Hillels at colleges around greater Boston, and it turned out to be quite a success (and a lot of fun!) Thanks to the support of the Simmons community, this year Hillel was able to arrange to have a beautiful oil menorah in the Quad during the week of Chan- ukah. We also ran programs in conjunction with Generations , an organization that links college students with the elderly. Some of our other great events include a movie night, a speaker on the Jews of Ethiopia, and special pro- grams on the Jewish holidays. Hillel is an excellent way to have fun, meet new friends and learn more about ourselves and others. The Commuter Organization Commuters compose approxi- mately one-third of the undergradu- ate population of Simmons College. This significant proportion of the stu- dent body is supported by the Com- muter Organization which exists to serve ' their needs and make life at Simmons more enjoyable. The orga- nization sponsors brunches, teas, holiday parties and many other social events as well as numerous fundrais- ers. These have included bake sales, vendors, flower sales, raffles and candygrams. A highlight of the spring semester is the annual Commuter Awareness Day. The 1988-1989 officers are: PRESIDENT: Zehra Schneider ' 89 VICE-PRESIDENT: Alys Nawawi ' 90 TREASURER: Debra MacNeil ' 90 SECRETARY: Megan Gondek ' 91 SENIOR REP.: Kathy Parker ' 89 JUNIOR REP.: Amani Thomas ' 90 SOPHOMORE REP.: Stacey Karasoulos ' 91 FRESHMAN REP.: Sandra Costantini ' 92 PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENTS: Teresa Raso ' 91 Tammy Syrigos ' 91 Also important to the smooth func- tioning of the organization were all the students who were involved but did not hold any specific office. Commuter events are open to all members of the Simmons com- munity. Members in photo: Megan Gondek, Teresa Raso, Zehra Schneider, Alys Nawawi, Betsy Peabody, and Debbie MacNeil. Clubs 125 Freshman Class The Freshman Class spent the year adapting itself to each other and the school. With the help of its officers: President — Michelle St. Pierre; Vice-President — Alison Dorman; Secretary — Adria Deasy; and Treasurer — Amy Cur- tain, the class held together and the next few years promise to be even better. This year the class attempted to increase the spirit at Simmons by holding a reception after the opening basketball game and co-sponsoring an event at the new Sports Center. We carolled at the Children ' s Hospital and held two very successful bake sales. Ending the year with a scavenger hunt and barbecue, brought a close to our first year at Simmons. Officers: Michelle St. Pierre, President; Alison Dorman, Vice-President, Adria Deasy, Secretary; and Amy Curtain, Treasurer (missing). Sophomore Class The Sophomore Class is repre- sented by a group of four officers in charge of promoting spirit and unity throughout the class. The main events sponsored by them this year have been the Great Pumpkin Sale, the Valentine ' s Day Ball boutonniere sale, the Sopho- more Class Dinner and the May Day Festival. Officers: Kathleen Pillion, President; Sue Stedman, Vice-President; Robin Blomquist, Secretary; Nancy Nealon, Treasurer. 126 Clubs Junior Class This year the members of the Junior Class participated in many activities that helped to unify them as a group. Among them were class meetings, a weekend ski trip to Montreal, and the tradi- tional Junior Senior Toast. The class of 1990 supported fund- raisers and also contributed to community projects. Officers: Elizabeth Sampson, President; Anne-Marie Higgins, Vice-President; Maribeth Santanello, Secretary; Julie Kim, Treasurer. Senior Class The seniors have had a very busy, yet exciting year! Class ac- tivities have included 89 days til Graduation, the Second Annual Pub Crawl and Senior Faculty Banquet to name a few. Com- mencement speaker Pat Schro- der helped make May 21st a very special day. Good luck to all. Officers: Jean MacFarland, Presi dent; Lisa Hill, Vice-President; Debra Ann Krulak, Secretary; and Wendy Kasen, Treasurer. Clubs 127 Drama Club The Simmons Theatrical Society is putting on two theatrical pro- ductions this year, The Cabaret on Feb. 24th and The Dining Room in May. The Simmons Theatrical Society was started this year, 1988-1989, to promote students creativity in the theatri- cal world. Simmons Theatrical Society is also sponsoring many workshops that will increase theatrical awareness. It is our || sincere hope that this club con- tinues to grow and expand with the Simmons community for many years to come.

Clubs 129 Activities Programming Board The Activities Programming Board is one of the major programming forces on campus. Each member of the board serves as chairperson or co- chairperson for one of the seven com- mittees: Annual Events, Performing Arts, Special Events, Films, Educa- tion Community Service, Lectures, and Travel. The board attempts to provide a wide range of social, edu- cational, and cultural programs for the Simmons community. Some highlights of the ' 88 ' 89 year in- clude Fall Carnival, The Valentine ' s Day Ball, pianist Liz Story, lecturer Donald Woods, Music to Munch By series, Whale Watch, Blockbuster film series, and a Red Cross sponsored Blood Drive. The board requires that each mem- ber be dedicated and responsible. Because the board has the largest student activity budget on campus, it is imperative that board members are committed and energetic individuals, who are able to prioritize time wisely and balance academic obligations with a demanding extracurricular schedule. This year ' s board has been composed of an outstanding group of ten individuals.

Quadside Committee 1989-1989 has been the most suc- cessful year in Quadside ' s his- tory, with full houses every week. We started out the year with a blockbuster comedy night. Quad- side was jammin ' with the up and coming rock band, In The Flesh, with the cafe filled to capacity. We also welcomed CBS recording ar- tists Full Circle. We also had the reggae band Mighty Charge and a great Acapella night. As always, The Armstrong Brothers, Taylor Notch and The Modern Pladz were welcomed back. Overall it was a fun and exciting year.

So far this year we have had a career night, held weekly meet- ings and gone on the Moxie fash- ion trip. Next year we look forward to hopefully putting on another fashion show in the spring. We are here at any time if there is a problem. Officers: Lori Rosen, President; Robyn Blomquist, Vice-President; Shelley Schwartz, Treasurer; and Marion Mestre, Secretary (missing). Amnesty International Amnesty International is a worldwide movement that works to protect the human rights of other people by confronting heads of government and de- manding the fair and prompt trial and unconditional release of pris- oners of conscience as well as an end to torture and execution in all cases. For the first time in the his- tory of both the college and the or- ganization it was brought to Sim- mons as an active group. Spurred on by the visit of human rights advocate and South African jour- nalist Donald Woods as well as the divestment movement of the Simmons community, Amnesty International Simmons College earned their reputation as an ac- tive group in awareness raising and action-taking. Undoubtedly this group will remain an impor- tant part of consciousness-raising on human rights violations around the world.

Clubs 131 Nutrition Liaison The purpose of the organization is to provide fellowship among nutrition majors and to expose all students to the various aspects of nutrition through different ac- tivities. In the fall semester, we had a career night, two bake sales, we participated in the Oxfam fast and had a holiday party. In the spring semester we had two bake sales, a nutrition seminar, we participated in an on campus open house to recruit nutrition majors and we had an end of the year party. Members in photo: Ticia Riley, Kathleen Janicki, Susan Bergoudlan, Gerald Buonopane, (advisor) and Kim Carleton, (President). Officers not present: Jessica Daily, Vice-President; Jennifer Troy, Treasurer; Barbara Gergly, Secretary.

This year we had a pizza party, Holiday tea with the faculty, breast self exam teaching, blood pressure, and eye screening. In May we planned and organized our tradi- tional pinning ceremony. Officers in photo: Carol Rossetto, President; Elizabeth Kine, Vice-President; Filipa Gomes, Trea- surer; and Fiona Paul, Secretary. 132 Clubs English Liaison The primary goal of this year ' s En- glish Liaison had been to expose the multiple talents of our English Department for the enjoyment of the Simmons community. We have sponsored a series of readings by poets and writers who are also faculty members, in- cluding Leslie Lawrence, Kim Vaeth, Lowry Pei, and Lance Dean, in addition, we have co- sponsored with the English Dept. readings by professional writers from outside of Simmons. We hope to perpetuate Simmons ' commitment to the literary arts. Members: Nancy Shohet, President; Gailyc Sonia, Amy Fustanio, and Fiona Moore. Mathematics Liaison The Mathematics Liaison is an important link between the mathematics faculty and stu- dents interested in the discipline. The group is very active in pro- moting lectures which introduce the Simmons Community to new and exciting scientific advance- ments. It also takes on a more so- cial role in organizing enjoyable activities to bring students and faculty together. The efforts of this special liaison help to develop a unique relation- ship and a smoother communica- tion between students and fac- ulty. This is a very important part of giving Simmons students the best possible experience in their pursuits of a mathematical educa- tion. y «« ' ■ • H • ♦ I ' W V 1 ,. |y k I i ¥ Members of the Mathematics Liaison Clubs 133 Role reversal at Simmons spotlights racism For one day, white students experience a taste of South African apartheid Members: Betsy Quint — President, Karen Blank — Vice President, Audra Garling — Secretary, Holly Badger — Treasurer, DeeDee Plate — Public Re- lations Director, Michelle St. Pierre — Freshman Class President, Katie Pillion — Sophomore Class Pres- ident, Elizabeth Sampson — Junior Class President, Jean MacFarland — Senior Class President, Heather Forbes — Advisor to Liaisons, Karen Rossi — Advisor to Academic Affairs, Val Parven — Advisor to Residence Campus, Lisa Pacheco — Advisor to Student Organizations, Zehra Schnei- der — Commuter Representative, Lisa Woolfork — Black Hispanic Or- ganization Representative. The Student Government Associa- tion has had quite an active year. Not only have they done their given tasks of supporting all student clubs and or- ganizations socially and distributing student activity fund money to the or- ganizations, but they have also man- aged to take their jobs one step further and dug deep into issues of global, educational and social impor- tance. They have given students a sense of how much collective power they do have by challenging Executive de- cisions through forums and aware- ness programs. They developed a network of col- lective organizations by keeping in touch with all organizations on campus and providing financial and social support when needed. Some of the programs SGA has worked on are the voter registration drive in the fall, where over 150 students were registered, residence campus weekend parking, South African experience and learning days, monitoring curriculum review, and the tuition forum, constitutional changes so as to include a continuing education student Representative and an Asian Student Association Representative on the Student Gov- 134 Clubs ernment Association Executive Board as well as providing an open door to all clubs and organizations who needed advice, had ideas or complaints or just needed informa- tion. Through their retreats the Execu- tive Board was trained on effective leadership skills. These skills were channeled to various organizations and classes on campus. They worked to heighten Simmons student awareness on issues of global importance (South Africa and Presidential elections), issues of edu- cational importance (curriculum re- view, student evaluations, tuition in- creases) and issues of social or stu- dent life importance (parking, secur- ity, supporting awareness weeks, sport center plans). They didn ' t work alone however. Student Government was in close contact with the President ' s office, the Dean ' s office, and the Student Ac- t ivities Office. Terri Delahunty, the advisor to the group, attended all meetings and retreats. Throughout the year she provided support and supervision. With other area college students, SGA managed to set up a United Stu- dent Government for Boston Area SGA representatives. Together, the colleges held one of the first student rallies since the sixties. This year ' s student Government Association carried out many pro- grams. But they, like other student groups were unable to solve all the problems in one short year. They began to look seriously into the issues of diversity and divestment and set the stage for years of prog- ress. This year ' s Student Government has made progress with issues, that until this year were unknown to most of the student body. They are confi- dent that this progress is extensive enough so that future SGA ' s will easily be able to pick up where this Student Government left off and push these issues until they are no longer issues on the Simmons Campus. Rally Planned by DeeDee Plate Boston area Student Government Associations are holding a rally on Wednesday, October 26 at 4 p.m. at City Hall. The purpose of the rally is to unite Boston students with regard to timely issues. SGA Polls Students Clubs 135 Student Alumnae Association The Student Alumnae Association acts as a link between the students of today and the alumnae of tomorrow. SAA brings students, alumnae, ad- ministration, and friends of Simmons College closer together by sponsor- ing events such as the Mentor Pro- gram, Head of the Charles Regatta, Regional and National Conferences, Annual Reunion Weekend and so much more! This year ' s newest addi- tion is the A.C.E. (Alumnae Cultural Enrichment) program. This program provides a gift to upperclassmen of Simmons College to subsidize tickets to various performing arts. This way students are able to enjoy all the finer things Boston has to offer BEFORE they graduate. These events benefit alumnae, students, faculty and the Simmons College Community by fos- tering a spirit of loyalty and friendship among the Simmons family.

Anyone can see the print which is outside the Trustman Art Gallery on the fourth floor. Stop by the gallery and see what ' s going on — usually something fun and worth seeing.

Tuesday night there will be a pub crawl. The students will be visiting ten different bars; including The Cask, Copperfields, Cityside, and Charlie ' s Eating and Drinking Saloon. The event is open to all Simmons students with proper identification. The event I ' ve been waiting for all year is the second Annual Pub Crawl, said senior Susan Scully. It will prove to be a blast! A barbeque on the quad is planned for Wednesday afternoon. Faculty is invited, and there will be activities for everyone to participate in. Wednesday night a trip to Nick ' s Comedy Stop is planned. Newport, Rhode Island is the destination for Thursday. Students can shop or go to the beach with their friends.

The big activity for the week is being held Friday night, which is the Commencement Ball at the Longwharf Mar- riott. Modern Pladz is the band which will be providing the music. I ' m looking forward to the ball because mostly everyone is going to be there and it will be the last hurrah, commented senior Katie McShea. Senior Laurie Weissman said, I ' m looking forward to the Commencement Ball because it will be a chance to get together with friends before graduation and tearful good-byes. Saturday there will be a Recovery Brunch in Bartol Hall, and guests are invited. . Sign up lists and tickets are at Student Activities.

Senior Week is important because it is one last chance for us to be together and not worry about classes, exams, or internships, said Senior Class President Jean McFarland. Senior Week builds class unity, commented senior Jocelyn Dudack. Senior Week insures that people will get together before graduation. It enables people to get in contact with friends before they leave, added McShea. Scully concluded, It is one last gathering before reality hits!
