I would like to thank the class of 1970 for allowing me the honor and privilege of being their Yearbook Editor. I hope that the class will look upon the ' 70 BEA- CON as the cornerstone of the Surging Seventies. The staff of the ' 70 BEACON attempted to show in this year ' s edition the enlightening and to some, frightening, unique events that college students were a part of. This year ' s staff put more than long hours into the ' 70 BEACON. They each left a portion of their feelings. I would like the class to know of the tremendous time spent in the dark room by Phil Bailey, Jim Griffin, and Dave Rohde. Our thanks go out to you. I would also like to thank Ed Pacheco, George Linsky, and Mike McNamara for their photography and administrative assistance that was greatly needed and appreciated. Once more, Jay Horowitz performed more than admira- bly as Business Editor. Because one always saves the best until the end, my utmost gratitude is extended to Linda Frawley, a unique and outstanding Editorial Assis- tant, and to Norman Thidemann, and endlessly energetic Assistant Editor. I hope that all who read the ' 70 BEACON will appreciate the time and effort spent to achieve it. 35 DEDICATION Previous dedications have traditionally been to individuals. This year, however, we are seeing a manifestation of a four or five year trend . . . The academic community can no longer bear any association to the goals and scopes of other years. The reasons are multifold, but the most obvious lies in the field of communication. It is tedious to speak specifically and impossible to mention all of the developments categorically . . . We ask permission to say only that what was changing before is now changed. And what better way to date a change than the beginning of a new decade . . . The Seventies stretch before us as improbably as any decade . . . But something in the faces and dreams of the graduates of 1970 assures us that they do not want to almost make it . . . Their expression combines fear, hope, love but most of all acceptance of the challenge ... By their means if they are the best and with their own permission if necessary. The BEACON 1970 is dedicated to the Class of 1970 . . . 36 THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE You, the Class of 1970, are graduating from Suffolk University in an age of enormous change and discovery. I hope that you have not misused the educational opportunity made available to you here, but have seized upon the maximum development of your full potential. One of the goals of your University today, as always, is to offer to the world truly civilized and cultured men and women. They are those who have learned to govern the mean, ignoble instincts with which nature burdens us, and who strive to restrain in the world about them the greed, the callousness, and the brutality which account for the bulk of mankind ' s woes. A dedicated faculty has tried to equip you with the knowledge and the values you will require to achieve these objectives. I urge you to have a creative concern for and a deep in- terest in the betterment of society and the welfare of your fellowmen. Be leaders, not followers in all that you do. There is a desperate need in our society for everyone to become more human oriented; for people to come to know and understand themselves and each other on deeper and more compassionate levels. I also urge you to live exemplary lives and to remain loyal and faithful to the lofty ideals of Suffolk University. I commend and congratulate each of you upon your accom- plishments, and sincerely hope you achieve great success in the future. Q John E. Fenton President 39 William Freeman ... FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS and then there was Bill Baird, Jack Anderson and Dick Gregory . . . One could tell by attendance, quietness and concentration in the auditorium those days that here was relevance. The people repre- senting our new ideas and speaking on the subjects that we felt unentered by the rest of Suffolk life . . . Baird presented some kind of problem to the administration — petitions signed — and he came with his assistants, advice, and de- vices. Anderson, widely syndicated on radio and other media, spoke of the Washington-Ralph Nader encounters, the phase of politics we seek to improve, and the private politics of inside Washington. Gregory, former athlete (beautiful man) somehow made us more aware of today. If we had only held onto our mixed optimism when his vibrant oration was over, depression and reality would not have been the result. 65 67 68 69 70 Vietnam Peace Day Sutra generations of the earth reduced to this quivering moment of madness gone berserk new-born flesh torn in sacrificial decayed ambition of desperate tribal chieftains mixed-up magic potion soured permitted by indifference of somnolent constituents . . . crimson christ crucified once more on flaming cross of white mans burden crying in rage for merciful death as youth in asia are set upon each other imposed death-wise of confusion, fear gore their deep gouged blood throbs thick coagulating in eyes shattered sockets swollen tongues sneer silently green broken bloated bodies rotting in hot suns stinking jungle mud slowly melt away to tangled bones refertilizing soil which still bears hope for better times to come while far away a body politic writhes bullets sear imagination of the future paranoia permeates the winds mythologies fox-trot in masquerade atrocity insane asylums convulse in laughter as great leaders discuss coitus interruptus ancient dunes befouled by civilized excretion the very air turns pale with mourning sunlight fails to reach us from the source we have forsaken in dumb nostril apathy starship earth wheels madly thru the cosmos in its searching fate to roam the hour ' s been late so long we ' re still so very far from home Robert Jahn Editor of the literary magazine From Suffolk ' s perspective the October 15 gathering was the culmination of endless hours in the cafeteria-lounge-study-music- place, several forums in the auditorium; clos- ing that month ' s activities with an unprece- dented wave of unity and interest in Some- thing Worthwhile. There were breaks in this smooth display, conspiracies talked of that were in fact, non-existent . . . But this was a new kind of purposeful en- deavor for the Majority Involved . . . Something, A Kind of Interest Recognition Awareness That Has To Continue . . . V 79 80 The Founder Gleason L. Archer was born in Great Pond, Maine in 1880. He attended the public schools in his home state and then went to Boston University, where he received his law degree in 1906. It was in the same year that he began the Suffolk Law School in by lecturing a handful of students, evenings, in the parlor of his Roxbury tenement. He served as dean of the law school for twenty one years until 1937 when the expanded institu- tion became Suffolk University and Archer was elected President ... a post that he held until his retirement in 1948. A prolific author. Archer wrote over a dozen law texts and eleven volumes of history and biography. For many years after his retirement he operated a blue- berry nursery. In the summer of 1966 at the age of 86, Gleason Leonard Archer was recalled to his Maker. 81 82 When one breaks with tradition, some people are overwhelmed with enjoyment, some are repelled with disgust, and others are totally unmoved. Little did the 1970 seniors ever forsee the unique events that were to happen before graduation. Yet, in our everchanging society, one must either bend with the winds of change or break as a tree does in a hurricane. So it is with a yearbook — for its style has been molded in traditionalism. I believe that the 1969 BEACON broke the tradi- tion, and I know that the 1970 BEACON represents even more of the new the- matic approach to yearbooks. I hope that those who read this edition will enjoy the new approach to year- books. 84 sound of bullets and fury at Kent State May 5. 1970 birthday of Karl Marx Baird accompanies SU marchers to Common Rally State House flag is lowered May 6, 1970 rally in auditorium strike committees formed May 7, 1970 first formal day of strike Holyday of Roman Catholic Obligation Numerous bomb scares May 8, 1970 second formal day of strike march to Cambridge plainclothesmen in evidence and janitorial comments of disgust The strike at Suffolk disintegrated into some kind of hope . . . A precedent was established in that first week of unity and work noticeably lacking before . . . One could perhaps forgive the carnival sounding noises . . . Get your buttons, two bits for a button . . . Somebody had to pay for Suffolk ' s red badge of courage. 85 86 FIGHT RED S STUDENTS | CONSPIRACY ANARCHY , 87 88 90 91 99 102 103 PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVE RHODE PP 86-103 104 MIKE McNAMARA 105 MIKE Mc SAMARA 106 TGS American Marketing Association Front Row — Lawrence Femino.

Once the business meetings are over, however, informal friendliness takes over, and the club conducts itself according to its original purpose of the promotion and enjoy- ment of chess. The Chess Club is open to all and to any student who wishes to join. Basic chess moves, strategies, and rules are freely offered by the regular members, and courses of higher chess skills are just as readily open.

This is true of Alpha Phi Omega because of its nature and make-up. A. P.O. is the National Service Fraternity, as such it is unique in its purpose and ideals. Its membership consists of individuals who strive to serve humanity. Omicron Eta Chapter at Suffolk University has displayed a spirit of service and friendship in all aspects of this college community. In order to maintain an open organization, individualism and diversity are essential. This is Alpha Phi Omega. 1 16 Suffolk University Chapter — Society For The Advancement Of Management. 1970 Paul McLaughlin, Steve Lillis, Mark Leonard, Paul Antonellis, Treasurer; Joseph Johnson.

TKE has become Suffolk ' s largest fraternity and one of its best leaders in all aspects of college life. Leadership is one of the most important attributes we try to instill in every member. As a social fraternity we try not only to increase the social life of all students, but to improve the quality of the social life on campus. Scholarship is an important aspect of the fraternity and fraters must maintain a good academic standing with the school. The fraternity, both national and local, stands ready to assist the school in any way it is able too. Good luck to the graduates of 1970 from Tau Kappa Epsilon. 120 Suffolk University Veterans ' Association (S.U.V.A.) New at Suffolk this year is the Suffolk University Veterans ' Association. It boasts an active membership of over fifty students, and represents nearly five hundred veterans in its ' day and evening divisions. Membership is open to all in- terested students of the university, and by virtue of being a veteran constitutes automatic membership. Its ' objective is to promote educational advancement through academic counsel- ing and to inform and aid veterans with such affairs as scholarships, National Defense Loans, outside loans, CLEP and GRE examinations, and the myriad of other problems relating to their needs. 121 Phi Alpha Tau is a national honorary, social service, communicative arts, frater- nity. The goals of Phi Alpha Tau are threefold; to foster brotherhood, to promote the interests and ideals of Suffolk University, and to further the advancement of the communicative arts. 122 THE POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB The Suffolk University Political Science Club, had a fruitful and interesting year. The most notable event was when some of it ' s members attended the Model United Nations meeting in New York. 123 PHI ALPHA THETA Dr. Sarafian, Sandra Holland. Allen Kelly, Norine Herr, Mrs. Cahill, Dr. Pather- ick, Dr. Hartmann, Professor Farley, Dr. Floyd Phi Alpha Theta is a Honorary History Fraternity for men and women, primarily organized for the purpose of recognizing excellence in the study of history. Suffolk University ' s baseball team has wound up its winningest season in memory. The homeless Rams finished the 1970 campaign with a 13-3 record and merited serious consideration for a post season tournament bid. Playing all games on the road because of lack of a home field Suffolk won its last eight games behind the effective pitching of Ron Corbett and Ken Busa and the slugging of junior outfielder Roger Neild of Chelmsford and Capt. Walter Buddy King of Dorchester. 130 The Rams were one of four New England teams being considered for the NCAA college division tournament at Old Dominion College. Va. Springfield was finally selected over the Rams, Tufts and Southern Connecticut. Coach George Doucet. in his 12th season as coach, called this year ' s Suffolk team the best I ' ve ever had. It ' s too bad we didn ' t receive a tournament bid , he observed. ' ' I think we would have done well, but I ' m awfully proud of the whole squad anyway. 131 1970 TENNIS TEAM 132 133 CHEERLEADERS 1969-70 136 Several weeks were set aside for special observance by the University and a number of their extracurricular groups . . . a first of its kind here photography exhibit annual student-faculty art exhibit a first of its kind Ibero-American exhibit a well-done lobby display of Afro-American contributions India week with the help of Dr. Petherick and her disciples Activities as these reinforce a certain spirit of a unifying nature, generally lacking. There are inherent problems in a school like Suffolk. one of these being a barrage of assorted goings on happening simultaneously. The individuals, clubs and ideas of our main lobby displays have been met with unspoken appreciation by most. We salute them and hope they will continue. SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY FEBRUARY 26, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY, A.D. On this date in History an event sacred to the annals of all that echoes Boston. Beacon Hill and their respective heritages transpired within a hillside educational watering place. This event, the third re-enactment of an apparently vital tradition, was marked by an unprecedented throng in the auditorium of the school. Unity was witnessed in the participation and response. 143 RAY CHARLES Loo VI ' The v bvij OvgY K 1 !
