SUFFOLK PEOPLE AND PLACES 3 1974-1978: A RETROSPECTIVE There is no period of time that appears as extended and distant in prospect as four years of col- lege attendance when con- templated on the day of freshman orientation. Con- versely, that same four years shrinks into a series of short memory flashes when recalled a year following graduation. Of course, this statement suffers, as do all generalities, when indi- vidual experiences are lumped for historical purposes; but it may be stated with more than a mod- icum of truth. The years 1974 to 1978, when viewed against the turbulent period that preceded them, could be characterized as confused in the beginning and purposeful at the end. Student attitudes in 1 974 were mixed. There were serious doubts on the value of an educa- tion. There was great hesitancy in choosing career goals for there remained segments of the great crusades of the late sixties and early seventies. These aims post- ulated that only social goals were of any value and dedication to world peace, elimination of world hunger and injustice alone could satisfy mankind as educational goals. It may be said with some cer- tainty that by 1978 the situation has changed. The dedication of youth to justice has not been elim- inated and never will be. For love, hope and the will to improve our social attitudes and environment are special to the young and es- sential to our periodic renewal. But, existing in a co-equal post- ure is a more pragmatic realiza- tion that energetic group idealism will not accomplish what can be done by the perfection of per- sonal skills in preparation for a well occupied and personally productive life. We should never ignore the impact of external influence on the individual. It is difficult to live through Watergate, the resigna- tion of a Vice President, the forced resignation of a President, the celebration of the Bicenten- nial and the shock of the energy crisis without being profoundly moved through cynicism, indig- nation, anger, great joy and seri- ous concern. We learned that power-hungry, small-minded men can tamper with revered institutions to such an extent that faith in the founda- tions of our republic can be se- verely shaken. We learned as well however, that our land and its time-tested government were harmed only in our minds. These offending individuals were shunted to the sidelines with no apparent damage to the demo- cratic system that has ennobled us in our concern for each other and the life we lead which is still the envy of the world. The 200th birthday of our na- tion which occured in the middle of your college career was really remarkable for its- outburst of joyous patriotism. Celebrated as it was at thousands of local civic parties, it provided a respite from turmoil and protest. The nation was ready to pronounce with grass roots sincerity that our constitution has stood the test of 200 years of assault and interpre- tation and has emerged as the bulwark of freedom and the creed for just self-government. Had the Divine Architect pur- posely place the Bicentenacry where it occurred in our history it could not have happened at a better or more necessary time. Rather than an end, it served as a beginning, a moment in the de- velopment of our nation to heed the events of the recent past and commence the building of the fu- ture. Time alone will tell, but 1975-1976 could be the entre acte period that marked the end of the wide open, expansionist, laissez-faire, non-personal years of American social and industrial history. When I was a boy, we were taught in geography and civics that the United States was capa- ble of any expansion that the creativity and ambition of its citi- zens could devise. We were told that the riches of the sea, the oil and minerals of the land, the timber of the forest, the size and quality of our lakes and streams were sufficient to support our children and our children ' s chil- dren. To be sure, there were some words of caution spoken quietly by a small number of thinking persons, but sobriety did not have popular appeal. Now, a mere fifty years later, we can count the number of our fishes, measure our oil and min- erals, record the limits of the productivity of our forests and seek to discover new sources of and a means of purify our waters. We are discovering to our chag- rin what has been known in Europe for centuries, that physi- cal resources must be used care- fully; and even more importantly, that individual life styles must be tailored to live within those re- sources. In many ways this may be good, fot it will focus our at- tention on the one unlimited re- source available to all — the in- telligence and creativity of our people. During your academic career, you shared the new realization that learning is a lifetime experi- ence. You were able to share the joy of a man who earned his bachelor ' s degree at the age of four score year and two and to attend class with contemporaries of your parents and grandpa- rents. This was thrilling for them and enriching for you. America had rediscovered a new and excit- ing resource. In all, you experienced four years of inevitable change that ran the gamut of the emotions — from hostility to happiness. These were lessons learned, some tri- vial, some great, but all contribut- ing to a lasting memory of an ex- citing period of discovery and new wisdom. THOMAS A. FULHAM PRESIDENT OF SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY TEMPLE PLACE MALL With fundings from the City of Boston, the State of Mas- sachusetts, the Federal govern- ment, Suffolk University, resi- dents and a few other sources; with the labor supplied by P.V. Barone Corporation; with design by James McNeely of Beacon Hill; and with the assistance of Boston Edison, when a steam- main problem arose — the Tem- ple Place Mall, Beacon Hill ' s first pedestrian street, was dedicated on December 16, 1977 with many of its residents and Suffolk stu- dents in attendance. Originally named Tay Street in 1737 and designated as a one way street in 1936, Temple Place is now considered by its commu- nity a promenade (allowing only emergency vehicles.) However, as far as the City of Boston is concerned, Temple Place is still recognized as a one-way, traffic bearing street. THE SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP •J i For seven years, the Student Government President, WSUB WSFR Station Managers, New Direction Coordinators and many other highly responsible leaders of organizations were granted service scholarships, as compen- sation for the incredible time and effort that each job requires. This year, with the University ' s estab- lishing a position of Financial Aid Director (previously financial aid came under the responsibilities of the Dean of Students), and for the purpose of filing for addi- tional Federally funded aid, the need for the service scholarship was questioned. Service scholarships are monies given to qualified stu- dents who fill a job, which re- quires certain skills, and which would ordinarily require profes- sional people. Under the auspices of the Dean of Students, D. Brad- ley Sullivan, the service schol- arship had always been assumed to accompany the key leadership positions. But no official certifica- tion between the two had ever been established by the adminis- tration. With no concern for the students, the Board of Trustees, at a closed-door meeting held in mid-1977, discontinued all ser- vice scholarships and requested that such effected position be fil- led with financially needy indi- viduals. Because of University commitments to the already elected or appointed people for the positions, it was not possible to cut-off fundings for the 1977- 78 year. As the academic year began, Student Activities Director, Bon- nie Betters-Reed, began a cam- paign — along with the leaders of the effected organizations — to find other avenues to fund these positions. The first attempt came in early February (1978) when S.G.A. President, John C. Bartley, presented an appeal from his group to the board of trustees. The appeal was not granted a hearing. Shortly following this de- feat, a five-and-one-half page proposal was delivered in person to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees by Betters-Reed, for his comments. This request asked that the positions (sixteen in all) be funded as part-time jobs through the Student Activities of- fice. First comments by the Ad- ministration were that they could not afford the $30,000. asked to pay for these jobs. The amount which was in their budget was $10,000. — $12,000. (an amount which would apply to five of the sixteen positions), though they did realize that to hire profes- sionals would be much more of an expense for the University. In March (1978) a decision came from the Administration that flatly refused the proposal and any other alternatives of- fered by Betters-Reed and her group. The effect of this action will devastate any future Ac- tivities ' programs, and this leaves the students to suffer. No indi- vidual can possibly hold down a part-time job (for living expenses) and be expected to produce the leadership position efficiently. There is a strong possibility that there will be no newspaper, no yearbook, no special functions, in the Suffolk community ' s future. 21 )FF OUR CAF! Suffolk Low School, in its at- tempt for accreditation by the American Bar Association and to gain membership in the American Association of Law Schools, claimed its two-year-old decision by the Board of Trustees for full occupation of the Donahue Build- ing. Lost to the undergraduates of Suffolk University was their social gathering place, the cafeteria. Not only would this small trace of a campus be eliminated, but no other pros- pects, after plans for a new Ridgeway Building (which would have housed a cafeteria) were de- feated in early 1977, seemed de- cided upon for the near future. After what appeared to be a conspiracy between SGA Presi- dent, John C. Bartley and admin- istration officials, as press and students were kept in the dark concerning future space, the an- nouncement for the possible purchase of a new building in the Beacon Hill area was made at an assembly held in the Auditorium on October 20, 1 977. To a capac- ity audience, Suffolk University President, Thomas A. Fulham; SGA President, John C. Bartley; and Senior Class President, James Mallozzi announced that a course of action was being taken, but things still appeared to be hushed where the students were concerned. By Thanksgiving (1977), Suf- folk University decided to purch- ase the 12-story building located on Ashburton Place, then hous- ing the United Way of Mas- sachusetts Bay offices, for $600,000. Within this building would be accommodations for the Colleges of Business Adminis- tration, Journalism and the Humanities. The Mt. Vernon Building, which is currently oc- cupied by these degrees, was possibly to be returned to the City of Boston for residential use. University occupation of the Ashburton Place Building will not be experienced by the graduating class (1978), nor maybe even by the graduation of the current freshman class (1981), but the students ' concerns were defi- nitely felt by the administration, as a result of the all-University meeting. 23 « SENIOR TO SENIOR In September of 1974 many of us came together for the first time to share a unique experience for better or worse that has ena- bled us to grow as individuals. During our freshman year to- gether we enjoyed the orientation of college life, while still con- tributing to the community a sense of spirit that was distinctly our own. As sophomores, we joined to- gether to fight for our share of the University. While some sec- tions of the University seemed to grow in leaps and bounds, our share became smaller with less space, more students and higher tuition. Although some members of our class left us after that year, those that remained were now becoming more intensely in- volved in every aspect of student life from theater and art to ath- letics and pinball. In our Junior year, we found the true meaning of a united col- lege when all of the prerequisite courses finally made some sense and when we settled down into our major concentrations. Unlike other Universities of our own size, where there is a common bond felt between departments or colleges, Suffolk ' s ability to join together is unique. It spreads throughout our University finding security in numbers and becom- ing stronger by its diverse mem- bership. Finally, as seniors we began to look forward to June for the new chances it would bring to us — to spread our educational wings, for which we crammed for every exam — but also an opportunity to look back to all of the Christ- mas parties, Junior-Senior Weeks, Suffolk plays and after- noons at the Red Hat. As we re- member back, we have grown as people to appreciate far more in life than we did as freshmen. We can feel confident that the Suf- folk Community is indeed a better place because we came together here to share a brief period of our lives. As for myself, serving you as President these four years has been an experience I shall long remember and cherish. Thank you for allowing me to share the Suffolk experience that will allow all of us to face the future with confidence. .

Burse Debating Society sponsors FOURTH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH ASSEMBLY 24 OVERSTUFFED CLASSES IN MAIN COURSE SLOTS Several basic introductory courses at Suffolk are over- crowded. According to the major department ' s estimates, classes held during the prime hours of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. are attended by between 75 to 85 students who cram into rooms, such as F636A and B. According to the posted city inspection certificates, the rooms should hold only 71 stu- dents. Peter Sartwell, assistant dean to the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, who declined to be interviewed, is in charge of deal- ing with cases of over-stuffed classrooms. Sartwell would not disclose if he has been working on requests for larger classrooms or if he has received complaints from faculty or students object- ing to the c ramped conditions. He did admit, however, We really need another classroom build- ing. Individually, various depart- ments are doing their best to cope with the space limitations. Government department Chair- person Judith Elmusa opened up a fifth section of the popular AMERICAN GOVERNMENT course to accomodate the over- flow of students. In her opinion, the large num- bers are accounted by the fact that several departments rec- ommend government courses ei- ther as an elective or degree re- quirement. Additionally, she says that the majority of Suffolk stu- dents work afternoon jobs, necessitating attendance in the morning. The main problem, she attests, is that there is just not enough space available to hold classes when students want to take them. Dr. Donald Fiorillo, Sociology Chairperson, illustrated the space problem by noting that ideally classes should contain be- tween 25 and 35 students. He es- timates the size of the INTRO- DUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY classes at eighty students during prime hours. The same course, offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m., has an enrollment of only 30 students, he said. The english department, ac- cording to Chairperson Stanley Vogel, has not met with any major difficulties. He congratu- lated Sartwell and Registrar Mary Hefron for a good job considering the problem with space. English courses are fil- led, he said, but are restricted to the number of seats available in a room. He says that the optimum class size is 25 students, and that no course goes beyond 30 stu- dents. Elmusa says that when teach- ing a class of 70 or 80 students, it changes the class into a lecture course, making it hard to spot individual problems, and leaving it up to the student to ask for assistance during office hours.

St rasen is taking a six month leave of absence to have her baby and said she probably would not be back. She said, however, If I miss the work, I might be back. Strasen also said that if Suffolk had a day-care center, she would have stayed. But according to her, the nearest one is in Cambridge. Strasen said she had mixed feelings about leaving Suffolk. It has been a big part in my life. Commenting on the baby, she quipped, ' I don ' t care if it ' s a boy or girl as long as it ' s healthy or easier to have, what ever comes first. Nina Gaeta WOMEN ' S TENNIS LOSES FINALE The Suffolk Women ' s Tennis Team concluded their season Tuesday night (10 15) with a loss to the Stonehill Women ' s Tennis Team, who lost only one match this season. The season record for Suffolk was 0-7. Even though we didn ' t win one match this year we played some good games, said Coach Ann Guilbert. The scores don ' t show how they play. This year ' s team had cool moves, she said. The big emphasis is that we played a lot better but we just couldn ' t get that one point. We didn ' t get wiped away like last year. Ann has a positive outlook for next year ' s team. Unfortunately three of her top players will be graduating with the class of ' 78. There are Penny Eustace, Karen Kelleher, and Justine Collins. Looking ahead, the team looks much better for next year, says Eustace. A lot of returning students, which means experi- ence, is the main factor of a heal- thy team.

Maintenance man William Gif- ford discovered the damage at approximately 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 Gifford said he was in the first stage of repairing the original damage and was going to paint it when he discovered the holes. The original damage had been caused early in the semester when two disc jockeys were fool- ing around and fell through the wall. Disc jockeys Bob Raso, Larry Langone, and John Hannon repaired the wall. Maintenance said we did a ' good job, ' Raso stated. However, Gifford said he decided to do the job on his own and that ' s why I was repairing it again. Gifford said he saw one person around at the time of the vandal- ism. He added that he checked with the Student Activities Office, and was told the person was cleared. Student Activities Director Bonita Betters-Reed said WSUB station manager Vicki Fiske re- ported the incident to her the next morning. The administration said they wouldn ' t pay for it. They have already paid for it once. Betters-Reed said she hopes the students will fix it themselves, and has asked for volunteers. I would hate to have to take the money out of the security deposit fund. They won ' t be able to get their money back, she added. Fiske called security and, ac- cording to her, Faren said there was nothing he could do. Fiske has also asked for volunteers to help repair the wall. TKE has of- fered some building supplies they had left over after fixing their own office, she said. Student Government Associa- tion (S.G.A.) President JohnC. Bartley said, It ' s a small minor- ity of students that do these things. The students are upset, and the fraternities are being blamed. Bartley also stated that the vandalism was a definite act of immature defiance.

They are: Mohamed S. Barrie, Jon Beale, Deborah Bonanno, Kenneth J. Chester, David Coscia, Jean DeAngelo, Monica Duffy, Brian Greeley, Carol Merullo, John Nicolopoulos, Donald Or- cutt, Philip Santoro, Alfred To- rissi, and Anthony Rassias. Gold Key President James Brown said that Vice President and Treasurer Francis X. Flan- nery and former Student Ac- tivities Secretary Pamela Strasen were made honorary members of the society. Brown said that between 55 and 60 people were present in the auditorium to witness the Tap- ping in of the inductees. Presi- dent Thomas A. Fulham and sev- eral members of the faculty were also present. Although the keys were late in coming from the jewelers, Brown said the inductees received a cer- tificate of award from the society award is like receiving the al- truism award; for unselfish con- cern for others. Brown added that the keys would be in within three days. The new members will also get their names en- graced on the plaque that lists all Key members. Brian Greeley (Speech ' 77) said it was a great honor. Greeley stated that he was glad the soci- ety is spreading out, and knew I had a shot for it when I first found out about the society. Kenneth J. Chester (Account- ing ' 80) said he felt really good and surprised when he was notified of the recognition. He said he was glad he has the abil- ity to recognize other people now. I ' d like to get the chance to say to someone, ' Hey, you did a good job. ' Mohamed S. Barrie (Criminal Justice ' 77) stated he was proud and happy of getting the award. I think it will add to my honor and prestige. He views the Gold Key as an exception society. Barrie said the society should help motivate the students to try to do their best. Jean DeAngelo ( ' 79) said, I felt really honored. I tried really hard to fill my capacity in doing a good job. Donald Orcutt (Speech ' 79) stated that he thought it was nice to be honored and that he did not have any idea of his nomination. It will look good on my resume. Orcutt said that it was too bad more people did not know it existed, but now more people will strive to get the award.

MINI-COURSE MAY BE IN SU ' s FUTURE Mini-courses may be coming to Suffolk in the near future, accord- ing to SGA Sophomore Rep. Kevin Scott, chairperson of the SGA ' s Mini-course committee. Scott, Junior Class President Tom Elias, Sophomore Rep. Steve DaCosta, and Freshman President Lissa Pancare comprise this committee which is evaluat- ing the practicality of such a pro- gram at Suffolk. A students and faculty survey has been planned for the next week or two (early March). The survey will be designed to intro- duce the concept of mini- courses to the Suffolk communi- ty, as well as to determine what courses should hold priority in such a program. A Mini-course program would run from four to six weeks, and would consist of both prac- tical and enjoyable non-credit courses. Such courses could con- sist of Cardiopulmonary Resusci- tation (CPR), Mixology (Bartend- ing), and Speed Reading, among others. The survey will include a list of courses for students and faculty to choose from. A listing of times will also be made available. Scott said the purpose of the survey will be to find out if people are interested in a mini-course pro- gram, and just what courses they would be interested in. Faculty and students will also be asked if they have any special skills to volunteer to the program to insure its success. If volunteer teachers for the program can be found, then costs to the student can be kept to a minimum.

Bradley Fields, young short redhead, demonstrated illusions as an elusive part of reality. Fields brought his craftsman- ship and performed numerous acts both typical and original be- fore 200 persons. The event was sponsored by the SGA Program Committee. Among his pursuits, Fields levi- tated his female assistant, then made her disappear. He later performed a Houdini-style es- cape from a chained box, ex- changing places with his assis- tant locked inside. One of the most c limatic events was the coin-plucking trick. Fields grabbed numerous half- dollar coins out of midair. Then after dancing around and collect- ing more coins from his ears, fin- gers, and the floor, he placed them into a metal bucket, empty- ing it into the air where it changed into silver dust. Fields ' act progressed fluently and he carried on like a minstrel in a gallery. He was able not only to amaze Suffolk students but also witfully provoked laughter during his performance. At one point, he invited four people to pick cards. He then placed all but one of the cards, which belonged to a law profes- sor, into a glass. Using some mysterious power, Fields, stand- ing several feet away, raised and identified each card except that of the law professor. The last card was discovered in a balloon sitting on the side of the stage. Fields believes that there are imaginary corners in space where objects, like his half-dollars, ap- pear and disappear. In a poetic sense, Fields pur- sued abstract principles, appa- rently influenced by his college studies in philosophy, with the symbols he creates with Chinese rings. He astonishingly inter- locked ring after ring making the sign of the Olympic symbol. Ul- timately, Fields purveyed cosmic sense of oneness of the universe when all the rings interlocked into one. Fields ' interest in the craft of magic began at the age of 14 when he became an apprentice to a magician. After he developed his own style, Fields went on to tour clubs not only in the United States but has also appeared on television in England and festivals in France.

Region One consists of New England, New York, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Dela- ware. Chosen along with the Journal in the same category were the Daily Collegian of Pennsylvania State University and the Ram of Fordham University, New York City. The same three newspapers were also selected for last year ' s award, with the Journal taking third place, the Daily Collegian second and the Ram taking top honors in the region. The first, second, and third place finishers will receive their awards at the society ' s regional convention in Hershey, Pa. on April 22. MARKETING ASSOCIATION IN AD CONTEST Five members of Suffolk ' s American Marketing Association will compete for honors in an ad- vertising competition later this month. The AMA was allocated $145 for materials to be used in the competition at the Council of Presidents meeting this week (April 14). In a similar contest last year, the AMA placed first in the District- 1 competition. The team then went on to place third in the national finals. Thirteen respec- tive district winners competed in the finals. This year ' s competition, spon- sored by the American Advertis- ing Federation, will be held at the University of Bridgeport, Conn, on April 29. The subject of this year ' s com- petition is the soft drink Sprite. Included in the competition are plans for sales promotion, pic- tures and slide presentation, ad- vertising literature, and a book- let. Competitors are also ex- pected to justify money that would be spent in any area of their advertising campaign by statistics. Marketing Club President Lee Simard encouraged interested Suffolk students to attend the competition to show support for the Suffolk team. Jerry Healy 101 CLUBS, FRATS, ETC.

BURSE DEBATING SOCIETY This club is organized for the purpose of developing and mas- tering the various techniques of argumentation and oral com- munication. After working on campus, members participate in intercollegiate debate and speech tournaments at other colleges and universities in the eastern and midwestern United States. You probably aren ' t aware of it, but in 1976-1977 Suffolk ranked seventh in the nation in overall debate and speech tour- nament competition. During the last three years, Suffolk students have won more than 300 trophies and awards by competing in over 100 debate and speech tourna- ments throughout the nation. A Suffolk debate team won the 1977 National Junior Varsity De- bate Championship at Kent State University. Suffolk University de- bate teams have debated in al- most 1 100 intercollegiate debate rounds. They won 52 percent of those competitions. Debators from Suffolk have defeated teams representing such institu- tions as the University of Alabama, Harvard, Ohio State, The United States Military Academy, Cornell, UCLA, Georgetown, Boston College, MIT, and Dartmouth. This program is co-sponsored by the Department of Student Activities and the Department of Communications and Speech.

INTRODUCING: THE HELLENIC CULTURAL CLUB One of Suffolk ' s livliest new organizations is the Hellenic Cul- tural Club, founded in the Fall (1977) by its recent president, Anna Drallios (now studying for one semester in Greece) and by its vice-president, Nea Trypousis. The HCC featured a Greek Classical movie ANTIGONE, guest speakers and its first Greek Night — a big success — with Greek food, music and belly dancers. Spring semester promises more lively entertain- ment with Greek Folk dancers, guest speakers on Greece ' s re- cent and past history, a guided museum trip to Study Greek an- tiquities, an evening out at the Averoff Restaurant, movies, and always a lot of just plain fun. The Club is proud of its thirty-three new members and the list is ex- panding. Current officers are Nea Trypousis, PRESIDENT: Mary Wright, VICE PRESIDENT: the SECRETARY and TREASURER are to be elected. The HCC wel- comes new members and en- courages students to drop by the Club ' s office at RL14. 115 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CLUB The aim and purpose of the club is to acquaint foreign stu- dents with U.S. culture and U.S. students with foreign culture, and to create common bonds be- tween international students in the Suffolk University Communi- ty. Another purpose is to provide guidance to foreign students re- garding U.S. government pro- grams or requirements such as visa problems, extension stay in the country, and how to obtain permission for employment while maintaining your student status. Membership is open to every Suffolk University international student and all U.S. citizens who are current day division under- graduates. Any foreign student with problems should seek the advice of the president of the club. To apply for membership contact the president, via the Student Activities Office. Club activities include sight- seeing tours, inter-national group discussion with host families, other international agencies, such as the World Affairs Coun- cil, the United Affairs Council, the United Nations Association of Greater Boston, the Park Street Church International Groups, dinner parties and a great many more social events.

Sarafian Marco Morals Mercedeh Shahbedaghi Essam Alzahed V. PROFILE: PHILIP SANTORO We all take for granted the fact that the Suffolk Journal comes out every Friday morning. Bas- ketball, baseball, tennis and in- tramural players search the small type and box scores for their names. Partiers search the Up Temple Street column for the next happening. Student Government members see how their meetings were covered. Faculty and administration see what the student body is up to. The editorials and news serve each member of the Suffolk Community, attempting to give students the truth about what is happening around and to the school. Perhaps that is what makes the Journal the number one college paper in New Eng- land, according to the Society of Professional Journalists — the Journal ' s philosophy has been this year to relate the truth to the students, to inform them, to edu- cate, sometimes to lead them, always to serve them. We take all of this for granted. Yet in putting out a weekly paper, many people must work hard. Reporters must dig below the sur- face. Photographers must cover the important events and meet- ings (which all seem to occur at one p.m. on Tuesday and Thurs- day.) The copy must be edited and corrected and counted. Rie paper must be laid out. The gal- leys must be proof read, etc. etc. Many people contribute, but there is one man who is responsi- ble for everything, and that is the editor, Phil Santoro. Unless you actually see it, there is no way to imagine the amount of work that the editor must do to put out even a mediocre paper. And the Jour- nal is a good paper. Suffice it to say that Phil puts in a sixty hour week. We are lucky to have had someone this dedicated to serve us as editor this year. He has given of himself unfailingly dur- ing his years at Suffolk, and this space is dedicated to him, in grateful acknowledgement, from the Class of 1978 and from all of the members of the Suffolk Community.

Phi Sig chapters are located from coast to coast. PROFILE: JOHN C. BARTLEY One of the most difficult situa- tions in management is to keep an organization morally cohesive while the work gets done. John Bartley had the uneviable task this year of bringing together a schizophrenic student legislature with more persoanlity and iden- tity conflicts than Sybil. And he made it work rather smoothly. The Student Government As- sociation, as usual, got the par- ties and events off just fine, thank you. But the academic problems — tuition increase, service schol- arship abolition, cirriculum changes — were never seriously addressed. By his own admission, it was difficult to get the legislature to agree on the issues, let alone how to deal with them. But I can ' t fire anyone for not doing the work, because they were elected by the students, not appointed by me, he said in confidence. So, I have to do the best with what I ' ve got. And so he did. It ' s interesting to note that when the administration backed the SGA into a corner, they came out swinging. The proposal to re- convert the university cafeteria into two law school classrooms was not only squashed by the in- sistence of the SGA, but the group also forced the administra- tion to move quickly to find addi- tional classroom space. Thus, the purchase of the United Way building became a news story. For three frustrating years Bartley fought a battle for in- creased space in the university. He met with real estate consul- tants, city officials, architects and the university administration to realise the perpetual quest. Be- fore I leave this school, he said in the fall of 1977 during the height of his frustration, we ' re going to get another building. For the school, Bartley exe- cuted an ongoing desire to ex- pand university facilities while maintaining a diplomatic rela- tionship with respective adminis- trators. What made things easier for his constituents and his fellow students was that he solicited their opinions and ideas and in- corporated them with his own everytime out.

Recognizing the current debate concerning is- sues relating to women, the Center endeavors to provide a forum for women at Suffolk to enter into this debate, to under- stand the issues, and to fully dis- cuss their ramifications as they relate to individuals and to soci- ety as a whole. Believing in the versatility and creativity of individuals and the increasing challenges presented by a technological society, the Center views education as a prime focus for its energies. Through education it hopes to raise the level of awareness of women and men to an under- standing and appreciation of women, their potentialities and the many opportunities available to them so that each may be able to live a full and satisfying life. The Center, therefore, sponsors a wide range of programs each year. 129 TAU KAPPA EPSILON Tau Kappa Epsilon is a social fraternity which serves Suffolk as a unifying agency dedicated to creating liason between students and the University at large.
