T T T in i i r The Situation of Suffolk University On a column, high above the lot of Mercedes, Cadilacs and BMWs owned by our state officials, a simple bird is perched, overseeing, beyond the golden dome of the State House, the entire city of Boston. With its historic, touristic, and educational attributes, this city is different than any other in the world. It is unique. It is beautiful. It is the campus of Suffolk University. And the bird, a beacon, spreads its wings to encompass, within a small radius, the University ' s segment of this monumental city. In a southeastern flight, shoppers have an opportunity to run amuck in the glory of Filene ' s bargain basement, while taking a noon break to lunch to a foreign flavor at The Corner — the exotic smorgasbord of many different lands. Between this commercial district and the stone feathered nestling are the Springtime rolling mounds of green grass, and the Autumn multi-color leaf-covered grounds, of the Boston Common. Ever so beautiful in each season, Suffolk students can always be seen picinicing in April, or trudging through January snows from Park Street station. A quick turn views the Boston theater district, known in the trade as pre-Broadway runs. The 1978-79 season has brought entertainment such as: A CHORUS LINE, ANNIE, DRACULA, AIN ' T MISBEHAVIN ' , GREASE, MURDER AT HOWARD JOHNSONS, THE BOSTON BALLET PRODUCTIONS OF SLEEPING BEAUTY THE NUTCRACKER, THE NATIONAL DISCO AWARDS and LIZA MINNELLI. Hi .1 L Boston Common in the Spring Seperated by only an automobile path, are the Boston Common and the Boston Public Gardens. The sereneness of the Gardens is beautiful in the Spring and Summer, with the swan boats filled and gliding on their journey through the lakes surrounded with the flowers and greeness of nature. This tranquil spot is but a block from the University ' s domain. Coming closer towards the campus-circle nucleus lies the prestigious Beacon Hill, the University ' s home address. For the elite of Louisburg Square, a college in the vicinity is really beyond their horizons, ' ' but the Suffolk University Mount Vernon Building, with its rich architecture of only the colonial Beacon Hill of Boston, is located approximately one block from their handcarved marble doorsteps. For sure — to have any class with class ' ' in the Mount Vernon Building is something special. Beacon Hill is partitioned from the Cambridge section of the city (home of some wee-bit scholastics named Harvard and M.I.T.), by the Charles River — a favorite spot for sail boaters in the warm weather seasons. Along the Charles ' banks (and in the immediate Northwest area of Suffolk) is the famous Massachusetts General Hospital — frequented this past year by the late actor John Wayne. The beacon ' s left wing points to the newest of Boston ' s tourist attractions — the Faneuil Hall Market Place (Quincy Market), where one can experience and purchase the craftsmanships of Boston ' s finest, as well as taste a variety of specialty foods. North and South markets provide shops for more materialistic products. The pulse of Faneuil Hall can only by upstaged by the Boston City Hall architecture, which lies directly to the left of Suffolk University. The odd structure provides not only for city offices, but also, its mall enjoys the carts of vendors and many a city worker out to catch a few rays and a bit of fresh air at lunchtime. At a 180 degree angle, the beak of the beacon tips East, towards the Atlantic, overshadowing Suffolk University ' s future — the Ashburton Place building. This addition to the University ' s complex can contribute space for a broader student life — in these cultural surroundings and in the academics of the Colleges. Si r T L ' ■I II II : t M i A mm « a S - fin nn n n h nn mi hi! -SKBBff in nn ji f The Quincy Market plus the North Market plus the South Market equal the Faneuil Hall Market Place. ' Ml -r . T !

The accessability of public transportation to the commuting student, the nearness to places of occupation and the proximity to cultural and governmental support are undoubtably assets to our educational process. Conversely, the availability of space for expanison, the lack of parking facilities, the absence of trees, green grass and the other arboreal delights so conducive to contemplative thought, are seriously lacking. The cacophony provided by the sirens of emergency vehicles, the rumblings of the trucks of commerce, and the multitude of undefined city noises could hardly be claimed necessary adjuncts to quiet study. But there is a certain excitement in the vitality of an urban setting which cannot be duplicated in the atmosphere of the suburban or rural location — especially in this pragmatic age. It serves as a reminder of the ever present compulsion to struggle, to live and to seek enjoyment from life. It is unfortunate that we concentrate our thoughts on the influence of our surroundings on the individual without considering, as well, the influence of our individuals on their surroundings. Often the residents of our area will find a disadvantage in the presence of our students in the neighborhood without considering the personality that their residential area receives from the freshness, the vitality, and the joyful movement of the youthful personages who pass through their area, each leaving his or her mark on their lives and their surroundings. These not too carefully groomed streets would be dull indeed if the sidewalks did not echo with the quick steps and vibrant voices of our busy students. j Thomas A. Fulham Suffolk University President SAN DIEGO — WHERE THE ATLANTIC MET THE PACIFIC. For what is primarily known as a poor man ' s mode of transportation, the bicycle has developed into a Multiple Sclerosis fund raiser, with this bike-a-thon turning into a cross-country adventure for Dean Kiklis and three cohorts (Phil and Bill Sutherland, and a Billerica friend). The route began in Boston ' s Waterfront Park on June 9, and concluded in the Golden Gate city of San Francisco almost eight weeks later (August 6). The mission was to unbalance nature by joining some Atlantic Ocean water (carried by Kiklis and troupe in a vile) with that of the great Pacific. The fea t was accomplished (on a San Diego beach), but only after the cyclists crossed the width of the North American continent. Mother Nature was not kind to our friends. She seemed to bring full force against the group ' s intentions by combating their trip with constant winds and rain, and even some July snow in the 9,666 foot altitude of the Rocky Mountains. But the greatest memory of the trek could only be the morning Kiklis and his pals arose to the Sycamore, Illinois sky, and the town ' s law enforcement agents. It seems our Suffolk students were under what-proved-to-be-only suspision of grand larceny (our students - never!) After five long hours, the group was released to continue on their journey knowing no more about the details of their accusation than when they were brought in. Did this mishap dampen our pioneers ' hike? No way. It just gave them one amusing story to bring back to the University along with the great accomplishment of such a worthwhile mission (and $2000. for the M.S. cause.) LITTLE MAKES IT BIG. From Jamaica to New York to, of all places, Suffolk University, Donovan Little has brought his athletic skill. Little was recruited to Suffolk 9 4 Seniors of Interest by Athletic Director, Jim Nelson, after Nelson viewed Little ' s talents at Boston Technical High School, where Little was encouraged by his gym teacher to enter the sports of Basketball and Football. Somewhere along the line, football got pushed out of the picture, and Little has developed into professional forward material. He has become Suffolk ' s all-time leading Basketball scorer (with over 2000 career points), he was selected to the first team of the Division Three NCAA All Star team for the 1978-1979 season, and he was also selected to play in the New England Hall of Fame Game at Fairfield University. In leaving the great respect for the team he was a valued part of for four years, and in leaving the University community which has much pride in and for him, Donovan Little is faced with three options for his future: Try out for the NBA (as a guard)? Become accustomed (as a guard) first to the European Professional League? Find himself a job with his Philosophy degree? Word has it that the world will have to wait for another great philosopher, and will have to settle with a well-trained, highly skilled basketball player (maybe for the Atlantic Hawks or some other NBA League team). OUR ARCH STREET PLAYER. Margie Grogan is a multi-faceted Suffolk student. Aside from her part-time work as a Complaint Mediator for Attorney General Francis Bellotti, Margie is a member of the Arch Street Players, the singing group of St. Anthony ' s Shrine in Boston. She performs at the weekly folk mass and monthly coffeehouse gatherings held by her group. Acquiring the position required talent and the willingness to work hard. Following graduation, Margie hopes to pursue a career in investigative reporting or some aspect of journalism. j 1 T 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 1 ' 1 I T I ITT I I I I 1 T I I I I I i i 1 i mm y — r y I I 1 1 j i bri I.I T I TTT CONGRATULATIONS FROM WQ1RVED Class Rings, Inc E.A.

In the Fall (1978), in the Temple Street Mall, the rally took form by the introduction to those gathered of the serious lack of consideration of and for the students, on the part of the Board of Trustees, in three major all-student-supported areas: the reinstatement of the service scholarship (no need basis) policy; the addition of Athletic facilities in the newly purchased Ashburton Building; and a voting student representative added to the Board of Trustees (and its committees). Proposals for each were requested by the Board to be considered for, first, Committee vote, then recommendation to the full Board to vote on (if approved by the initial Committee). Each student proposal got strangled through the red tape. Service scholarships, which are financial compensation to student leaders (i.e. Suffolk Journal Editor, New Direction Coordinators, Lab assistants, etc. — seventeen positions total) for the services of their professional talents, were axed last year due to Federal restrictions on scholarships distributed based primarily on a need analysis. The proposal presented by the students for reinstatement asked the Scholarship Committee (a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees) to fund the positions as University jobs. The answer: On a cool November Friday afternoon, students rally in Temple Mall to begin strategy to be heard by the Board of Trustees. Student supporter with coffee supplied by the Gold Cross team. tuition would ultimately need to be increased to compensate for the dollars invested. (Tuition will be raised for the 1979-1980 academic year anyway.) The student-prepared request was adjusted to the Committee ' s concept (to continue to base payment for the leadership positions as need), and sent their proposal to the Board, where it was approved. This approval was for a policy which students had been previously subjected to. Somewhere, the students were pacified, then ignored. Currently, the Suffolk University Sports programs do not allow for much student support only due to the diversified fields which each team must contend with in their playing, primarily because there is no home for home games. As of date, the Men ' s Varsity Basketball team is required to use the Cambridge YMCA as its court, with Intermural Flag Football playing in the Boston Common. The Athletic facilities requested by students.to be allocated in the new Ashburton Building had been denied repeatedly to allow for more classroom space, though word has been sent that the top two floors of this new acquisition will be vacant (or possibly rented out) rather than rennovated for student use. Some believe that these serious ignorance of the Board of Trustees for the respect of the students could have been avoided if a student representative were designated as a voting member of the decison-making Board. Such a proposal was immediatley killed, but Board members countered with recommendations to discuss certain ideas with the students. Again, the Board of Trustees played dictator. When students became tired and weary of discussion with no effective results, they found it necessary to take immediate action. The Board, not knowing wh at to expect next after two additional rallies, and with worry of poor publicity for the University while these protests were being locally covered by newscasters, was forced to cancel and postpone their meetings. Student requests had been placed on hold for the last time, as they became MAD AS HELL, AND WEREN ' T GOING TO TAKE IN ANYMORE! Within the first two weeks of the Spring (1979) semester, in the January cold, their frustrations turned to strike — and the boycotting of classes. The two-day picket showed a total of over two hundred students marching with posters and vocalizing chants to promote the rights for all students — even for those few who dared (or were forced by purposely scheduled class assignments) to cross through the circle of their friends. Again, local television news covered the event, embarrassing the University image. But if that was what had to be done to be heard by the Board of Trustees, then . . . What did all of these united student actions accomplish? Local news coverage. An unnerved Trustee President. An embarrassed University President. A few large egos. Quite a few cases of the flu. Two days of empty classrooms. A new Committee for students Trustees to discuss . And continued disconcem for the Suffolk-educated students by the now-student-distrusted Suffolk Board of Trustees. Archer protesters are watched by security and by administrator Dean D. Bradley Sullivan. Mount Vernon strikers march in the January snow and cold temperatures.

We didn ' t know anything about coordinating University programs, and, like too many college women of today, our knowledge of the Women ' s Movement was limited. We ' ve learned a lot and have tried to share our knowledge and experience with as many as we could reach. Programs this year ranged from the presentations of original research and work done by women at Suffolk in the form of training seminars, to women support group meetings, to our by-now-infamous concert with Shirli, and to a continued variety of lectures and presentations. The newsletter blossomed during the year, with so many responding to the call for help. Our volunteers kept us going. We say thank you and ask for you to carry on in support of women — whether it ' s here again next year or outside. Carol Robb speaks at Festivities From Student Activities With a determination to make attending Suffolk University more than just a book-education, Bonita Betters-Reed, Director of Student Activities, her staff, and the Student Government Association have organized and provided the college community with a variety of extra-curricular events during the 1978-79 academic year. SPEAKERS: Individual orgainzations departments within the University have sponsored numerous special lectures for students, but the Student Government Association was able to attract some strange talents, such as those of Animal House co-author, Chris Miller. Bringing with him his infamous Faber College-boy image, Chris Miller discussed the 1978 big grossing movie ' s origin (based on two short stories, which were the beginnings of an unfinished book), as well as his future, a sequel to Animal House, Sons of Animal House, maybe; the untold Chris Miller Story; more prose; and more movies. Under a Halloween-time invitation, author of In Search of Dracula, Professor Radu Florescu, educated students on the misinterpreted superstitions of Count Dracula of Transylvania, stating that though the Count derived much pleasure for the torture of people, he did not drink blood. In Rumania, Florescu ' s homeland, Dracula is more a hero to the knowledgable, though the legendary superstitions of villanous vampires exists to date among the peasants, who still sleep with garlic cloves tucked securely under their pillows each night. Boston ' s Evening Magazine star, Marty Sender, visited Suffolk turf (at the request of the Journalism department) to offer inside facts of being an on-screen and behind-the-scenes journalist, for he has serviced both fields — as executive producer of the WBZ-TV Eyewitness News at 6 and 11 and as Robin Young ' s partner-host of the Evening show.

Ideas for stories come through mail, phone calls, friends and a number of other places. Will they ever run out of ideas? The lists of ideas ( File cabinets full of ideas we still haven ' t done ) will probably out-live the show! Boston Channel Seven newscaster John Henning bluntly refused to lecture. He wanted to talk Journalism with Suffolk students, and their questions carried the scale of subjects from new management at Channel Seven to Hennings opinions of other local newcasters. As in all media — Henning advised, You ' re only as good as your next newscast. Anyone can be good at exciting stories. But you have to make the dull stories interesting. That ' s the test. In radio personalities, WBCN disc jockey Charles Laquidara and WBZ Sports talk show hosts Lobel and Bell, brought their individual styles to the University. Laquidara, BCN ' s crazy morning d.j., quipped, however unconventionally, through his discussion of many interesting subjects — for example: The availability of broadcasting jobs. to which he responded, There are a few ways to get into broadcasting. It ' s tough. Of course, if you ' re a woman, there ' s one way ... WBZ ' s Calling All Sports team, Bob Lobel and Upton Bell, spoke on Objectivity in Sports Media, stressing their own show ' s argument about sports as a major role in society.

A Feast of Spring First prize for the evenings Talent Show was awarded to singer Renata Paratore. Forgetting, at least for that evening, the upcoming crush of final exams, Suffolk University students filled the Auditorium on Friday, May fourth, for the annual Springfest talent show — an evening of song and merriment to celebrate the coming of Spring. Director of Admissions, William Coughlin, was once again, the most competent master of ceremonies, and as usual, he helped everyone catch up on their favorite soap opera (this year it was Days of Our Lives ). The evening included songs, disco dancing, a magic act, a parody of the State of the Union address, and Suffolk ' s version of the satirical Weekend Update of television ' s Saturday Night Live. Winners in this year ' s Talent Contest were: First prize — Renata Paratore and Mark Ledwell with their Over the Rainbow Cabaret medley; Scott S. Williams and Stephen R. Barter, guitarists, captured second prize with their own compostion, Keeper of the Light; ' ' and third place went to The State of the Union Address starring Rock D ' Errico, George Patterson, Jack Reilly, Tom Barraford, and Don Lahey. After the show, the audience and performers were moved to the Cafeteria for a festive reception of food and the presentation of the awards (for the talent contest, a photography contest, a baking contest and an art contest — all a part of the Springfest). In the Photography area, Laura Bernard won first place, Gloria Arrango took second, and Beacon Yearbook photographers, Shirley Thompson and Brian Kirrane tied for third place. Art awards were issued to Stephen Connoly, first, Ken Goodman, second, and Catherine Madden, third. Then the results of the baking contest: in the Something Tasty category, Carla Bairos and Darcy Lincoln were the winners; and in the Something Sweet bakeries, Joanne McTiernan and Fran Guida took the prizes. Also that evening, a special presentation was made to Dr. Ilsa Fang, professor of Modern Language, in recognition of her retirement. Officers of the Modern Language Club and the History Society along with Suffolk University President, Thomas A. Fulham, made the presentation. For all who attended, it was the beginning of a very, merry, Spring.

Fulham stated that it was not a day for the administration, but a day for the students. ' ' And so the Suffolk University community, comprised of teachers, students, and administration and staff members, assembled to give recognition to the students who have surpassed all the rest in one way or another. Some even earned more than one honor, in more than one field. First came the Delta Alpha Pi academic honorary society awards. Sixty-three students from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Business Administration were honored for their outstanding academic performance during their four years of higher education. Dean Michael Ronayne of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences presided at this part of the ceremony and was assisted, along with Dean Ronald Sundberg, by the chairpersons of the respective departments. These society students are: Siri Aarons, Beatrice L. Botelho, Neil G. Buckley, Karen M. Button, Fred Callahan, Ruth Campbell, Diane J. Capossoli, Elaine M. Coffey, Edmund J.

The Delta Sigma Pi Unsung Hero Award was presented to Robert Mello, and the Alumni Student Athletic Award was given to Richard Williams. The highest class and college honors awards were presented to James J. Evans and Karl Mayer for Seniors; Gail Sullivan and David I. Hurwitz for Juniors; Judith Pereira and Susanne M.

Rosenthal and argaret M. O ' Neill were recognized by the Ipha Delta Sigma Honor Society. Jean DeAngelo was named (and most rightfully so) Outstanding Student of the ear. The gathering held some of the magic of an Academy Award night, but there was not the usual air of expectation in the audience, for all the recipients were informed of their honors prior to the day ' s activities. But still, the warm spring air circulating through the foyer and through the Temple Street Mall warmed the parents and friends of these honored students. All wore proud smile. For some mothers, there were a few misty eyes, brushed away before noticable, but all in all they knew why they were there. Not for sadness, but like the Administration, they were there to recognize their own outstanding student of 1978-1979 at Suffolk University. MARYANN CONROY Director of Student Activities, Bonita Betters-Reed, hands Who ' s Who recipients Tom Elias and Stephen Finn their certificates at the Recognition Day program. TWENTY-SIX IN WHO ' S WHO The honor of being elected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities ' ' is conferred by more than one thousand schools in all fifty states and the District of Columbia and is symbolized by the presentation of the award certificate at Recognition Day (April 26, 1979). Selection to Who ' s Who are made each fall by a committee composed of faculty, administration and students. Selection is based on a combination of cumulative average and leadership and participation in extra curricular activities, including membership in clubs, active service on school committees, active contribution to school publications and officer status within a club or organization or publication. In addition to the certificate, each student chosen will have his her biography presented in the 1978-1979 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. The following are a list of those candidates who have made such a contribution to the University: Kathy Ahern, Deborah Banda, Neil Buckley, Mario Capano, Anne G. Clark, David M.

When the hit Broadway play ANNIE stopped in town this past Fall, it seems the little lass may have left some of her exclamatory reptile friends to crawl over to Suffolk University. But actually, we loaded our Nikon and asked several student leaders to provide us with a lasting moment of sheer insanity. Following in the tradition of The Jumping Book, where a photographer captured famous people in mid-air expressing their free personalities, our friends were jumping for joy (it was irresistable) to be included in the idea. Now, when these leaders become world-known professionals, these pages can provide evidence of their natural tendencies to be human. Rams captain, Steve Forlizzi, tries to score against Clark University. Athletics Without A Home Suffolk Harrier in Cross Country trek. Nineteen-hundred-and-seventy-nine began as a year full of high hopes and great expectations for many of Suffolk University ' s Athletic teams. However, the sport year ' s end would find all of these hopes dashed, as not one team was able to qualify for post-season play. All-student participation in Flag Football. , - 5ifi2 The year began on an up note with the Women ' s Tennis Team capturing its first match of the season against Eastern Nazarene College. But then the women ' s season turned into a trial of love (which in tennis terminology means the Big 0) as they failed to win another match, with a final 1-11 record for the season. A new schedule and coach were not enough to prevent Suffolk ' s Cross Country Harriers from following in the footsteps of the previous year ' s squad, as the team ran its way through a winless season. And the Fall Golf Team found that tee time was better to have been avoided, as it struggled through a series of disappointing performances. Much of the interest for school athletics in the Fall was generated by the Intramural Sports Program, which allows for everyone to participate. The fight for the Flag Football title was staged between the Bones, who had defeated the Raiders in the play-off semi-finals, and the Smoothies emerged the victors, with only twelve seconds remaining in the contest, to capture their second consecutive Flag Football Championship. Massacre (Basketball) gained the Intramural Basketball Championship, and a free trip to Rhode Island to represent Suffolk in the Schlitz Intramural Olympics, after having had a hard-fought 51-49 decision over the Unbeatables had squeezed by the Gorkes by one point to move into final competition. Massacre lost in the first round of play while in Rhode Island. In Suffolk University Varsity Basketball play, height, or lack of it, was a real problem as both the Men ' s and Women ' s teams trudged through rather poor seasons. ■ ' ■ ' r 7 ■ ' . 1 .

The team was hurt by the lack of gym facilities, for they had to play every one of their fifteen games on the road. Overall, however, the squad managed to improve upon last year ' s 1-9 record, as they finished this season at 4-11. Women ' s Basketball team with Coach Jay Lupica. The Men ' s Team had much the same problem. With none of their five guards over six feet, and a comparitively short frontcourt, the Rams had a problem with the inside lanes and underneath the boards. Playing only six of their total twenty-four games at their makeshift home of the Cambridge YMCA didn ' t help the team ' s performance either. As a result, the team finished with a 13-11 record, and failed to qualify for post-season play for the first time in years. The Suffolk University Hockey squad had to once again suffer through another mentally aggravating season of non-varsity designation. This labeling has forced the Goats into very tight budget restrictions, and many skaters were not even allocated more than one stick. Also, the inavailability of ice-time for practice rinks (due to monetary restricitons, again) and no home-cie facility combined with a tougher schedule — all were to a large degree responsible for the squad ' s 8-9-1 final record. It is almost definite that the team (now a club ) will rank varsity come September. Spring Golf fared little better than its Fall counterpart, finishing the fareway scene with a 2-6 record. But for the second consecutive year, Suffolk ' s Gregg Phillips was invited to the NCAA Division Three Golf Nationals down in Hampden-Sydney, Virginia. Men ' s Tennis failed to bloom this Spring, and the season ' s end found the team strung out with a 2-8 final. Intramural Softball provided a source for on-campus athletic competition for the Spring. The Bones and the NB ' s met in the championship games after defeating Hiatus and Stiffs, respectively, in the semi-finals. The championship game itself was exemplified by some good hitting, and 1979 Baseball team: (front) Jim Gratta, John Valeri, Sean McHugh, Eric Lacolla, Anthony Gennari, Anthony Tricca, Jim Duffy, Ken Pefine.

Suffolk ' s last chance to have a team advance beyond regular season play fell through when the Baseball Rams pitched their way through an 11-7 season. Gary Donovan was a standout performer for the squad, capturing Division Three All-Star Honors. And Jim Gratto managed a first-ever-in-the-history-of-Suffolk Baseball by hitting for the cylce ( a single, double, triple, and home run) all in one game, ending the 1978-1979 year for Suffolk Athletics with at least some grand honors.

May seventeenth. The Ballroom of the Park Plaza Hotel. A night of Cinderellas, and of Prince Charmings, and of pumpkin coaches. Soft lights and music. Good company and good conversation. A night of the University year, unlike all others. Suffolk ' s social event of the season. All this describes the annual Commencement Ball, which is the highlight of Junior Senior Week activities, and to some this night is second only to Commencement Day itself in its importance. Unlike a high school prom, there was an air of sophistication, an almost blaseness to the whole thing, yet underneath there ran a current of electricity. Everywhere, there was the scent of flowers, and the mixed aromas of after-shave and perfume. This fragrant combination lended a mythical atmosphere to the night. And though it was like a fairytale, these were college students who were there to remember those who made Suffolk-life worth facing the academics. As in the past, presentations were made after dinner to honor the year ' s best student supporters (chosen by the Junior Senior Week Committee). As a final tribute, the Student Government (left) Couples: Suffolk ' s Liz DeSantis, Patty Foley, and Tom Abisalih and their escorts, (right) Student Activities Director Bonnie Betters-Reed is presented with the Outstanding Adminis- trator award by S.G.A.

Special awards were presented to Dean of Students, D. Bradley Sullivan, and to Athletics Director, Jim Nelson, for their student contributions. And the Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year was voted to Dr. Alberto Mendez of the Modern Language Department. In the student awards category, WSFR was named the Outstanding Student Organization of the Year. The Unsung Senior Award, given to the student who went unrecognized for his contributions to student life at the University, was presented to Suffolk Journal Editor, Joseph Reppucci. After the awardings, there was dancing to the music of Daybreak (and a surprise performance by Suffolk ' s Stephen Finn) until early morning, when the groups scattered this way and that into the warm night ' s air.
