1 . I Fetch!! Boxed Where else could one learn about the Geneva Peace talks by attending them, or go hang-gliding with President Mayer over Le Lac Annecy Talloires, France. One of Tufts most popular programs — Tufts in Washington offers those in¬ terested in politics a chance to view Con¬ gress while it is in session. Proof positive that a Tufts education is truly unique, is the relationship between faculty and students. Professors make it a point to be accessible to the student body beyond their office hours, which creates a close, less formal association. Students, professors and administrators often become friends, in class and out. It is the norm for professors to make available their home phone numbers for questions and problems. Beyond the classroom, it is nothing to ask Sol, Kathy or Robyn to lunch. One can always depend on Bruce or Jim when there’s a problem in a dorm, and we musn’t forget those nighttime calls from Don, “I hope I haven’t called too late?”, Bobbie, who always enjoys coming over to the dorms to bake some of her apple pies with the residents and of course our beloved President, who is “Jean” behind his back. If one were to ask, what is Tufts? Hopefully the answer would be a simple statement, enlightening. We would all like to believe that we are scholars, but we aren’t. This does not mean we do not have the potential to be scholars. Poten¬ tial is what Tufts is all about. It is an in¬ stitution which provides a means to self improvement, both socially and academically. To all who walk the paths of the Academic Quad, or through the halls of its many buildings, and into the classrooms of its outstanding faculty, Tufts offers a key to the future, education. Buzz

Courtney Ward, M. Toon Pay to the order of the Trustees of Tufts College . . . Does that look familiar to you? It should, you write it every time you make any type of payment to Tufts University (and that includes parking tickets). Well these are the people who cash your checks. These are the Trustees. Now in the future, we’ll probably have a message from the Board (or perhaps from Dr. Callows the Chairman), much in the same way that we have messages from President Mayer and Provost Gittleman. However, because this is the first time the trustees have ever appeared in a Jum¬ bo yearbook, we felt there should be something written about them instead of something written by them. Our Trustees are very special people. Unlike Trustees at other institutions, our Trustees care. They care about Tufts, they care about student opinion, and they go to great lengths to solicit student input. The semi-annual luncheon with the TCU Senate gives trustees and students the opportunity to discuss the major issues of the day in a very informal and pleasant surrounding and the student representatives to the Trustee Committees afford the student body a formal voice in the decision-making process. So, although they may not always be visible, remember that the trustees are part of the Tufts community and are always acting in the best interest of this university, our Alma Mater.
