LAYING the GROUNDWORK With the foundation set, the seed of a vision great or small implanted, wonders can happen, making dreams take flight. Now go hears! Within every child is a bold, shining vision to go somewhere, to be somebody, to do something. Within every college stu- dent, a young voice, seasoned by years of academic discipline, yearns to speak out, I ' ve gone to some place, I ' ve become some- body, and now I ' m going to do it. Four years at Cal may just have bred the perfect laboratory conditions for the great- est experiment of all— the experiment of LIFE in the real world in a not so real college town-Berkeley, CA, U.S.A. Each of us, in our own ways, has come out with results from four or more grueling years of lessons at Cal. Learning, perhaps, not to trust long lines but to trust your instinct that taking Legal Studies 145 passed not passed was the right thing to do. Learning that what you hear on Tele- Bears is not necessarily what you get. Maybe it ' s learning not to trust the Regents or even your own roommate. No matter how times have changed from the moment you stepped on campus as a bright-eyed freshman to a more well- informed free spirit years down the road, every facet of campus life has formedtho kaleidescopic memories unique onl ' from Cal— whether it ' s mustering enough cour- age to chat with the Hateman, stopping to listen to a self-proclaimed orator on the steps of Sproul, or simply studying the art of restful sleeping under the laz ' sun. All told, U.C. Berkeley is the ultimate building block upon which we accumulate the experience, the expertise, and possibh ' the answers needed for the next big step and the step after that. „ , , . , —Dehbw Yuan Building the Foundation

ADJUSTING to the SURROUNDINGS In a country where lush lawns and white winters are the norm for the typical idea of it ' s prestigious institutes of higher education there are those that tend to be a place all their own. A place where the win- ters are not white but bright and sunny and the lawns are lush all year round. Where else could this but UC Berkeley. Sur- rounded by the beauty of the San Francisco Bay, not only are you getting a top notch education at the best public school around but you can ' t pick a better surrounding to lull into adulthood than here. Its beautiful sights are endless and e ' en when you be- come tired of exploring the City , Berkeley has a lot to say for itself too. Exploring the campus and the Berkeley Oakland hills can leave you with no desire to make the 1 2 hour BART trip to the city. At times it seems as though people migrate from around the state, country and the world to congregate here. But fret not, there will always be a familiar face around the corner. Whether or not it ' s your first time alone and independent from your parents, you ' re never really alone. Berkeley has the incredible ability to put two people from the same comer of the world, who have never met before in the right place at the right time to make you feel a little less home-sick when you ' re tired of the big Bay Area and long for home. -Lucy Tarin Yet another beautiful site in Berkeley is the moon rising above the International house that is at the base of the Ber- keley hills.
