University of Miami - Ibis Yearbook (Coral Gables, FL)

Page 10 text:

FROM THE EDITOR am writing this as we begin work on the 1992-1993 Ibis Yearbook. Most of the work lies ahead. Right now, all our ideas are still excit- ing, layouts and story ideas are still coming easily, and everyone texcept for a few people who shall remain namelessl is still around and getting along with one another. Right now, 11m optimistic. The year is already off to an exciting start, and the yearbook we have planned will be something completely new, yet familiar. I do not know exactly how it will turn out, but let me tell you what we had in mind. After examining the past few books, we decided that tighter orga- nization was needed. The book seemed to divide itself into only three areas, as opposed to the 10 sections of the 1991-1992 yearbook. We did not discard any traditional departments, we just shuffled them around and added a little logic to the table of contents. But we were bored with the iltraditionalll style of yearbook layout and design. So, in an attempt to create something entirely new, we borrowed heavily from the world of magazines and newspapers. We owe a debt to the editors and designers of Time, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and Esquire. tHey, if you are going to steal, steal from the best. RightiD In addition, new computer equipment and some amazing software have opened up new possibilities for us and will give us more control over the process. tThank you, Raymonde Bilger and members of the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committeej The first section of the book will look the most foreign to you. Our idea was to create something along the lines of a Life magazine 11Year In Review? The chronological format, we believe, will make it more interesting to read - both now and 20 years from now - when you look back at your time at the University of Miami. No, there is no theme. I do not believe themes are necessary, and many times they don't really work. Besides, the theme of every year- book should be the year. We consider this year's theme to be 1992- 1993 at the University of Miami, and we hope to do a good job captur- ing the words and images of this year. tAnd if you really need some kind of theme for the year, check out the cover story that begins on page 103 Hurricane Andrew probably set the theme for the year, but we decided to give it extensive coverage as a news story rather than devote the whole book to it. Besides, last year's book was fairly prophetic and used Hurricane Warning! as its theme. Because of our deadlines, our coverage begins with commence- ment last May and continues up until the early part of the spring semester. tYes, the 1993 yearbook is mainly about 1992, but that canit be helpedJ This all sounds great right now. Easier said than done, however. Let me know how you think we did. Robert Anthony laszlo Miller, Editor In Chiel September 16, 1992 The Year Ill BGViBW

Dave Bergman FROM THE PRESIDENT near Friends, ot since 1926 has any semester at the University of Miami begun as during your senior year. Living through Hurricane Andrew was an experience none of us will ever forget. Among my countless memories are those of so many of you in positions of leadership as resident assistants, Class officers and organization heads, helping to cope in the crisis. The University of Miami family was never Closer or stronger than in those trying days following the storm. Many thanks for your help e and your patience. After nearly a quarter of the century in higher education, I have become accustomed to the cycle of Change inherent in the enterprise. It was just yesterday on that hot late August afternoon that Mrs. Foote and I welcomed you at the freshman picnic in our back yard. Congratulations on your graduation. I will remember you and treasure our good fortune that you passed this way. Yours is a fine Class. I appreciate your many contributions to making the University of Miami better. Mrs. Foote joins me in wishing you the very best in lifets next adventures. Stay in touch. Godspeed. Edward T. Foote II, PI'BSidBIlt The Year In Review 7
