The word conjures up images of updating the old, scratching out the incorrect, tearing down the useless and the promise of worthy change. Revision and change. Two words destined to be said in the same breath. For it is a statement of equality and a causal effect, one without the other will never make the declaration true. The year 1984 had its destiny determined long before it arrived, thanks to a man by the name of George Orwell. It was to be a time of Big Brother watching and floundering originality. But, fortunately, it was a changeable destiny. And. it did change. Revise. Re- prefix meaning again. Everything we do, we can re -do it. Reacquire, reappear, rearrange. retype, reerect, reexperience, reset, rejuvenate. The option is alway there. By way of a mere two letters, we can gain a second chance to better our first round attempts. It is a commodity we take too lightly, but one which would be sorely missed if the privilege of its use was taken away. Nevertheless, it is usually for the better. It changes. Revisions. More than years in the past, the words change and revision are prevalent. A quick glance around proves that. Budget cuts, increased environmental preservation, a Presidential race with a strong black candidate. women's rights, the coming of the computer age. And closer to home, the new Student Union, frats on the hill, Mervis Hall, the Oxford Center downtown, reconstruction of parkways, 'dry rush', and the pizza wars. And so we can reach the conclusion that the seeds of the “re have been planted in the year. 4 Introduction Revisions And here you sit with the 1984 will the future hold for us?

As we emerge from the decades of peace, and love and me and chaos. What Introduction Revisions 5 INTERNATIONAL All around the globe, the year that was 1984 was marked by death, wars and negotiations. It was a year of fighting in Grenada. in Lebanon, in South Korea. in Beirut. It was a year of deaths, of Andropov s, of peace keeping Marines, of 269 people on a downed Korean airliner. It was a year of talks. with Andropov, with Castro, with Thatcher, of Strategic Arms Limitations. There were certainly mixed feelings all around. Who was right and who was wrong were mere formalities — what to do was more the question. And just what did they do? Repeated bombings and breakouts of fighting in Beirut tested Reagan s policies on Mid-East affairs. Indeed the bombings were tragic, but why the Marines were there to begin with, makes it seem all the less explainable. They were first sent to monitor the withdrawal of the P.L.O. Then they were to provide stability as Syria and Israel pulled out of territories they occupied. The Israelies eventually pulled out. but as the Lebanese remained, so too did our Marines. Questions were raised on the U.S.'s right to exert its military prowess around the world. Nevertheless, over 200 Marines are dead without any clear reason and still the conflict has not been resolved. Soviet leader Yuri Andropov's death was best described in 6 Introduction lntemational Newsweek: Only in a gerontocracy could it be said of a leader of 69 that he died young. Yet that is what befell (him). He was. if not a man of vision, a man of intelligence, toughness and caution. But he had to wait until he was 68 for the chance to lead — and by then it was too late. He showed signs of revitalizing Russia by promoting a younger group of his own following. Relations with the U.S. improved somewhat. He was tough, but he was too late. Only his successors will prove if his legacy will be carried on. Of course, the downing of the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 on September I by the Soviets did not help anyone. The airliner's destruction was the nadir of Andropov's first year. It showed lack of firm command and poor judgment.” According to Soviet sources. Andropov was not consulted before the Soviet military. acting on standing orders, used force to stop a violation of Soviet airspace. But he bore the responsibility for the disastrous stance the Soviets adopted after the plane hit the sea. For six days, the Soviets refused to acknowledge that they had shot the plane down, even though the G.S. had already made pub lie tape recordings of Soviet pilots describing the kill. The So viet stonewall compounded the calamity. As the Soviets walked out on SALT talks and Pope John Paul paid a defiant second visit to Poland, the world wide turmoil raged on. Policies and decisions were enacted and revised. Patriotism was on the upswing, but at what cost? Who is to say what the real results are or will -------------- NATION The wave of change rolled across the United States, too. The American people entered a year of firsts, lasts and of course, changes and revisions. 1984 brought with it a new national holiday. This year President Reagan officially signed January 15 in as Martin Luther King Day. honoring the slain civil rights leader. Rallies on college campuses, in Washington and across the country exemplified the strong feelings Americans had in the desire to place King with the likes of Columbus and Washington. 1984 also brought the gathering together of the world's greatest athletes for the Olympics. The winter games, held in Sarajevo. Yugoslavia, showed the CJ.S. at its best with a gold medal in Men's Figure Skating (the first in over two decades), two golds in Men's Skiing (the first ever) and a Women's Skiing gold as well. The site of L.A., California brings the summer games back to the G.S. Four gold medals are expected from track superstar Carl Lewis, who has been likened to the great Jesse Owens. It's never easy to say good bye but that is what we did when ole Ma Bell broke up into AT T and the Bell system, giving us seven page phone bills and choices between MCI and Sprint. We also said farewell to a male-dominated world of space with our first women astronaut. Sally Ride. 8®S� 8 Introduction Nation 1984. An election year. With three strong candidates, the campaigning is fierce and the results interesting. With the first strong black candidate in the running, whatever the outcome is. '84 will probably be looked back on as a turning point in politics. Walter (Fritz) Mondale, born in Minnc-sola in 1928. began his career in Hum phrey's Senatorial campaign in 1940. When Humphrey left his Senate posi tion in 1965. Mondale took his seat. Serving 12 years in the Senate. Mondale built a liberal reputation on issues of school busing and education. His cam paign now stresses nuclear deployment. increased education spending and affirmative action on civil rights. Jesse Louis Jackson s political inter csts were sparked in 1959 when he was refused access to a public library in South Carolina The following year, he participated in a sit in at the library. He was a part of M.L.K's Southern Christian Leadership Conference until 1971. His campaign stresses rights for the un der privileged and disadvantaged. The college students and black Americans are the focal point of Jackson's Rain bow Coalition.” Gary (you got to have) Hart worked as a volunteer in J.F.K.'s presidential cam paign of I960. Later he served as assis tant to Interior Secretary Stewart (Jdall. Twice, in '74 and '80. he was elected Senator from Colorado His campaign stresses education. Introduction (Nation 9 NATION Entertainment was a major force this year, with the word superstar really being put to use. Two people in particular come to mind with the mention of that word. Michael Jackson and the Cabbage Patch Kid. Much as Pac-Man fever swept the country last year, this creation was every child's vision at Christmastime. It was something not even Phil Donahue could not ignore, as he devoted half a show to the craze. Reports of Cabbage Patch Kids be ing held for ransom and riots in stores were not uncommon. Parents told stories of waiting in line for hours on end only to find the store sold out before they even opened. And what was so special about these dolls? Could it be that each came with its own unique adoption papers? Or was it their cute, scrunched up faces? Who knows. But someone isn't wondering, all the way to the bank. Michael megabucks Jackson certainly cemented his place in music history this year. His album Thriller sold over 27 million copies; five singles hitting number one and one receiving a Grammy for Song of the Year. The million dollar video mini-movie to the title song was a cinematic triumph and a destined trendsetter and classic. The Michael Jackson look. the one sequined glove and white socks and loafers became the style. And his teaming up with fellow superstar Paul McCartney for another chart- topping single was not to be forgotten. And speaking of forgetting, let's not forget Mr. Jack-son's affair with Pepsi and Brooke. One set his hair on fire, the other . .. well. A record indeed. Michael Jackson withstanding, 1984 was the year music came out of the slumps. Newcomers like Duran Duran. Culture Club and Cyndi Lauper and old standbys such as the Rolling Stones. Van Halen and the Pre tenders pulled music out of the doldrums. The new sound as 10 Introduction Natlon ui Friday... The Day Of well as the new look, otherwise known as MTV. made it a year of welcome musical revision. In the humor department. Eddie Murphy and Joan Rivers reigned supreme. Eddie s break into the big screen with both ‘.'48 Hours and Trading Places as well as his HBO special Delirious brought back the kind of hard hitting, biting humor you're almost, but not quite, afraid to laugh at. And Joan Rivers' can we talk? sums her up for the lady who hits everyone and everything in her routines. If perchance our spare time led us into the theater, we were indeed well-rewarded. Staying Alive. The Right Stuff , Footloose and Terms of Endearment were some of the biggest hits of the year. It seems the big difference in the cinema this year was the move back to actual people rather than alien creatures and machines. On the smaller screen. T.V. brought us a monumental work. The Day After dramatized a nuclear attack in a mythical American city. The fact that prime time television made a 2 hour movie out of this topic emphasized the imminent nuclear threat felt. Introduction Nation II CITY The University of Pittsburgh is lucky to have such a big, industrial city located so near. Cam puses across the United States are scattered everywhere. Most universities are the center of attraction in the particular location of their town. Pittsburgh's closeness is a big asset to our University.

Many new buildings popped up in the now unfamiliar horizon of Pittsburgh. The city's renaissance stretched from one end to the other. This year marked the beginning of the construction of a subway, routed to the South Hills area. The old was torn down to make way for the new. Take the time to really look at Pittsburgh. You might be surprised at some of the changes you have overlooked in the past. Watch the city grow! 12 Introduction City y; : H, burghers v aI-'.V, vV ; When people think of Mew York City, the vision of a subway usually comes up. The underground walls layered with multicolored masses of graffiti, the derelicts lurking in the corners, and the stale stench. The frequent muggings are so common that others usually overlook them. These images paint an ugly picture of subways. The city of Pittsburgh is in the process of building a subway. Pittsburghers have not been con- fronted with any hassles of this sort yet. The main problem caused by the construction of the subway is detours and traffic. The tearing up of Pittsburgh's streets has produced noise and dust-filled walkways for pedestrians. The building of a subway is keeping the city of Pittsburgh up with the times. It is a big advance for public transportation. Hopefully, our subway will reflect upon the good people of Pittsburgh!

PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY CO.' ' - ' Our CITY There are some things that mean Pittsburgh.” Someone just has to say one word and Pittsburgh automatically comes to mind. For. example, the fountain; what do you visualize? A warm day. tossing around a frisbee. listening to music. Point State Park, or whatever memory that you come up with! How about Market Square? Do you see hungry pigeons, empty benches, or Burger King take out? Jenkin s Arcade is another example. It never seemed to be out of your way to casually stroll through it while in town on a shopping spree. It seemed to be the perfect place to meet friends after taking different buses into town. It wasn't like a shopping mall — it had it's own style. The things you remember will be the only memories you have of Jen-kin’s Arcade. For it is gone now — a landmark in itself, torn down. It will be replaced by a sleek, shiny, new building that will coincide with the age of technology and the future. Renaissance has a way of wiping out the past, but it also inspires new memories to treasure!

(ntfoduction City 15 CAMPUS If there is one thing that could sum up the renovations and revisions in the Oakland area, it is the new William Pitt Student Union. Officially opened September 8. it stands as a proud example of the growth that the University of Pittsburgh is undergoing. Many of the restorations in the building were in conjunction with the appearance of the Student Union before. Before, when it was the grand and luxurious Schenley Hotel; a gathering place for the socially elite and the ‘ beautiful people , like Lillian Russell. Diamond Jim” Brady and President Theodore Roosevelt. The grand ballroom was restored to its original elegance in a Louis XV design. The parlour of Lillian Russel now stands as it did when she resided at the Schenley Hotel. The archwork throughout the new Student Union acts as a symbol of the new building as well as truly topping off the combination of the old with the And how impressive are those new designs. The lower level, which was the old basement, now houses a T.V. room in which the Pitt Program Council presents videos, a game room with 13 pool tables and video games and a cafeteria large and spacious enough to seat 200 people. Upstairs on the main level, one finds the multi-purpose room 16 Introduction Campus (seating capacity — 700) which is used for lectures, small concerts. dances, movies, and banquets. Perhaps, though, since it is the official Student Union, the offices on the rest of the floors are the most welcome change. Most all student organizations now can be found here complete with a real office in the Pitt Student Union. The offices are big and numerous enough so that the University groups can all quite adequately function from them. The simple fact that Pitt's student organizations are now altogether in the newly opened Union is the impressive work of promising changes that are now occuring between the administration and the students. When the Schenley was sold to Pitt in 1956 for use as a Student Union, few dreamed that 1984 would bring its grand reopening at the cost of 13 million dollars, designed by the architectural firm of Williams, Treblicock and Whitehead. What a welcome revision and addition the new Student Union is, standing as a symbol of Pitt's true entrance into the 1980's. InUoduclion Campus 17 CAMPOS A walk around the Pitt campus and drive through the 'Burgh will undoubtedly reek of changes and revisions. Probably the biggest difference seen is that of the newly remodeled and renovated William Pitt Student Union. What can be said about this new addition1' to Pitt that hasn't already been said? It is a beautiful, much needed gathering place for the Pitt student body and the general public. And a prime example of Pitt's entrance into the '80's. Greeks are a major part of Pitt. Their annual Greek Week charity fundraising efforts and blood donations to the Central Blood Bank are two of the many activities they engage in. This year, a new fraternity complex underwent construction, which will be ready to house 8 fraternities come fall. This move to the hill will surely have an effect on the Greek system here at Pitt. Hopefully, the change will not cause an Amherst College outcome. Other new-ities to Pitt were the Graduate School of Business' Mervis Hall, housing the Business School faculty. Business Library and classrooms, the stadium's Sports Information Center, where all the sports offices are located and a slew of new stores like Goodies. Haa-gen-Dazs, the Corn Popper. Sheetz. Stop-n-Go. the state liquor store. David's Cookies and 18 Introduction Campus Roy s Cathedral Tuck Shop (what exactly a tuck shop is, will probably remain one of the biggest mysteries of the world). On through the streets of Pittsburgh. one will notice the change in the Pittsburgh skyline with the addition of four new buildings: the PPG Place, an office and shopping complex. the National Steel Building, the One Mellon Bank Center and Oxford Center, another combined office and shops area. The ‘Burgh could also boast its own CISFL team, the Maulers and its first professional cheerleading squad, the Flashdancers. A city and a University on the move. As Pitt enters into a contract with AT T to make it the campus of the future by way of the most advanced communications system and Pittsburgh renovates itself to death during what has been called Renaissance II. the excitement can be felt everywhere. Revisions at their best. Introduction Campus 19 CAMPOS The University of Pittsburgh is a city college, located in the heart of Oakland. The students receive a mixed atmosphere — Schenley and Frick parks are within 1 mile of the campus. Downtown Pittsburgh. Shady-side shops, and Monroeville Mall are just a bus ride away. But if you jog or like to take long walks, there are many paths through the countryside parks. The buildings around campus have been built and named to honor many original Oak-landers. If you like a very quiet place to study, the Frick Fine Arts Building library is an excellent choice. Or. if you like to socialize a little bit more. Hillman Library is always jumping. It is also a nice place to scope the opposite sex. The Litchfield Towers, conve niently named A. B. and C. were built to house more of Pitt's residents. They are round dormitories cut into pie-shaped pieces. The towers are co-ed by floor and have been known to be a little wild. Many pranks are played among the roomies — water battles, smoke bombs, and disappearing articles. provides a break from studying on a Saturday afternoon, when students are admitted free. There are also many sites to see in the Oakland area. Phipp s Conservatory is approximately three blocks from the dorms. Their spring and fall flower shows are a treat for the whole family. Carnegie Museum is a loaded source of knowledge. It One of the more modern buildings towering Pitt campus is the Chemistry Building. Located up behind the Syria Mosque, many students have spent time there, completing required experiments. 20 Introduction Campus Last, but certainly not least, is the Cathedral of Learning. Built by the generosity of the people of Oakland, it symbolizes the University of Pittsburgh. The Cathedral stands across from the William Pitt Student Union, and is the center of campus. Here, many students study, or attend class. The campus of Pitt is different from most colleges or universities. Its campus is not located out in the middle of the country, where the campus is the whole city. Pitt is located in the city. For this reason. Pitt's students are able to mature faster. They have to deal with all the prob lems of city living. They are walking streets, that are sometimes dangerous at night. Not everybody you meet here is a college student. There are many businesses with workers in the area and these people in teract with the students. The University of Pittsburgh's buildings and location provides an exceptional atmosphere for the students. Introduction Campus 21 Wake up — class in half an hour!!! Roll into the shower and hope no one steals your towel. Throw on some sweats, ten-nies and a shirt, if you can find a clean one that is. Head on downstairs, grab a candy bar for breakfast and over to Langley for that 9:30 psych class. And of course, it's raining and you are once again without an umbrella. Such is life. Psych — well, you got yourself here, that should be enough. So. let's take a snooze in the back of the room. The professor will never know. First, though, how about a letter to Mom Dad for some extra bucks for um ... books — yeah, sounds good. Good grief, was I snoring??? Oh well. 11:00 time to eat. Down to the good ole Towers cafeteria — well, ole anyway. Ah ... a Towers specialty — cheeseburgers and fries. I'll take two. And let's not pass up some delicious pie. Find a seat, hey there's a BOOTH, and blab about last night at Peter's and the frat parties tonight. Sounds great. Check out the Pitt News and the mail situation. None. Upstairs then. Brush the teeth, open a book, turn on the radio, lay down with the book and ... fall asleep. 3:00. Time to run some errands. Class — guess we missed a few. To the Student Union, get some change to do laundry and get the campus bus up to Trees to do some lifting. Time to eat again. What delicacy will be served this evening? There's always icecream. And we can always look forward to the Holiday dinners. And so the day goes, more or less, in the life of a Towers resident. And basically, for any resident of Holland. McCormick. Bruce. Lothrop.

One must put up with blaring music at any unreasonable hour, waiting for a shower, signing people (and liquor) in and out and getting along with probably virtual strangers. But. living on campus does have its advantages. You're always right in the thick of things” and McDonald's is close, although sending out for pizza is popular with the pizza wars of '84.” Whatever the day may bring, life in the Towers makes anything else look easy. After all. anyone who can live in a pie slice and live to tell about it. well that's an accomplishment in itself. Introduction Student Life 23 STUDENTS Everyone has time between In the winter time, it is difficult classes, an hour here or there, to go outside and sleep, or Well, what do you do with this study.

No matter this time, you wouldn't have what the weather. Pitt students much work to do at night. It always find something to do would give you more free time with their time — besides in the evening. In the spring time and early fall, one can find many of Pitt's students sitting on the Cathedral lawn studying, or socializing. Many of the residents like to lay out and try to catch some rays. Some of the students sit around and talk with their friends. The nice weather permits them to be outside in the sunshine, not inside an air-conditioned room. If you ever get tired of studying outside, you can always take a short nap. The nice lawns around Pitt allow people to lie down and sleep. studying. And now for the 1984 official list of how to spend time between classes: 1) Get something to eat (cheap, of course) 2) Read the Pitt News 3) Take a walk to Schenley or Frick Park 4) Catch some sleep on Flagstaff 5) Play a quick game of Pac-Man or pool 6) Hang out at the Student Gnion 7) Hang out at Hillman (oops, study) 8) Do homework for the next class 9) Blow off the next class 10) Try to pick up a cute girl 11) Try to get picked up by a cute guy 12) Gossip 13) Try to figure out what the Tuck Shop' really means 14) Catch a video at the Student Gnion 15) Catch a frisbee 16) Get something else to eat 17) Do all the corny errands that have piled up 18) Laundry??? 19) Watch your favorite soap opera 20) Relax Introductlon Student Life 25 STUDENTS Ah, the life of a commuter, one we all envy, right?? Probably not. Because of Pitt's general location, many of its students live at home and commute each day to the campus. It is a choice wrought with both good and bad sides. Probably the most aggravating part of a commuter's life is the actual travelling. Many people use the bus and. to say the least, the PAT Bus System is not the best, or most reliable, especially during those lovely winter storms. And for those who drive their own cars, rush hour traffic is not the easiest to deal with. Since Pitt is located in a city, finding somewhere to park is also a huge problem. The commuter also has to carry all his books that he will have to use that day. This could prove to be a very heavy task. Once the initial hassle of getting to campus is over, a commut- everyone else's. Go to a class here, blow off one there, grab a 39-cent hamburger or two (or three or four) at McDonald's, hang out at the Student Union, do some studying at Hillman (very little) and call it a day. Then it is back home. Wait for the bus with 900 other people and hope you can find a seat. Get your transfer and wait again for your stop. A commuter is also faced with another important problem. What if there's a party, and it, oh. it ends at 3:00 a.m.? There er's day is, more or less, like aren't many buses running at 26 Introduction Studcnt Life that particular time and your parents don’t want you to keep the car out that late, espe daily in Oakland. Well, sometimes they will have to make sacrifices and leave early. Commuters also have trouble being involved and informed of some of the activities on campus. If there is some activity on a night when you can't get back to campus, you have to miss it. whereas a resident can just walk to the activity. Commuters don't get to party and stay out as late at night because they have to go home to their parents. Living at home does have its advantages though. No need to worry about laundry. And home cooking sure beats cafeteria food. And all those little conveniences like enough closet space, no line for the shower, and peace and quiet when it's a normal sleeping hour. Well, the commuter has his problems but they're as much a part of Pitt as those who live on campus.

Mmrrv y 28 Introduction Student Life STUDENTS 30 STUDIES 31 The Honors Center The services provided by the University Honors Program are threefold, according to Assistant Director Barry Applbaum. The first is offering courses in a variety of disciplines to able and motivated students. There are about 600 students enrolled in the program, which requires a student to have a 3.25 quality point average or special permission from the instructor. Every semester thirty to forty Honors courses are offered which range from basic courses to upper level courses in a variety of disciplines that are not offered in regular cur-riculums. For example, the program offered a course about Central American Revolutions during the winter 1984 term that did not have a non-honors equivalent. The second function of the program is special advising to com- pliment Honors students' regular advising. Our idea is particularly able students have more options available to them than do the regular students in terms of curriculum, career choices, graduate and upper-level training and merit-based scholarships and fellowships. Applbaum said. The 35th floor of the Cathedral of Learning was recently converted into the Honors Center, where students can come to read periodicals, study, type or socialize. This satisfies the program's third function: to provide a means of interaction among Honors students. The idea is to get students to get together and discuss issues of common concern, said Applbaum. The Honors Program is also actively involved in the recruiting process of students at high schools. 32 Acodcmics Honors Center Aeademics Monors Center 33 This is a very exciting period of change for the university because of the new frontiers of research we are entering into, according to Chancellor Wesley Posvar. “We have undertaken a variety of programs and partnerships to accelerate the application of research for public use. New frontiers has certainly been the theme of the 80 s for Pitt, which is drawing international acclaim for partnerships and projects, programs and plans. One such endeavor is the Campus of the Future, which Posvar dubs. The leading innovation in the whole country for universities.” The Campus of the Future — which will soon be part of the present — is the wiring of the campus, as well as the regional campuses, with fiberoptics for the transmission of voice, video and data. The project has already led to agreements between Pitt and AT T. Digital Equipment Company (DEC), and Xerox. Some recently-formed partnerships Posvar cited Pitt’s involvement in are the Foundation for Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST) and the Ben Franklin partnership, in which the state helps finance new businesses with high technology to create jobs. We have formed the University Trust, which is a private, non profit holding company which will contain a lot of these new activities that are developed. the Chancellor said. There might even be corporations that come out of this. Important Pitt projects include the Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, which will conduct research and clinical care. The university is now the leader in human organ transplants and set a first earlier this year by performing a double organ (heart and liver) transplant. Posvar has spent 17 years at Pitt, and he said the most important development in his career has been the progress made from Affirmative Action. Twenty years ago. there were hardly any minority students here. he said. Now we have a substantial amount of minority students and faculty.” Entering New Frontiers At 58. Posvar is approaching the age of mandatory retirement for Pitt administrators. 65. Although he’ll step down from his position as chancellor, he plans to remain an active member of the faculty. I don't intend to ever retire, he said. 34 Academics Chanccllor The Pitt Philosophy Department, which has been evaluated as one of the three leading such departments in the country, is making curricular reforms this year. For example, it is planning to introduce a new course in computer logic in the winter of 1985. Another new class to be added will be a lower-level course on political philosophy. which will be an introduction to the major political and historical figures and their central problems. Another sign of the restructuring of the curriculum is the elimination of the philosophy course offered exclusively to engineers. “(We want) to enable (engineers) to mix with a diverse group of students to broaden their scope of philosophy. said Philosophy Department Chairman David Gauthier. Wed like to see the engineers be made aware of a broader range of perspectives and give them an opportunity to select from a wide range of courses than if they had just one philosophy course to take. One philosophy course is now mandatory for graduation, and Gauthier is looking forward to the increased role Philosophy will have in the new College of Arts and Sciences curriculum. We think that an important part of a general university education is spending some time reflecting, the way philosophers do. he said. Students come to the university with less knowledge of philosophy than any other subject, said Gauthier. With rare excep tions. they haven’t had any of it in high school. Perhaps there’s always a puzzlement among those who are ignorant of the subject. He said philosophy is more abstract than other subjects and requires people to think about matters that tend to be taken for granted. In every day life, we go around making various moral judgments. The philosopher asks. What is the basis of our judgment? How do we decide if these judgments are correct or incorrect?’ Abstract Thinking Upper left: David Gauthier. Department of Philosophy Chairman; above: Philosophy student Ed Lehoucq Academics Philosophy 35 Forever Improving Revising This year's class of incoming freshmen will face a substantially greater and more specific set of requirements than their junior and senior counterparts have to meet. These curricular reforms are the product of several years of planning and became effective in the fall of 1983. It’s a much more structured system now. according to Dean Irwin Schulman of the College of Arts and Sciences. The previous requirements for graduation consisted of nine classes: three in the social sciences, three in the natural sciences and three in the humanities. The new requirements consist of twelve courses: one in literature: one in music or fine arts: and one in music, fine arts, literature or creative expression: one course in philosophy: one in the social sciences: and one in history: and three courses in the natural sciences, two of which must be in sequence. One difference between the new requirements and the old system of distribution of studies is that math and computer science are now excluded from the list of natural science courses, so students will inevitably take courses in the physical or biological sciences. We've had to develop a whole system of approving courses to meet these new requirements, Schulman said. Not any course can be taken for these. That's been the main initiative for this past year — to work out this system that is being implemented. The new requirements also include two foreign culture classes and new skill requirements in writing and math. In addition to basic writing, students must now take a composition course and two W courses, which become increasingly more advanced. The renewed emphasis on writing is probably the most important thing we're doing,” said Schulman. Also mandatory are one course in algebra and a second in quantitiative math or reasoning. The next step in the curricular reforms is increasing the foreign language requirement from two to three years, which can be taken in high school or college. Other important events of this year, according to Schulman. include approval of the new film studies major and extension of the withdrawal period from six to nine weeks. But we made it harder for (students) to (withdraw) after nine weeks. he said. He said only about 50 to 100 students per term have genuinely extentuating circumstances to legitimize a late withdrawal. We don't let them withdraw because they're not doing well. 36 Academlcs CAS Academics CAS 37 Great Demand, Small Faculty In today's automated world, the ever popular study of computer science remains strong. “People are still majoring in computer science.” said Dr. Orrin Taulbee, chairman of the Computer Science Department. Some of the classes are so popular, in fact, that students are known to camp out in front of the Registrar's office the night be fore registration begins so they're assured a place in a computer science class. Taulbee calls this a non-problem. claiming there is no shortage of class space and blaming it on “the system . A new method of handling Add Drop. he said, should be the solution to the non-problem . Because it takes four of five days to record a student s dropping a class, classes may appear closed out but actually have the available spaces of the students who dropped the course. In the fall of 1983, there were 950 spaces for the popular 100 level computer science courses, but At the end of the Add Drop period, the number of students actually in these courses was 634, Taulbee said. The system is not geared to handle a quick turn around. A new process that began this fall should help sort out the confusion. Students are limited to three 100 level courses at registration. and the Undergraduate Programs Office keeps a very close eye on what they take. said Taulbee. If a student wants to drop a course, he must do it through that office. Taulbee said the Add Drop situation must be straightened out before the department thinks about adding more sections of 100-level courses. We need to solve some other problems before we talk about adding more, he said. One of his personal goals is to change the general undergraduate requirement of any five 100 level courses to specific classes at that level. The department would have to offer several sections of each of those courses, but it now doesn't have enough faculty to teach them. If we were to put in requirements for 100-level courses, there's no way we could handle it. he said. With only about 20 percent of the 260 graduating PhDs in computer science going into academics each year, that leaves a tremendous scramble to get faculty. Taulbee said, but that will turn around one of these days. He wants to add graduate and undergraduate classes in networking, distributive processing and the graphics areas. Those are three big areas where new courses should be added, he said. We have some now. but certainly not enough. 38 Academics Computer Science Academics Computer Science 39 The Finer Things in Life Located in the cultural capital of the city, Pitt offers students three majors in which they can enjoy the arts. The Fine Arts and Studio Arts Department and the Architectural Studies Program expose undergraduates to the finer things in life . The Studio and Fine Arts share the Frick Fine Arts Building, and according to Department Chairman Ed Powell, there are about 45 students majoring in Studio Arts. This major offers visual art courses on drawing, painting, print-making, design, sculpture and color. We’re the practicing arts segment of the university, Powell said. He describes the Studio Arts as alive and well. Its major projects this year include the on going exhibits the department sponsors at the UP Gallery, including the annual student exhibit. There are also six outstanding practicing artists teaching in the department this year, including nationally known film animator Paul Glabicki. fall was Fine Arts II. which examines nonwestern art and the artistic interaction between the East and West in more modern times. Also bringing contemporary art to Pitt is the Architectural Studies Program, which sponsored a symposium on Pittsburgh's new skyscrapers this year. The architects of the downtown buildings were present at the symposium to discuss their work. The program — not a department — has been in existence for six years, and in the past three years, since Professor Fil Hearn has been director, the number of students majoring in Architectural Studies has risen from 16 to 50. According to Hearn, the program takes an active interest in their students. We certainly emphasize internships and help (students) clarify their professional goals much more than they had ever done before.” he said. The Fine Arts Department had Edward Fry on its faculty this year, a Visiting Mellon Professor who taught courses about contemporary art. We will look at the history of the arts in relation to culture and society, society, said Kathryn Lyndoff. chairman of the department. A new course added this Hearn said a vast majority of these students don’t even go into architecture. So, why would students major in Architectural Studies — or Studio or Fine Arts? They just love it, Hearn said. 40 Academics Fine Arts Studlo Arts Architectural Studies Page 40 — lower left: Edward Powell.

Become a Dual Major Less than four years in existence. the undergraduate business program has become so popular that only about 60 percent of the students who apply actually get in. When you have such demand for the program, there's obviously student interest. said Undergraduate Business Programs Director Ed Pa-lascak. About 240 students are accepted into the program each year. Palascak said. The major is actually a dual major. which can be matched with any undergraduate major in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). It includes 31 required credits, nine credits of dual major electives and 13 credits in specific prerequisites in lower-level courses. Palascak said students combine business with 70 percent of the CAS majors, the most popular of which are economics, computer science, psychology and speech. Students also come, however, with backgrounds in languages, black studies and music. Different kinds of students are attracted to the major, he said. Business and business ac-counting are also offered in the College of General Studies (CGS). Forty to 45 percent of the students taking an undergraduate business major are women. Palascak said, and they usually enter with at least a 3.0 average. One change Palascak would like to make in the program is adding business electives which can be taken through CGS but not do not count toward the major. Students would benefit from a little more specialization than is offered (in CAS). But it's difficult to fit ev- erything into 120 credits. he said. An internship course was added to the program about two years ago. and the number of available internships is increasing. The placement success rate, he said, is not as encouraging. I think the economy and the reduction of the number of companies doing recruiting on campus has hurt our placement, Palascak said. It's a difficult job market.” Top picture: Ed Palascak.

Assistant Director 42 Academics Business Old New Friends Reunited A reunion occured last summer between some old friends who had been separated for half a decade. The various parts of the Mathematics Statistics department had been spread among Forbes Quad, the William Pitt Union and the Mineral Industrial Building for the past five years: now they are together again in Thackeray Hall. At about the same time as the move, a Statistical Computing Laboratory was also established in Thackeray Hall at a cost of $300,000. “They're interested in trying different distributions and seeing what sort of results you get from this interpretation of data using computer classifications. Mathematics Statistics Chairman Gene Deskins said of the new lab. An additional $300,000 in grants from the Air Force and National Science Foundation has allowed the department to expand its math computing laboratory. About half the (44-member) faculty in our department is doing research supported by some branch of the government, Deskins said. One of Deskins' personal goals for the department is to estab lish a tutoring program using personal computers. We’d like to set up essentially a math lab oratory where students could go for help on a computer. he said. It has been done and several schools are trying to do this. It s been very successful in helping students with problems in language. We would like to try something like this in mathematics. Funding is a real problem. he said. It would be nice to have enough people to provide this sort of tutoring, but a good computer can do this more efficiently and much cheaper. One old basic problem is. we really don't have enough people in the department to provide the assistance to students that we would like to provide. Mathematics and Statistics Chairman. Or. W.E. Deskins Academics Math and Statistics 43 Looking into the Mind Very few undergraduates pass through the portals of Pitt without entering the portals of the mind as well. Eighty-five to ninety-five percent of Pitt students take Psychology 10 (Introduction to Psychology) as either a fulfillment of a requirement or a stepping stone to a further study of psychology. Four sections of the class are offered in the fall and three in the winter terms, with 300 to 400 students in each section. It used to be offered in many sections of 40 or 50 and was primarily taught by graduate students. In 1961. Dr. Merle Moskowitz, now Associate Chairman of the Department and who. at the time taught the class, joined a colleague and planned a psychology course to be taught on a larger scale. Why do so many students take Psychology 10? I think a lot of students take it out of interest.'' Moskowitz said. (Jnlike chemistry and physics, there are very few good courses in psychology in high school. Students want to have an understanding of what psychology is about. Some of them come in thinking it's all psychoanalysis. Some think it's all brain control. The purpose of the course, he said, is to give students an introduction to all areas of psychology. It cover everything from the study of the brain and its relation to behavior to the way people interact with each other to the treatment of psychological problems to the ways in which children develop and learn. Moskowitz has seen the angle of the class change since it began 23 years ago. At that time, the emphasis was strongly behavioral. but now there is increasing emphasis on cognitive processes. People have always been curious how the mind works, even though the behavioralists would rather study how the body works. he said. Moskowitz said he thinks there will be, in the future, increasing emphasis on physiological and chemical factors in the class. He said there is already in psychology a strong movement on the study of drugs and their effect on human behavior, and there is also an increasing study of chemical factors in general and their effect on conditions such as depression, schizophrenia and learning. He also sees an increasing interest in the whole process of child development and how the training of children can be improved. There's a lot of work going on now with computers working with children who have difficulty learning, and he said Psychology 10 will change to accommodate these changes and trends. 44 Academics Psychotogy Exchanging ideas between the Americas which are given each year. They exchange with 21 countries and provide tuition fellowships for graduate and undergraduate students. The most significant of the program's undergraduate activities. Adelson said, is the competition for 15 fellowships to do an independent research project in Latin America with a Pitt professor. The students receive the equivalent of $ 10.000. Last spring, for example, students paid only $375 each for 71 2 weeks in Mexico. In addition, they each received six credits for the independent research and 3 credits for a winter preparatory course. This is really the most unique part of our program. Adelson said. They also conduct a national competition for five foreign language and area studies fellowships, which provide tuition and an allowance for graduate students who specialize in Latin American Studies. The Latin American Studies Program supports faculty who are working on individual projects by helping them solicit funds. The program is funded half by the university and half by outside sources, like the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the Rockefellers and the Kelloggs. Top: Alan Adelman. Acting Director of Lotin American Studies; Left: Bilingual Executive Secretary. Linda Gaskill Since there is no degree offered at Pitt in Latin American Studies, the Latin American Studies Program does its part to bring about exchanges of people and ideas between the Americas. The purpose of the program, which is in its 15th year, is to facilitate the orientation of the diverse research to the faculty among Latin American themes. said Alan Adelson. associate director of the program. We provide funding for new courses related to Latin America, for faculty research in the countries. We have fellowships for Latin American students who come here and enrich the (Pitt) students in the classroom, and (we) provide opportunities for our students and faculty to go to these countries. One particular means of bringing Latin American professors to Pitt is through the Mellon Visiting Professorships, two of Academics Latin American Studies 45 Automating the Libraries In a few years, you'll be able to find out if the library has the book you need in a matter of minutes — without even leaving your dormitory! This will be part of a three-phase program to automate the University Library System, which will take three to five years to install. The program calls for the automation of the card catalogue, the system by which books are ordered and the circulation system. (Students) would have access to the library from any university terminal, according to Assistant Director for Administrative Services Pamela Vance. You could dial in from any microcomputer to see if a book was here. Although the program was planned previously, it will become integrated with the Campus of the Future project, which allows for the transmission of voice, video, and data by the use of fiber-optics. A separate but similar program also to begin at the libraries is Computer Literature Searching, in which students can search for information about a specific subject. You could sit down at a terminal and put in the subject that you're looking for and get a print out of the material that's available, Vance said. You have to limit it in some 46 Acddemics CnlversUy Libraries way, though. You could put in a (general) subject like education and destroy a computer system.” The University Library System includes 15 of the campus’ 20 libraries, some of which are with the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, the Darlington Memorial Library, which is in the Cathedral of Learning and contains volumes about early American history, and the Chemistry, Economics, Math. Computer Science and Music Departments. The libraries have a combined total of 3.7 million volumes, including microtexts. The largest library is Hillman. One problem the Hillman Library has been continually faced with is that of students leaving the remains of their meals in the study carrells. Vance said Hillman has a guard to enforce the h’o food and beverages rule, and the situation is improving a little. Vance also said that, despite pressure from some students, there are no immediate plans to extend Hillman Library hours past 1 a.m. during final exam period. That's what the library did a decade ago, with little success. There were not many students in the library. and most of them were asleep. she said. I don’t think the library has many students in it after midnight.

To address this problem, plus those experienced by upperclassmen, graduate students and. often, faculty, the Learning Skills Center was established as a free support service for all students in the university. according to Coordinator Georgine Ma-terniak. A decade in existence, the Learning Skills Center serves about 2.000 students a year, about 40 percent of which are freshmen. It provides assistance in the way of Reading. Math and Study Skills. Workshops at the Center are two hours a week for six weeks, the most popular of which is speedreading. The workshops really help that adjustment (from high school to college).” Mater-niak said. The aim of the speedreading workshop, she said, is to increase, even double, speed, while maintaining and possibly improving comprehension. For a focus on comprehension and vocabulary-building, the Center offers an effective reading workshop. This is also available to students on an individual basis. This program is really looking at taking any learner where they're at. no matter how good they are. and help them become better. Materniak said. A lot of students who are doing well, but might have to sacrifice a lot to do that, may come to us to improve in efficiency. We really designed the program to meet the diverse needs of a university population. Sixty trained undergraduate students and five full time professionals comprise the staff of the Learning Skills center, and some of these students also do personal math tutoring. Another popular workshop the Center offers is study skills, which covers textbook reading, lecture note taking, time manage ment. memory improvement and preparing for and taking essay exams and objective and computational tests. We introduce students to memory theory. said Materniak. We believe that whether you listen to a lecture or you're reading a textbook, you're taking in information. Hopefully, you'll develop skills to take it in effectively and store it so you can get it back out again so it can be applied appropriately.” 48 Academic Learning Skill Center Page 48 — Top: Ann Massey.

Despite a grounded ship last year and a recent controversy over a stop in South Africa, it looks like smooth sailing for the Semester at Sea program this fall. The S.S. Universe hit trouble when it sailed into a sandbar in Egypt in the spring of 1983. There was extensive damage to the ship and it had to be repaired. said Max Brandt, director of field programs for the Semester at Sea. It was more stormy waters when the ship was denied entrance to Mozambiuque during last winter's voyage. It's a Communist country, and they're having a pretty tough time economically.” Brandt said. They just don't have the up-to-date facilities to accomodate the ship. Instead, they made a stop in South Africa to refuel. Of course, there’s a lot of sentiment here at the University and in Pittsburgh about any dealings with South Africa because of its apartheid policies. Brandt said. He said the students aboard generally viewed the experience as an educational one. Many students said it was perhaps the most educational experience of any of the ports because few of them had really ever thought of the problems of apartheid,” he said. They had heard all about it, but (now) they were really there to get a look at the social problems. Brandt said there will be no more stops in Brazil, because taking that route forces the ship to sail around South Africa. Now the ship will go first through the Mediterranean Sea and straight to Spain and will then proceed around the world. The winter voyage, which left from Florida in January and arrived in San Franciso in April, made stops in between in Brazil. Capetown. Kenya, Sri Lanka. India. Hong Kong. Taiwan and Japan. It received special attention because of the presence of Barry Paris, staff writer for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, who sent descriptive columns back to Pittsburgh about the ship's journey. The ship makes the voyage twice a year, with about 500 students from colleges all over the country. Students are cho- .'Wot Semester at Sea byages Around the World 50 Academics Semester At Sea sen for the program on the basis of their academic standing, Brandt said, with 2.5 being the minimum quality point average for students considering the trip. During the voyage, students must take at least 12 credits of standard liberal arts curriculum , which includes, for example. English, Business and Anthropology classes. Classes are 70 minutes long and are held every other day when the ship is not in port. The cost of the trip is $8000 — $9000 and there are a few scholarships available to alleviate that cost. The most popular such scholarship at Pitt is the Augmentation Grant, in which students can go on the Semester at Sea for the same price it would cost to attend Pitt for one semester. Because only two or three of these scholarships are offered each year, the competition is pretty stiff for these grants. Brandt said. There are also about 20 work study positions open each voyage, in which the student pays for half the regular price but is required to perform certain duties, like working in the ship library.

She'll probably still be dressed in white and know how to give a shot, but she may also be proficient in the use of computers and word processors. Another trend in nursing education is that more people are getting their doctorate. There's more and more demand for students with a doctorate degree.” Goldberg said. Pitt is one of 26 nursing schools in the nation to offer a doctorate degree. This new technology is being emphasized where we didn't think computers would be before. according to Enid Goldberg, dean of Pitt's School of Nursing. If you read the papers today, you'll find that we no longer have a shortage of nurses in Southwestern Pennsylvania. she said, but that doesn't mean that all the nursing positions in the country are filled. It's new knowledge and new technology that comes out of the health field which creates new jobs in the health care industry. There are about 1,000 students enrolled in the undergraduate, masters and doctorate nursing programs combined at Pitt. A major curricular reform two years ago reduced the number of required credits for the undergraduate degree from 10 to eight terms to be taken in four years. Our house is in order, Goldberg said. Our biggest thrust in the future has to be in the area of research. Research projects being conducted in the school include comparing body-related concerns of children with cancer to those of children without cancer; and whether one is right — or left — handed and its relationship to breast cancer. Research is also be ing conducted to determine the impact of various factors on the well being of working women as compared to housewives. Goldberg's plans for the future for the school include programs in child psychiatric nursing and gerontological nursing. These courses are not offered at this time and would have to be developed, possibly combined with some aspect of primary care on the masters level. It's something that we're going to think about and might potentially write for some funds. Goldberg said. 54 Academics Nursii� g Page 54 — Top: Meeting of administrators: Middle left: Enid Goldberg, Nursing School Dean; Middle right: Nursing student at lecture.

Debbie Surica in Health The School of Health Related Professions prepares students for a career in a variety of health fields including medical technology, physical therapy, health records administration, and occupational therapy. Medical technologists often work in clinical laboratories. They do testing to analyze blood fluids and to identify organisms causing diseases. Medical technologists use their knowledge and skill to develop new equipment and techniques. The duty of a physical therapist is to work with the handicapped or injured so that they may operate to their fullest capacity. A student majoring in health records administration at Pitt is given a background in business by taking courses in systems analysis, management, and legal issues. This prepares them for a department head position where they develop patient information systems. Pitt's occupational therapy majors are preparing for a career of service to people unable to cope with normal everyday activities due to such things as developmental deficits, aging, poverty, or psychological disability. Pitt's program looks for students with a good feel for human nature and a high amount of patience. The emphasis at Pitt is on the psychological aspects of disabled people and their attempts to function in the world. Toward a Career 56 Academics Health Related Professions Looking out for the Welfare of Others Social work is a profession concerned with the impact of social policy on human welfare. Here at Pitt, the program aims to prepare students to practice social work. The program meets the standards outlined by the Council on Social Work Education and teaches its majors skills in social policy analysis, techniques appropriate for intervention. and the philosophical values which underlie social work. Another goal of the program is for students to acquire an understanding of the importance of race, ethnicity, and genders as major factors affecting social work practice. Students meeting the requirements of the school are admitted for their junior and senior years and begin their intense study of social work.

These plans are enhanced by the renovation of Salk Hall, including Pharmacy teaching labs, classrooms, research labs and offices. The state has appropriated $18 million for the renovation, which will also include the Dental Clinic. Adding to the optimism is the presence of visiting Professor Dr. Max Perutz, the first Pitt faculty member ever to receive a Nobel Prize. Perutz will be working with the Drug Design and Development Program, which was established in July 1983. The program will encompass schools from around the campus to look at drugs related to various diseases. said Dr. H. David Bergman, assistant dean of the Pharmacy School. Some of the diseases currently focused on are Sickle Cell Anemia and Altz-heimer's Disease. Another of the school's research projects is cyclosporine, a drug which is used in transplant patients. Some doctors believe one reason many patients reject an organ is because the amount of that drug in the body is not sufficient to take care of immunity response the body has toward the new organ. The School of Pharmacy is also involved with research of a new gas sterilizer compound. It's the kind of thing one might use to sterilize all types of instruments used in hospitals and operating rooms. Bergman said. 58 Academics Pharmacy Academics Pharmacy 59 Researching Energy and T ransition The Pitt School of Engineering is currently involved in a variety of research projects, ranging from coal cleaning to slag disposal to project management, within the various disciplines. Each department has its own projects, according to Mr. Michael Zabetakis. acting associate dean of the school. The types of work they do are quite varied. One noteworthy project the school is participating in is the formation of the BCR National Laboratory (BCRNL). a coalescence between Pitt and Bituminous Coal Research. Inc. (BCR). It was established to provide an energy-related research facility, located in Monroeville, for use by private industry, government and universities. We re tying to work together to develop a program that will be of interest to most of the university as well as the BCRNL. Zabetakis said. The cooperation will continue for five years on basically a trial basis, at which lime the entire assets of BCR will be turned over to BCRNL. The facilities are for the use of Pitt as well as BCR employees, and there are several proposals in now for research on combustion and certain aspects of mining. On the curricular side. Zabetakis said the school is considering reforms for the approximate 400 entry-level freshmen who enter engineering each term. There are uniform classes for all freshmen, but some students are repeating what they learned in high school in these classes. For example, since many students already had basic computing courses. Zabetakis wants to be able to offer advanced computer courses to freshmen. We're beginning to find the same thing in the areas of mathematics and science, he said. We re taking a very close look at the backgrounds of students and see if we can have a better transition for them. He said they are also investigating engineering needs for the future and which subjects to emphasize. What should we be doing about robotics, about computer engineering? By the year 2000. we'll be in step with what the requirements are. 60 Academics Engineering Academics Engineering 61 Chemical Careers The Chemistry major at Pitt provides students good prep aration for a career in medicine, dentistry, forensic chemistry, as well as many other fields. The emphasis of the major is on fundamentals and voluntary participation in the undergraduate research program is suggested. Combining chemistry with another discipline can lead to many satisfying careers. For example. combining chemistry and computer science can lead to a career in chemical informa- tion and data-systems work, chemistry and business can result in market research, and chemistry and journalism can lead to a career of science writing. The undergraduate chemistry program is fully accredited nationally and meets all of the science requirements for admission to any one of the graduate health professions, for admission to graduate school in chemistry, and for a career at the B.S. level in chemistry and many related fields. 62 Aeademics Chemlstry Academics Chemistry 63 The Campus of the Future As computer technology continues to sweep the nation, Pitt has entered into an agreement with AT T Information Systems to create the Campus of the Future . The communication system will make use of fi-beroptics described by the Wall Street Journal as lightwave technology (that) allows voice, data, and video to be carried as pulses of laser lights over thin glass fibers. Fiberoptics carry more information at a smaller cost than wire cables and will be installed underground. Installation began this summer and will continue for three years. As a result students and faculty will be able to communicate between the buildings of Pitt's Oakland campus and the branch campuses simply by logging on to a computer terminal. Changes will also occur in and around the classrooms. The University's libraries will become automated allowing a student to locate and read a text from a computer terminal. A hard copy could be printed from a microcomputer in a dorm room. Televised lectures will be used. and. imagine having an assignment due at Alum- ni Hall or Pennsylvania Hall and not having to walk that long way. Instead, just send the homework to your professor's computer. The advancements seem almost endless. The system at Pitt is similar to the information network AT T installed at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center. However, this is the first such network designed for a university. AT T chose Pitt due to its size, the amount of research done here, and its location — in one of the top business centers of the nation. In addition to the network. AT T will cosponsor with Pitt research on information management techniques. Many other research programs will also expand including the ones in the library and information science department and the computer science department. Because the network can work openly with many kinds of computers. agreements with the Digital Equipment Corporation and Xerox have also been entered into. The Campus of the Future will generate increases in productivity, cost reductions. and more academic opportunities. Thus, the value of this project to the University of Pittsburgh has been estimated at $20 million. 64 Academics Campus of the Future Standing Room Only In its 14th season at Pitt, the Presidential Rhetoric class, taught by Professor Ted Windt. has become almost an institution in itself. This standing-room-only class is part of the Speech and Communications department and attracts over 500 students each term. The purpose of the class, Windt said, is to understand the role that rhetoric plays in the president's exercise of power, in gaining power or loss of power. It is. in essence, a study of the public presidency. Also, (the purpose) is to have students become more informed and critical participants in presidential politics and in political life. Windt explained. He continually expands the test material “to stay contemporary and uses mostly a collection of presidential speeches. This is the first undergraduate course on the presidents or presidential rhetoric to be offered. and since its establishment in 1970. other universities have followed suit. In 1979. the class was one of the recipients of the National Endowment for the Humanities for the class' expansion into two parts. As the class previously covered Kennedy and Johnson in the first part, it now includes part of the Nixon Administration so the second part can go to the present administration. Part of the reason for this expansion is that more class time must now be devoted to providing background material. In 1970. if I mentioned the Kennedy Administration, the students remembered, even if they were children at the time, Windt said. Now many of my students were born after Kennedy was president. As the course has changed its content over the year. Windt has seen a new type of student evolve as well. I think you'll see a different kind of student emerge now than from the late 60's or early 70's,” he said. Students are now less active in radical causes. according to Windt. The Vietnam War is over. We went through what Time magazine called 'the Me Generation' of the 70's. Now what you’re getting are stu- dents who are concerned with their professional careers. He said that despite their lack of activism, students are no more apathetic than the rest of society. Politics is not usually a major issue that most people are interested in. Politics be come important when they impinge on you. he said. What you're getting now is really a student who recognized that (his) professional career may be deeply influenced by political decisions, and he wants to understand what's going on. Academics Presidential Rhetoric 65 66 EVENTS University of Pittsburgh 67 Pitt — What A Feeling! Upperclassmen and the 1987 Bicentennial Freshman class start a new year Orientation is only the beginning. but most Pitt freshmen as well as upperclassmen can tell you what an exciting and eventful start to the fall term it truly is. From August twenty-seventh to the thirtieth, new freshmen were given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with life at Pitt and adjust to the rigorous schedule of full-fledged students. Mentors, student advisors, and faculty combined their time and talents to offer the 3(MM) freshmen of the 1987 Bicentennial (Mass endless opportunities to get acquainted with each other, the campus, and to ask any questions about Pitt life. The Activities Fair was held at Forbes Quad on Monday. August twenty-ninth. Through the crowded maze, students could locate information booths representing nearly all of Pitt's campus organizations and sign up for those that interested them. There were also clowns, magicians, artists and free refreshments for everyone. Later that night Pittsburgh's own Houserockers attracted a rowdy group of students to the Quad for an evening of rock-n-roll. Pitt Greeks welcomed the freshmen with a watermelon picnic on the Cathedral lawn on the thirtieth, distributing Rush cards and offering advice to potential brothers and sisters of the Greek family. The mentors sponsored their own variety of athletic competitions for interested students. For those from out of state who had never been to a Pirate game, the freshmen class was treated to one on a rainy afternoon in Three Rivers Stadium. The annual Lantern Night, held on Tuesday evening, gave female upperclassmen the opportunity to pass the light of wisdom on to the awaiting women of the freshmen class. Pitt's nursing students were also recognized during the much anticipated Black Banding ceremonies. Orientation is not restricted to freshmen, however. Returning upperclassmen who are already familiar with the anxiety and confusion of a new term, knew where to find the fun and took advantage of these few days of activities. The massive influx of students accompanied by the many activities is comparable to an enormous family reunion, annually uniting Pitt's family of students. The inevitable start of classes on the thirty-first brought out the books and officially began the 1983 fall term — a big step in the lives of many Pitt freshmen. Hopefully a step that was filled with many rewarding experiences. Orientation 69 W hat does a street in New York City have to do with the University of Pittsburgh? Broadway is renowned for its famous plays, breathtaking musicals and sparkling lights, and holds the tradition of good times out on the town.” This is precisely what is entailed during Homecoming at Pitt: a week of events to get you out of your room, away from studying, so you can have fun out on the town. The tradition of Homecoming began in 1923, but the activities and even the purpose have changed. Homecoming was originally for alumni of Pitt, who returned to visit friends and spend an exciting day at their alma mater. However, through the years it has become an activity more for the students, though many alumni return for the game. An event that once lasted only a weekend included a parade, a Ease on Down the Road Homecoming ’83 is On Broadway bon fire — pep rally on Friday night, and a dance held in the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning on Saturday night following the afternoon game. Homecoming has since expanded to include a beef roast. Bar night, a carnival, keg roll and a concert instead of a dance. One tradition (hat has lasted is that of having a Homecoming Queen. Beginning in 1977 students could vote for a king as well as a queen. There were posters and painted sheets in the Tower's Lobby and hanging from dorm windows trying to influence voters on Tuesday, October 23th. Some even wore t-shirts endorsing their candidate. while all voters received a painter's hat with Pitt is it imprinted on the top. Rena Chiaverina and Bill Beach were voted the 1983 Homecoming King and Queen. Rena, a junior, represented Engineering. Bill is a senior Econ-Busi-ness major, who was nominated to represent the Track team without his knowledge. They staged an effective campaign which included a sheet stating Support your local Beach — vote Bill Homecoming King. Originally held on Friday the day before the game, the Homecoming parade is now held on Thursday evening. It included floats, bands and drum corps from area high schools. Student organizations and dorms such as Hand-in-Hand and Tower B made banners. Floats, made mostly by fraternities and sororities were built according to certain standards, and judged on presentation, construction, theme, originality, design and color coordination. Themes of floats varied from Broadway musicals to New York itself. 70 Homecoming Homecoming 71 72 Homecoming I I I Tomorrow! Tomorrow! A never ending stream of activities fill Homecoming week With the amount of activities available during Homecoming week, it was hard to choose where to go and what to do. Traditional activities along with new ones were held. Some cost money, some were free, while one even saved money. For the first time, on Tuesday October 25th a Beef-it-Up was held under a tent on the Cathedral lawn. Students could get a roast beef sandwich, potato chips, pretzels, fruit and a can of pop for $3.50. A souvenir cup with the schedule of events for Homecoming was also included. David Brenner, well known for his stand-up comedy, and for hosting the Tonight Show, appeared on Friday. October 28th at Carnegie Music Hall. For the student price of $5.00, the audience was treated to an enjoyable evening of Mr. Brenner's jokes and stories. His stories ranged from visits to his brother's house, to almost being arrested for jaywalking in Los Angeles. One story about sharks took almost thirty minutes to tell, because he kept stopping to tell other stories. One group in the balcony, eager to hear the end, kept yelling to Mr. Brenner to finish his shark story. Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band, Pittsburgh Music Magazine’s artist of the year, held a free concert at the carnival on Thursday October 27th. Some chose to stand back and listen to the rhythm and blues sound of Billy Price, while others decided that dancing was the best was to enjoy their evening. Wednesday evening, October 26th was Pitt Night in Oakland. Commonly known as Bar night, anyone wearing a Pitt t-shirt could buy drinks at happy-hour prices at a number of Oakland bars. Participating bars included Zelda's Greenhouse, Thirsty's. Danny’s and many more (of course an ID was required.) Homecoming 73 Students from various organisations, dorms, fraternities, sororities along with friends competed in the Almost Anything Goes Contest and the Carnival. They had booths at the carnival, which was held Thursday under the tent on the Cathedral lawn following the pep rally. These booths were judged on creativity, originality, and crowd pleasing ability; most of them were based on Broadway musicals. Some of the booths sold food while others entertained the crowd with games such as the one by the Nursing Student Organization. Based on the current Broadway musical Cats, the object of this game was to throw a mouse into a cardboard cat's mouth. Profits from this booth as well as most, benefited the organization. 1st place winner was The Society of Women Engineers, who had a food booth, and second place was the Nursing Student Organization. On Friday afternoon October Let The Memories Begin Students participated in activities for fun and profit 28th, teams of four students gathered on the Cathedral lawn for the annual Almost Anything Goes competition. Beginning as merely a keg roll (with Chancellor Wesley Posvar being a champion keg roller), it now consists of an obstacle course, which included the keg roll, eating a banana, holding a balloon between your legs and other hilarious tasks. The winning team consisted of members of Lambda Chi Alpha. The week ended with a victory over Syracuse in the football game. Though not winning by much (13-10), it served as a place for the memories to begin. Students walked away from the game on Saturday October 29 with not only a victory but also many memories from the past week. The King and Queen had been announced during halftime, along with winners from other events. They may have been winners or losers, perhaps ran a booth at the Carnival or maybe planned the keg roll. They could have even built a float, or just enjoyed David Brenner. But whoever they were, it was hard not to be involved in Homecoming. There was so much planning, participating and enjoying that one could do. Whatever your choice was, you'll always remember the week Pitt became Broadway. 74 Homecoming Homecoming 75 76 Weekends Weekends were made for . . . Variety of on and off campus activities give students a break from studying Fraternity parties are a college tradition. W hen one thinks of college weekends, fraternity parties are often the first thing to enter the mind. Pitt is no exception in keeping up this tradition. Fraternity parties arc a free (or very inexpensive) way to drink, dance, meet people and just have a good time. Greeks and independents are welcome at most parties. During fall rush (once dry rush is over) Pitt's fraternities pull out all the stops and create large parties that sometimes have a theme. This year we had Purple Passion Punch. Toga. Beach, Hotel, and Hawaiian parties to spice up our weekends. Students can also have great times at Oakland's bars. Zel-da's, Peter's Pub, the Sanctuary, and the Keg are the closest to the Pitt campus. All feature happy hours and special nights — like beer for a quarter and tacos at Zelda's. The Sanctuary is excellent for dancing and features live music. The Keg is smaller and perhaps a little more civilized. For people who don’t get carded , the bar scene is a little more expensive than a fraternity, but it's just as fun. Saturday afternoons are often for shopping or sightseeing in the Pittsburgh area. Downtown, Pitt students have visited the new PPG Place, the new Oxford Centre, Kaufmann’s, and other large, expensive stores. Station Square, the Gateway Clipper, the inclines, Fort Pitt, the Golden Triangle, and the museums are other choice sights to visit in the area. Shady-side is a smaller area of Pittsburgh. but closer to campus with its own interesting aspects. Beautiful homes and unique-shops line the streets of Shady-side for a nice change from Oakland. There are many different stores and points of interest for Pitt students to explore away from campus. For low cost entertainment Pitt students can see recent and older movies right on campus. On weekends, movies are usually shown in the David Lawrence Auditorium for only one dollar with a Pitt ID. This is an alternative to paying more than four dollars at a local theatre. Some of this year's movies were Flashdance,” Risky Business, An Officer and a Gentle-man. Trading Places, Porky's,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and The Big Chill. Pittsburgh is also a haven for the concert goer. This past year has included such concerts as Duran Duran, Loverboy, Billy Idol, Adam Ant, Billy Joel. Genesis. Van Halen. Moody Blues, Culture Club, and Ozzy Osborne. Local bands are also popular at places like Heaven where Pitt students saw such bands as the Romantics, the Houserockers, and The B.E. Taylor Group. Pittsburgh offers a wide variety of music for every listening pleasure. The Pitt campus has its own facilities that are open on weekends for students. The Student Union features ping-pong and pool tables. Trees Hall offers a variety of activities for those interested in physical fitness and sports. Also Schenley Park has many outdoors seasonal activities. Pitt is a campus with a wide range of interesting areas that are just waiting to be explored by Pitt students on the weekends. Weekends 77 Make Some Noise! Pitt fans help Panthers with wins The F iit football and basketball teams had a major advantage over their opponents this season: the support of the Pitt students. The students always came equipped to cheer at every game, whether that meant bringing buttons with Pitt logos on them, noiscmakers, or just their loud voices. Through the hot sun of late summer and the cold wind of winter during football games, to the enclosed overcrowded Fitzgerald Field-house for the basketball games, the students were always behind the two teams; they never gave up on them. In the football game against Syracuse. Pitt was losing with 30 seconds left in the game, with Syracuse in control of the ball. The Pitt students were instrumental in the Panther’s come- back to win the game by staying and cheering the team on while most other fans had left. The basketball team also knows the magic and the noise the students can create. In their overtime win against St. John’s, an old archrival, the students’ enthusiasm throughout the game put faith in the minds of the players. The players knew they could play their best in overtime and come out on top. The students were ecstatic when Pitt upset St.John's in the Big East win. With this type of support how could the football and basketball teams go wrong? The students supported the football team to the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State and supported the basketball team to the NIT tournament. 78 Spectators Where’s the Fluke? The football season, as usual, ended with a game against that old archrival Penn State. The game brought with it a sense of unity among all the Pitt students. They all wanted one thing — to beat Penn State which would prove to Joe Pa-terno that Pitt's win over Notre Dame was no fluke. Some students showed their The students carried their enthusiasm into Pitt Stadium on Saturday. November 19. 1983. Once inside and with the game-underway. the student section was on fire. Everyone cheered as loud as they possibly could, as they tried to get the Pitt players psyched enough to move the football down the field. They succeeded. Pitt was winning with one minute to go in the game with Penn State in control of the football. The students in anticipation of a win. gathered onto the football field sidelines. As the clock ticked down to zero, everyone poured onto the field as they thought the game was over and that Pitt came out on top. but the referees disagreed. Six seconds were put back on the game clock, just enough time for Penn State to score and tie the game at 24 points each. The students and Pitt players walked away from the field in disappointment and disbelief; only one thing was on their minds: Was this game a FLUKE, Joe? 1 KJi O 71PP1B spirit and enthusiasm by going to a pep rally on the Friday before the game. Led on by the Pitt cheerleaders, the Pitt Band and the Golden Girls, the students got together to show the football players how much they were behind them. Many others enjoyed a car parked on the Cathedral of Learning Lawn. This was not an ordinary car, it was painted with many phrases and choice words for the Penn State players and fans, and served as a symbol that Pitt wanted to destroy Penn State. Students took hold of sledgehammers and smashed the car to pieces. Pitt vs. Penn St. 79 Hey, Hey, Hey! It’s Engineers’ Week ’84 A week — 7 days lasting from Sunday through Saturday. For engineering students this means 5 days of classes till 4 pm. labs at 8 am and weekends that aren't even worth mentioning. But one particular week in March is slightly different. This week involves a giant Monopoly game, a soap box derby and cars made from Coke Cans. With a bit of the Irish luck it will be enough to forget about computer programs and lab reports. The 30th Engineer’s Week began on Sunday March 11 with an Engineering Open House in Benedum Hall and Auditorium. The central theme is always St. Patrick’s Day because it falls on that week each year. Each year there is another theme in which the floats, and game night booths are based on; this year it was Cartoons. The Open House began at 3 pm and provided an opportunity for parents and other people to see exactly what various departments do within the Engineering School. A presentation in the auditorium was followed by demonstrations throughout the building by the departments. A blood drive was held on Monday and Tuesday March 12 and 13 from 10 am to 4 pm in the Canteen on the first floor of Benedum Hall. On Tuesday evening students their cars powered by a Coke can. This event called Enginuity began at 7 pm in Benedum Auditorium and is the event in which students could show off their talents at making something out of nothing. Those who wished to participate were to make a car. the only requirement was that it was powered by a Coke can. Electrical Engineer's came in first with their theme of Flintstones, Miners (Hagar the Horrible) and Chemicals (Peanuts) were second and third. Game night consisted of various casino booths that followed the cartoon chosen by the department that ran it. It was held on Tuesday night from 6 to 10 pm on the 4-7th floors of Benedum Hall. Tickets were used instead of money to play the games. Each department was given so many tickets at the beginning of the evening, then at the end of the night all the tickets each booth received were collected. These were weighed and the largest amount won. Industrials whose theme was Mickey Mouse won first place. Second place went to Miners and Electrical third. Also at game night a large Monopoly game filling an entire room was set up. Instead of Boardwalk and Park Place, the places were Pitt buildings like the Chem Building and the Cathedral of Learning. Benedum, of course, was the highest priced property. 80 Activities Engineers' Week Acttvities Engineers' Week 81 Yabba Dabba Doo Much preparation goes into Thursday’s Events For every event that takes place, there is much planning and work to be done. For Engineering Week it's the Engineering Student Cabinet and all those who helped on some level. Some of the most important work was done by those who designed and built floats, created the skits that went along with the floats, and set up the events for Gimmick. The 198-1 parade, which ran throughout the streets of Oakland, began at 10 a.m. on March 15, 1984. Engineering students worked for weeks creating and building the floats. Ideas for the floats were pattered after the cartoon chosen by the department and were built on flatbeds out of wood, wire, crepe paper, and anything else that would make that float complete. Accompanying each float was a skit performed by members of the department. The skits were short and were done in front of the judges stand. Judged on float, costumes and skit enthusiasm, Mickey Mouse by Industrial Engineers came in first place. Second and third places went to Electricals and Chemicals. Arriving during the parade, St. Patrick and St. Patricia rode in a fire truck. The way they arrive is different each year and is kept a secret until the parade. John Hutchinson, a Chemical Engineer. anti Janice Welker, a Freshman, were voted by classmates to be St. Patrick and St. Patricia. After watching the parade in the morning, students proceed- ed to the Cathedral lawn for the Gimmick. Gimmick is a type of Almost Anything Goes which includes an obstacle course, sack race, egg toss and a tug-of-war. Covering most of the Cathedral's lower lawn, the Gimmick was just as fun to watch as it was to participate. For those who participated it wasn’t as easy as it looked. Many got tangled up crawling under the ropes, and found the hard way to go down the slide on the hill. The main event was the tug-of-war. The overall winner of Gimmick was Metallurgical Engineering whose character was Scooby Doo. with Civils (Patman) second and Miners third. Activities Engineers' Week 83 That’s All Folks! Week ends on St. Patrick’s Day Eve. Friday March 16, 1984 started early with the soap hox derby and ended late at the Shamrock Ball. The Annual Soap Box Derby, held on Lytton Street, began at 8 a.m. Each department built their own car. which was steered by someone in that department. Two of the branch campuses also participated. Titusville brought two cars and Greensburg had one car. All cars were powered by gravity. Judging of the cars was in four areas. First cars were run straight down the course on Lytton Street. Then they were driven through a serpentine to measure steering. Stability was tested by going over a small ramp. By stopping on a particular spot, the breaks were tested. Metallurgical's car was able to perform the best in all four areas and won first place. Second place was won by Electrical anti third by Mechanicals (Bugs Bunny). The Engineering Formal, commonly called the Shamrock Ball was held at St. Nick’s Cathedral until 1 a.m. for $20 a couple. After dinner, winners of the various events were announced. Including those already mentioned two awards that covered the entire week were announced. The first counted attendance at all the events, not just those with competitions. Chemicals were first. Industrials second and Electricals third. The last award given out was the Shamrock Award. This award for overall performance was won by Electricals. Second and third went to Industrials and Chemicals. Following the awards ceremony the band French Kiss” provided music for dancing. Though this week was a bit different. it entailed more preparation than any other week. It is one that will be remembered long after the day to day routines of the other weeks each term are forgotten. Even the students who didn't play an active role in the planning or preparation but preferred to watch the soap box derby or play games at Games Night will always remember the week without classes. 84 Activities Engineers' Week Activities Engmeers' Week 85 Black Week presented for students It was a week crammed with lectures, bazaars, debates, and concerts as the Black Action Society presented its 14th Annual Black Week, which ran from November 6th to the 12th. This year’s theme was Unity is the basis from which all efforts transcend, and a movement toward more harmony among Pitt’s individual black organizations was stressed. Black Week was also a celebration of sorts — it gave students a chance to honor black people and recognize their contributions to the community. From a program committee-consisting of approximately sixty members, and directed by President Daryl Davis, the BAS planned an exciting schedule of events which gained national attention as well as generating interest from Pitt students. The week was highlighted by speeches from Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), Dr. Benjamin Hooks, Dick Gregory, and Gil Scott-Heron. Speaking openly on controversial issues such as human rights and black political affiliations, these lectures came from unique and diverse backgrounds. Angela Davis is a well known activist, professor and the 1984 vice-presidential candidate for the Central Committee of the U.S. Communist Party. She spoke against anti-com- munist propaganda and discussed her views on the political situation in Grenada. Kwane Ture. also a civil and human rights activist, is the current leader of the All African People’s Revolutionary Party and originator of the popular phrase Black Power”. He called on all blacks to unite and form organizations as a means of combatting oppression. The present executive director of the NAACP, Dr. Benjamin Hooks also spoke to a large crowd in the Student Union Ballroom. He is a former criminal judge and Baptist minister from Memphis, Tennessee. Both Dick Gregory and Gil Scott-Heron emphasized the importance of the black vote and urged students to register to vote. Mr. Gregory's abilities include comedian, human rights activist, social satirist, philosopher and recording artist. Gil Scott-Heron is a man who expresses his political views through his music and prefers to be called a bluesologist.” He returned to Pitt after a positive response from a lecture last year. Adding more musical variety to the week’s activities was Noel Pointer, who gave an impressive concert in David Lawrence Auditorium on November 11. 1983. Mr. Pointer is a 86 Activities Black Week nationally known concert violinist. On November 9th, the BAS held a bazaar and art show with a variety of displays and handcrafted items for sale in the Forbes Quad Galleria. The whole week ended in a lively social on November 12, 1983 in the Galleria, celebrating a new sense of unity. Unity Activitles Black Week 87 Never A Dull Moment 88 Activities BAS Events Organization plans activities for members The Black Action Society of the University of Pittsburgh is aimed at promoting the interests of black students on campus and in the community. Besides their annual Black VX’eek, BAS also sponsors several other worthwhile events. One crowd pleaser held on December 2nd was the Fashion Talent Show, one of several events during Ebony Extravaganza W eekend. A Greek Step Competition held in Bencdum Hall on December 3rd raised money for the African Heritage Classroom building fund. Proceeds are to be used for construction of a new Nationality Koom. In conjunction with Martin Luther King.Jr. Day. BAS invited civil rights leader Yolanda King to speak on January 12th in Heinz Chapel. February proved to be a busy month, as it was Black History Month. BAS adopted the theme Black Consciousness: New fuel for an old fire and sponsored several exhibits which included blacks in creative arts, black Professional Women, Blacks in Politics, Medicine. Engineering. Education. plus many more categories. All of these exhibits were displayed in the Towers Lobby during the week of February 15 and were put together with the help of fraternities and sororities. On February 15. a march and rally emanated from the Cathedral Lawn and city. On the 17th. Pitt was honored to co-host the famous Melba Moore in concert. Singing her hits Keeping My Lover Satisfied and The Other Side of the Rainbow”, Moore thrilled a large audience with her performance in the Carnegie Music Hall. A Mr. and Mrs. BAS pageant held on March 24th produced winners Sharon Woodward and Walter Capps, and on April 28th a Senior Recognition Dinner sponsored by BAS was held in the Student Union. Aetivities BAS Events 89 You Gotta Have Heart Nursing Students show they care Nursing week was not only for Pitt's approximately 600 nursing students hut many events were also for other Pitt students and professional nurses. Nursing week is for gaining and giving knowledge and for having fun with fellow students. This year's theme. You Gotta Have Heart,” brought the otherwise isolated nursing students a little closer with the main campus to show off their knowledge and help a little at the same time. Nursing Week began with Primary Prevention Day in the Towers’ Lobby on Monday March 5, 198-1. The purpose of this day was to make students aware of how to prevent many common illnesses. Sophomore-nursing students were in the Towers' Lobby from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. taking blood pressures and passing out information. Students wore their full uniform, while they passed out information on a variety of subjects, ranging from high blood pressure to weight loss. They also answered many questions in a multitude of areas. Nursing students who didn't participate in Primary Prevention Day, wore their favorite nursing sweater or sweatshirt to kick off the first day of nursing week. Students were also on hand on Thursday at the Information Booth in Victoria Hall. On Tuesday and Wednesday, stutlents were also in the giving spirit. This time it was blood for the annual blood drive. This drive is known as one of the largest on campus. The lectures were presented for free to anyone interested. All lectures were presented in Room 125, where almost all nursing classes are held. Attorney Daniel Kennedy spoke on Tuesday March 6. He discussed “Malpractice and How to Avoid it. Now that nurses are also being sued, his lecture was important to all students. Surviving Breast Cancer was discussed by Jane Kart R.N. Ms. Kart provided information that was helpful in dealing with patients and family members with breast cancer. In Vitro Fertil- 90 Activitics Nursing Week i ation has brought new hope for parents who were previously unable to conceive. It has also brought up many moral and ethical concerns. Dr. Paul Zar-utskic. who has brought this new technique to Magee Women's Hospital, discussed it on Thursday. The last two events were just for the fun and enjoyment of the students. Friday afternoon the Almost Anything Goes was held in Victoria Lobby. The event consisted of an obstacle course. One had to get in and out of scrub suits, carry a bedpan blindfolded and race wheelchairs while keeping a cap on. First place winner was Judith Harvilla a junior. Tom Skelly and Lisa Puntureri. both sophomores. came in second and third. The Semi-Formal was held on Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh. Following dinner. Mr. G., a hypnotist worked his magic” on those in attendance. Once Activitics Nursing Week 91 8 Months Already? 83-84 Year ends The year that while going through it we thought would never end, did. Shouldn’t we he moving in instead of moving out? Things that we feel like we just unpacked are being packed again. We were standing in line outside Holland Hall selling hack our hooks that seemed like we only bought last week. For those returning in the fall, the end of the winter term meant registering again. Registering at Pitt always entails endless running between advisors and professors and standing in lines hoping the classes aren't cancelled. April always means end- less forms to fill out for graduating seniors. The Class of '84 had forms for caps and gowns, commencement and of course those all important applications for jobs. April also means the Spring Fling. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too springy. But even though it was rainy and cold, everyone was ready for warm weather and sunny days. Spring Fling started out with the final special dinner of the year in the cafeteria on Thursday March 29. 1981. The Pudding Wrestling, which was to be held in the Quad on Thursday, was rescheduled for Tuesday, April 3. Both male and female students wrestled in this variation of the more popular mud wrestling. Though they came out covered with pudding all participants had a lot of fun doing something their mothers' told them not to do — playing in their food. The usual softball, volleyball and street hockey tournaments were held on various fields around campus. New for this year was an Art Show of student talent in the William Pitt Union Art Gallery. On Friday March 29 a dance was held in the Assembly Room of the WPU. Roller skates were available on Saturday evening in the Quad for students to rent. Music was provided for the skaters by WPGH, which will be going to FM in the fall and becoming WPTS. The Almost Anything Goes was on Sunday April 1, 1984 in the Quad. Events included an egg toss, water balloon toss, watermelon eating contest, spoon on a string contest, M M on a spoon race, egg between the knees race, and a Where’s the Beef contest. Activities Spring Fling 93 Celebrate Good Times Ceremonies and Dinners are held for seniors Many of the separate schools and organizations held their own ceremonies to honor their graduating seniors. The Black Action Society had its Annual Senior Recognition Dinner on April 20, 1981. All Engineering seniors who graduated in December or would graduate in April or during the summer were honored at the Engineering Senior Recognition Night on Saturday April 28 at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. Each department’s outstanding senior was honored and that senior announced each of the seniors in their department along with that student's activities, honors anti awards. The outstanding senior had the option of giving out surprise awards. Following the ceremony. a reception was held upstairs.

All those nights studying and worrying until grades were posted were behind you now. It's time to start living a normal life. But what is a normal life? For at least 16 years you've been in school and living from test to test. For some, that kind of life will continue as they enter graduate or medical school.

The performing, directing, and all the technical aspects of the Studio Theatre are done by Pitt students. Some students can get credit in their Theatre Arts classes by being involved in this extracurricular activity. Donna Saul, this year's president of the Studio Theatre, says that a participant can do as much as he can or wants to, or he can do as little as he likes. There is no specific amount of hours needed since the program is done on a volunteer basis. The plays are selected by the Studio Theatre board and the Theatre Arts department faculty while the directors are responsible for picking the cast for each production. Then, students rehearse two to five weeks for every play, depending on the director's schedule. Many people come to view the performances with sixty to ninety percent of the theatre's ninety-six seating capacity being filled. There is no admission charge for undergraduates, but there is a one dollar fee for all other students and a three dollar fee for general admission to see these fine shows. .

A Festival of Joy What is a festival? A giant picnic, no doubt. What is a festival? It must be a place of entertainment. Surely, there will be bands playing with balloons swaying in the breeze. Indeed, all of this is part and parcel of Hand-in-Hand. But none of it makes sense until it is brought to life. The festival is a unique concept in community service annually organized by the students at Pitt. Four hundred mentally and physically handicapped children in the Greater Pittsburgh area participate in the Hand-in-Hand Festival, each child being paired with a Pitt student who serves as friend and guide throughout the day. The Festival has a dual purpose: it provides a day of fun and recreation for handicapped children and allows for self-expression. Secondly, the Festival exists to break down barriers between the handicapped population and the rest of the community. Forty game booths sponsored by student organizations, as well as a full schedule of stage acts, allow the guests to express themselves in an environment designed solely for their enjoyment. The Festival has received statewide recognition from Governor Richard Thornburgh and Mayor Richard Caiiguiri served as the 1984 Honorary Chairman. The Hand-in-Hand is truly a tradition, not only to the Pitt students and the children it intends to serve, but also to the City of Pittsburgh and the State of Pennsylvania.

Kim Kalp, and James Taylor The Government Relations Committee (GRC) acts as a liaison between Pitt students and government officials at the local, state, and national level. They also inform students of legislation which could directly affect their lives as college students. This year GRC held their annual Voter Registration Drive. According to Connie Kreischer, committee chairperson, the drive is one of the major functions, if not the most important, sponsored by GRC. It is really important that students vote because that's the only way we (students) can influence our legislators, said Kreischer. Not enough students vote, and that's too bad. According to Kreischer there is not a very good representation of students at the polls. The major objective of the drive is to make students aware of the issue at hand, or creating a better turn out at the polls. Government Relations Committee The Student Relations Committee strives to inform students about Student Government and to encourage participation in all areas of campus activities. They publish the Student Organization booklet which lists all groups recognized by the Student Government Hoard. The booklet is a useful guide to help incoming freshmen choose which organization they might want to join. In November, they launched their second annual charity drive for Children's Hospital. To collect the money, they sold red and green paper links which formed a giant chain that hung in the admittance lobby at the hospital. Each link had a personal holiday or get well message. They raised $370.00. which is $100.00 more than the previous year. 150 Orgonizationj Studenl Government Student Government Board The representative hotly of undergraduate students is the Student Government Hoard (SGB). It is composed of nine elected members, eight Hoard members and a President. The elections, which are open to all full time, non-CGS students, were held in November. The elected members began a one-year term beginning in January. Because it is elected, the Hoard is recognized by the University Administration and faculty as the official representative of full-time non-CGS undergraduate-needs and ideas. Student input is vital when administrators and faculty members contemplate decisions affecting students. This input is realized through the SGB. Members serve on such advisory bodies as Student Affairs Advisory Committee, Senate Council and University Senate. The Student Government Board exists to serve the students. Each term every student pays a Student Activities Fee. The Board has the final word on how this money is spent to benefit as many students as possible.

At home the team was close to being invincible. They won all four of their conference home games and finished with an overall home record of 11-5. The road games were not very kind to the Lady Panthers as all of their conference losses were away games and they finished with a -1-6 away game re- cord. Captain Jennifer Bruce had another outstanding year for Pitt. After being named Big East Pre-Season Player of the Year she went on to prove she deserved the honor. She averaged 23.8 points a game, first in the Big East. She also averaged 9A rebounds a game and had a shooting percentage of .515. With statistics like these it’s no wonder that she was named All-American. With Bruce and all of the other girls returning, next year should be even better. From, Left to Right: Stephanie Collins.

In the pre-season Pitt lost only one game and that was to West Virginia in Morgantown. The Panthers won the other eight games and the Golden Triangle Classic. In the Classic Pitt was paired against crosstown rival, the Duquesne Dukes. Pitt defeated the Dukes and made it to the finals where they faced Illinois State. The Panthers surprised many as they downed Illinois State and were crowned champions of the tournament. Then the Big East season began. Once again the Panthers fought hard but came up short more often than not. Pitt lost their first three conference games but then seemed to be coming alive. Once again they downed the Dukes, the second time this season. Then Pitt beat visiting St.John's for the second year in a row. The team traveled to Madison Square Garden and had their third consecutive win crushing Seton Hall. Syracuse broke Pitt's string of three wins with the score of 66-65, then the mighty Hoyas of Georgetown, the eventual NCAA champion, came to the Field House. The Panther’s kept the game close but the depth of Georgetown's bench was too much for Pitt as they lost 63-52. The team went on to beat Conneticut the road and their last three Big East home games including an exciting game against Villanova. This was the same team that beat them in the first round of the Big East Tournament. Pitt finished with a record of 18-13. 178 Men's Basketball Men's Basketball 179 Clyde Vaughan — Someone Special Clyde Vaughan — four years ago he came to Pitt as our top recruit. Since then he has proved that he deserved that honor, and more. During his first two seasons as a Panther he helped carry Pitt to the championship of the Eastern Fight Tournament. Then, prior to Vaughan's junior year Pitt entered the prestigious Big East Conference. A big transition needed to be made and Clyde made it with ease. As a team, there would be no conference championship but Clyde stepped in and promptly won the Big East scoring title in Pitt's first year of competition with a total of 613 points for an average of 21.9 per game. This season hopes were high for the team and Clyde Vaughan. Again Vaughan responded with outstanding games including a 37-point performance against Boston College. By season's end Clyde had become Pitt's all-time leading scorer and the first player in Pitt history to score over 2.000 points. Clyde’s total was 2.012. Clyde passed Larry Harris’ old record mark in the Big East Tournament against Villanova. Pitt lost that game but received an invitation to the NIT. The Panthers advanced to the quarterfinals giving the Pitt fans one last chance to watch Vaughan at work. Vaughan scored his 2()OOth career point in this game but Pitt lost to Notre Dame bringing Clyde Vaughan's Pitt career to an end. but what a career it was. When we look back on recent basketball seasons we will remember Clyde's fadeaway jumper, we will remember him outre-bounding an opposing player inches taller than him, and we will remember that Clyde always played his hardest. Vaughan only knew how to give one thing and that was his all — it did not matter that he had a bad back in a 1982 game against Duquesne, Clyde still played. And this season, even though he had sprained his ankle earlier in the week Vaughan had no plans of silting out the opening game of the Golden Triangle Classic. In that game he scored 23 points. We will look back and remember, and we'll smile. 180 Men's Basketball Kneeling (left to right): Curtis Aiken. Andre Williams, Jeff Robinson, Clyde Vaughan.

The Lady-Panthers lost in the opening round to Seton Hall and the men’s team fell to Villanova in the first round. The men were later asked to the National Invitational Tournament and their second season began. The team had a poor record in the conference but were determined to end the season on an upbeat note. Their first game matched them against LaSalle and the Pitt team notched their first upset with a score of 95-91. Florida State was a formidable-second round opponent but Pitt had already beaten this team in the pre-season. They beat them again, 66-65. Having scored two upsets on the road, the third game came to the Field House with Pitt hosting Notre Dame. This, too, was a team Pitt had already beaten but the Irish were not about to let it happen again. The Irish defeated Pitt, 72-64. This marked the last game for Billy Culbertson, Clyde Vaughan, and Steve Beatty. They almost ended their careers with an appearance in the N.I.T. final, but the quarterfinals weren't a bad finish either. 182 Big East N.l.T. — Los Angeles Bound — Pitt’s Olympic Hopefuls Every four years the best athletes in the world gather for the Olympic games.

The one who has the best chance of winning a medal is Roger Kingdom. While competing for the Panther track team last year he won the 110-meter hurdles. This prompted the U.S. track committee to place him on the Pan-Am team. There he won the gold medal. This year he won the NCAA title in the 55-meter hurdles, hut it is in the 100-meter hurdles he is expected to win at Los Angeles. Kingdom is also training for the 19K8 Olympic decathlon. Clyde Vaughan, Pitt basketball standout, has the opportunity to play for Great Britain. He is now an American citizen but he has not been one long enough to qualify him for the U.S. team. Two swimmers have a chance to make the team. They are Susan Hickman, a freshman on the Pitt swim team, and Sue Heon who took the year off to concentrate all her efforts on making the team. They face some tough competition but to have made it this far is quite an honor. 184 Olympic Hopefuls Olympic Hopefuls 185 Bill Fralic Left to Right; Row i _ c binic. Turner I L- on|M rs,J.

Four games were decided late in the fourth quarter. Of those four games Pitt won one. lost two, and tied one. It was those four games that smeared Pitt's record but, at season's end. the Panther's were champions in their own eyes, if not everyone's. The season started quite differently than last year. They weren’t the preseason number one team; they were one predicted to go 4-7. People criticized their lack of team spirit, saying everyone played for themselves. Having lost thirteen starters to graduation, including quarterback Dan Marino, the team knew they would have to play together to win and they did. It was this team unity that carried them into the Top Twenty a post-season bowl game, and prompted Pete Axthelm to say, They are one of the best teams in the country.” The team opened at Tennessee, a team picked by Sports Illustrated to be the national champs. These expectations quickly faded as the Panthers won 13-3. But in the game's last-play, quarterback John Cummings suffered a broken collarbone putting another obstacle in the way for the Pitt team. In the home opener against Temple, Pitt put another mark in the win column with an easy 35-0 romp of the Owls. John Congemi stepped in for the injured Cummings and proved he was the quarterback of the future as he passed for 171 yards. At Maryland the following week the bizarre finishes began. With the clock ticking away, the Panther's tried desperately to score and almost did. On the 11 yard line with 1:14 left, a pit-chout resulted in a fumble and the game ended in a 13-7 loss. West Virginia the following week proved no better. A rowdy crowd who hadn't seen their team beat Pitt since 1975 made enough noise to hinder the Panther offense. Even with this handicap Pitt led 21-17 late in the game. Again, a late touchdown was scored that caused continued Football 187 the Panthers to lose their second consecutive game. At home against Florida State it looked like another loss as the Seminoles scored on their first two possessions. But. behind the support of a soldout home crowd the team rallied to score two touchdowns and a field goal to win 17-16. After the game Coach Fazio credited the win to the crowd who gave the inspiration and lift they needed to win. Game 6. Louisville provided Pitt with a breather after three tough games. An aggressive Pitt defense forced four fumbles had two interceptions, and blocked a punt to lead the Panthers to a 55-10 win. Dwight Collins had two receptions which tied him withjulius Dawkins as Pitt's all-time reception leader. Navy, behind the running of the nation’s leading rusher. Napoleon McCallum, put up quite a fight. The Panthers, determined not to lose at home, pulled out a 21-14 win on a game-winning 39 yard touchdown pass from Congemi to Wallace. Bizarre finish number three came against Syracuse before a Homecoming crowd. With a score of 10-10 late in the 4th quarter the Panthers were driving for a touchdown. An interception of a Congemi pass with 30 seconds remaining seemed to spell tie, but Troy Benson saw otherwise as he intercepted an Orangeman pass. With seven seconds on the clock, on walked £2 to try the crucial field goal. Everyone in the stands was flipping through his programs asking, Who is he?” But as the ball was kicked he made sure everyone would know his name. In his first attempt in a Panther uniform, walk-on Pat Viancourt scored the game-winning three-points. Minutes later the goal post came crashing down as the crowd celebrated what may have been the most exciting continued 188 Football Homecoming game ever. The celebrating continued the following week against the Fighting Irish. Joe McCall became the first back to gain more than 100 yards against Notre Dame this year as he piled up 116 yards, and the Pitt defense held Allen Pinkett to 82 yards snapping his consecutive 100 yards games at five. On national television Pitt dominated the Irish and coasted toa 21-16 win. Back at home against Army, the Panthers cruised to a 38-7 win. Joe McCall ran for 246 yards putting him in the Pitt record book with the fifth-best single rushing game ever. But this easy win was marred by the injury to Tom Flynn with the Penn State game only seven days away. The last game of the regular season in front of a capacity-plus home crowd was bizarre finish number four. The Pitt-Penn State rivalry was further enhanced by Joe Paterno’s statement to the press describing Pitt’s win over Notre Dame as a fluke! The Panthers were going to prove otherwise as they totally dominated the game. (Remember the last game they dominated?) The Pitt offense gained 469 yards to Penn State’s 281. Pitt had 86 offensive plays to Penn State’s 52, and two of Penn State’s touchdowns came from Pitt fumbles in the 10 yard line. With a score a 24-21 and no time left on the stadium clock the celebrating began. But the announcer came over the P.A. system saying, ’’the game is not over.” A second look at the clock shows again no time remaining. Penn State kicked what appeared to be a no time remaining field goal end- ing the game, for a second time, with a 24-24 tie. Later the referees said the clock continued to run during a penalty which gave Penn State the precious six seconds to kick the field goal. This, Joe. is a real fluke! After the game Coach Fazio and the seniors accepted a bid to play in the Fiesta Bowl January 2, against Ohio State. The Fiesta Bowl representative claimed he still had the best team in the east. At first look the season may appear to be a failure with a 8-2-1 record but looking again you see a team of real champions. This was a team predicted by some to go 4-7. Erase just minutes off this season and you have an undefeated team. This team overcame all obstacles, never quit, and stuck together to the very end. A team described by senior Tom Flynn as, the best team I ever played on.” This was a team of true champions. They came so close but, oh, those bizarre finishes. 190 Football e Apke: Played Like A Pro lins. but Piet failed to convert on the two-point play so Ohio State still had a one point lead. The Panthers last points came from Snuffy Everett who, with only two minutes remaining. kicked a 37-yard field goal to put Pitt ahead for the first time in the game, 23-21. Ohio State had other ideas though, and with only 39 seconds left scored on a 39-yard touchdown play. But Pitt kept on fighting and made it to the Ohio State 24. Congemi went out of the game injured and in came ChrisJelic. His first pass was thrown out of bounds and then with only seconds remaining his second pass was deflected and fell incomplete. The game ended 28-23. So close, yet so far. Fiesta Bowl 193 Winning Season The Lady Panthers had an exceptional year finishing with a 7-4 record and a NCAA Northeastern Regional runner-up title. The team faced a tough schedule this year that included meets at Georgia and Florida, both ranked in the Top 10 in the nation last year. Other tough teams they faced were New Hampshire, Penn State, and West Virginia who were ranked second, third, and fourth in the region last year. Pitt’s biggest win this year was their victory over Penn State, the first time Pitt had ever beaten them. Senior Lisa Shirk captured the all-around title to help lead her team to victory. Shirk was invited to the NCAA championship at the end of the season and was, again, named an All-American. 194 Sports Women's Gymnastics SpOHS Women' Gymnastics I9!i 196 Sports Women's Gymnastics (From, left to right): Babbie Flock.

Sports Women's Gymnastics 197 Almost There At the beginning of the season Coach Frank D'Amico said he felt he had his strongest team ever and coming off a 12-4 season that said a lot. The Panthers didn't let their coach down as they improved their record to finish at 13-3. One of those losses came from arch rival Penn State. Coach D'Amico feels as soon as Pitt heats them it w ill put them over the hump and bring the team the national prominence they deserve. The Panthers lost to Penn State by only 11.70 points so they are very close to this national recognition.

Coach Leo Bemis in his Iasi year as head coach brought in what he called his best recruiting class ever. There were sixteen new faces on the Panther team this year and with all these freshmen the Panthers still improved their record from the previous year to finish at 9-10-1. The team opened against George Mason, a national contender. and continued to play strong teams throughout the season. The youth and inexperience may have cost the Panthers a few games this year but next year they should be stronger yet. With former Panther soccer great Joe Luxbacher taking over for Coach Bemis the soccer team should continue to grow until they win a national title. In 195. the University of Pittsburgh made soccer a varsity sport. They appointed as head coach the man who was instrumental in its start, Leo Bemis. Now, thirty years later. Coach Bemis is retiring front the sport he loses and has given so much to. Bemis’ accomplishments speak for themselves. His lifetime record at Pitt is 170-1 6-38. He coached teams in the .

The Year of the Freshmen Tlic Lady Panthers entered the 1983 1984 season as the reigning Big East champ. The ladies liked the feeling so much that they will enter next season as the champions again. Coach David Belowich faced the start of the 1983-84 season without Sue Hcon who took the year off to train for the Olympics. But Belowich used the Big East championship to recruit some new outstanding talent such as Tracy Pfister, Stacy Moller. Jodi O'Neil, Patricia Ney, and Susan Hickman. The season saw the ladies compile a record of 6-2. The season was only preparation for the Big East Championships though, where the swimmers jumped to an early lead over second place Syracuse. Susan Hickman set new meet records in the 50-yard freestyle, 200 medley, and 200 freestyle relays. Ney was runner-up in the 1 -meter diving and qualified for the NCAA on both the 1 and 3 meter boards. Tracy Pfister set a Big East record in the 200 I.M. and was on the record setting 200 medley team. Pfister also finished second in the 100 butterfly. At the end of the meet Pfister was named the winner of the outstanding swimmer award. The performance of these freshmen and the return of Sue Heon ensure a strong Pitt team for defending their title next year, and the year after, and ...

But Pitt used this pressure to help lead them to a second consecutive Big East championship and the Eastern Intercollegiate championship. During the season the team lost only one meet and won the other six. They entered the Big East championship as the clear cut favorite and disappointed no one as they finished 108 Vi points ahead of Syracuse who finished second. The start of the meet was the diving competition. When the awards for the three-meter event were given out it was a foreshadowing of what was to come as Pitt won four of the five-possible medals. The Panthers also finished the same way in the one-meter diving. Ed Bahen won the gold medal in the 50 and the 100 yard freestyle and was also a member of the record setting 400 and 800 freestyle relay teams. Later in the meet Bahen finished second in the 200 yard freestyle. But that didn’t disappoint him because the number one finisher was teammate Greg Murphy. The third and fourth place finishers were also Pitt team members. Murphy was later named winner of the Outstanding Swimmer award. Fred Lewis was named coach of the year. After winning the Big East and Eastern Intercollegiate championships the team seems assured of a great recruiting year. W ith all the talent they already have it hardly seems fair. Then again, all’s fair in love and war so let Pitt's war with the Big East rage on. Sports Men's Swimming 207 Row I (Right to Left): Mike McCallcy. John Dusch, Jack Shuten.

The men felt that the success of their season could he measured by whether or not they finished above or below .500. Early April brought Pitt two home matches in one day. In the morning the Panthers met and defeated St. Vincent's College. Later, in the afternoon Pitt won its second match of the day over CMU. These victories brought the season record to 7-7.

Pitt used this meet for timed trials. The true test for the runners came at the Big East Indoor Championships and at the NCAA meet. At the Big East the men came in third as Garland Brown was named the outstanding track performer at the meet. Roger Kingdom won his second NCAA title at the indoor track and field meet. He was victorious in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 7.08 seconds. Todd Colas earned All-America honors at this same meet by placing sixth in the 1,000-meter run. When the outdoor season began Roger Kingdom was not a member of the Pitt team. He chose to run independently since he was training for a spot on the Olympic team. Without him, the track team continued to perform and achieve as two members qualified for the NCAAs. Garland Brown participated in the 800-meter run and Darryl Shepherd competed in the 110-meter high hurdles. The women's track team was also enjoying a productive year. Although the team is made up of a small group they had a good showing at the WVU Invitational. The ladies won three events — Edith Butler won the 400-meter dash. Renee Henderson won the 300-meter dash, and the 1600-meter relay team was also victorious. Renee Henderson qualified for the nationals in the 55-meter dash.

With four returning starters they were looking forward to repeating that goal, and they were looking beyond the Big East. The women played a tough schedule that featured many volleyball powerhouses including Florida State whom the Lady Panthers defeated in September. Then, in the last regular season match Pitt met Penn State for the second time. Pitt lost this match at University Park in four games. The one game of the match that they won was a marathon with the final score being 21-19- With the match loss the team entered the Big East Champion- ships with a record of 27-10 which was good enough for first place in the Big East Conference standings. But that was not enough for the ladies. They wanted to repeat as Big East Champions and go on to the NCAA Tournament and put in a good showing there. However, their dreams would not come true. After four matches at the championships Pitt had defeated Boston College, Seton Hall. Villanova, and in the semi-finals, Syracuse. This set up the final between Providence and Pitt. Pitt lost this match and their title 19-17, 15-7, 15-10. So the Lady Panthers' season came to an end — as Big East runner-up and with a successful record of 31 wins and 11 losses. 220 Sports Vollcyball Sports Vollcyball 221 222 Sports Volleyball Front (left to fight): Trainer K.

The team started off with wins against Youngstown State and Lehigh hut then things went sour. A tough schedule which included matches at Penn State and Cleveland State with Clarion at home proved too tough for Pitt as they lost all three. The team finished with a 5-12 record. The season did have some bright spots though, as JeffJelie became Pitt's All-Time career wins leader with 82 and earned All-American status. Jeff Jelic: He’s Number One Although the team had a disappointing season there were some bright spots. One was in the name of Jeff Jelic. This season he surpassed Coach Kande Stott-lemyer to claim the number one spot in Pitt's record hook with the most career wins (82). Jelic competed for two years at 158 pounds where he was Eastern Wrestling Champion both times. This year he moved up to 16” pounds and again won the championship.

Also, all over campus new buildings were being erected or renovated such as Mervis, Pitt Stadium, parking lots, and the fraternity complexes. Soon before graduation seniors were asked to give their thoughts on the remodeling and on impressions of Pitt in general. Merc are some of their special thoughts. — I think Pitt is an excellent university. Its big city location gives one the opportunity to grow in independence and responsibility. while the dorms and myriad meeting-places around campus give the chance for long-lasting friendships and memories to be built. — Pitt provides students with the ability to develop pride in their profession. — I leave Pitt with a genuine feeling of pride for my university. I know I made the right decision four years ago. — The game’s over now. Beam me up Scotty; there's no intelligent life here. — I came here with ten grand and a sense of humor. I'm leaving with nothing but two pieces of paper. — I have gained more than an education — I've gained an international perspective. — Pitt is like a toothache that I've had for four years — it hurt, I got used to it and I can't wait to end it. — Reality is no longer hypothetical. — It (the renovations) means progress to me. — I think it speaks very favorably of the University of Pittsburgh — that they have enough pride to be concerned about its appearance. — The projects show planning and creativ- ity- — The renovations add a certain amount of class to the campus and shows that a university doesn't have to be a stark environment. I only hope that the Student Union and Mervis will stay clean and unaffected by vandalism in the future. — Student Union is just great — it makes you feel that the University officials agree that the students deserve the very best in all phases of education and comfort. — Good improvement — we now have a taste of the past and of the future. — Mervis sure makes an architectural statement nestled at the one end of campus surrounded by Gothic structures. Neo-Classic, and itself a mirrored jewel box reflecting these grand dames of architecture. — Of course I have mixed emotions about leaving Pitt — the parties, the football games, the final exams . . . No, one can ever really leave Pitt. 248 Seniors Saeed A. Al-Ghamdi Mustafa E. Al-Saleh Michael G. Altavilla Michael Anastas Martha L.

The actual photographic session may have taken only fifteen minutes but the preparation took much longer. Choosing the right thing to wear was no easy task and once there we had to make sure our hair was neat and that our outfit had survived the snowstorm — I had two weeks to choose from for an appointment, so why did I have to choose the day it snowed?” some thought. And when these obstacles had been hurdled there were forms to fill out and long waits to endure when the photographers ran behind schedule. At last it came time to be Picture This There are certain things in our college life that we all look forward to — of course up there in a class all by itself is the diploma and the rewards that go with it. But along the way things occur that remind us that our ultimate goal is approaching. It seemed so far away at freshmen orientation but as we began registering for upper level courses we knew the time was nearing. Then, finally. it was our senior year. We began inter- photographed. Following the photographer’s instructions we stood, then sat; we tilted our head one way, then another; we smiled, then did a serious pose; then we were finished. We gathered our things and sent off to class. The person being shot by the other photographer we will probably never see again. In most cases the people next to us in this book are strangers. But, we all share one thing — we have made it; we have earned our college degree. For this, we salute Pitt’s Class of 1984. Seniors 259 w U Z Scott Lynn Ackermann Jereleigh Archer. Jr. Kenneth W.

Greek Week can be most accurately described as the ultimate celebration of Grceklife at Pitt. Each year the entire Greek system joins together in an effort to raise funds for a worthy charity. The 1984 Greek Week Charity was The University Health Center of Pittsburgh’s FAMILY HOUSE. Through efforts made in Greek Week, Pitt's fraternities and sororities will play an active part in making the University of Pittsburgh someplace special, (ireek Week is also a celebration of fraternity and sorority friendships with one another. This special week is for both fun and competition. Each year the Greeks compete for the trophies and prestige. Besides the hard work that is put into raising funds, Greek Week provides Ed Polotina and Cheryl L. Pcrpccm Greek Week Chairmen many other activities. Events such as the Dance-a-thon, Greek Sing, Talent Night, Chariot Race. Fun and Games Night. All Greek Mixer The Greek Week Formal, allow the Greeks to interact and get to know one another. The fraternities and sororities also lend a hand in the community by donating their blood to the Pittsburgh Blood Bank, their canned goods to the Pittsburgh Food Bank and their time to be a Greek Greeter at the Family House. We would like to thank those individuals who worked to make Greek Week 1984 a success.

This new program has given both a low cost and comfortable place to stay, for family members of a person seeking the highly specialized treatment available at one of the University Health Center hospitals. Along with providing shelter the house allows the families to share their problems with others. People coming to Pittsburgh from different parts of the world have taken advantage of this program. It has been this charity that the Greek life at Pitt has given most of its attention. The Greek Week Charity Drive was held February 3rd through March 28th, 1984. The sororities and fraternities raised $45,000.00 for the Family House. In addition to their financial support, four representatives from each sorority and fraternity will be volunteering daily at the Family House. This is the first time a volunteer program has been part of their schedule of events. It is obvious to all that the Greeks at Pitt care enough to make Family House a home! Gieek Week Family House 27?

Our size also helps to form a more solid brotherhood. Phi Delta Theta is a fraternity not just four years, but for a lifetime. — George P. Bucma Jr. Picture II): Bottom Row : Rayjasniccki.

Many people brand Greek-let-ler organizations with being elitist, discriminatory, having bought friends”, and most of all hearty partiers or party animals . To help outside observers, mainly the university administration, local authorities, and surrounding community break their stereotypes, the Interfraternity Council has enforced new rulings on parties and Rush. Now parties must be invitation only, with no open ads of alcohol and a 1:00 a.m. curfew. Rush went dry this year and will stay that way. All of the Greek community at Pitt is working together to enforce these new policies, and to prove Greek life is a healthy mixture of socializing and classes. Importance is placed on leadership. education, friendship, involvement in other areas of the university, and just plain old fun. This can be seen by the comments of many members of the Greek community, on the next few pages. The many pictures also help sum up the unity and great times Pitt’s 1983-1984 Greeks shared. The experiences will only get better, and the memories will last a life time, lake a look . . . 116 Grcck Grcck Life As a junior going through rush, I had some idea of what sororities were all about; social outlets, if nothing else. However, never would I have believed that anywhere could be more of a home away from home”, than Chi Omega. The girls here are anything but typical stereotype of a sorority girl. Here in Chi Omega, we strive for unity, lasting friendships, and scholarship before social type obligations . This is really what Greek life is all about. Sue Sturdcvant, 'hi Omega “I joined a sorority because I lived off campus and I started to feel very detached from campus activities. Sorority life has helped me meet new people and make lasting friendships. Lisa Mastrangelo, Alpha Delia Pi Grcek Greek Life 317 GREEK LIFE “I have learned far more than any textbook could ever offer me. Responsibility, dignity, scholarship, friendship, and love have all come to me here at the university, most especially through Chi Omega. Cathy Ripcpi. Chi Omega If I had to make the decision of joining a sorority or not joining one all over again, I would make the same decision. I joined the group where I felt most comfortable and felt I could make long-lasting friends. Most involvement with the sorority doesn’t have to end with graduation, and for me, it won’t.” Ellen L. Csikai, Theta Phi Alpha 318 Greek Greek Life Mi “Delta Delta Delta has been a rewarding experience for me. She has given me personal growth, treasured memories, and several cherished friendships. I am grateful that I seized the opportunity to share the special unity that a sorority can offer.” Cheryl Perpeiua. Delta Delta Delta “Chi Omega has helped me mature through leadership positions and friendships in a large group. The activities in the sorority, both social and community oriented have given me memories that will make my college years at Pitt more than just long nights spent with textbooks. I know I have greatly contributed to the campus as well as the Pittsburgh community, and this has made me feel good about myself.” Wendi Westcoti, Chi Omega “Being a fraternity member has a lot to offer, ties and bonds that last forever. It's really hard to believe until you become a member of a fraternity. I came to Pitt not knowing anybody. This offered me a sense of security and belonging, which you need in such a big university as this. Greek life prepares you for being a human being in a functional society because a fraternity itself is a small society and you have to interact with the people there, people with different temperaments and talents and convictions.” Kick Pollock. Sigm« Chi (president of the I.F.C.) Grcek Grcck Life 319 RENOVATIONS Under the topic of renovations, the Greek community is no exception. August this year marked a new beginning for eight Greek-lctter organizations. That was the month when Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi. Phi Kappa Theta, Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Kappa Alpha, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Delta Sigma Delta will be able to move into the new Greek complex. The complex is located up past the football stadium. The toal cost is approximately $450.(X ) for each unit, which includes the construction costs, some site work, furnishings for sleeping and study areas, and architectural and engineering fees. The university owns the land, and w ill provide $350,00 while each participating fraternity pro-sides $100,000. Pitt will own the unit and will enter into a 99-year lease with the fraternity, granting the fraternity exclusive use of the unit. The maximum student occupancy per unit is set at 25. Each fraternity will be assigned eight parking spaces to allocate to their members. Another renovation is an attempt to unite the Greeks to form a solid Greek system. The I.F.C. formed the Fraternity Unification Committee to avoid a similar happening to that of Amherst College. The whole Greek system was abolished at Amherst for reasons which are still unclear. This committee, lead by Tony DeFiore, feels that the bickering among individual fraternities must come to an end. especially with the new Greek complex. :t n '?■' da FRATERNITY HOUSING PROJECT .SITE PLAN © © o4:7 •—-n ‘ • m - • Slit StlLCIIONS o a two Im © S uClu ( ) Odu I .

Closing Advertising 335 840380166 We have come a long way since that early fall meeting where, when discussing a theme for our book. Joyce came up with Revisions”. All around us revisions were occuring — campus buildings. academic programs, and even the yearbook. Now. 336 pages later it is time to bring Revisions” to a close. But. revisions never really close, or end. It is like the domino effect, or rabbits multiplying. Success breeds success so when revisions are successful, and they usually are. it is only natural for more to occur. So, we envision many more in the future and we look ahead to them. but. we also look back. When we began this book we never imagined what lay ahead of us. So much work is put into the production of it. Much of the time is just preparatory work — scheduling, organizing, planning, rescheduling. reorganizing, replanning, and revising. And once production is in full swing the hours get even longer. It is not always easy to plan time well. We found that we needed at least twice the time we thought we would to do the little things, the finishing touches. This year was definitely tiring, but also rewarding. The day of a deadline was always hectic and the tension mounted. We may not have taken the time to say thank you to the people who made our job easier. And there were many. Thank you must go to our advisors: Larry Lunsford, Terry Milani. and Wilfred Tremblay: George Stewart, C.T. Miller, and Chuck Reed; Ed Le-tour, Len Gendry, Ray Christina, the Sports Information Office, (JPI. The Pitt News, Ivan Santa-Cruz, John Tymitz, Gerry Abbot, Elkie Secher, Cathy Rice, and everyone at the Student Activities Office. And last, but in no way least, to our staff — without you there would be no revisions. Larry 8 Mary 336 The End R QLDkoi2 Z) C-3l $840380166 STACK REF. BOOft . • DATE DUE '1986
