HEINZ MEMORIAL CHAPEL located on the East lawn of the Cathedral of Learning, was dedicated in 1937 to John Henry Heinz. The Chapel stands as a non' denominational house of worship for student, faculty and administrators of the University of Pittsburgh. However, for many the chapel stands removed from the path traveled between classes.

The essence of the year lies in the optimistic prospects it has attributed to the campus of the future. Having survived the year of the Big Brother and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Bicentennial in 1987, we at the University of Pittsburgh found ourselves midway between two dominating events. We weren't caught-in-the middle so to speak, yet the year gave us an opportunity to reflect on our campus as a whole; its traditions, academics, resources, and components. As a consequence, this year's Panther Prints staff went Behind the Scenes to capture the complement of this remarkable university and give the reader the inside account. A University is much more than an institute of higher learning. It is a cultural habitat that breeds individuals with a zest for achievement and provides the environment for fulfillment of individual goals. For most of us, it is just as much a social experience and leaves the graduating senior with a lifetime of unparalleled memories. Pitt is no exception, and with an enrollment of 20,000 students, one can be sure that each of us has a much more vivid portrait of this university than a faded image of the Cathedral of Learning. At present, the mood here at Pitt is one of healthy confidence; stability. Even with some unpopular modifications established in the five year plan and decreases in federal aid to students, Pitt's enrollment is up from last year and the University's national stature and international reputation are both on the rise. FOR SCOTT PAGE, nothing could be finer than a grilled hot dog and a cold Iron City before a football game.

On Stage and Waiting Behind the Scenes THE CROWD HAD MUCH to cheer about as Pitt trampled East Carolina for another Pitt victory. INTRODUCTION 5 Although the year was bound by aspirations for the future, it was by no means static. Perhaps the University's situation is best stated by President Wesley Posvar: We chart the future, building upon the past; progress is the essence of the University. We are the heirs of millennia and the progenitors of change. In accordance with this philosophy, the University of Pittsburgh is now entering its stage as the Campus of the Future. Progress is accelerating as Pitt modernizes its administrative and academic computing and telecommunications system. This network will permit voice, data, and video images to be accessible from all areas of the campus. Students will be able to enter the main computers from their dorm rooms and receive information from any system throughout the University. Also included in the project are plans for an integrated voice and data Private Branch Exchange. This will modify the present phone system, allowing for much more flexible services on the Touch-tone system. Skeptics may question why Pitt was chosen for such a comprehensive undertaking. For one, the campus is located in the third largest corporate headquarters in America and provides an opportunity to experiment with a variety of applications. Secondly, nearly every university department, ranging from English to engineering, will benefit from this computer technology. Campus life no doubt will experience major changes in the immediate future, yet for the present, the University of Pittsburgh is patiently waiting backstage, behind the scene, for that curtain guarding the future to open.

Campus of the Future INTRODUCTION Celebrating Two Centuries of Excellence The tiny academy lying deep in the forests of Western Pennsylvania opened its doors as an institution of higher learning in 1787. Called the Pittsburgh Academy, it expanded, moved and was proceeded by the Western University of Pennsylvania in 1819. Today in its present home of Oakland, the University of Pittsburgh is preparing to celebrate its Bicentennial in 1987. As Pitt proudly inaugurates its next century, the nation as a whole will also be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. President Wesley Posvar hopes to incorporate this fact in the activities planned for the 1986-87 academic year. In preparation for the bicentennial celebration. University committees have adopted an official symbol taken from the design used in the University Medal. Working behind the scenes, the members of the ad hoc bicentennial committee have decided that the celebration theme should be a serious one, focusing on the direction of the University in its third century. In an effort to attract a nationwide audience to this spectacular event. President Posvar has announced that the 52-member Association of American Universities will hold its annual gathering of its members' presidents here in Pittsburgh in 1987. HILLMAN LIBRARY is sometimes known more as a social gathering place than an academic center. SIX DEDICATED PITT FANS joined forces with the student body as Pitt broke the world's record for face painting during the Oklahoma game. 1 BEHIND THE SCENES I Poised to enter its third century, the University underwent several academic reformations this year as designated by the Five Year Plan. When first introduced, this plan caused quite a disturbance among students, particularly those belonging to the Pharmacy School and the Graduate School of International Affairs. However, when the final recommendations were released, both schools remained intact in lieu of a few budget and faculty alterations. Thus the plans are drawn, the foundations laid and the stage is set for a momentous third century. BILL WALLACE PERFORMING in the shadow of Pitt's athletic history.

Cruising down Forbes and Fifth Avenue, you carefully scope in all of the popular Pitt hangouts. Traditional favorites include C. J. Barney's, Zelda's, Peter's, The Sanctuary and more recently, the UpStage. For the chronic fast food binger there is an assortment of late night convenience stores. Dave and Andy's, Homemade Ice Cream and the new Primanti Brothers Restaurant provide exciting varieties to the styro-food syndrome. Pitt students never ran out of an excuse to order out for pizza either, as local businesses competed for the best gimmicks, prices and quality of pizza. Offsetting the neon cascade of Oakland's shopping district are the im- pressive works of architecture attributed to this university. Among the 53 campus buildings, five are recognized as Historical Landmark Buildings. They are the Cathedral of Learning, Heinz Memorial Chapel, and Stephen Foster Memorial on the Oakland campus; the University Residence on Devonshire Street, and the Allegheny Observatory in River-view Park complete this historical perspective. This year, Heinz Chapel, the Cathedral of Learning, Pitt Stadium and St. Paul's Cathedral all were affected by the frenzy of construction and renovation on campus. Amidst such prestigious institutions, Pitt students can recognize the significance of their advantageous campus location.

Rand McNally Company rated the cities on nine major categories: climate, housing, health, crime, transportation, education, the arts, recreation and economic outlook. Although Pittsburgh did not rate number one in any of the categories, it did not rank last either. This middle of the road status is what clenched the title. The number one spot was as much of a surprise to Pittsburghers as it was to everyone else. “Some people will find it hard to believe, said Michael D. Kostic, Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce official. Others predicted a tremendous Yuppie invasion on the city while the unemployed still look elsewhere for residence. If Yuppie invasion however, is in the future for Pittsburgh, they'll be accepted. Pittsburgh is quicky moving from steel mills to high tech. While local mills make announcements of plant closings, the U.S. defense department announced Pittsburgh as the site for its new software and research center. Pittsburgh is also in the process of finishing its five billion dollar downtown redevelopment program which includes the Port Authorities Subway system. Going from “smokestack haven, to the “most livable city was to say the least not something even Pittsburghers expected, but it's a title we can accept with pride. Pittsburgh I O INTRODUCTION ID Bznikx Engineers' Week The Incredibly Engineered Egg Lift nginuity was the name of the game as Pitt's engineering school kept the tradition of engineering week alive. Enginuity is an event that was to test the participants' talents by applying their studies in competition. Team members were challenged to engineer a device that could lift an egg from the ground and set it on a shelf ten feet away. THE CROWD WATCHES on as team members got sot to tost their creations. COMPETITION RUNS WILD as eggs begin their ascent. TWO PROUD OWNERS display their engineering knowhow.

SHOWING THE TEAM SPIRIT of the Gimmick Activities are: Victor Sanchez, Lisa Topolsky, Barry Greene, Patty Black and Karen Kusinski. ifter months of doing little more than studying, engineering students had the chance to relax and enjoy the outdoors while taking part in Gimmick. On March 14, the Cathedral Lawn was a veritable ocean of engineers who had gathered there to watch or participate in the events. The engineers were kept running all afternoon with events which included an obstacli course, egg toss, sack race, and a tug-of war. Teams were composed of student: in the same department. All in all it wa enjoyed by everyone there. AN EAGER CROWD awaits the start of th. games on the Cathedral of Learning lawn.

With all the preparation that went into the event, it was a great success. Each department from the School of Engineering sponsored a game. Other engineers got the chance to test their skills at everything from monopoly to roulette. In this atmosphere of excitement there's no winners or losers, just competition. THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE was waiting for those who were willing to take a chance. ROMAN GLADIATORS guarded the entrance to the games sponsored by the Industrial Engineers.

Eating, drinking, and dancing are among the evening's festivities as well as awards presentation for the honors received during the Week. This is a nice and easy way to bring a week full of excitement and competition to an end. JUST RELAXING AND ENJOYING the company of friends is one of the best parts of the evening. THIS COUPLE TAKES a breather while waiting for the activities to continue. A DELICIOUS BUFFET was one of the many highlights of the fulfilling evening. Engineers' Week ACTIVITIES JmJi Writer's Conference Year of the Pennsylvonio Writer sported its usual parade of award winners while offering subtle difference from its predecessors. By bringing in a total of ten successful writers, the conference was bigger than ever before. What started out nine years ago as an event that happened over a Friday night and Saturday morning has evolved into a full weekend affair, with this year's Conference beginning at noon Friday, March 29, and lasting until Sunday, March 31. Friday evening marked an additional chance for nostalgia buffs to take in a screening of the classic film Casablanca, followed by an appearance by its distinguished writer, Julius J. Epstein. Saturday presented black activist-poet, Sonia Sanchez and 1977 Lamont Prize Winner, Gerald Stern, both of whom joined Jack Gilbert to give readings.

Black Week ACTIVITIES Deaf Awareness Day Silence Explodes Into Music he Silent world of the deaf and the hearing impaired exploded into music and laughter as Deaf Awareness Day got into action at the William Pitt Union. Hearing impairment and deafness afflict over 14 million Americans, and trying to blend in can be a major obstacle. Bruce Nisberg, chairman of Deaf Awareness Day, said, “We have to get the hearing community and the deaf community together so we can be friends. People look at us as though we are strange. We have to make it easier for us to fit in. Karen Walkney, along with her signing group Beautiful Hands, signed the lyrics and danced to the music of many songs, including the new song “We are the Children. Ken Meese, from television station KDKA, was the emcee for the day. He said that he had done public interest stories on the deaf before but never had the chance to perform at such an event before. Meese said he had met Walkney before but hadn't realized she was deef at first. He since has learned about Beautiful Hands and the current program at Pitt. “It's quite interesting that Pitt now offers the (sign) language as a foreign language. It opens up a whole new world now for students. Christmas Murphy, a Pitt junior, said I saw a poster for the sign club and it fit into my plans of special education so I just went to a meeting. Then I started taking the classes. Now a secondary English education major, she has been signing for about two years. Junior Mike Elliot, who is involved with the YMCA's Camp Get Together for Deaf Children, said “I just started taking the classes with Karen (Walkney).

Honors Convocation ACTIVITIES - NURSING WEEK With Nurses Anything Goes m. lmost anything goes was the theme of the day as the Pitt nurses took a break from the books to celebrate this year's Nursing Week. The Victoria Hall lobby never saw so much commotion as today when our girls took off their caps to have some fun. Bedpans, wheelchairs, surgical gloves and anything else imaginable became props for the festivities. Relay races of all kinds became the mode of competition between members of the different classes. After the long hours of studying nurses put in, almost anything goes is just a fun time to compete. WHEELCHAIR RACES were but one of the events our nurses participated in.

After dinner a presentation was made to the Western Pennsylvania Make-a-Wish Foundation for $880.40. Proceeds from this year's nursing week benefited Make-a-Wish. The foundation was established to aid terminally ill children in Western Pennsylvania. Their primary goal is to help satisfy these children's wishes while there is still time. The rest of the evening was spent dancing and socializing. MAKE-A-WISH REPRESENTATIVES, Mr. and Mrs. William Atkins wore on hand to receive the donation.

Nursing Week ACTIVITIES - Homecoming Week Panrhermania Pride ' omecoming '85 erupted on Pitt just in time to save us all from the hassles that come with two months of classes. Homecoming has long been a tradition at universities as a time for parades, parties and an extra special football game. This year at Pitt was no exception. Panthermania became the theme for Homecoming '85. With the spirit of the Blue and Gold following a jagged path through football season, the boost to Pitt's morale and pride was a welcome relief. Panthermania was kicked off on Monday morning when students voted HOMECOMING ROYALTY, Karen Eastley and Mark Masters, this year's King and Queen. PRESIDENT POSVAR escorts the King and Queen around the Pitt stadium. SOME CLOWNING AROUND at the Homecoming Carnival by two French Club members. Homecoming Week ACTIVITIES for their choice of King and Queen. This year's winners were Mark Masters and Karen Eastley. Mark and Karen were radiant as Pitt's choice for Homecoming royalty. Radiance was abundant at the Pan-thermania parade as well. Not even the rain could keep students away from the annual parade through Oakland. Colorfully decorated floats, designed by the various student organizations, weathered their way around campus to help brighten the spirits of all who attended. The streets were brought to musical livelihood as the Pitt Marching Band and bands from various high schools in the Pittsburgh area celebrated the tradition of homecoming. Panthermania was a wonderful, and needed, display of the pride and enthusiasm Pitt students can show for their school. Homecoming Week ACTIVITIES A Sploshing Success s Homecoming week continued at Pitt, Panthermania activities continued to dominate the campus scene. On Thursday night the Cathedral Lawn was taken over by a circus-like tent which became home to the Panthermania Carnival. Students crowded into the tent to take part in the fun. Student organizations sponsored boothes featuring a variety of activities and refreshments ranging from caricatures to funnel cakes. Everyone seemed to enjoy eating and playing games and reports were heard around campus that Foge became the hit of the carnival by swallowing thongs? The highlight of the carnival was the dunking machine. Any anxiety being repressed from professors to sweethearts was alleviated by students who took turns downing their prey. The dunking machine was sponsored by the Nursing Student Organization and walked home with first prize for best booth. saniAiiov HWM Suiuiomuioh L£ 7BIIIIIIIIIIC11IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII illlllllllVlItllll’IIIIIIIIJIIIIIIIIIIi Roll Out mm n October 26, the Cathedr.il Lawn was once again home to the annual Keg Roll. Teams of men and women, led by our president Wesley Posvar, competed in many outrageous tasks. Beginning with an obstacle the Keg course, Pitt students competed in the keg roll, and then on to eating bananas, holding a balloon between their legs and sliding through oil. Brothers from the fraternity. Phi Kappa Theta, were the victors. Homecoming Week ACTIVITIES Homecoming Week ACTIVITIES Homecoming Spirits coming festivities were slightly less vibrant than in past years. This was evidenced by the less than huge turnouts at the various pre-game activities. Some die-hard fans would argue that the roughly thirty students, not counting the band, that showed up for the big pep rally was an impressive showing for a Thursday night. However, these people are few and far between. Of course the small turnout may well be justified. How wound up can thousands of disappointed fans get about a football team with a 1-6 record? Still, it may not have been school spirit, but something was brewing in the air throughout those five fine Homecoming Week ACTIVITIES October days which comprise Homecoming week. Yes, the 1984 Pitt Homecoming certainly had its own unique spirit.” The main attraction for students was the mid-week Panther Prowl through Oakland bars. The emphasis here was not so much in rallying 'round our boys in blue and gold as it was in rallying 'round the bar to down a few pre-game spirits. So the 1984 Panther football team might have been a bit less than expected. But, if Pitt students found it tough to get psyched for the big game, at least they could mourn the team's losing ways in the spirits of Zelda's, Danny's, or Peter's. I tomecoming Week ACTIVITIES Orientation Week Making New Friends and Having Good Times rientation was an exciting and eventful time for freshmen to get acquainted with Pitt, make new friends, and have a good time. Mentors and student advisors provided enthusiasm and support for freshman students as they were treated to free movies and a concert featuring Pitt sburgh's own Flashcats. The Creel watermelon picnic was held during th: week to introduce students to (ire Life. All in all, this was a time to rela and forget about the tension fresh me may be feeling about the coming year. n 1921 the University of Pittsburgh inaugurated a Lantern Night Ceremony to welcome freshman women to the University. In this ceremony the freshman women were given a lantern which symbolized hope in their search for the light of truth throughout their college days. The Panhellenic Association proudly maintains the tradition of this special occasion by recreating the ceremony at the beginning of each fall term. I he 1984 Lantern Night was held Tuesday evening, September 4th in the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning. This fall, once again, the Panhellenic and Alumnae Associations, in conjunction with the Office of Student Ac-tivities and the Student Government Board, presented this traditional ceremony. Sharing in the honor of this occasion were the Distinguished Alumnae, University Administators, parents and students. Orientation Week ACTIVITIES Fun Filled Freshmen n the Cathedral Lawn, the world's largest twister game was held for freshmen during Orientation Week. There were three thousand colored dots for students to tug, toss and twist over. Students paired off to participate in the Egg Toss also, where many students were left with egg on their faces when it was all over. Events like these, organized with the help of mentors, help provide a fun-filled way to make friends in a strange, new place. Orientation Week ACTIVITIES Activities Abound filled fair of activities. Various groups and organizations were represented by nicely decorated booths which were assembled on the main level of Forbes Quad. Students were free to travel from booth to booth obtaining information about any organization that interested them. The Activities Fair provided great opportunity for freshmen to discover how many activities there are to be involved with here at the University. Orientation ACTIVITIES Commuter Confusion Commute ... is defined in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary as: 1) to give in exchange for another; 2) to convert (as a payment) into another form; and 3) to travel back and forth regularly (as between a suburb and a city). The only applicable definition of commute for the Pitt commuter is the latter. The disadvantages of commuting abound, but to mention only those would be unfair. Therefore, the few but important advantages must be given an honorable mention. Disadvantages — to begin at the beginning — include waiting daily for late buses; waiting in line at the Union Ticket Office for U -Tickets; facing every possible combination of the elements of weather; losing precious and valuable quarters in the parking meters; having to put up with mom, dad, and the family, and the dog at home; having them put up with you; and just the all-around hassle. Now, the advantages: not having to pay room and board to live on or close to campus; eating home-cooked meals and watching cable TV; living with people whom you are accustomed to; being able to keep in touch with your neighborhood friends; and the home sweet home atmosphere. MULTIPLE ROAD SIGNS are an obstacle that a commuter faces daily. Commuters STUDENT LIFE Since both sides have been presented it would be nice to discuss something helpful such as the What-to-do-if-you're-a-commuter-and-you-want-to-get-involved subject. Going to an immense school such as the University of Pittsburgh it is difficult making friends for most commuters. There are frat parties, movies being shown on campus and sporting events that a commuter misses simply because he or she has a bus to catch. It is imperative that a commuter becomes involved in clubs and organizations in order to make friends. For those of you who can choose whether or not to commute, this question should be reviewed and answered: To commute, or not to commute?

Commuters 50 STUDENT LIFE Commuters ACTIVITIES Knapsacks STUDENT LIFE Your Life in a Bag Knapsacks, backpacks, bookbags, tote bags, etc. all serve the same purpose — they hold stuff. Stuff ranges everywhere from a calculus textbook, winter boots, coffee mug and packages of chewing gum to an AM-FM stereo Walkman, and a stapler. Knapsacks and their relatives come in a variety of colors, but the shape is uniform. They can be worn on one shoulder (which is the most popular) or both shoulders. Strange objects can be found in knap-sacks, some of which are: toothbrush, toothpaste, curling iron, teabags, sugar, M Ms, potato chips, hairspray, kleenex, spare change, hand lotion, umbrella, sunglasses (any season), and a handy pair of shoelaces, by Kelly Caruso S' _____Knapsacks STUDENT LIFE Glimpses of Student Life Making Your Move LONG LINES AND WAITS for the elevators are a common occurrence on moving days. THE FIRST STEPS into residence life begins with checking into the dorms. ONCE YOU GET your things in order you finally get the chance to Sit back and relax. Residence Life STUDENT LIFE Being a dorm resident meant more than just living on campus. For the 4,300 students who were housed in one of the ten resident halls on campus, it was a way of life. Confined, stressful, and far from private perhaps, but never boring! Adjusting to a strange roommate, remembering to always carry your I.D. and room key with you, and developing an appetite for dining hall food are a few of the initial necessities. Later in the term you adapt to these frustrations by investing in a Walkman, penny-ing the security doors, and ordering out for pizza. There was always a way around the unpleasant or inconvenient. Occupied mainly by freshmen, the co-ed Towers are the most prominent of THOSE LITTLE YELLOW CARTS sure come in handy when it's time to move belongings. ONE OF THE MANY hassles of moving in — hauling your luggage from blocks away because you could not find a parking space. the resident halls on campus. Tower A and B are all double rooms with 19 and 22 floors respectively, and Tower C, the smallest of the three, is all single rooms. Due to the tremendous height of these buildings, one unavoidable utility is the elevator. Those unaccustomed to the frequent door jammings, long waits and tasteless graffitti of the elevators may have second thoughts before boarding one. Residents, however, grow immune to the situation soon after their arrival. No one wants to climb eighteen flights of stairs with a heavy knapsack unless, of course, a fire drill demands it. Disregarding their unfavorable appearance, the elevators are actually one of the most popular places to meet people. Sometimes elevator conversations are even juicier than the latest soap opera gossip, and a lot more informative as well, that is, if you happened to be clued in as to where the best parties of the weekend will be! Dorm Life Security is a main concern of residents, and Pitt has an effective system for screening unwanted guests into its dorms. Each resident hall is manned by an attendant at a security desk who has control of the entrance. Residents must show their student I.D. with appropriate housing sticker to be admitted into the building. AH others, including residents of another dorm, must show proper I.D. and be signed in as guests. Most consider this policy a hindrance if nothing else (especially if you lose your I.D.), but it's an essential precaution since Pitt is an entirely urban campus. Laundry duty, however, has to be the worst of the many restrictions that accompany dorm living. Handicapped with only one laundry room for all three Towers, it was not an uncommon sight to find at least a handful of people in the laundry room at the wee hours of the morning. But doing laundry was also an easy way of sprouting friendships as well. Schenley Quadrangle, or the Quad, as it is frequently referred to, is composed of Brackenridge, Bruce, Holland, McCormick and Amos Halls. These dorms were mostly a haven for upperclassmen and football players, and Amos Hall is strictly for sorority suites. It was not unusual to walk along Forbes Avenue between classes and hear Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, blaring from a window above or witness an entire text book cascading YOUR DORM ROOM can be as warm and comfortable as you make it. Students' individuality is shown in their dorm decor. from a window page by page. Lothrop Hall, located on the hill and adjacent to Presbyterian University Hospital, is comprised of all single rooms. Like all of the other dorms, it possesses characteristics that are unique and distinguishable. These include early morning evacuations due to fire alarms (sometimes even twice a week) and end-of-the-term food fights which often resulted in the closing of the cafeteria. Forbes Hall was home for the fortunate few who drew good lottery numbers. One of the newer dorms, Forbes is popular for its modern appearance and more spacious living area, even though it is located away from central campus. With such a concentration of students on campus, it was easy to find a pal willing to join you in a study break. In order to relieve the frustrations, stress, and solitude of studying, many students combined forces for a pick-up game of football on the Cathedral lawn, frisbee on Flagstaff Hill, a quick jog through Schenley Park or a relaxing bicycle ride. And if all else failed, there was always the late night trek to the O for fries!

I was walking down Forbes Avenue, or was it Fifth, the month of my first semester at Pitt with a second-year student. I've been looking for the sign for a year, she said to me. And I still haven't been able to find it. What sign are you talking about? 1 asked her. The huge sign that says, 'University of Pittsburgh' next to an ivy-covered stone wall with acres of green grass behind it. That is a university. No one can deny that Pitt lacks rolling lawns and wrought iron fences, but, its setting does have nonaesthetic positive characteristics. Unless your stomach can survive on nine months of cafeteria food, and your social life on hall parties and movies at David Lawrence Auditorium, you will want to get to know Oakland. Oakland is probably best known to students for its array of restaurants and bars. You will especially feel right at home if you have an affinity for pizza and fast food. If it's not consumption of food or beverage that draws you to Oakland, the local museums, theaters and flower conservatory offers lots of culture. But, for many students Oakland is simply a place to live when the dorms or commuting from home becomes impractical or inhibiting. Rental units make up 52.8 percent of occupied housing in South Oakland and 76.8 percent in North Oakland. Living in an apartment can be economical and an experience in independence.

This has made the band more accessible while sacrificing little of the band's challenging stance. In all, five new songs were included in the set, which spread the material out by choosing almost evenly from the band's four records.

The following article appeared in Shouxase on November 9,1984.) Seven years, four records, three producers and several lineup changes have brought the Psychedelic Furs full circle. From a debut record that sounded immediately like an assault on the pop aesthetic to one of the most pleasantly listenable Ip's of 1984, the Furs brought out all the weapons last Friday — none of which was more armed and dangerous than lead singer Richard Butler. Waiting in the wings to ensure a dramatic entrance, Butler cooly romped onto the stage to the opening notes of Love My Way. Greeting the crowd with handshakes for those close enough to the action and sensual stares for everybody, Butler transformed the suit to the theatrical body language which guided every song in what ever direction he chose to take it. The decision to play every-song-you-ever-wanted-to-hear-from-the-Fursurs kept the crowd on its feet, but the songs from Mirror Moves and 1982's Forever seemed the sharpest with John Ashton's cacaphonous assault they made on their first two records, by Bryan ).

I (The Fixx appeared at the Syria Mosque on September 6, 1984. The following article appeared in Showcast on September 7, 1984.) If you've ever listened to a Fixx album all the way through, you may have gotten the impression that this is a band struggling to say something very important. Last night at the Syria Mosque, the struggle continued. Before a diminutive crowd, lead singer Cy Cumin's theatrical calesthenics coaxed his band through a set that drew enthusiastic response for radio-ready numbers like Red Skies ' “One Thing Leads To Another and their current single, Are We Ourselves? , yet Cumin's message seemed stronger in precisely those songs that the audience was least able to grab hold of. In watching the Fixx work their way through a generous set of nearly two dozen songs, there was a striking indifference to those that never made their way onto the airways. Although many bands suffer when audiences come only to see hits, the problem for the Fixx is that they claim to be doing important things — in spite of being unable to attract much attention to them. The Fixx are headlining a tour for the first time in this country, which will put them under more watchful eyes than ever before. By playing before audiences that have come specifically to see them — and not, for instance, the Police, who the band opened for last year — the Fixx may yet come to appreciate the vital interaction that goes on bet. ween a band and its audience.

Pittsburgh Artists for Africa in Concert (PAAC) was made up of performers from a variety of different musical tastes, but all had one cause in mind — fighting hunger. The benefit concert, held at the Syria Mosque, was an effort to help not only the USA for Africa Fund but also the Hunger Action Coalition of Allegheny County. All of the musicians donated their time and energy along with many local businesses who donated everything from refreshments to the tuning of an acoustic grand piano. With over a dozen musical acts, as well as the Civic Light Opera Mini-Stars and the Vann Elementary School Choir, the show provided a nice melting pot of Pittsburgh's musical talents. Radio personalities from WIXZ, WYEP, WDSY and others were on hand to entertain during the short intermissions between acts. The only disappointment of the show was the poor attendance. The coordinators had hoped to raise upwards of $30,000, however, with an attendance that may not have reached over 400 they were lucky to cover their costs.

Most of these people were lucky enough to find their way to safety before it was too late, but at least a few were not so lucky.

The theme for this year's festival, “Friends Make Life More Bearable, was dramatized by the obviously enthusiastic children and their captivated audience. Traditionally held on the first two levels of Forbes Quadrangle, the festival consisted of game booths and prizes, live entertainment and plenty of good food for the children to enjoy while being accompanied by a “one-on-one student volunteer. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 30, these children were escorted thru a maze of people and balloons while they had their faces painted, won goldfish, got their picture taken and sang along with the musical groups present. Not all of the children could handle all of this excitement so special quiet rooms were provided and of course, there were plenty of medical staff and trained facilitators to help. The volunteers themselves had to attend an educational session where they learned basic management skills for the handicapped such as how to communicate with the children and what to expect when feeding them or what to do if someone had a seizure. This community service exists to break down barriers between the handicapped population and the rest of the community. It began here in 1979 with just 75 children but now includes over 400 children as well as scores of volunteers, facilitators, and sponsors. Hand-in-Hand 92 STUDENT LIFE Months of work and planning by ambitious Pitt students went into the festival. The coordinators for this year's festival were Alan Martello and Rita Silvestri. They headed a list of ten committees ranging from computers to decorations. Credit is also due to the many university departments, student groups, and non-university organizations who contributed to the forty game booths, prizes, and food for the children. A few of the booths included: spin art, bean bag toss, and the petting zoo, provided by the Brackenridge RSA, Sign Connection, and the Pittsburgh Zoo, respectively. Appearances by Gumby, Chuck E. Cheese, the Steeler's Terrible Towel, and our own Pitt Panther, along with plenty of clowns added more sparkle to the crowd. Trying to generate enough student interest and participation in the festival was a major task facing committee members. Despite the vast amount of attention that the festival receives, only about four percent of the student body are aware and participate in the festival. Vet to those who did take part in the festival, the day couldn't have been better spent. Joining hands, sharing a hug, and making a friend is what the festival is all about.

With the cuts in student aid, most students could use some extra cash. Pitt offers a number of jobs for its students, both during the summer and through the academic year. For those not employed by the university, there are many other jobs available in Oakland and the surrounding areas. Some of these jobs are offered through the Student Employment Office.

Proud parents and families, and friends were on hand to share in this happy event. 6400 degrees were presented to this year's class. The key note speaker for the event was Dr. Frank Press who is president of the National Academy of Science. Graduation 109 STUDENT LIFE Marching Band What other organization has brought more excitement and spirit to Pitt fans than the Pitt band? Not only do they provide entertainment on the field but before the games as well. Small pep bands are a common sight on the streets of Oakland before a home game. The band can also be found exhibiting their school spirit at the Fitzgerald Field House during basketball season. With one week of intensive practice at Pitt's Johnstown campus before football season, the band prepares pre-game and halftime entertainment for all of the Panther fans. Two music fraternities, Iota Beta Kappa, an honorary coed fraternity, and Mu Kappa Upsilon, an all male fraternity, and one sorority, Omicron Pi Alpha, are all affiliated with the band. Friends made in band, according to one IBK pledge, remain friends for life. DRUMMERS take a much-needed break £ during the homecoming game.

A few days before the fall term, bags were packed and the squad travelled to Virginia for a cheerleading camp. Then they went on to compete with other colleges in the North Eastern Region. Placing first in the region, the Pitt cheerleaders went on to participate in the national competition in Hawaii. Immediately following the national competition the cheerleaders went directly into basketball season. The cheerleaders were also there to cheer on the wrestlers and swimmers in all of their major matches and meets. TERRY LARSEN AND KELLY KENEN-DY prepare for some acrobatics.

All that is golden does not glitter, though. Hard hours of practice and strict weight requirements are enforced throughout football season. The hardest part of being a Golden Girl is becoming one. Auditions for this year's squad took place in the spring of 1984. The 18 girls that made the squad were selected from approximately 100 hopefuls. Besides performing at half time, the girls also act as judges at area high school competitions, instructors for band camps, and hostesses at football recruitments. Although the effort put into being a Golden Girl is extreme and the sacrifices are numerous, these girls performed with energy and a smile at every home and away game.

Student Government The Judicial Board plays an important role in the justice system of the University. The J-Board is an appointed committee of 10 members. These 10 people are responsible for holding hearings and investigating complaints of students as well as passing sentences. They also oversee all students appointed to positions in the University Senate Committees, the Student Government Board, and all student groups that are allocated money by SGB.

The Academic Affairs Committee is a group of students who try to improve undergraduate academics at Pitt. One of their most important activities is the putting together of the Review of Course Evaluations, a collection of the teaching surveys that many teachers have their students fill out at the end of the term. This year they campaigned in the teaching departments to persuade more teachers to participate in the evaluation survey. They also help with the publication of the Pittsburgh Undergraduate review, and help students who come to them with complaints about teachers.

SGB serves as a link between students and the administration. Many activities, committees and councils are sponsored by SGB such as the Freshman Council. This council is intended to orient freshmen to the Student government and promote more involvement. Another project sponsored by SGB was the letterwriting campaign during which students were asked to write to their Representatives about student aid cuts. SGB's main responsibility is budgeting the 360,00 dollars worth of student activity fees to student organizations. Many other committees work through SGB that aid students and organizations in specific areas, and SGB helps coordinate them all. The Governmental Relations Board is a group of students which lobbies for the basic concerns of students. Time is spent in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C. visiting Senators and Representatives to inform them about student situations. Major issues the board deals with are quite diverse. Tuition raises and aid cuts are high on the list but much time is also devoted to stopping the closing of the Port Authority Transit busing system. A great number of Pitt commuters depend on PAT buses and losing PAT could have a drastic effect on the University as a whole. The board deals with many important issues of concern to the student population and does a great service to us all in voicing our opinions in matters of importance.

They are a group of students who are selected by SGB to help allocate the $300,000 worth of student activity fees to student organizations. Starting in January, they review each organization's budget, then vote on all things requested. They have the option to deny, or approve any requests, or to put money into an escrow fund. Then the chairman of the Allocations Committee presents the budgets to SGB, who have the final say on what money goes where. Such is the process of where all the Pitt student's activities money goes. “Paid for by your Student activities fee. Student Government 119 ORGANIZATIONS S.G.B. ELECTIONS 1984 Election year 1984: the general consensus was that a wave of patriotism was sweeping the country when it came time to elect America's next President. On the whole, Americans entered the polling places with a sense of national contentment which had been absent for years. There was a renewed feeling of pride for our country which was beginning to regain its prominent world position. As a result, Ronald Wilson Reagan was elected to a second term by a history-making majority, greatly comprised of college-aged Americans. This increased political interest among students which was stirred by the national election carried into the 1984 Pitt Student Government Board elections. The students were, in general, well-informed and concerned. The candidates for SGB had to be aware of this new politically-enlightened student populous in order to put it to their advantage. Consequently, the various SGB candidates began getting organized weeks before the election. Getting publicized was the first task at hand. As former Board President Ken Stram pointed out, because of the number of unusually well-qualified candidates, originality was very important in getting one's name noticed. Bright posters with catchy slogans cluttered virtually every classroom on campus. After the posters were hung, the next step in the campaign was the endorsement hearings. Just as the national presidential candidates find it beneficial to be endorsed by unions and other national organizations, the SGB candidates must be interviewed by various campus organizations for the purpose of endorsement. Those who gain an endorsement receive a great deal of valuable publicity. As the elections drew closer, the emphasis for the candidates shifted to “being seen. During this period, the student body was inundated with leaflets giving brief information about the candidates. The candidates also participated in a practice called dorm storming in which they go door to door throughout the residence halls. This is very important if the candidates wish to be recognized by the voting students. However, the most important feature of the SGB campaign was the Meet the Candidates evenings. These sessions were essential for the student to become more informed about the candidates. The first session was held in the William Pitt Ballroom. Here, students listened to the candidates' speeches and were permitted to ask questions. The second session wa� presented over Pitt's new radio station, WPTS. This broadcast differed from the first presentation in that the presidential candidates were allowed to ask questions of each other. Because ol these Meet the Candidates evenings the students were able to get a cleat perception of each candidate's platfom and qualifications. After all the intense campaigning was over, the polling places wen established and it was time for the elec tion. Unlike the land-slide nationa election, 1984 produced one of Pitt': closest SGB elections ever. However the close security over the balloting assured all candidates that the electior was indeed a fair one. The final voti tally pronounced Luke Kluchko the vie tor in the presidential race by onl] sixty-nine votes over runner-up Bol Kramer. The slim margin reflected thi fact that all candidates seemed to repre sent the Student Body's desire fo dedicated and experienced leaders. This need for continuity and stabilit; exemplifies the mood which prevaile across the nation at that time. The sam down to earth personality and politica experience which enabled Ronal Reagan to be re-elected in 1984 provid ed the surge Luke Kluchko needed t become Pitt's next SGB president.

Each student that volunteered to participate in the festival was paired one-on-one with a handicapped child and they spent an exciting day in the fair-like atmosphere of the festival. Preparations were made far in advance — if a student wanted to be a clown for the event, he had to be trained ahead of time in ways to take care of and entertain children. Booths were set up and balloons were inflated, and when March 30th arrived, the festival was ready. The theme, “Friends Make Life More Bearable, really came true that day.

The Club includes 20 undergraduates and graduates in law, business, liberal arts, engineering, medicine, dentistry, and others. The Glee Club sings a wide variety of music with several selections arranged specifically for it. The programs vary to fit the tastes of the audience but always consist of the finest music available for men's voices. A typical program would consist of compositions of classical composers such as Bach and Mendelssohn, folk songs, spirituals, and novelties.

These are just a few' of the activities that the Pitt Program Council is responsible for, and life at Pitt without them would be dull indeed. PPC is the central programming organization at Pitt which designs educational, cultural, recreational, and social events, keeping in mind all the broad and varied interests of the university community. PPC provided 435 performances of 233 different programs, reaching a total audience of about 100,000 people this year. As you can imagine, organizing all these programs, from selling tickets to putting up posters, takes a lot of work and a lot of people. PPC is comprised of 12 programming committees and has an active membership of 200 people, and is always looking for more members. So if you've ever wondered who was behind a lot of the entertainment provided for you throughout the year, now you know that it is courtesy of PPC.

PPC ORGANIZATIONS 149 Panther Prints The 1985 Panther Prints yearbook staff, like any organization on Pitt's campus, strives to get the best people involved in an activity they can excel at and enjoy. This year's staff was made up of almost all new recruits. This made the first few months rough, but turned out rather beneficial in the end. Who would have thought way back in October as David told us about graphics that by April we would be screaming through all-nighters in the office! Whether the staff was giving away posters to vulturous freshmen eager to decorate their dorm rooms, or trying to get bashful seniors to sign up for their portraits, the bulk of the yearbook staff did their jobs with enthusiasm. PANTHER PRINTS EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Bob McGrogan and Larry Mann EDITOR BOB McGROGAN working to meet a deadline TAILGATE PARTIES are part of the fun of being on the yearbook staff. It is at this time, when our final product is here, that the yearbook staff finally gets to enjoy that sense of accomplishment.

WPTS-FM 154 ORGANIZATIONS There have been quite a few changes on the fourth floor of the union since last year, and one of them was the radio station, WPTS. Pitt's station, now on the air for 24 hours a day, can be heard for an 18 mile radius around Oakland. It's music format is varied enough to fit anyone's tastes, from phone-in requests Monday through Thursday, to a jazz show ever ' night, to classical music and oldies every Sunday. There are about 50 people on the staff, and always room for more. An excellent opportunity for any student, he can pick the field he wants and then be trained in it. One can choose from engineering, production, or being a music or news D.J. And if you hang around Oakland in the evenings for any length of time, you will be sure to see the WPTS crew setting up a remote in one of the area's hotspots — C. J.

The Pitt News It is one of the most influential and controversial publications to be found on the Pitt campus. Not only on the Pitt campus, but in the whole western half of the state — it has the third largest circulation, behind only the Pittsburgh Press and the Post-Gazette. Students read the Pitt News three times a week to find out all the campus news as well as what is happening around the world. They read it for the sports coverage, the classifieds, and for Showcase, the entertainment maga .ine found in every Friday's issue. Being on the staff of the Pitt News is a great opportunity for any student majoring in journalism, photography, communications, marketing and business, or a number of other fields. It is also a perfect organization to join if you want to accomplish something difficult but satisfying three times a week and have fun while doing it. rrrr news advertising state - row 1: Susan Stringfellow, Betsy Kearns, Terry Jarvis, Ronna Bromberg.

This year the number of members has more than doubled and they engaged in many different activities with science fiction and fantasy as their theme. Among them were: showing the movies Things to Conic and l.ogans Run in the assembly room of the union, having guest lecturers at their weekly meetings who spoke on such topics as physics and science fiction, and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. They also took excursions to science fiction movies around Oakland, such as 20 0 and the Rocky Horror Picture Shoto and had several parties with science fiction and fantasy as their themes.

ROTC 173 ORGANIZATIONS SURVIVING COLLEGE Survivors — that's what many mentors commonly refer to themselves as. And survive they did — through an application, two interviews, a training course, workshops, advising sessions, and finally, seeing the group of students first assigned to them as awkward, uncertain freshmen make it through their first year of college and come back as experienced sophomores. Mentors are the University's best — a select group of upperclassmen chosen, out of hundreds who apply, for their skill, poise, energy, and enthusiasm. All of those characteristics are needed to guide groups of freshmen through craziness such as the world's biggest Twister game, the ''Official Outdoor Mayhem with Jimmy and Steve of WDVE, and the world's strangest scavenger hunt. These were just a few of the activities that were part of the orientation program this year, as well as seminars on Semester at Sea, International Studies, and Why Writing is Important, among others. The mentor program has been at Pitt for more than 30 years, and it's no wonder. The mentor program has achieved many goals, not the least of which has been the many close friendships that have been formed between countless mentors and freshmen. One mentor, when asked what she would miss most about the program when she graduated, replied; Well, I'll miss meeting all the new people, helping, having the fun that we have, but mostly, seeing my kids when they're older and no longer freshmen, and seeing how they've changed.

One of those close games was the first round Big East Tournament game with Syracuse, played on the Orangewoman's home court in Syracuse. Pitt lost that game 65-64. That was a game we could have won, Kirk said, We definitely had our chances in that game, but we just didn't do it. When the game meant something sentimental, however, they DID do it. The last time the five seniors would be appearing together in Fitzgerald Field house Head Coach Judy Saurer paid tribute to the Class of 1985 by starting the entire senior squad against Boston College. This was the first time this season that an all senior line-up was posted. Pitt's seniors started out strong and the game ended with Pitt out in front, 70-61.

Saurer had just completed her fifth year as Head Coach of the Lady Panthers in 85. Those things happen, Kirk Bruce said, People move around a lot, but all of us here were shocked by the news. The year was highlighted by Jennifer Bruce, she broke the all-time scoring record here at Pitt. She now stands above both men and women players from Pitt's past. Bruce led the senior squad, consisting of Stephanie Collins, Lisa Fubio, Ellen Gilhooley, and Becky Maziarz. With the graduation of Jennifer Bruce and her comrades, and the resignation of Coach Saurer, Pitt women's basketball finds itself at the end of an era.

Jennifer, who has been a team captain for three years, is a graduate of Carrick High School in Pittsburgh. On the court she finds strength as a Pitt forward in her natural ability and cat-like, silky smooth moves inside. Off the court she finds her strength as a nursing major. Although Bruce has been striving all season to top Clyde Vaughan, last season's Pitt men's basketball all-time high scorer, she's first a team member.

After the home finale, 85-62 mauling of Villanova (the soon-to-be National Champs), a coinflip brought the two together for the Big East Tournament. With the Panther's best finish ever in the league (8, 8, fifth), surprised observers quickly pushed aside their reactions to contemplate Pitt and the NCAA Tournament which, until that time had not been synonymous.

Hardly unkind to Head Coach Roy Chipman, the year was marked by gains widely outdistancing disappointments. In the frontcourt one was apparent right away while the other surfaced quite later.

There were none of the slayings of the league's top teams as occurred two years before hand. The Panthers came close in a January contest against Georgetown at the Civic Arena. The score was tied at halftime before the national champions pulled out a 65-53 victory. Successes, instead were picked up from Boston College twice and the nationally televised game against Villanova at the end of the year. The first win over the Eagles came to be the most gratifying as the Panthers overcame a 14-point deficit in the second half at Roberts Center to stun the partisans 61-55. In that game Charles Smith set conference and schools records with 18 points in 21 throws from the line. He finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds. As usual what could have been was heard during the pre-league season. After a 104-88 opening win against St. Francis, the Panthers quickly obtained their first loss when Xavier left Fitzgerald Field House with a 61-58 win despite Keith Armstrong's 20 points and 11 rebounds. Five games later Pitt blew a 15-point halftime lead in Orlando before bowing to Florida State 83-76.

Chipman never did get the production he wanted from any one of them as their combined rebounding scores averaged 9.8 per game. The year was good, however, despite ending in losses. The season ended on a good note — an NCAA playoff berth. The prospects for next year appear promising. With three seniors leaving, the majority of starters and talent will remain at Pitt.

I was pretty pleased with the performance of our guys, said wrestling Head Coach Rande Stottlemeyer. We got a lot of mileage out of our guts. Individual standouts for the Panther grapplers included Gary Bolin and John Hnath, both of whom went to the NCAA nationals held at Oklahoma City, OK last March. Bolin went into the championship seeded 12th, but lost in the first round. Hnath was unseeded going into the tournament, but he won his first round match only to be defeated in the second round.

In the end for Stottlemeyer, it was a good, but not a great season. Going 8-7 is a winning record and I'm happy we were able to do that. I think, looking back on the season, the one thing I notice is that we were able to avenge a lot of our earlier season losses. We would get beat by people early on, and then we would see them at the end of the year and we would win. That says a lot about this team and about next year.

Collier, however, could not admit he was entirely happy with the past season. Somehow coaches always seem to want one more win. But I was happy with what we accomplished, he said. I think it shows our program is nationally respected and again this past season we were able to show the overall strength of our program. On the court it was a record breaking year for senior spiker Ulana Kohutiak, who set an NCAA record with 40 kills in a single match.

The biggest problem the team had was their ability, or lack of ability, to score goals. The most points the Panthers scored all year was five in one game. That high water mark came against IUP during Pitt's 5-2 victory over the Big Indians in October. What kept the Panthers on the good side of the Wins-Losses column was a strong defense, where they were led by a veteran crew of backfield players including U .oma Chibundu, a senior from Lagos, Nigeria, and junior Brian Casey.

The Pitt men won the event convincingly 693-604, and Richard James was named Outstanding Coach. I think it was a very successful season for us this year, Lewis said. It was a rebuilding year, but we were able to have a successful season mainly because the freshmen performed like seasoned veterans. Freshmen Lewis named as standouts included Charles Lurch, Geoff Rife, and Rob Reddy. It wasn't the highlight of our season to win the Big East or Eastern Rcgionals. I don't think there was one match that I could pick out and say that was a highlight, Lewis commented. I think the best part of this season was the attitude of the entire team.

That day alone, the Panthers still not in pads, goliath tackle Bill Fralic suffered a concussion, quarterback incumbent John Congemi suffered a stress fracture of the left foot, and fleet Clint Wilson at tight end broke a foot. Demoralization, Fazio is the first to agree, took its toll for the next three and a half months. Especially frustrating was the downfall of Penn Hills' native Fralic, a 6-5, 290-lb. offensive lineman contending for the Heisman Trophy. He, with tri-captains Troy Benson and Chris Doleman, embodied a team of exceptional recruits and numerous veterans.

But, it really didn't matter. With an injured Congemi on the sidelines, the Cougars welcomed the Panthers to a new season when they waited until less than two minutes left to win 20-14 on a Robbie Bosco-Adam Haysbert touchdown connection. Many will agree the persistent lack of consistency at quarterback befell the Panthers, who turned in such hear-wrenching defeats as 13-12 to Temple, 45-21 to South Carolina, 13-7 to Syracuse, and the 28-all tie against Navy, who were Napoleon McCallum-less that day. Fazio, injuries and ineffectiveness forcing his hand, switched quarterbacks at an alarming frequency. With Congemi out most of the year, finishing with a 53.4 percent completion rate, and 1,102 yards, Mt. Lebanon native Chris Jelic filled in, passing for only 480 yards.

SPORTS ADD Expanding Horizons President Posvar Deems 1985 a Success w esley W. Posvar has been the President of the University of Pittsburgh since 1967 and he has come to identify himself with Pitt. Says Posvar, I take it personally if we lose a football game or a basketball game. His days begin early and include interviews, meetings, business luncheons, and numerous phone calls. He seldom returns to his home before 7:00 PM, but once there he likes to relax. However, this does not mean he stops thinking about his job as President of the University because he is usually engaged in being that. Posvar has seen a change in the student body since the early 70's. He feels that today's students are more mature and serious about their education and are better prepared for future jobs. This is an extension of what Dr. Posvar hopes students have gained when they graduate from Pitt, I would like students to leave with a sense of appreciation and achievement ... and better equipped for life. Despite Pitt's size he feels that this goal has been successful in that students can feel individualized through participation in student organizations and clubs. As Pitt moves towards celebrating its bicentennial in 1987, it is also moving beyond education. The acquisition of the Harmarville Research Center in April typifies this. This research complex will solidify Pitt as one of the 40 or 50 research colleges in the United States. Posvar advocates that the job of the University is to teach its students and conduct research. The new research center will enrich the faculty and this will benefit the students. As the instructors become involved with the research they will use this in their lectures through examples and illustrations, leading students to be more excited about the classroom material. The President knows that weights between research and education must be in balance. Says Posvar, The impor- tant issue is that the professor not bt distracted by his research mission. This mission should enrich the lectur and Posvar reveals that most times this is the case since the professors are sensitive to this problem. President Posvar believes that tht progress made in 1985 was substantial Pitt's role as a hi-tech school continuec to grow as the Campus of the Future go off the ground and the Informatiof Age descended upon us. Despite th rise in hi-tech evident all around uJ Posvar maintains the importance of tht arts and humanities. He argues that tht humanities become the real anchor in this age of science and technology. There are changes in education at Pitt, but Posvar says, The bask character of learning continues to bt relating to the professor in the classroom. As long as this is central President Posvar and the University can be confident that they are doing their jobs. 256 Prudent ACADEMICS President 257 ACADEMICS Planning for the Future Stage One of the Provost's Five-year Plan Is Completed A x JL Ithough Dr. Roger Benjamin has been at the University of Pittsburgh for just a short while he feels that he has learned a voluminous amount of information and history about Pitt. 1985 represented the planning segment of the university's five-year plan which, as Provost, Dr. Benjamin helped create. Through this intense period Dr. Benjamin studied written documents and met with numerous people. Benjamin finds this job of setting academic priorities to be challenging. He has a great love for teaching and scholarship; he is a professor of political science, and he believes that this plan will help make Pitt one of the top 15 schools in the country, bettering its current ranking of being one of the top 50 schools. The first phase of the plan has concentrated on establishing academic priorities. Dr. Benjamin has committed himself to help to lead this as long as he feels it is moving in the right direction. By moving into new areas and building up some areas that are seen as having high merit, the university can make substantial progress in the next few years. This academic priority setting is im- DR. BENJAMIN AND HIS SECRETARY, Kathy Confer discuss his agenda for the day. portant due to three basic issues according to Benjamin. First, the process opens up the institution. The Provost feels that it is important for the Pitt community to know that the administration is accessible. Next, the planning brings about a better sense of what the institution is all about. There are three main functions that Pitt serves. These are teaching, research, and service. Setting priorities also means making sure these functions are balanced. Dr. Benjamin stated, The integration of teaching and research is what the university is all about. Finally, the fundamental reason why the institution exists is to teach so the quality of the undergraduate programs must be raised. Dr. Benjamin describes this point that we are at as a critical junction. The chance to change does not come about very often so the current opportunity must not be lost. However, every time there is change there will be some negative results. In Pitt's case, it is the reductions in many schools. According to Benjamin, Nobody wants to cause anxieties. But professionally, it is a privilege, not a right to be here. So the planning asked that certain schools account for their existence. The results were that schools such as GSPIA, Pharmacy, and Kducation underwent cut backs and restructuring. Thus, the five-year plan was not met with unchallenged acceptance. The Provost admits that the plan is not without its faults. The concentration of the program was in evaluating! research and scholarship. This i because these areas are more accessible However, in the future Dr. Benjamin sees another planning cycle that will concentrate on teaching related issues In Pitt's future Benjamin can see mandatory teaching evaluations and an Honor's College. Without the restructuring going on today, the alternative of across the board cuts would have to go into effect. By increasing the quality of the pro grams at Pitt, students also increase the value of the only true resource the) have — their minds. Dr. Benjamin hopes this leads to students leaving Pitt having internalized a set of structuring principles that will allow them to interpret the world they live in. As the true academician.

The Film Studies Major Is Now in Production A JL It some point in our life we have all dreamt of becoming a great movie star and achieving fame and fortune in front of the world's eyes. As grade school children we idolized Burt Reynolds. Many more of us envisioned being Clint Eastwood than Cecil B. DeMille. But without DeMille's direction names like Reynolds and Eastwood would not be as well-known to us. In reality, acting is just a small part of the overall picture that leads to a finished movie. Directors, producers, camera people, sound experts, photographers, production crews, and film critics all have major roles. Careers in these fields are studied by the still-new film studies major at Pitt. With the increased attention given to the highly technical majors it is refreshing and reassuring that such artistic majors are still being developed. This major has been offered in the College of Arts and Sciences only since May, 1984. However, a certificate in film studies has been offered since 1979. The Coordinator of the film studies program is Dr. Lucy Fischer. Dr. Fischer is an English professor and earned her Ph.D. in cinema studies at New York University. She has been at Pitt since 1979. Courses in film studies are taught by professors in a variety of departments. These include English, Spanish, French, Italian, Fine Arts, Theatre Arts, and Psychology. The emphasis at Pitt is on the theory of film. Film studies is under the category of humanities as the program looks at film as an art form. Attention is paid to the history. aesthetics, theory, and production of film. Students who choose to fulfill a major in film studies are required to take three courses. World Film History is an introductory course which looks at some techniques of film analysis and various international works and movements that made an impact on past films as well as present cinema. Topics include the development of narrative films and documentaries. Film Analysis is a second required course and majors must also complete a course designated as an Advanced Seminar in Film Studies. Beyond these classes, courses offered through the Film Studies Program fall into three categories. These are National Cinemas and Film-makers, Themes, Genres, and Theory, and CAS 260 ACADEMICS SUSAN HOWARD RUNS SOUND FOR A film production at Pittsburgh Filmmakers. Film Production. History of the American Film is a title of a class which falls into the first category. It focuses on the evolution of the American film style and the relationships between films and the American society. Courses in the second category have such titles as Psychology of the Visual Arts, Women and Film, Film Musical, Film Theory, Silent Cinema, Design for Film, and Literature and Film. Many of the courses in the third category are offered through the Pittsburgh Film Makers. This media arts center is located in Oakland on Oakland Avenue so it is convenient for students to attend production classes there. These courses give students a chance to get some practical experience in filmmaking. There are a variety of courses in photography, including black and white photography. Here, techniques of photography are taught as well as an examination of the psychological implications of the work of well-known photographers. A series of Film-making courses are also offered. Students view' films for followup discussions. Camera movement, editing, cinematography, lighting, and sound are features of film production which are taught. In addition to demonstrations, students also produce a series of short films. These production courses teach the technical facets of film but the bulk of the program emphasizes the aesthetic qualities of cinema by studying American and foreign film. With a degree in film studies opportunities exist in teaching, film journalism, library and archive work, film and television production, screenwriting, and film editing. With several majors already declared there may be a future talent like Cecil B. DeMille currently enrolled at Pitt.

CAS Requires Students to Taken a Second Language T he new requirements to obtain a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences have been in effect for about a year now. Changes made are seen in the distribution of studies and general education requirements and in the new writing, quantitative and formal reasoning, and foreign language requirements. In the past, studying a foreign language was recommended but not required. That has now changed. The goal of the requirement is for students to achieve an elementary knowledge of a second language. Students who do not have the necessary high school background in a language must take and pass the first-year courses of a language. Basic skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing are taught in these two-term series of classes. Although passing other courses can also satisfy the foreign language requirement, this series has become the most common. For many students this new requirement did not affect their academic planning since they intended to major in one of the foreign language majors offered at Pitt. The majors stress language acquisition as well as an understanding of the foreign country's literature and culture. Some of the majors available are in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Polish. In addition to the classroom instruction many of the lower-level foreign language courses require students to spend time weekly at the Language Lab. Students can walk in and listen to a taped lesson at one of the individual carrels. The tape recording is used in conjunction with a workbook so the students combine hearing and seeing to facilitate grasping the language. Often the tape requests the participation of the student in the lesson by having the learner repeat words. Through these lessons, the workshop helps students to acquire the basic skills sought in the beginning courses. The Language Lab also handles group instruction in the center of the room. Here, an entire class can meet to supplement the lecture. This is often done for those classes of students learning English. With the variety of programs and the new requirement, a step forward has been taken to educate more people in the use of a second language. As more students are exposed to a foreign language early in their collegiate careers, a growing number of majors can be expected. This could lead to increased popularity of the career fields of international trade, international law, international banking, political science, and foreign service.

CAS ACADEMICS 263 Where You Get an Education Matters This Is the Motto of the College of General Studies A xl n often-heard criticism of large university settings is that students are not treated as individuals; rather, they are just identified by their student number. Perhaps the best example where this is not the case is in the College of General Studies. Students enrolled in this school are treated individually from the moment they apply. This is due to the nature of its student population. Adults attending part-time, adults seeking a second degree, housewives taking general interest courses but not working toward a degree, and students who have just finished high school all make up a part of CCS. CCS is commonly referred to as Pitt's evening college. While it is true that many classes are held at night and on Saturdays, there are also many courses conducted during the day. Thus, the student who works, during the day and the student who has other evening commitments can both enroll in classes which fit into their schedules. CCS students are also not limited to just the Oakland campus. Classes are also taught in Pittsburgh communities and suburbs including the downtown area, Monroeville, Oakmont, and the South Hills. Many of the majors offered in the College of Arts and Sciences are also offered in the College of General Studies. The same number of credits, 120, are necessary for graduation in each school but the degree requirements vary. CGS students must pass courses divided into five categories. These are communication skills (9 credits); mathematics, logic, or foreign languages (6-10 credits); distribution of studies (45 credits divided into the science categories of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences); electives (24 credits); and the major area of study (36-48 credits). A special feeling of unity exists among CGS students. The fourth floor of the Cathedral of Learning is home to the school and special advisors are here to aid in the registration process. In addition, many mixers and informal get-togetherc are held throughout the term so that students who otherwise may not spend much time in Oakland can meet their fellow students.

CCS ACADEMICS 265 Future Teachers Education Majors Study to Teach Others T X here is a certain satisfaction that is gained in a teacher when he sees that he has gotten his concept through to a student. A feeling of unbeatable pleasure is experienced when a teacher looks out at his students and sees a smile or a nod of understanding. The rewards in a profession do not have to be complex to be meaningful and this contributes to the reasons that students majoring in education choose to enter the teaching profession. Education majors study in the College of Arts and Sciences during their freshman and sophomore years. They then transfer to the School of Education for their final two years. During their final term of school they may leave the atmosphere of being a student and assume the role of a teacher. As student teachers at area schools the majors are teachers to the class yet still students as they are under the supervision of the regular teacher. This year Pitt students taught at public high schools including Oakland's Central Catholic as well as at area alternative high schools. Many high school students enrolled at an alternative school are there because of disciplinary problems. For a new teacher this situation can bring about a unique, special set of problems. Classroom attire is casual for students and teacher and, in the case of a Pitt student teacher, students and teacher are on a first name basis. However, it would not be uncommon for students to address the teacher not by her first name, rather by some unprintable name. In the words of one 1985 education graduate in such a situation, I have been called every name in the book.” Overcoming this situation and the initial frustration is a challenge. But when achieved and the respect of the students is earned nothing can replace the feeling of achievement and the sense of accomplishment. The hard School of Education 266 ACADEMICS THE ASSOCIATE DEAN of the School of Education, Edgar N. Duncan. work does pay off. The School of Education supports majors in elementary education and secondary education. A student also chooses a field as his or her selected teaching area and takes a number of courses to study this area in depth. Education classes taken cover such topics as educational psychology, development of a curriculum, and instructional theory. A major in vocational education can also be studied. Public schools teach vocational education to prepare teenagers for the working world. Pitt supports a vocational education major that focuses on one of five areas. Business Education, Distributive Education, Health Occupations, Home Economics Education, and Trade and Industrial Education. To enroll in one of these programs a technical proficiency in the area must be demonstrated. This technical training could have been obtained through working experience or from classroom study such as at a community college or technical school. The Distributive Education and Business Education programs do not require a previous technical knowledge. As one of the proposals resulting from the University Plan: 1985-1990, the School of Education was faced with budget cuts of 25 percent. If these come it was expected that health and physical ANGELA FRANKLIN takes a moment from her busy day to smile for the camera. education would be eliminated. As a counter-proposal the school's faculty has suggested restructuring the school into the three areas: instruction and learning, administrative and policy studies, and psychology in education. Regardless of the final result of the planning the school will survive; for the education of tomorrow's youth is dependent on the education majors leaving Pitt today.

These were Chemical and Petroleum, Civil, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, Metallurgical and Materials, and Mining Engineering. Since 1985 also marked the year of extensive academic assessment at the university, the School of Engineering's administrators did a study to suggest ways to improve its curriculum. Because it has been experiencing a decline in enrollment and because it is not an accredited program, it was suggested that the major in mining engineering should be dropped. Also candidates for elimination are the aerospace option in mechanical engineering and petroleum engineering's option of nuclear engineering. The reason cited was the low student enrollment. New programs were also outlined. These included computer engineering, manufacturing engineering, environmental engineering, and bioengineering. In industry, graduates with degrees in engineering continue to be in demand. This contributes to engineering's continued popularity as a field of study. With this popularity comes the need to continually upgrade the program by bringing in new faculty and new equipment. This was another goal stated in the school's recommendations. Thus, over the next five years the Engineering School's budget would have to increase 50 percent to compensate for the new faculty positions and additional equipment being developed. For the most part, engineering students supported these changes as they were recommended to improve the school. For students majoring in engineering their identity with the school is high. This is especially evident during Engineering Week. Many students participate in this competitive but fun-filled week where knowledge acquired in the classroom is demonstrated in events that combine this learning, creativity, and originality. The Skyscraper Engineer magazine, published quarterly, is another way for student engineers to work together outside of lectures. The publication uses articles, puzzles, photographs, and fictional stories to capture what it is like to be a Pitt Engineer. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS watch the events during Engineering Week. School of Engineering ACADEMICS 269 Early Risers Part of Nursing Student's Weekly Routine Is Attending Clinic H airnets and white stockings a nursing student’s wardrobe would not be missing these items, since a major part of the student's education is spent in clinic. A typical day during which a nursing student had clinic began early in the morning — sometimes a nursing student woke before the sun. She dons the stockings and the rest of her uniform (a nurse's cap may replace or join the hairnet) and heads for an area hospital to spend her day soothing patients and observing registered nurses' much-practiced techniques. This year only 100 students graduated from the Nursing School. Because of this small number, compared with nearly 1,000 graduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, the nursing students were a close-knit group. Over the past four years they have participated together in Black Banding ceremonies, the annual Nursing Week, hours of clinic, blood drives, pinning, and to cap their academic career — the graduation ceremony. An emphasis of the Nursing School's program has shifted away from the traditional model of nurses caring for patients who are already sick. Of course this will always be a necessary function of nurses, but she will also be active in providing health care to prevent illness. Centering the curriculum around prevention and maintenance and dealing with psychological, sociological, and physiological aspects of health care have emerged as important facets of students' education. The future of the Nursing School, as it existed this year, is in question. A proposal to combine the school with Pharmacy and Health Related Professions is being considered. This new school would be named the College of Health Sciences. The main purpose of creating this school would be to bring together the common elements that are currently separated, better use of space could be achieved, parts of the cur-riculums could be combined, and research projects could be developed that incorporate more than one of the disciplines. The effects of these proposed changes on the nursing major will be seen in the years to come. CEREMONIES FOR NURSING GRADUATES were held at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial on April 26, 1985.

Nursing School ACADEMICS 271 Healthy Changes Forecast SHRP Was a Major Focus of the Academic Evaluation T X he initial careers that come to mind when health careers are mentioned are doctors and nurses. However, if the employees at any hospital are examined one would find a variety of other professions that are health related. Preparing students for careers in one of these professions is the role of Pitt's school of Health Related Professions. Students can major in such fields as medical technology, occupational therapy, and hospital administration. A degree from SHRP can be attained in two ways. One way is to apply to the school upon completion of 60 credits at Pitt. The second way is through SHRP's interdisciplinary program. Through this program students who have completed their studies at a two-year college can enroll in SHRP to achieve a bachelor's degree. This year, the programs in the School of Health Related Professions came under close scrutiny, as did most programs across the university. This was part of the academic planning and evaluation done as the first step of the Five-Year Plan. Recommendations were made, and appealed by the SHRP administration, to close the inter disciplinary program and eliminate the STUDENTS LISTEN AND TAKE NOTES during Jessie Van Swearingen's physical therapy class in the School of Health Related Professions. medical technology major. The continuation of medical technology could result if the area hospitals increase their support. In general, a medical technologist would have such duties as blood banking, analyzing body fluids, examining blood for leukemia, studying new techniques and the development of new equipment. Besides the elimination of certain features the university plan has recommended that SHRP undertake an educational program. This plan would entail SHRP offering programs in health, physical, and recreation education. Also, research in the fields of exercise and rehabilitation would be studied. With the emphasis in education often changing, new programs are added and old programs are discontinued to insure that students are getting the quality education they desire. This year the School of Health Related Professions saw this theory firsthand. 272 Health Related Professions ACADEMICS Two Steps Leading to a Career in Dentistry The Dental Hygiene Program Teaches Theory and Practice ot everyone you see around campus in white uniforms attends the School of Nursing. Some are students in the School of Dental Assisting and Oral Hygiene, Pitt's only two-year undergraduate program. Students enrolled in this program have two paths they can follow. After attending three terms and passing a state and national board the students become qualified as Dental Assistants. A second choice is to continue with three more semesters and pass the required exams to become registered dental hygienists. In general, dental hygienists assist the dentist. They are qualified to clean teeth, check for cavities and fill them, take X-rays, mix cements, and perform secretarial duties. They are also responsible for patient education which requires a strong theory background. This theory is part of the routine of the dental hygiene students' day. Their day begins at 9:00 and continues until 4:30 and it is filled with lectures and clinic. Clinic provides the students with practical experience as they assist the dental students. This type of program is offered at only a few schools in Pennsylvania so the competition for admission is stiff. Pitt's School of Dental Assisting and Oral Hygiene has an enrollment of 110 students who, upon graduation, seek jobs in private dentists' offices and clinics. Their specialized education provides these students with the opportunity to attain very rewarding careers in the dental profession. PART OF THE DENTAL HYGIENE program includes getting practical experience. I jura Murcko demonstrates the use of dental instruments. Dental Hygiene ACADEMICS 273 Discovering New Discoveries Research Prevents Education From Becoming Static I .esearch has been going on at the university for many years. The subject of research varies and the type of research changes, but it is always present. In 1953 the Salk polio vaccine was developed here. Research into organ transplants has led to Dr. Thomas Starzl's team of surgeons performing numerous liver transplants at the University Health Center. This year research into Alzheimer's Disease continued. Other subject areas have also benefit-ted from research done at Pitt. In 1975, anthropologist James Adovasio began an archeological excavation in an area south of Pittsburgh. This location is known as the oldest site of continuous human habitation in the Western Hemisphere. In 1977 William Cassidy discovered the largest meteorite ever found in Antarctica. As one of the fifty largest research universities in the United States, explorations in many areas will continue as it did in 1985. Sometimes an important discovery is made as a result of a professor and a doctoral candidate working together for the student's dissertation. The research does not have to be done at the university. It could be done on location or at a site operated by the university for the exclusive purpose of research. The Pittsburgh University Research Center was acquired in April. It was donated by Gulf Oil Corp. and was previously known as the Hamarville research center. The university will use this state-of-the-art research facility for advanced research and development. Chevron Corp., which has bought Gulf, donated $3 million to help Pitt's operation get started. Plans for projects at the Center were drawn up for the announcement of the acquisition. The Center will provide incubator services to new companies. Low rent and production help will be offered, hoping that the companies will hire an increased number of people from Western Pennsylvania. Other projects slated were corporate research, contract research, and scientific col- laboration in the areas of coal studies, biotechnology, and surface science and magnetics. The result of a research project can take many forms. This year for many university professors the reward was in book form. Numerous faculty members became authors as their months, even years, of hard work was published. The subjects of the books varied as did the departments and schools that the professors represented. Often the books were co-authored, with another instructor at Pitt or with a professor from another university. Writing a book requires a level of expertise and imagination. This combination resulted in well over 100 books being written and edited by Pitt professors. Many authors were from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Thomas Dwyer, a professor in the computer science department, had two books published. Written with Margot Critchfield, A Bit of IBM Basic and Structured Program Design With TRS-80 Basic introduce the Basic programming language to the reader as it applies to the specific hardware. Dr. Dwyer taught Introduction to Microcomputers and Introduction to Graphics at Pitt this year. Professor Audrey Holland of the communication department edited two books. Language Disorders in Adults: Re- AS MEDICAL RESEARCH continues to advance, the University Health Center has expanded cent Advances and Language Disorders in Children: Recent Advances look at current clinical research findings of language disorders and the issues surrounding these disorders. Mizoguchi was written by Keith McDonald from the Eastern Asian Languages and Literatures department Mizoguchi is a Japanese director. This book covers his films by offering a critique of them. Two English professors were also among the university's authors. Professor Robert Gale authored the first full-length biography of writer Henry Wilson Allen. The book combines biographical information and a critical analysis of Allen's works. Lee Gutkind. the director of the writing program wrote a book titled The People of Penn's Woods West. It captures the history and life of the people of this area of Pennsylvania. Additional books are being written and some books will have a second or third edition released. As new discoveries are made as the result of the research at Pitt we can look forward to more and more written works — books papers, and essays — being published. 274 Research ACADEMICS ENGLISH PROFESSOR Leo Gutkind penned the critically acclaimed The People of Penn's Woods West. DR. THOMAS STARYL heads a research team responsible for many organ transplants done at Presbyterian and Children's Hospitals. THE DONATION OF the Gulf Research Center is a major acquisition for Pitt and will result in advanced research in the years ahead. Research ACADEMICS 275 Feeling Like Family The Honors Center Brings Students Closer Together T X he next time you are wandering around the 35th floor of the Cathedral of Learning, you might take it upon yourself to step into the University Honors Center. Actually, if you are up that high you will probably stumble across the center anyway. Or, you may be compelled to follow the crescendo of energy which begins about three floors below. At any rate, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The moment you walk in the door, you can immediately feel the intense atmosphere that envelops the five rooms which make up the center. On one corner, three students are engaged in a heated discussion of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. Two others are seated on the couch reviewing essays submitted to The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review. In the far hall, an intense looking man of about 40 nurses a too-cold cup of coffee. He listens with apparent pride as two female students relate tales of their recent academic success. The man is Dr. G. Alec Stewart, director of the University Honors Program since its inception in the winter of 1978. Upon talking with Dr. Stewart, it is easy to see just who is the source of the UHP's energy. He takes a personal interest in virtually every aspect of UHP, from the nationally acclaimed Undergraduate Revieu to the Work Study Program. He regularly walks around the center talking with the staff, participating in discussions and offering advice and encouragement whenever necessary. He acts as personal host to each guest of the center, introducing them to whomever happens by and making sure no outsider feels like one for long. Stewart initiated the program with this same sort of enthusiasm in mind. He saw a large number of highly motivated students who were bored with the routine goings-on of traditional campus life. The purpose of UHP was to get these students excited about learning. According to Stewart, The program gives students with talent and motivation many opportunities for fun in the pursuit of high attainment. While other students spend their free time pent up on their dorm rooms counting the holes in their bulletin boards or watching re-runs of Happy Days, UHP students participate in a wide range of academic-oriented activities. They can take part in any number of reading groups, student lectures and poetry readings. They can tutor fellow Pitt students or actually work directly with Pittsburgh Public Schools' students who are experiencing learning difficulties. They may help edit essays submitted from around the country for publication in The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review. They can also participate in UHP's Work Study Program. The Honors Center 276 ACADEMICS Lori Remy is one such work study student who has her own office in the center. She speaks with enthusiasm about her job and the center. The home atmosphere is what I enjoy, says Remy. It gives people a chance to be people, as well as students. Aside from all the social and educational benefits of UHP, the primary THE SUCCESS OF THE HONORS PROGRAM is a result of the hard work of Director, Dr. Stewart. THE CENTER PROVIDES A MEETING PLACE and a relaxing place where students can go to take a break from their heavy courscload. reward of this program is the personal satisfaction that comes from hard work. Completing a class like Humanities 156 — UHP Paths of Inquiry produces a great sense of achievement. Students who were often shuffled through a boring high school curriculum are finally presented with a challenge through the UHP courses. Upon completing a UHP course, students can feel thay have stretched their minds a bit and at last accomplished something worthwhile in their educations. Most of the nearly 600 students who participate in UHP do possess exceptional intellect, at least in some particular area. In fact, a 3.25 Q.P.A. is listed as a requirement for entrance into the program. However, almost any student who has a high degree of interest and motivation may take courses through the UHP. According to Dr. Stewart, The Hallmark of any major university is an emphasis on high attainment at all levels. The UHP makes that point on the undergraduate level for any interested student. In a university where it is often easy to become lost in the shuffle, the University Honors Center provides a 24-hour academic community. At the University of Pittsburgh students can easily lose their sense of identity and feel more like a number than a functioning individual. UHP allows them to actively participate in their education and interact directly with the people who make the decisions. It combines an extremely enthusiastic staff and energetic students with a shared thirst for knowledge. The result is one of the most vital, close-knit communities on the Pitt campus. DISCUSSING FUTURE COURSE OFFERINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES is a daily acrivity for Honors, advisors and students. THE FEELING OF CLOSENESS AND FAMILY that exists at the Honor Center contributes to the success of the program. The Honors Center ACADEMICS 277 Overcoming Amazing Obstacles Karen Walkney Overcame Her Deafness to Teach the Sign Language Class Imagine, if you can, what it would be like to be the only deaf undergraduate student at a major university. Think of the constant frustration which would result from the communication barrier. Imagine being treated as an outcast by fellow-students and teachers alike. That is exactly the situation which Karen Walkney had faced each day by the time she graduated from Pitt in 1982. Yet, it was precisely this humiliation — this being pushed aside by teachers and overlooked by peers — that propelled Walkney to do something about it. Walkney's life is characterized by set-backs and obstacles which had to be overcome. During childhood she was treated as a slow-learner and placed into special classes. Once, she was even sent to a halfway house for emotionally troubled children. In high school she faced teachers with no training in how to deal with the hearing-impaired and was forced to keep an interpreter at all times. With such adversity in her past, it is no surprise that Walkney dreaded going to college. However, her fighting spirit and amazing drive pushed her to continue her education and face even more challenges. Since that time, she has been pushing herself to the limit every day. After attending Depaul Institute for the Deaf — an oral school which teaches speaking to the deaf and disallows sign language — Walkney went on to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the only one of its kind in the world. Here, Walkney began to become active in projects for the deaf. With a new perspective and eagerness to learn, Walkney realized that she could help other deaf students so they would not have to experience the hardships which she had faced. Her goal was to provide a social and emotional role model for the deaf community. She wanted to show the deaf just how much they could accomplish. With this idea in mind, she graduated from Pitt with a degree in social work. She was voted Miss Deaf Pennsylvania in 1983 which provided her the opportunity to travel across the state and work with deaf students. She also began directing a program for the deaf through the YMCA called Camp Get-Together which lets deaf children share experiences. However, despite all her work with the deaf, Walkney's main interest is in educating the hearing community. She wants to break down the barriers so that the hearing no longer feel intimidated by the deaf. This has been her greatest, but most fulfilling challenge. To accomplish her goal, Walkney organized the Beautiful Hands, a group PRACTICING SIGNING IS VERY important in learning sign language. Sign Language 278 ACADEMICS KAREN WALKNEY DEMONSTRATES a sign to her sign language class. THE POPULARITY OI THE SIGN LANGUAGE class at Pitt has grown continuously over the years that Walkney has taught it. of 17 hearing people whose goals are similar to her own. This group performs choreographed signing routines to music. Walkney performs by feeling the music's vibration. This group travels around the area and performs for both hearing and deaf audiences. She also began teaching sign language classes at Pitt. She looks to a day when non-signers are in the minority. Through her group, the Sign Connection, Walkney took this goal a step further. The group now sponsors Deaf Awareness Day. This event brings the hearing and deaf worlds together and educates both on how to live together. Corporations are invited to learn how to incorporate the deaf into the office. According to Walkney, It's for the hearing community from the deaf. Walkney's programs are becoming more popular all the time. Her sign language class fills up faster each term as more people become interested. It has taken Walkney's dynamic personality to accomplish all this in such a short time, with any luck, her goal of a signing world will one day be reality. Sign Language ACADEMICS 279 Coping With School Learning Skills Center Offers Programs to Deal With Academic Pressures D o you sometimes feel like calculus is a foreign language? Does your heart threaten to jump into your throat minutes before the professor passes out an exam? Do you feel as if the harder you work the farther behind you get? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then the Learning Skills Center could provide you with that extra bit of confidence needed to succeed at college. The Learning Skills Center incorporates individual counselling and tutoring and group workshops to help students cope with some of the pressures they experience during a term. Much of the interaction is between students. Often students feel more comfortable with a peer as opposed to a professional, so the Center has a number of Pitt students serving as Student Academic Counselors and math tutors. The student counselors meet with students in the privacy provided by the cubicles located in the Learning Skills Center. Some of the issues that the counselors go over with a student are better time management, lecture notetaking and textbook reading. Many students become anxious near examination time. The SACs also address this fact. They go over preparing for exams and long term memory'. In addition, they provide helpful hints on actually taking an exam. They cover topics ranging from budgeting time to ensure most of the test is completed to techniques leading to successful educated guessing. UTA AND MATH TUTOR Mike Bessasparis works along in his cubicle while he waits for his next student to arrive to assist. Learning Skills Center 280 ACADEMICS VALERIE HEART, A MATH 3A sludenl works an algebra problem to hone up on her skills. MATH TUTOR COLLEEN KUNERT, at right, watches as her tutee works out a problem. In a multiple choice test the verb tense and whether a or an was used to lead into the answer selections can be tip-offs to the right answer. When these mechanisms do not apply and you still have no idea what the correct answer is then you may be interested in knowing that statistics show that choices B and C are more commonly used for the correct answer. And, if you must choose between the two, choosing the longest answer is a good strategy. Educated guessing is a technique that all students have had to use so it is a part of the SACs' presentations. However, they impress on students that these methods should be used to answer the last two or three questions on a test and not the fifty or so that made up the test! The bulk of the counselling session is spent learning techniques to ensure that this is not the case. Another program available for students is the math tutoring. The tutors help students in Math 3A and 3B, the algebra-trigonometry series, and the calculus classes. These include Pre-Calculus, Business Calculus, and Math 22. The tutors have gone through a two-credit course learning math teaching techniques. The course is taught by Learning Skills Math Spcialist, Ann Massey. To be effective the tutors let the student do all of the writing. This prevents the tutor from doing all of the work and enables the student to learn more. Besides the one-on-one communications, the Center also offers many workshops throughout the term. In 1985 these included Study Skill workshops, seminars to prepare for final exams, and a workshop on how to study math. These workshops are conducted by the professionals in the Learning Skills Center. These are Jones, Massey, Georgne Materniak, the Coordinator of the Center, and Jane L e a v y, the reading specialist. These women feel that all students can succeed at Pitt if they take advantage of the opportunities for help that are available to them. Learning Skills Center ACADEMICS 281 MATH SPECIALIST, ANN MASSEY helps student Kirk Gregory become comfortable with word problems. PART OF A UTA'S JOB IS TO MAKE LESSON plans for the next recitation. Charles Alcorn prepares for his class. 282 Learning Skills Center ACADEMICS Students Helping Students UTAs Are an Example of Peer Helping graduate TA might. She knows the problems the students are going through, whereas a grad student might take the problems undergrads have as being rather simplistic. Tanya states, It might be easier for a grad student to make light of the problems because the work is very simple to them. There is, however, a lot involved in being an undergraduate TA. Aside from the two or three recitations per week, the UTAs must hold office hours, grade homework, and prepare quizzes weekly. In addition, those students who show interest in the program must take one of two courses in teaching methods and study skills: Seminar in Peer Helping or Math Workshop. Each of these courses is worth two credits. They must also apply to the program, attend an interview, and finally, the supervisor, Ann Massey determines those who are best qualified. There are currently twenty-six UTAs in the Math Department. Despite all of the hard work and intense screening, Tanya explains that the humanistic benefits make it all worthwhile. UTAs get a great deal of satisfaction out of knowing that they have helped a fellow' student get through a difficult problem. Students helping students, that's what makes it work. TANYA ORR, A UTA FOR MATH 3A, answers a question for her class. UTAs SPEND THREE HOURS EACH WEEK IN the Learning Skills Center holding office hours. Tamara Deutsch, at left, provides individual tutoring to her student. It can be a big step coming from the security of a high school math program to the intense college level math classes. In high school, students are used to smaller classes and a lot of individual help from teachers. Because of the often overwhelming size of college math courses a math phobia often results in new students. The University of Pittsburgh is attempting to remedy this problem through the use of undergraduate TAs. These are students who are proficient in mathematics and have the desire to help their fellow students overcome their difficulties in math. The one-on-one level of communication seems to benefit the students who might feel a bit more intimidated by graduate TAs. Tanya Orr is an undergrduate TA for Math 3A. She explains that she feels a little closer to the students than a Undergraduate Teaching Assistants ACADEMICS 283 Combatting Writer's Block The Writing Workshop Helps Students Overcome Their Writing Problems Q W_ itting with pencil in hand and staring at an empty sheet of paper often results in writer's block. You do not need to be an English Writing major to suffer this ailment; any student with a written assignment to do can become a victim. Writer's block can be developed because of a lack of a thesis statement, a problem with organization of notes or, questions about sentence construction, as well as many other obstacles. Solutions to these questions and problems can be obtained by stopping in at the Writing Workshop. The Writing Workshop is located on the fifth floor of the Cathedral of Learning in the area of the English department. However, the service is open to any student and it is not necessary to be an English major or enrolled in a writing course. By scheduling an appointment with a professional tutor writing-related problems can be solved. Writing tips are offered in the area of grammatical rules, organization, and development. At times, when a first draft of a paper is completed it is met with such a feeling of relief that upon rereading it the paper appears worthy of an A, if not a Pulitzer Prize. At times such as these, it may be worthwhile to let the paper sit for a day or let someone else read it so that the critique of the paper is not affected by clouded judgment. The tutors at the Writing Workshop recognize the feeling associated with overcoming the initial writer's block that leads to the rough draft also becoming the final draft and they can offer ways to prevent this. Like any student service, the instructors at the Writing Workshop will not write a student's paper for him, that would help no one; but they can address common writing problems and suggest ways to combat these. Whether bothered by when to use who and when to use whom or armed with a complex question about the development of a paper a visit to the Writing Workshop will be beneficial. REVISING AND REWRITING rough drafts are vital parts of the construction of a good story. Marie Eichler goes over a story to make revisions. STUDENT BUNMI SONEYE uses reference material to aid in his process of writing a better paper. 284 Writing Workshop ACADEMICS Classes With Flexible Hours External Studies Courses Enable Students to Set Their Own Time Schedule those cold January mornings when somehow, no matter how hard you try, you cannot crawl out of your warm bed for your 9:00 class it is easy to rationalize that nothing important was going to be covered anyway. If this happens on too many mornings the result can be irreparable. But, wouldn't it be nice if you could sleep in late every morning and suffer no dire consequences? This can be the case by taking a course offered by the University External Studies Program. Most UESP courses are offered through the College of General Studies. The concept of external studies is to enable students to study on their own at home by following a study guide that was written specifically for the External Studies Program. The requirements for grading are like most college courses — a combination of assignments, papers, projects, and exams is used. However, there is a difference. External studies courses emphasize self-pacing. Although dates are recommended to complete assignments by, they are not mandatory. With some exceptions, exams are taken and assignments are completed when the student feels prepared to undertake them. On those bitter cold mornings this program seems to be the ideal solution but like anything ideal, there can be a pitfall — procrastination. To combat this and to provide tips on self-discipline an assistance group called the Student Support staff provides a communication link between the students and the faculty and administrative procedures. In addition three 3-hour workshops are scheduled each term so that the professor and students can come together and meet to discuss the course material and to compare personal learning experiences. The University External Studies Program is another example of how the educational process is constantly changing. It combines giving students more responsibility in their own learning and less guidance from university professors. STUDENTS AND THE INSTRUCTOR gather during one of the three class meetings known as workshops. External Studies 285 ACADEMICS More Than a Full Load Student Athletes Must Fit Classes and Practices in Their Daily Schedule T JL rying to juggle athletic practices and a full load of classes may be the toughest game a student athlete at Pitt ever plays. Take the case of a woman swimmer. She is at Trees Pool at 7:00 AM for a morning workout and, when many of us are just waking up, she is heading into the classroom, only to return to the pool later in the afternoon. By the time she returns to her room she has put in more than a full day, but she still must study. In addition to the practice time, some sports, especially men's basketball, cause the athletes to spend much time travelling. During the Big East Tournament the team left on Tuesday, March 5, 1985, and returned Friday afternoon. Thus, three days of classes were unavoidably missed. Unfortunately, this becomes the norm during the basketball season. Yet, the NCAA requires a student athlete to complete 12 credits per term. This combination of practicing, competing, studying, and attending classes can become overwhelming. The Office of Support Services for Student Athletes offers support and guidance in successfully juggling these tasks. The office helps plan the short run and long term academic careers of student athletes. Their goal is for the students to work and graduate. Toward this end Support Services provides academic assessment to judge the reading and writing skills of the students. Learning skills development is available to those students desiring it. They also schedule and register over 100 freshmen each fall. Many athletes take advantage of the tutoring service provided. Dave Pistolesi, the Tutorial Coordinator for the office, points out that many major colleges have a mandatory study hall at night that student athletes must attend-Pitt has no program to parallel this. In stead, Pitt offers one-on-one tutoring, recognizing the fact that people learn BASKETBALL PLAYER CHIP WATKINS takes advantage of the advising offered by Support Services for Athletes by meeting with Tom Price. Support Services for Student Athletes 286 ACADEMICS LEARNING SKILLS SPECIALIST, Ruth Davis creates programs to help develop student athletes' study skills. differently and have their own unique study habits. Pistolesi said, Our goal is to develop strong, individual students. This theory results in the one-on-one tutoring. The tutors can be either graduate students or undergraduates and they often join the program based on the recommendations of profcssors.The tutoring sessions can take place in the office or away from it so the sessions are informal, but they must follow the academic guidelines. This translates to mean the tutors cannot do the work for the athletes. A special service provided enables student athletes to keep track of their progress in their courses during the term. Support Services monitors the status of students following midterms. The professors are asked to fill out a short form which asks how hard the student has been working, what improvements could be made, and what grade the student has earned to date. According to Pistolesi this enables the kids to see in black and white how they are doing. Many student athletes take advantage of the services provided by the office. How-ever, it is hard to determine the criteria on which to judge the success of the program. The students' grades are important but the ultimate goal in the minds of all counsellors in the Office of Support Services is to see the athletes graduate. When the NCAA passed their new guidelines to determine athletic eligibility it made the public more aware of graduation rates, grade point averages, and eligibility of athletes. TUTORING IS ONE OF THE services widely used by student athletes. Basketball player Andre Williams reviews his sociology book with Kim Waterson. Universities across the country published figures pointing out the academic standards of their athletes. Pistolesi maintains that it is often misleading to compare these figures at face value because different methods of computations are used. For example, when determining graduation rates do you include in your calculation the percentage of athletes who graduate with those athletes who left school before they attended for four years? And, with what class do you figure in the student athlete who has been red-shirted, with his academic class or with his athletic eligibility standing? These questions have no simple answers. As a result. Support Services does not emphasize the numeric figures. On the other hand, just succeeding in maintaining the athlete's eligibility is also not enough. For, as Pistolesi expressed, 'That's exploiting kids. The graduation rates for student athletes at Pitt are high. However, not every athlete at Pitt graduates. Pistolesi said, We are not going to get 100%, but we want to put the students in a position where they can come back and finish quickly. If the general population of Pitt students was analyzed, the athletic population would probably fare no worse in terms of graduation percentages and length of time taken to earn a degree. Many students decide to attend an additional term of classes to prevent overloading a course schedule or to make up for lost time due to such factors as changing a major. In the case of an athlete, not finishing in four years is seen as a negative factor. Perhaps if it were looked at in the terms just mentioned, it would not be. The student athlete is asked to perform on the field and in the classroom. Succeeding in both requires dedication, hard work, and stamina. The Office of Support Services for Student Athletes is there to provide an assist when one, or both become overwhelming. Support Services for Student Athletes ACADEMICS 287 Where are you going? The Answer Could Be Found at the Career Seminar W J V here are you going? — This was the question that was being asked at the Career Seminar Series held in the William Pitt Union during the first week of October. Many freshmen and sophomores had no answer to this question. When asked their major they answered with undecided or liberal arts. By walking around the seminar these students were given a chance to talk one-on-one with a member of an industry in which they had an interest. The Seminar was sponsored by the Career Counseling Center with the primary goal of helping students make career decisions. Each day brought a new field to the Assembly Room. There were over 250 total representatives. Monday and Thursday was devoted to Business, Industry, and Communication. Government and law was covered on Tuesday, and professionals from the fields of health, education, and social service spoke to students on Wednesday. Although many students had no idea how to .answer the question, Where are you going? and were looking for answers to general questions, there were also students with more specific things on their minds. Juniors and seniors attending knew their major but questioned how they wanted to apply it. With any major there is a wide variety of positions that a graduate qualifies for so each individual must focus on what interests him or her most within that field. The professionals provided helpful insight on what a certain job title requires and the typical duties of that job holder. By midweek the Career Seminar had helped many students answer the question Where are you going? but now another question had come up: How are you going to get there? As a senior approaches graduation he realizes that tne interview for the job is a big step toward reaching where he would like to be. To aid in this respect a workshop was offered on the last day of the seminar. Conducted by Career Consultant Bob Perkowski, How to Survive a Job Interview provided those who atttended with hints on how to et the most out of the interview — ow to prepare for it, how to present yourself during it, and how to use good follow-up procedures. This lecture provided many tips to add to the many received throughout the week. When examined all together many students found that they were mucn closer to making that career decision and this was the goal of the Career Seminar Series.

MATTHEW CBROKTA, waits in the interview suite for his upcoming interview with Kaufmann's. T X he headline reads, Pittsburgh is the No. 1 city in the nation. It would not be uncommon to find an article in that same newspaper citing Pittsburgh's above average unemployment. It may appear that these two items should be mutually exclusive. Regardless whether this is the case, a Pitt senior often finds himself or herself having to choose between remaining in the Number One city or pursuing more promising career opportunities outside of Pittsburgh. This decision is harder than at many schools because of the make up of Pitt's student population. According to Robert R. Hopkins, the Director of Placement, the typical Pitt student has certain characteristics. Most students have their homes within 50 miles of Pitt's campus and come from a strong family background. Carrying the generalities further, the student is probably a member of the first generation of his family to attend college. Often, his father has been the main breadwinner of the family and has worked in the Pittsburgh area during most of his life. Against this backdrop students have chosen to come to Pitt to attend classes and earn their degree. By doing so, the family ties have been reinforced. Hopkins sees this as a positive reflection on Pittsburgh and its uniqueness. However, this closeness results in turmoil for many seniors as they make the adjustment to relocation. Hopkins states, What we are going through at Pitt is the end of a sociological familial era. THE PLACEMENT LIBRARY HAS shelves of information on companies recruiting at Pitt. Business major Mary Ann Rudman reads about Nabisco. Placement Scrv i ce 290 ACADEMICS THE BULLETIN BOARDS LINING the walls of the Placement Sen-ice hold information ranging from part time job listings to the weekly interview schedule. This necessity of considering a change in residence does not affect all majors equally, and within majors and across majors students react to it differently. During the 1984-85 recruiting season mechanical and electrical engineers and computer science majors were in the most demand. However, this demand was often outside of What we are going through at Pitt is the end of a sociological familial era. Pittsburgh, and what has come to be known as brain-drain continued to be experienced locally as the hi-tech graduates found jobs in other cities. Students who had devoted their academic careers to accounting or business also found themselves being heavily recruited. Unlike the technical majors, these students found many op- portunities to remain in the Pittsburgh area. Local businesses, such as the department stores and insurance companies, were looking for graduates who could enter the company and learn. Liberal arts majors and general business students fit this mold. Students in the fields of social work, education, and nursing have not, as yet, found the need to address relocation very much. There can be many factors determining how someone will react to relocation. Different magnets can be at work, either drawing a student to adulthood or drawing him back to the old gang. Relocation is not for everyone and some students used the placement service to interview exclusively with Pittsburgh-based companies. But Hopkins cautions, A self-limiting candidate will never meet the potential an employer wants. And seniors have spent the last four years of their lives proving that they have the potential. It may be the case that leaving the city is the route required to show- this potential, but the move does not have to be permanent. Hopkins is optimistic about Pittsburgh's future and cites the fact that the job market here has improved over the last five years. He expects this trend to continue as the labor market changes. As April approached many seniors came to understand this outlook and were ready to leave the milieu of academia and begin their professional careers. If this took them outside of Pittsburgh, then so be it. For, first they fought relocation, then they accepted it, and finally they welcomed it.

STUDENT MARY HELD LOCATES A book among the 1,200,000 that can be found on Hillman's shelves. HILLMAN IS A GOOD PLACE TO go to combine study and research. Elaine Falbo uses the library for quiet study. Hillman Library ACADEmI AFTER CLASSES ARE OVER FOR Jhe day students head to the library to avoid the noise of the dorms or the distractions of home. THE MAGAZINE INDEX PROVIDES a quick way for this Pitt student to locate the whereabouts of an article. Imagine it is about 12 noon and you are walking through Hillman Library looking for a table to share with your friends. You probably have to go to your third or fourth favorite spot before you can find an available table. You may be wondering why everyone chooses the library to congregate and, in light of this, how you were able to find any table. Now imagine it is 1936. Hillman Library with its 255,000 square feet and seating capacity for 2,500 students does not exist yet. Thus, you are walking through Pitt's central library located in the Cathedral of Learning with the same goal in mind. Now, instead of walking amid the spacious surroundings and 1,200,000 books we take for granted at Hillman, you are limited to surroundings that house up to 140,000 books and 640 students. You quickly find that your favorite and least favorite study spots are taken and you can only wish for a larger library. Luckily, it is no longer 1936. Since 1968 Hillman Library has been available for use. Thanks to private study carrels, group study rooms, and numerous tablees it is a place to spend time. Time for studying, or spending with friends, or making new friends, or doing research, or ... Like any library, Hillman has its card catalogs, microfilm room, reference areas, and bookstacks. But Hillman offers much more. The second floor holds the reserve room which we have all used for one class or another. Instructors can hold materials there for students' use. Usually they are lent on a two-hour basis. Much of this material will follow the same path: from reserve room to photocopier, but you can no longer put another nickel in to get a copy; not since the inception of Ven-dacard. This little card can be bought for 50 cents and at any time a cash amount can be read onto the card. You can now make unlimited copies until the value reads zero without worrying about carrying nickels and dimes. The ground floor is the main reference area and information center but it also is the location of Hillman's map collection. Contained in the collection are National Geographic maps and street and road maps from throughout the world. A stop here is necessary before you go biking abroad. The Stark Listening Center has a variety of tapes from literature, music, and foreign languages which can be used for private listening, learning, and enjoying. For those people looking for the unusual, finding your way to the third floor is a must. Hillman's Special Collections are housed here. Rare books, finely bound books, and rare comic books are some of the samplings to be viewed there. And, for those students with spare time on their hands, fiction books and recreational readings can be found at the first floor's Alldred Collection. When confronted with a major research paper to do, Hillman would be the logical place to begin. Your search may start here but before you finish you will probably find yourself exploring Pitt's other libraries. The branch libraries total 17 in number and are spread throughout Oakland from the Chemistry and Computer Science Library in Alumni Hall to the Music Library in the Music Building. These libraries offer specialized subject matter and trained librarians to help in specific areas. Many of these libraries are designed for graduate research but are available for undergraduate use as well. The Fine Arts Library is designed for art and architecture students and contains in-depth holdings on Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern Art. Libraries are often perceived as cold and stuffy, but this does not have to be the case. Hillman Library can be warm and cozy if you just take the time to go beyond the book shelves to discover the diverse collections and facts of interest there — and don't forget to stop at the Archives to browse through old yearbooks — you just might find out more about that 1936 library. Hillman Library ACADEMICS Study Habits We All Have Different Techniques, and Hillman Is the Place for All THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS remain the most popular places for friends to get together to study. HILLMANS AUDIOVISUALS ENABLE a student to fit viewing a classroom film into his schedule. 294 Hillman Library ACADEMICS W WV EMPTY TABLES ARE RARE on the first floor of Hillman which has been known as more of a gathering place than a studying place. s t—'tudy skill experts agree that different people have their own individual styles of studying. What works for one person may not work for the next. The atmosphere at Hillman enables many of these different techniques to work under one roof. Some students find themselves escaping to Hillman for the quiet studying they could not achieve in their dorm room. At the library they can work peacefully in one of the quiet study rooms or a more private carrel. However, those students seated at carrels are probably the best organized due to the limited desk space. Regardless of the level of neatness of a person, if he or she wants to study with a friend a carrel would not be the place to go. Because THE STAFF OF HILLMAN IS trained to provide assistance to students. Marcella McGrogan aids a student using equipment. of its four levels there always seems to be another choice at Hillman. Many group study rooms are located on the upper floors and some are equipped with chalkboards for instruction. There are Tome study techniques that find their owners avoiding the library completely. Libraries are fairly quiet so those students who need a loud stereo nearby to concentrate would appear to have to study elsewhere. This is no longer the case. With the growing popularity of the Walkman students can have their loud music and an atmosphere conducive to studying. Study skill experts also agree that the average person has an attention span of 45 minutes to an hour. When the mind begins to wander regularly there may not be a refrigerator to head to, but there are many other possibilities at Hillman to take advantage of until a clear head for studying returns. One can always read the graffiti on the tables, peruse the bookshelves, seek out a friend to talk with for a few minutes, or take a short nap (many students believe there is a strong correlation between studying at Hillman and sleeping). Even though you can become momentarily distracted, it is easier to get back to studying at the library since these distractions are temporary. No matter how bizarre you think your study habits are, there is probably a place at Hillman Library where they will fit in. Hillman Library ACADEMICS 295 Registration Begins With Advisors Advisors Are Links Between Students and Academic Process £3eing responsible for the smoothsailing academic careers of 120 students is no easy task. That is the overwhelming job which advisors must face each day. The advisor is a very important link between the individual student and the entire academic process. They spend sixteen hours per week at the job, and only about two of these is spent on paperwork. For the other fourteen hours a week the advisors meet with students one-on-one. The most hectic time for advisors is, of course, during registration. They may have as many as ten appointments per day with students. The job of the advisor is to be able to answer any questions the students might have. The student's job is to have the questions. The whole registration process begins with advising appointments. These informal meetings allow the student and advisor to get to know each other. They are essential for the advisor to identify any problems the student may be encountering. They also give the student a chance to talk to someone within the university system who has genuine concern for students' well-being. Advising sessions are followed by the more formal registration sessions. Here, the student presents the advisor with his her desired course options. The advisor may then give some helpful ideas about which particular courses and teachers would be in the student's best interest. After this, is the trip to Thackeray and the long registration lines. Often students take their advisors for granted. They expect advisors to know what is best for them and to inform them. Yet few people ever wonder how their advisors came to have so much on-hand information about how Pitt CAS ADVISOR CINDY HOFFMAN helps students schedule classes and become more independent. 296 Advisors Registration works. Most advisors have been students and or teachers for quite a while. They have a very good knowledge of the problems students are facing. In fact, advisors are required to be graduate students, and can therefore take a special interest in students' concerns. Aside from this initial requirement, there is a lot involved in becoming an advisor. They must first apply and participate in two interview sessions. The interviewers look for people who are intelligent, personable and have some knowledge of the university. Counselling experience is not a requirement. Once accepted the prospective advisors go through an extensive training program. It lasts seven weeks and requires twenty hours per week. During this time the advisors go around to the various departments, meet the faculty and learn about the courses that are of- fered. They are able to obtain a great deal of valuable information to pass on to students. Advisor Cindy Hoffman explains that advising students is hard work. There are so many students to become familiar with; yet Cindy says, 1 was surprised at how quickly I got to know them. There are many humanistic benefits to being an advisor; the individual contact with students is one of the most important. However, it can often be difficult to find the right combination of personal guidance and the encouragement that the student needs to become more independent. The advisors are there to guide students in a suitable direction. They can contribute a wealth of information to students. It is the student's responsibility to utilize that information as a complement to his her own skills, needs, and aspirations. + INTERN SHI AT PITT ACADEMICS AS THE DEMAND FOR COMPUTER science classes continued to increase, the department implemented special permission to avoid the overnight registration lines. THE ADD DROP PERIOD ENABLES students to change their minds about a class or enter a class that was previously closed. LONG LINES ARE A NECESSARY evil each time the registration process comes around. Advisors Registration -------academics 297 Aim High! The Air Force ROTC Prepares Students for Military Careers T JL his year's senior class has seen a definite improvement in the Air Force ROTC program at Pitt over the last four years. As freshman cadets the program nad a detachment rating of 132 out of 151 programs across the country. Today,just four years later, the rating has risen to a very impressive tenth. This rise can be attributed to Lt. Colonel Joseph R. Kolek who was at Pitt for over two years and Colonel David N. Thompson who is the present overseer of the program. Colonel Thompson is a pro-fessor of aerospace science and he has been at Pitt since August 10, 1984. He is the current instructor of the sophomore class and brings 22 years of Air Force experience to nis position. The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) prepares cadets for active duty. This is achieved through a combination of classes, labs, and a four-week summer camp between a student's sophomore and junior years. The classes combine lectures, student presentations, and films, and the content varies with each academic year. The freshman and sophomore classes are each one-credit and deal with the Air Force organization and history. When a cadet enters his third year of the ROTC program he or she enrolls in a series of three-credit courses. The junior class deals with management. It is the most civilian of the classes and teaches different styles of management leadership. The title of the senior class is National Security Forces. The students study why alliances are formed and wny they are broken, as these relate to the Air Force. This course also examines current events. Participation in the AFROTC program offers more than just an academic environment. Students compete each term for voluntary assignments. The top student position is the Group Commander, held in the winter term by Karen Serafino. As Group Commander, Karen's duties ranged from training to making sure all cadets in the Professional Officer Course have a position. She also was responsible for evaluating the cadets at the end of the term, which is one of the criteria on which awards are based, and ensuring that appearance regulations are met. As Karen stated, The regulations fill a book, and it includes such items as how to wear the uniform and where to place the rank on it. Serafino also wrote the job descriptions for the cadets directly below her. These serve as an outline of the organization of Pitt's ROTC. Each winter a position of Special Advisor is created. This was filled in the winter term by David Tobin who acted as the Group Commander during the fall. Other AFROTC organizations serve as planners for activities that occur during the year. The Arnold Air Society Service fraternity donates their time to community functions such as answering phones during a WQED telethon and labeling cans for Children's Hospital's charity drives. They also sponsored three blood drives during the year and provided the Color Guard for home football games. From March 5, 1985, through the ninth the Arnold Air Society National Conclave 1985 was held at the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel. The location of this convention changes annually with many schools competing for the responsibility of hosting it. At NATCON '85 business at the national level was discussed as well as voting for the next site of the con ven tion. The weekend cost over $100,000 to conduct and provided a chance to hear generals from the Pentagon give their view from the top. In addition, the 1500 people from AFROTC programs across the country were treated to festivities such as a dinner dance and a trip down the river aboard the Gateway Clipper Fleet. The largest subdivision of the cadets is led by the Vice Commander. This sition was the undertaking of senior rry Migyanko in the winter. According to Serafino, he is responsible for the daily, but not routine, running of the operation, for as Karen said, Nothing's really routine here. The Vice Commander's duties can be divided into four subdivisions, one of which is the Operations Division. In addition to other functions, this division is responsible for training freshmen and preparing sophomores for the field training. For a cadet to become 298 Air Force ACADEMICS eommisioned upon graduation this training must be done. There is a special spirit and pride shared among members of the AFROTC. It is demonstrated by Pitt's Blue Day. Cadets are required to wear their uniforms to class and the weekly lab. In addition, the blue uniforms are visible throughout the campus every Thursday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. This is Blue Day. The relatively small number of cadets, there are 110 students in the program at Pitt, enables this dedication and closeness to exist. Another benefit of involvement in a ROTC program is the job security it provides upon graduation. In April Karen graduated with a BS degree in Computer Science and Math. Unlike many of her classmates Karen knew for a long time who her employer would be — the United States Government. On April 28, 1985, before Commencement exercises, Karen and her fellow senior cadets were commissioned into the Air Force for four years. This opportunity to gain fulfilling experience and advanced education was possible because of involvement with the Air Force ROTC. DRILLS ARE HELD TWO OR THREE times a term to prepare freshmen and sophomores for summer camp. Shown is Freshman Flight A drilling in March.

F A or many years, scholars, physicians, humanitarians, and ... well, other important people have been researching the lifestyles of college students. Their purpose — to discover the reasons so many students experience listlessness, irritability, and above all, the tendency to nod off at will during class. Many conclusions have been proposed, including: lack of sleep, poor eating habits and fast living. However, all of these experts have failed to uncover one shocking new find — The Lecture Syndrome. This discovery is so revolutionary it could change the course of learning for centuries to come. Recent studies have shown that, horror of horrors, many college students are displeased with their classroom environment. This is a result of several factors. It seems that students become frustrated and disoriented upon entering a lecture hall which is so large that a microphone must be used by the professor and video monitors must project his or her image to the students in the rear of the class. This shock and the feeling of alienation which accompanies it produce a strange, but natural, phenomenon from the students in the last several rows — they are often thrust into a fit of slumber which may often last for the duration of the lecture. A second prominent factor which contributed to the Lecture Syndrome is the apparent drabness of many classrooms. The rooms which cause the most problems are those which are painted a pale yellow or sea-foam green shade, have no windows and no central ventilation. Students attending classes in these areas are frequently given to a type of tantrum which compels them to write on anything from their desks, to themselves to the girl in front of them. One final factor involves the actual classroom seats. Many have left-handed desks; many have no desks at all; many have desks which cannot be lifted. After a day of battling such seats and desks, it is not uncommon to see students growling on thier way back to the dorm rooms. Much research must still be done on this new and exciting subject. When university administators get news of The Lecture Syndrome, we can be certain that they will rush right out to correct the problem. Until then, students may find solace in the fact that help is on the way. THE NATIONALITY ROOMS ARE a unique atmosphere to have a class in.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon CREEKS 319 To Pitt’s Greeks — She’s Priceless Bridget Guernsey is a name that ever)' Greek at the University of Pittsburgh should keep close at hand. Bridget is the Assistant Director of Student Activities for Greek Organizations and she is working hard to promote the Greek system and improve its standing. Bridget is a graduate of Ball State University where she was a member of Alpha Chi Omega. After graduation she served as a consultant to her sorority. After a short stay at the University of Cincinnati, where she worked as Greek Affairs Coordinator, Bridget made her move to Pitt. Her Master's Degree in counselors education, along with her experience, has helped Bridget in helping others. As with any job, Bridget finds advantages and disadvantages as the Greek advisor. One clear advantage is the student enthusiasm which makes her job more enjoyable. Because the Greek system is so strong nationally as well as on campus, it is easier to find support with their organizations. As Bridget puts it, Greeks are without a doubt the most school spirited group on campus. It's really sad to see that people have the same stereotypes of Greeks that were present since the 1970's, complains Bridget. She finds this a strong disadvantage to her job. Greeks work hard to achieve academic success and many become leaders later in life. She cites President Ronald Reagan as evidence. Though stereotypes persist about the Greek system, Greeks at Pitt continue to raise thousands of dollars every year for a good cause. One of the problems that let the out-dated stereotypes continue is the lack of public relations available to the Greeks. I feel that the University of Pittsburgh has good resources and is committed to Greeks, notes Bridget. However, it's difficult to give them all the attention they need because there are other priorities which come first, and we understand that. Bridget goes on to say, The University's intentions are good and they offer a lot of support; Greeks just have to learn how to be their own public relations. What's next for Bridget? Well, she is now trying to make herself more visible to the Greek community. Because of the size of Pitt, Bridget feels that many of the services and resources available go unused. She, in fact, is one of the valuable resources that many of the Greeks overlook. A lot of the students don't even realize I'm here sometimes, so they often spend two hours going from office to office trying to find something out. With a skillful air about her and the slightest touch of modesty, Bridget continues, I could have done it in five minutes. AT THE DEDICATION of the new fraternity complex. Bridget had a few words to say. IN HER OFFICE on the first floor of the student Union, Bridget makes plans for Pitt's Greeks.

In the fraternity system, this organization is known as the Interfraternity Council (IFC). Pitt currently has 21 national fraternities some of which established chapters as early as 1904. The IFC has a variety of purposes. Probably the most important purpose is that the IFCseeks to en o mfiTennW. lizatioHpromofes .� r h oocH IsoMta d emphaW!P Btai to Jen orgSni; tves to involve st ions .benefiting th and the community. Fraternities have often been stereotyped as a bunch of beer-sucking, hell raising kids. The IFC here at Pitt is doing what it can to show the community that Greeks are hardworking, goal-oriented people. This is seen every year during Greek Week, when all the greek organizations work together to raise thousands of dollars for a worthwhile charity. This year's proceeds benefited Eye and Ear Hospital of Pittsburgh. Throughout the 1970's fraternities came under a lot of fire because of their pledging activities. Hazing became a major concern of the IFC. One of the top priorities of the IFC members here at Pitt is to standardize, control and regulate pledging activities to ensure the safety of the student. In line with this, they also oversee the social functions of the men's social fraternities to be certain that all groups are conforming with the University policy. The IFC has its own constitution which everv fraternity must abide by. lat Pitr, ii k office In fact, thi presidents spent their college days in the Pitt Greek System. Many of those who form Pitt's administration have Greek backgrounds, also; including a number of vice-chancellors and members of the Board of Trustees. Greeks control most of the leadership positions throughout campus. Luke Kluchko, Delta Tau Delta brother, is the Student Government Board President and many of the other board members are also Greeks. The IFC teaches leadership and self-governance which makes these gentlemen an asset to society.

America's most liveable city had a new claim to be proud of: Pitt's 22 fraternities and 16 sororities broke fundraising records by collecting $50,000 for Eye and Ear Hospital during what Mayor Caliguiri declared Greek Week 1985. Since 1973, Pitt Greeks have been serving the Pittsburgh Community with their week of amusement and philanthropy, but according to overall Greek Week Chairman Kathy Brown, this year was one of the most productive. An annual event, Greek Week, which took place from March 9-16, is the time for the 1,300 members of Pitt's greek system to unite to raise money for charity and have fun while doing it. The competitions were conducted with six match groups, five fraternities and five sororities in each, competing in the various events. Prizes were awarded for the top three match group places in each event, plus individual sorority and fraternity awards for Greek Sing and overall winners. All of the money raised went to Eye and Ear Hospital. To Kathy Brown, this year's Greek Week was a learning experience. It taught me, more than anything else, that being a Greek is being special. I never realized the extent to which Greeks will go to help their community. The $50,000 will completely equip a new room at Eye and Ear. Eye and Ear Hospital, which treats GREEK WEEK TROPHIES were on display at the formal 75 to 100 patients daily, provides area residents, most of whom have no other access to medical care, with special ophthamology (eye care) and otolaryngology (ear. nose, and throat care) treatment. Ms. Brown and Co-Chairman Tom Brizes compiled these three goals for Greek Week '85: 4Maintain a high level of cooperation and organization at all times. 'Raise $50,000 for Eye and Ear Hospital. It's an even, completely tangible figure, and we thought it would be a dynamite thing to hand them a check for $50,000, said Ms. Brown. 'Have fun while doing it. A lot of the time Greek Week is so much work, people forget to have fun, said Ms. Brown. This year's Greek Week promised good times for all, from the Kick-Off on February 1, to the Greek Formal held on Saturday, March 23. The Kick-Off was held in the ballroom of the William Pitt Union and included such prestigious guests as James Roddey, representing Mayor Richard Caliguiri, Jack Bogut, representatives from Eye and Ear Hospital and the Central Blood Bank, and Pitt administrators and student leaders. The Kick-Off sets off the canning collection for Greek Week, said Ms. Brown. She described canning as when. Students go out and collect mone for a given charity with a can — a intersections, in front of stores, and door-to-door. The next event was Greek Sing, in which individual fraternities and sororities performed six minute song and dance routines in Carnegie N .isic Hall. This year's winners were Chi Omega for sororities and Pi Lambda Phi for fraternities. It was one of the highlights of Greek Week, said Ms Brown, and probably the most competitive. Groups were given a certain anv unt WITH CAN-IN-HAND, Pitt's Greeks set o t on Greek Week to raise $50,000. 344 Creek Week CREEKS of points for their performance in each compc ition.

The est of the week was filled with old fa writes like: the Chariot Race, in which matched groups of six raced chariots down Bigelow Blvd.; Fun-N-Cames Might, where Greeks teamed up to pla games like musical chairs; and PGOCEEf POMATED TO E eae ho ;pita TOM BRIZES, CO-CHAIRMAN, presents a congratulatory plaque to a Roy Rogers representative. Bar Night at C.J. Barney's. The consistently greatest fundraising event was the 24-hour Dance Marathon. On March 25 and 26, over 160 couples collected over $100.00 each from canning and businesses to dance 'round the clock. A new Greek Week event was Roy Rogers' Greek Gorge, in which Greeks competed to eat the most roast beef sandwiches in the shortest amount of time. Roy Rogers donated the food, t-shirts, hats and gave $250 towards the winning group's charity money. Roy Rogers donated over $7,000 to Greek Week this year for the Greek Gorge, food at Greek Week Committee meetings and all trophies for Greek Week (valued at $3,500) Other major sponsors of Greek Week were McDonald's and Pepsi-Cola. In addition the Central Blood Bank donated one thousand buttons. Publicity included 60 billboards throughout Pittsburgh, appearances by Brown and Brizes on the O'Brian and Garry Show on WHTX-Rndio, television coverage of Greek Sing, B94-FM radio coverage of the Dance Marathon and public service announcements on radio stations. Getting the best possible public relations was one of the reasons why Brown and Brizes chose Eye and Ear as this year's charity from about eight applications. Ultimately, the amount of money we received was contingent on the amount of public relations we received, said Ms. Brown. We wanted to take all the charities that applied, but we had to decide which charity would offer us the most public relations so we could have the most successful Greek Week. Most importantly, said Ms. Brown, by-condensing Greek Week into a mere week — as compared to spreading events throughout March, as in previous years — students will be more encouraged to participate. Another change from previous years is the way in which the overall chairpersons structured Greek Week — by defining all 24 chairperson's duties and responsibilities early on and developing a network of organization. Greek Week Ms. Brown called Greek Week, The sin-gular greatest leadership experience that I've had. I've learned so much about group dynamics, public relations and finance. I think it has given me a good sense of what corporate organization is like in terms of structure, she said. This year, as in every' year, we managed to destroy those old-time stereotypes that Greeks are a bunch of beer-drinking, juvenile delinquents. We have an organization to be proud of and nobody can take that from us, said Ms. Brown, by Nadia Brown The Pit I Neu s. A SIGMA DELTA TAU GIRL kicks upa leg at Greek Sing.

A woman that breaks all the rules. In her sophomore year of college, Lisa transferred to Pitt from the University of Connecticut. Her decision was a combination of reasons — to be closer to her home in Altoona, for her business economics dual major, and to play basketball for Pitt's Lady Panthers. The past two years Lisa has not only started but as a guard led the team in steals and was the second leading scorer on the team. She played for the East in the National Sports Festival when she was in Connecticut and this past year Lisa has been nominated for Academic All American in the East. Not too shabby for someone who never dribbled a basketball until tenth grade. Okay, so the kid can play basketball. But that's not the extent of Lisa's talents. Maintaining a 3.3 QPA she qualifies for the academic honor roll. Sports has been beneficial to my grades because it has taught me to budget my time, Lisa explains. A physical activist, Lisa loves to run and enjoy all kinds of sports. What does the future hold for this talented senior? Because she was forced to sit out a year after her transfer, Lisa has another year of eligibility left. She's not taking it, however, since she's completed her dual major on time But that's not the only reason that Lisa won't be playing basketball next year. She is marrying her high school sweetheart, a civil engineering major on a football scholarship at the University of Connecticut. I'm looking forward to having a family. It's real important to me because my family means the world to me I don't think I could have gotten through half of college life without them. 1 know I don't sound like a typical jock, but 1 want to be a housewife — cooking and cleaning — the whole bit. With her charismatic smile and energetic manner, Lisa is definitely atypical and will obviously succeed in any role she may undertake. Ellen L.

How' does an engineering student get into the most prestigious law school in the country? AH one needs is a background like Pat-McElhinny's. Pat's potential was evident back in high school at West Harvard Boun Mifflin where besides graduating as number one in his class, tie was very involved. For his accomplishments, as well as an outstanding performance on his SAT's. Pat was awarded a NT.ition.il Merit Scholarship, and received a Chancellor's Scholarship to Pitt. He wanted to go to Law school ever since high school, but decided to try engineering at Pitt with the thought of transferring out if he didn’t like it.

This fee supports the Student Health Service, located on the first floor of Brackenridge Hall. The fee also covers the Health Education Office and the Forbes Health Clinic. The newest edition to the Health Service is a lab which serves as an outpatient clinic. The clinic provides all types of medical aid, from allergy shots to family planning to in-office surgery. What ever ails you can be cured by the Student Health Service, except for financial aid ailments, you still have to take those to Bruce Hall, by Scott Page MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST JANE ANDREWS dots d differential, checking for white blood cells in the Health Service's recently added laboratory.

Senior Joe Simosky has a lot of things going for him beside foj intelligence, and personality is certainly one of them. His friem). ly, gregarious nature makes him the kind of guy anyone could lj and his accomplishments make him a person that one can only admire. Joe's unusual majors — Behavioral Neuroscience and Engineering — stem from his interests in high school. He combined his inter of medicine and engineering to form a dual major. After graduation Joe plans to go to graduate school and eventually receive a Ph.D. well as an MD and work as a Biomedical Engineer. His accomplishments are impressive. As a valedictorian fro Brentwood High School, Joe was awarded a National Merit Scholarship as well as a Chancellor's Scholarship to Pitt. With his 4.0 at Pit he is a University Scholar as well as a member of various honcr societies. With all that going for him one may think that extracurricular activities would take a back seat in Joe's life. Not true. Music is a major passion of Joe's, anything from Peter Cabriel t.i Beethoven. Having played the piano since third grade; the keyboard is what he's best at, although he also plays the guitar anc saxophone. Joe is also largely responsible for the reemergence of the formerly award winning engineering magazine The Skyscraper, and for tht past three years has been the editor-in-chief. The magazine had fallen out of publication until Joe and some motivated friends decided to start it up again in 1982. The Skyscraper is published four times year and under Joe's thumb has grown to include every facet of th engineering student's life. Joe's charismatic personality stems from a rare outlook on life. 1 have a tendency to throw myself into whatever I involve myself in.’ explains Joe. Meeting Joe was certainly an inspiring experience. At for his rare moments of free time, Joe cites photography and running as his favorite hobbies. I also make a mean cheese and ham omeletti and a pretty fair Caesar salad. by Julie Hunt. Gigi C.

Leder CAS — Sociology Byung Wan Lee CAS — Computer Science e With Some Help From His Friends EYESIGHT IS NOT A BARRIER to Willy's education IhankstoStnder interviewing Pitt senior William Wilson, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. As I nervously awaited his arrival in a basement classroom in the Cathedral, I wondered how and if I'd be able to talk frankly to William about his handicap — his blindness. Upon William's arrival. | realized his blindness wasn't his 'handicap and would go unrecogni ,. ed except for the accompaniment of his seeing-eye dog, William and i sat down to talk while Strider, his dog , dozed under the desk at our feet. William, or Willy as friends call him, is 33 years old. He worked as a construction worker up until six years ago when he was blinded. Ad-justing to his loss of sight was a difficult process. After a year with « cane to aid him, Willy met a girl with a seeing-eye dog. Since he hated his cane, Willy decided to get a dog as well. Strider, named from j. r Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, has been leading Willy around ever since; a companionship that has grown to mean much more. Strider is my best friend. I can't imagine life without him, says Willy. Willy and Strider came to Pitt when the state offered to pay his tuition as part of his rehabilitation. Willy had always wanted to finish col. lege, having had some courses before quitting to work, and it was this twist of fate that gave him the opportunity to do just that. How does Willy manage around campus? Revolving doors can be a hassle, jokes Willy. Strider learns Willy's schedule and between the two they get around fine. If I try to cur class I run into problems. Strider won't let me because he gets into his own routine. And if Willy and Strider really do get stuck, a compassionate passerby will usually lend a hand- What about classroom obstacles? Willy takes notes in a notebook with a guide since he knows how to write. The state subsidized reader reads the notes and helps him put them on tape. As for books, they are usually available on tape and if they aren't his sister, who works here at the university, will read to him. As for test day, the Disabled Student Services do a great job of helping me out, Willy says. William not only manages in the classroom, but as a psychology major has maintained a 3.85 QPA. Studies take up a lot of my time.”' Although he hasn't applied to graduate school he'd like to go. Short wave listening and jazz music are just two of Willy's hobbits, but basically college takes up most of Willy's time. Once you've learned to get around, the rest sort of falls into place. I enjoy going to school, it also keeps my dog busy. If it weren't for Strider, 1 wouldn't be here.' by Julie Hunt JOU seniors Deborah Lee Leff CAS — Business Math Diane M.

From a graduating class of 45, Nora went to work for the government. After 33 years with the department worked herself up to Chief of Reports and Analysis at Greater Pittsburgh Airport. In order to train for the position, the government sent Nora to Ran. O ool, Illinois, in 1977. Although Rantool may not sound like any place i; important, she was trained with some of the finest military minds � the world. To lighten the difficult work load, the students were assign, cd study partners — and Nora's just happened to have been one of the highest officers in the Iranian Imperial Air Force. Jay was the key t0 S opening the door to all kinds of places. It was through him that Nora got invited to a birthday party for the Shah of Iran. She describes the party as beautifully decorated and breathingly plush. It was so im pressive because American officers were dying to go but weren't allowed. While Nora worked at the airport, she traveled on the weekend , Since her husband was an airline pilot, Nora was entitled to fre? K unlimited airline travel, and she certainly utilized the privilege. Now has been all over the United States as well as the world, a few times � - From the North Pole to the mountains of Israel where she was randomly chosen to portray Ruth in a religious foreign film. Wherever she went her likeable personality invited things to happen. The night she dated a dark, handsome foreigner, for instance, she found out the next day he was the son of an Arab sheik. Her favorite place is Lake Tahoe i because you can swim and ski in the summer. That is 'where I learned f f how to ski — Squaw Valley, One of the most impressive things about Nora is her philosophy on § life. I don't dwell on the bad. 1 forget the bad things in life very quickly because I replace them with the positive Stocks, trips, property, and her guitar are all examples of replacements for things that went wrong — a fight with a boss or a major disappointment. It was just this philosophy tht brought Nora back to college and to Pitt — to replace a negative. She is now graduating 40 years after her high school gradua tion — with a degree in psychology. She's not using her degree to make money but because she wants to work overseas as a volunteer, Over there you can't do anything without a degree. Nora's immediate post graduate plans include moving to her favorite state, Texas, close to some friends. Eventually, she'll do some volunteer work overseas. J Wherever her travels take her, it's certain that Nora's life could neve: be short of exciting, by Julie Hunt What of the Next 40 Yea FROM THESHAH of Iran to Zulu Princesses — Nora hasseen it all.

Twigg CCS — Computer Science. Michael Amyodolas, an outstanding senior here at Pitt, spoke Creek before he spoke English. From his heritage to his fraternity activities, Mike's nickname, Greek, is certainly accurate. Mike is active in his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, and held such positions as IFC representative, secretary. Brother of the Year, and president. He prefers the atmosphere of a smaller fraternity. Currently, Mike lives in the house which he describes, surprisingly enough, as quiet. Mike's major combines chemistry, which he did well in, and anthropology, which is a personal interest and more in triguing. He's involved in various honor societies, but says Druids is his favorite because you get to interact with campus leaders on an informal basis. Socializing, Mike feels, is an important part of campus life. When his 3.93 QPA was noted as being outstanding, he was quick to point out that he's no different than anyone else. Not wishing to conform to an egg-head stereotype he points out his interests — intramural sports, music and parties. Greek describes his parents, who live in Beaver Falls, as. 1 was brought up as school being number one to do well I guess 1 took it to heart. When it came time to choose a college he came to Pitt on a Provost Scholarship because of its proximity to his home and its pre-med program. Like a true Pitt student, he turned down a scholarship offer to Penn State. Some of Mike's honors include the Aema Locke Award for the student who most exemplifies the ideals of the University and an Outstanding Achievement Award for chemistry. He also received an E. F. Teplitz Scholarship. He describes his affiliation with the honors program as 'valuable' because of the one-to-one contact with the professors. After graduation Mike will be doing what he's wanted to do since fourth grade: He's going to become a doctor. Good Luck, Greek! by Julie Hunt J vTw, � 5QQ SENIORS DjJ Terry T.

A class ring is a source of pleasure and conversation for years. After six weeks of anticipation, waiting for the ring to be fashioned and shipped from the manufacturer, it takes several weeks to adjust to owning the ring That's why you sometimes see seniors smiling at their fingers. Finally, after buying a ring you must learn to do two things. The first is accept compliments from strangers like, That's a nice ring , the second is prepare to answer the ever popular question. Is that your class ring7'' by Norman Bond BALFOUR Kf.PRES£NTAnVF ),.hn IVilav assists F ift Selva m (he selection of her class ring Abulaban.

Like a strong idea in a well-balanced sentence, it connects people to each other. Pittsburgh is a city of many bridges; a city where much is communicated. And the largest communicator in Pittsburgh is Ketchum Advertising. We are the bridge for many of Pittsburgh’s top corporations: we deliver their messages to their audiences, providing sturdy, direct passage across the murky waters of markets and trends. We span the gap, linking people to people, getting results. Maybe that’s why we’re so at home in this many-bridged city. We can’t imagine doing a more important job. Or being in a more important place. Ketchum Advertising. FOUR GATEWAY CENTER, PITTSBURGH, PA 15222 ■A UNIT OF KETCHUM COMMUNICATIONS INC. PEPSI. THG CHOICG OF A NGW GENERATION.

The university was done revising itself and sitting somewhat dormant in lieu of major changes to occur during our centennial in 1987 The plans for drastic policy changes were little more than topics at board meetings and aggression against these changes had just begun. All the activity going on behind closed doors gave us incentive to peer more closely away from Pitt's facade. Our theme is expressed in many different ways throughout the book. Most notably you can sec the Panther on the cover escaping from behind the official university seal into a world that is not-so-official. Our divider pages burst into color with some traditional shots at the university as some nol-so-traditional scenes become visablc from behind. Within the sections themselves, the coverage attempts to take you behind the average to the real. Feature stories take you into the life of some students, each with an exciting twist: to the Pro vost's office for an interview about the 5 year plan; a little insight into what Pitt might expect in the next few years; and a look at some of the individuals who make the Panther proud. All we have tried to accomplish this year could not have been even the least bit imaginable without help. We had. this year, a rather small staff, but the few who were willing to work hopefully can now look at their work with pride, we do. There arc a few people who deserve some special recognition for their assistance was felt the deepest. Mr. David Honnold, our Taylor representative, was most helpful as our design consultant. Because of him, our graphics came to life; not to mention the times he brought us to life with his early morning phone calls. Dearest Flo Walton, also from Taylor, took over appropriately enough, behind the scenes. She also gave us inspiration to be more than creative about deadlines, all the way down to the envelopes. Uncountable thanks to Lynn from Strcm-Vardcn Studios in Pittsburgh for listening to pleas of despair and actually being able to fulfill our needs. Paul Bilgore from Vardens was also rather heroic in his close save in April. Special thanks must go to our friends down the hall at The Pitt News whose work has made the pages of our book more enjoyable with photographs as well as stories. Aside from professional assistance we both have a big thank you for some personal favorites. Mom and Dad. we love you. Ellen, we'll be forever in debt to you for your take charge attitude that got us through those occasional days we broke into fits of procrastination. Jimmy, thanks for support, it's definitely appreciated. And just a little thank you to Ginny for her guard duties. Now that we've thanked our associates we would like to pat them, as well as ourselves, on the back. The Taylor Publishing Company has selected Panther Prints 85 as one of their best university yearbooks. Taylor will be sending samples of this book around the country to other colleges and universities. In addition. Taylor has selected portions of our book to be reproduced in the 1987 Taylor College and University Design Book, a yearbook comprised of the best books they publish. At this time we realize you will not be receiving your book as early as originally expected. We hope the extra time we spent improving the quality of Panther Prints 85 has been worth your wait. The best attribute of a yearbook is that it preserves, for all time, fond memories: only to return them to you when you need them the most, in the future. Enjoy!
