Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five. 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.
