Pitt’s 201st year saw the university move toward the future. One direction was the obvious one of growth in technology. Pitt has become a major research university, ranging from breakthroughs in organ transplants to the opening of UPARC. But the University of Pittsburgh is growing to the future in other ways. Graduates of Pitt’s writing program are gaining prominence in the literary world, as the University of Pittsburgh Press grows in stature. The philosophy department is one of the very best in the country, and the administration is moving to improve undergraduate education. The future was also addressed by the presidential candidates. Economics and social concerns continued to demand attention from the Pitt com- munity. At the same time, student life we on. especially during the first spri break in Pitt’s history. The spoi teams produced some of the best at letes in the country, and the basketh and volleyball teams challenged | the national championship. Now. on the next century. 2 Introduction The New Student Network drew attention to the plight of the homeless by building a shanty on the lawn of the Cathedral of Learning.

The traditional “keg roll” games found winners in teams from Delta Tau Delta and from Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania. Pitt fans were confident the blue and gold would win. but the Pitt schedule makers apparently had not looked into their crystal balls to see that Syracuse would be undefeated coming into Pitt Stadium.

The band led 10 bands and floats, and local sportsman Malcolm Prine was the grand marshal. Pitt boosters sported their own costumes, and panther prints were eve- rywhere. The formal on the Liberty Belle Gateway Clipper was a cruise to remember, and Homecoming king Mike Dorn and queen Lynne Yancich were crowned by President Wesley Posvar. Homecoming 13 Although fashion trends were in flux, the punk look was still the mode of choice for some Pitt and CMU students (above).

Halloween seems to have become a major “party occasion on campus, and a number of students dressed up for the holiday, while others simply celebrated. 14 Fun | Pitt football was back in full force. The defense was unstoppable, the of-ense was psyched, and the Iron City lowed freely at tailgate parties. Like the Pitt football program, tail-jating had a tradition of its own. ’artiers gathered at parking lots hroughout Oakland, with the largest ;rowds near the Syria Mosque. The erious tailgater arrived at 9 a.m. to set ip shop. ! Spirit seemed to be high due to the varm weather and the cold drinks. This year some fans went all out for he tailgate like Tom Conley and Jim Joston. They brought grills and cooked hot dogs. However, they didn’t have the problem of too many cooks Tom’s in charge of the weenies.” said Krista Dunlap. Students Dunlap. Sue Simon and Dave Conley were enjoying the party, but Conley thought the mood was casual. To remedy that. Rob Yarsky led a Pitt cheer. The fans around him responded enthusiastically- To some, attire is more important than what is served at the parties. The fans were decked out in Pitt sweatshirts. hats and jogging pants. Some wore blue and gold in their hair, and few fanatics had painted their faces in usually grumblers, but the grumbling isn't enough to disband the parties. The parking lots grew quiet, as the students departed. The tailgating was over until after the game. And with next week’s home game, the tradition will continue. Suzanne Sabol For The Pitt News the school colors. The tailgaters were friendly with their neighboring partiers. offering drinks to passersby and comparing pregame predictions. “The best part of tailgating is the people you meet,” said freshman Laurie Palumbo. The students reported that even those who had graduated from Pitt come back to tailgate with their friends when the new season started. In spite of the rain showers, tail-gating always continued.

J. Sindler Entertainment 21 S. Markowitz Pitt Students do Daytona When Pitt students arrived in Daytona Beach to celebrate Pitt’s first spring break ever, they were expecting the kind of scene portrayed in every beach party movie. At first, it didn’t look that way. “We get here,” said Paul Acosta, a student from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, “We’re expecting sunshine, beautiful people, and it’s raining and we’re greeted by bikers.” Indeed, dozens of Pitt students, on a trip sponsored by the Pitt Program Council, witnessed a brawl in the middle of Atlantic Avenue among several motorcycle gang members. And that was before the visitors from Pittsburgh had stepped off their buses. Eventually the Pitt students settled into the Clarendon Plaza Hotel, the bikers concluded their Bike Week Festival, the sun came out, and the party began. “I’m here to get hammered,” said a Villanova student. “We’re here for three things,” said a William and Mary College student. “Girls, beer and fun.” All three were present in abundance. There were beer specials, belly flop contests, and wet T-shirt contests. Several women from Pitt competed. One explained, “I don’t regret entering the wet T-shirt contest because it’s spring break, and you’re supposed to be wild — and I’m a senior. I’m glad I didn’t take off my shirt, though.” A number of women did, and a few took off their bikini bottoms, too. Some men applauded, but not all. “I thought it was rather gross,” said Pitt junior Charles Stevenson of those who took it all off. The ones who kept their clothes on had class.” Spring and alcohol contributed to the atmosphere. “The time I had was out of control,” said one Pitt junior. “It’s the best time I’ve had all year.” Crime is not as prevalent as one might think, with most arrests coming for having alcohol in a public area, a crime in Florida. Still, police and security forces are present in force to keep the crowds in line. Most of the visiting Pitt students seemed to agree with sophomore Gil Borok, who said, “Daytona was magic.” (Adapted from Frances Sansig’s story in The Pitt News.)

I began studying around 7 p.m. and finished up around 5 a.m. — a complete wreck. For the first hour of studying. I was comfortably sitting at my desk, reading, underlining. supping some coffee. But within the next few hours. I slowly changed into an alter ego — a pathetic, panic-stricken, frantic psychopath. 1 tried to study a week before the exam, but it just didn’t work. There was always something more immediate that had to be done. I told myself I worked best under pressure and blocked the test out of my mind. It worked for me until midnight, the night before the exam. That's when my nervous breakdown set in. I was reading along, concentrating on the material, when I made the drastic mistake of stopping to check how much more I needed to study. I counted the page numbers, added up my notes, and I foil increasingly nauseous. My notes seemed to be stacked up to the ceiling, and I felt like I was trying to move a building. 1 reached for a cigarette, took a long drag and tried to continue my concentration where I left off in the text book. However, it was never the same. All of a sudden, my reading speed decreased about 50 percent. My eyes wandered back and forth from my book to my reflection in my coffee mug. Five minutes went by be- fore I realized 1 had been staring at the same sentence. The chair felt like a rock, and I began to pace. After a couple strolls around the room. I felt a little calmer and went back to my desk. Most of my concentration returned, and for the next hour. 1 moved steadily from page to page. Around three in the morning, some bizarre thoughts were coming in. I was doing an equation when suddenly 1 thought about Snuggles, the fabric softener bear. Images of Snuggles drifting down in to pile of laundry cheerfully saying. Hi. it's me. Snuggles! played over and over in my brain. 1 rubbed my eyes, massaged my temples, pulled my hair, but I couldn't get Snuggles out of my head. At this point. I was certain I would fail my exam and began to shout out every piece of foul language I could think of about my professor. When I finished my recital of four letter words. I started thinking about taking a vacation. Once my winter vacation was organized. I folt a little more relaxed and decided to resume studying. When the last chapter was done. I dragged myself to the bathroom to brush my teeth before going to bed. I-ooking in the mirror was a disgusting experience. It reminded me of the remake of The Fly. I slept for a couple hours, got up. drank some more coffoc. took the test, in a very shaky frame of mind, and returned homel sleep. A week passed, and I. normal agai checked for my exam grade posted outsjj the classroom. I scanned down the rows of social secu numbers to find my familiar code. 1 got an I stared at my computer-generated for about a minute trying to get some satisfaction from it. After all. I went thr hell to get that A. I was on top of the cl distribution. I should have felt great. It was a letdown. Looking at my score. I v content and relieved, but I didn't feel gw Was I crazy? I thought back on the exam and could oj remember fragments of my answers. All I hi to show for my hardship was a score. But what the hell, that's all I needed fori class. It made the professor happy. What di care? Perhaps I felt cheated. My father once ti me that college is the last opportunity to| everything you always wanted to knj spoon-fed to you. Maybe I lost the hunger to learn. Mayb was content on only achieving what wase peeled of me. Maybe that's why 1 went a lit] crazy the night before my exam.

More than 100 Carnegie-Mellon University students were arrested by authorities after a raid on two CMU fraternities. Yet students continued to use fake IDs to get liquor, and to smuggle it into the dorms. One 20-year-old female student at Pitt said, It’s something to do on the weekends. When you go out on the weekends, you drink, in some cases, because of the frustrations of classes and stress.” (Rich Cholodofsky for the Pitt News.) At right, two students studying at Hillman Library. But in addition to being a place to study, Hillman joined the ”0” as a popular campus meeting spot, especially the ground floor. The ground floor is really social,” said Allan Bell. “The higher up (in the building), the more studying (there is.)” One student said that during finals week the library replaced the bars for socializing because the library was better lit. You can see the people!” (Keri D. Smith for The Pitt News).

Markowitz New and Old Blend In Pitt Cityscape Some of Pitt’s buildings have gone through several configurations, and keeping them up-to-date and in good shape requires constant maintenance (below). This view gives a sample of how the old and new mingle on campus. Moving roughly left to right: Scaife Hall. Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. Benedum Hall, the I.RDC. and Allen Hall. Behind them are Pitt Stadium and Fitzgerald Fieldhousc. with the office lowers of Downtown Pittsburgh in the distance.

However, the dings were still overcrowded, and Alumni Hall was in 1921 to relieve this. Students familiar with ini Hall today would be surprised that it also was n for being overcrowded with lack of room to This influenced the decision to build the Ca-dr.il of Learning in 1926. By the 1950's. the only dings that were part of Pitt's campus were the ledral of Learning. Heinz Chapel, the Stephen Fos-Memorial, the engineering, dental, and medical ol. the stadium, and the gym.

Trees who was a layer on Pitt's baseball team and graduated from chool of Engineering in 1896. Trees provided for the gymnasium, which was originally located ' site of the Veteran's Administration Hospital. In the school decided to provide better facilities and d them closer to the fieldhousc. : Fitzgerald Fieldhouse across the street was built 19. It was called the Pitt Fieldhouse until 1962. it was dedicated to Rufus Harry Fitzgerald. While ■raid was chancellor, the fieldhouse. the nurses' :nce. Clapp Hall. Scaife Hall, the Graduate School )lic Health, the Engineering Hall, and several new ulity classrooms in the Cathedral were being or completed. Although the towers are a source of student complaints, they are a big improvement over the log cabin Pitt started in 200 years ago. You can't miss the stadium right next door to the fieldhouse. Down the street from the stadium is Salk Hall, the Dental School. The Dental School was constantly growing after it became affiliated with the University. At first, this school used an office on Fifth Avenuo to reach local students. Then, when it joined Pitt, it built a building at Thackeray and O'Hara. That wasn't large enough for them, so they took over two othor buildings until they moved to their present location. Catty-comer to Salk is Scaife Hall, a newer medical school building. At this location originally was the Oak Manor estate of Frick Acres. This mansion was used by the Faculty Club in 1920 until it was torn down in 1930. The Faculty Club moved to the 17th floor of the Cathedral and then to its present location on Thackeray, where the Dental School was located, in 1972. Behind Scaife arc the Eye and Far Institute. Presbyterian Hospital. Children's Hospital, and tho Falk Clinic, and next to it is Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. These hospitals were among seven that moved together in 1926 to unify Pitt's School of Medicine. On the other side of Presby is the ix throp dormitory. It was built as the Medical Center Nurses Residence in 1953. though now it is used by Pitt students, regardless of their major. A block down from I-othrop is Forbes Residence Hall. It was converter! into a dorm from the Forbes Pavilion Nursing Home in 1978. Down the street is Litchfield Towers. Pitt's first residence hall for men. The double rooms were designed for the undergrads, and the singles were for graduate students. In March 1961. before the Towers were built. Pitt had a dormitory room mock-up. It arranged three rooms identical to the Tower's structure where five students spent a week testing the design, furniture, storage space, and lighting for its liveability. At that time, plans included a kitchen in every lounge, a snack bar in the main lobby, and partitioned space for a radio room, photography darkroom, a do-it-yourself room, and a ping-pong room. Each Tower also had a sundcck on the roof. The Scheniey Quad dorms used to be apartments. They were sold to Pitt in 1955 along with the Scheniey Hotel in 1955. which was the tallest steel highrise when it was built in 1898. The hotel was used as the girls' dormitory until the apartments were converted. The first two floors of the hotel became the union, and in the 1960's the rest of the building became university offices. Across Forbes Avenue where Hillman Library and Forbes Guad stand was the location of Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates for 61 years. On your tour, you can show your parents the left field wall by Mervis Hall and the home plate preserved on the first floor of Forbes Quad. Mervis Hall has the most recent classrooms built. This building houses the Graduate School of business. It was located in Thackeray Hall where the Mervis Insurance Company operated, but the Mervis family provided money to purchase the newer building. Farther up the road is the Frick Fine Arts building. Helen Clay Frick, the chief benefactor of Pitt's art department since 1927. dedicated the building to her father in 1965. A controversy developed here that cost the University $1,000,000 in artworks. Miss Frick expected this building to be a museum with a few classes in the fine arts. Sho complained that too many history and language classes were being held, crowding out music and arts. She also was distressed that Pitt started displaying contemporary art pieces in this building. Frick wanted control of hiring, firing, programs, and the building security to remedy this, but Pitt said no. believing that giving her control would damage its integrity. Frick sued and did not give the University the rest of her collection. Another fine art was displayed across the parking lot. In 1927 the Tuesday Musical Club planned the idea for a Stophcn Foster Memorial. It housed the musical organizations and the dramatics club around 1937. Heinz Chapel was built across the lawn at the same time in memory of Henry |. Heinz and his mother. Across the street is Mellon Institute It is no longer pari of Pitt's campus, but it used to offer fellowships to Pitt students to research industrial problems. Near the Institute is the Music Building. This used to be the location of VVQED-TV. where Mister Roger's Neighborhood was first broadcast. It is next to Clapp Hall, the natural science building. George Hubbard Clapp gave Pitt the Early American classroom and the iron gates of the Commons Room in the Cathedral. Behind Clapp Hall a tragic event occurred On |an-uary 20. 1977 Langley Hall had an explosion that killed one person and seriously injured many others. An old gas pipe underground rotted, and the building was flattened. After Langley Hall, the only building that really needs to be shown is the Cathedral of Learning. Quo Vadis can tell your parents more about that building because it has a history all its own. Buildings 33 S.

The statue was restored by Eleftherios Karkadoulias in Cincinnati. The bronze statue of the Greek god: and a woman was designed by David Brenner, whose portrait of Abraham Lincoln is reproduced or. penny. Originally four bronze turtles surrounded the sculptures. However, three were stolen, and the fourth' removed to preserve it. The statue is a memorial to Mary Schenley. who in 1889 donated the land for the park bearing her nair; national competition selected Brenner, and the statue was dedicated in 1918.

Markowitz Speakers uphold rights Human rights — for consumers, for crime victims, for racial and ethnic minorities — was a central topic at Pitt this year. Consumer activist Ralph Nader (above, left) told law students that as lawyers they ought to work for justice and for consumers. He also blasted the Federal Communications Commission. Pittsburgh native and poet Lamont Steptoe (above, right) dedicated his speech at the Pittsburgh Poetry Festival on International Human Rights Day to the late novelist James Baldwin.

President Reagan’s next nominee, Judge Douglas Ginsberg, also failed when it was discovered that as an adult he had smoked marijuana. Judge Anthony Kennedy finally succeeded in winning confirmation. Politics 41 Pitt divests, ending controversy On July 1, 1987, Pitt's board of trustees voted 16-0 to divest from South Africa, quelling a ten-year dispute with local groups opposing apartheid. Pitt President Wesley Posvar (above) called the action a “meaningful” public statement on the policies of South Africa’s government. The university’s resolution reportedly said in part, “The university has adopted an increasingly rigorous policy toward investment in stocks of American companies operating in South Africa .. Posvar added that the university’s position was “unswervingly anti-apartheid.” In an interview with The Pitt News, Posvar said “It was not really feasible any more to think of large numbers of American corporations working in concert in South Africa effectively against apartheid. Their position had eroded so much that the symbolic value and the solidarity of opposition to apartheid through this symbolic act became of paramount importance. He added that “The last thing we want is to leave the impression that we no longer care and that we have turned our back on the problem of South Africa. Posvar said the university still applauds efforts to grant equal rights to workers, and the university also supports improving education in South Africa as a means of easing racial conflict there. The Black Action Society and Pitt’s Students for a F’ree South Africa had in the fall of 1986 erected shanties on the lawn of the William Pitt Union, the cent- er of student activities. Manned day and night, the shanties were abandoned with the onset of cold weather. The protesters wanted the university to divest faster; university officials responded that the university was moving rapidly, and was still holding out some hope that American corporations could influence apartheid. Dennis Brutus, chairman of the Black Studies Department, said in a May protest meeting on the Pitt campus, “We are here to remind people on this campus (that) people are dying in South Africa. As long as we are invested in South Africa, we are involved in the killings. This university will not lose any money by getting out of racism. Black Monday The New York Stock Exchange was the scene of panic selling on October 19, when the market suffered its biggest loss ever.

The group directed Kinnon Scott and Reading, and assisted Monica Perz, students from various majors: Denise Drake (Business and Spanish Carol French (Education); Charles Gabbard (Economics a: Spanish); Karyn Green (International Business Jane Hudson (Political Science); Ann Jensen (Education and Spanisl Laura Keene (Spanish) Karl Malkin (Account [University of Pittsburs at Johnstown]); Elizabt Mesa (Studio Arts); lac Paulston (English Writing); Andrew Roc: (Economics); Leonard( Sekelick (Spanish); Jut Valeriano (Spanish); ar Polly Zerfoss (Social Work). Each of the students lived with a host family while in Cuenca and was encouraged to interact as much as possible; in addition to the proposed research. participation in Ecuadorean daily life was a major goal of the field trip. Speaking from personal experience, strong attachments to family members and friends formed easily and quite rapidly. In fact, it was difficult for many of the students to leave their host families when the time arrived to visit the capital, Quito, during the last week of the trip. These bonds number among the strongest that some of the students have ever made. 52 Ecuador Trip Excitement Challenge U nderstanding -Accomplishment Discovery Opportunity Remembrance Living with a family in a foreign country offers one an environment of personal and academic growth: Excitement; Challenge; Understanding; Accomplishment; Discovery; Opportunity; and Remembrance.

Cultural groups choose to expnr their heritage in the national roor because it’s an educational setting: serves an instructional purpose. Th-are classrooms that teach. Also, tk rooms are virtually guaranteed to ex. for many generations to come.

Katz to President Wesley Posvar. (Photos courtesy Pitt Magazine.) Other ethnic groups are also developing classrooms to reflect their heritages. The Armenian room was scheduled for completion in 1988. It will be a first for the Cathedral: it is patterned after an actual room, the library in an eleventh-century Armenian monastery. The African Heritage room was boosted in 1988 when Ghana’s U.N. ambassador spoke at a fund-raiser: the room is scheduled to be finished by the end of 1988. A Ukrainian room will feature traditional wood paneling, and plans are being laid for an Austrian Room. (Adapted from an article by Mary Ann Thomas in Pitt Magazine.)

This vision is a dream of Provost Rudolph H. Weingartner. who. in his first year at Pitt, launched a comprehensive review of the curriculum, meant to lead to radically new ways of teaching undergraduates, and making teaching as important as research. All this “is easier said than done,” Weingartner admitted. But as national debate on education grows more intense. in books such as The Closing of the American Mind, so too is education at Pitt undergoing closer scrutiny. But there simply is no quick fix,” he added. Surveying the vast range of knowledge demanded in an increasingly complex society, he pointed out that an ideal education “would take The opening of the Pitt mind two-and-a-half lifetimes to master.” We have to make choices.” he said. This year working groups launched by Weingartner have tackled these issues head-on, and what they learn may vastly change learning at Pitt.

It is now ranked among the top scholarly publishers in the country. Consider: — In poetry the Press is ranked the best of American academic publishers, second behind Antheneum among all American publishers. — The Press has established its excellence with works on Latin America, descriptive bibliography, social and labor history, Russia and East Europe, Milton, and policy and institutional studies. — The growing stature of winners of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize for short fiction. According to its director, Frederick A. Hetzel. the Press’s goals are more important than ever. What is the point, he asks, in supporting research if the findings are unavailable to the people who need them?” The Press has stepped in to publish quality books that once would have been published by commercial houses that now concentrate on blockbusters. An example is And the Wolf Finally Came, John Hoerr’s study of the decline of the steel industry. This goes for poetry and fiction, too. “Too many commercial publishers have dropped out of publishing fine fiction. It only seems natural that university presses should take up the slack.” Hetzel says. The Press’s impact is growing, said William Lafe, formerly chief endowment officer of the Howard Heinz Endowment and the Pittsburgh Foundation. Call it intellectual cachet, call it the necessary outpost of a major university, call it a barometer for measuring the literary output of our city — call it any of these things and more, the University of Pittsburgh press is a vital and critical element in Pittsburgh’s struggle for future growth.” (Tommy Ehrbar for Pitt Magazine.

Kimberly Pasko Photo Perot lambastes corporate complacency America needs leaders who are “willing to get down in the pits and slug it out.” said Ross Perot (above) in a speech at the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business. The country may be ailing, he said, and although We haven’t had the ‘heart attack’ yet, unless something is done to solve basic business problems. “This country could be in deep, deep trouble. He praised the students at the business school, which was renamed after the Pitt alumnus who founded Papercraft, Inc. “If you go back through his life.” Perot said of Katz, “he was living with the customer. he’s still living with the customer. And if I could wish for one thing in this great country it would be for the people who run our large companies to go find out what the customer wants.” Perot has followed his own advice. He founded Electronic Data Systems in 1962, then sold it to General Motors. He’s known for his pungent opinions, and. typically, in his Pitt speech Perot did not pull his punches. “We are soft, he said. “We are lazy. We are doing a lousy job of passing a better life on to the next generation, and I’m sure that’s a big part of what motivated Joe Katz to make his gift ... We lost our position as the world’s leading exporter. He concluded: Never forget that a handful of people can restore American competitiveness. That group’s here in this business school today. These are the young people who can determine the future.” (This feature was adapted from a story by Jill E.

U-PARC (University of Pittsburgh Applied Research Center) formerly was the Gulf R D center in Harmarville. By late 1987. U-PARC was home to more than 55 companies and spawned more than 500 jobs. More than a hundred high-tech. light manufacturing, research and corporate companies are expected to employ 2.000 persons by the early 1990s. Chevron acquired the Harmarville center following its merger with Gulf in 1985. and donated it to Pitt in 1986. in one of the largest corporate gifts to a university ever. The Harmarville facility has been known for decades for its research. Its new functions will add a few twists. The unique aspect of U-PARC is that a variety of companies can call this home.” says Henry A. LaRue. president of Pittsburgh Applied Research Corp., a for-profit subsidiary of the University of Pittsburgh Trust that operates the center. At U-PARC companies will not only find office space, but will be able to lease or purchase on-site lab equipment. research resources, and support services. This will make it easier for small and new companies that often find themselves struggling to find cash. “U-PARC serves as a bridge between advanced technology and heavy industry.” he says. For example. the center can meet the needs of a company developing bacterial vaccines and provide the computerized equipment and test bays for a major automotive company devising new emission control systems.” The mix of corporate and academic resources produces a synergy of new ideas and enterprises, and as a bonus spawns new service businesses tending to the high-tech businesses there. Though U-PARC is clearly unique, it remains a model for the rest of the American economy. (Adapted from Jill E. Shafer’s story in Pill Magazine. Photo courtesy of Pitt Magazine.) U-PARC 63 Joni Evans, at Random A Pitt grad, class of ’63, is now one of the most powerful book publishers in America, Pitt graduate Joni Evans (above) now occupies the seat once held by Bennett Cerf — publisher of Random House. And site did it the hard way: She earned it. Nikita Khrushchev visited Pitt about the same time Ms. Evans — then Joni Goldfinger from Larchmont, N.Y. — arrived to work out a life in literature. She studied with Montgomery Culver in Pitt’s Writing Program when he was the program. ‘‘He was marvelous.” Evans recalls. ‘‘It was a wonderful education. It was there that I realized I was fascinated with literature, by reading, by the history of literature. Most important, though, I learned that I was not as good as a front writer. He read mv manuscripts in class. He let me know that I had talent, that I was good, but I wasn’t that good.” She added. “I also learned the difference between great writing and OK writing, and that was when I made the decision that 1 wanted to be around writing more than anything else.” Graduating in 1963, she went to New York City, and got a job as secretary to the editor of McCall's magazine. Hers is another classic literary story: that of the novice editor who starts reading the ‘‘slush pile” of unsolicited manuscripts. and works her way up the literary ladder. She displayed a talent for finding and nurturing best-sellers at William Morrow publishers, then for making subsidiary rights sales at Simon Schuster, then having her own imprint with Simon Schuster. She was named president of Simon Schuster, then joined Random House, where, after a corporate shuffle, she was named publisher. Supervising literary superstars such as James Michener and Norman Mailer, plus finding writers of the future, still boils down to findings good story, Ms. Evans says. And quality books are thriving as never before. For the first time, you’re seeing Margaret Atwood, Anita Brookner. John Irving. Toni Morrison — real artists — finding a big audience, finding a mass audience. Look at Tom Wolfe, a great example (with The Bonfire of the Vanities). The fact that these kind of writers can break through, sometimes to the number-one spot on the best-seller lists, shows that this country cares about having a good reading experience, cares about quality fiction.” (Adapted from an article by Tim Ziaukas in Pitt Magazine.

I asked somebody where the campus radio station was and they looked at me like. 'Huh? I've never heard of such a thing’. Cronauer and some friends convinced student government to give them S200 for a transmitter, and WPGH took to the air. Later. Cronauer joined the Air Force, and with his broadcasting experience he became a disc jockey, winding up in Saigon as a DJ for Armed Forces Radio at the height of the Vietnam War. In 1979. Cronauer and a friend wrote a TV treatment of his adventures, and after many rewrites and changes, it became “Good Morning. Vietnam.” starring Robin Williams. However. If I had done everything that Robin Williams does in the film. I would have been court-martialed and I’d still be in Leavenworth.” Cronauer said, in a visit to the up-to-date studio for WPTS. The movie’s depiction of military censorship is closer to the mark, he said. Everything had to be cleared with the information officer from (General William) Westmoreland’s headquarters in Saigon, which meant that nothing of any news value could be read over the air. Now a law student at the University of Pennsylvania, he added. I’ve got to tell you that some of the scenes in the movie brought back memories a little more vividly than I cared to remember.” (This feature adapted from R. Todd Erkel’s article in Pitt Magazine.

Kuntu honors Wilson As the prestige of playwright August Wilson continued to grow, the Kuntu Repertory Theatre honored the Pittsburgh native with a presentation of his award-winning play Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Ma Rainey was directed by Dr. Vernell Lillie, founder of Kuntu Repertory Theatre. The Kuntu Writer's Workshop was founded by Wilson and by Rob Penny, the current playwright-in-residence at Kuntu. The workshop and the theater group are separate, but both operate under the Black Studies Department at Pitt. Kuntu” is one aspect of an African world-view in which there is no art for art’s sake. To simplify. in this philosophy art ties in with the community’s overall aims and goals; art is not seen as something alien to the community, but part of the community. Since its conception in 1974. the Kuntu Repertory Theatre has raised social consciousness about black history through drama. Other plays scheduled for the 1987-88 season included The Dilemma of a Ghost and A Love Celebration: The Ebony Man and Mahogany Woman. (Lorey Kelley in The Pitt News.) August Wilson 65 See the world to find yourself by Deborah Kaufman Some may find it strange that in an issue devoted to welcoming freshmen. I'm making a plug for leaving the university. I’m not talking about renouncing this bastion of higher education. I am advocating a temporary leave-of-absence in the shape of study abroad. I remember with a startling clarity the feelings I had after I stepped off the fourth and final plane that carried me the last leg of my trip to France — I felt. God forbid, like a freshman The journey began in early January. In fact, my stomach hadn’t yet recovered from a New Year’s Fve party, which had turned into an emotional farewell to all my friends. It wasn’t until later that I realized my nerves had a lot to do with that upset stomach. (Denial is one of my strongest defenses sometimes. I had convinced myself that 1 would take to foreign travel like a yuppie to Perrier. Leaving my home would be the proverbial piece of cake.) I learned a lot about transcontinental travel in the 48 hours it took me to get from Pittsburgh to Cannes. It was seven airports and five countries from start to finish and. almost needless to say. my luggage took a detour along the way. It was a full week later before it caught up to me ... just when I had gotten used to the idea of buying a new wardrobe in France. After a month-long orientation period on the Riviera. I was off to Paris. All the cliched school-girl fantasies were with me on that north-bound train. There are honestly no words to describe how I felt that night as I traversed the City of Light in a taxi bound for my family’s” apartment. I’m sure the driver got a chuckle out of my attempts to comment on the sights en francais as we crossed the most scenic parts of the city. I was one of the luckier students when it came to living arrangements. Students studying abroad sometimes board with families, often single parents. widows or older couples whose children have left home. My family, though, was complete with two older children — warm and welcoming, considerate and sometimes concerned. The Ferals were also noble, as in royally descended. That fact allowed me to experience things that the typical foreign student doesn’t: I traveled to their country chateau (15 bedrooms) for a weekend. 1 hobnobbed with colonels, generals and higher-ups in the Ministry of Defense and. the piece de resistance. I met President Mit-terand at an awards ceremony where Monsieur Feral received the National Order of Merit. Besides those events that caused me to write home with more school-girl enthusiasm. I experienced the day-to-day life of another culture. It was simply living in that foreign environment that left such an impression on an impressionable mind, even more so than the many memorable events that highlighted my trip. And there were so many of those memorable events. I probably chose one of the worst times to study abroad. The value of the dollar was at a new low; international terrorism and anti-American sentiment reached new heights. But that was half the fun. (My mother loses sleep when I say things like that.) I got to dodge bombs, meet Libyans, travel to the Soviet Union — all the things a semester abroad should include. In my opinion, there is simply no better way to study abroad. Yes. you learn the obvious: a foreign language, foreign customs, international etiquette. But more than that, you discover parts of yourself that were perhaps hidden under the cloak of familiarity. The time I spent in France was a turning point for me. It was the first time in my life that I was able to truly be myself. Before I left everything and everyone behind. 1 had always been defined by those things and those people — my parent’s daughter, a Pitt student, a business major, my boyfriend’s girlfriend, my siblings’ sister. There were a number of different roles, but I was always me in relation to something else. Going away from all of that let me define who I was on my own terms. In many ways, it was a lot like my freshman year all over again. Although people would have you believe that being a freshman is the lowest pursuit, it allows you certain inalienable rights: the right to experience for the first time. Going away is something everyone should do — even if you aren’t a language major. There are experiences for everyone; sights, tastes (be courageous — everyone should try tripe at least once), sounds, smells (avoid small, enclosed, populated areas, and keep an open mind, not an open nose), feelings. What you can get out of it is a lot more than proficiency in a language. For The Pitt News 66 Deborah Kaufman Semester at Sea brings world to students by Kerri Hamilton A Semester at Sea is more than just another semester of college. It’s an opportunity for students to get hands-on experience with the problems, the people, the culture and the issues of the world. The voyage around the world takes place on a ship called the S.S. Universe. It’s an 18.000 ton. floating university. The ship is complete with everything from classrooms, library, bookstore and student union to a dining room, a hospital and several sport facilities including a swimming pool and volleyball court. Semester at Sea is offered twice a year: during the fall term from September through December and the spring term from January until May. While at sea. the student will spent 50 percent of his or her time on board the ship and the other 50 percent in the countries of call. Port calls range from 3 to 7 days. They give the student the opportunity to explore the country. The complete voyage takes students to 10 countries, including Spain, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union. Turkey. India and Malaysia. The academic program on board is based on the University of Pittsburgh’s curriculum. The credits earned while on board the ship will be put on the student’s permanent record and will be applied toward graduation. The classes meet every day except Sunday. The courses that the student take on board help them to become both personally and academically ready to explore each new culture as the ship moves from one country to the next. “The benefits of taking a Semester at Sea are numerous. The student gains a sense of global interdependence,” according to Dr. Angie Yucas. director of the Study Abroad Office at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Yucas said she believes that the student receives great personal benefits from taking this trip — they become more self-sufficient. and it really helps to develop their interpersonal skills. “Those who participate on this voyage get exposed to so much. They see how countries have military impact on one another. They see firsthand what Third World countries are all about. They uncover so much about the world in such a short period of time that many students think of their experience at sea for many years to come.” said Yucas. The courses offered on the ship are carefully chosen to help enhance the student's learning experience. The core course is especially designed to intensify the awareness of the student to the world, and its many different cultures and beliefs. The core course is required of all students because it is vital that they gain an understanding of the complexity of the world, according to the guidelines of the program. As well as taking the core course, students have a wide range of other classes offered from which to choose. They offer anthropology, biological sciences, business, including several international business classes, communications and economics, as well as fine arts, geography, geology. history and literature. In addition, they also offer psychology. religious studies, sociology and theater arts. Us curriculum is steered toward those individuals who are interested in any international field. It’s for anyone who wants to become a more well-rounded person, said Yucas. While on board, the students can take part in various clubs or organizations such as Students of Service. Ambassador’s Student Council. Choir. Drama Club, the student newspaper The Helm and the student yearbook. The Aft. There are social activities such as dances, musical programs and fundraising events that are organized for international projects. There’s always something going on. Sometimes there is too much to do and not enough time to do it all.” said Chris Smerdel. a Pitt student who took the trip spring term 1987. A lot of students really got into working out. This program has so much to offer.” said Smerdel. Semester at Sea is a once in a lifetime event. “What appealed to me most was the different countries we were exposed to. There was so much variety. The thought of it really gets my blood pumping. said Smerdel. To be eligible for this voyage. students must have a cumulative CPA of 2.5 or better. Although students with a GPA of 2.0 and 2.5 will be reviewed on an individual basis, admission will be based upon each student’s status. The cost of the trip is higher than that of typical semester. It ranges from $8,109 to $9,675 depending on accommodations. Very few students who take this trip are concerned with the cost,” said Yucas. Financial aid is available for those with financial need. The University Center for International Studies grants three scholarships to students who carry a 3.0 or better and who demonstrate financial need and can justify relevance to both academic and career goals. For The Pitt News Kerri Hamilton 67 “A TA You Would Like” byjustin lauhead X|ow many times have you entered a classroom and instantly became intimidated by the atmosphere? The class size, a distant professor, and the infrequency of classes tend to alienate teacher and pupil. A political science TA tears down this barrier and turns it into an educational opportunity. Ellen Dorsey, a Pitt graduate and political science TA, does this job well. Ellen worked together with professor C. S. Gochman on a 1988 winter term World Politics course. Her responsibilities included: teaching a recitation section, creating paper and test questions, and grading assignments. “A TA has to explain and expand on lecture material in a clear and coherent way,” said Ellen. But she has to conquer many problems when doing her job. One difficulty is not letting her own opinions interfere with the professor’s interpretation. “The TA’s job is to enhance the professor’s interpretation of the material,” explained Ellen. “My own separate opinions intermixed with professor Gochman’s approach would only confuse the students.” Ellen will use her own ap- proach to world politics when she teaches the course in the summer. But TA’s are a new phenomenon to the political science department. The Pitt administration is conducting an experiment to see whether students react better in a small class with one teacher or in a large class with recitation sections. But this experiment also creates problems for the learning process. The new large class structure makes it difficult for TA’s to teach their sections. ‘TA’s have to adapt on the run,” explained professor Gochman. Since the class only meets twice a week, the professor does not possess much flexibility when teaching the class. He has to quickly know whether or not the students are understanding the material. “Ellen has to gather student responses about class lectures,” said professor Gochman. “She is an important factor in eliminating the distances between the professor and the students.” This new relationship creates some advantages and disadvantages for Ellen. The obvious disadvantage is the heavy workload. But the TA position offers some rewards for Ms. Dorsey. Her working relationship with the professor and students is a training ground for future teachers. Ellen’s success as a TA has impressed professor Gochman. The judgments she has made when creating papers and tests have shown the abilities of a future professor. “When considering a person’s educational future, you have to cite a distinction between teaching and research,” explained the professor. According to Gochman, Ellen has the personality of a teacher. “She is outgoing and a political activist,” said professor Gochman, “These are personal qualities of a person who wants to present her knowledge to students.” Ellen also wants to fulfill her teaching responsibilities. “If I didn’t help the students, I would quit at once,” said Ellen. Ellen will have a chance to complete this objective when she teaches her own world politics course in the summer. Pitt undergrads are smart kids,” said Ellen. “Some just have inferiority complexes that keep them from participating.” Her job is to get past this shield and work with the students toward achieving a better understanding of the subject. 68 Theology Studies Philosophy Dept, among the best. 'J'he Greek philosopher Aristotle would have been proud. Despite a decline in interest in the humanities since the 70s, the philosophy department at Pitt has managed to survive and even thrive. Many people may not realize it, but located in the Cathedral of Learning is one of the most distinguished departments at Pitt. The philosophy department is recognized as one of the most outstanding in the country. As a matter of fact, the department was named the second best, behind Princeton, ahead of Harvard, in a ranking chart by Time magazine in 1983 and has since topped charts and surveys as one of the best schools. Dr. Joseph L. Camp, chairman of the department, said, “The department was brought to its present state by a group of faculty who came to Pitt in the early 1960s. They consisted of Nicholas Rescher, who is a university professor of philosophy and pres- ent director for the Center of Philosophy of Science; Adolf Gruenbaum, who is a Mellon professor of philosophy; Kurt Baier, distinguished professor of philosophy, and Wilfred Sellars, university professor of philosophy.” “They brought in several other outstanding philosophers over the ensuing years. At the same time, the department recruited a large number of very promising junior faculty members who were subsequently promoted to tenure rank, and the department was gradually built up,” said Camp. Rescher and his colleagues believed then that there was still room in American philosophy for another department. They began with a department for the philosophy of science and gradually built it up. The department sponsors a number of programs. A series of lectures is conducted every year at Pitt by leading philosophers. A large number of visiting fellows come from all over the world to give these lectures. There are normally 10 to 20 lectures and conferences each month. The presence of both the philosophy department and the department of history and philosophy of science has made Pitt an attractive place for graduate students in the department, the majority working toward their Ph.D. Virtually all the graduate students come from out of state, some as far as Australia. “These students are very gifted. Entrance is extremely competitive, and only 5 percent or fewer are accepted,” said Camp. The graduate program at Pitt is mainly geared toward educating future professors. Those receiving Ph.D. from the department have traditionally gone on to become faculty.

If you were to take every single book from the Hillman Library and set them side by side they would extend from the front steps of the Library to the front steps of the White House in Washington, D.C. — 236 miles of books. Now imagine a freshman trying to walk from here to the White House, without a map. When it comes to finding what you need in the library, it’s tough. Especially for freshmen. Unfortunately I, too, have been labeled “freshman,” and as all freshmen know, we hate to look stupid. So, as we walk into Hillman Library, we just pray to God we find what we are in search of. Of course, there is a library guide somewhere. But you need a guide to find the guide — that’s efficiency for you. Rule one of the library states, “Ask for help.” Rule one of the “How not to act like a freshman” handbook states, “Never ask for help.” Rule two of the library guide states, “Take a tour.” Rule two of the freshman handbook states. “Take a look at those who take the tours.” Back to square one, as far as being hip goes. Then there are the micro-fiche. I still haven’t figured out how people can read such a small printing. I prefer tuna-fiche. Pittcat. Now there is something great, just enter your subject, and you get a title and location. Easy? I’m a freshman. Nothing’s easy. The hunt begins. I travel through a maze of 15-foot-high book shelves, in search of a book entitled “The Bush Man of Kenya.” I mumble a couple of profanities. The eyes of everyone there focus on me. The whispers flow throughout the library. I hear “Freshmen! They should be shot!” from two blond female students. I give them an injured-dog look, but they show no sympathy. There is no sympathy for the lost freshman. I’m sure “The Bush Man of Kenya” would have an easier time finding a book here than I would have. I say to myself, “Swallow your pride. Ask for help.” Never!

Craig Heyward, at 260-some pounds, was strong enough to blast up the middle, yet agile enough to hurdle tacklers in the open field. After the season, although he was only a junior, he sought to turn pro, and after some controversy, was drafted by the New Orleans Saints. In the 1987 season, junior guard Mark Stepnoski was recognized as one of the very best offensive linemen in the college game, and was expected to be a linchpin of the offense in the 1988 season. 112 Football Tight end Eric Seaman (86. above) takes some abuse as he catches the ball.

A winning season, a bowl game, and the signing of a stellar freshman squad all boosted the hopes of Panther fans. In April. Athletic Director Ed Bozik signed Gottfried to what was reported to be a lifetime contract. The contract was meant to give Gottfried the stature and the stability held by the coaches at the football powerhouses. Gottfried returned the favor by donating $50,000 toward the construction of a new indoor sports facility. The contract was not something he sought. “The university and Dr. Bozik had mentioned it to me. and of course I was honored that they would even consider that, and I thought about it for a long time before I actually did anything on it ... That was a big decision, because I've always had a goal to coach in the pros, and I’ve always had a goal of winning a national championship. So. you can't just one day ... say. ‘I want to do this and do that.’ A lot of thought went into it.” His reign is not untroubled, however. He lashed out at agents, calling them “vultures.” and the decision of Graig Heyward to turn pro after his junior year cost the Panthers an All-American running back. “I think the NCAA, the coaches, the athletic directors, the NFL and the (football players’) union ought to get all together and say. if somebody adopts and deals with the player early, that they cannot negotiate the contract with the player.” Gottfried said. Gottfried’s wife. Mickey. and his daughters. Mindy and Marcy, have made a successful transition to living in Pittsburgh. “I’m from Ohio,” Gottfried said, “about three and a half hours from here, so I’ve always known about Pittsburgh. I coached in Youngstown — high school ball — when Johnny Majors was coaching here in 1976. so I followed the program. Always when I was growing up. I heard of the Pitt teams and the tradition and so forth, and of course, the city. I love the city.” Tin- Pitt soccer team finished its season with a 4-0 win at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. but this victory still didn’t dispel the bad taste of a disappointing 4-10-1 season. “I think by going on the last game, the team finished well.” said Pitt head coach Joe Luxbacher. “The thing was, all year we had a lot of chances. With the exception of Seton Hall, we were in every game. We just kept on finding ways not to win. F.ven though the team is losing three of its best players | Dave Moss, Mike Grimes and Kurt Weber), Luxbacher still sees a good nucleus returning. The key is that everybody has to work. The emphasis is on the players. said Luxbacher. To compete at this level, players have to improve in the off season, not during the season. A big example of this is F.rim Gude. Last year. Gude led the team in scoring with sixteen points. This year, he could only manage one goal in limited playing time. “Erim came in out of shape.” said Luxbacher. He is a very intelligent player, but he lost a step during the offseason. On tfiis level of play, one step can make a big dif ference.” The Panthers lost a total of seven games this year by one goal, two of those came in overtime. In the three other defeats, Pitt was beaten by Seton Hall 7-0, West Virginia 2-0, and Bucknell ■lARSHALLCLAgj; 120 Soccer he'll lx- back. Basically, we need everybody lo impro e during the off season. They can't level off. If some of the returners don't work, they shouldn't even come out for the team. I can tell you right now that they won't make it. You can't Ik- a part-time player. ' Another key next year will lx the goalkeeper. This year, lime was split between Mark Hendricks and Jay Kapusta. Both played well at times but also rnade some mental mistakes that cost the team games. All year. I was looking for one of them to lake charge — neither did. said Luxbacher. “All of our goalkeepers have the skills, but they have lo work. “The best game we played was the last one, said Luxbacher. “For the simple reason that we finished our chances. We put the ball into the net. The thing was that we played (well) in just about every game. We had the chances but just couldn't capitalize on them.” “We had enough chances at the beginning of the Ohio State game to blow them out; instead, we lost in overtime |2-1),” said Luxbacher. We out shot Seton Hall 26-5. (We) did everything but win the game. “This year was a lot different than others. In the three years that 1 have been here, we would win the tight games. This year we couldn’t do it. It eventually began to wear on you. The players couldn’t help but expect to lose. Pitt was led in scoring this year by Dave Moss with eight goals, while Mike Grimes had six. “Probably the biggest thing that hurt us this year was the loss of Sam Lanza.” said Luxbacher. He hurt his ankle in the first game and was lost for the rest of the year. He would have really helped our offense.” With most of trie team returning next year, Luxbacher hopes the team will make a better showing. Brian Hammond has been a two-year starter, and I look for him to be strong next year, said Luxbacher. “Jon Ascher played JON WELLS up soccer season Close losses sum Going into this season. Luxbacher was looking for some offensive help. Next year, it will Ik; the same. “The loss of Sam [Lanza] hurt us a lot, said Luxbacher. “Sam was the best finisher going into the season. Our other offensive players are good, but they arc more set-up players. Sam is a finisher.” “Another problem was that we had to play a few players out of position, Luxbacher added. “John Osbcrg never played in the back before. He made some mistakes, but as he learns the position, he’ll get better. 122 Soccer MARSHALL CLARK This was an up and down season for •he Panthers. They won three of the hfst four games and couldn't pull off another one until the end. Although •hey finished well below .500, with a few breaks, they could have done much better.

Smith, Lane lead Panther season The basketball team was among the best in the country, flirting with the No. 1 ranking, as several freshman came in and showed poise in playing with some of the top players in the country: Charles Smith, Jerome Lane and Demetreus Gore. However, the Final Four bid ended with an upset loss to underdog Vanderbilt in the NCAA championship. Smith had an outstanding season, passing Clyde Vaughn to become Pitt’s all-time leading scorer, with a record of 2.033 points. His senior leadership was evident throughout the season. As one of the top centers in the country. Smith was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. Forward Jerome Lane continued to be one of the best rebounders in the nation, and seemed to have his best games against the toughest opponents. Lane contributed to perhaps the most memorable moment on the court this year for the J’anthers. Playing Providence in the Fitzgerald Fieldhouse. on a fast break l.ane took a pass, soared for a dunk, and slammed the ball in with such force that the backboard shattered. That testimony to his power will remain in Panther highlight films for years to come. Lane, like football’s Craig Heyward, elected to end his college career and turn pro. Gore played forward with the same verve he displayed throughout his college career, and played despite some nagging injuries. The biggest surprise was the play of the freshmen. Despite playing under pressure, and facing a tough schedule, the freshmen played with exceptional poise. Point guard, sometimes called the '’quarterback' of the team, is often supposed to be too demanding for freshmen. But Freshman Sean Miller did an outstanding job. His ball-handling and passing skills were all that fans expected from a player who is nationally-known for those skills. But his leadership and accuracy with the 3-point shot also were important. Darelle Porter also stepped in at guard, and as a freshman showed outstanding talent and composure in facing some of the best guards in the country. Freshman forward Bobby Martin also had the ability to come in off the bench and contribute. The Panthers won their first ever Big East championship, and ended with a 23-6 overall record. At the end of the season, however, the Panthers ran into the Killer V's.” as Villanova beat Pitt in the Big East and Villanova knocked the Panthers out of the NCAAs. 124 Keystones of the team included Bobby Martins inside play (left). Jerome Lane's rebounding (upper right), and Dometreus Gore's moves to the hoop. 125 126 All-Americans Jerome Lane (34) displays his power. Charles Smith (32) displays his quickness. Freshman guards Sean Miller (3). Darelle Porter (20) and Jason Matthews (22) displayed poise beyond their years. Playing hard, playing tough The basketball team at times seemed headed fora national championship; at other times it struggled. Pitt's two stars sometimes were criticized for not trying hard enough. Jerome Lane certainly was trying hard when he shattered the back-board on a dunk against Providence (above). And those who said that Charles Smith didn’t play tough never saw him up close (opposite page). Still, there were moments when Coach Paul Evans (right) displayed his frustration with a team that was loaded with talent. but fell short in the NCAAs. 128 130 Lady Panthers begin the long road back The Lady Panthers took a step up after two poor seasons by finishing 14-15. an improvement over last year, and for the first time since 1984-1985, escaped the Big East cellar, finishing seventh. Looking back on the year, head coach Kirk Bruce and assistant coaches Kim Basick and Lisa Faloon cannot be anything but pleased. Bruce said his goals were, “Playing hard, practicing hard, keeping a good attitude, and improving every day. Those were the things that we preached to them in the preseason, and I think it came to pass in the season.” The Lady Panthers lost three players from the previous year. Bruce commented that, “Any time you lose that many seniors, as far as the leadership department goes, it’s going to be tough to replace those kids.” The performance of the returning and new players passed the test. Pitt won six of its first eight games, losing only to nationally-ranked Notre Dame and Penn State. The Nittany Lions won by two points, and Bruce said, The Penn State game was one game we should have won.” After a 71-64 road win against Youngstown State, the team lost seven straight, a club record. But a road win against the Seton Hall Pirates, 85-79 showed the caliber of play the Lady Panthers could reach. In that game, Freshman Lori Johnson led all scorers with 24 points, a good indication of why she was the most valuable player for the season. “That in itself was really something spectacular.” Bruce said, “because she had two knee surgeries, and didn’t play organized ball for 18 months.” Johnson averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game in Big East play. Senior Sally Sheerer scored 12 points in the Seton Hall game. Bruce called her “the allpurpose player for us. She is real versatile. She rebounded well, went inside when she needed to, and hit the perimeter shot.” Next year the team will miss her average of 12 points and 6 rebounds a game. She was one of three players to start all 29 games this year. The Seton Hall game sparked the team to an 8-6 streak to finish the season. The team defeated Villanova, the second-ranked team in the conference, twice in one week, in a regular season game, then in the first game of the Big East tourney. Pill forward Deirdra Baker has NBA-like moves on the court (both pages). to respectability Of junior forward Tabatha Long, Bruce said, Looking back on the last regular season game against Villanova, she played like nobody’s business.” She averaged 5 points and 3 rebounds in league play. Sophomore guard forward Jen Shingler started all 29 games, and her steady play yielded an average of 10 points and 3 rebounds a game, plus 101 assists. That’s fantastic for a 2-guard spot. Jen is a real solid player,” Bruce said. I personally feel she is one of the best 2-guards in the conference.” Complementing Shingler was Denise Becher at point guard. This 5'7 junior guard started all but the four games she sat out because of injury. In the year she dished out 81 assists. “We’re really pleased with what Denise did, and we also think that she can play even better,” Bruce said. Also starting all 29 games for Pitt was 5'9 forward Deidra Baker, who averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds per game. Bruce said of her. “An All-American, in every sense of the word.” Six-foot-four freshman Connie Hurt helped the team’s inside game. She averaged 6 points and 3 rebounds for the season. Bruce said. Connie had a lot of ups and downs this year. She has a vast amount of potential. Before her career is over, she is going to be one of the best centers that we ever had.” The team showed depth, too. It was common to see in the scorebook after the game that 10 or 11 Lady Panthers had seen action. Of the reserves, Jill Sitlinger played a multifaceted role for us. Sometimes she played the 2-guard spot, sometimes she played the point for us,” Bruce said. “Amy Holeman is probably one of the hardest workers I have,” the coach added. Shaunda Bird really improved her skills over the summer. She started six games for us this year.” Other reserves included The team showed depth, too.

Santoro won the 142-pound division by defeating the No. 2 wrestler, Sean O’Day of Edinboro. Santoro finished his third season by winning All-American honors for the third straight year, with a collegiate record of 109-8. making him the only Panther wrestler ever to win 100 matches. The wrestling team at one point had a record of 7-1 and was nationally ranked, but late season losses in rugged eastern competition hurt the team’s record. Santoro is the first Pitt wrestler to win the national championship since Jim Harrison in 1963. “He is a true champion,” said wrestling Coach Rande Stottlemyer. “He is a humble guy who had one hell of a year. I think he is somebody that you can look up to.” Santoro’s father. Richard, fin- ished third in the 1959 NCAA chamnionships while wrestling for Lenigh University.

Adams also placed second in the 100-yard backstroke; Emore came in fourth. In the 200-yard freestyle, Lersch came in second and Folger came in third. Pitt’s David Blair was named diver of the meet for winning the 3-meter board and coming in second in the 1-meter. The competition for diver of the meet was so close that it had to be decided by point totals, with Blair edging out the nearest opponent by .55 of a point. Vernon Yenick came in third on the 3-meter board, and freshman Eric Horner placed sixth. In a competition at the Trees pool, the women's swim team topped off a successful season by winning its sixth Big East championship in a row. Tricia Ney was named women's diver of the meet.

Senior |udy Haughton won the 200-yard butterfly, becoming the third person in Big East history to win an event four years in a row. Freshman Kara Moxie came in fifth, and Rachelle Stauffer came in seventh. Michelle Ranck had a lifetime best performance. It was my last meet.

It was a lot tougher this year and we had to swim harder and it meant more. This is a good championship in particular.” Belowich said. It’s a young team. They have to realize that the most important part of the team it the team itself. They were excited, swam very well, and were an impressive team. It was a fitting end to a successful season. Thf highlight may have been knocking off 20th-ranked Ohio State by a hefty margin. 157-113. It's nice to knock off a Top 20 team,” Belowich said. A standout for the team was Sandy Albright, the school record-holder in the 50-yard and 100-yard backstroke, and a member of the record-setting 200-yard medley relay team. Albright joined Ney in competing at the NCAA championships. As a final crown for her senior season. Ney wa� the winner of the Panther Award as the outstanding female athlete.

Mike Stratos culminated a fine year by winning the javelin throw at the Big East tourney. Coach John Vasary said at the end of the season that the results were satisfactory, considering the injuries to some of the runners. Track 141 142 Track Lewis boosts program The women’s track program is starting to turn around, and much of the credit has to go to Coach Steve Lewis. I.ewis took the post in the fall of 1985. Of the 32 indoor track events his students own 25 records; in the outdoor events, his students own 14. and that doesn't even include the 1988 season, when a number of school marks were broken. No coach is particularly easy to work with because they set their own goals.” junior Pat Cupid said. But Coach Lewis has been the best to work with. He won’t let me sell myself short. He seems to know my abilities better than I know them myself. The track members agree he can be tough in practice, but that his standards get results. Luannc Harris, a junior sprinter and hurdler, offered some adjectives in reference to her coach: dedicated, tough, hardworking and strict. She added, with a smile. He really is very caring and a friend. He has our best interests in mind. The I.ady Panthers finished seventh out of 126 teams at the Eastern Track Championships. The mile relay of Cyndi Randolph. Gloria Azeke. Ardylhe Hope and Keisha Dcmas set a school record. Freshman sensation Dcmas was disqualified after finishing fourth in the quarter-mile, a decision i.ewis strongly disputed. The squad continued to break school records. Azeke set a record in the 1500-meter run; the team of Clarissa Dudley. Cupid. Demas and Vanessa Jones set the record for the 800-meter relay; and Hannah Russell. Robin Hubauer. Cathy Chrissos and Azeke set a record for the 3200-meter relay.

Demas held six indoor and three outdoor school records in individual or relay events, and was named All-East and All-Conference. She admitted that, as a freshman. I’m scared, I let the competition intimidate me. Soon she is expected to be the intimidator.

Injuries slow gymnasts Injuries led to a somewhat disappointing 8-6 record for the men's gymnastics team. A strong preseason had led to higher hopes. After the team finished third in the Great Lakes Championship, then losing to Penn State to end the season. Coach Frank D'Amico said. I didn't think we did poorly. We did well — we did our jobs. I have mixed feelings about our season. We could have won four more meets. In terms of our injuries, we couldn't compete nationally. Our scores did not reflect our talent. But I wasn't disappointed. Season-long injury problems kept one of the best all-rounders. lorge Gonzalez, from his full potential. Nonetheless, he did contribute despite injuries. In the Great Lakes meet, for instance, despito a strained shoulder. Gonzalez was the top vaulter for Pitt, and scored a new record and a personal best on the pommel horse. I went up there with a slightly different attitude. Gonzalez said. I tried to relax and just swing my routine.. If I keep it going, hopefully I’ll have the same results.

She scored 9.4 on vaulting. 1.0 on tin! uneven parallel bars, a 9.1 n the floor exercise, and an 8.6 on the balance beam (with a fall). “I was so happy about hitting my bar routine. she said. I felt really good coming into the meet, and hitting bars just put the icing on the cake.” Another highlight of the meet came from freshman Jeannie Vecchio. Vecchio tied Pitt's school balance beam record with a 9.5. According to Coach Debbie Yohman. Vecchio’s routine was ‘‘flawless, except for a major break in her mount.” I really didn’t think about the record.” said Vecchio. ”1 just wanted to hit my routine. After the break in my mount. 1 just thought about what I had to do next and put the break behind. Vechio also scored a 9.4 on the uneven parallel bars and won the event. Vecchio was Pitt's highest bar scorer all year, and she placed first in every dual meet of the season. with the exception of the Ohio State meet, in which she was second. Gymnastics 147 ■■■■ Season gives hope for men’s tennis The men's tennis team finished the season with a record of 10-10. leaving Coach George Dieffenbach reasonably optimistic about next year. Any time you end up with a .500 record, it’s a good sign for next year.” Four of the six starters will return. Jeff Mills went so far as to say. We have a good foundation for a couple of years. We have a really good shot at winning the Big Fast title next fall. Dieffenbach was a bit more restrained. We could win it. we could be mediocre, we could lose it. That the Panthers have a really good shot at the title remains to be seen. Neil Meyerowich was voted MVP by his teammates. Greg Campbell said that the season turned out pretty much like I thought it would. A couple of the matches that were rained out we would have won. Mills added. I think overall we did fairly well. There were a lot of learning experiences. especially for me.” A key effort in the season may have been a 5-3 victory over Slippery Rock. It was a very good match with lots of team unity. Dieffenbach said. It was a very good tea: effort. “The team was really unified today b cause their team was really hostile. Viv k'umar said. There’s been bad blood b tween the two teams for years. Their tc three guys (were especially) hostile. The were a lot of arguments. Mills. Campbell and Meyerowich wo: the singles matches, and two doubl-matches to take the victory.

One that, fortunately, ended with a win. The Lady Panthers ended the season with a record of 10-6. This was Pitt’s first ten win season since the sport was introduced in 1975. After placing ninth in the Big Hast tournament, Pitt rounded out the season with matches against Clarion University and Carnegie Mellon. Following a disappointing showing at the Big Fast tournament. Pitt was handed a 9-0 loss at the hands of the Clarion squad. Pill was able to avenge their opening loss of the season against CMC. The earlier loss was decided by a point and Coach George Diffenbach noted, It was terrific to start off the season losing a close match 5-4. We progressed through much of the season playing strong schools. He added. We wanted to do well in the big Fast championships. Then we had the match with CMU.” Although the 10-6 record might not seem “up to par,” Diffenbach said. If you look at the records, you can see between Carrie DeVera. Hunt and Sharon Jaffee. they had 33 singles’ wins. Throughout the season our players were up and down, but each player came through during the season at one point or another. Special credit goes to DeVera. Jaffee and Hunt for their winning records.” Diffenbach. Lady Panther coach since 1981. had his winningesl season with this year's squad. by Kelly Butt Bonnie McIntyre concentrates on developing a perfect backhand. Lohman leads The baseball team suffered another losing season, but the leadership of center fielder Brian Lohman was inspiring. In his second season as captain, Lohman said. “I’m almost right where I want to be in both hitting and fielding. Both have gelled really well.” At mid-point of the season, he was batting .444 in conference play, and had no errors. He expressed confidence in the team’s talent and future. “It’s just a matter of getting a few wins under our belts.” The big bats for the Panthers were Chris Cioffi (right). Brian Lohman (below, left) and Bill Sherbondy. 152 Baseball The team stayed loose, feeling that a few wins would break losing habits. Baseball 153 Larry Eldridge: promoting Pitt By Tarun Reddy So how does someone, at the relatively young age of thirty-four, rise to the position of sports information director at one of the country’s largest universities? In Larry Eldridge's case, it all begins across the state of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He became interested in sports information while attending Villanova University, where Eldridge was able to gain an internship in the Wildcat’s sports information department. Upon graduation, he remained close to his roots, raking the job of sports information director at Lasalle University. While Lasalle may not seem like the collegiate sports bastion of the free world, that didn’t mean he wasn’t busy. “While I was there, we spent most of our time promoting Michael Brooks, who earned All-American status in 1981, and later played with the San Diego Clippers, before injuring a knee.” “That was my first real experience in promoting anything of such importance.” noted Eldridge. But as would be the case on two more occasions. Eldridge jumped at another opportunity, this time the setting New Haven. on the campus of Yale University. After spending three years with the Eli athletic programs, he moved from the ranks of the amateurs to that of big time sports marketing. NFL Properties, the merchandising arm of the National Football League. At NFL Properties he served in the capacity of editorial supervisor of several publications, including the official program for the Super Bowl. He then moved on to the world of network sports, working at ABC sports for two years, specifically as a media information director for Monday Night Football. He then left ABC for Pitt when Jim O’Brien was promoted within the University. Few people would be able to identify who exactly is the sports information director at the University of Pittsburgh. Arid of those who did know who occupied the office, an even smaller number would be able to give an accurate description of his duties. But it is of little concern to one man; Larry Eldridge. sports information director at the University of Pittsburgh. To meet Mr. Eldridge is to encounter a man of ideas, for that is exactly what the job demands, the creation and assessment of ideas. Most people probably don’t have a clear idea of exactly what it is I do. said Eldridge. I think my job could best be described as another version of a public relations director. But as Eldridge is quick to point out. there is more to being a sports information director than just presiding over press conferences laden with a plethora of food and (nonalcoholic) drink. My job is not only to see that the University’s athletic programs are probably highlighted. but also to see that people will be enticed to attend particular events.” An example of such promotion involved the football game between Pitt and the Orangemen of Syracuse. As the game took place on Halloween, the sports information department, under the direction of Eldridge. came up with the idea of having masks made with the picture of all-American running back Craig Ironhead” Heyward pasted on cardboard pasted to popsicle sticks. “A simple, but effective marketing of Heyward to the Heisman trophy. It didn’t hurt that the game was on national television.” Touchdown celebrations in Pitt Stadium are nothing new. but the one above has one new aspect: it happened at night at Pitt Stadium. Just as Chicago’s Wrigley Field later in the year bowed to modern demands, so too did Pitt Stadium finally get lights. On September 19. 1987, the University of Pittsburgh entered a new era in football with the unveiling of the first set of permanent lights in the history of Pitt Stadium. The lights, which were estimated to cost around a half a million dollars, were the crowning jewel on venerable Pitt stadium, which had stood without illumination for some fifty-three years. The opponent to play Pitt under the new lights were the Owls of Temple, who disappointed the large crowd of Panther faithful with a twenty-four to twenty-one defeat of the Panthers. Previously, the Panthers had employed temporary lights in a 1985 game at Pitt Stadium against the Purdue Boilermakers, and before that had played several contests at the Three Rivers Stadium in order to play night games. The lighting system is composed of six scaffolds which stretch as high as one hundred and sixty feet into the sky. Each of the six units contain fifteen-hundred light bulbs. mature 155 SOCCER PITT 2 987 University of Pittsburgh SOCCER RESULTS Slippery Rock 1 Pill 2 TIFFIN 3 PITT 3 California, PA 0 PITT 5 St. Francis 1 Pill 0 BUCKNELL 2 Pitt 0 WEST VIRGINIA 2 Pitt 1 OHIO STATE 2 (2 OT) Pitt 2 Canisius 2 (2 OT) Pitt 0 SETON HALL 7 Pitt 0 GEORGETOWN 1 Pitt 0 ROBERT MORRIS 1 Pitt 1 ST.

Pitt made strides into its third century, making advances in research and in teaching, in the arts and in the sciences. At the same time, other traditions remained, from tailgating to french fries at the 0 to winning sports teams. Yet other things passed, as always happens. The region was changing, and old ways were disappearing. In some ways it was appropriate that, as the year passed into history, so did a mayor who had come to svmboli .e Pittsburgh's transition to the new world. Although Pittsburgh’s skyline testified to the city’s determination to battle the economic upheaval of the past decade. Pittsburghers were stunned by the death in May of the leader who guided the city through the decade. Mayor Richard Caliguiri (far left) had been suffering from a rare disease, amyloidosis, in which protein fibers interfere with internal organs. Although the disease is always fatal, and Caliguiri had been visibly weakened by the disease, his death still came as a shock to Pittsburghers. His funeral at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland was attended by hundreds, from Gov. Bob Casey to ordinary people who were touched by the mayor’s leadership and dedication to the city.
