Gene Gerwe, Bob Senkewicz, S.J., William Rewak, S.J., and others pushed for the completion of the S50 million fund drive, Benson renovation, the construction of a new engineering building, and the Alameda reroute, Darryl Zehner, Helen Daley and the Office of Housing and Residence Life supervised the renovation of Campisi and McLaughlin Halls. Tom Shanks, SJ., John Privett, S.J., and others supported a new Communication Department Frs. Senkewicz, Rewak, and Paul Locatelli S.J., took the faculty on retreats to critique SCU's many programs. Evaluation of the core curriculum con- tinued after the retreats with the help of an N.E.H. grant. Other people's decisions spread the University's name. Dan Saracino, M.A., Mr. Gerwe, and others put together video tapes and brochures about SCU. Harold Keeling's and Nick Vanos' perfor- mances in the NIT brought national attention. So did the Rugby Club's eastern tour and the wom- en's basketball performance in The Holiday Clas- sic. The University's curriculum, reputation and campus grew because of the decisions of its many individuals. These moves made SCU what it was in 1985. MAKING THE RIGHT 1 T Promoting SCU s Growth

Sewing a co t me for the spring prod tion of Idiot's ACADEMICS POSITIVEA he challenge was to supplement the often te- dious nature of study with elements that en- ticed, enlightened, and inspired. The University's academic departments rose to this challenge, of- fering a wide range of course selections and ac- tivities that encouraged students to explore, to deepen their awareness, and, ultimately to strengthen socially responsible commitments. For the first time, students pursued double ma- jors and minors. Students and professors also worked on project research that not only added to their knowledge and experience but also contri- buted to biology, chemistry and other fields of study. Students went abroad and gained a new perspective on European culture as well as their own. Professors also travelled to Europe and the Far East on sabbaticals. The University itself began a self-examination and invited its faculty for a retreat to critique academic and student services programs. The Uni- versity also sponsored the Institute on Poverty and Conscience to expose the community to reali- ties at home and in the Third World. This academic climate encouraged students and faculty to explore and to act. And that continued until the end of the school year when students, Faculty and Staff Against Apartheid was formed and the Communication Department was ap- proved.
