University of Denver - Kynewisbok Yearbook (Denver, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1988 volume:

From the Editors It is an honor to present the 90th edition of the Kynewisbok — and in every sense of the word, this Year in Review is the K-book of old, and of the future. There is much to be said for tradition. And, in the Year in Review, we’ve tried to capture the best traditions of the University of Denver. If there was ever any tradition to the K-book, we believe that you'll find it inside. Du’s finest athletes, its Pioneers, its newsmakers and vistas are all present And so is the spirit. As students, we know what the University of Denver means to us as a community — students, faculty, staff and alumni. That certain spirit which represents a feeling inside of us would be found in any year-end project. Many people have worked hard to produce this book. Weve thought about what should be included, and in what form. We’ve worked until the small hours of the morning, not unlike editors in decades past. And we’re reassured to read in the 1947 D-book that the editors of that K-book were struggling to get their book back before graduation. Wc can all see the future of the Kynewisbok in the pages that follow. There may be changes in style and form. Even this year, many have pushed for a video yearbook — one which will literally record the images of day-to-day life, this time on a different sort of film. But this future is simply a reflection of the past In the K-books of the future, the University tradition will be a constant This tradition is important But what makes tradition? Wc believe it is spirit. The Pioneer spirit Wc present this spirit to you now. The Editors Ghosts 1948. At the end of World War II. returning Gls swelled the student body from 3.000 to nearly 12.000. They lived in self-governed “Quonsets and Butlers, on a part of campus known as J ionccr and Buchtel villages These primitive residence halls remained for only a short time. Today. Frontier Hall. Pioneer Hall. Aspen Hall. J-Mac, Columbine Hall, the South side of the Driscoll Center and others occupy these “villages' These were not the only remnants of the Second World War that were a part of the DU campus The Ficldhouse was at one time a WWII airplane hangar, legend has it hauled in from Montana and reconstructed as a hockey arena. Temporary buildings became permanent in the cases of the professional psychology building, and storage space around campus 4 Contents News 6 Events 34 Pioneer Awards 49 Greeks 65 Sports 80 Day in the Life 99 Trends 113 News News Its difficult to figure out what news is worthy of covering in a year-end volume. What may seem newsy today may actually turn out to be of little consequence next month or next year or in ten years. Perhaps the best we can do is preserve what we perceive to be important right now. These perceptions are based on a number of things. One is what was important last year. The continuing AIDS crisis is probably worthy of another look as it has genuinely affected attitudes of University officials and the habits of DU students. Also worth a second look is the change occuring as a result of a system in which a provost is the Number Two man at DU and the continuing concerns surrounding the University's finances, the student media and student programs — though not necessarily in any order. Other perceptions are based on the way we feel — about our activities, who we study with, play with and who teaches us. In choosing a Man of the Year. we didn't have to look far to find the personality whose decisions have had the most lasting effect on students. Dr. Tom Goodalc's decisions have set an agenda which have had an impact on the way we live at DU. As vice chancellor for student affairs. Goodale has made decisions which have generated controversy but have made us think. Consistently on the side of the student. Goodale has served as a role model for other administrators — always at sporting events, always on-call and often serving as the accessible first step in solving disputes — an accessibility which has raised its own controversy. Considering the man's unrelenting support for the student, it's difficult to understand the University's willingness to let him go. This in itself is probably news. Nevertheless, the sense of loss felt by so many students on the announcement of his resignation is another reason for his being named the year's top newsmaker. It is indeed rare to find one whose leaving leaves as big a void as the contributions he's made. So. we commit to print what we consider to be the most significant people, issues and events of the year feeling confident that these are the things which are shaping the future. 6 News MAN of the YEAR An Era Ends The First Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Becomes the Last After seven years as the University's first vice chancellor for student affairs. Dr. Tom Goodalc announced in November that he would leave the University at the end of the academic year. The surprise announcement reportedly came as a result of expected restructuring by the Provost to whom Goodalc's position would report The vice chancellors position was not expected to exist under a new plan for student affairs. In his farewell speech. Goodale described Student Affairs work as very intense and requiring a high level of energy, physical stamina and an ability to remain decisive while at the same time, fair and compassionate.-L Goodale is credited with spearheading a drive which resulted in the completion of the Dnscoll University Center. A nationally recognized expert in alcohol and substance abuse. Goodale has been quoted in national magazines and has testified before congressional panels. A director of the responsible drinking group BACCHUS. Goodale campaigned against Colorado's attempts to raise the dnnking age to 21. Often controversial. Goodale has openly supported the rights of all student groups, including the Gay and Lesbian Student Support Group in its 1983 bid for AUSA Senate recognition Goodale sparked controversy last year again with a drive to place condom machines in greek houses and residence halls in an AIDS awareness prevention plan. Goodale is also credited with creating an open atmosphere among students, one which fostered creativity and a feeling of open access to University administrators. He said that in recent months there were issues, both personal and professional. which prompted his decision to leave. Goodale came to DU in 1981 from the University of Honda where he was the dean of students. He is currently president of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA). This year marks the 25th anniversary of his career in college administration. Goodale said he remains proud of the accomplishments of the Division of Student Affairs, but felt it was time to move on to new challenges and opportunities. “I'm looking at a wide range of career moves right now and there arc several possibilities that I find exciting and challenging. he said. 7 News Wood Named Provost; Faculty to Take Priority 4Harvard of the West' image will be phased out On September 25. 1987. DU decided to pursue the current trend in private university governance through the appointment of a provost Roy G. Wood, formerly Dean of the School of Speech at Northwestern University, became second in command at the University, with his responsibilities based in formulating academic and budgetary policies. He was the choice for the newly created position because of his strong DU background. Wood earned his B.A.. M.A.. and Ph.D here in the early 1960 s. I'm very excited about coming back to Denver. he said. There have been so many positive changes in the University. It is really positioned to move forward. His efforts this year have focused on getting to know DU. its faculty, students, traditions, and policies. A key concern for Wood is defining the University’s mission for the future. He would like to eliminate the Harvard of the West philosophy of previous years, asserting that DU should establish a name of its own based on the merits of an excellent liberal arts program and the credentials of its faculty. The position of provost was created at DU to relieve pressure on the Chancellor's office, as his job as president had garnered too many responsibilities for one person to handle. Chancellor Dwight Smith had been evaluating the possibility of creating this position for the last few years but wanted to wait until he had reorganized and better defined the University's goals before he decided to make it a reality this fall. The addition of a provost is expected to help DU sharpen its competitive edge for the ensuing years by becoming a more sharply focused and distinctive university in its own fight With his strong commitment to excellence in general and to the private higher education system in particular. Roy Wood may prove to be the nght man for the job. By Kristen Kopplin 8 News Chancellor Dwight Smith Stabilization of the attrition rate, the success of academic reorganization and improved advising give the Chancellor a base on which to build success. Four Years Find Smith Still Strong The 1987-88 academic year was a productive one for Dwight M. Smith, chancellor of the University of Denver. In the past nine months, he has seen great things happen to the University that he brought out of a potentially fatal slump, and students can be proud of what he has accomplished. The extensive reorganization of the undergraduate programs, including the Core Curriculum and The College has taken place and is flourishing admirably. Additionally, increasing student enrollment. another of his main concerns, has also occurred, with freshmen enrollment exceeding projected figures by 60 students. The student attrition rate is also stabilizing as more students decide to complete their four-year degrees at DU than in recent times. The implementation of the Central Advising System (CAS) occurred this year under the direction of the Chancellor enabling students to be advised in all areas of study rather than merely within the realm of their specific major. CAS is running better than expected, and the freshmen and sophomores that have utilized the system hold it in high regard. The successful administration of these programs combined with an increased awareness of DU's standing in the community arc all accomplishments that Smith can be proud of. In the future. Smith would like to focus on student life to make the undergraduate experience more enjoyable as well as more academically sound. Some of his ideas include bringing more concerts to the school, engaging the Driscoll Center pub in more campus-wide activities. and establishing more traditional events like Winter Carnival. So what has Dwight Smith done for DU? All of the changes that he has implemented in his four-year stint as Chancellor arc ones that upperclassmen have experienced first hand. As a result of the changes, we arc leaving a DU that is considerably more sound than the institution we entered four years ago. By Kristen Kopplin News Alumnus To Assume AD Spot Craig Patrick “He’s a very solid individual — not flashy. He’s well known and very well respected in the sports world. ” — Vice Chancellor Tom Goodale and very well-rcspected in the sports world. Although the committee appears to have mude an outstanding choice to replace Cillo. the search process was a difficult one. It began in April, shortly after Cillo announced his retirement and struggled through August with the field of applicants narrowed to zero. Deciding that none of the applicants were a match for the University. according to Goodale. the search committee called Patrick, who was currently working with Team USA in the Canada Cup. On the morning of Wednesday. ScpL 9, Goodale called Patrick about the position By Wednesday night. Patrick was on a plane headed for Denver. Two days of discussions with members of the DU faculty followed and by Monday morning. he had agreed to take the job. I love Denver and I love DU the soft-spoken Patrick said. Its a wonderful situation to return to “It (the program) has been left in a very strong state. I think there is a great future for all of the athletic programs By Dan Davis 10 News Compassion Key to Lamm’s ‘Hard Choices’ by Mary Yanni Richard Lamm, professor of public affairs, perches comfortably on the edge of a desk, alert and enthusiastic. Colorado's former governor is prodding his class into discussing some hard decisions facing the nation Rising medical costs, life support for the terminally ill. and the bankruptcy of America itself will all come up in the course of any given conversation For a combination of reasons. Lamm tells the class, you will be faced with intractable problems requiring an awful lot of thought and compassion. Someone in this class — or some group of you — could really cause your own revolution It is society’s insoluble problems that Lamm has returned to academia to tackle. and to help the younger generation attack. His combination of keen intellect and dynamic style make the former governor a rarity Lamm is teaching at DU for the first time since he was elected governor in 1973, but he is not inexperienced. He has nearly eight years of teaching under his bell, including four years at DU s law school, where he was a full professor Hard Choices is bmm's brain-child. He debuted the course four years ago at the University of Colorado at Denver. Since leaving office last year, he has taken the course on the road to Dartmouth and Innsbruck. Austria. Lamm and Professor Richard Caldwell have refined and intensified the course, compiling a mountain of reading material and an ambitious schedule. Even more than his years behind the podium. Lamm brings to DU frontline experience that gives an added dimension to his class. My experience in public outlook comes across clearly, but he encourages students to develop their own well-informed viewpoints. I am bound to bring a very strong viewpoint to this class. I hope for your sake that my interpretations of America s problems are too gloomy. The class, made up of some of DLTs best and brightest, is willing to respond to Lamm's sense of urgency, and they have given him good marks. Lamm is the rarest of politicians: one who loves to tackle difficult and controversial issues. says senior Kevin Armitage His knowledge, experience and flair make him an excellent teacher. Lamm left the State House content. He enjoyed his years as governor, but was just as glad to be free of the position “I'm very happy not to be governor anymore; 12 years is enough. he says. It was an honor, but I think it was definitely time for me to do something else. The time may come again for him to do something else in 1990 when the U S. Senate race rolls around again. He is toying with the idea of running for the Gary Hart seat, but in the meantime he is happy to be here at DU. I really felt I didn’t want to get out of politics, but I wanted to take a break. “I am very hopeful that I will still be able to make a substantial contribution even though l‘m not in politics. he said. People arc listening to me around the country; they really arc. I don't have to have a platform. I'm still working at a very frenzied pace proselytizing my ideas, and I'm finding that I have a national platform where people arc listening to my thoughts. That doesn't mean they're agreeing all the time, but they're listening. News Richard lamm. Chancellor l) ij ht Smith and Loo Block Alumnus Block endows SI million professorship Cash Gifts Give DU Record Double Play; Ricketson Bequest Totals $5 million The University of Denver's development office scored a double whammy this year by receiving the two largest gifts ever — both of which came from alumni and not from foundations which have previously been DCs heavy hitters The first piece of good news was revealed dunng the University's autumn convocation in September when Chancellor Dwight Smith announced that San Antonio businessman Leo Block had endowed a SI million professorship. Block, a 1935 alumnus and former Clanon editor, became the donor of the largest cash gift in the University's I2 year history. The endowment will be used to attract intellectuals of national suture to DU. The first Leo Block University Professor is former Colorado governor Richard Lamm Lamm, an outspoken expert on health care and state spending, has established the Center for Public Policy and Contemporary Issues with part of the endowment Lamm's courses on tough questions are among DCs most sought after and controversial. Blocks claim to making the largest cash donation to DU was broken just months after being made when the estate of alumnus Frank Ricketson. Jr announced a S5 million bequest to DCs College of Law In accepting the Ricketson bequest Smith said. Frank Ricketson was a great friend to the University. This gift is the capstone of his lifelong support and will assist in positioning the College of Law as one of the premier legal centers of education in the country. Ricketson served as a DU trustee for several years. Ricketson graduated from the University of Kentucky before graduating with a law degree from Westminster Law School in 1919. Westminster merged with DU in the late 1950s. Ricketson later became a leader in Hollywood film promotion and was active in cultural and civic organizations including trusteeships of the John F.

This shows the faith people have in us. They don't let you refinance when you are in trouble. ” — Provost Roy Wood The University of Denver has refinanced the $9.5 million debt incurred to finance the building of Driscoll University Center in 1982. The bond was refinanced for over $17 million According to Liz Williams, vice chancellor for business and financial alTairs, one of the purposes of refinancing the bond was to acquire $8 million for capital projects to improve DU. These projects arc mainly improvements to buildings around campus. Some of the renovations include new laboratories for the Core Science classes in Boettcher West and a new and improved facility in Columbine for the School of Hotel and Restaurant Management. Additionally. Frontier Hall will be converted from apartments to ofTiccs. classrooms and seminar rooms, and Spruce Hall will renovated in time for Speech Communications to move in. Williams specified that these were all changes to be made with the funds received from refinancing the bonds. There are other renovations taking place, such as restoration of the residence halls, but those arc from different funds. The University owes a total of $35 million in bond issues, but this docs not signal any instability in its financial position. according to Provost Roy Wood The debt situation comes from selling bonds to investors. Wood said. “All of our bonds have been sold. This shows the faith people have in us. They don't let you refinance (bonds) when you arc in trouble. They buy the bonds of people who arc able to pay them back. The University has two major bond issues. One is $17 million and has a van-able rate of interest which stays around 5 percent. The other is $17.5 million which has a fixed interest rate of 9 percent. “We have established a mixture of (interest) rates and of nsk. Williams said. “We felt like it was a really good thing to do. We re very pleased with the results. One of the reasons why the bond issue was refinanced was to fund several capital improvement projects. “Another reason was that we wanted to get the debt in a situation where we felt we could leave it alone and live with the terms of Next year, students will pay. an estimated 6.9 percent more for tuition, but their student activity fee will fall by almost $100. According to Provost Roy Wood, this is the first stage in a plan to incorporate the student activity fee into tuition. While tuition for 1987-88 was $9,288. the 1988-89 school year will sec it rise to $9,936. The student activity fee. included in the tuition figures, will fall from $396 to $288. According to Wood, this is slightly below typical tuition increases across the country. Most colleges and universities can expect an 8-10 percent increase in cost A 6.9 percent tuition increase places DU only less than two percent above the lowest rate of increase in the country. Funds generated by the tuition increase will be used to accomplish these debts for a long time. Williams said. Wood agreed, but said he sees another challenge: “We need to make sure wc continue to spend our money wisely. several specific objectives. “A merit plan for faculty will be instituted in order to establish a greater emphasis on the quality of teaching at DU. Wood said. The plan will allow top faculty to receive salary increases accordingly. In addition, funds will also go toward a published teaching and course evaluation program and toward maintaining and improving the Core curriculum. Similarly, an internal fund will be established to continue efforts aimed at faculty development through scholarly and creative work. 'There will also be an increase of almost $500,000 in financial aid available next year. Wood said. The increase, a direct result of the tuition hike, will be in the form of University-granted aid. 6.9% Tuition Hike Ordered; Faculty Plan to Get Funding u News ADMISSIONS UP — AGAIN Admission was successful in rccroit ing students for the 1987 - 1988 academic year with a freshman class of 850 students, according to Susan Hunt, associate dean of admissions. We arc concentrating on who applies to DU. Hunt said ‘This allows us to be both competitive and selective while having only the best applicants apply. According to admission statistics, the average rank in class for entering freshmen is the 81st percentile (top fifth.) The University encourages students in the top three-fifths to apply. Students from highly competitive independent schools should know that rank is less of a factor in their admission consideration. Overall. Admissions recommends the importance of a good academic preparation. (English. Foreign Languages. Mathematics. Science. History. Social Sciences, and course work in the arts. In the past three years the testing profile presented by enrolling freshman has increased. The average SAT — verbal score is between 500 and 550. The SAT -math score is between 550 and 600. The ACT — Comp scores range from 21—24. According to admission statistics. DU students come from 50 states and 80 foreign countries, and 65 percent of DlTs student body comes from outside Colorado Admissions works hard to obtain these percentages as the diversity of the student body makes the University of Denver a much more interesting and lively place to learn. The freshman who enrolled in the fall of 1987 reflected diverse geographical backgrounds: 32 percent — Colorado; 16 percent — West; 16 percent — Midwest; 22 percent — Fast; I percent — Other Eastern seaboard states; 5 percent — Northwest; 4 percent — Plains; 4 percent — South. According to Hunt there is yet another expected increase for admissions in the Fall 1988 class keeping in step with an unexpected national rise — the fall in the number of baby boomers was expected to decrease college attendance.

The tally was the same each time. Jerath. a sophomore pre-med major, and Marinaro. a junior majoring in English, both served on Senate this year and feel they have the experience to be effective leaders. ‘The first thing I want to do is to get all the new senators to know each other” Jerath said. “We will start by working externally to make the workings of the Senate known to the campus. Jerath and Marinaro's goals for Senate are very open for student input. We re not going in with dead-set promises.” Jerath said. We want to be flicxiblc and work with the students. They need to be more aware of what we do and be more involved with what we do. “I was really pleased with the voter turnout,” said Munden of the 847 ballots cast. “Just under one-third of the undergraduate population voted.” Munden said. It was the best turnout in the last four years. Sixteen new AUSA Senators were elected. They arc: Kim Cooper. Ashlcigh Lynn Taylor. Dave Havclka. Clifford Whitehouse. Tim Garland. Julie Kauf-mann.

Answer: A student organization called CARE. The College Acquqamtance Recruitment Experience (CARE) is a special type or service organization run by DU students in coordination with the Admissions Office CARE allows prospective students a unique opportunity to visit the University and gain first-hand insight into student life through a variety of organizationally sponsored activities. One of the most popular and successful program of CARE is Denver Days During the program about 200 prospective and accepted students slay at DU for a weekend of informational sessions and fun Members of CARE stay in the residence halls with visiting students and provide guidance and insight into the University. Prospective students are given specialized campus tours, and participate in the ultimate DU activity by attending a inday night hockey game This year we improved the tours given dunng the Denver Days program by personalizing them.- said Scott Zelkin. Den- ver Days co-director. Accounting students gave tours to those prospectivcs interested in that field and so on. It was really successful Campus tours arc another vital pan of CARE In the past year, more than 1700 tours were conducted by students. A new tour handbook was compiled and guided students with interesting DU fun facts’ , as well as specific policies of the tour program. A revised housing program, designed to host students overnight was also implemented in coordination with the tour program this year. According to Rhonda Blecher. 1987-1988 CARE co-coordinator, many of the DU students now participating in the tour program do so because of the campus tour they received before they came to school. It's really rewarding for a student to give a tour and find out that he she was responsible in helping a prospective student make the decision to come to DU. Blcchcr said. The High School Outreach and Big Brother Big Sister programs are unique for CARE because they extend beyond CARE membership, and encourage all students to become involved campuswide. The Outreach program had its highest student participation in its history this year. More than 100 students went back to their prospective high schools over winter break and talked with students about DU. The Big Brother Big Sister program also met great success this year with a 70 percent contact rate reported by director Theresa Walsh.

As part of the University's 125th anniversary celebration, the Clarion announced plans in mid-April to publish the D-Book for incoming freshmen. The book will be distributed during SOAR presentations and during the first weeks of autumn quarter. The D-Book is is a compilation of University-related information and trivia laced with anecdotes and fight songs chants The D-Book had been a popular companion to other college traditions like the freshman beanie, kangaroo court and and lantern nights popular during the 1940s The D-Book hasn't been printed for the University since the mid-1960s “We decided to bnng the D-Book back on a whim. said Yanni. after seeing an article about the book in a 1926 yearbook. We want to get everyone, especially the freshmen, more spin ted and into tradition.' Yanni continued “Even if its only getting them into the traditions of Geneva Glen, the Convocation and class assemblies. Without traditions, a school becomes sterile and impersonal. Yanni said We hope that if people are involved in the history and tradition of the school, they won't be walking around complaining — they'll be proud to say they go to DU. According |g Yanni. response to the idea of bringing back the D-book has been so good, including enthusiastic support from Chancellor Dwight Smith and University Historian Dr. Allen Brcck. the Clarion will now publish 2300 books — nearly triple the amount they had planned on printing.

The ski pioneer who led the University of Denver to 13 NCAA national championships died April 9 in Denver at the age of 72. Former DU ski coach and coach of the 1972 US. Olympic ski team. Wilhelm ‘ Willy Schaeffler came to the forefront of the ski world in the 1950s and '60s when he led 13 of his 18 University of Denver ski teams to NCAA championships and finished second in two others Thirty three of his DU skiers were named to All-American teams and 15 went on to become Olympians. From 1958-60. Schaeffler left DU to assume duties as the director of Ski Events at the I960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley. Calif. In 1966. 68 and 70 he led the U S A. special I know this sounds absurd, but Willy had such a strong ability to hang in there that I never thought he would actually die. Schaeffler tmly did have a knack for hanging in there. He'd been down several times during his life, but he always managed to survive. Sometimes under incredible odds. Schaeffler was bom December 13. 1915. in Kaulbeuren. Bavaria. By the time he was 8 years old. he was already a competitive skier. Less than 10 years later, he would win the Bavarian Alpine Championships. He was named to the 1936 German Olympic squad, but two broken legs kept him from competing After recovering from the injuries. World War II loomed as Schaefflers next great obstacle. Considered politically what is now the Arapahoe Basin ski area. Two years later. Schaeffler accepted his position at DU. Craig Patrick, who is now DUs athletic director, was a hockey player here during the time Schaeffler was busy building a ski dynasty. I knew him mostly through his players. Patrick says. “They were the best conditioned athletes on the campus. He used to make his players run up and down the (football) stadium stairs as part of their workout. Schaeffler is well known for such high-powered tactics to keep his athletes in shape. Not only would he make them run the stadium stairs, but they often had to run the stairs while carrying a teammate. Ole Wilmann still remembers what a “He never settled for less than 100 percent. He asked his athletes for 100 percent, and that's how he lived his own life. ” — Dale Erwin Ski Team at the World University Games and won 23 medals. Then, in 1972. Schaeffler was named coach of the U S. Olympic Ski Team. His crew captured two medals in the Games, which were held in Sapporo. Japan. Schaeffler's involvement with the Olympics inspired him in his drive to bring the Games to Denver. In addition to coaching the nordic and alpine skiers at DU. Schaeffler coached soccer and served as conditioning trainer for the old football team. Dale Erwin, who played soccer for Schaeffler during the 60s and now lives in Denver, says Schaeffler was one of a kind. “He had an incredible spark for life. Erwin says. He was really something unsafe by Nazi leaders for his outspokenness against their policies. Schaeffler was sent to the Russian front in 1940 He was assigned to an outfit of other anti-Nazis who were used to spearhead the Third Reich's dnvc into the Soviet Union Schaeffler was wounded three times during the war. including a bullet wound to the head and shrapnel lodged in his heart and lungs The Russian army captured Schaeffler, but he managed to escape and organize a resistance group dedicated to sabotaging the Nazi war effort Schaeffler also taught U.S. soldiers how to ski in the Swiss Alps One of his pupils was Gen George S Patton. Following the war. in 1946. Schaeffler came to Colorado and chopped trees in fierce competitor Schaeffler was. Wilmann skied, played soccer and assistant coached for Schaeffler in the late ‘60s and early 70s. He use to make us meet him in the old student union parking lot at 7 a m. on Saturday mornings. W'ilmann says. “Wed drive up into the mountains and he'd take us for four hour hikes. And that was during the off-season. Without a doubt. Schaeffler loved to win Upon his induction into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 1972, he summed up his winning philosophy better than anyone: We never competed for second place Wilmann agrees. Willy was not fond of second place One time, we came in second place in Steamboat Springs at the last meet of the year, and Willy said. 26 News Willy Schaeffler There's no time for celebrations here. Tomorrow we go to Winter Park and start training for next year.' As long as we won. everything was fine Erwin says Schaeffler's desire to be the best rubbed off on all his athletes. He never settled for less than 100 percent He asked his athletes for 100 percent, and that's how he lived his own life. Schaeffler not only loved winning, he loved life. So much so that he survived four open heart surgeries and another operation to implant a pacemaker. Three weeks before he died. Schaeffler insisted upon undergoing reconstructive knee surgery. despite the high risk caused by his poor health. He decided to take the risk rather than be confined to his bed. Among his other accomplishments. Schaeffler worked with the Kennedy family to establish the Special Olympics. Today, the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brings a portion of those games to DU. Just prior to his deaths a scholarship fund in Schaeffler's name was established to help handicapped skiers and scholars. 27 News Media Board Says ‘Do-Or-Die’; Controversy Continues to Plague Media Following the upheaval of past years, this year saw the University's student media straighten up and fly right — in some cases — and hobble along in others. Faced with a continuing financial pinch, the Student Media Board placed ail student media on a do-or-die course, mandating that all media cover expenses without the promise of a last-minute bailout which had saved the functionally bankrupt media last year. The Clarion responded by adhenng to a system which allowed for paper size based upon ad revenue The Clanon looks to make a small profit at the end of the year. Plans arc being discussed to once again return the Clarion to a twice-weekly publication schedule in September. According to SMB member Bnan Kitts, the Clarion is finally out of a slump which has slowed its growth. “The Clarion management has finally accepted financial responsibility for the paper. Kitts said. Now that Tom's (1988 Clarion editor Tom Zakrajsek) stall has cleaned up the financial problem the SMB has great hopes for Mary's (1989 Clarion editor Mary Yanni) vision that a student newspaper can be more than a simple recap of DU news and student events. The future of year-end projects at the University is less dear than the Clarion's success, however The Year in Review stafT is in a rebuilding process. according to Review editor Earl Duval We've made a serious effon to get a variety of students involved in what we re doing so that a year-end project can continue With a committed staff, the Year in Review next turned its attention to the scramble for funding. Creative means for attracting student advertising, a special supplement for seniors and an appeal for parent advertising should help the Year in Review cover its costs — the first time a year-end project will break even in five years The future of any year-end project became the most controversial media question of the year. Debate focused on trends in year-end publications —a year-end magazine vs. a traditional hard cover yearbook or a video yearbook, now a trend on some college campuses. A task force of faculty and students appointed by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Goodale is expected to make a recommendation for future projects late this spring. Production costs, the reality of small subscription sales numbers and the emotional issues of tradition are expected to weigh m heavily in the final decision Another task force appointed by Goodale will take the issue of the troubled campus radio station. KAOS, off the back burner. The task force of students and local media experts is expected to make recommendations regarding the future of the station. Among the questions to be answered are the cost and practicality of pursuing cable and FM bands for the station KAOS is currently serviced by a weak AM signal Available funds and the University's commitment to the station will decide much of the station's fate. To make the long-term investment worthwhile, the University's central administration and trustees will have to approve the University’s acceptance of responsibility for the station's FCC license. according to Kitts There's also a good deal of money that needs to be spent to upgrade the equipment and move the station. The SMB is committed to maintaining the program — the student interest is definitely here.' Kitts continued It's just that Denver is the second most saturated radio market in the nation and it doesn't make sense to spend money to continue making KAOS nothing more than an expensive toy. “It's been a real fight to get the media the attention they need to operate...The aggressive posture is what will keep us progressing. — Bess Copeland SMB members agreed that no money would be spent on equipment or a requested move out of Centennial Towers until the future of KAOS was determined. KAOS instead was asked to spend its budget on programs which would train students in station operauon The SMB request met with mixed success as KAOS Station Manager Tom Ahart reported that interest in working at KAOS was high early in the year and fell off once students were trained but had no practical way to use their experience.

It's been a real fight to get the media the attention they need to operate, and we simply can t allow the SMB to become passive again. The aggressive posture is what will keep us progressing. 28 News A Celebration of Accomplishment Senior claw president Stacc) Slrahs and Dean ( harles C ortese Commencement Takes on a New Look For the first time in the University’s history, students are not spending their Memorial Day weekend studying for finals.

Condom Machines Part of DU Stand Against AIDS Since the beginning of time, people have never been free from the threat of disease. In fact, more people have died from disease and illness than from war. Smallpox, measles, polio. Each killers in their own right Each conquered by the miracles of medicine. Today, a new disease threatens the survival of human existence. In less than 10 years. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has grown to unbelievable proportions. Unless the spread of AIDS is stopped, the human race will face one of the worst epidemics in its history. The result of a virus which attacks the body's immune system. AIDS or HIV. seeks out and infects a certain type of white blood cell. This infection causes the immune system to operate at an insufficient level. Once infected, the body is vulnerable to diseases normally defeated by the immune system, including the central nervous system, scientists believe In trying to understand AIDS, it is important to realize that so much remains unknown What the experts consider to be true today, may be false tomorrow. However, one thing is certain: the dangers surrounding AIDS arc staggering So how is DU handling this frightening situation? Some of the ways include an AIDS Task Force and the placement of condom machines in bathrooms on campus Playing its own role in combating the disease. DlTs administration authorized the creation of an AIDS Task Force last spring Headed by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. Tom Goodale. the task force is dedicated to educating and informing the student body about the disease Additionally, in a mayor step toward AIDS prevention and awareness at DU. condom machines were installed throughout the campus in early September. DU was the first major university in the state to install the machines. People arc naive if they believe that AIDS is not here at DU. says senior Becky Wtninger. co-chairman of the University of Denver's AIDS Task Force.

It also gives students a voice in the administration and shows that their opinions matter. Juniors and seniors who are nominated by administrators become members when the final selection is made by the Chancellor himself Members of the Corps represent a wide range of campus interests and are chosen for a variety of reasons Some are scholars and some are student leaders or athletes, but all have demonstrated strong dedication to DU. Dubes of the CLC include serving as hosts for events at the Chancellor's home or special events on campus. Knowledge of academic and student programs is essential, as members often work with administrators from other universities, the Board of Trustees, alumni and prospective students. Above all. representing the concerns and interests of the students is the most important function of the CLC. Every Wednesday morning, significant topics are discussed with the Chancellor and other administrators It's an honor to be chosen to serve the Office of the Chancellor. but one that demands an on-going dedication to the ideas of the students. By Lisa Alexander 32 Ghosts This open panorama of more than 80 years ago is now criss-crossed with paved streets, lined with houses and crowded with pioneers of a new era. Many of these structures still stand, not only as monuments to their time but as functional academic buildings. The IlifT School of Theology. University Hall and Chamberlain Observatory, all built prior to 1900. are still in use today, although they arc now crowded by dozens of newer buildings. Two buildings that were to join these architectural pioneers in less than a decade were Carnegie Hall, the last library donated by Andrew Carnegie himself. and Science Hall. Carnegie sits vacant, waiting for funds for renovation, while Science Hall still houses several Core science labs. 33 Events smoothly, most everyone came away with at least a few good memories, including senior staff member, Jon Niermann. “SOAR was a lot of fun. especially leading freshmen astray. he said.

Geneva Glen has been an integral part of the freshman experience for many students. Geneva Glen exists as a fun weekend in the mountains for all incoming students, however, it is primarily geared towrard freshmen. Each fall, after the fust week of classes, approximately 100 freshmen journey up to the foothills to spend the weekend with upperclassmen, faculty and administrators. The program attempts to remove the new students from campus and their hectic first week and put them in a relaxed and friendly environment Geneva Glen introduces new students not only to the beauty of Colorado, but also to the social side of the college experience. The task of creating such an environment lies with the Geneva Glen staff — this year cochaired by Liz Bowman and Lake Setzer. The staff consists of upperclass members. faculty and administrators It is, however, a student-run organization. Geneva Glen has one of the highest application rates of any program on campus. Every spring quarter more than 70 upperclass members apply to be on staff The staff works together with two student co-chairs and an adviser on selecting and planning the various activities for the weekend. Activities range from square dancing to a bonfire and singing, to hik- ing and volleyball games. Once the students arrive at Geneva Glen, they are divided into small groups. Each group is led by two student group leaders, a faculty member and an administrator. The group discusses issues and concerns they may have, or simply reflects on their first week of college. Geneva Glen's emphasis is on fun and provides a unique opportunity for new students to interact with upperclass members, faculty and administrators on an informal level This program has initiated many students' college involvement by showing them first hand the fun and excitement of college life. 35 Events Homecoming Court Back row: Mark Erickson, Chris Honi.Datr Geek.

Now it has grown into a tradition involving administration, students, alumni and the community.' Homecoming Director Knsti Davis said. As director. Davis faced the challenge of motivating a student body that in pre- vious years had been less than enthusiastic about homecoming activities. She cited a lack of direction surrounding the purpose of the week as a significant factor for an uncnthusiastic student body. The purpose of homecoming has been so vague in previous years. It got to the point where it was kept up because it is such a tradition. Feedback from students allowed it to become more focused.' she said. Earlier this year. Davis formed a committee that involved various facets of the University for a brainstorming session. The group focused on finding activities that would get the campus involved. Included in the long list of activities were royalty voting, an all-campus toga party at the field house, a traditional parade featuring the king and queen, as well as the notorious hockey face-off between DU and CC. A record number of students, faculty and alumni participated in this year's homecoming celebration and helped the hockey team gain victory between screaming chants — CC SUCKS. By Dawn M. Fowler 36 Events 17 Events THE GREAT ESCAPE While giving directions to a freshman from out of state, a University of Denver student may refer to the mountains as a point of reference. The newcomer may be told, “head toward the mountains. These westward protrusions do much more than just provide direction, they provide an escape for students from DU. In the fall, the Colorado mountains offer a great environment for outdoor activities. DU students can enjoy the warm weather for camping, hiking, and mountain climbing in the nearby areas. The change in the aspen leaves visible at this time of year, from a summery green to a beautiful mixture of gold and orange offer a relaxing atmosphere. Winter and spring, however, are the seasons when the mountains serve the most exciting purpose. The reason why so many students come from out of state to go to DU may just be for the slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The powder and short lift lines, not to mention the sunny warmth of Colorado offer plcasent sur-prises to any Easterner who has grown up skiing in cold, icy conditions on mountains with excessive lift lines. The high-speed lifts recently introduced across the state play an elementary role in giving more ski time to the avid skiers. With the powder, sun and fun of excellent skiing within an hour and a half drive from campus, a perfect study break is readily available to any student. Although the day before that 20-pagc research paper is due. skiing may not be quite appropriate, any other day of exploration in the warm sun is enough to brighten anyone's outlook! One of the great advantages of the DU campus'is its location. With the Colorado Rockies so close in proximity, a student has easy access to a great escape! 38 University of Denver ALPINE CLUB 39 Events Each year, for over a quarter of a century. when the gray of winter quarter threatens the sanity of the entire student body. Winter Carnival comes to the rescue. 1988 was no exception ...well, almost. A new ski resort an added week of on-campus events and a third night in the mountains provided students with an extra shot of relief from their academic routine and contributed to the unprecedented success of DlTs favorite tradition. The most surprising change involved moving the program from its longtime home in Steamboat Springs to the southern Rockies resort of Crested Butte. Winter Carnival co-chairs Joe Bagan and Furman Brown began looking for alternate locations early in 1987 when they were dissatisfied with the accommodations available in Steamboat Springs “We were concerned as to how the campus would react to the change.' noted Brown, “but we knew that Crested Butte was perfect for Winter Carnival Unlike Steamboat, everything was centrally located, which allowed the staff to house DU students near each other, not miles away. In addition, the party facilities, perfectly suited for hundreds of college revellers, provided plenty of space for the special events directed by senior Shannon Kelly and junior Tara Cuda. The Winter Carnival staff of 14 coordinated a host of daily events such as continental breakfasts, snow volleyball, and a BBQ. as well as. packed nightly parties. The move to Crested Butte, however, was not the only major alteration of the program. A week of events in Denver extended the carnival to a ten day affair with participation from many different campus departments. Bagan describes the move as an effort to “-.make Winter Carnival a true ‘campus-wide' event Even if someone couldn't go to Crested Bune. we wanted them to be included. The week began with the big kickoff ‘Snow Ball’ at Phi Kappa Sigma, followed with events sponsored by the Department of Residence. various academic departments and student organizations. One notable program was the special presentation of the famed cult flick The Rocky Horror Picture Show.' Approximately 350 crazed film lovers filed into GCB auditorium for the showing. All were fully equipped with the essential apparatuses of any true Rocky Horror Fan: toast, toilet paper, lice, squirt guns, etc. All in all. Winter Carnival evolved into a grand scale program in 1988 which required tremendous dedication from the small staff of students, all of whom devoted a great deal of time to its successful completion.

Di� wn as Byron and Patricia ('hikes at Claire ( lainsoat is Blood Poetry Bloody Poetry’ opened the 1987-88 theatre season — a season marked by successful productions, and coming on the heels of prestige for the University’s theatre program. The story of four free-living poets in the early 1800s. Lord Byron. Percy Shelley. Mary Shelley and Claire Clair-monu “Bloody Poetry opened in early November to generally good reviews and sold out performances. The production starred Brendan Dawson as Lord Byron. Patricia Chilsen as Claire Clairmont. Suzanne Cordova as Mary Shelley and Chad Reingold as Percy Shelley Dtnvrr Post theatre cntic gave “Fefu and Her Friends three stars and a favorable review when the play opened in February. Heather Bean as Fefu led a cast which looked at women and their senses of self — asking that women make a choice between being a victim or a victim izer. Stern said that the “Fefu was “an intriguing play that warrants serious attention. DU s last theatre program ofTcnng for the season was Brendan Behan's The Hostage Tackling civil war. politics, bigotry and hatred. The Hostage opened in May. The theatre program also sponsored a Public Works series which worked in conjunction with groups outside the University to produce live drama The Hunger Artists’ production of “Come Back to the 5 and Dime Jimmy Dean. Jimmy Dean. the Lakewood Players’ production of Blade Man’ Amnesty International’s production of one act plays and the Rocky Mountain Theatre Guild's production of Kurt Vonnegut. Jr.’s Happy Birthday. Wanda June’ were all presented as part of the Public Works program. The theatre program s full season was highlighted by two local theatre-related events. The first was the announcement that Loretto Heights College would merge with Regis College — leaving Colorado without a fully-developed Department of Theatre. While Regis College spokesmen said the College intended to maintain some of Loretto Heights' dance program, they declined to be specific regarding the future of the theatre program. This within two years after DU’S decision to phase out its own Department of Theatre. The second event showed DU’S strength as a theatre program — with or without a program — as the Denver Drama Critics Circle gave DU the University’s first Circle awards for DlTs production of “Medea “Medea: A Noh Cycle’ had been presented last spring and the Critics Circle honored the production for best direction, costuming and choreography. DU was the only college program to receive awards from the Critics Circle. 44 Events Heather THREE STARS FOR “FEFU AND HER FRIENDS” Events Residence Halls: Away From Dorm Images A part of almost everyone's experience at DU has been living in the residence system, whether it was in a residence hall or an apartment hall. Dunng the 1987-88 school year, the University's four apartment halls and five residence halls housed approximately 1100 graduate and undergraduate students. The residence halls are occupied primarily by underclassmen, although Dunton Hall, on the northeast campus houses the University’s law students. Dunklce Hall, also on the northeast campus. is occupied by music students who commute to the main campus for nonmusic classes. Of the three residence halls on the main campus. Johnson-McFarlane. Centennial Halls and Centennial Towers. Towers has the largest percentage of upperclassmen. As a result, several floors in this building have been designated as upperclassmen floors. Each of the three halls has floors or wings which have been designated as study floors. Essentially this means that it is to be quiet all the time, except during the four specified ‘open hours.' The floor wing decides as a group when these open hours should be In the future, students will also be able to choose to live on a smoking or non-smoking floor wing Every floor or wing has a resident assistant whose primary concern is to build and maintain a community atmosphere on the floor wing. They stnvc to create a comfortable environment for students to live in. To this end. they plan activities for the wing, to get everyone together and to promote a community feeling They also work on developing relationships with students on an individual level. by Chris Bollinger Centennial Halls Events Basketball outside J-Mac 47 Rack row: (.eocje Ptaydoa. t nirrummrni Kdilor; ScoM Shdtoa.

The Pioneers are intended to represent what is best about the University of Denver. This collection of Pioneers is a tribute, at once, to the individual spirit of achievement and duty, and to the power of effort on behalf of a group. The proverbial “Old College Try” is embodied in the wisened wit of the older members of this group and in the search for the adventure of life shown by the student winners. It is an honor to recognize these men and women. We hope that members of the University community have learned as much from these Pioneers as we have learned from them. 49 Pioneers Lisa Alexander Because every now and then we need proof that kindness and some steady work pay off Lisa has been a member of Mortar Board and Delta Zeta. Her support for the University’s fundraising crew — in the form of tclcfund and alumni giving work — has produced the son of piecework that adds immeasurably to a big picture. She is one of the players that makes the win of the entire team likely. 50 Pioneers Because he's a big man on campus Big talent on the court big ideas in the boardroom and big heart A varsity basketball player. Kevin's other talents arc visible through his editorship of the University’s literary journal. Foothills. Because his bigtime political savvy has made a difference in his leadership of the Student Media Board and because his big impact will turn into big loss in June. And. because he's always got a big smile. Pioneers Furman Brown Because he's taken advantage of virtually every opportunity available at DU — and because his contributions to these activities have been genuine. Furman's work has included co-chairmanship of Winter Carnival, directorship of ACCESS, membership in the Chancellor's Leadership Corps. Phi Kappa Sigma and honorarics including Mortar Board and the Order of Omega. Because he was the perfect Homecoming King — a court jester at heart. 52 Pioneers Bess Copeland Because, in spite of her sorority-girl-from-Hades image. Bess has a will of iron and an admirable dedication to her convictions. A founding member of the Student Media Board, her chairmanship of the Board has mirrored her own strengthen' ing and maturation. She’s been a charter member of Rho Lambda and a member of Mortar Board. Her work on behalf of the Punhellenie Council has been good for Delta Gamma and great for the Greek system. Because when push came to shove, the lady with the pearls and the perfect veneer gave 'em heck. Pioneers Charles Cortese Because in limes of uncertainty, he's still the administrative voice who consistently rings in on the side of the student The Dean of the College sets an example which has not gone unnoticed, urging the balance between academics and all the other parts — the fun parts — of a college experience. The Dean has found his own balance — the admirable balance between wise guy and wise man. 54 - Pioneers Eari Duval Because this may be the biggest character at DU. A contagious enthusiasm for doing things right has allowed him to successfully serve as AUSA senator — revitalizing a freshman apprenticeship program, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and editor of the Year in Review. Because the flipside of Wilbur's wild-man giggle is the naive simplicity of an honest man. Pioneers Because she makes you want to forget real life — trading it for a Corona and some sun. The positions she's held show her penchant for a good time: president of the Programs Board. Delta Gamma's social chair, senior class programs officer and the Order of Omegas spiritual leader. Fun. fun. fun. Because a 'Hey. dude' from Sheila makes ull things serious so insignificant. 56 Pioneers Dave Geek Because his low-key seriousness gees things done. Kjppa Sigma has felt his presence. So have the Order of Omega and the Chancellor's Leadership Corps. And the AUSA Senate and Finance Committee are better off because of Dave's chairmanship Because the serious facade falls apart during his on-stage air band guitar solos. Very serious, indeed. Pioneers Because the sly smirk and reckless charm belie the fact that he learned something at DU — something about people and something about himself. If he had it to do again, he'd get involved earlier. As it is. he finishes his undergraduate career with the presidency of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the editorship of the Year in Review under his bell He's also a varsity athlete — captain of the swim team and an All-American swimmer. lies learned a confidence and style that only a good challenge can teach. Pioneers Colleen Jensen Because Colleen has ihe grit to Jo what may be the ugliest job at the University. As Director of Financial Aid. she is responsible for juggling the needs and realities of the institution along with the real life needs and fears of the student Because she knows that paying for school isnt much fun and she tempers financial reality with a compassion that makes the future seem possible. Pioneers — Shannon Kell) Because girlish good looks and giddy freshman giggles have given way to grace and a lively intelligence. The development of a fierce independence has coincided with Shannon's rise through the ranks of the AUSA Senate to the Chancellor’s Leadership Corps and an editor's spot on the Year in Review. A member of Alpha Gamma Delta, she's broken ground as the first woman to serve as president of the previously all-male Order of Omega Greek honorary. Because she's proof positive that nice girls don't always finish last. 60 0 Pioneers Clarice Lubchenco Because Clarice has cornered the market on cheer. After manning the front line in the office of the vice chancellor for student affairs for the better part of a decade, she has managed to maintain the most pleasant demeanor at DU. This in spite of being silent witness to the ups and downs of the lives of hundreds in the University community. A clever wit and devoted grandmother, our affection for Clarice is as real as her clear laugh. Pioneers Jon Niermann Because he's the comic relief in the often dry halls of academia. During stints on the AUSA Senate and the Chancellor’s Leadership Corps, as an officer of Kappa Sigma and the local BACCHUS chapter, as Geneva Glen cochair and as a member of Mortar Board and the Order of Omega. Jon provides the levity among the student body heavies. He's the punchline that's worth waiting to hear. 62 Pioneers Danice Rinderknecht Because there's a mischievous charm behind the shy smile and the cool style A founding member of the Student Media Board. Danice is the one to call when the going gets tough. A courageous member of the women's volleyball team, her leadership is more than titular Titles arc part of Danice's experience, however — she's served as president of Gamma Phi Beta and Mortar Board and was elected to membership in the Order ot Omega. She's an update of the all-American ideal. 63 Pioneers Dave Sauerwein Because bright lights and big city haven't taken away what's best about a small town boy. A member of the Chancellor's Leadership Corps, a former resident assistant und a member of Mortar Board. Dave's activities are as diverse as the people he will likely serve during his career. Because his bright-eyed. aw. shucks' style is in welcome contrast to the screaming neon styles of usual student leaders. 64 The Greeks Experiencing some of its most dramatic changes since the late 1960s, the University’s Greek system threw its late '60s decline, opting for a burst in growth. For the first time in more than a decade, the number of men belonging to fraternities neared the 50% mark. Highlighting the growth of the fraternity crew were the recognition of Chi Phi as one of DLTs houses and reconditioned housing for Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In spite of the autumn closure of Alpha Chi Omega, following a period of declining numbers, the sorority system bounced back by voting to allow Sigma Kappa to return to campus. As always, there were standouts during the year. Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Gamma were cited for their philanthropic efforts on behalf of. respectively. Special Olympics and Aid to the Blind. Fraternity athletes were honored for their endeavors on the intramural fields — ATO’s Steve Bclmear. and as members of the varsity basketball team — SAE’s Dave Collignon. and lacrosse team — Lambda Chi Alpha's Craig Orlando. Outstanding Freshman awards went to SAE's Drew Regttz. Michelle Rose of Gamma Phi Beta and David Feeder of ATO were named Outstanding Sophomores and Lambda Chi's Chris Adams and Delta Zcta's Robin Hass took home top junior awards. Sigma Chi Scott Bussell and Gamma Phi Danicc Rin-derknech! were named the University’s Outstanding Senior grecks The Intcrfratcmity and Panhcllemc Councils presented to Dr. Tom Goodalc the first award in his name — a traveling award which will honor outstanding alumni or faculty support of the Greek system.

The Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority hosts a unique philanthropy that is a guaranteed pleaser when it comes out each Fall. The AGDs put together a calendar in which some of DU s most sought-after hunks are featured as models. Yet this year, according to Chairperson Jennifer Rust “We re going to change the formal a bit. and possibly expand the model search to the entire campus instead of just the fraternities.

On courts and fields and rinks throughout the region, DU's Pioneer athletes worked for themselves and on behalf of their University. The team spirit which they exercised among themselves provided the University community with a reason to cheer — from the hockey teams early Number 1 national ranking to the baseball team's late-year winning streak. The energy of the basketball and lacrosse teams perfectly complemented the grace and agility of the gymnasts and volleyball players. And, win or lose, the inspired performances of each athlete, varsity or intramural, provided DU with a reason to cheer — to cheer the individual and the team — our team. 80 Ghosts The Pioneers spent the 1960s enjoying their preeminence in the world of college hockey. In a span of just 10 years. DU won four NCAA championships and five WCHA titles, more than any other team. Eleven different players were named all-Americans. and one veteran. Craig Patrick. would become DU’S Athletic Director nearly 20 years after his last appearance in a Pioneer uniform. Today, the young Pioneers promise to threaten the established giants again, and build yet another Denver sports dynasty-in the near future. 81 Sports Back row: John Philliptoa.

Grand Canyon College team. 1-0. after winning five of their seven previous games. Then they traveled south to two Division I teams. New Mexico and Sam Houston State. “Our trip to New Mexico was successful. Byrden said. We had a lot of injuries, but our reserves stepped in and played outstanding. Although soccer is a team effort Byrden had several key players that he and others looked to. including goal keeper Musaed Al-Sanad. Al-Sanad averaged less than one goal per game, and his effort kept the others motivated. Byrden said. He inspired confidence in the rest of the team. said Byrden. Sweeper Mustafa Noorzai added to the competitive spirit Noorzai acted as a team leader, giving 100 percent every game, according to Byrden. Noorzai played in all 18 contests. Two others leaving notable marks on the 1987 winning season were Eric Cole and Christian Falkcnburg. Cole is described as a tower of strength and Falkenburg did amazing things in front of the goal. according to Byrden. The unsung hero of the team, however, was Kevin Walker, from Bear Creek in Denver. “Kevin played five or six different positions and never had a bad game. Byrden said. The combination of talents among the men's soccer players and the coach resulted in a banner year. Coach Byrden is proud of his team, and he wryly summed it up as “a very pleasing year. By Shelley Snow X2 Sports Lisa Takemoto Women’s Soccer 12-5 Record Closes Competitive Season Say goodbye to the days of an average women's soccer team and say hello to a compctctive team. The DU women's soccer team had an outstanding season this year, with a record of 12-5. A few of the season highlights include a 1-0 win over Metro State, arch rival of the team since the program's inception, as well as a mere 1-0 loss to Colorado College, ranked in the top four nationally. A team trip to California also stands as a significant time in the team's season. They faced some lough competition and had the opportunity to do some sightseeing too. Defensively, the team was lead by the consistent play of junior Kandcc Stapp. senior Jennifer Schaefer, and the outstanding goalkeeper. Diane Me Kinney. Junior and captain. Lisa Petrone once again led the Pioneers in scoring. Petrone had 21 goals and 7 assists for a total of 49 points this season, and this was the third season in which she broke the school record for total points. Junior Christy Calbcck and freshman Vicki Snowden also contributed to the pioneer offense. The midfield was controlled by junior captain Lisa Takemoto and freshman Kelly Doyle who has grown into a great asset for the team over the year. Hard work, dedication, talent, and most of all. the ability to play together as a unit is what made DU a solid team this year. Pioneer women's soccer has developed into a strong program over the past four years and continues to work its way to the top. By Lisa Petrone 83 Sports From row: I)r.

Assistant Trainer Mari lavou Hockey: Sometimes Up, Sometimes Down The Pioneer hockey team took a rollercoaster ride this year, and the up and down ride did not end until the season was over. DU jumped out impressively with a 7-0 start on the season and a Number One pre-season ranking which they carried through their quick beginning, but then things seemed to fall apart The Pioneers wrnt to Michigan Tech for a two-game series on October 30 and 31. winning convincingly the first night 8-6. but then being disppointed 3-4 the next. DU then proceeded to lose four in a row to Wisconsin and North Dakota. From this point on. the ride on the coaster would take its biggest dip of the season. From October 30 through January 3. DU would drop 10 of its 17 contests while losing top player Dave Shields for the season to a shoulder injury. Things hit bottom for the Pioneers as they spilt a scries to a not-so-impressive U.S. International team in San Diego Coach Ralph Backstrom. however, never gave up hope for his young, yet talented squad. He knew that his underclassmen had more potential that any other team in the nation, and he was certain his juniors and seniors could take up the slack. He said that one problem DU had was its youth. He said the age of his team had an adverse affect on their discipline. “Considering the last two years were primarily rebuilding years and we still finished in third place, that’s a good sign of where well be in two years or less.” backstrom said “Wc need to work on cutting down on penalties and become more disciplined. Of the 26 guys we had on the roster. 22 of them arc coming back. One thing which people seemed to look to. however, was the problem DU had with losing contests mid-way through the year. However, Backstrom excuses this because 14 of the 18 games were on the road and it is hard to win in Division I hockey on the road.” Whai seemed to turn the Pioneers' midseason slump around was a strong home stand for the team. From January 8 until the end of the season. DU played 12 of 17 games at home and finished the regular season at 20-14-2 with a 19-14-2 record in the WCHA for third place. One thing which distinctively hurt the team was its pre-season Number One ranking. Backstrom said he thought this could be considered an omen. “Wc set our goals to finish in the top four (in the WCHAX” Backstrom said. And in my eyes a Number One ranking doesn't mean anything. Next year we should be pick somewhere in the and middle and I don't think this will hun us like it did this year.” Two high points in the season came against Team U.S.A. and the completion of a four-game sweep over arch-rival Colorado College. DU lost to Team U.S.A. 2-4 but kept the score close up until the end of the third period when there were only seconds remaining. At that point. DU called a time out to put six men in on offense. Unfortunately for the Pioneers. Team U.S A took the puck and scored an empty net goal. The season finally ended painfully as the Pioneers were swept by Minncsota-Duluth on February 26 and 27 in the WCHA's first round of the playoffs. by Mark Crist 84 Sports Eric Murano.

The DU men's basketball team had it all in the 1987-88 season It began in November when head coach Dick Peth and assistant A! Weatherly gambled on the starters They shuffled and supplanted They shifted and shook. Finally, a team unfolded, strong and unyielding. “Everyone just fell into his role.” Feth said. And after an inconsistent 7 7 start the Pioneers picked up and pounded out 12 victories from 13 tries. The contrast between winning and losing ended. In the second half of the season. DU won seven out of eight road games, and beginning on January 21. the men never looked back. They grabbed ten consecutive victories. Senior Pete Fallcrs career steals set a school record and the 71 steals from this year tied a single season setting Injuries, occasional throughout the season, hit home hard, chilling DU'S chances in the playofTs Record block-shot setter Ira Marge was out Several lost platen added pressure, and desire to win Everybody had to pick up the slack. Fcth said. “At various times in the season, we had good moments from everyone. However, at the end of the season, practices saw only nine players. A near two-week layofT between the season and the playoffs hurt the Pioneers, who had been on a winning streak. They lost to the Colorado School of Mines in the first round. It was tough losing to Mines, especially since we had done so well. Peth said. But with the records laid, the heart-pounding games played, and the phenomenal beginning-to-end progress made, this season is. without a doubt, a season to remember.

Early in the year, starting point guard Sue Scott was lost for the season with a knee injury. Just a short time later, talented newcomer Andrea Suman went out for the year with a similar knee injury. The rest of the Pioneer squad did its best to rebound from these two losses, but it is quite difficult to replace your floor leader and offensive director. The DU offense was paced by guards Michelle Studcr and Shcriannc Southworth. For most of the season, the pair was among the national leaders (NCAA-II) in three point field goal percentage and three point field goals made per game. Along with Scott. Studcr. Southworth. Mackicy. Suman. and Quincy, the other letter winners returning next year include center Chris Coker, ccntcr forward Allison Raymond, guard Amy Engle, guard Mariann Johnston, forward Becki Legg. forward centcr Kelly Deaton, forward Kellie Kampenga. and guard forward Susan Johnson.

The highlights of the 1987 season were a 3 0 win over the University of Northern Colorado, second place at the Chadron State Tournament and a fifth place finish at the Metro State Tournament Head coach Charles Ellis agrees with strong setter Beth Kuwata when she says. Beating UNC was definitely the high point of the season bcacuse UNC is nationally ranked and their only conference loss was to us The seniors on the team. Heather Campbell. Linda Harrod. Debbie Kirch. Danice Rinderknecht and Kuwata all finished their careers with impressive records. Four-year letter winners included Campbell Harrod and Kuwata. and three-year letter winners were Kirch and Rinderknecht Kuwata and Harrod were Continental Divide Conference All-Star Team members for three years and one year respectively.

Led by a solid core ol six gymnasts, the Pioneers smashed the high team score not once, but twice this year. First, going against an injury-plagued University of New Mexico squad, the Pioneers leaped to an all-time high 185.75. Then, one week later on a warm Saturday night in March, a jam-packed Ficldhousc crowd witnessed yet another record-an astonishing 186.15 against Brigham Young University. Highlighting the Pioneers' outstanding season, senior Tina Johnson and Kathy Milberger as well as graduate student. Diana Dctweiler made their final stints at DU ones to remember. These three all-arounders consistently scored above the 36.00 mark, enabling the Pioneers to beat opponents such as the University of Missouri and Houston Baptist But. more importantly, they set the standards for the next wave of Pioneer gymasts Perhaps tidal wave would be a better way to describe them. Having already proved themselves as superior athletes, junior Kathy Detwcilcr and freshman Knstin Gut , complimented by Jenny Setnicker will bring the Pioneers even greater rewards in the near future. Detwciler blossomed into DLTs finest vaulter this season, performing her full on-full off with grace, style and composure. Setnicker nearly etched her name in the record books with a season high 37.55 all-around score against UNM. She missed by just .05. Maybe next year! So. as the 1987-88 season undergrads bid farewell to three of the best athletes I)U has ever seen, three talented gymnasts will fill their shoes next year. And. with the help of some new recruits.

Metropolitan State College twice, and Colorado College, the Pioneers won the 15th Annual Inter-mountain League Championships.dcfeat-ing CU. Mines. Metro, and CC. Furthermore, the Pioneers placed second at the Colorado Conference Meet, behind the Colorado School of Mines. Of the eleven DU swimmers. 10 qualified for the NAIA National Championships which were held in Florida from March 3-6. It was here that the Pioneers proved their abilities and strengths Of all the teams in the NAIA Division. DU placed 5th at Nationals. This was quite an accomplishment considering that DLTs team was small in comparison to their competitor’s teams. Seven of DU’S swimmers were All-Americans (which means they placed in the top eight at Nationals). Included were Jesus Cnrndc (freshman. Venezuela). Francisco D'Alessandro (freshman. Venezuela). Noel Droomcr (junior. South Africa). Bill Hildebrand (senior and team captain. California). Ignacio Jiminc2 (senior. Venezuela). Sean Knoph (junior. California), and John Pool (sophomore.

The DU women swimmers include: Cari Castens (junior), and Sarah Drolettc (sophomore). Megan MeMorrow (freshman). Kirsti Paulson (junior). Gayle Pratt (freshman), and Sarah Shultz (junior). The diver for DU was Linda Jankclow (senior). The team captains this year were Sarah Shultz and Kirsti Paulson. Although the team was very small, the women swimmers proved that quality not quantity is what matters. Because of the number of DU swimmers at the meets. the women were placed in the maximum amount of events allowed in order to accumulate as many points as possible. Throughout the entire season, the Lady Pioneers worked hard and constantly supported one another. The hard work and determination paid off at the final meet of the season, the Continental Divide Conference Championships Last year the Pioneers placed fourth at Conference, and were hoping to do as well in 1988. Suprisingly. the women did as well and better than last year In addition to placing third at Conference only behind Air Force and University of Northern Colorado, the women broke eight pool records. Kirsti Paulson won the 500 yard free style event and broke the record as well as the record in the 1650 yard (I (nile)cvcni Captain Sarah Shultz broke DLTs record in the 200 yard I.M. and Gayle Pratt, in the 200 butterfly event.

During winter quarter, the team went indoors where the) practiced twice a week, ran stairs in the ice arena, lifted weights and did sprints in the gym Spring quarter was when the team encountered disappointing times. The Pioneers lost three of ther top six players from fall and had to adjust to a new line up. This was a factor in the loss of ux of the first seven matches of spring season Included in the losses were Metro. CU. Regis College (twicei. CSU and the Air Force Academy. The win came against Colorado College Head Coach Marty Steinlcy predicts that the record will probably continue along the same pattern as the beginning of spring In light of the young nature of the team. I didn't expect a great record this year.' Steinlcy said. The players did the best they could They gave it their best shot and deserve credit for that The Pioneers were led by sophomore Juan Ribas who won districts last year and also won one round at the nationals Ptaving in the number two position was David Garden, a sophomore and third on the lineup was sophomore Bill lacovelli.

The team's final record was an impressive 7-4. Losses came against the notoriously competitive teams of The United Stoics Air Force Academy and Virginia Military Institute The hard fought losses were close at that, 16-10 and 13-10 respectively, and the team feels proud of their performance in both games We played VM1 which is an NCAA Division I team in the East Coast Conference. and we did extremely well considering the amount of injuries, as well as the other teams reputation as a tough group.

We won twice in Utah, beating Brigham Young University and the University of Utah.” Top scorers. Joe DiFranccsco. Toby Sutherland and Mark Luckinbill contributed to the wins considerably as midfielders and attack respectively. Also playing a major role were Drew Brucck-ner. who once again proved his innate abilities, as well as Neil Ome. a senior “middie’ and Andrew Wright a senior attack. Defensemen. Craig (Rocky) Orlando. John McClure, Craig Martino and Flaherty, with the help of outstanding goalie Kent Martino prevented much potential scoring by opponents. Their part in improving DlTs record and overall reputation among lacrosse schools was instrumental. We won almost all of our games and had a very' respectable season despite our losses due to injuries. Flaherty said. “Our program is continually improving and it becomes evident as we beat Eastern Conference schools who have typically bener lacrosse teams’ Sam Carpenter, head coach from Washington and Lee University, and the assistant coaches. Jim Gyory and Dan Schaeffer from Syracuse and the University of Baltimore: Maryland Campus also proved to be valuable assets to the consistently progressing team.

The team compiled a 24 and 16 record in 1987 and qualified for the District VU playoffs for the second year in a row. At the end of the season, seven seniors moved on. making way for nine new freshmen and four transfers. The nucleus of the team is lacking in substantial playing time and this could be a downfall for the Pioneer sluggers. Early in the season, head coach of 26 years. Jack Rose. said.Thc success of our team depends wholly on how the new guys perform. If they play at their potential. well have a good year, if not this could be a very long season.' As the season unfolded. Rose's wish for a good year came true. The Pioneers entered the championship season with a 27-19 record including II straight late-season wins. The team was led by senior captains Craig Chamncss and Dave Donovan, and the core of the team is all undergraduates.

Dave DeMatteis and Will Morris, both transfer students, will occupy second base and short respectively To finish up at the hot comer. freshman Jim Elliot got the nod.

So. at a university where stress is a way of life for everyone, there arc a myriad of hangouts frequented by even the most laid-back DU student The first one that comes to the vast majority's mind is the ever-present Bor- der. After all. what would we all do without those Wednesdays. Thursdays and Fridays spent in the comer restaurant which miraculously converts to a student-filled nightclub after 10:30? Especially this year, now that the once sure-thing — Wednesday night's Studio 84 at the pub — is a thing of the past. Other hot spots included Margarita Bay. an infamous hangout of the illusive Order of Omega, and Pearl Street Grill, conveniently located within stumbling distance.
