Student Living Seniors Your father, mother, brother or sister might have lived there before you, but for the year it was yours to call home. Living in any of the University areas, a Greek house, or off campus made little difference to the University, yet this is where much of each person ' s University life was spent in the varied activities of the day. Living as a student was part of being a student. Editor: Karin Ruckhaus Page: 226 It took most four years, others longer, but all were members of the class of ' 70. Each of the seniors pictured in this section have become members of a brotherhood. Most of these people do not know one another, nor are they likely to, but they all carry with them some product of the University. The many hours of studying, drinking, cramming, partying, or whatever else they indulged in are over, but neither the people or the years should ever be forgotten. Editors: Nancy Operacz John Shyavitz The University is here, bricks, concrete, and glass, permanently interwoven into study halls and classrooms. The Students are transients, each year some leave and new ones replace them. Each new student brings with him a special individuality, a personality. The culmination of the students and the University is the University Community, a place for learning, both academic and social. This is the theme of the University, and the theme of this Index.

l gg0 fci,. Academics Good profs and bad profs, blue books and leaky Bic pens, desks loaded with grafitti, and noisy radiators came at you day after day, week after week. Soon comes finals and the end of the semester, cramming for that last exam, or suddenly comes STRIKE and a new grading policy. While academics was departments, courses, and profs, it was the year of a learning experience. Editors: Sue Brodeur Anita Karcz Page: 18 Participation A most everyone participated in the organized mayhem that ran through the year . . . Free University City, Bill Cosby and Fat Albert, Garber ' s Gorillas, Sly and the Family Stone, N. I. T., the fabulous Supremes, and right down to the STRIKE. Participation is a look at the events of the year. Editors: Barbara Brecher Janice Plotkin Page: 66 Activities A University has to be more than books and lectures. It is the activities and organizations which round out a students education. The organizations at the University ranged from the traditional and straight to the radical. This is the kind of University that we saw in 1970; a mixture of people and life styles, and this is what they will remember about the University. Editor: Ray Stetson Page: 186
