Preface For far too long the concept of a yearbook has car- ried the same weak connotation for students everywhere .. a collection of awkward candid photographs accompanied by toothache-sweet feature stories and trite school spirit catch phrases. The 1988 Volunteer staff decided early on that producing another volume of such content was not our goal. Instead, we chose to assemble not just a yearbook but a true book which records on a personal level various events of university importance. Suggestions from the student audience led to a revised approach. The Volunteer is divided into three main sections, each representing a segment of the university's final year on the quarter system. These sections contain chapters corresponding to each month of the academic season. The majority of space is devoted to photographs organized chronologically and com- plemented by concise stories of monthly news, enter- tainment and sports. To further develop the more reader-friendly project and keep confusion to a minimum, we arranged the faces of our People section alphabetically regardless of classification. A third innovation is this year's recognition of students from international backgrounds. Many foreign students previously have had no real concep- tion of what this book is about and consequently have missed out on the coverage they deserve. Through Diane Cudahy at International House, students from as many other nations as possible were asked, What will you take back to your country besides a degree? They responded in their own languages and individual handwritings, and their words appear periodically throughout the book. Translations are in the appendix. Finally, the changes in the book's content demanded changes in design. Since yearbook companies are not prepared to process the format we developed, a local commercial printer was contracted. The result is a horizontal book done in a fashion unprecedented to our knowledge. It is our hope that as you read the 1988 Volunteer you will take pride in your accomplishments here just as we do in ours. Always consider the efforts put forth and keep this book out on the coffee table, not hidden among memories in your closet. - Brandon White III
