He has served WPI as a student, a professor, and a dean for nearly four decades. The list of his accomplishments, while at WPI, is indeed long and impressive. Perhaps anyone who dedicates his entire adult life to the education of youth could claim the same. Certainly most schools, businesses, and other institutions have one or two loyal people who have given exceptional service. In this respect, WPI has been very lucky. Students, faculty, and alumni have all taken active roles to develop WPI and educate its students. However, few have committed the time and energy of Dean Grogan. He has accrued scientific and service awards illustrating his extraordinary devotion to his profession and his school. He is a former national president of the brotherhood of Phi Kappa Theta. But perhaps most important of all, he was the single most influential person during the implementation of the Plan, and he has dynamically led a constant effort to retain the quality of the Plan ever since, including recommendations this past year to upgrade the Plan. His work has had such results that this very school is a tribute to him and his colleagues who set the Plan in motion. A good fifty years from now. Dean William Grogan will have faded into the relative obscurity of a Ralph Earle or an M. Lawrence Price, remembered perhaps only by a plaque on a wall or by a faint smile of a student ' s recollection. However, right now we have the opportunity to thank him for the time and devotion he has given to this school. With greatest admiration and love, this yearbook is dedicated to him, 2 • Dedication Student Life.14 Sports.32 Clubs.96 Academics.118 Greeks.142 Events.174 Class of ' 83.196 Table of Contents • 3 4 • Opening Opening • 5 PS . 6 • Opening Opening • 7 8 • Opening l MmSi ' mmm Mmt � .;J 10 • Opening o 12 • Opening Trick or Treat? At Tech, Halloween was not sleepy In fact it seemed rather creepy Goblins and ghouls Infested the school Some of them looked a bit gweepy Halloween went over well By the costumes it was easy to tell The parties were great Some went a bit late And witches staggered the streets till they fell Halloween Student Life • 17 That’s Entertainment?

Fraternity party. The two common words cause a variety of reactions in people: a severe loss of color in the face of a freshman ' s mother, a wide grin on the face of a freshman, a worn half smile on the face of a senior, another gray hair and increased blood pressure in the Student Affairs office, a flaring of nostrils and clenching of teeth in an area resident, and a twinkle in the eye of an alumnus. This year fraternity parties evoked another reaction from the Office of Student Affairs. A number of new guidlines were established to help control this aspect of WPI social life. The guidelines limited the number of parties each night and required registration of all open parties. New rules also specified that an of duty police officer and a liquor license be obtained for each party. The most controversial requirements were a 2:00 am closing and party poster censoring. These new rules dampened many spirits, but fraternity parties continued to be the major source of entertainment on campus despite the new guidelines. Fraternity parties went on complete with unforgettable beer flooded floors, slow moving crowds, foosball, beer, rock bands, drinking games, beer, togas, party posters, beer, bathroom lines, pick-up lines, and of course, beer. 18 • Student Life Fraternity Parties Student Lite • 19 Twas The Week Before Christmas ' Twas the week before Christmas, And all across Tech, Not a creature was stirring, But most students were wrecked! Though projects were pressing, And course work was tough, It was blown off for a while, Enough was enough! Invitations were abundant, Plans for parties were big, Rumors of blowouts: ATO —KAP, PhiSigSig. Techies in chiffon, Gweeps in jackets and ties, Formal parties aplenty, They came as little surprise. The parties were festive; Lasted ' till the wee hours you know, New chapters were written in Love Under the Mistletoe . Many truly believe that While staggering home those nights, They saw eight swift reindeer And a fat, drunk man in flight. At the end of the season, The streamers came down with a sigh. Empty bottles and cans collected, Another Christmas at WPI. Christmas Parties Student Life • 21 A Typical Techie Day 4 4 83 Dear Diary, Today was another typical day at WPI. Here are some of the scintillating highlights: — Daka was in full swing when I got up, this meant another cold shower. — late for calc. . .again — I think I failed the calc test. I gave up after the first question . . . “find a vector orthogonal to . . . I should have taken a Greek test instead. — Hamburgers for lunch for the 25th day in a row. At least Daka is creative, no two of those burgers tasted the same. — Quantum mechanics has me lost. Today I learned I could fit a 10 meter pole in a 15 meter garage by running 200 million meters per second. I still don ' t know what happens when I reach the back wall. — Finally I got time on the MV8000, and it crashed. The lab monitors said they couldn ' t bring it back up until 3 white mice could be sacrificed to it. — After finding out that supper was the famous Poo-Poo platter, I went out to the “B for pizza. — I got another green envelope sent out by the Dean of Forms and Letters, using an alias of course. — Another floor meeting tonight. Topic: How to get more than 5 girls to come to the next floor party. — Debugged my program, and finished my homework till 1 AM. — I can hear the radios blaring, so it must be time for bed. Dorm Life 22 • Student Life I The Good Life Scattered around WPI are all those familiar three story tenement-like houses. They would go rather unnoticed if it were not for the fact that those and similar houses provide a great deal of the housing for WPI students . . . for what it is worth. As students mature (and discover that the Office of Residential Life wants nothing to do with them) these houses seem to be the answer to a prayer. Through the splinter-edged door and up the creaky steps lies an apartment which offers the best of two worlds. Once living in the apartment the student enjoys the free time of academia and the freedom of living on his own. Luxuries such as having parties, spending a day on the front lawn (doubling as a beach), or just relaxing with a friend become everyday occurances. Other advantages soon become apparent. In the newfound digs, students get to pay bills: electricity, gas, hot water, phone, food, transportation, and rent. They get to join the never-ending battle against cockroaches and other tiny friends that visit cookie -V, cupboards. A select few are lucky enough to live underneath someone whose favorite pastime is playing Pink Floyd at 3:00 am or have a phanthom landlord who enters the twilight zone every time the toilet backs up. Everyone learns to appreciate mom. Shopping, washing dishes, and cleaning the bathroom soon replace studying, afternoons on the Quad, and fraternity parties. Macaroni and cheese, tuna fish, peanut butter and jelly, pizza, and spaghetti take the place of beef, vegetables, and various other foods that are supposed to be good for you. Apartment living helps prepare the student for the real world that awaits after graduation ... if he still wants any part of it.

The faithful few of Daka ' s morning crew, stumble out of bed instead. As another day begins, over 1000 Techies know where, for financial survival they must go. There are lots of jobs around this school, including the saving of lives at our pool. There are books to be shelved, towels to fold, candy and other essentials to be sold. And with all the calculus and science we take, you would be surprised what good secretaries engineers make! Typewriters fly, and telephones ring, but the skilled Techie can handle anything. There are mailboxes to be stuffed, tours to be held, papers to be corrected and circuit boards to weld. All day long the work goes on and on, even through the night with SNaPpers till dawn. For there ' s more to school than pizza and books as everyone knows, There are jobs to be done as Tech ' s work-study force clearly shows. 26 • Student Life Work-Study Jobs I m m m fl V} Student Life r ’ T t !.. , •.-■ -- 9 Student Life Intra Sweat What is more distracting than a Tuesday night Slimey Dimey, draws a crowd to rival happy hour in the pub and gets Alumni Gym rowdier than a wrestling match? Intramural Sports. Hundreds of students participate in the eight intramural competitions which take place each year under the direction of coach Mel Massuco. The competition for the prized Intramural Cup is heated and its honor is sought after by fraternities and independents. The 83 intramural year began with a football season which was cut short unexpectedly. Two divisions were formed and 136 games were played. PARS defeated SAE to win the Division I title and the Budmen beat Sig Pi in the Division II finals. Basketball followed during B term with three divisions and 44 teams. Lamda Chi, Sig Ep, and ALBOE won their respective divisions. The wrestling meet found ATO victorious over Sig Ep by just two points. A new competition, floor hockey was added this year. The addition was very successful and Lambda Chi beat KRAP for the title. The Grease also won the swimming meet by a large margin. As usual, the spring contests decided a close battle for the cup. Fiji won the track meet and then defeated SAE in the softball finals to capture the honors. SAE was second in the points race followed by Lamda Chi. «k.SON� 126 fbv Intramural Sports Student Life • 29 Cheers! Happy Hour. . . pinhead . . .

So began W.P.I. ' s 1982 football campaign. Gone to graduation were Bob Montagna, Chalmers Brothers, and John Sancousy. But there were plenty of people back from the 1981 squad that went 6-2. Co-captains Bob Bois and Joe Phalen were ready to lead what was probably the most talented and experienced football team that Worcester Polytechnic Institute has ever offered. This senior class which included such standouts as Chip Biena, John Salvadore, Rudy Beaupre, and John Gorman, was Coach Weiss ' first recruited class to complete four years of participation. Hopes were high as the season began after three very successful scrimmages. Farleigh Dickinson was W.P.I. ' s first opponent and they proved to be no match for the explosive offense. Behind the running of Jim Leonardo, and Chip Biena, and the strong defense of Joe Phalen, and Jim Jackman, W.P.I. easily handed Farleigh Dickinson its most convincing loss of the year (44-0). The Coast Guard game proved to be the first test of the team ' s character. The Engineers fell behind 25-9 early in the second quarter and it wasn ' t until the third quarter when Chuck Hickey caught the winning touchdown pass that gave the men in maroon the lead for good. Jim Leonardo won the coveted Gold Helmet Award for his efforts in the game. Mike Dagle, Joe Phalen, and Ron Ranauro played outstanding games in the teams second win. The 59-44 final constitutes the highest points scored in any one game all season. The following week, Coach Weiss 1982 STARTED WITH A ROAR 34 • Sports Asst.

The offensive attack in the 26-3 victory was lead by sophomore quarterback John Scacciotti and running back Chip Biena. The defense, which had bent but never broke, was once again lead by senior captain Joe Phalen. The defense as a whole had one of its best efforts of the year. The team went on the road the following week also. The opponent, a very scrappy University of Lowell squad. The Engineers emerged from the mud covered field with a 18-0 win. Freshman Nate Hanson and sophomore Eddie Mackey combined for 22 tackles which aided the team in their second shutout of the season. For the fifth game of the season, W.P.I. found themselves on the road again. This week it was Hofstra in Long Island, New York were the game was played on an unfamiliar artificial turf. Hofstra had jumped to a quick 28-0 lead before the Engineers could adjust to the new surface.

But the Hofstra ball control game proved to be too much for the defense to handle. Tight ends Mark Hannigan and Mike Grassis were both on the receiving end of John Scacciotti touchdown passes. A week passed and the W.P.I. team found themselves at home for a contest against Bates. The friendly atmosphere was not enough as the team lost 21-12. The defense once again played a strong game, but the offense again lead by Chip Biena could not muster up enough points. During the loss to Bates, John Scacciotti connected with John Salvadore for the catch of the season, a forty yard touchdown pass. The second to last game of the season was against one of the biggest rivals, R.P.I. Once again the defense held the opponent to minimal scoring, and the offense could not get it together. W.P.I. lost the game 7-3.

With another exceptional defensive display, the game was won by a score of 27-14. This years version of the W.P.I. football had many key ball players. The offensive line including Mike Valiton at wide receiver, did an exceptional job clearing the way for the teams trio of outstanding running backs. The defense had six seniors all of whom had great seasons. Joe Phalen, Jim Jackman, John Gorman, Dave Femia, Brian Fuller, and Jim Housekeeper are all going to be tough people to replace.

A Amaro goes one on one. In a season where the tendency was to play at the level of their opponent, W.P.I. posted a 6-6-2 record. The Engineers opened strongly with a 2-0 win over Bently College. This game was dedicated to Rob Agar, a respected member of the team who unfortunately passed on before the season began. The team was highly emotional in the game, and this proved to be the secret to their success and failure throught the season. The tougher teams on the schedule, Holy Cross, Hartford, Brandeis, and Babson all experienced difficulty with the Engineers. The Brandeis match was marred by a malee, and the ensuing penalties left Tech shorthanded. At this point, Brandeis broke the game open with two goals. This was the only game of the season where W.P.I. had no chance of winning the game in the last ten minutes. The Worcester squad was also guilty of sub-Par performances against Coast Guard, Nichols, and Bowdoin. Seniors Kevin Murray, Steve King, and Captain Joe Sheehan provided the leadership for the team along with sophomore stand out Amaro Goncalves and juniors Marty Ferguson and Jerry St. Pierre.

Blinded by the light. Kathy Cronin keeps an eye on the action. For the second year in a row, the womens field hockey team began and ended their season on a positive note. Not only did they have a winning record of 14-6-1, but they also captured two championship titles and finished third in the Northeastern part of the country. The first title was the city championship, at which WPI defeated Anna Maria and then Clark in the finals. Later, the girls went on to compete in the state tournament. Consistent playing and teamwork were the key factors in the victories over Fitchburg State and seeded Anna Maria which brought WPI the state title. The Northeast Regional Tourney turned out to be the girl ' s final stopping point. The team traveled to Ithica, New York where they met Cortland State College in the first round. Despite a strong first half, Cortland managed to defeat Tech by a score of 4-3. WPI refused to be completely beaten, and the engineers won the consolation match against Smith College. This earned them third place in the Northeast — a spot of which Coach Sue Chapman, Assistant Coach Pat DeCaire, and the team could certainly be proud. Only the top twelve nationally ranked teams were selected for the Nationals, and Tech was not one of them. The team did receive Flonorable Mention in the poll. Another honor was bestowed upon four of the girls as well. Terese Kwiatkowski, Chris Clancy, Karen Brock, and Kelli Mackey were acknowledged by the Northeast Field Hockey Association by being selected to their first, second, and third All-Star teams, respectively. The end of the season marked the loss of only three senior members on the team. Captains Terese Kwiatkowski, Meggan McGuiness, Chris O ' Connor gave their fellow teammates support and encouragement, and kept a high team morale throughout the entire season. Terese had a terrific year as always. She was the leading scorer with 23 goals. She was also chosen as an All-Star for the U.S.A. Field Hockey Team, division 3.

Both experience and enthusiasm from returning players and new freshmen combined to make this season so successful. Senior co-captains Sonia Adrianowycz and Karen Casella proved to be a dynamic pair. In her fourth year as a starting setter, Sunny set the offense, while Casey followed with a strong spike or an ace serve. These seniors will be sorely missed for their leadership and playing skills. The team ' s growth is seen in the large percentage of freshmen players. Sue Padell as setter, and hitters Jeanne Travers and Cheryl Macedo added to the effectiveness of WPI ' s offense. Sue and Cheryl often gave WPI an advantage with their excellent serving skills. Linda Plaza worked defensively with Fran Weiss to save many plays with an excellent bump or return pass. Barb Thissell, Joyce Barker, Jackie Biascoechea, Marion Keeler, Robin Gately, and Mary Bartos aided and supported the team. This season the varsity team competed in its first tournament play. During fall break they attended the Northeastern Invitational Tournament in Williamstown, Mass. The team played well. Despite the loss of the powerful seniors, the team can expect a stronger season next year with the strength and experience of the underclassmen who remain.

The season started slow as the engineers dropped 7 of their first 11 games. The WPI fans were just about ready to give up, but with Russ Philpot and Orville Bailey leading the team on offense and Jim Petropulos crashing the boards, they came back to defeat Bates, Tufts, Thomas, Nichols, Brandeis, and Norwich. At this point, guard Gregg Fiddes was making the plays work, and the team was on the move. When the points were hard to come by, Chris Roche was there to toss in the big hoops. Russ Philpot put together one awesome week as he threw in 77 points and collected 39 rebounds against Nichols, Brandeis, and Norwich and was named the ECAC Division III Player of the Week. Trinity managed to break the WPI 6 game winning streak, but the Engineers did not let up as they won 4 of the next 5 games. Against MIT Russ Philpot became the men ' s all-time leading scorer.

With 15 seconds left the engineers trailed by one, but were unable to hit the jumper as the buzzer sounded, and the hopes for another NCAA tournament bid slipped away. The team wrapped up the season with a 77-72 victory over Connecticut College and posted its best season since 1920. A special goodbye to senior tri-captains Russ Philpot, Jim Petropulos, and Chris Trainor for their leadership and dedication during their college careers.

With only two returning varsity oarsmen, the crew lacked the experience of previous years. What they lacked in experience they made up for in determination. After a challenging fall season the team began winter workouts. The sound of four new Dreissigacker ergs echoed through Alumni Gym as team members competed for the fastest times. The NYAC circuit became a favorite pastime for the crew in between workouts. The varsity eight opened the spring season with a time zone win over Lowell and a victory the next week over Amherst. The following races against Conn. College and UMass showed a battling WPI crew coming short of wins, while the team easily defeated Williams. After losing the City Championship to a heavier Holy Cross crew, WPI worked towards the New England Championships where the varsity lightweight four won their event. The varsity heavyweight four fought rough water to place third. After the Dad Vails in Philadelphia, the freshmen four and varsity pair both finished with close fourth places in the fin als to end the season. Next year ' s crew will greatly miss both the talent and leadership of the senior oarsmen. Best wishes to Joe “Captain Iantosca, Paddy “Captain Fat Guida, Fred Guerts, Chris “Harf Hare, and Tom “Lester Kemeny. The women ' s crew team, in their first year as a separate club, accomplished their best season ever. Second year coach Sally Jamara led the team to varsity wins over Lowell, Wheaton, Assumption and Clark. The latter two wins captured the city finals for the second year in a row. The team competed in both the Head of the Charles and the Head of the Merrimack races, but did not compete in the New Englands. Despite the loss of the skill and spirit of seniors Carla Blakslee and captain Pam Russel, the team should continue to grow and improve next year.

Sports • 59 An ECAC Division III Title Win The 1982-83 women ' s basketball team had a record breaking season. Under head coach Sue Chapman and assistant coach Lynne Olson, the Lady Engineers compiled a 20-5 record and won the ECAC North Division III Championship. On their way to a school record 20 victories in one season, the WPI women put together a 16 game win streak which was also unequalled in WPI sport history. But more impressive than breaking school records, the Lady Engineers finished in the top five teams in the NCAA National rankings in three separate categories — overall record, free throw percentage (.605), and scoring margin (-I-16.7). The team ' s success this season has firmly established the WPI women ' s basketball program among the best in New England. The Lady Engineers had a young team this year, with three seniors, one junior, and seven freshmen on the squad. This relative youth accounted for a slow start. Before the Christmas break the women had a 3-3 record. After two easy wins, WPI lost three games in a row. Two losses came in the Worcester City Tournament via Assumption and Worcester State, giving WPI the last place finish in the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. To make matters worse, WPI next met Division II powerhouse Rhode Island College and lost by a humiliating 23 points. The team gained some consolation before going home on break with a 71-62 victory over Western New England College. Double-session practices over Intersession helped prepare the WPI team for the remainder of the season. The Lady Engineers were so prepared, in fact, they did not lose a single game between January 17th and February WOMEN ' S BASKETBALL WPI OPP 78 Framingham State 27 78 Barrington 42 58 Assumption 71 67 Worcester State 74 61 RIC 84 71 WNEC 62 78 Fitchburg State 50 66 Gordon 58 79 Merrimack 67 95 Coast Guard 45 84 Anna Maria 53 66 Trinity 54 79 Suffolk 51 99 Wheaton 52 66 Bates 60 69 Colby 49 86 Brandeis 43 85 Babson 58 76 Amherst 58 61 MIT 33 68 Nichols 55 52 Clark 73 56 Salem State 65 71 Oneonta State 56 57 Manhattanville 49 (20-5) 22nd. The WPI women won a record breaking sixteen games in a row over some of the most talented and experienced teams in New England. The Lady Engineers opened the second part of their season with an easy victory over Fitchburg State. In the same week WPI downed Division II Merrimack, 74-67 and Division III stronghold Gordon College, 66-53. In the January 24th game vs. Coast Guard, WPI set a school scoring record with their 94-45 victory. Two weeks later the women again broke the record defeating Wheaton College, 99-51. The game which began to bring the WPI team to the NCAA ranking committee ' s attention was the 66-54 upset of Trinity College, then ranked 7th in New England. Victories over Anna Maria and Suffolk preceded the women ' s weekend road trip to Maine, where the Lady Engineers beat a 60 • Sports scrappy Bates team 66-60 and earned their ninth place New England ranking by defeating 5th ranked Colby College by a whopping 69-49 score. The victory over Colby gave the women such great confidence that they rolled over their next five opponents by an average of 25.8 points. These wins raised WPI to the seventh place New England ranking. With the win streak standing at 16 games, WPI met cross-town, arch rival Clark University, which was ranked 1st in New England and 6th in the National NCAA polls. As had happened in the 1980-81 season, Clark broke WPI ' s win streak; this year with a 73-52 trouncing of the Lady Engineers. Still reeling from the Clark game, WPI lost again 56-65 to Salem State College to be eliminated in the first round of the MAIAW State Tournament. The Lady Engineers 18-5 record earned them the 2nd place seed in the ECAC North Division III Eastern Tournament which was played at WPI. In their first round game, WPI coasted to a 71-56 victory over number three seed, Oneonta State. The championship game pitted WPI against Kim Fay passes to the inside.

The Lady Engineers finished their finest season ever with a 57-49 victory and an ECAC plaque for the trophy case. This season marked the end of three seniors ' WPI basketball careers. Terese Kwiatkowski, Nancy McLane and Karen Casella each made significant contributions over the last four seasons to help bring the women ' s program to its current respected level. Terese Kwiatkowski completed her basketball career with 1441 points, more than any woman or man in WPI history. Terese was also the first person at WPI to score 1000 points in only three seasons. But Terese was more than a scoring asset to the Lady Engineers. Swinging in the guard and forward positions, Terese could control the boards or the offense. Her ball-handling destroyed many opponents full-court presses. Terese also played aggressive, heads-up defense that resulted in her leading the team in steals with 74 for the season. For her all-around court play, Terese was honored this year by being selected to the All-New England squad as an honorable mention, to the Academic All-American team as an honorable mention and to the second team of the Academic All-New England Squad. The statistics and honors Terese has earned while at WPI speak for themselves, but more important than any of them to the Lady Engineers is the fact that Terese was a team leader. T will be sorely missed next year. Three year starter Nancy McLane had the unselfish style of a team player. At the power forward position her hustle and aggressiveness made her a leading rebounder, despite her height disadvantage to opposing frontcourts. Nancy had bruised knees throughout the season from diving after every loose ball. Nancy was a consistent scorer and played tough denial defense. Her intensity and hard work on the courts contributed greatly to the Lady Engineer ' s success. Karen Casella provided instant offense off the bench for the WPI women. Casey ' s accurate 20-25 foot baseline shot could not be stopped by opposing teams. Casey was also quite competent at leading the offense from the point guard position. Casey played as hard in practice as she did in games and will be a difficult person to replace on the Lady Engineers ' roster. In the final game of the season, against Manhattanville, Chiara Whalen scored her 1000th career point and joined Terese Kwiatkowski to become the only two people in WPI history to reach this milestone in only three seasons. Chiara averaged 11.6 rebounds a game this season and has become one of the dominant centers in New England. Chiara was selected as an honorable mention to the All-New England team this year and will figure heavily in the WPI women ' s future success. Also returning next year for the Lady Engineers are starting guards Kim Fay and Cathy Murray who averaged 12.4 and 10.7 points per game, respectively, this season. Joining them at the guard position are Lauren Hagstrom, Mara Catlin and Amy Swotinsky. Donna Leonard and Erin Carroll will be back at the forward center spot. These players will form a strong nucleus for next year ' s team, and with the help of incoming freshmen, the WPI Lady Engineers will continue to be a successful and highly respected basketball team for years to come. Sports • 63 RANKED 16th NATIONAL LY Lance grits his teeth. The tradition continues. Once again the Engineer wrestling proved that it belongs among the elite Division III teams in America. The final national poll had WPI ranked No. 16, the highest in the school ' s history. WPI also finished third in the New England College Conference Wrestling Association Championships, and had seven wrestlers earn All-New England recognition. The Engineers finished (with 104 points) behind Coast Guard (119) and Wesleyan (IO 6 V 4 ). Junior Rich Testa, who had an 11-1 dual-meet record, including six pins, was crowned New England Champion, when he beat defending champ John Sampson (Amherst). The other All-New England wrestlers are: Roland Marquis at 126 lbs (2nd), Paul Wyman at 158 lbs (4th), John Atkinson at 167 lbs (3rd), Mike Thorn at 177 lbs (3rd), Bob Schwartz at 190 lbs (2nd) and George Duane at heavyweight ( 6 th). In compiling the 16-2-1 dual-meet record coach Phil Grebinar used 27 different wrestlers to outscore the opposition by a whopping 443 points, or 24.6 points per meet. WPI opened the year with 11 consecutive wins, including five victories over Division I teams. The highlight of the year was the sweep of three Division I teams (Harvard, the No. 1 team in New England at the time, the University of New Hampshire and Maine Orono) in a quad meet. “It was a very satisfying year for the team, said Grebinar. “We had a lot of people wrestle and contribute.

The hockey engineers continued to dominate the N.E., Small College Club Hockey League by posting a 12-3 record in the league. The team finished first in the league in regular play, but failed to regain the championship due to a disappointing loss to the University of Rhode Island in playoff competition. Senior forwards Mike MacQueen and Mike Squeak Splaine teamed up with junior Paul Fortier to form a highly aggressive hard hitting line which came through in the clutch whenever called upon. Seniors Joe Bracken, Doug Saunders and co-captain Mike Horgan handled the defensive chores with under classmen Dave Rossi and Steve Demers. Co-captain Randy Brown anchored the third line with junior Brian Starr and sophomores Todd Guay, Bill Fleischer and Brian Fraser rotating in the remaining sports. Injuries kept Starr, Fleischer and Fraser off the ice at different times throughout the season. The first line combination of sophomore Paul Hogan and freshmen Mike Duguette and Dave Henry proved to be the surprise of the season. Hogan broke the team scoring record with 32 goals and 22 assists.

Lacrosse ' 83 The lacrosse team under first year head coach Phil Grebinar finished a very successful year with a 7-4 record. In gaining this record, the engineers lost three heartbreakers by a total of only five goals. As in years past, the team was lead by their four high scoring attackmen, David An derson, Bill Zagrany, John Joseph, and Lou Peluso. Responsible for seventy-five percent of WPI ' s goals, these four explosive net men were one of the main reasons for the Engineer ' s success. In Lacrosse, strong midfielders are the key to success and this was evident with WPI. Captain Chris Claussen, David Sheehan and Tom Broderick proved to be grave scoring threats in pressure situations throughout the year. Hustle is an important aspect in Lacrosse and Pat Brady, Ken Dieselman and Bruce Mac Rae demonstrated this all year. First year players Bill Clemmy and Chris Good along with three year veteran Paul Sorrento provided strong, steady play throughout the year. The team ' s mainstay this year was the ever consistent play of its defensemen. All-star Charlie Pappis along with Jim Melvin, Dave Collete and Mark Primmer showed exceptional hustle and character throughout the year and are commended for a job well done. Finally, the Engineers can boast a slim six goals per game thanks to the fine performances supplied by Steve Kochman and Adam Joffe. They will both be leaving this year and their services will be sorely missed. 82 • Sports Coach Phil Grebinar discusses strategy with Captain Chris Claussen.

Sports • 83 The bench keeps up the noise during the game. A Roller Coaster Season The Engineers had a roller-coaster season this year while compiling an 8-9 record. The first five games of the year were played against teams that squad could have beat. Unfortunately, during this time the team did not get to practice outside due to the weather and the record slipped to 0-5. The team then started to gel, and proceded to win eight of its last twelve games. Many highlights were scattered throughout this years season. Jimmy Jackman, who hit .400, Had two home runs to beat Division I power Tufts in extra innings. Junior Bob Hess, whose 4- 3 record is deceiving, proved to be an exceptional pitcher, as evidenced by his 5- 1 defeat of another strong Division I ball club, Brandeis. The outfield of Dan Coakley (RF), Chuck Hickey (CF) and Pat Ruffo (LF) played consistent defensive ball this year. Coakley, a freshman, hit .356 and led the outfield in assists. Hickey, a junior, did exceptionally well at the plate this year. He hit .400, leading the team in runs scored and stolen basses. Chuck also hit 3 home runs from the leadoff slot. Senior Pat Ruffo hit .323 with 4 home runs. Pat played the tricky hill in left field as well as anyone has in recent years. Senior Steve Kelm and Freshman Joe Olaynack played well in the infield this year, with Klein contributing some key hits. The last two players who completed the starting nine are A1 Carpenter and Mike Valiton. They both had very good years and did a great job as co-captains. Val hit over .300 for the fourth straight year and Carpy led the club in almost every offensive category, including Home Runs, RBI ' s, and Total Bases. 84 • Sports The team returns to the bench after congratulating Hickey on a key home run.

Well into the season, the Engineers played evenly, winning as many matches as they lost, but dropping two of the last three matches of the season. WPI bested Clark and Coast Guard early on in a dual match. The team then went on to beat Bentley and Babson. Losing a close dual match to both Holy Cross and Assumption seemed to inspire the team to beat Clark in a split dual meet and then to sweep Lowell and St. Anselms. At the end of the season WPI outplayed both Springfield College and AIC. The team closed out the season with a winning 9-7 record, which was 8-4 when only Division III matches are considered. The team may have a rebuilding year next year since six seniors, Jim Petropulos, Joe Soloio, Steve Smith, Curt Whitehead, Mark Mungeam, and Jeff Twomey are all graduating. 88 • Sports Mark Mungeam lines up his putt.

Sports • 89 Best Nationals Finish Ever WPI ' s track and field team continued its league domination with its eighteenth consecutive winning season, posting a 6 win 3 loss record in 1983. Head Coach Merl Norcross successfully completed his third decade coaching as WPl tal lied wins over Wesleyan, Eastern Connecticut, Assumption, Clark, Worcester State, and Brandeis. WPI lost the City Championships for the first time in 13 years, failing to an experienced Holy Cross team. Co-captains Mike Horgan and Sean Flanigan led the squad with consistently strong performances as junior Pete Sifferlen and freshman Greg Westgate topped the team in point scoring. Sifferlen competed in the hammer, discus, mile relay, and decathlon, while Westgate handled the jumping events and hurdles. A pair of school records fell this year: Dan Pond set the new high hurdle time at 14.5; and Pete Sifferlen broke the decathlon mark with 6,388 points, placing fourth in the All-New England competition. Other very noteworthy performances were given by Lloyd Tepper in the sprints, John Economou in the 440, Dan LaPrade in the 880, and Pat Barry throwing the javelin. In the Division III New England Championships, Dan Pond took first in the high hurdles as teammate Sifferlen took another first in his specialty, the hammer. Both proceeded to the National Championships in Illinois where Sifferlen earned All American status, finishing fourth; Pond came in ninth hurdling. WPI enjoyed its highest point tally ever at the Nationals.

A Great Start The women ' s softball team posted a 9 and 7 record this year. The Lady Engineers, aided by the strong hitting of Chris Clancy, Cheryl Macedo and Mary Cardoza, and the superb pitching of Michelle Bugbee (0.9 ERA) and Terese Kwiatkowski (1.9 ERA), started off the season well. They won six out of their first seven games against some good ballclubs. The schedule got tougher as the year went on, and the ladies dropped six out of their next seven games. But the team really showed a lot of character in winning its last two games. The team was lead by the outstanding senior athletes Terese and K.C., Karen Casella. These two seniors have done a lot to promote girls ' athletics at WPI. They will be missed, but there are plenty of good athletes to carry on the tradition.

Captain Bernadette “Barney Young and coach Whit Griffith played major roles in getting the young team on its feet and tallying an impressive 4-0 record. The season began with a close 53-51 victory over Assumption. Barney started the meet off right with a first place in the shot put. Elaine Santry and Mary Allen followed with respective wins in the javelin and long jump events. The track events followed with WPI ' s Michelle Payant, Kathy Bolton and Ellen Regan dominating their events. In the next week ' s meet with Bryant, the field events were dominated by the Lady Engineers. The girls swept all of the throwing events and Lindsay Gage won the high jump. Ellen Regan brought home two strong wins in the 200 800 distances. Ellen qualified for the regionals, but could not participate due to illness. Bolton and Allen also took home firsts. The final meet was a perfect finish for the triumphant season. Most of the team members contributed to the 82 points which equalled the sum of the scores of the two opponents, Brandeis, 60 and Clark, 22. 94 • Sports A Disappointing Season The men ' s tennis team had a disappointing year, finishing with a 3-6-1 record. The season started slow with 1 victory and 4 losses. The win, however, was a sweet one in which WPI defeated rival Holy Cross. The season seemed to be turning around as WPI started to come back, winning 2 matches and tying 1 out of the next four. In a rain-soaked match against Suffolk, WPI managed a 3-3 tie. The netmen then easily disposed of both Nichols and Assumption, 9-0 and 8-1 respectively. With the match pitting WPI against AIC cancelled due to bad weather, the team had only a match against Lowell left. That match, played on Mayfest, ended the season in a disappointing loss. The team had a rough time all season, losing two of the top players. Carlo Gretter and senior Juan Carbarcos early in the season. The netmen will now be losing seniors Jeff Brandt and captain Dave Wilbur, leaving Dan Mott, Greg Durand, and sophomores John Scacciotti and Tom Costello to lead the team to a better season next year.

The foundation of the “Two Towers,” the relationship of technology and society, dates back to the founding of the Institute by John Boynton and Ichabod Washburn. Boynton believed that theory and scien ce were essential while Washburn endorsed a more practical, “hands-on” approach to education. These concepts guided WPI’s educational schema from its inception. The Plan itself began innocently enough. At a faculty meeting on June 14, 1968, Professor William Shipman claimed that the college was drifting without academic purpose. The school was good, but it had nothing exceptional or uniquely challenging to offer a good student. President Harry Storke, at this prompting, appointed the President’s Planning Group to draw up a plan for long range development. Shipman, John van Alstyne, John Boyd, Charles Heventhal, William Roadstrum, and Stephen Weininger were appointed to start the planning process. After presenting the first report, “Two Towers I,” they resigned and suggested that the faculty elect its own committee. At this point Romeo Moruzzi and William Grogan replaced Roadstrum and Weininger on the committee which led the faculty’s efforts to transform WP1. A year and a half later a final report, entitled “Two Towers IV: A Plan,” was submitted to the faculty. The WP1 Plan was approved by a two-to-one vote. Since its creation, the Plan has undergone subtle changes in its interpretation and its execution. This past year, being the tenth anniversary of the Plan, a study was done to investigate how successful different aspects of the Plan have been. The Accredidation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) found one main fault with the Plan: graduates seemed to lack a solid background in the basic sciences. Through campus reactions, shortcomings were pointed out in the advising system, the competency exam, and completion of qualifying projects. The entire WP1 community was heard from, but it was the Committee on Academic Policy (CAP) that was given the task of reevaluating the Plan and proposing new degree requirements. The new requriements most importantly had to satisfy the accredidation board. Open meetings, student, faculty, and administrative committees, and the student newspaper Newspeak all served as vehicles for the change. In the end, however, it was the faculty who would decide what would happen to the WPI Plan. After all the input about the changes had been accumulated and considered, the faculty, in a series of special meetings, discussed each section of the CAP Plan proposal. In the final vote on the entire proposal, the faculty agreed to one basic change from the original Plan: the addition of distribution requirements. The requirements are optional for each department, and each department’s requirements must be approved by the entire faculty. It is the hope of the faculty that this additional graduation requirement will satisfy ABET’s major concern for a basic science background while still allowing for as much flexibility in the choice of courses as possible. IQP MQP SUFF The humanities minor (Sufficiency) gives the student a focused and concentrated introduction to the humanities. For some, it is the easiest requirement; for others the most difficult. For many, the red ink of the advisor’s pen becomes a common and frustrating sight. The Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) widens the undergraduate’s view to the intricate interactions of society and technology. The IQP areas combine technical issues with moral and ethical judgements, social needs, value systems, and cultural considerations. They also give the opportunity to understand and to communicate with other sectors of society. The IQP is often considered to be the 124 • Academics most innovative and powerful aspect of the Plan. For this very reason it is often the most difficult for a student to complete. Many times he has no previous knowledge of the area, and then he finds that his advisor, too, has limited knowledge. In addition, the student is often faced with the continuous problem of keeping enough technological and social reference in the project. Anyone lucky enough to have an expert handy can jump these hurdles more easily than others. The Major Qualifying Project (MQP) deeply involves a student in problem solving or design in his chosen profession. It helps to give a view of the real world to an otherwise classroom-oriented major area of study. Both qualifying projects, though, mirror the real world in some ways more than others. Classroom learning may not be sufficient to get the job done, and long hours are spent in libraries or travelling to new sources. Deadlines are often extended; with final reports passed in by students gasping for breath minutes before projects are due. The Competency exam (Comp) tests the undergraduate’s ability to integrate knowledge, resources, and methods on a significant problem. Each department offers the Comp in a slightly different way. Yet, there are two things all Comps have in common. It scares the pants off of everyone, and each department requires an oral defense of the work. The oral is enough to give someone butterflies that make a flock of geese look small by comparison. The education gained by an open mind under the Plan is indeed extraordinary. The heart of the Plan, its projects, extend the student beyond the classroom to develop a confident, conscious, and conscientious engineer. If anything, they teach one how to stay up late at night. BIOLOGY BIOTECHNOLOGY New discoveries in the past decade in gene splicing and tissue culture techniques have given rise to biotechnology. The boom in biotechnology in recent years has begun to change the role of biology from a research science to an applied science, it has created a new area for engineering. This changing role has triggered a new approach to the study of biological science at WPI. The beginning of the 1982-1983 academic year was greeted with a new name for the old Life Sciences Department: the Biology and Biotechnology Department. This was inspired by the changing trends in biological sciences and the creation of a new major at WPI to meet the needs of industry for biological engineers: Bio-technology. The need for trained bio-technologists is just beginning and promises to grow as new discoveries are made. The growing interest in Biotechnology is reflected in a steadily increasing enrollment over the past few years in the department both in majors and non-majors. Many areas of interest are being explored through such projects as: biomass conversion, water quality, cancer, blood cell structure, agricultural applications, cell energetics, and mechanization of tissue culture. Development of these areas as well as others will help to prepare WPI for the coming age or biotechnology. With the close of the 1982-1983 academic year the Biology and Biotechnology department will be bidding farewell to Dr. Kenneth Giles, the department head. Dr. Giles was highly instrumental in the implementation or Biotechnology at WPI and subsequent growth of the department in this area. A new era is upon us, an era that will integrate the physical principles of engineering with the science of biology, and only the creativity of the student will set the limits to this potential. 126 • Academics CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Over the past year the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering departments at WPI have seen some changes. The need for more laboratory experience in the undergraduate Chemical Engineering program prompted the department to introduce a controls laboratory into the curriculum. This lab gives the students some hands-on training which is necessary to become successful engineers. Professor Yi H. Maand his Chemical Engineering department are also looking to add a computer system to their Chemical Engineering facilities. There is a great need for such a system. Competition in the field of Chemical Engineering is tough and the Chemical Engineering department is doing everything in their power to produce the finest quality of engineers. It is expected that the lull in the Chemical Engineering field will start to ease up in the next year. The small but professional Chemistry department, lead by Professor James W. Pavlic, is also constantly upgrading the facilities so that Chemistry students will have quality training. The Chemistry department this year welcomed a new member to their staff, Professor Paul M. Champion. Both the Chemical Engineering and Chemistry departments have societies on campus whose main function is to increase the professor-student relationship, therefore, making the learning process easier. The Americal Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE) at WPI held many faculty-student functions such as their first annual Octoberfest. The Skeptical Chemists held tutoring session for undergraduate students and also student-faculty functions over the past years. Both groups sponsored many guest speakers. The two groups are currently working on remodeling the student lounge in Goddard Hall. The lounge is being done over from top to bottom. New furniture, carpeting and paint will replace the old. This is the largest project the societies have undertaken this year. 128 • Academics ‘ rt I - u H L if m k J { 1 1 You know it’s Springtime when you see the Civil Engineering students with their transits and tape measures out on Kaven lawn! Remember those three days that seemed like eternity? Who ever thought one’s hair could turn grey so feist? Remember Professor Koontz’s Depth question and how long it was, or what about having Professor Sage’s Breadth question? Fluids? What’s Fluids? The Civil Engineering student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers has become very active over the past year after a long period of lack of interest. During the 1982-83 school year Guy Busa was President; Todd Regonini and Jack Henderson, Vice Presidents; Rick Nasman, Secretary and David Beane, Treasurer. Dr. Paramisivan Jayachandran is the faculty advisor. The chapter acts as a liason between engineers in training and the field that CE students will be entering. It organizes a lot of professional presentations for the students, and by doing so, helps to increase the interest of different CIVIL ENGINEERING companies in WPI. Some of ASCE’s other activities are mini courses throughout the year, their annual picnic, and the always fun” combination field trip and Red Sox game. This year they also have a Concrete Canoe Race planned. Chi Epsilon honor society has been in existence at WPI since 1961. During the 1982-83 year Chris Erikson was President; Jim Luskay, Vice President; Nancy McLane, Secretary-Treasurer and Allen Leblanc, Editor. One of the major accomplishments of Chi Epsilon was initiating Dr. Frank D. DeFalco as an “honorary member” of the society. Professor DeFalco was one of the original members of Chi Epsilon and has recently stepped down from being faculty advisor after fifteen years. The new advisor is Dr. Richard D. Desrosiers. Also initiated this year as a new member was Dr. Frederick L. Hart. Chi Epsioon sponsored the “Dollar-a-Year” fundraiser. Each alumnus is asked to donate a dollar for every year that he has been out of school. The students raised close to five-hundred dollars, which was used towards various Civil Engineering and Chi Epsilon activities. In closing, a special thanks is bestowed upon Professor Richard W. Lamothe for his dedication to the department and students here at WPI. Professor Lamothe will be retiring from teaching at the end of this year after being with WPI since 1957. _ COMPUTER SCIENCE MATHEMATICS The Computer Science department has worked hard to keep up with research areas in computer science. Networks seminars, database courses and weekly presentations have been sponsored by the faculty this year. The faculty have also had their share of fun. In addition to the usual pub happy hours and Halloween party, Stan Selkow’s “Goodbye Fortran” party and April Fool’s Day surprise helped to keep the department in good spirits. Math has been an important part of all WPI students’ curricula since the school’s opening over 100 years ago. More recently, the related filed of Computer Science has joined Math as an integral component in the field of engineering and the curriculum at WPI. Both departments have been expanding in recent years as they try to keep up with new developments in their ever-changing fields. The Math department has grown in terms of both faculty and areas of concentration in the past four years. A new mathematics area, Computer Math, joined the existing four areas of Statistics, Applied Math, Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences this year. The number of graduating Math majors has remained small in recent years and actually droped fifty percent to seven in the past four years. The Computer Science department has attracted some would-be Math majors; its ranks have doubled since 1979 with ’83 graduates numbering sixty-five. The department faculty has also grown significantly and in 1980 moved form the third floor of Washburn Hall to Atwater Kent, which the department now shares with the EE department. A new computer facility, built into the newly renovated Atwater Kent quarters, was made the home of a new 32 bit mini-computer, the MV8000, donated by Data General Corporation. The MV8000 terminals replaced the punched cards of the Univac as the medium used to complete assignments for the introductory computer courses. Most of the advanced coursework is completed using the DEC-20 computer located at WACCC. The DEC-20 replaced a DEC-10 just two years ago, but increased use has caused some controversial attempts to both update the computer system and to require students to purchase their own personal computers. 132 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING The Electrical Engineering department is the largest department at WPI and at present serves over 700 students. This enrollment has been increasing for the past ten years and can be associated with the addition of eight new staff members to the department in the last five years. Twenty-four full time faculty members are presently dedicated to approximately 140 Bachelor of Science, 30 Masters of Science and one Doctorate of Physical Science Electrical Engineering candidates each year. The EE department is proud of its staff and accomplishments. The Department Head, Doctor Harit Majmudar, had this comment, “Scholarly activity of the faculty has resulted in 45 publications in the last two years.” In the newly renovated Atwater Kent building the laboratories can be separated into two categories. The first is the Teaching Labs used mostly for undergraduate project work and classroom-related laboratory exercises. This category consists of the Computer Engineering Lab, Communications Lab, Electronics Lab, Circuits Lab, Electric Machine and Power System Lab and the Microwave Lab. The Image Processing Lab, whose construction was funded by the National Science Foundation, and the Power Electronics Lab constitute the Research category of the Electrical Engineering department’s laboratories. There is considerable research being conducted by the Electrical Engineering faculty and students in many areas including computer engineering, solid state devices, digital communication, power systems, theory, power electronics, image processing, and bio-medical engineering. Much of this research is sponsored by outside organizations including the National Science Foundation, Electric Power Industry and the United States Department of Defense. Contributions result in approximately three hundred thousand dollars of sponsored research a year. WPI’s expanding Electrical Engineering department is preparing students for a promising future. Each year recruiters come from all over the country including California, Florida, and Texas to secure WPI EE graduates for their companies. There are three undergraduate majors in Management offered at WPi; straight Management (MG), Management with Computer Applications (MGC) and Management Engineering (MGE). A MGE degree combines the basic concepts of Management with a technical background in one of the engineering disciplines. Likewise, a MGC major gains his her technical experience in Computer Science. The need for people with these skills is growing as our society becomes more technologically advanced; this advancement requiring qualified managers. As a department, Management students are a very involved group. The WPI Management Society aims to make students aware of the opportunities available and the challenges they will be facing in the business world. This year, MANAGEMENT the Society has sponsored speakers from various industries. Students are fortunate to be able to interact with professionals at meetings of the American Institute of Industrial Engineers and the American Association of Cost Engineers. The Society is a student chapter of two other trade organizations, the Society for Advanced Management and the American Marketing Association. The Coffee Lounge located in Salisbury Labs is managed by the officers of the Management Society and employs work-study students to keep it running. In addition to developing a sense of professionalism among its students, the department also encourages social activities to give professors and students a chance to mingle outside the classroom. The Christmas Party, held in the Pub this year, was a fun time for all. After a Turkey dinner, Crockett provided the entertainment for the evening. In the Fall and again in the Spring, the Society threw two Beer . Pizza parties. With the end of the school year came the annual faculty student picnic and, new this year, Salisbury Happy Hour. In recognition for their achievements, top students are inducted into Epsilon Upsilon Pi, tne Management Honor Society. This year EUP sponsored a Career Night at which WPI alumni spoke to students about their careers and the opportunities available in Management fields. As another service, EUP members provided tutoring in Management and engineering courses that were being offered each term. 7 ys, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING As technology advances towards computers and automation, the Mechanical Engineering Department has not been left behind. The department has added a large amount of equipment in recent years and is continually growing. The Manufacturing Engineering Applications Center (MEAC) has been established and includes the robotics lab. They have four robots which are used by students for MQP’s. Three companies, Emhart, Norton, and Heald, are members of the growing program which enables students to work directly with engineers and industry. The computer aided manufacturing (CAM) lab contains five computers used with the injection molding and CNC milling machines. CAM can also be connected to the computer aided design (CAD) lab. The CAD lab became operational in August, 1981. Introductory courses are offered as well as project opportunities to students of all disciplines. The program also includes mini-courses for managers, engineers, designers, and drafters in local industry. The Apple lab, now in operation for two years, was acquired to support computer graphics and computer aided design in addition to programming needs. Courses employing the Apples may require work solely in the lab or as a supplement to regular course work. A major renovation of Washburn will be completed by the summer of 1984. It will house several separate materials engineering labs, a new lecture hall, as well as an enlarged robotics lab. New modules, each equipped with a lathe, milling machine, tooling, and videocassette, will encourage a more self-sufficient approach to education. The Mechanical Engineering Department has done much to keep pace with technology and plans indicate that growth will not end here. UNlMATt “Robots, computers, and CNC machines have arrived.” — B.E. Gordon The 1982-83 school year saw some good times for the Physics department, both in and out of the classroom. On the academic side, the department has grown significantly in the last two years. Lenn Kupferberg, Richard Quimby and Jan Tobochnik joined the faculty and continued their impressive research in the fields of condensed solids and laser-induced reactions in solids. Professor Jerald Weiss has been working in dielectrics for IBM. One of the most PHYSICS important projects currently being done in the department is an attempt to lay claim to the world’s smallest ion beam. Ray Goloskie and associate Fred Martin have a good chance of accomplishing this tremendous goal in the future. The majority of Physics students in the class of ’83 looked towards graduate school for their near-future plans. Graduate schools at the University of Rochester, Duke University, San Diego University, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Illinois will enjoy the attendance ofWPI graduates. As usual, the Physics department enjoyed their share of social events this year. Besides the normal picnics with master chef Sir Sev Ritchie at the grill, the department celebrated Bob Long’s twenty-fifth anniversary in Olin Hall. In athletics the Physics students excelled. The department’s basketball team, “The Degenerate Spinors,” had another winning season with the shooting of Steve Dehais and John Hanavan. “We would have won more games,” claimed captain Tom Weiderman, “except that we forgot to take into account the rotation of the earth when we shot the ball.” 140 • Academics Academics • 141 TG1F rules the Punts . . .

A Welcome Diversion Homecoming The 1982 Homecoming Weekend got off to a thunderous start on Friday night as Electra Asylum recording star Warren Zevon played to an enthusiastic crowd of some 1500 people in Harrington. This was Zevon’s third stop on a national tour. His high energy performance included “Werewolves in Worcester” (a rendition of his popular “Werewolves in London” tune), and other favorites such as “Lawyers, Guns, and Money”, “Excitable Boy” and tracks from his latest album — “The Envoy”. As Saturday rolled around, the campus was filled with activities. The day began with a parade of movable displays made by the Fraternities and Sororities, with each display portraying a certain period in WPI history. Theta Chi’s airplane captured the grand prize, tailed by SAE and TKE. After the parade the activities turned to athletics. Depending on a person’s favorite sport, one could watch Field Hockey capture the City Tournament by defeating Anna Maria 4-1, and Clark 3-0, or witness Soccer’s disappointing 3-5 loss to Coast Guard. With the afternoon came football, as WPI took on Coast Guard before a crowd of nearly 4000. Backed by their homecoming fans, the Engineers rolled over Coast Guard 59-32, and achieved the second highest score in WPI history. For their superb performances Ron Ranauro and Jim Leonardo received the coveted Pritchard Awards. Other activities of the day included the Freshman Skull award presentation and the rope pull. During football’s halftime senior John Atkinson presented Bruce Carbone with the Skull award, and Christine Clancy received honorable mention. After the football game the sophomores challenged the freshmen to the annual rope pull over Institute Pond. The sophomores, keeping with tradition, were dragged through the pond, again. As afternoon weened away, everyone prepared for the Nightclub. Nightclub entertainment was provided by Roomful of Blues. The band kept the packed house dancing to blues and swing all night long. Between sets the crowd was entertained by The Amazing Fantasy Jugglers, a three member comedy-juggling team from Boston. Set to music, they juggled everything from golfballs to tennis rackets. “Our Mom’s use Tide to get kids clean.’’ Events • 179 180 • Events The Amazing Fantasy Jugglers mesmerize seniors Sherry Hess and John Atkinson. Sophomore Ann Pettit and senior Mike Connell relax between sets. Alum ' s Ann Sullivan, Tom Berard, Joe Vignaly and junior Kathy Kruczek are caught off-guard by the cameraman. Carol Clark and Dan Souvier share a smile. 182 • Events The Marsels rock the crowd. Ham it up! Smile — you’re on Candid Camera! Winter Weekend A lively David Johannsen accompanied by “Preview” kicked off Winter Weekend on Friday, February 11th, in Harrington Auditorium. Johannsen’s resonating baritone, perhaps best known for his “Funky but Chic” melody, rocked the sparse but energetic crowd through the late night hours. On Saturday night a much larger and more enthusiastic audience greeted The Marsels for the Winter Weekend Nightclub in Harrington. The Marsels energetic sound, ranging from disco to rock to a new wave, was a crowd pleaser. The group’s spirited last set was a trip down memory lane. The floor was jammed with dancers who journeyed from 1954 to 1964 and never stopped rocking. In between sets, comedian Tom Parks returned to WPI once again and as always brought down the house with his act. A Formal Affair Some of WPI ' s own talent Chalmers Brothers and Carol Clark were featured this year at a Coffeehouse. Saturday night bands appeared at least twice a month at the Pub. Coffeehouses in the Wedge brought mellow entertainment for Thursday nights. “Mr. Spock is a most interesting character,” comments Gene Roddenberry. Soccom Presents Throughout the year the Social Committee, or Soccom, provides a variety of entertainment to wile away our non-studying hours. The broad spectrum of entertainment meets practically every taste. For serious and educational entertainment Soccom presents Spectrum and Cinematech. Cinematech brings some of the best of world cinema to WPI and this year included films from 8 countries. Spectrum provided just that — a spectrum of entertainment including musical groups, a magician, a mime duo, dancers, lectures, and even the Chinese Magie Circus of Taiwan. Spectrum’s biggest attractions were lectures by science fiction writer Dr. Isaac Asimov, and “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry. Social Committee also presents The Reel Thing, which runs current popular movies which included: “Star Wars”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “Rocky III”, and “On Golden Pond.” But perhaps what Soccom is best known for (and often criticized for) is the musical talent it brings to campus in the form of concerts, mixers, coffeehouses, Pub entertainment, and nightclubs. David Johansen, Warren Zevon, Robin Lane and the Shake, Beau Bolero, Berlin Airlift, Preston Porter Band, and Crocket were a few of the groups featured this year. Social Committee also sponsored a well-received Nightclub in the Pub, the first event of its kind and hopefully the forerunner of many more. The Preston Porter Band is hard at work in the Pub. Events • 185 Bill Wheaton says, “three is not a crowd.” “To everything there is a season ... With winter a frigid memory, a young man’s mind turns to Spring. Ah Spring, when even Worcester looks good. The long cold nights of studying are replaced by lazy, hazy days of Spring. At WPI Spring means pebble beach, afternoons on Higgins’ House Lawn and special events like Spring Weekend and Mayfest. Ah, those dog days of Spring ... Dog Dags 186 • Events | 4m ■■, ' i v j ..

Spring Weekend ’83 brought controversy to the WPI campus. When the final decision to hold the Nightclub on a boat in Boston Harbor was announced, several threats of boycotting surfaced. But the promises were idle ones, and keeping with recent traditions, the Nightclub was sold out. When April 29th rolled around, the controversy subsided and the festivities began. The Spring Weekend activities began on Friday night with a concert in Alden. New Wave and Rock dominated the performances of both “The November Group” and the main attraction “Robin Lane and the Shake.” Saturday’s assortment of activities began with a parade of the Fraternity chariots. By recording the fastest time in the chariot race and sponsoring the most original design SAE captured the grand prize for best overall chariot. The Social Committee and the Junior Class tried to make everyone richer by tossing frisbies — some with money attached! The young at heart were entertained by a magic show, while ATO once again proved that it has some of the ugliest men on campus when Tom Huckman won Alpha Phi Omega’s infamous annual contest. ATO also won the Miller Tug-of-War for the guys with Delta Phi Epsilon capturing the women’s title. Throughout the afternoon buses left the quad to whisk the adventurous to Boston for the Nightclub. Many people spent the day in The Hub before catching the evening cruise. As the Provincetown II left the dock no one was quite sure what to expect. Many slipped to the boat’s lower decks to escape the wind or to boogie with “Panorama”. Dancing on a moving boat turned out to be a new and “rocky” experience and the dance floor was soon packed. Before the cruise was over Deidre Urbaitis was crowned Queen and Rich Pochepan King of the Junior Prom. A royal pair, Junior Prom Queen nominee Corinne Juneau and King Rich Pochepan, take a break. Events • 189 Is that what a scrum looks like? The boys have arrived ... let the party begin. Chris Baryluk, Dave Femia, Bruce Sullivan and Mike Jasminski enjoy the day. Would you buy popcorn from these two? Mayfest Dear Diary, April 27, 1983 The morning was clear and cool. What a great Wednesday morning to spend in bed. Then I heard it. I got up to see who the clown was that was blasting “Here Comes the Sun” so early on a Wednesday morning. Then I realized that the music wasn’t coming from an apartment nearby but was from somewhere on the hill and it wasn’t a stereo it was a band. No, it couldn’t be, could it? But not on Wednesday, and besides its only April. Then Jane came screaming back from class “Guess what today is?” Sure enough, Mayfest in April was here. Being the conformist-type, I donned my shorts and t-shirt and meandered up the hill. I slipped through security to find the quad littered with a score of freshmen playing frisbee as the Jazz Band announced that Mayfest had arrived. Slowly upperclassmen armed with coolers began flooding the quad. By noon it began to look like the day would be a success. Prof. Beall accompanied by this wife and occassionally the entire rugby team provided noon-time entertainment. Daka supplied a picnic on the quad and the class of ’84 sold popcorn. Later in the afternoon the “Dry Heaves” took the stage. I’ve never heard a band with a more appropriate name ... Enough said? The roving photographer catches the crowd.

The senior class officers took advantage of this opportunity and organized a super week with an appropriate theme of “Celebration. The week began with rejection night in the Pub. Prizes were awarded for the rudest rejection letter, the most rejection letters, and a variety of other rejection honors. Throughout the night Senior Week t-shirts were sold, and the pub was soon dotted by the light blue shirts. Those who made it out of bed before noon the following day attended a graduation rehersal where Bill Tuna Trask yelled directions in his typical Tuna style. He also consoled those who had not yet found jobs and told them fo remain optimistic — even the chem eng ' s. After rehersal, the crowd again headed toward the Pub for a free lunch of pizza and beer. Wednesday, cars packed with seniors headed for the Cape, where all 50 rooms of the Windjammer Motel in Yarmouth had been reserved for a continuation of the celebration. Despite the cool 228 • Closing with Formal Receptions and Informal Breakfasts weather, the trip was a huge success. An all day volleyball game, softball in the sand, swings, drinking games, and packie runs were the sports of the day. Dinner was served poolside by the class officers, who were given the chore of cooking almost 200 steaks. At night, many headed to the local clubs for dancing and all night toasts. Others stayed on the beach where they kept warm with the help of a bonfire and some body heat. Despite the cold, some went for a midnight swim. The next morning donuts were available for anyone with an apppetite. Friday concluded the week with the Senior Dinner Dance held at the Holden Hills Country Club. Prime rib and Closing • 231 232 • Closing One Last Road Trip baked stuffed shrimp were served along with lots of wine. The class danced to the “funk” music of “Downtime.” Sam Woolford led a round of toasts during a break, and the band concluded the night by coercing people to dance on chairs and table tops. The class officers had accomplished one of the best “Celebrations” ever. The following Friday night, the class returned to the Pub with their parents. The dads received old fashioned hats which read “My kid made it,” and everyone enjoyed the “Ragtime Rowdies.” The crowd attempted some old time dances to tunes like “In the Good Old Summertime,” “Mac The Knife,” and “Alexander ' s Ragtime Closing • 233 Band. When the Pub closed, the celebrating moved into rooms in Stoddard, which many parents had rented for the night. The next morning graduation day began with a farewell brunch prepared by the Daka food service. The final Daka service was reminiscent of the many meals eaten or avoided in previous years. When the day was well under way, the graduation ceremony began. Seniors lined up by Boynton Hall, while family and friends waited in Harrington Auditorium. The march across Earle Bridge and the Quad brought the members of the class of 1983 to the ceremony they had anticipated for four years ... or five years ... or six years . . . Harry Gray, Chairman of the Board of United Technologies, arrived in his personal helicopter to deliver the keynote address. While he encouraged the graduates to make the most of their intelligence and skills throughout life, class members amused themselves by popping corks from champagne bottles. Finally, when the last student received a diploma, the new graduates applauded and cheered their successes. When all was finished, handshakes, kisses, and hugs seemed almost commonplace as friends said goodbyes to each other and to professors. At the end, graduates went in different directions, leaving the school at their backs.

Various copy and headline Many times in the past few weeks I have wondered whether or not any book could be worth the time and effort it required to produce this. After seeing the proofs for the first half of the book, I am beginning to feel that it will be. I hope that all who worked on the book will agree. Thank you very much for your help. I would especially like to thank the entire editorial board for styles are used throughout the book. Press run was 2150 copies The 1983 Peddler staff strived to create a book which thoroughly captured the people and events of this year at WPI. We sincerely hope that all who receive the book will be reminded of some aspects of their own lives during this year. The additional coverage of the book was made possible by an increase in size of both the editorial board and the staff. We all hope that this growth will be continued for the quality of future yearbooks depends upon it. their support. Special thanks to van A for his encouraging ideas and proofreading help. I will never forget you. Norm Benrimo also deserves special recognition for his constant support and entertainment. Finally, I would like to thank those who stayed to get both deadlines out the door, especially Neil. Enjoy! Love, Mo. 256 N V _X L A ' vT • - •S ' y v S ' • W y 7 ■ V - 7 M 7 ' O S V - ' V r T - , V ' ■ 7- 7 - r, 7 - v j -Uti vS i .
