Peddler 1986 1986 Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester, MA 01609 Volume 111 Changes The happenings of this past academic year have been the most radical in over a decade. What affected seniors the most was the inability of WPI to obtain liability insurance for the Goat’s Head Pub, thus necessitating its closure. Students turned to other hangouts around Worcester for those Friday evening “Happy Hours.” Finally, on April 3rd, the Pub was re¬ opened under the name Gompei’s Place where no alcoholic beverages are served. This year also saw the installa¬ tion of WPI’s thirteenth president, Dr. Jon C. Strauss. President Strauss came to us from the University of Southern California and an interview with him can be found beginning on page 154. The new Omni-Turf athletic field opened in the fall and hosted the state high school soccer champi¬ onships. In addition, new tennis courts and a baseball field were built as part of a $1.2 million reconstruction program. The on- campus housing deficiency was somewhat lessened by the open¬ ing of the upperclassmen-only Founders Hall. It consists of most¬ ly four-person suites and is complete with its own cafeteria and weight room. The complete computerization of Registration did nothing to reduce the lines that form and starting next year the AD-AC-NR grading system will be phased out. For those of us who are gradu¬ ating, the job outlook is the worst since 1975. We hope we captured all of these events and more that helped make this year so very spe¬ cial. — The Peddler Staff 2 Opening Table of Contents Opening Student Life Events Sports Seniors Clubs Greeks Closing Ads Contents 3 The first two WPI students ever to read a Worcester newspaper. 4 Opening Fans watch a WPI Varsity Bowling Meet ...

Opening 5 Dedication The dedication of the Peddler is always given to the person to whom the senior class feels closest. Dean John P. van Alstyne, whom everyone calls “van A,” is this special person to the Class of ’86. At one time or another, every student seeks him out for some kind of help. Rarely, if ever, does he not solve the problems or offer the right suggestion or lend the emotional support needed to make it through the four years. Each accepting freshman first hears of van A when he gets an official welcome and the forms to fill out for that first A-term schedule. The day of arrival on campus in August is when he meets all parents and freshmen and is quickly endeared to their hearts. He’s the first one to arrive on campus in the morning and usually the last one to leave every night. In between if he’s not in class teaching, he’s helping somebody with their schedule in his office or attending one of the campus’ cultural events at night. On weekends he can be seen rooting for WPI athletic teams or even in his office preparing for the upcoming week. As a partial repayment for his help and kindness, the Senior Class held a surprise 70th birthday party for him. It took a minor miracle for 600 seniors to keep a secret, but it worked and he truly was surprised. Because of his upcoming retirement, other classes will not get the chance to know him. Finally, so he won’t forget the Class of ’86, the 111th volume of the Peddler is dedicated to this wonderful man, van A! 6 Dedication September hss DbaR class cp im I AM STILL OMERWHETMEd!

Just about every building on campus has appeared on a cover at one time or another. So, logically, when Founders Hall was opened in August, 1985, everyone assumed the cover of the 1986 Peddler would have it on its cover. But, boy, did we fool ’em. To those who feel cheated without a building cover, we apologize. Instead we’ve added the next best thing and issued a challenge. One day we set loose a photographer to capture as many buildings on film as possible to include on these two pages. (Little did we know that he thought the sundial in front of Boynton Hall was a building.) We hope these two pages make up for the graphic cover but now here comes our challenge. Which of these buildings have appeared on previous covers? The answer can be found on the bottom of the next page.

Here we were all right. It was August 28th — my First day at WPI. I had said good-bye to my little sister and my overly affectionate dog two hours ago as we Finally loaded all my stuff in. the car. Dad could r t baieve I had packed 4 so much; I was ifraid I had forgotten my favorite pair ofshoes. My parents and I had set out early to beat the “rush” and the heat and humidity, but we soon realized that the endless process of lugging suitcases up three flight of stairs was not conducive to staying cool at anytime of day. Everyone was in good spirits though, fnd was joking about the lovely green concrete dorm walls and the lack of storage space in good humor. The area unde, my bed soon became the choice loca¬ tion for shoes, notebooks, and the in¬ evitable dirty laundry. The rest of the day went smoothly, and I had a feeling of freedom and adventure as Mom and Dad (after 10 “make sure you eat righf’s and 25 “BE GOOD”s) left later that afternoon. My roommate and I decided that something . . . anything had to be done to hide or at least cover up the cement walls and linoleum floor. So up went the posters, memo boards an | bulletin board, and down went the rug. We threw in three or four plants, a couch, phorte, and re¬ frigerator and within a week our room was our home away from home. Of course our transition put a big dent in our budgets, so we both began writing our First of many letters home. Dorm and college life meant freedom — no curfew, nobody to tell you who to see or not see or tell you to do your homework and eat your veggies. But it also meant living without certain taken for granted luxuries® such as air conditioning, a color TV and Mom’s cooking and cleaning service. I remember seeing one guy standing in front of a washing machine with at least three weeks worth ' of dirty laundry. I tried not to laugh as he attempted to Fit it all in two machines and then asked me if now was tjjje right time to add the Cling Free. Where’s Mom when you need her?

At this booth Pep Band members give Techies the right message: Support Your School!! Daniels Hall residents find creative ways to decorate their doors and rooms.

Student Life 15 Apartment Life Surprise! You are number 1150 in the housing lottery, and have to say good-bye to that spacious quad in Founders Hall you had envisioned yourself living in next year. Big Deal, you say. Founders is soooo ex¬ pensive anyway, and this is the perfect ex¬ cuse you needed to convince Mom and Dad to let you move into an apartment— Right.! At the beginning of C-term many students find themselves in this situation and are forced to enter the race to find livable and well priced housing. The Office of Residential Life estimates that out of 2700 undergraduate students at WPI, ap¬ proximately 1500 live off campus, either in fraternity and sorority houses or apart¬ ments. And with 1500 college students flooding the WPI area in need of housing, the search to find an apartment tends to get a bit hectic. The great adventure of apartment hunt¬ ing involves a wide variety of choices. There are the gorgeous but expensive, North High and Salisbury Gardens, right on down to the “super-saver” $90-a-month run down buildings on Highland Street. Perhaps you know a senior with a great apartment and “inherit” it, but if this is not the case, you might be, much to your dis¬ may, spending most of your afternoons hoofing around Worcester to check out apartments. Locating an apartment and signing a lease are only the beginning of living on your own. Suddenly, you are confronted with unfamiliar problems you never encountered in the dorms. The bills that start to pile up must be paid on time. No more leaving the lights on all the time; con¬ serve energy and money! The heat that was always up around 90 degrees in the dorm is long gone, and most apartment renters opt for thermal underwear instead of raising the thermostat during those chilly New England winters. Gone are the good old days when you woke up and your bathroom was miracu¬ lously clean and stocked with toilet paper. Ajax and Soft Scrub take on new meaning in your vocabulary, and you begin the never-ending battle against cockroaches and other tiny friends that visit cookie cupboards. A select few are lucky enough to live underneath someone whose favorite pastime is doing Jane Fonda at 8 o’clock on a Saturday morning or have a phantom landlord who enters the twilight zone when the heat goes off in the dead of winter. Despite all these headaches, most under¬ graduates would not trade their off campus experience for life in the dorms. The freedom from Residential Life’s regula¬ tions offers student’s the opportunity to truly be on their own. Parties do not have to register, and there are no RAs to tell you to turn down your stero. Techies face real life situations while they enjoy the best of col¬ lege life. In fact, many students’ lasting memories of their years at WPI are of times just sitting around their apartment socializ¬ ing with good friends. 16 Student Life Do-It-Yourself Housing 1 ' ' ‘ ifw.. fcfiiNt WIKl A typically stocked student apartment includes: tuna fish, beer, peanut butter, beer, wine, beer, etc. Gee, the maid must have taken the weekend off (above).

Student Life 17 What’s the “latest rage,” the “popular fad,” or just “in?” In today’s ever-changing world, it’s difficult to keep up with trends. Throughout the world, people’s tastes, attitudes, and interests change at the debut of any new progression. Any exciting person, place, movement, or idea can spur a world-wide awareness and adoption of the resulting trend. Glances of student life at WPI reveal some evidence that the current trends have trickled their way into our campus through the students, who represent such a diverse cultural and geographic variety. Trends fall into many categories, rang¬ ing in areas such as food, fashion, music, language and politics, and disappear just as quickly as they appear. Coleco Corpora- Dare anyone be seen without their Reeboks on campus. 18 Student Lif 1 e The Latest Rage don’s “Cabbage Patch Kids” won the hearts of many children and adults across America. Throughout the year, stores sel¬ ling these dolls began actual “wait lists” to satisfy consumer demand, a similar proce¬ dure long ago instituted by WPI. Our na¬ tion raised its banners in protest against the “new Coca-Cola,” yet later toasted in victory, reinstating “Classic Coke” as “The Real Thing.” Other examples of trends are reflected in the youth of America. No young, aspiring basketball star would dare be caught without a pair of “AIR- JORDAN” sneakers, and dance moves are now incomplete without a few “moon walks” or “waves.” Europe has always been a great leader in fashion, an area considered to be the target of all trends. The “baggy look” seemed to be very popular abroad and at WPI, as students tossed on over-sized jackets, shirts, and sweaters for a nouveau and comfort¬ able look. “Swatches” were a trendy item this year, as Time took on a bright, bizarre forms of water-resistant watches. Students donned Vuarnet sunglasses or similar reproductions on sunny D-term days, while throwing on British Reebok or Converse high-top sneakers. California provided some flashy fashion in the “JAMS” and “Ocean Pacific” Sportswear. Hair styles also underwent some vogue changes. The ducktail of generations past has now been replaced by braided “tails,” radical hair symmetry, and hair coloring. More dramatic coiffures include “spikes,” “mohawks,” “whiffles,” or a sleek, shaven look. Television and music have an over¬ whelming influence on the world, directing attention to a variety of interests. “Miami Vice” star Don Johnson promotes the un¬ shaven, T-shirt and jacket appearance. Madonna adds a new definition to H What’s Hot, What’s Not The perfect outfit must include shades and a Swatch. Sue Loconto and friend get through the hot Worcester spring in style. At a price tag of about $70, Vuarnets were certainly one of the hottest fashion items this year. clothing accessories, and Michael Jackson put a new thrill into dancing. Bruce Spring¬ steen brought out the patriotism in everyone, and the bitterness of war and tragedy is ever so emphasized in many of U2’s lyrics. Never has the entire world responded to the issue of world famine through a continually growing trend, in¬ itiated by European rock artists BAND- AID. Millions and millions of dollars in food and aid have been raised through this philanthropic trend. BAND-AID’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” sparked the world to participate in other events such as “FARM AID,” “LIVE AID,” and USA FOR AFRICA’S “HANDS ACROSS AMERICA.” These musical events evoke an immense concern for the w r ell-being of our nation and other nations during diffi¬ cult and disheartening circumstances, yet simultaneously provide meaningful and popular music. Unlike other trends, these musical events remain emotional and memorable to individuals throughout the world. There are endless possibilities that in¬ stigate a trend. The students at WPI, of different backgrounds, attitudes, and ideals, adopt these trends in their own in¬ dividualistic manner, creating a very inter¬ esting atmosphere on campus.

Many organizations at WPI sponsored races, contests, and charity sales during the past year to assist a variety of groups. One of the more humorous fundraisers was the Ugly Man On Campus contest sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity. Students voted for a contestant whom they thought was the most unseemly, and all proceeds were donated to the charity of the winner’s choice. Another crowd pleasing fundraiser was Alpha Gamma Delta’s “Miss WPI Contest,” where daring Tech men competed in a beauty contest and were judged in categories such as “talent” and “swim wear” with one lucky “coed of the evening” being selected as Miss WPI. All proceeds went to Alpha Gam’s national philanthropy, Juvenile Diabetes. For the more athletically minded there was SAE’s Bed Race around the quad that raised $1000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Phi Sigma Sigma’s annual bowlathon to benefit the National Kidney Foundation which raised approximately $3000. One of the most ambitious fundraisers was Sigma Pi’s Miracle Mile for Multiple Sclerosis. The brothers sought to raise one mile in quarters by setting up game booths and entertaining shoppers at the Worcester Galleria for a weekend. The two day event certainly proved to be a success as the brothers raised $7500. During the past year, whether they were donating blood, collecting canned goods for the needy or acting as a Big Brother or Sister, Tech students played an active role in serving the community.

I’m so broke — I’ve spent everything that I earned over the summer and I still have to buy my Advanced Dynamics book. This is the pits. I should just get a job!” From time to time all of us wished we had ways of getting our hands on a little extra spending money. Some students were lucky enough to solve their cash problems with the familiar letter home. The majority of students at WPI, however, took to the streets to find jobs, either on campus or off, to help make ends meet. For the most part, WPI under¬ graduates found employment on campus. Many students qualified for work-study jobs through the Financial Aid Office, and were allowed to work a maximum of ten hours a week at mini¬ mum wage. In most cases, work studies were allowed to sign up (first come, first serve) for the job of their choice. A wide spectrum of employment opportunities on campus was available to students. For the ambitious and industrious un¬ dergrads there were lab jobs which usually involved assisting professors and graduate students with their research. Students working in the labs got to put their theoretical engineering knowledge to practical use, and become exposed to the research in emerging technologies going on at WPI. Other students opted for clerical jobs like working in OGCP, administrative offices and various department offices. In addition to supplying the needed in¬ come, these jobs provided an outlet to students who wanted to forget every¬ thing about engineering for a few hours a day. As an alternative to on campus work a few WPI students ventured off the hill in search of employment. One only needed to frequent the local pizza parlor or liqour store to see Tech students hard at work earning that extra cash. While most students would have rather traded their jobs for a few hours of free time, all agreed that life at college would have been no fun had they always been broke. So, as one student put it: “If getting up at 8 o’clock in the morning to work in the lab means I can go skiing more often, I’ll take this job and . . . the money.” At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, varsity athletics are the focus of much publicity and money. Fans pack Alumni Gym and Harrington Auditorium to cheer on Tech’s varsity players in NCAA Division III competition. Varsity sports, however, are not the only athletic opportunities available to WPI un¬ dergrads. The intramural program run by the Athletic Department offers Greeks, Freshmen, and other campus groups a wide variety of sports in which to partici¬ pate. And the participant’s views of the in¬ tramural competition range in intensity from “an afternoon of fun” to “triple overtime in the NBA final game.” The 1985-1986 intramural schedule, coordinated by Coach Mel Massucco was one of the most successful ever. With the renovated Alumni Field and the improved field lighting, there was more flexibility in scheduling games. Two hundred and An ATO player puts up a jump shot over a LCA defender.

Fiji recorded 756 points and captured third place. Although the serious competition for the intramural championship was dominated by fraternities, the majority of WPI under¬ grads found intramurals a welcome diver¬ sion from their studies.

The year begins with intense pressures to excel in 4000 level courses in order to prepare for the Comp. Meanwhile, seniors must go through the in¬ terview grind or grad school applications, while studying for the Comp and getting started on MQPs. Most often MQPs are neglected. The elation felt after passing the Comp is soon gone after one realizes that there are only 14 weeks left to complete a year long project you haven’t even begun, and that you don’t have a job. During C and D terms, courses are neglected, and energy is focused on the MQP and job search. As usual, however, MQPs are blown off until 3 or 4 weeks before they are due, at which time a mad, 24 hour party starts at WACCC and lasts for a month. When the MQP is finally done, seniors feel great. “Yeah!!! I’m done. We’re going to party now! Well, maybe after I find a job.” Student Life 39 ill Jr % r j1 p Student Life 41 Events Events 43 How Did You Spend Your Time? 44 Events Events 45 Where do you find a bright, orange pumpkin, three leopards, a bumble bee, three women in a tub, and ten men dressed as women?

If you don ' t recall, SOCCOM sponsored a Tootsie Look- Alike Contest at the party. To the delight and disbelief of those of us who watched, Tech males, dressed in the clothing and make-up of their female friends, swung their hips and flaunted their newly-developed” upper torsos. Many competed, but only one was chosen as the Tootsie of the Pub. After the Tootsie Contest and the awarding of prizes for Halloween costumes, the costumed danced and partied for hours. While a full moon glowed outdoors, howls were heard in the Goat ' s Head at the Monster Mash. 46 Events The Monster Mash Events 47 48 Events ■ Homecoming, What ' s It All About? Homecoming ' 85 meant something different to each of us. For the freshmen, it was their first big social event at WPI. Watching the floats, they felt very collegiate, experienc¬ ing their first Homecoming. However, be¬ cause they did not know any returning alumni, they also felt they did not belong, and were hesitant and uncertain as they watched groups of upperclassmen and alumni reunite. The sophomores, recognizing many familiar faces, felt happy that this year they did belong. A feeling of pride swelled up in them each time a returning alumnus approached and greeted them. Eager to know what it was like in the real world, they listened intently to stories of life as a professi¬ onal. As a senior, one experienced Homecoming with a totally different attitude than he had at previous Homecomings. As alumni caught up with the buddies with whom they spent four years of college, each senior watched and thought, That ' s going to be me next year. It was at Homecoming that each senior first ex¬ perienced the bittersweet feelings that go with the thought of leaving WPI. The alumni were the stars of the show at Homecoming. After all, that is the purpose of the day: to invite the Alumni back to WPI. Reliving a Saturday afternoon at college with old friends, watching the Engineers play another game, and reminiscing about the good ol ' days is what Homecoming is about. We all pretended to watch the football game, when actually we were socializing with our friends. None of us remember whether the Engineers won or lost the game. However, we remember the warm weather, the sunny sky, the colorful foliage, the sentimental feelings that always arise when we greet friends of old. Most importantly, we realized that every September, we can come back to Worcester, Massachusetts and feel welcomed to the place where we spent the four most important years of our life.

One feature of my matriculation at WPI which I did not read of in the school catalog is lifetime involvement in the annual Alumni Phonothon. Each Spring, greenery re¬ appeared both on the campus grounds and in the coffers of the Alumni Fund, through contributions gained during the Phonothon. The Phonothon, which has become a tradi¬ tion at WPI, was an event which involved many students. It gave students the opportu¬ nity to converse with Alumni and discover how their careers progressed after leaving WPI. (As an added benefit, those students who were interested in pursuing a career in sales were able to gain first-hand experience at asking people for money.) Most Alumni appreciated this contact with their Alma Mater, and many discussed their fraternities, favorite professors, or the recent changes in WPI ' s curriculum. The money received provided funding for the school and for finan¬ cial assistance for students. Events 57 Battle of the Bands C term ' 85. For two weeks, everywhere I went on campus, I spotted signs announcing the Battle of the Bands. I wondered, what is that? Always unaware of what was happening in the musicdl world, I thought that perhaps it was some sort of competition amongst the different types of music: Hard Rock, New Wave, Country, Soft Rock. Perhaps, America wanted to choose a national type of music, similar to the National Bird and National Flower. As the day approached, and students began hanging signs of bands with familiar faces on them, I realized WPI was giving its musically-inclined students a chance to appear in the spotlight. The bands competed for prizes, and, at the same time, provided the campus with some unique entertainment. 58 Events Events 59 A Saturday In The Sun , ' . ; s • , ■ (SO Events Events 61 Fooled ya! This is not part of the JP Weekend. Just as everyone was fooled in February, we did it again. Due to the uncompromising New England weather, Winter Weekend never included any outdoor activites. In 1985, SOCCOM decided to offer its own brand of outdoor fun, indoors: a boppin ' beach party, complete with beach sand, colorful beach umbrellas, swimming pools with cool, clear water, and even Ben Jerry ' s Ice Cream! Only one ingredient lacked in making a perfect Summer Party, however, the campus alcohol policy prohibited it. SOCCOM offered a creative alternative, Mocktails, and students devised their own not-so-creative alternatives (hint: Pre-Parties). All of us were excited to shed our wool sweaters and Winter doldrums, as we donned our Hawaiian shirts, shorts, and sunglasses. Motorists in the area looked twice as they passed groups of students walking in summer attire in the dead of Winter. The host for the evening strummed on his guitar and played favorites of past summers. As we rocked to the tunes of the Beach Boys and others of the seventies, we clapped our hands in the air and sang aloud. We ate ice cream, splashed in the pool and curled our toes in the sand. For one short night, in the middle of February, we adopted the carefree attitude of summer, and longed to see the sun and waves. 62 Events Life ' s A Beach Events 63 With its ornate ceilings and an elaborate atmosphere, Mechanics Hall was an ideal place to hold the 1986 Junior Prom. The decorative establishment certainly highlighted the theme Putting on the Ritz, with the ballroom lined with white linen-covered tables, colorful hors d ' oeuvres, and classy souvenir glasses for each couple. Students arrived via a double-decker bus and followed the winding staircases up towards the music of the band Jailbait. Playing many popular hit tunes, Jailbait kept the crowd alive and dancing, as the ballroom was constantly filled to capacity with bopping WPI students. Even the balconies overlooking the dance floor were crowded with couples dancing the night away. The students themselves certainly Put on the Ritz, with everyone dressed in sharp suits and ties or savvy dresses and high heels. After a great day on the Quad, the 1986 Junior Prom was indeed a festive ending to a fun and memorable Junior Prom weekend. 64 Events Events 65 66 Sports Sports 67 A «. . w - _ ■ ■ • ••■ •— B -B B m JK Y STICKERS CAPTURE STATE TITLE P t he 1985 Women’s Field Hockey went wild and counted for four more Team captured the state champi- goals during the second half.

The game itself became more enjoy¬ able and exciting with the greater ball speed and smoothness due to the turf. Key games throughout the season were the 2-1 win over the Tufts Jumbos and the incredible 6-2 win over Smith; both teams known for their skill and WPI showed their skill on the turt during the state tournament. The semi¬ final game against Nichols was dominated by WPI with a 4-0 win. Strong offense performances were given by sophomores Bridget Moriarty, Joanne Krawczyk and freshmen Carol Allen, and Nolet. Although WPI offen¬ sively dominated the final game against Wellesley, the opposing defense held strong. With only four minutes left in aggressiveness. The Engineers took the lead in the first half against Tufts with a goal by senior link and co-captain Chris Clancy. However, Tufts quickly answered with a goal of their own. The intensity of the game was held when freshman forward Kathy Goggins started the second half with a goal. The Jumbos were held back by tough defense played by halfbacks Danielle Lamarre, co-captain Jackie Thibeault, and Amy Swotinsky as well as senior co¬ captain Bronwyn O’Reilly at sweeper the game, a desperate goal by Goggins brought the 1-0 win and State Champi¬ onship title to WPI. Several members of the team made the New England College Field Hockey Association (NECFHA) All-Star teams. Both links, Clancy and junior Maureen (Moe) McGlone made the second team, while the third team included Moriarty, Nolet, and Goggins as forwards, Thibeault as halfback, and JJ Bell at goalie.

Two freshmen, Debbie Blair and Michele Dwyer stepped into the first and third positions in singles respec¬ tively. The two were the only WPI players invited to compete in the MAIAW Tournament in early October and although they failed to advance, showed promise and should provide a strong nucleus to build around in the fu¬ ture.

Traci, at number two singles, compiled a winning record while juniors Christina Tondora and Jackie Hurst provided depth the team needed at singles.

The team prepared to show everyone that they could overcome the challenge and achieve a good season with their 14 new starters in the line-up and a new field under their feet. The players came into camp a week before school started expecting to jump right on the new Omni-turf. This was not to be, the field wasn’t quite ready yet so the team made arrangements to practice on the Worcester Voke field for a few days which turned into a week. Finally on the field, the players began to get acquainted with the scrapes and burns obtained by merely falling on this synthetic surface. A few weeks later the team finally mastered the Omni-turf and, wrapped head to toe, were ready to take on all challengers. The first were a tough Fordham team who still had bad ; tastes in their mouths because of the way we beat them last year (a final second field goal by now graduated L Dean Ayotte). Fordham came in ready for everything but the exhaustion caused by the increased heat and hardness of the turf. By the fourth quarter all of the Rams were sucking wind. The Engineers took over and, with the help of their new friend and twelfth man (the turf), defeated Fordham (10-7). The Engineers next traveled to New -Lj ; London, CT to face rival Coast Guard S only to come up on the short o ;.n it? a 19-16 well fought battle. Then Tufts came into town to avenge t loss to WPI last year but, like Fordham, couldn’t muster enough strength to overcome the fourth quarter on the turf. The Jumbos, as well, fell to defeat and the Engineers emerged victorious again by a 21-13 margin. With a 2-1 record the team prepared for the toughest game of the season. Union away. This year the Engineers proved to the Dutchmen that they were no pushover. WPI had 1 this game under control 7-6 through three quarters. Then at the beginning of the fourth quarter a member of the Union team broke through the Engineers punt coverage, blocked the kick and ran it 56 yards for a Union touchdown. The conversion failed leaving the score 12-7. Neither team could come up with any offense in the fourth quarter. Union found themselves backed u; continued on pagt gHg IBP! IDEM LULU!

For the second straight year, the . Engineers worked their way through the dual meet season with only one loss, as they finished with a .15-1 record. Picked to finish second in the competitive NECCWA Championships, the Engineers did just that crowning individual champions in three categories. Sophomore Jason Benoit looked strong in capturing the 126 lb. Championship, while seniors Bob Soares and Nick Triantafell contributed greatly to the success of the team by downing their opponents in the 134 lb. and 158 lb. categories, respectively. The Engineers had a relatively easy time in posting a 15-1 record winning all but three of their victories by more than 10 pts. One of those wins occurred against the team which they ended up losing to in the New Englands. This was a 27-18 victory over Coast Guard toward the latter part of the season.. Two WPI wrestlers were honored by being named Academic All-Americans by the NCAA Div. Ill Wrestling Coaches Assoc. These were junior Don Pagel and Senior Triantafell. Pagel who has been named a co-captain for the ’86-’87 season compiled a 13-0-2 record while Triantafell finished at 13-0. Other individual varsity performances were as follows: Seniors Soares (10-0-1), Nate Hanson (8-4-2), and Steve Graveline (9-2); Juniors Bob Carroll (7-2-1), John Quint (4-2), John Curll (6-7-1), and Steve Hall (6-2); Sophomore Benoit (12-0-1).

The Lady Engineers began the season on a winning note by dominating the Worcester City Tournament. In the opening game of the tournament, WPI defeated Worcester State by a score of 76-61. WPI launched a balanced scoring attack with four players in double figures. Co-Captain Kim Fay led the way with 21 points. Donna Leonard and Cindy Perkins dominated the boards with 11 and 14 rebounds, respectively, while contributing a combined total of 35 points. Co-Captain Mara Catlin rounded out the scoring with 10 points. In the Championship Game, against cross-town rival Clark, the Lady Engineers came away the victor by 2 points. It seemed that WPI was well on its way to a stellar season. After five games, the engineers held a 4-1 record with one disappointing loss to a tough Emmanuel College team. Just as the WPI Women were preparing for two of their strongest opponents, Cindy Perkins was lost to an ankle injury. With the loss of a starting forward the team’s morale and continuity suffered. The Engineers lost their next three games to Bridgewater State, Rhode Island College and Framingham State. However, the team bounced back with 5 out of 6 wins which gave them a 9-5 record. In February, the Lady Engineers travelled to Waterville, ME for the Colby Invitational Tournament. Here they played two of their strongest games of the season. WPI surprised the nationally ranked University of Southern Maine with a close contest losing by only 4 points; 73-69. Perkins and Fay combined for 51 points in this game. In the consolation game against UMASS-Boston WPI won 84-70 to place third in the tournament. Donna Leonard had her strongest game of the year tearing down 19 rebounds and putting in 26 points. For the remainder of the season the Engineers broke even with 3 wins and 3 losses. One of these game included a bitter loss to Clark as the Cougar’s avenged their earlier loss. During the senior’s final home game, against Trinity College, Kim Fay surpassed Teresa Kwiatkowski’s record to become WPI’s all-time leading female scorer with 1475 1 _L Ml II ■■■■ ■ 1 j 1 4i [|j ■ mm — II ■■■■■■MiSISRmiBii Senior Mara Catlin (far left) looks to the inside for an open player.

The Lady Engineers ended their regular season on a winning note defeating Trinity by a score f 59-52. The WPI Women ended their season with a 13-9 record which qualified them for post-season play in the MAIAW Tournament. Unfortunately, the Engineers were eliminated in the first game which left them at 13-10. Although the : i|£ngineers had a disappointing final record, Coach Graves was pleased with the overall performance of individual team members. This season marked the end of some memorable careers. The shooting ability of Kim Fay will be sorely missed as she averaged 18.4 “IS points per game. Leading the team in rebounds, Donna Leonard had her strongest season averaging 13.5 bounds and 13.8 points per game, nee again co-captain Mara Catlin _ave the team depth at the forward position by providing team leadership as well as contributing her well-balanced play on the court. Senior Amy Swotinsky was often called upon to provide “instant defense” off the bench for the Lady Engineers. Returning next year for the Lady Engineers are starters Cindy Perkins and Kathy O’Neil as well as point guard Cathy Murray after a year’s absence. O’Neil did a good job running the team in Murray’s sence, contributing 3.5 points per e and averaging 72% free throw ■ percentage. Sophomore Eileen Sullivan and Freshman Debbie Carelli were strong contributors off the bench this year and will be seeing much more playing time next year. ■■ ,, Co-captain Kim Fay (left) sets up the offense.

Ml i i i i Goif : 111 RUGBY TEAM EXPERIENCES REBUILDING SEASON D ue to the graduation of ten seniors, the WPI Rugby Football Club experienced a rebuilding season in the fall of 1985. Fortunately, for the first time in its five year history, the club had a full-time coach. Billy Crotty from Limerick, Ireland “ran” the practices and operated as player-coach from the scrumhalf position on Saturdays. During the first game of the season, the young ruggers tied cross-town rivals Holy Cross in a very physical game. By the time the final whistle blew, Holy Cross lost three players while WPI lost four. Players out for the year included seniors Marc Gruslin and Ira Silverman and junior Ed Werner. Nevertheless, the team continued to function by beating North Adams State. Next, the ruggers played its annual game against the alumni on Homecoming weekend. The Tech alumni, many of which still play rugby in men’s clubs, managed to beat the undergraduates. The fall season ended with the annual Worcester Rugby Festival. WPI played well but lost against both the Worcester and Thames River Men’s Clubs. The women’s rugby club played three games during the 1985 fall season. They lost to strong UCONN and Tufts teams while besting MIT. The 1986 spring trip was to the University of Delaware for a weekend of rugby and “fun.” WPI fielded three sides which were composed of alumni and new players, as well as experienced ones. During the first two games, WPI came up short against some strong play by the Delaware back. However, Tech “redeemed thy selves” in the third game with a come-from-behind win. In the spring season, the rugby club enjoyed playing on its own pitch for the first time at Green Hill Park. Unfortunately, the team did not enjoy a winning season. One bright spot of the season occurred during the first annual Rugby Collegiate Tournament. WPI first played Holy Cross. The game was scoreless until a Holy Cross forward ran to the weak side and scored a try. Holy Cross won 6-0. Next, WPI beat Worcester State 16-0 to take second place. Due to the lack of participation, the women’s spring season was dropped. The 1986 graduating ruggers are Adam Bosnian, Pete Caffrey, Marc Gruslin, Ira Silverman, Jeff Kelly, and Stew Smith.

Since most of the team consisted of underclassmen, Coach Chapman never had the experienced players needed to have a successful season. The team only had two seniors so this was definitely a major rebuilding year. The Lady Engineers started out the season on a high note as they won their first two games against Coast Guard. Freshman pitcher Debbie Carelli debuted with a shutout and ' . m was still able to pitch in the second game. She obtained the victory in this one also, despite early trouble. She got plenty of support, though, from the two seniors on the squad, third baseman Amy Swotinsky and catcher Jackie Thibeault. Their experience in tight situations helped out tremendously. The next five games were a different story than the first two. The team did not appear to be the same team at all. Carelli continued to pitch consistent softball but failed to receive the necessary support in the field. Errors and unearned runs spelled defeat for this young inexperienced team and would continue to do so for most of the remainder of the season. At one point in the season the Lady Engineers lost four in a row being outscored in those games 39-10. The softball team definitely does have reason to be optimistic about their future. With only two seniors graduating and such a disappointing season behind them these women are eager to prove to other teams and to themselves that they have the potential to post a winning season and a possible chance at a playoff bid.

The Tech nine broke the record for most wins in one year for WPI and for the first time in their history a player was named All-American for Division III. The engineers started off the season with a bang as they took a seven game road trip down south and played some very important pre-season games. They finished this road trip by winning four and losing three. They kept up their winning ways in gaining victories in the next three games to up their record to 7-3. Although WPI was gaining many victories. Coach Culpepper still was not as pleased with his team during the early stages as he should have been. “I’m disappointed in the number of errors we’ve committed. We’ve committed far too many errors,” the coach sai d. They certainly did have far too many errors. (33 errors in the first 13 games) It was because of this that the remainder of the season was up and down. The Engineers finished the season with a record number of 16 wins and an overall record of 16-13-1. A highlight of the season occurred when WPI faced Anna Maria college. Senior first baseman Chris Curtis displayed his versatility as an athlete as he played one inning of the nine-inning contest at each position. As co-captain he turned in the line-up card before the game, started the game in the outfield, and pitched the fifth inning gaining him the victory in the game. But the story of the season came when at the beginning of June, a WPI player was chosen as 3rd Team Division III All-American. Junior outfielder Mike Shipulski attained a feat which no other WPI player has ever attained. Shipulski finished the season batting over .500 while leading WPI in nearly every offensive category. He has raised his average each of the three years here and hopes to accomplish greater feats next year. The outlook for WPI as a team next year looks great as they return three other players who were candidates for receiving All-New England honors. They are junior pitcher outfielder Dave Scala, junior infielder Steve Nolan, and freshman catcher Kevin O’Connell. With such great talent returning, WPI hopes to top their 16 win performance next year. Capt. Dan Coaldey (below) adjusts his batting gloves as he watches the game.

Dean Trask calls all the seniors to the “most important meeting of their lives,’’ and welcomes them to the “meat market!’ From there, it is a process of researching companies, determining which ones are most appealing, and playing the preference card game. How low a preference card do you throw to get an interview with the company you want? Now you’re on a schedule!! Get out the suit!! Find ALL the accessories to match!! (even if it means borrowing from your roommates). Once in the interview, you run through the typical questions (hopefully sounding impressive). The interview ends with the old statement, “Well, it’s been a pleasure and you’ll be hearing from us soon.’’ Then you wait and wait and wait . . . always checking your mailbox hourly just to see air. Even if you receive a rejection, at least it is an acknowledgement that you existed. But, once one rejection comes, it is like a chain reaction and they all come piling in. Or worse the dreaded STALL LETTER where the company is searching for a position to meet your interests and qualifications. Again, they state that you’ll be hearing shortly. This whole complicated mess has a purpose though, and after much duress, most of us come through it with direction in the job market. ASK DESK PERSON TO ADD OR CANCEL APPT. ON GREEN SHEET?

The strengths that I thought were here happen to be true, such as the faculty, the students, the physical plant, good endowment, and interested trustees. But what has been parti¬ cularly surprising is that the scholarship of, not all of the faculty, but certainly a large part is far better than known to be. We’ve got a faculty that can hold their own against any faculty in the country: In the quality of their work, their sponsorship etc . . . Peddler: Where do you see WPI going as a school in the next five to ten years? Strauss: I don’t see any dramatic changes in any direction. I see more and better of the same. More emphasis on the Plan. Peddler: What do you see as the major weaknesses of WPI at this time? Strauss: We have to improve our ability to attract quality faculty. We have to improve our ability to attract quality students. You’ve heard the horror stories about the demographics and the fact that there will be less 18 and 19 year olds in the next decade. We have this issue about maintaining our enrollment. We have to maintain our enrollment in order to continue our quality improvements, because of our commitment to our faculty through tenure. If we retrench what happens is we retrench at our younger faculty which are exactly 5 the people who are infusing the program with new excitement and energy. So if we are to continue to grow in quality, not a growth in size, we have got to make it possible to continue to hire new faculty. To maintain our enrollment we have to get a larger share of a declining market. That sounds easy, but it isn’t. And every other institution is going to try to do the same thing. Clearly we can’t all do it. Peddler: Do you think it was necessary for the campus to become dry? Strauss: I did it, because I thought it was necessary. We have a million dollars of liability insurance for alcohol related incidents, but if we were ever sued we could get massacred and lose some of our endowment. This would put the future of this institution into jeopardy. Unfortunately, the students coming into WPI will not learn responsible use of alcohol, which I feel is a very large part of college life and one thing you take with you into the future. But again to protect the future of this institution I felt it was necessary. 154 Seniors David J. Perrotta - Electrical Engineering Jeannine M. Peters Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Joseph M.

Once again, the faculty and administration demon strated their power by the postponement. In previous years, Seniors would either take their final exams early or not at all. Another problem encountered was WPI’s reputation on the Cape. Because of the amount of room damage done by the Class of ' 85 at their hotel, none were willing to take us on as guests. Luckily, the Hyannis Regency welcomed us at the last minute and the more than 300 seniors who attended had a great time. Beautiful skies and warm temperatures prevailed throughout the three days as clouds and rain were in the forecast for Worcester. After a day at the beach, Monday, the class partied at the club, Pufferbellies, which opened early specially for WPI. Tuesday ' s great beach day was followed by a clambake at the Bass River Rod Gun Club. Clams, lobster, steak and corn-on-the-cob were enjoyed by all. The last hurrah of the trip was held at the Mill Hill Club. Wednesday was getaway day to prepare for the Commencement festivities. 232 Cape Trip Cape Trip 233 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Matthew Paul Colangelo Civil Engineering Philip Au stin Cvr Medianical Engineering Anthony Adam Devoe Physics Barry Dino Colella Electrical Engineering Michael Joseph Commisso Electrical Engineering (Awarded October 14, 1985) John Desmond Cook Chan ical Engineering Scott Leonard Cormier ‘Daniel Joseph Czabaj Mathematics Deborah Ann Czujko Civil Engi 1eeririg John Patrick DahifP Mechanical A Management (Awarded October 14 )■ A Shth Hy S ith Dr- 234 Cape Trip .A yvv| :xxxxxxxxxxx .XX! - ■■ ' With High Distinction _ _ .

The Celtics defeated the Houston Rockets four games to two in hoisting the 16th Championship banner in the Boston Garden. The 1986 Peddler was printed by the Hunter Publishing Company of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There are 256 pages, 24 of which are printed in 8 4 color. Also, 16 pages contained spot color. Black ink was used on dull paper through most of the publication. Glossy paper was used on the color pages. The cover design, a litho process color, was printed using two inks PMS ’s 291 (blue) and 202 (maroon) over a white book cloth base wrapped around a 160 pt. binders board with lamination for protection. The end sheets are on a special white linen 65 lb cover weight paper stock 139 printed with a different design on the front and back using a black ink. Many different copy styles and point sizes were used. As I sit and try to think of a way to conclude this 111th Volume of the Peddler, I am reminded of all the work that was put in by the staff and the unsung heroes who came through in the clutch. This book was actually started in April, 1985 and is finally being concluded today, June 20, 1986. During that time many people were called on for some information here or a picture there. To all of you collectively, I say a big THA NK YOU!! Our own editorial staff was probably the most experienced ever. Eight of us had been section editors on last year’s book. We tried to learn from our mistakes such as procrastination but still, there were a few of us at 4:30 in the morning on Deadline Day hammering away at the last few details on the book. Will we ever learn? Because of our experience, we broke new grounds and tried to shy away from the more conservative books of the past few years. (We even thought of having another centerfold but we couldn’t get van A to stop moving for five minutes so we could take his picture.) The new laminated cover minus a building was probably our biggest change. The elimination of the News and Academics sections gave us the freedom to add in the new Student Life section. But with all the changes on campus, articles of news events pertinent to seniors were interspersed throughout the Senior section. Some of these ideas were introduced by our yearbook representative, Arnie Lohmann. Supplies and ideas were usually given to us whenever we requested them. And now I get to write about Norm Benrimo, our photography representative from Yearbook Associates. He’s the youngest sixty-nine year old person I’ve ever met and it’s truly been a pleasure being acquainted with him. He touched many people on campus with his antics and his bad jokes while photographing them. Most seniors will remember him as the lunatic who took our senior class picture ir the 20°, 45 mph wind. Norm always made sure our photographers had enough film and equipment, while his son Jeff, kept us supplied with the best custom color prints known to mankind. Lest I forget Norm’s greatest attribute: his bottomless expense account that kept me well-nourished and high-spirited during those long lunches at Legal Seafoods. Norm, thanks. Finally, I must thank my parents for all the times I had to borrow their car to driv to Worcester from home to work on the book. My poor mother had to put up with many a night where the table was cluttered with papers and pictures. Also, thanks Babci, for helping me stuff and lick those Parent’s Ads envelopes. I hope everyone enjoys the improvements in Peddler ’86 and let me be the first in wishing John a Peddler ’87 that is ten times better than its predecessor 256 End j i
