A Few Words of Explanation David L. Leibtag Editor-in-Chief Howard L. Dorfman Editor-in-Chief When we were elected Eitors-in-Chief of MASMID ' 71, the promise was made — our yearbook was going to be different, ours was to be the break with the ster- eotyped yearbooks of previous years, and other such words of BS. Well, you thought that it was all BS. And now, if you ' re taking the time to read this editors ' mes- sage, you ' re ready for the same old trite opening sec- tion with the same old corny digs at old Yeshini Tech, to be followed by the same old activity and sports shots, together with the usual senior section. And you ' d be satisfied, right? After all, what is a yearbook, anyway ? In our opinion, a yearbook can be more than a rag- tag collection of group shots and glittering generalities about college life. Let ' s face it — we ' ve spent the last four years together at Yeshiva College. Roughly, that adds up to some 1200 bullshit sessions, 200 all-nigh- ters, 920 hamburgers, french fries and cokes, and countless skipped meals, blind dates, and cut classes. We ' ve been pushed, prodded, cadjoled, threatened, lec- tured to, yelled at, and talked down to. No matter how you slice it any yearbook that does not attempt, in some way, to recall those days of wine and roses in some detail has failed to represent those four years. In these volumes, we ' ve made the attempt. Before you read this yearbook, forget any precon- ceived notions you might have as to what a yearbook is supposed to look like. Most probably, what you will read and see will bear little, if any, resemblence to your concept. Since Yeshiva University bears little resembl- ence to any other college in the United States, we felt that any effort to describe her should take a radically different approach. MASMID ' 71 has been published in two volumes. Volume One deals with the idea and concept of Yeshi- va University — its principles, its attributes, its faults. It is, we hope, some picture of the unique character of the University. Sure we ' re different — but how are we different? And, perhaps more important, why are we different? Volume Two deals with the people of Yeshiva Uni- versity — administration, faculty, and students. This year, we ' ve interviewed members of the administration and faculty and published their views of the university, religion, the character of the student body — even a little about sex. It might be a little late, but it ' s kind of nice to know that some members of the ' ruling class ' have some ideas about things outside the classroom. All in all, we feel that this year ' s MASMID attempts to answer part of the question, What is Yeshiva University? Obviously, everyone has some answer of his own. However, we feel that this yearbook sheds some light on the enigma that is Yeshiva. Besides, when you ' re married and have children, you can al- ways show them this yearbook when they ask you, What did you do during the war, Daddy ?
