YESHIVA UNIVERSITY Class of 1985 Are the Largest and Brightest Class in Yeshiva University History Rabbi Israel Miller: Sept. 5, 1981 1981 _ of the Y.U. Centennial (1886-1986) Through Crusader castles and snowy mountains, by golden beaches and ice-glazed rivers, they fought a bitter war. The soldiers of Milhemet Shlom Hagalil are businessmen and farmers, fashion designers and mechanics, professors and construction contractors, our friends from Yeshivot Hesder, our cousins in Haifa, our neighbors who made Aliyah to Jerusalem. Hoping to preserve the lives of the Galil ' s inhabitants now and in the future, they lost many of their own lives. As the smallest possible token of our indebtedness and appreciation, we dedicate this year- book to them. The Lebanon War was the most painful in Israel ' s history. For the first time the soldiers fought without the support of a national consensus behind them; also, many were unclear as to the ultimate goals of the war. Especially because of this, the Israeli soldiers deserve our respect and support. For whatever debates rage about the political aspect of the war, the conduct of the soldiers is worthy of admiration. They fought bravely, pursued their goals valiantly, and acted humanely in the midst of the most in- human conditions. Strong as cedars and gentle as deer, they battled strenuously to bring peace to their northern border and a semblance of order to a troubled land. Once more Israel and her people have impressed us with awed respect and admiration, but again the occasion is a tragic one. We hope that in the future these men and women can struggle not with weapons but with plows, scalpels, and watercolors; may they work together as well and as unitedly as they did in Lebanon, but with the only task before them the furtherance of a decent and productive national life within the borders of Eretz Israel. m ' jP V f i H The idea of Torch Ll ' modo flifs rhrough oil ospecrs of the college; ir shows up in odd places and strongly influences the flavor of fhe whole, like birs of Cheddar cheese in a chef ' s salad. And we hove heard ir discussed rime ofrer fime. We hove heard ir debored, berored, expounded, confound- ed, eulogized, criricized, perfecred, dissecred. We ' ve seen ir used ro churn our public relarions mareria l, as fresh heads of cabbage are rurned in- ro cole-slaw. We ' re roo used ro rhe idea, roo nunnbed by irs frequenr use for cynical purposes. We ore ofren unoble ro realize rhar Toroh U ' modo plays o viral ond consronr role in our doy ro day life or Yeshiva. The images of Torch Ll ' modo ore clear and shorp for us all. Who hosn ' r seen the wonderful picrure of rabbis — generously bearded, garbed in block — sronding with o hosr of sifrei roroh on rhe steps before rhe originol IXobbi Isaac Elchonon Theological Seminary? Who hosnr seen photographs of Yeshiva students, distinctive in their kippot or denim skirts, toiling in front of computers ond test-tubes? Who hasn ' t been con- fronted with an imoge of secular and sacred books mingled on a desk with the straps of t ' fillin? These ore all good images, poetic images, suggestive im- ages. They tell us much about the con- cepts of Toroh U ' modo: continuity with the post, interest in modernity, synthesis. But they don ' t tell us a heck of a lot about how the idea of Torah U ' moda permeates our life at the college, like soy souce permeates a pepper steak. This is on aspect well worth considering. For insronce, we hove school on Chonuko. Shiur and Jewish studies on Chonuko is one rhing; bur it ' s crazy rhor we hove ro sir through lectures on Vic- torian poetry ond Quantum mechanics when our minds ore filled with Mocobees and twirling dreydls. Be that as it may, every nighr for o week we trudge bock to class to light Chonuko candles in the holls. With our heovy books and our shoes wet from the snow, we shiep out choirs, overturned garbage cons, little tables, ond we light the menoroh. This yeor, the members of one floor in Morg started singing Chonuko zmirot after hodlokot nerot. Maybe It was the spirit of the day, maybe it was the spirited music someone was ploying on his saxophone, but all of a sudden they started to donee. Soon the dancers ran wild through all the rooms, pulling people owoy from the telephone, grobbing them out of bed. Cramming into the elevator, they came to the next floor, song ond danced and recruited more people. They visited every floor, they shanghaied every guy they met to donee with them. Finally they reached the lobby; tired as they were from the long school day, they found the strength to whirl for half on hour in a circle Ground the confused security guards. They sang louder ond louder. Thot, my friend, is Toroh U ' mado. Lit • ! ] I No college campus is complere wirhour o dromoric society, and YC is forrunore to hove the exciremenr of the Yeshivo College Dromoric Society. The excellence of YCD5 producrions ore lorgely due ro the dedicorion of the ocrors and rhe exrroordinory omounr of rime rhey spend rehearsing. Recently, o group of students hod o strong, burning desire to act. However, they could not put in the time YCDS demanded, because rhey hod previous commitments in the form of night seders and rhe like. So rhe Yeshivo College Jewish Theotre was formed. In the spirit of Judy Gorlond ond Mickey Rooney, they decided to put on o show for the Spring Festival of the Arts at Yeshivo. I con get the fourth floor of rhe library, one of them said. I con get o local butcher store to donote the props we need, said another. The students built the sets, direcred rhe ploy, acted, and organized musicol accomponiment. They didn ' t socrifice any of their time set aside for learning at night. The crowds loved their ploy; and the critics roved. Toroh U ' moda. Afrer elemenrory school few people in America really celebrate Tu Dshvor. We ' re no longer presented with o bog full of ex- otic fruit We ourselves nnust run off to the grocery ot the lost minute and buy figlets from California In order to be yotse the shehecheyonu No one over thirteen sings Hoshkediyo Porochot ony more. This post Tu D ' shvQt was a cold ond snowy doy. Everyone thought that the only way we would notice the chog would be the much appreciated skipping of tochonun. But in the cofeterio ot lunchtime, omong the shapeless eggplant cutlets and tomato-soaked stews, was a bowl filled with fruit. Here were figs and dotes; here were raisins and nuts; here were sticks of the fruit which looks like pieces of dried rub- ber, which no one sees except on Tu D ' shvat. Shehecheyonu was no problem, and o mood of holiday come to the Yeshivo students Only in on atmosphere of Toroh U ' moda could a schooldoy be so suffused with the special feeling of a chog. Campus conrroversy is on imporronr aspect of col- lege life. In the weeks before Meir Kohane came to speak here, orgumenrs raged about whether he should be allowed to speak, whether he should hove been in- vited, whether we should react strongly to his coming. The evening he spoke, students formed o moss protest rally, voicing objections not to his presence but to his views. The protest was so strong that Kohone hod fo be slipped in o bock door to ovoid a confrontation with the protesters. The scene could hove been o sixties demonstration against the war in Vietnam. Except for one thing: inside the hall, Kohone defended his radical views with words from haiachic and biblical sources. Outside the protesters waved signs inscribed with psukim in bold letters. The demonstrators song songs of peace and universal understanding, token not from Dylan or Boez but from the words of the Toroh. The yearly cycle or Yeshivo is rhe Jewish cycle. Our college doys ore filled wirh Jewish legrnir g and values; our yeshivo doys ore filled wirh rhe (Iberol orrs ond in- volvemenr in Western sociery. The whole atmosphere is sorurored wirh rhe Holocho as o lorke is sorurored wirh oil. If you wonr on ideologicol exominorion of Toroh U ' nnoda, rake a look or Robbi Cormy ' s excellenr Toroh U ' nnadQ reader. If you wonr a mindless gloriflcorion of rhe concepr, YUPP, con provide you wirh sufficient moreriol. If you would like a poetic description, Cynrhio Ozick has a beautiful one in her lorest novel, The Can- nibal Galaxy. But if you wont to understond, or ro remember, how Toroh U ' modo offecrs us srudenrs os we study ot Yeshivo, take o simple look at any aspect of student life. Stop ond consider: this college is not like oil other colleges. There is something very special obour it; wirh oil its foults this ottroction mokes it sometimes irresistoble. That is Toroh U ' modo. Yeshiva University o ' f ' q ' president February 27, 1985 TO THE TESHIVA COLLEGE CLASS OP 1985: Bv accident of the calendar, you have a very special distinction: You are the last class of the first century of the existence of Yeshiva University. Your class has achieved a splendid record at Yeshiva College — competent, constructive, and cooperative. You are an ideal microcosm of Yeshiva College as a whole. As you march on to the future — in careers, families, and personal growth - we are confident that you will represent Yeshiva University with dignity, implementing the ideals of Torah Umadda In a manner that will reflect glory upon your alma mater . I wi a cr sh you the years, the strength, and the happiness to m? a i;ieative contribution to your communities, to America, Israel, and to the Torah which you studied so assiduously during your years here and which, I hope, will continue to be your life and the length of your days.

NY 10033-3299 (212) 960-5214 March 15, 1985 Dear Graduates: You have successfully completed your studies at Yeshiva College. This is more than a personal achievement. As members of our fifty- fourth graduating class, you share with your classmates and more than a half-century of alumni a commitment to the Yeshiva University ideal of Torah u ' Madda. This commitment has required an enormous investment of time and energy. You have chosen to involve yourselves in a rigorous dual program, each component of which is in itself demanding of full time attention. You have accepted the challenge of integrating your Torah studies with what is best in Western civilization and culture. Your success in meeting this challenge and realizing the University ideal will be reflected in your lives and careers. You are fortunate tn having as models those graduates who have demonstrated in their lives and careers that this challenge can be met successfully and that the Torah u ' Madda ideal retains its freshness and vitality. Therefore, as you leave Yeshiva College, I congratulate you, I wish you well, and I urge you to bear in mind that you will be the models for future Yeshiva College men.

A terrible battle raged over restructuring the curriculum. Students greeted the proposal with either: Oh yeh! This here college is going to let us do whatever the heck we want, or this university surely must remember its respon- sibility in espousing the great philosophy of liberal art education. Wurzweiler was about to move uptown, and many faculty members led us to believe that the move would involve ao influx of scantily clad, seductive graduate students ( who turned out to be mainly nuns, male social workers, and middle aged housewives). We were surprised to read in the New York Times that Yeshiva would soon be closing down. We just got here! Was it something we said? The problem was financial and it was remedied by Yeshiva ' ' s appeal to the public for one hundred million dollars. Is that not chutzpah? A rash of muggings descended on Yeshiva students like a plague. Remembering the small amount of the security forces at that time, we are tempted to say (before we think better of it) ' ' ' ' Thank goodness for the sniper! We returned lo school nexl Seplember — Bui wait, did we? No, we left Washington Heights for a year in Israel. However a number of students stayed behind and actually continued college! What a year those V.C. Sophomores had. Again Yeshiva made the New York Times, this time for the extraordinary achievement of holding an elaborate M A S H Bash, bidding farewell to the 4077. We bid farewell lo another military man, the beloved Colonel Marmorstein, who retired after doing whatever could be done lo keep us secure in the pre-sniper years. The college was censured for the innocuous, totally blameless act of firing a tenured faculty member. There was censure from other sources because of the establishment of the Y.U. cheerleading squad, a group of dedicated Stem women who followed the basketball team around from game lo game. One team member responded to the loud criticism with the memorable quote, The cheerleaders help to ease tension on the busride to the games. No one ever figured that one out.

Commie board members threatened to sue the Observer for libel. Baying that not the Commentator staff, but the Observer women were acting with ' ' mawttchous intent ' ' .1 ' f s B BJ We settled back into school our third year, comfortable and already at home. A dynamic student council was elected which sponsored various cultural events, such as lectures, concerts, and smashing up a car during midterm week. Because of these and other controversial events, the student council was accused of Hellenism. That ' s ridiculous, responded the Student Council president at the Y.C.S.C. toga party, clad in a toga and crowned with a laurel wreath. We reject Hellenism as much as the next guy.

On a more serious note, a malicious sniper struck, stalking Yeshiva students with tragic results. We were warmed by the support of the entire Jewish community. The orthodox students of a city college, for example, had T-shirts made up that said Don ' t shoot. I go to Queens. ' ' To decorate the area, the administration bought flowers, trees, and benches, the last of which were soon labelled sitting duck ' benches, and were surprisingly rarely used. The fabled gym began to rise, or more exactly, construction crews began ripping up the grass and hedges in the back of Danziger Campus. Purim fun at Yeshiva was enhanced by the Hymietator, with jokes that Jesse Jackson, the inspiration for the issue, would have been proud of. Senior year. Ah, senior year. No worries, no pressures. Wail, why are we all still in the library studying? Why are we still rushing from class to class? Aaah — GRE ' s, and M-CATs, and L-SAT ' s, and the almighty Kaplan ' s. Who said that senior year is a breeze? It ' s more like a small hurricane. But still there is a certain spirit in the air, a greater tendency to cut classes and push off schoolwork. YCSC sponsored a highly controversial political party (neither Demo Tatic nor Republican) on election eve. Original posters advertising the event included the letters ' BYOB — which does not stand for Bring your old Bubby. Meir Kahane spoke at the college, eliciting fervent responses and the most violent public protest here since security threatened to discontinue van service between Y.C. and Stern.

Soon we ' ll sit ' neath traffic lights Bored by the best speakers, and snore or snort By our million dollar basketball court. We ' ve yearned for this, we ' ve earned this parchment burned With red ribbons, mouthing like gibbons all we ' ve learned. But classes? I don ' t remember classes. Remember rather the important things: Hoagies, movies, village-punk-rock glasses, Stern vans, Broadway, large engagement rings. Fire Extinguishers spraying swords of water. Baseball in the hall, hours on the phone, College friendships, pac-man for a quarter. Waking chavrutas so you won ' t learn alone, Teachers fat and thin, excellent or bad Caravans to Bernstein ' s, lab ' till ten o ' clock, Counting by bottles how much beer you had, Finding burgers below your dirty sock. Why me? Was I worthy at last to reap The dis- and advantages these all heap On me? The campus, with all its factors. Domes and towers, vans and gyms and tract Straight through the stones it too demands me true And asks with sneer or smile or tear, Why You? The Heights of My College Career by Naftall R. Friedman Looking back at my four years at Yeshiva University, I realize that I have only actually been here for two years. Nevertheless, the intensity and profundity of the experience of those years has left an indelible impression on my outlook on life and on my bank account. Years from now I will flip through the pages of this yearbook to recapture those memorable events that made our stay at Yeshiva so special like Homecoming Parade and Clovis Maksoud ' s stirring speech. To further evoke the memories and emotions of my daze at Y.U.. I will supplement my reading with Commentator Purim issue of 1985 — an edition which will always remain in our hearts and in a safety deposit box in the Y.U. office of Public Censorship. One of the great advantages of attending Yeshiva which I will always be grateful for is the opportunity to have lived and studied in Washington Heights. The Heights. as it is affec- tionately referred to by its English-speaking inhabitants, is an interesting neighborhood with a rich history. One can stroll on 187th St. between Amsterdam and Audobon Avenues at all hours of the day or night (at one ' s own risk) and partake in the festivities of the perpetual mardi-gras. On one short block one can hear many different types of ethnic music piping through car stereos and thirteen speaker cassette radios large enough to house four to six occupants. Local women, aimlessly gazing out of their open windows, pillow under their elbows, watch their husbands (?) and others down below, engaging in their favorite activities, like automobile repair and ' friendly ' domino games. Live chickens occasionally cross the street: later they will be traditionally roasted to a sumptuous crisp under five hundred watt red light bulbs at Mcdovidos or one of the area ' s other fine restaurants. Because I lived in exotic Washington Heights during the semester, my friends always understood why I preferred not to spend my intercession sunning myself in places like Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Spain. Instead. I would spend them sunning myself on the slopes of Killington, studying for Mishna Berura behinot. Doctor, Lawyer, Rabbi,Chief. It shouldn ' t surprise you that a number of our students become rabbis- After all. we are the onJy Yeshrva University. But doctors and lawyers? And business chiefs, too? Yes. Yeshiva University— with its 15 schools, divisions and afilliates— is an extraordinary, one-of- a-kind leaming, service and research institution. Dedicated to keeping the tradition ofjudaism alive. And committed to giving men and women, of all religions, the finest higher education available today. On our campuses, you ' ll find a faculty which includes one of the world ' s outstanding Talmudic scholars and the only female Nobel Prize Laureate in the United Stales. ' Vou ' ll learn about on-going research projects in the fields of solar energy, elec- tronics, and gerontology— as well as Holocaust and Sephardic studies. And you ' ll come across spe- cial seminars on subjects ran ng from ' Anliques and Judaica to Financial Planning for Women, We have seven specialized libraries, hous- ing some 850.000 volumes. A fascinating museum devoted to ancient and contemporary Hebraica and Judaica. An expert who investigates commu- nication among dolphins. And that ' s only the beginning. Practically everyone in the world has heard about the Albert Bnstdn College of Medicine. (But how many know that it ' s part of Yeshiva University?) Rated among the top medical schools in the na- tion, Bnstein has graduated almost 3.000 brilliant physicians and scientists. It has been applauded as a medical research center— with life-saving pro- grams in cancer, heart disease, liver and kidney ailments, neurological and brain disorders, diabetes. and more. Only five years old, our Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law has already made a name for itself A member of the first graduating class was appoint- ed clerk to a United Slates Supreme Court Justice. And right now at our Wurzweiler School of Social Work, a Protestant minister, a Roman Catholic priest, and eleven rabbis are getting their masters in a program that is the first of its kind for clergy. If all this comes as a surprise to you, there should be one thing that doesn ' t. Tuition alone can- not possibly finance and maintain our present programs. Tuition alone won ' t provide the kind of higher education Yeshiva students demand and deserve. We need your support. The Century Campaign aims to raise $100 million for the University ' s immediate and long-term needs. Please join our list of distinguished donors. Your gift— whether big or small— will truly make a difference to our future doctors, lawyers. rabbis, and chiefs.
