Junior Year . • • Conunencemenl which was to be held in Radio City Music Hall, was moved back to Danziger Campus; the rockettes weren t ready for Yeshiva studeal6 yet. 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.

.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.

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.
