Cr i s i s i n t h e G u l f 5

One of the most excit­ing periods in our intel­lectual and personal growth is highly inf lu­enced by what we expe­rience throughout our college years. We enter the university setting searching for role models who will support our en­deavors in our quest for identity.

There existed one man on campus whose pres­ence will remain constant in our lives for the simple fact that he cared enough to extend far beyond or­dinary limits to promote causes for the students here at Sacred Heart Uni­versity. This man has rep­resented everything we as humans cou d possibly

dream to achieve. We therefore name Mr. Hen­ry Krell, former Vice Pres­ident of Student Services, as our Unsung Hero.

Many students remem­ber Mr. Krell as a healthy adult standing by certain ethics and principles in his personal and profes­sional career. Mr. Krell represented education as exper ience and re in ­forced the ideals that were pioneered on this campus more than a quarter of a century ago. He would never dream of compromising the role of an indiv idual . To Mr. Krell, a cohesive student body and a community laboring together to attain a goal is what Sacred

Heart was all about. He worked for the students, with the students. Mr. Krell proved himself a fine administrator, but, more importantly, proved himself an honest and everlasting friend.

As we embark on the next period of growth in our lives, people like Mr. Krell are held steadfast in our memories. Mr. Krell selflessly gave himself to the University communi­ty while displaying truth and integrity. For that, we thank him. Because of all the wonderful things he has done for others, may he be blessed today, to­morrow, and always.

TO THE READERS... We (meaning Chandra and I) certainly hope that you have enjoyed our

rather unorthodox review of this past year's specia events. If our rather personal opinions and recollections offended you, we are truly sorry. We never meant to step on anyone's toes.

What we were trying to accomplish was an honest description of what happened when and to whom. If you look back in twenty years and read these write-ups, we hope that you wil l smile. If you are bothered by the fact that we've not glossed over some of the bad points, that is sad — but we think it would be far sadder to have the only thing to remember these events by he a watered down, see-no-evil, Pollyanna write-up that could have been plugged into any yearbook, about any event.

Chandra and 1 have learned a lot from each other: her optimism has been tempered a hit and my cynicism has certainly been dulled. We think that this is what college life is all about, and if you've learned anything in your years at SHU, we hope it was how to make friends and how to respect other opinions and outlooks on life. Have a great life everyone — live for the moment and seize the day — CARPE DIEM!

Mrs. Harriett Gellis Secretary

Dr. Joseph Grau Humanistic Studies

Dr. Elizabeth Kelly Psychology

All-powerful God — who has made human beings in your image and likeness, and has forever engraved our ex­istence with your kindness — you give life and take it back.

We are like a flower in the field: we blossom with sun and water and we are gone with the wind, for human life is transient in this world.

You sow life in all the corners of the earth.

We cry bitterly for our losses. May the sacred memory of the de­

ceased be our light. May our silent invocation, our tears,

our undying memory, together with the faithful image of our dear one.

accompany ^^ref f our days. O God, in your mercy answer us;

make it possible for our brothers and sisters who are not with us any more to rest in the celestrial peace.

May the memories of their lives stay with us; may they be a constant blessing and an undying heritage.

All-powerful God, Lord of Life and Death, turn our hearts toward those we love so much.

May their nostalgic and blessed memory become an incentive to our deeds, today and always. Amen.

Student Government

A.J. Ciesielski, President, with George Reyes-Gavilan, Vice President led the 22 member governing body planning and sponsoring student activities year round. It was a never-ending job they had to do, s c ru t i n i z i ng every do l l a r spent from an approximately $120,000 budget funded by the student activity fee. S.G. members must listen to bud­get requests from student or­ganizations such as the Spec­trum newspaper, the radio station, the Prologue year­book, and other clubs want­ing to sponsor dances, trips, or anything else that benefits the student body as a whole. In addition, they help to plan and allocate funds for weekly events. Student Government is recognized by the admin­istration as a liaison to the student body and the univer­

sity. As elected representa­tives they strive to adequately serve the needs and interests of the student body. Top uni­versity administrators look to Student Government when making important decisions that will affect the students. For this reason the duties of S.G. reps, extend beyond at­tend ing week ly meetings. They need to be in constant communication with the stu­dents if they are to accurately represent them, and vice ver­sa. Students need to commu­nicate with their representa­tives regularly. It requires long hours of working closely together with fellow repre­sentatives. They strive to do the best job possible, han­dling new and greater chal­lenges every year.

CLASS LEADERS Class officers raise money.

R o b Kovacs , Sen ior Class o f f i c e r .

Class of 1991

The Senior class starts off the year holding flea markets every month starting in June and ex­tending through October. The purpose is to raise money for the Senior class. In addition, they are responsible for plan­ning and orchestrating Senior Week, the one week students wait all year for. A new money raising idea was sparked this year — Battle of the Bands. Held on February 28, 1991 in the auditorium, some of SHU's hottest bands competed for prizes and the distinction of being the best. The auditorium rocked all night.

Class of 1992

The junior Class, like the oth­ers, strives to raise money for the whole class. All money raised ultimately goes toward Senior Week. It seems as if class officers start planning in their Freshmen year something that won't occur for another three years. Senior Week is

costly. Planning a week of events doesn't happen easily. The benefit of raising all this money is that it makes it a lot cheaper for all seniors to at­tend every event.

Class of 1993

The Sophomore Class held a Valentine's Day raffle to raise funds. Members of the class sat out in front of the caf­eteria selling tickets for the prizes, w h i c h were : First place-one dozen roses and a heart-shaped ice cream cake; Second p ace-one dozen ros­es; and Third place-a heart-shaped ice cream cake. The class also held a candy sale to raise even more funds. At the end of the year elections were held for next year's of­ficers and the Sophomore class was the best represent­ed by candidates. Thank you to all who participated in the fund raisers and good luck to next year's officers and rep­resentatives.

April, high school fairs, and fol­low up phone calls to students who express an interest in SHU. This year Student Am­bassadors par t i c ipa ted in Bridgeport Day, visted Dolan Middle Schoo, Wilbur Cross campus, and went on a CA­CAO tour.

Student Orientation Leaders

Orientation leaders are nom­inated by faculty and admin­istration and serve to help new incoming students feel com­fortable at college and at SHU. They also help new students make the transition from high school to succeed at college. Students love being orientation leaders because they receive free meals in the cafeteria on orientation days by mentioning Dean Bozzone's name. The 1990-91 school year marked the first year SOL was recog­nized as a student organization through representation in the yearbook and at SpringFest. The Student Orientation Spr­ingFest Queen was named 1991 SpringFest Queen.

Psychology Club

The Psychology Club's goals are to promote interest in psychol­ogy for Psych majors and minors and to show the SHU commu­nity that they are fun loving peo­ple whom you always turn to in a time of need. Their motto is: "Give someone you love a hug and remember the SHU Psychol­ogy Club." Activities this year in­clude a mystic night pizza party,

Jewish Community Center Health Fair, annual trip to the England Psychological Assoc. Convention, and an end of year get together. The club went through some tough times this year because many members, in­cluding two officers, graduated Dec. '90. They were able to pull together to finish the year and gladly anticipate their innovative new officers.

ACADEMIC HONOR Consistent Hard Work Has Its

Rewards.

Presidential Interns PS! CHI The 1990-91 year saw the re­turn of the Presidential In­ternship Program after a pro­l o n g e d absence . It is a program committed to aca­demic enrichment and devel­opment of leadership skills. Its goal is to enable a select group of undergraduates to work closely with the Pres­ident and faculty mentor in further developing leadership skills and knowledge in one's designated field. Candidates for the Presidential Internship Program must be full-time students with senior or junior status, possess a G.P.A. of at least 3.2 at the time of the Internship appl icat ion and demonstrate above-average communication skills, leader­ship potential, and commit­ment to Sacred Heart Univer­sity.

The National Honor Society in Psychology. The purpose of this organization is to en­courage, stimulate, and main­tain excellence in scholarship of the individual members in all fields, particularly in psy­chology, and to advance the science of psychology. RSI CHI serves two major goals: The first of these is the So­ciety's obligation to provide academic recognition to its initiates by the mere fact of membersh ip . The second goal is the obligation of each of the Society's local chapters to nurture the spark of the accomplishment by offering a climate congenial to its cre­ative development. To join, candidates must have at least a junior status and possess a minimun of a 3.5 cummula-tive CP.A.

Two Thumbs Upll

At the Back to Classes Party with

Chandra and J

J — A (lefimie thumbs up because the DJ was great — fie pliiyecf enough dance music for the people who like to dance, and enough non-dance music for the peo­ple who don't. A thumbs down to Vincjcxest for charging $1.00 for a dvde cup of beerl Chandra — WeffJ, I fiave got to agree withyou onthis onel People were eating, dancing, getting together like never be­fore. It was a great chance for people to meet, mix, and mingle. By the way, did you see that couple mingling behind the trees? Yes, a surefire thumbs up. As far as the beer goes, who caresi The soda was dehghtfuL J — Yes Chandra, there were many couples ''getting together^' at the func­tion. Cah me cynical but I find myself wondering how many of them are still together. Chandra — J, J, J, you really are cynicall I actually saw a few of these couples still going strong at the last famed Valendne's Semi-TormaL After all, once that chubby little guy gets through with them - who knows, there may even be some ENGAGEMENTS in thefuturei J — Fine/ MoyBe it's just me, but it

doesn't seem to be a promising harbinger for the future when a first meeting takes place across the street form the dumpl Chandra — You almost leave me writeless, but not completely, of course. Look, when those college students {us included) finally grow up and out, and lose their hair and teeth and minds they will think back to the Back to Classes Party, to their youth, and reckless college days as the best of their lives. Why ruin it for them now by pointing our any minute flaws? J — Minute flaws? A mountain of garbage across the street is minute? Chandra — Ts6, tsk, you said yourself you had a great time/ It was more fun thantaking atest, or cleaning out a litter boxj and the music was rockingl Lets leave it at that. J — Litter box is an excellent analogy. 1 did have a great night though — mostfy because of my "date" — thardks Sherii Chandra — Yes/1 also loved it, mostly because you rescued me from my "date" — thanks J.

Wfio's That?

Students go incognito to

the Costume Ball.

J — Thumbs upioihe orgcmizers of the event; good food, good music, and a great time for everybody. Thumbs down to whoever sex out the food and put the cake so dose to the end of the table (do yon know how tough it is to getfrosiing out of a monk's robe?). A thumb in the eye to the Captain's Cove management and the boxmcers/Gestapo who pushed ns out (physicady) at 5 minutes to one so that the room would be dear by one. Chandra — Yeoft, those bouncers were a pain inmy . . . anyway, let's thumbs up the positive. You are right about the food being de&sh' although I hardly ate seeing that the dance music was so pow­erful that it became a fight to the death with my legs (and other various parts) to stay seated at my table. Costumes were creative. I ted ya, I had a good time that night (Except for those bouncers...) J — Tfte costumes certainly were.. .creative, yeah, that's it I wonder how some of those girls got out of the house. OBviousfy tfieir parents had al­ready left for their party. Did you see the Trench maid who climbed up the ladder to the DJ's booth to request a song; she got a standing ovation from the malt faction of the crowd. Chandra — Hey, I thought they were applauding the cakel Sorry, but I've got to say that the way women dressed, or should I say undressed do not catch my undivided attention in exactly the same way. But did you see that Roman Glad­

iator? Either parertts are more liberal these days, or girls play the always successful "coat" trick on mom and dad. You know, say "bye" wearing a huge coat that's five sizes too big. J — I didn't set out to only discuss the scantiness of the women's dress, but I couldn't help but notice: I was dressed as a monk you know. Some of the other costumes were great too, regardless of the amount of skin they displayed. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were there, Madonna was there, and that very scary something that won scariest cos­tume. My personal favorite costume was the one that won cutest couple: the female cop with the male convict; I think it was some son of Ereudian marriage metaphor. Chandra — Considering you were dressed as a monk and your date as a prostitute canyou realy talk? Trend would have loved you guys for a case study. A t feast Raggedy Ann and Andy were a cute couple, barring any major use of phalhc symbols. Witches, gobhns, fairys (don't go taking that wrong now) and all halloween spirits filled the Cove for a night we won't soon forget. But those

bouncers deserved a close en­counter of the high heeled kind. Don't you agree, J? J. — Yes, difmitely, but all in all, I'd thmk it's a two thumbs up evening any­way. Chandra — Me too.

Right — Real life magician Chris Nicholson & Prologue writer Chandra Lynam enjoy a

Happy Ho^daysl

Over 300 students

attended the Christmas

Dance drawing the

largest crowd in

years.

Chandra — HoCy Cannolil Two ifvumbs up for this event I danced ad evening, my date had sweat stcans that woxdd make Niagra Tads look dry. What a night Take it away J. J — I noticed you dandng ad evening, so did every other guy at the dance.. .nice dress Chandral Anyway, I think you're exaggerating a bit with the Niagra Tads comment but the poor boy did have quite a time trying to keep up with you. This was probably the best event of the year. It was ready packed and everyone seemed to be having a great time, even your poor exhausted date. Chandra — Sante's Manor looked ab­solutely beaudfui As did you. Such Christmas spirit is heartwarming to sec. The socks, the bright red shoes, the tic, these things alone make the semi-formal an event not to be missed. Were your reindeer parked outside? J — For tftose of you keeping score at home, the clothing articles to which my esteemed coKegue refers are my red sus­penders with the Santa Clauses on them (hereafter referred to as "Ho Ho Hold­ers"), and my red Converse All Stars (I needed sometfung to motcfi tfie time and the Ho Ho Holders). Actuady, on the way to picking up those red shoes ($19.95 at BoB's) I stepped out of my car and tossed my keys from my right hand to my left in order to facddtate their return to my left pocket. Wed, I cmghx them wrong and cut my hand pretty badly so I ready was in the Christmas

spirit, with stigmata and everything. Chandra — Poor BaBy, But you did look good. This was the biggest event of the yearl Everybody was there, that girl form bio, that real tad geeky guy from math, what a time to get together and get down. Sorry for anybody I may have stepped on while dandng, I get a fittfe out of coTttroC sometimes. All of our friends were there, pictures were taken, food was eaten. Great evening. J — ULTRA was in top form, the food ready was edible (although I had some doubts about that chicken), and every­body seemed to agree that it was a great time. The only down side to it was that it came right smack in the middle of finals, so it was tough to get into the spirit at first. Once ULTRA started pumping though, this event turned out to be a great way to let off some steam Thumbs upl Chandra — I say double thumbs up for this one J. ULTRA was the best and having ad my friends there, a great date (sorry about the earlier remark) and my dear writer extrodinate, J, there made this semi-formal one I shad think back on until I can'tremember anything anymore. T? I mean, J? J — i f you can't even remember my name, then saying you'll remember the semi-formal untd you can't remember anything anymore isn't ready saying much — But I guess it's tfie size of the thought that counts and not how long it lasts.

J — Though I hate to do it because I have some friends in the International Chd), I have to give tins event a thumbs down. It is by rw fault of the club that this evert just didn't take off. I'm not quite sure what happened, but nobody showed up. Chandra — I felt bad for the club, they organized the event perfectly. Perhaps people were broke from buying gifts for thier Valentines, or maybe they were catching up on sleep they had lost the night before. J — Maybe it was because they sched­uled it for the night after Valentine's Day, so it was anti-climatic (so to speak). Maybe it was because it was at Xante's Manor, tfte same place as the Christmas Semi. They also had the same DJ, ULTRA. Perhaps people figured that if they went to the last semi, then they had already seen everything that there was to see at this one. I don't know, it also came rather soon after school got back into session, and right on the day when people on the deferred payment plan had a payment due. Chandra — Well, I know that I try not to miss a good party, no matter what the circumstances. This semi-formal was the worst, but also the best. Let me explain. I was going on my second date with this gorgeous guy form my Public Speaking class. He made the night great, but I rexdize this is a personal thing. Hi Shanel J — I tftinft tftot basically, people realize how ridiculous they look when they are

dancing. That's why they keep night­clubs so dark. With so few people at this event, it was really difficult to dance with anonymity. Phis, the lights were so brightthat anyone who did dance lookded tike they were in a glass case with a spothght on them. ULTRA seemed to have some trouble getting into gear be­cause the crowd was just not reacting to their antics. It is very difficult to perform to a small, indifferent audience. Even the chaperones left eady. Chandra — Yep, I saw tftem all sneak­ing out the back way I You have basically said it all. But wasn't my date won­derful J — I tftinft tfte fteorts got inyour eyes, but you guys do make a good visual with him towering about 10' taller than you. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. I want to reiterate that it really washt the International Club's fault that this didn't work they did everything they were supposed to do. They organized this semi just like the Christmas one was done, and that may have been the problem. I guess nobody wanted to have another semi at the same place, with the same DJ. Phis, you couldn't eat meat because it was a Eriday during Lent. A thumbs down, but an "A!'for effort Chandra — People always love UL­TRA, tftey ploy at almost every event, the Lent case was strongly made. J, you are not alone. Alt in all, I feel that the problem was Valentine Jetiag. Thumbs down, but good try.

Tftts was a nice, convtrtdonat conservcoivt skit— designed to win tfie prize tfiot it vdtimateiy did: first flace. That's not to say it wasn't a good skit; it was. It was just the right iengdi to hoid the audience's attention. There wasn't a strong ovendt story; it was a series of mini-skits and son^s. Tfiere was an upbeat, non-issue raising son^ at each end, and enough non-pofitiodson^s in tfie middle to take the edge off some of the more insuhing sections. A special mention should be made of the salute to securdy officer AC Fernandez: 'Tf only I had a gun". Tftis skit made its points (division i n sports, high tuition) and took a few potsfiots in tfie process. (I loved the huge bag of money on its way to tfie cashier). Bravo.

UJAMMA went against the unwritten rule that deariy states .that a skit is not a skit imless it msuhs somebody, preferably a member of the S H U administration. In spite of this transgression of tradition, they stiSL managed a respectable tbxrd place, and the loudest audience support of the night. Entertainment without insxdt — canyou imagine? Maybe the skit had nothing to do with hfe at SHU, and maybe the plot was a bit thin, but as far as the dandng goes: "Caxdt touch this." Besides, it was good to seethe Apodo Theater's "Sandman" at SHU.

SPRINGFESTU

Students flock to the

most popular

weekend of the year.

J - I didn't go to this, I cufoiit i t However, in ffeu of quaJdfkxttions for writing tins, I have talked to several people who did go, and they all said it was pretty good. Cfiamtra-Too bad you missed it. You realize these are the types of events we will look back on with fondness in our old age. I had a good time, but I cMn't dance as much as usual J-I missed it because I was dateless at the time, but that's a whole other story. I thmk I can explain why you didn't dance as much as usual it was that dress, Chandra. Tor those of you keeping score at home, Chandra had on a very tight (and very flattering, I might add) purple dress that, although I'm sure all of the males in attendance loved, must have made it difficult for blood to reach her outer extremities. ChcaidrorJ., ] . , J., your flair for apropos vocabulary does not cease to amaze. I realize that my dress was somewhat snug, but the blood rushed through my body quite normally, except for that left thigh which kept falling asleep — just kidding. Actually, the fringe was a bit itchy and bothered me when I danced, but I loved it because my boyfriend picked it out.

J-I'II bet he did! That's another thing: wearing a dress hke that with a boyfriend as muscular as yours — I feel sorry for any other male at the dance. Anyway, back to the matter at hand coming at the end of the year the way it does, I don't think the SpringFest semi means as much to underclassmen as it does to seniors. Also, combined with Skit Night, it kind of seems like a greek event. lis even held in a different place than the other semis (it was at the HiHandale, right?). Maybe I'll feel differently as a senior, but I always feel hke a party-crasher at Spr­ingFest Cfumdr(v-Tm just glad that we are finally seniors and that I'd finally be old enough to go on the senior cruise. I thought that the dance was enjoyable for ad and the food was even ediblel Every­one looked hke they were drinking in the night... Especiady those people dancing on top of chairs, due to a state of natural euphoria of course! Ad in ad, I'm so happy that I have this event to look back on, and I'm sure that you and your darling (that's another story) wid attend the dance in your senior year. Two thumbs up from me.

Right-Senior Regina Reilly and date enjoy a quiet moment during her last SpringFest

Tfiie tost event.

A sentimental

occasion for those

leaving.

J-Weff we camtjvSL drck — we started tfie year across from tfte Shchon damp and we ended tfie year across from the Shehon dump. We did manage to log some good times in between I think. This event was held at the Vineerestfust as the Back to Classes Party was. 1 tried to find people who went in order to write this, bat I coufcf only find a handful — I cfufn't goj didyoa? Chandra^Nope. The weather stank, I'm sure the damp stunk, and no one I knew wanted to go. I fiote to be a pessimist, But I wouldn't have gone if the whole activities department had stood on their heads and whistled Dixie. J-Wait a minxitel I'm supposed to be the cynical one around here. The people who I interviewed who did go (seniors most­ly) said that it was okay bat nothing special, but I tfiinft tfiey would have said that even if Mr. Kelly had led his de­partment in a rousing rendition of the

confederate anthem while inverted. Tor the seniors, I tfiinft it was the beginning of regret — tfiey were leaving and, though it woxdd kill some of them to admit it, it was bothering them to be leaving. It was like the last shred of childhood finally fading away — tfiey were graduadng and now real life woxdd take over. For tfie rest of us, I tfiinfe it was tfie inconvenience of this event com­ing right smack in the middle of finals, but most of the seniors HAD to go. You have to say goodbye, and it has to hurt, in order to move on. Wowi that was deep. Chandrct-Oh brother! I tfiinft tfiot we fiave really rubbed off on each other. I suppose for seniors, it will be a treasured memory of their college days. But, since I dxdWt go, and since the event meant different things to diffemet people, I de­cided to give it a half thumb — a mid-air okay.

Amazing Pcopic

Strange and unusual

people conne to SHG to

entertain students.

James Mapes baffled the audience with his ability to read minds and hyp­notize. As he cast his sped over a large group of people, he was able to make them feel like they were on a space ship ride with a weightless environment. Some people were also hypnotized and brought from their present age down through their childhood to age 5.

Along with the typical ring tricks and disappearing rabbit tricks, Stuart and Lori also bewildered the crowd with knife tricks. Stuart stack knives through a wicker basket that Lori was in, as you can see from the picture on the far right, Lori did not have one scratch on her.

Ronnie Romm was a mystical mind reader. If someone picked up an object, wrote something personal down or sim­ply thought about something, Romm was able to ted exactly what the object or thought was whilebeing blindfolded with two quarters and six pieces of tape.

Ha Ha! Hee Heel Ho Ho!

Whether in the cafeteria, as Craig Anton was, or in Chubby's Lounge, as Johrniy Lampert was, comedians are a big hit with SHU students. Mini-Lvents with comedians hke these, attract large groups of people. What a better way to relieve ad the stresses of classes and homework during the week then to relax^ sit back and laugh with one of these funny men.

Three comedians set out to try and make SHU students chuckle at the annual "We Can Make You Laugh" contest, which was held in the cafeteria. The students who were successful in keeping a straight face were eligible for prizes.

Let it Snowf

Hi Ho, Hi Ho. It's off to ski

we go.

Wfien tfte snow begins io fad and the air gets cbidy skiers from ad over begin io get iheir ski eguipment timed up and plan tfteir trips for tfte season. This years Outdoors Club ski trip was io Kddngion VT wfticft is tfte largest ski resort in the east. Students left on January 2, 1991 in a five vebide caravan led by Cathy Mol-loy who organized the week long trip. The group was smad, only 17 went, but everyone knew each other.

Three condo units were filled by two "boys" units and one "girls" unit which included Lenny. The "girls" units was the cleanest and had the least amount of tradegies. The only thing that went astray was Jen Sviftra's goggles which were later found in an overturned trash can.

The "boys" units on the other hard had some more interesting occurrences. One unit became smoke filled for no apparant reason and of course there was one guy who we're run sure if he ever figured out that the key to his room was the same as the other key to the unit This "confusion" among other reasons led to a pair of disappearing K-Mort pajamas that turned up on Cathy's car outside the Wobbly Bam and a late night outing into one skiers room.

The other "boys" unit was filled with good cooks who had the greatest total hours of partying and a broken bed from too many catapults. These brave souls were also the ordy ones who didn't leave on the last day to avoid driving in the snow that firudly came. Lveryone else headed back to avoid any treacherous weather.

The skiing was cold and windy but a few were able to improve their skiing dramatically. Mark learned how to ski by being taken right to Bear Mountain. Jen andKegina worked bravely on hitdng the expert slopes. No matter how icy they were.

Manmade snow was plentiful on the slopes and natural snow was in abundant supply near our condos, Green Mountain. This natural snow led to an inter­collegiate snow ball fight right outside and off one of the balconys. Skiing held some white wipe-outs, a few minor col­lisions, and a black eye for one skier.

The trip ended on the Lriday after leaving with not quite two speeding tick­ets and a few new acquantices that were gained on 1-91. Unfortunately another trip did not take place but if one hadthere would have been more memorable times for the skiers.

"No Problem

Mon."

Spring Breakers headed down io Ja­maica — ''Tfie trip was ire" In enqhsh, tfiot means tfie trip was great. Twenty-six students packed iheir bags and left the cold Connectknt weather behind to spend a week in the sun and crystal clear blue waters. Once in Jamaica they lived in the lap of htxary. Located on a golf course, they had two vidos ne?ct door to each other - Magiha I and No Froblem. Loch had four bedrooms, two baths, a swim­ming pool, a maid, and a cooL

When they weren't being pampered in their rooms, the students headed for the bars and beaches. Since there is no drink­ing age in Jamaica, they were able to indulge Rum drinks and Reff-Stripe beer. On the more adventurous side they went on a catamaran boat ride and to Duns River Falls where the movie Cocktail was filmed. They also went to Negril and went cliff diving at Rick's Cafe. Once again, Jen Lee was successful in planning a great Spring Break getaway.

Edwin Meese

E dwin Meese was the Attor­ney General for Ronolif Rea­gan from 1985 io 1988.

Prior io serving in that capacity he was the President's Counselor. In this position, which he held from 1981 to 1985, he advised the president on different policies as wed us managing the Cabinet. Ed­win Meese had close ties to Ronatt Reagan before Reagan be­came president He worked on the presidential campaign and also worked on Reagan's staff while Reagan was still governor of Ca-hfomia.

The topic of the speech given by Edwin Meese was "The Bid of Rights and Judicial Interpretation." In the speech Meese talked about how important the Bid of Rights is to the American people and to the rest of the world. The U.S. is synonymous with written rights. The rights that Americans have are flowing to other countries. Five years

ago democracy would not be pos­sible in the Soviet Union but to­day people are fighting to get de­mocracy. A written constitution is one of the greatest things to hap­pen to governments. The Articles of Confederation gave states a great deal of power but made the federal government very weak. The U.S. Constitution shifted the power back to the federal gov­ernment and they delegated power to the states. Power has been giv­en to the states through the Bid of Rigftts. Edwin Meese left the au­dience with the question of how right and wrong wid be deter­mined. Wid the legislature and

judges have the power or widthe public have the final say? This is a question that everyone must answer on an individual basis because there is no right answer.

Artftur Mitter

Artftur Miller is an attorney who is probably best known to most people as

the legal expert on ABC's Good MomiTig America as well as the host and moderator of the PBS series The Constxtution: That Del­icate Balance.

Arthxar Miller gave two speech­es during his visit. The first speech was given in the presidents board room to a small group in the aftemooru The second speech was given in the evening to the general public in the Schine Auditorium.

The speech in the conference room was brief with the idea that the American public generaiy trust the courts more than they do the other two branches of government People trust the courts more because they believe they will be treated more fairly as well as being allowed to state their bebiefs. The other branched art riot readily accessible to the public After Professor Miller was finished speaking the floor was opened up to questions. Questions ranged from about which was better, judicial activism or jucidal restraintism, to ones asking who is or was the best justice on the Supreme Court.

The evening speech in the Schine Auditorium was called "The

Press and Privacy: A Clash of Constitutional Values." The speech dealt with the issue of who should have the power. Should the press be allowed to obtain any information they want or should people be allowed to withhold any and all information from the press. Professor Milder brought up the good point as well as the bad points about the press and privacy. The press releases information which aJdows people to form opin­ions. The problem with releasing information is sometimes his not correct The press has the view that it is better to inform im­

perfectly than not to inform at ad Privacy takes another point of view. Privacy is being able to thmk what you want without fear of repercussions. Technology (computers, etc) is taking peoples privacy away. Today it is possible to find out almost anyrhing about a person. Arthur Milder finished his speech by telling the audience that there is no correct answer as to which is right, the press or privacy.

S usm Taylor is tfte Ediior-in-Chief of Essence magazine and Vice-President of Essence Commvinicadon. As the Editor-in-Chief she has grown to be a spokesperson for many people who see her as an

inspircttioTu Prior to becoming Editor-in-Chief Miss Taylor served as the Jasfiion and beauty editor. She also served as host and executive producer of "Essence," a nadonady syndicated Black-oriented talk show.

Miss Taylors speech was titled "Be the Best You Can Be." In her speech she talked about the problems of self motivation. The point she was trying to make is that people cannot give up their dreams.

Self-motivation is important in achieving your goals. Everyday people

must wake up with the attitude of being able to do anything. People should want to improve themselves before others. Anything you give to others is a gift The last point that Miss Taylor made was people should set reahstic goals. It make better sense to achieve a couple of simple goals than to try for many diffictdt goads and fail at all of them.

Ed Swanson's rookie season as Head Coach of ihe Sacred Heart University women's basketball team produced some notable results. Dissect tfte Lady Pio­neers' 8-19 record and one discovers tftot*

Tfte eigftt wins doubled the previous season's total, and were the most since the nine recorded by the 1985-86 sguad. Tfte tftree victories in the New England Collegiate Conference have been eiKceeded just once, by the 1983-84 team's four. Finally, senior captain Diane Nicftoils earned second-team all-NECC honors, be­coming the first Lady Pioneer to achieve all-star status since current Assistant AtftCetic Director Elizabeth ''Bippy" Luckie in 193-1984.

Graduating Senior Captain Diane Nicftofls has been a great asset to the team:

''We'd miss Diane's leadership and strong inside play ncTctyear," Swanson said. 'T wis ft we had her for another season."

Happily for Swanson, the rentainder of the starting five returns intact. Svc-two junior center Alethia Osboume, who be­came eligible for the second semester, developed into a formidable presence in­side, averaging 1Z.4 points and 11.3 rebounds in 16 games. She also topped the squad with 37 blocks.

''We have a strong nucleus coming back in four starters and Jen Danku&ch [junior forward-center).,'' Swanson said. "If we can get a good point guard and one or two other players, we should condrme to progress and even challenge for the conference titfe."

If consistency is the hallmark of success, then Sacred Heart University baseball is on the right track.

Coach Nick Giaquinto's Pi­oneers registered their second straight " b i g " season in 1991, compiling a 26-12 record, and earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Northeast Regional Tournament.

The 1991 Pioneers featured a hard-hitting lineup which gen­erated a .320 batting average and a school-record 307 runs, two outstanding starting pitch­ers, and a sure-handed de­fense.

Junior third baseman Al Car­rara and sophomore second baseman Scott Schilling swung the most authoritative bats. Compressing a lot of power into a 5-foot-lO frame, Carrara batted a lusty .381 and estab­lished SHU records for hits (59)

and doubles (17). He also led the team with 39 runs batted in and 88 total bases and wal­loped four home runs — two in the NCAA tournament. Schil­ling achieved stardom in his second season, posting team-leading performances in bat­ting (.409), runs scored (39) and sacrifices (10). He hammered four homers and drove in 32 runs.

Everyone in the lineup con­tributed. Freshman shortstop Marc Durland checked in with a .291 a v e r a g e ; j u n i o r rightfielder Jim Bruno batted .290 and sophomore center-fielder Dave Nagy finished at .282 along with a record 34 walks.

Four other regulars batted over .300: junior designated hitter Jerry Fry, who finished at .354 and topped the squad with 18 stolen bases; junior

catcher Don Romeo, .303, and senior first baseman and co-captain Pete Yarasavich .302. Yarasavich's bat produced eight home runs, a figure ex­ceeded just six times in school history, and 35 RBI's.

Junior Tim Ward and senior co-captain Rich Licursi provid­ed strong pitching throughout the season. Ward emerged as a star, concluding wi th a 9-1 won-lost record and 55 strike­outs in 58.3 innings. Licursi, who was a first-team Division II All-American as a junior, com­pleted an outstanding four-year career with an 8-2 record, 101 strikeouts in 99.7 innings and a 3.61 earned run average. Licursi walked away with vir­tually every SHU career record, including wins (30), innings (358.7) and strikeouts (345).

102 Women's Softball

WomeiPs SoftbaJX A rebuilding year? Other col­

lege Softball teams would wel­come the opportunity to dupli­cate the 1991 successes of Sacred Heart University.

The loss of two All-Americas and three other stars notwith­standing, Coach El izabeth "Bippy" Luckie directed the new ook Lady Pioneers to a 27-8 record and their second straight New England Collegiate Conference championship and NCAA Mid-Atlantic Tournament bid.

The team was virtually un­beatable, 25-2, against the northern portion of its regular schedule.

"I knew we'd be competitive, but I didn't expect us to do as well as we did, " Luckie says. "We received outstanding lead­ership from our two seniors and other veteran players, Michelle Palmer was super, and April ErtI really matured as a pitcher."

Palmer, the swift sophomore center fielder from Norwalk, bat­ted a surrealistic .358 to erase the University's 12-year-old rec­ord of .508 (Pat Suchower, 1980).

Palmer's defensive play in center was above reproach, and she surpassed her own SHU sto­len base record, with 27. For the second year Michelle was ac­c o r d e d second-team A l l -America honors, and she was the NFCC's Co-Player of the Year as well.

FrtI (Newtown) blossomed as a sophomore, assembling a 16-7 record along with six shutouts and a 0.89 earned run average. April's five-hit, 1-0 victory over the University of New Haven in the playoff game which deter­mined the conference title and resulting NCAA bid, was indic­ative of her pluck.

The seniors, first baseman April King and catcher Donna

Charchenko, enjoyed their finest seasons. King batted a robust .409, and topped the 1991 squad with 33 runs batted in and, remarkably, 17 sacrifices. Charchenko accounted for four home runs, a team high, and hit .293.

Four other regulars batted .340 or better, led by freshman designated hitter Nicole DuBack at .355. Close behind were out­fielder-pitcher Keri O'Donnell, the NFCC's Co-Rookie of the Year, at .347; junior second baseman Renee Melchiona at .343 and sophomore third base­man Maria Cavaliere at .340.

Sacred Heart also received strong productivity from junior shortstop Becky Van Ort, whose .313 average produced 31 RBI, and junior leftfielder Tisha John­son the team captain, at .284. Van Ort and Melchiona, both j u n i o r co l l ege t r ans f e r s , stabilized the infield as well.

MEN'S SOCCER P I O N E E R B O O T E R S CON­CLUDE W I T H B E S T SEASON EVER

Tfiere are no argmntnts, no disputes. Tfus was the most successful Sacred Eton University Soccer season in his-tory.

Tfie 1990 Pioneers concluded with a 14-6 win-(ost record (3-4 NECC), fiigfi-ijghted by a season-ending NO. 20 rank­ing nationally and ihe scfiooCs jtrst ap-jmence in a post season event — tfie Eostem College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Toumment

The 14 victories were a record, as were the team's 75 goals scored and 27 qoals allowed. Individually, Daniel Dos Santos, a Z7-year-old graduate student jrom Montevideo, Uruguay, ranked among the nation's Division I I scoring (coders throughout the fall His 34 goafs md 79 points shattered SHU single-season records established 20 years ago 6y current coacfi — and 1971 A d Amer­ica — Joe McGuigan.

"Even though we lose Daniel and five

other seniors, the prospects are bright for an even better team next year," says McGuigan, chosen as the New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the year. "Two outstanding prospects, who had to sit out this year will be eligible next fall'.

McGuigan will welcome back several key players including Ad-NECC sweeper AtCan Zuniga Jr., (NorwaCk, CtJ, midfeilder Marco Sanchez [Soph., Lima, Peru), forward Theo Burnett (Fr., Clar­endon, Jamaica) and goalie Jay McDou-gal (Fr., Stratford, Ct.).

"Aden anchors our defense and even gets into the offenx^/' McGuigan says. "As far as I'm concerned, he is one of the

finest all-around players in New England and Ad-America materiaL"

Burnett, a budding star, tied Dos San­tos for the team lead in assists (11) and ranked second with siK goals and 23 points.

Sacred Heart's 14 triumphs included victories over NECC rivals Keene State (4-1); FrankGn Pierce (4-2 in overtime) and Lowed (3-1), and a 4-0 shutout of

the Nortfierast-lO Conference's reguabr season champ, StonehilL

McGuigan was also pleased with the Pioneers' effort in narrow losses to NECC power Southern Connecticut (1-0), the University of Bridgeport (2-1) and New Hampshire Codege(3-Z). "Southern went on to win the national championship so that makes us look good," he said.

Tde controversy began in January when the NCAA stated tdat sports programs were not adowed to participate in mxdti-divisiorud competitions.

One main issue was brought to the ad­ministrators' attention pertaining directly to the Division II/Division I I I question: What would happen to the school sports schol­arship program? After further diiscassion it was decided that student athletes already receiving aid would continue to do so but no new athlete could be awarded financial aid. Aid, therefore, will be handed out to new-incoming atheletes on merit and need.

In the Words of ourSpeal<^rs .

June 10,1967

Try to anticipate change and even create it. Rather than merely accept the changes of our time as they happen, or effectively ignore them, we can try to shape, change and mold our changing world to good ends.

—Donald H. McGannon, LL.B., Chairman of the Board, Westinghouse Broadcasting Company

June 7,1969 Let it not he said of us that we destroyed tradition without offering something to replace it. Neither

let it be said that we followed old rules without thinking or questioning. A world is waiting to he formed. Let each of us face that world now, not with fear, not with despair or disgust, let us face that world now with zest for work and the love of peace necessary to make our dream a reality.

—Loretta E. Crazynski, Valedictorian, Class of '69

June 6,1970 Any person who wants to destroy this nation or leave this nation can count me out. What I want to

do is reform this nation. . .so that the dreams of our founding fathers can be realized in this day.

—Rev. James Peters, Vice President, Connecticut NAACP

May 25,1974 The prejudice of some older people against youth is a mask for their unwillingness to compete with

the young. Maturity can be a euphemism for lassitude.

—Clenn W. Ferguson, LL.B., President, University of Connecticut

May 19,1979 It.is in one's youth that uninhibited imagination exists, and that prejudices learned from age have

not taken root. It is a time when selfishness gives way to sharing and when courage and determina­tion do not yield to apathy.

—The Honorable William A. O'Neill, Lieutenant Covemor, State of Connecticut

May 16,1981 n

My charge to you today is that you accept the responsibility of making a contribution to the society which is open to you with hope and great need. The nation that welcomes you anew is still one of opportunity. One in which initiative is rewarded, one in which one individual can still make a differ­ence.

—The Honorable Barbara Kennelly, Secretary of the State, State of Connecticut

190 Commencement

May 22, 1982

The world is becoming increasingly interdependent. We're riding on the spaceship earth, but unfortunately, the world is poor. What all of us want is a life of joy, self satisfaction and purpose— goals which will not be achieved if you turn your hacks on those who are hungry in the world.

—Edward P. Bullard, IV, President and CEO, Technoserve, Inc.

May 19, 1984

Be Good.

—The Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, S.T.D., Bishop of Bridgeport

May 18,1985

Let it not be said of us that our spirit of enjoyment exceeded our spirit of sacrifice.

—The Honorable Christine M. Niedermeier, J. D., Representative, State of Connecticut

May 17, 1986

Before you go out and save the world, make sure you can clean your bedroom.

—James R. McManus, Chairman and CEO, Marketing Corporation of America

May 21, 1988

It's time for a new generation—young men and women from institutions like Sacred Heart Univer­sity—to break the logjam of ideas and make things happen. Don't leave it to those from universities with fancy pedigrees, who think they were born to lead.

We need you; we need your good sense and your abilities to get things done. What we need is your obsession—an obsession with making a difference—a difference in your jobs, in your careers, in your levels of public service.

—William F. Paul, Senior Vice President, United Technologies Corporation

May 20, 1989 Awaken in our society a vision and a hope for the human enterprise; arouse in one another a

deeper appreciation of the beauty and the mystery of the gift of life. Be compassionate actors in the public forum, doing your part to feed the hungry and clothe the naked.

Call out the best in one another by inviting others from ignorance, indifference, isolation, selfish­ness, and greed. And do all this in the sure hope that these good efforts are not in vain hut will all he caught up in the bountiful harvest of God's kingdom.

—Anthony J. Cernera, Ph.D., President, Sacred Heart University

Twcntysomcthing A Photo Retrospect of Sacred

Heart University

s < ^ acred Heart University, established by the

Diocese of Bridgeport, is a coeducational independent institution of higher learning in the Catholic intellectual tradition whose primary objective is to prepare men and women to live and make their contributions to the human community. The University with its faculty, staff and administrators, aim to assist in the development of people who are compassionate in heart, responsive to social and civic obligations, and able to respond to an ever-changing world. That is what the founders of Sacred Heart Uni­versity described as their mission when they broke ground in 1963. Twentysometh-ing years later it's still doing that. In cel­ebration of Sacred Heart, the Prologue de­cided it was time to look back to get a real feel of the past and perhaps, give us a glimpse of what's in store for the future. When this project first materialized, com­memorating Sacred Heart's 25th graduating class and the publication of the 25th edi­tion of the Prologue , it was going to be a year-by-year comparison of all the changes, but the lack of records curtailed our efforts. So we decided to give you "A Photo Ret­rospect of Sacred Heart University," dis­playing out of the ordinary photos (some never published) of moments captured by a student photographer at some point during these twentysomething years. Let's go back.

homas Kelly at a student event this year, and also in his yearbook portrait when he graduated in 1983 with a Bach­elor of Science in Business Administration/Accounting. He left a position with one of the then Big 8 Accounting firms to become the Director of Student Activities; the man who sees to it that the students have a blend of academics and ex­tracurricular activities. On any given day you can find him tirelessly walking the halls of this University encouraging students to join a club, any club.

Among the organizations he promotes and oversees are the greeks. No University would be complete without the pres­ence of the greeks. When Sacred Heart first opened its doors in 1963 there were six greek organizations on campus. That number had soared to almost ten in the late 70's and early 80's, but has dwindled to four as of this academic year. Small in number they might be, but by many they are considered the most influential and recognized organizations on cam­pus.

vidence of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat are found in the faces of John Bordeau as he finds out he must turn over the Student Government presidency to Rob Cottle after missing ballots were found underneath a box of stale ding-dongs. That is what greeted the readers of Spectrum on March 29, 1990 as Spectrum unveiled its first edition of Spectacle, the newspaper's April Fool's Day issue. Of course, it was all a big, fat lie, just like the University canceling graduation and the Athletics Department's announcement of its plans to scrap the football, lacrosse and women's soccer programs and replace them with men's dwarf throwing, co-ed leap frogging and women's mud-wrestling.

Students at Sacred Heart created the first student newspaper. The Obelisk. Then in 1983, its banner was redesigned and name changed to The Spectrum. Today with a circulation of 2,000, it has won five national journalistic awards — all without a journalism department or major. Here we give you the opportunity to "read all about it," just as it appeared some twentysomething years ago.

Doc. Larry , and Steve Dooley ap­peared previously as the Hickory , ) i ckor) , and Doc T r i o , which provided blk music for our first freshman nixer. Steve Lanzo also played lead ;uitar i n the rock- 'n ' -rol l group that mtertained at the mixer.

Septem-er 12. in the University auditorium, lie Bishop was assisted on the altar y Joseph Keating and Thomas Mee-an. The Rt. Rev. John McGougb. a University trustee: the Rt. Rev. John oomey. chancellor of the Diocese of •ridgeport; and the Rev. John Polin-ky. University chaplain, were present ri the altar for the ceremonv.

Plans for Student Government in Action by Vincent Reade

I n a special interview w i t h Dean O'Sull ivan the basic plans for the first Sacred Heart University Student Government elections were outl ined.

I t is planned that the students w i l l be represented by twelve elected of­ficials who w i l l comprise the Student Government.

Each candidate w i l l be recognized upon the completion of a petit ion of fifteen students" signatures. These petitions were put into circulation on Monday. October 21, and are expected to be submitted to the Office of the Dean, by Monday. October 28. Each student is l imited to signing twelve petitions.

Recognized candidates for the Stu­dent Government w i l l be given one week in which to campaign. Dur ing this time they w i l l he allocated a reasonable amount of space in class­rooms and the student lounge for posters and other pertinent informa­tion concerning themselves and their platforms. There w i l l also he an after­noon convocation at which each candi­date w i l l he given the opportunity to state bis qualifications formally .

The actual elections w i l l be held by a straight majoritv vote. However, in the event of too great an accumula­tion of candidates there w i l l be a series of run-olT tdeetions to narrow the choice lo a number that w i l l facilitate a majority vote.

Classical Art Pursued Debating has a long and noble his­

tory. Dur ing the age of Socrates and Plato it played a dominating role in the education of Greek youths. They, l ike the students of today, were ex­pected to become the leaders of their countries. And to prepare them for this task, their elders taught them forensics; the art of argumentation based on logic.

So important was debating to the early Greeks, that the great Aristotle devoted an entire book to i t .

I n the Middle Ages forensics bad lost some of its earlier importance, but i t was st i l l an essential part of a man's education. Second only to the "Quadr iv ium" ' of arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy; debating along wi th grammar and logic formed a th i rd part in the ancient - ' T r i v i u m , " which was the essence of a medieval education.

To carry on this tradi t ion , and to olfer the Sacred Heart students the opportunity of learning spontaneous, accurate and logical persuasive argu­mentation. Miss Maureen C. Lynch. Instructor of English, has undertaken the organization and training of a debate team.

"They said i t couldn't he done!" But the diocese of Bridgeport proved them wrong on Wednesday, Septem­ber 11 , 1963. On this day Sacred Heart University welcomed its first freshman class.

Sacred Heart University is the first Catholic college i n the nation to be administered and staffed completely by laymen. The only clergymen pres­ent w i l l serve i n a counseling and guidance capacity.

Dr. W i l l i a m H . Conley, president, and Dr. Maurice J . O'Sullivan, dean of the university, greeted the student body on the first of the three days of freshman orientation. Dur ing orien­tation Dr. O'Sullivan introduced the faculty members, famil iarized the stu­dents w i t h plans for the school year, and distributed class schedules. Stu­dents also took a battery of tests during this period.

H i - l i t e of freshman orientation was Parents' Night, Thursday evening, September 12. Students and their parents had the opportunity to meet personally the Most Rev. Walter W. Curtis, Bishop of Bridgeport; members of the hoard of trustees; and the mem­bers of the college faculty.

Both Bishop Curtis and President Conley spoke at the gathering. Dean O'Sullivan summed up the evening as a tru ly historic event. Parents' Night, he noted, "brings together for the first time the entire Sacred Heart Univer­sity fami ly : administration, faculty, board of trustees, students and their parents."

s igns like these were quite common in the 1970's — student events were being cancelled due to student apathy. That is no longer true as student activities have tripled in number and even more so in attendance. One event seems to culminate the whole year. Sponsored by the I n t e r -Fraternity/Sorority Council, SpringFest joins together every campus organization as they select a "King" and a "Queen" to compete for the titles of SpringFest King and Queen. There is also Skit Night, where several campus organizations put on sa­tirical skits in hopes of winning first place for originality and presentation. In 1986, Lisa Nastu and John Kelly were crowned winners and got a chance to be a part of Sacred Heart's royal family.

In the early months of 1991, graduate Mike Federici was one of the students who was sent to fight in Operation Desert Storm. He was stationed in Saudi Arabia just miles from the Iraqi border before safely returning home.

WE'LL NEVER SAY G O O D B Y E by Tom Snow, Dean Pitchford From Sing Soundtrack

We share the days of laughter We share the nights of sorrow And in the morning after We face the bright tomorrow Side by side we'll always stand Spirits flying high Long as I can hold your hand We'll never say goodbye We walk the halls of learning And serve a proud tradition The flame of truth is burning To clarify our vision Look at how the future gleams Gold against the sky! Long as I can share your dreams We'll never say goodbye. There's little to be sure of But we will last forever For now we know the pure love We feel when we're together Then if someday we should part We will not say die Long as you are in my heart We'll never say goodbye.

WSC Users Help Themselves

T he W o r k s h o p Skills Center (WSC) is the answer to many academic p rob lems o f Sacred Heart students. It is a tu tor ia l center o f fe r ing he lp t o

students by t ra ined professionals in every subject . The WSC is FREE of charge t o SHU students. Hou r l y

appo in tments are avai lable, bu t because it is so p o p ­ular, a s tudent must schedule an a p p o i n t m e n t at least t w o weeks in advance. The WSC is for students w h o are serious abou t he lp ing themselves . For this reason, if a s tudent neglects t o keep more than three ap ­po in tments , no fur ther appo in tments w i l l be made for that student .

A large percentage of SHU students c o m e f r o m famil ies whose i n come is $15 ,000 or less a year. H o w t h e n can these famil ies a f ford t o pay for col lege ex ­penses that account for more than half o f the i r gross annual income?

Once Out of The Classroom, Students Need Activities

ro l lege cannot be all w o r k and no play. For this reason, the activit ies of f ice plays a v i ta l role on

Student Act iv i t ies D i rec tor , T o m Kel ly and Programming Board Di rector , senior Susan C h o p w o r k closely w i t h Student G o v e r n m e n t p lann ing events and activit ies for SHU students. A t t imes , ind iv idua l s tudent organizat ions w i l l also get in on the ac t ion and host the i r o w n events.

A l l of the events have one t h i ng in c o m m o n , L A U G H ­TER. Some events even force students t o revert back t o the i r c h i l d h o o d . For example , the twister contest and at Bl izzard of Bucks, students we re d r ink ing o u t o f baby bott les and c rawl ing on the f loor — w h a t a sight!!!

The looney antics cu lmina te in to one constant t h e m e , FUN. For some, this FUN is the h igh l ight of the i r col lege years. W i t h o u t these activit ies t o u n w i n d and release stress, or t o laugh w i t h each other , col lege w o u l d be overrated.

IS e yourself — but be your best self. Dare to be different and to follow your own star.

And don't be afraid to be happy. Enjoy what is beautiful — Love with all your heart and souls.

Believe that those you love, love you. Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you.

Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owe the world.

When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible — Then forget it.

The moment of absolute certainty never arrives. Above all, remember that God helps those who help themselves.

Act as if everything depended upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God.

Live each day to the fullest, get the most of each hour, each day, and each age of your life.

Then you can look forward with confidence and back without regrets.

Sacred Heart Prayer
