UP'S UNOFFICIAL GREETER Four years of hand shaking and "How do you do's" made Kim Green UP's unofficial campus greeter. Green, Orientation Student Coordinator, made welcoming new students a weekend extrava ganza.

Kim Green

Photo by Erin Morris "I have always been involved with Orientation whether it was through Campus Program Board or Residence Hall Association or my own experience." said Green, who could have competed with Admis sions personnel for the amount of greeting she's done. Orientation '91 catered to the needs of 430 freshmen and transfers. "It's a big part of the freshman experience," said Green. "We are the first experience of college for most of these new students. We almost make or break their perception of what college is like." Green felt the Orientation Weekend got better and better over the four years. "Every year it im­ proves. I think that the program is fitting the needs of the students better. It helps people break down the barriers. They have a chance to get to know others and get comfortable." By graduation. Green toned her group communi­ cations skills into expert form. She made asking questions and getting to know others a whole lot easier, and she made the transition to college life that much more livable. —b\ Sarah (ieers

"We've gotten on each other's nerves, but we just give each other space," said Floyd. "We have such different interests and that makes us so compatible." Take, for example, their interest in men. "I like my Stetson Man," said Busalacchi, "and she likes the clean cut type of guys." Busalacchi attributed their strong friendship to close ties. She added, "We've known each other for so long, we know what to do and what not to do. We've changed a lot since high school, all for the better, and we changed together." Those changes took place when the long-time friends moved into their cardboard-box-size dorm room. Floyd said, "Living together has brought us a lot closer.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN With no homework or exams to stand in his way, sophomore Thomas Lear spent his summer exercis­ ing. "I lifted all summer. When school started, I quit. I'm just now getting back into it again. I have to

Photo by Erin Morris make time for working out, otherwise I just don't do it." One of Lear's reasons for quitting his exercise- regime came from adjusting to life off-campus. Lear found it lonely going to Howard Hall. His on- campus buddies had different schedules for shooting hoops and lifting weights. Getting back into the rigors of exercise meant making a commitment with or without his friends. Ixar explained his pursuit for fitness. "It makes me feel better (to be in shape). I'm so lazy. I need someone to keep me going and to spot (when lifting weights)." Lear found shooting hoops a good way to work out frustrations. "It's a lot more fun to play a game of tive-on-five." The intensity of running, lifting and shooting hoops required endurance and stamina. However, five-on-five alone did not motivate him to stay in shape. Perhaps the fear of tire belly forced Lear back into the exercise mode. But, feeling better and winning a game of five-on-five more than justified his efforts. —by Sarah (Jeers

Dark images in her drawings, fluorescent-colored paintings and "stream of consciousness" writing reflected different sides of Meech. "I can draw realistically," said Meech, "but it's kind of a sacrilege to try to create something that a great artist has done. It's kind of like plagiarism; you don't know what the person was thinking." Although Meech refused to copy, she admitted she had not found her own style.

Photo by Hrin Morris life as "letting go of financial and educational respon­ sibilities for a moment...or two." Arthur, with a ponderous glare, more specifically stated the nature of the task. "It's letting yourself go into a vegetative state." "It means enjoying the company of whoever and whatever," with a heavy emphasis on whoever, said Arthur, examining the fine points of hanging out. "Okay., it's a human bonding thing. Definitely female companionship would be the best." Spending quality hours hanging-out ranked high on Arthur's priority list. One needed, about 21 hours per week, although a healthy amount would be 30 to 40 hours. "Hanging-out cannot be rushed," he said. Arthur frequently chose to hang out in the residence halls, but he added, "Open spaces are the best. And late night is the most accessible. People arc- home from work, class and done with homework." Ideally, homework should have come before socializing, but Arthur suggested that hanging-out helped people get in the study mode.

"I have felt since elementary school that I'd go into some type of service," said Turvold. "All the kids in my school were Navy kids and so were all my friends growing up." In fact, she sprang the only surprise in her career plan when she chose the Air Force instead of the Navy. "My dad really wanted me to go to the Naval Academy. I got in, but I waited until the last day before making the decision," said Turvold. "The Air Force is just much more diverse in terms of the jobs women can have." Turvold held the positions of Bravo Flight • Commander and Public Affairs Officer for the area region. She also hoped to grab the detachment's top position, Corp Commander, in fall 1992. "ROTC is a training environment that is similar to what you'll be doing in the Air Force," said Turvold. "You have a boss and people below you ,md you work W^ together to get the task accomplished.

As an avid sun-worshiper, Flick spent many hours playing volleyball outdoors. Phis took the place of scuba diving, water skiing and body boarding. Last-minute graduation requirements, however, forced his heat fancy to simmer down. He said, "I'm not as hard core as I used to be. As a senior, I can't afford to blow things off." Still, he admitted, "When it's sunny outside, I begin to sweat in the clothes I'm wearing. That's when I know it's time to go out." Though he set his heart on living in a sunny climate, he warmed up to Northwest weather. "I've learned to like the rain because of living in Portland.

She logged an average of 20 hours per week during her junior and senior years, leaving her little snooze time for herself. She worked with patients having various disorders ranging from fatal sleep apnea [where one stops breathing] to insomnia. "Ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinar­ *-J* ian," said Mueller.

WORDS INTO ACTION "Students get so wrapped up in complaining and bitching that they can't get anything done," said sophomore Teri Jansen.

Jansen, who has a three year old son, put words into action by organizing a rally for a campus childcare center that received coverage on local TV newscasts. "People were just waiting for someone who has enough balls to * say anything." Jansen's activism paid off. The rally made the issue public. The faculty welfare committee set a goal to bring the facility to life, Fred Meyer Corp. offered a $5,000 grant, the YWCA agreed to coordinate the facility and it gained approval from the Board of Regents and Academic Senate. "We almost have a day care center," said Jansen. "It's just a matter of lighting a fire under the butts of Regents to get it going." Jansen suggested "Don't be afraid to stand up for something you believe in, but do it the right way. Work with the system, fhe adminis­ tration isn't a bunch of ogres waiting to piss oft students.

you have the money for skydiving?'," laughed novice diver Mike McClafferty. Though recruited by Georgetown, William and Man' and U of Virginia, the All-American cross-country runner needed a break from east coast life; he packed up his track shoes and trekked out west. At L'P, he jockeyed tunes on KDUP and enjoyed the party life. For extra cash, he became the snack connoisseur at (late Villa. He volunteered for 'Fhe Beacon and applied as Assistant Sports Editor. But a west coast involvement meant strained home front relations. McClafferty said, "I felt like a stranger. Being so far away, I've gained a lot of independence. I look forward to going home, but I feel I'm going to be a bit suffocated." When the moment of truth arrived, "I had a ticket to fly home for spring break and I sold it for $150 cash and went to Texas with it."

Hermiston, who flagged down two Tri-Met ex­ presses to and from work. "You really begin to have three lives. I have my school life, my work life and my bus life," she said. Diversity of people on the bus and waiting around turned most students off but intrigued and revived Hermiston, who sucked up every bit of American culture. She explained, "There are some really interesting people on the busses anil we go through many different parts of town. You <:nd up chatting with all kinds of people, young and old."

Sophomore Jim F.ngberg is making the move from home life to real life with the help of his new toy, the Hew let Packard 95LX. The hand-held computer planner serves partly as a mom and partly as a secretary.

Engberg inputs everything from addresses and phone numbers to notes for term papers and dates for important meetings. And like any good mother, the 95LX won't let him forget a commitment, with a built in alarm mechanism. "I've set it to tell mc four days before anyone's birthday, so I have time- to start looking for a gift," said Engberg.

In high school I realized it but ignored it." The learning environment at UP shocked her. Lecture-based classes, studying, and large gaps between classes meant practicing self-discipline. Sudden changes create yearning for the comfort of home and high school ways. "I wanted to be back in high school," she said. "I realized I ived at school. I've never had to spend my whole ife there. Now, all my friends live with me which detracts from studying." Kuwata had trouble feeling comfortable at UP. She said it looked as if she'd become accustomed to "the way things are around here" and then took a nose dive, "'this just isn't the place for me," said Kuwata, who felt she couldn't fit in at UP.

X / Stress zaps students from every angle

t caused disease, provided a cure, an excuse. It forced people to react. Lori Vandermeer, sophomore, got an ulcer because of it. The Pilots won with it. \ No one escaped from it. Friend and foe dealt with it. The mystery "it," defined as stress, showed up in every aspect of University life. The more familiar stresses came from academic responsibilities. Papers due, exams, project deadlines loomed from the start of each semester. Social obligations and financial worries added to the many faces of stress. Freshman Carey Lachenmeier said, "School and money, or rather lack of money stresses me out." Lachenmeier reduced his stress by cutting out the beer runs spring semester. Stress attacked the mind and body. Nausea, headaches, backaches, blurred vision, stomach cramps and insomnia headed the list of physical problems associated with lots of stress. "I have an ulcer from stress. I think I worry too much, more than I need to about tests and homework," said Vandermeer. Stressers sometimes threatened to inflict injury upon themselves. "I'm gonna pull my hair out. I'm gonna turn this assignment in and I don't care how it turns out. That's how stressed I am," said Sheila Vaillancourt. Lachenmeier suggested, "If I get too stressed out I study for an hour more, call it quits, and deal with the grade." The positive side of stress came in the form of results. Seeing the good grades on exams, writing A+ papers or creating wonderful gadgets made the worry worth the effort. "I surprised myself. I got a four point last semester," grinned Kathy Codanti. She proved hard work earned solid grades. Screaming, listening to music, settling, winning, quitting, exercising - to each his or her own. The solution to the stress may have simply required one big. strong, deep breath and an even longer exhale. —by Sarah Geers

his is it, opening day and its curtains, or more appropriately books—out the window. That's how business professor Kent Collings traditionally started his Organizational Behavior class. Faculty members used attention grabbers of all sorts to get and keep the audiences that fill class­ rooms every day. In fact, teaching resembled acting in many ways. According to music professor Philip Cansler, "teaching is like being on stage, but in class you only have one take, no second chances and you have to be prepared." Being prepared was key for Spanish instructor Manuel Macias. He said, "Even after 36 years of teaching, the first day of class is one for nervous anxiety; so I always have a canned speech ready to spell out the course guidelines." On the flip side, spontaneity also played a major role in the act of teaching, said Richard Askay. He said he didn't like to be totally prepared. "Let your mind stay fresh. Students remember better when humor and off-beat examples are used," he said. Music instructor Ken Kleszynski explained that in teaching, keeping lectures fresh was necessarv to give the appearance of the first performance or teaching for the first time. Sociology professor Robert Duff, chosen instructor of the year at UP, tried to get himself fired up before doing the same for students in class. He pictured himself shadow boxing in the corner to get his adrenaline flowing anil used his prep time to make connections between students and subject. Michael Dente, art professor, summed up the skill of teaching as an extemporaneous performance. "When you teach it is somewhat unrehearsed, based on previous experiences, previous professors and coined phrases—all to keep it exciting." —bv Donna McDermott & Dave Finch

The privileged 1991 -92 University of Portland group partook of the golden brew as well as the golden year. Even more than bier (beer), 38 students enjoyed the 28th year of study abroad in Salzburg, Austria. The 8-month cultural experience gave students an increased appreciation for German, art, music, his­ tory, politics, philosophy and theology. Austrian professors taught students in a one-room school four days per week. Junior Adina Flynn described her abroad expe­ rience as one full of change. "I went over swearing I'd never own a pair of Birkenstocks, now I have two. I learned so much about politics, history. But the greatest part about the year is our group—my second family." Sophomore Jennifer Gillick added, "I'd bet my life that everyone had a good year. We were all really

different. But after Spring Tour we became really close. I grew a lot. We all changed together." fhe year spent in the middle of the Alps allowed students to take long weekends to travel.

There's no way I can do it all. This library is so noisy. I need some caffeine." The last minute pursuit of knowledge, referred to as "late night cramming," produced many works of art. It also threatened many good grades. Frantic students dug up energy just in time for exams. Junior Shari Kawakami added, "("ramming is the worst. Missing class and waiting to study until late fl^B^^ the night before the exam docs not work." Freshmen, seniors and students in between related to the cramming phenomenon. According to senior DJ Norman, "96 percent of the student body crams." Late-night frustrations ranged from the buzzing fluorescent lights to the party down the hall. In search of the right studying atmosphere students wasted precious moments of study time. The count down to the test loomed heavily upon the conscience of the crammer. PANIC, entered the late night study scene. Emotions ran wild. Frustra­ tion, hopelessness and finally exhaustion took its toll. The clock ticked away and panic set in as the body's need for sleep spoke loudly. Master crammers offered words of wisdom. Opening windows, taking walks to the restroom, studying standing up and the ultimate waker-upper, the of water-in-the-face trick topped the list of cramming survival techniques.

nyone who's not doin' the straight-outta-high-school, living-on-campus, four year graduation thing—and over twenty-five," could be considered a non-traditional student, said junior Mark Covert. When I started back here in '79, straight out of high school, there were some older students, but not nearly as many as we see now." After nine years and four businesses later, Covert returned to school. "People don't seem to be as afraid to change careers. It used to be you were locked in a career. It's just not like that anymore." Non-traditional students tackled school while still balancing work and family. Senior Mary Ann Englund said, "In 23 years, I've had six kids. When I get my degree in c93, I'll have been working toward it for eighteen years." Englund added that traditional students per­ ceived non-traditionals differently. "I went to a slumber party a couple weeks ago. The following day, a student commented on my tired looks. She conveyed to me surprise that someone over 22 would participate in such antics. Life doesn't stop at 25," exclaimed Englund. She added, "Boundaries are not so clear cut. I don't know if students come up to me for advice as a mom-type person or a schoolmate-type person." I laving seen the world and gone through school before, returning to college raised some insecurities. "Weird things go through your head when you're older. Senior Sharon Mabin said, "'Why didn't I do this right out of high school? I'm not really intelligent, just older.' Then I think one thing will just snap everything out from under me." These students found common ground, shared their insecurities and aspects of life off-campus with table-fellowship. Englund explained, "We have two or three tables of non-traditional students in fhe Cove in the morning. Our conversations range from illness of kids, emergency room visits at 5 a.m., to "What's another way to sene 'fop Ramen for dinner?"" —by Ctersha Lindley

Instructors are real people, too

espite UP's small size, students just couldn't help it. UP's personable and interaction is encouraged, but in the eyes of many students, instructors are just instructors—not real people. [ "I guess professors have other lives," said Freshman Alyson Estrella, "but I don't see that side, I never really look at them as people—just as instructors." "As a teacher you struggle with students seeing anything one dimen- sionally," said sociology instructor Joe Gallegos. "If your objective is to create critical thinkers, students should be able to see instructors as multi-dimensional." Even instructors who viewed lack of understanding as a problem, realized reaching even' student was impossible. Math instructor Rev. John Kurtzke said, "Most of my students don't know me as a person, but some do and that's fine. I wouldn't expect to have personal interaction with 2,000 undergrads."

Biology professor Frances Makowski said students not having personal interaction with instructors was terrible. "It's certainly not something that the faculty wants to convey. Roth sides should try to understand the other." Philosophy instructor Thomas Loughran said failing to understand students created barriers. "You have to know who you're trying to influence." But the blame may have been on both sides. "Students aren't giving of themselves," said English Professor Herman Asarnow. "I compare it to me being on the earth and watching the moon; I only see one face of it. That makes the whole process one dimensional." Sophomore Danielle Morse said, "If instructors get up in front of the class and tell about themselves, then I can relate to them, but if they start talking about due dates then I think of them as just instructors." —by Troy Zaboukos

"We don't want students to be prisoners of the last book or newspaper they read. (They need to) realize that people in the past were parts of different cultures, with different problems. They need to look at life from many different angles."

"How to do research. The more impor­ tant things (would be): developing critical thinking skills, becoming familiar with latest research material, recent scholarship within student's chosen specialty, biblio­ graphic material, know how to use the library in a professional fashion."

"Underlying all of it (different perspectives and an appreciation of many world views) would be the ability to communicate."

"To possess a sense of history—that things of our past are often connected to our present, and possibly our future."

History is more than the cramming of dates and details. It develops "the ability to put modern situations in historical perspective."

le clock struck midnight. Cinderella's coach turned into a pumpkin. The witches began their folly...and suffering students paid for the sin even' college student commited. They served their sentences in procrastinator purgatory. Friends, laziness and a sometimes irresistible urge to put things off caused major problems in almost every student's life. "I always seem to remember things I forgot to tell people when I'm studying. So, I run over and just say it...and stay for five or ten minutes," said senior Amy Crook. Some people socialized or found extracurricular activities more important than getting a head start on gruelling hours of homework. "I would rather do anything in this world, even sleep. It's more interest­ ing than my homework," said professional procrasti­ nator, sophomore Paul Jara. The second hurdle in the race against the due date arrived once students decided the homework could no longer wait. "On a night I have a paper due, I have to have the right environment. So, I clean my room (sometimes) and my desk. Sometimes I go to Fred's to get typing paper, etc.," said junior Katie Brennan. Students put off studies through socializing or "finding better things to do." The first obstacle seemed simple enough, setting aside time and energy to do the project. Staying focused and having the right atmosphere proved more difficult. The majority of students procrastinated at one time or another, "It just seems normal. Everybody else seems to do it," said Crook. Jara, more cynical or "realistic," added that, "You could pick up the phone, dial a 1, then dial a 4. Then randomly choose any two digits and you'll get a procrastinator." — by Ctersha Lindley

11 for one and one for all. Cooperative learning became the arena which students developed interpersonal skills and the ability to delegate responsi­ bility. Concepts and examples jumped off the pages of textbooks and lecture notes as team members acted them out. Education majors took a multicultural class in which each group studied and represented different sects of society ranging from Hispanics to homo­ v sexuals to Afro-Americans. Communication stu­ dents broke into groups of five and created their own companies. Each company interviewed clients from the other groups and vice versa. Business students profiled companies like the T-Room and P-Room, and offered their suggestions for better manage­ ment, including a bookkeeping computer link.

Group learning intensified textbook informa­ tion, allowing students closer contact with classmates. In Theologies of Liberation, sophomore Faisal Al- Hajri used creativity as he played a perspective date on fhe Love Connection, while remaining scholarly «^ on Jewish Liberation Theology. Al-Hajri added, "We needed it to be fun, keep the people laughing. 'What did Hitler do? What did the Jews dor' That -. made it very boring." Just as in sports, teams practiced selectivity in choosing members. Sophomore Ian Bubenik said, "You need to find cooperative, responsible people who are going to work. It also helps your group to function well if you have some sort of camaraderie so you can get your group tasks done." Group projects aided in learning, but they also taxed more energy. Depending on others to complete their tasks created stress. Bubenik added personality clashes also caused problems. "Some members want to dominate a group too much ,\nd they don't let other ideas be heard." For the most part, however, cooperative learning added a new quality to education. Al-Hajri reported, "no frustrations so far." —by Ctersha Lindley

P Instructors throughout the disciplines inspired students to study their subjects. Some did it by being themselves. Some showed interest in their students. Others were inspirational because of their accomplishments. Professor Richard Rutherford told stories and everyone watched his face light up. Russell Butkus showed students how- to put social justice into practice. Sophomore Maika Ramos said, "A teacher is inspiring to me because he or she has done something that I also want to accomplish. Inspirational teachers show an interest in you, they push you to do your very best." Professor Joan Saalfeld made a com­ plex Faulkner course easier to understand. Khalid Kahn took on the role of visionary for the School of Engineering. Senior Jacinta Haas said professors inspired by getting excited about their field of study. "It's contagious. Somehow they strike a chord in you. They give you challenging assignments because they want to push you." Professor Kent Collings tossed books out a window to gain students' attention. Rick Seifert placed students in real-life situations and then tested their perspectives. Christina Harsaghy expanded on Baasten's ability to inspire as a professor. "He is honest. He doesn't try and impress anyone. He doesn't act above us. He cares about his students. He's a non-conformist. He won't put up with things the way they are...he shows you can take control of certain issues in lite. He applies what we read to our lives." Ardy Dunn. Ellen Arwood. Manuel Macias. Lou Masson.

Obtain a "social imagination", "to manage our part in the big picture."

"Understand our place in time, our physi­ cal place in the society we're living in. These create a set of realities that define how a person will live his or her life."

We must always ask the question, "Why?" "What keeps a family together Why is there divorce? The goal is that once we under­ stand the 'forces,' then we can be better capable of controlling them."

Have an understanding on the "nature of culture, the causes of ethnocentrism." With that comes "significant moral impli­ cations. Then people will hopefully be not so judgmental, unsympathetic. Take the case of racial stratification, for instance."

Discuss data, research method, and socio­ logical studies.

There should always be an active question­ ing, and hypothesizing. "Don't accept A simply observation as truth. Test it. Soci­ ologists try to test common sense, look bevond common sense."

urabian. MI.A. APA. Six-to-ten pages. These buzzwords struck fear into hearts of students. Research papers comprised a card catalog of subjects, ranging from Chinese philosophy to international trade. Conducting re­ search meant discipline, commitment and shortcuts. Sophomore Brian Misso "j? v- \ m\ said, "I read one book before I take notes to get a general idea of my focus." Realizing the depth of research, students developed methods for churn­ ing out papers. Like animals backed into a corner, students used guile and cunning to fill in research blanks. Tactics ranged from extensive photocopy­ ing to "selective borrowing." An anonymous sophomore cited, "It's a good trick because no one ever uses six or more sources, you just use maybe two. From bibliographies, you conveniently use their sources. You didn't do the work, but he did...so it's like telling a half-truth." Students maintained order by taking inven­ tory. Keeping tight control of page numbers and references was crucial in the race against deadlines. Junior Shannon Car}' said, "I write everything from a particular book on its own piece of paper, with any quotes and all the page numbers." Time gained from taking shortcuts became consumed by the frustration of inadequate library facilities and incomplete reference listings. After passing through the stages of depression, anger and helplessness, organizing facts took priority. In the tradition of college chaos, book sprawling became compiling method-of-choice. Misso said, "I laid out all my notes in front of me so that I could go through all of them at the same time." Keith Barger made a checklist to prepare him for the most dreaded undergraduate paper, the senior thesis. "I have to eat, drink and sleep my topic. I've got to have the highlighter at all times. And, I have to have my ba- ba—you know, a drink bottle." facts .\nd figures ready, the highlighter worked overtime and fingers flailed across typewriter keyboards. —by Ctersha Lindley

Develop an understanding and respect for the seven major world religions, their themes and origins (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hindu­ ism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism)

Students should be acquainted with "the history from which Judeo-Christian culture emerged and was molded and its chief artifact and artificer—the Bible in Old and New Testaments."

Be able to critically reflect on the function of religion in society and in one's own life (espe­ cially Scriptures—become acquainted with contemporary critiques and interpretation of controversial Biblical texts)

"Understand each religion sympathetically; that is, we will not compare religions in order to judge one 'right' and the rest 'wrong.' Rather we will try to understand each of them as presenting various responses to the central questions or problems of human life and death."

cting is reacting," said Wes Sedlacek, actor/reactor. Every actor differed in approach. Techniques for getting into character, methods of memorizing ines, and the ways actors worked out opening-night jitters varied as much as ie personalities of the actors. A preview counteracted the nervousness of opening night. Sedlacek said, "It's always easier to have already worked with an audience." He prepared for roles by coin citing himself into character backstage. "When playing an old man, I begin to walk slowly and talk slowly . . ." Meagan Erikson used her past experience to become immersed in a character. In the play "Brighton Beach Memoirs," Erikson used conflicts with her parents to help relate to the character she played. "Going over my lines also helps a lot for me to get into character," said Erikson. Backstage, the cast interacted like family. They reacted to one another as characters, not friends. This created atmosphere and defined the relation­ ships between characters as the audience experi­ enced them. Erikson referred to the actor portray­ ing her mother as "Mom." "You want to combine everything and just become the person you are playing," said Erikson. Actor Connor Kerns said he warmed up the voice, the body and the brain. He explained, "The important thing to know is where you are before the script starts. What have you just been doing? It's called 'the moment before'." With strong warm-ups, actors used nervous tension from opening night to energize character and performance. Actress Trish Egan's ideal was to "know the lines and the character so well you only have to focus on being the character and reacting to those around you. It becomes another arm or leg; a part of you. If things are going really well and it is that dream performance that only happens once in a while, you don't even remember there is an audience there; you become your character." fhe layering effect of putting on a character defined one theory of drama Egan employed. Makeup, voice, physical characteristics, and personality played roles in "the process of Stripping oflFmy layers and putting on the layers of the other character." —bv Tricia Herbes P. icture tin-- |eanette rfodin explains the tacts of life to Hazen [ette durins Mother v ourage.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is education for adults.

Philosophy is learning how to learn.

Philosophy is a spirit of active Inquiry.

"The study of philosophy offers a direct challenge to today's values as they really are, not as we pretend they are."

"We live in a fast-food, disposable, consum- erist culture. These values have infected the educational process, in the attitude of 'just give us the facts.' Learning textbooks and lecture notes parrot-fashion, only to regurgi­ tate it for exams, and then forget it as worth­ less—you might as well learn from the yellow pages."

"The aim of philosophy courses is not pri­ marily to produce people who know what Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, etc., said about x, y, or z. It is to produce people who can critically appraise . . . people who can ask the right questions . . . who genuinely value inquiry and dialogue for its own sake."

"Western philosophy is not all there is.' ^F E!ti«»»?tttt««i ImiiitmtiililiriiiU'imtml PERSONALITY Valedictorian fulfills a dream

had this dream of going to college," said valedictorian Andrea D'Ostroph. "It was kind of nice as a dream, but if I flunked out it couldn't even be a dream anymore. Eor the longest time, I didn't want to know if*I could do it." Much changed in four years. The biggest change was D'Ostroph's understanding of herself and other students. After a 12-year absence, while she put her husband through college, D'Ostroph H v^-JA enrolled at UP. Juggling the insecurities of returning with the responsibilities of a family of four, D'Ostroph ob­ served an undergraduate student body with too much time on its hands. "I thought traditional students had it made. They had no dishes, no cleaning. I felt I was going to miss out on the dorm life, but that's not what I came to school for." What she did come to school for was to get A's— all As. Through four years of a biology major, her lowest grades were two A-'s which she received in organic chemistry and the related lab. "I was rather upset," she said of low evaluation. "I'm highly self-motivated. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I knew I needed good grades to be accepted into medical school." 01ISU jumped at the chance to accept the 3.99 grad. She added, "I'm the type of person who won't stop studying. I never feel I know enough. My motivation stems from wanting to know it." Meanwhile D'Ostroph found that traditional students weren't the slufs she originally made them out to be. They had the same fears and insecurities, the same ambitions to fit in. D'Ostroph never forgot her responsibility to raise two daughters, making a commitment to spend time with them every day. "Sometimes I felt like a juggler, but I proved it wouldn't come tumbling down." The D'Ostroph family has since made good grades a family affair. Neither of her two daughters—Angelique and C'hante—have ever received less than an A. She said, "I tell them to come home and just relax, but they don't see me practicing what I preach." —by Troy Zaboukos A own time.

Women complete hottest season wmmtiwC'M from national campionship Robbed without a gun. That's how members of the women's soccer team felt after knocking off" No. 3 Santa Clara and No. 12 UC Santa Barbara and not being selected among the top 12 teams for the NCAA tourney. "Wc kind of got screwed over," said midfielder Tracy Osborn of the Pilot's best season to date. UP, ranked as high as twelfth in the nation, was undefeated through its first 11 games and outscored its opponents 129-36. "We're a new program," said midfielder Christina Harsaghy. "It's not that we're not capable of beating the top teams; we just have to establish ourselves." Sophomore Tiffeny Milbrett established herself as one of the top scoring threats in the nation. She broke her own UP scoring record with 56 points and 25 goals en route to an All - American selection. Coming off" her National Freshman of the

'T think (the voting coaches) were afraid of us," said Milbrett, "but it would be absurd to let a team in that hasn't played at that level. Maybe UP will get that same break sometime Instead of bitterness, the Pilots are already fired up to get another chance. Osborn said, "Our team is just going to have to work harder and try to prove in every game that we belong in the national tournament." Milbrett added, "We've set the standard and now just can't go below it."

Despite losing a bid for a fourth consecutive WCC title and being bumped from the national rankings by midseason, the men's soccer team reached the NCAA playoffs for the fourth consecutive time. UP knocked Florida International for a 1 -0 quadruple overtime loss in the first round, only to suffer the same fate 0-3 against UCLA in the second round. The Pilots opened the season ranked sixth in the nation but dropped quickly after consecutive losses to Connecticut, UCLA and SMU. A loss to NAIA power house Seattle Pacific later in the season bumped the Pilots from the rankings for good. UP ended the season in third place in the WCC into the NCAA playoffs Despite UP's schedule beinj tagged as the second most difficult in the nation by Soccer America, UP couldn't gain tin support of"the pollsters until the bids were named for the NCAA tournament. Senior defender Sam Singer said, "The ranking really doesn't mean much until i comes to getting a bid into the national championship." He added, "People are trying to compare our record to past years. You can't pla the schedule we did and come out 21-1. Wc played crap teams four years ago (an each year the opponents improved). Getting through our own league is har enough with teams like San Francisco and Santa Clara which were ranked. And think the pollsters took that into account when voting us in." At home, the Pilots excelled. In fact, they were flawless. Leading tli team to its perfect 9-0 home record, 12-6 overall, was senior Joe Leonetti, who led the WCC! with 31 points. Both Leonetti an U.S. Olympic team goalie Kasey Keller were finalists for the Mi: souri Athletic Club Collegiate Player of the Year.

Cross country runner Pete Julian expected to make the NCAA championships for the first time this year, but never expected to end up there alone. The men's cross country team fell short of their goal of a first ever NCAA berth, leaving Julian all alone with a fifth place finish in the Region 8 championship and an advance into the national tournament. "I figured the only way I'd get (to the nationals) was as a team," said Julian. "I wasn't even thinking individually." Even without his team, Julian took advantage of a free ride to Tucson, Arizona for a fourty-fourth place against the nation's top 250 collegiate runners. uniors Pete fulian and Mary Scott led UP to top place finishes in the "Spending four days with all those gins gave me a new \\ ' l . Julian went on to a lilln place finish in the reginals and a first perspective," said Julian. " They're all doing homework and trying ever l»-ith in the NCAA national tournament. to get by. It made me ask why we haven't been here before." The Pilots weren't far from getting there. With a first national ranking (as high as sixteenth) and thirteenth consecutive WCC! championship, the Pilots were a strong race away from advancing. "We beat several teams that advanced to the national champi­ Al te onships. Although we didn't make the national championships, we made huge strides at establishing ourselves as a top team." The women's team hopped back into the WCC driver seat, regaining the title for the fourth time in five years. Freshman Meagan Dockter led the team all season and ran for a thirteenth place finish at the Region 8 championship.

cfow^ The UP volleyball team hitched a ride on the rollercoastcr express to a three way tie for fourth place in the WCC. UP served up eight wins in 10 games and their best start ever in the WCC. They fell quickly though with three straight losses, two of which the team avenged later in the year. "It was tough," said outside hitter Laura Coyle, who played with the team for tour years. "We were the strongest and most competitive we've ever been, but others were that much better. So it was usually a toss up who was going to win." The better competition didn't stop all conference i second team) setter Kelly Parnell from tossing up a league leading average for aces.

"We had really high hopes going into the season," said Coyle thanks to a "sophisticated offense" allowing more options. "We lost a tew with dumb mistakes though."

The guys will go, 'Yeah, Anita, whine some more,'" said engineering major Anita Bose, expaining her method of persuading professors to lighten engi­ neering coursework. "If it weren't for mc in the class whining as much as I do, we'd probably get the planned workload. The professor gets so dis­ gusted with me that he assigns less or extends the deadline." Though Bose might have, on occasion, convinced the professor to knock off a couple assignments, she never shied away from hard Fonda Eric work or responsibility. Bose went through the ranks of"high school Jorge Aoyama Areces Arterberry quickly and entered the Multnomah School of Engineering at age 16. "If you work hard at something, 10-to-l you're going to get it." said Bose. Flying through high school in Singapore newer prepared her for the changing and growing she would do in college. "Before this I have never been exposed to Western culture. After four years of going to school, it's really opened my eyes. I started seeing the world as it is. We were really sheltered back home."

Definitely a product of her environment, Fernandez credited her parents for helping to show the value of high personal standards. "My father immigrated from South America and always beliex-ed in the hard-work ethic. My mother is a teacher. If"I have any patience, I gel it from her." At an early age, Fernandez began to follow the standards ofher parents. "I think I was born motivated. I was one of those kids who never had to be told by my parents to do my homework. What's important to mc I get done. When I do something, I put in 100% of what I can." She added, "Every morning you wonder why you get out of bed. Once you discover you have motivation, it's like a rolling ball. I really believe the effort you put into something, you get out." Throughout her life, Fernandez has lived this philosophy. In high school, she enjoyed debate. At UP, she played an active role in Shipstad Hall Council. She pursued her "first love," radio, by becoming a DJ and then taking a chance and applying for promo­ tional director at KDUP, a position she held for two years. Though she worked many jobs, Fernandez drew the line when she stopped feeling effective. "I was a Senator and got really frustrated because I felt like I couldn't do anything, so I got involved with CPB." As CPB director, Fernandez had to apply all her leadership values And personal standards. "I definitely believe people have their own responsibilities. I have high ideals ofwhat I expect from other people. What I expect of" myself, I expect ot others." About her work as CPB director, she added, "This year is IOO good to be true. It's been really fun for me. It makes what I do fun instead of tiresome. I appreciate what other people do. I think they'd rather do a job than ask tor help. (But) if you lend a hand to Terrence Chantal Susan someone, they'll lend a hand back." Cullen Cunha Daly Fernandez reflected on her four years of personal growth and a possible career in law. "I wasn't stifled at all by other people's views. When you start out, you kind of get to pick your own person. That's the w ay it should be. I think I realize that there's a lot to be found by simply fixing." Whether shovelling gravel or debating constitutional law, Fernandez's work ethic and strong self-esteem made her a role model.

You're a freshman at UP and the only thing you want to do is get out of the class without opening your mouth. "I don't suppose anyone wants to give a speech right now," asks the instructor. You cringe. But Mike Gasca stands up, heads for the podium and begins telling about himself. "I don't mind being the center of attention," said Washington I luskies football fan Mike Gasca. "I have the feeling a lot of people don't express themselves because they're afraid of what others think. I want to be my own person, regardless ofwhat other people think." Such candor earned Gasca a reputation for being a little wild and keeping things "very light." He continued, "People will sax- 'you're different alright, Mike' because I'll break out dancing really crazy or tell a joke when they Jennifer Elizabeth Lynda don't expect it.. I see myself as obnoxious, but I knoxx- when to be Gorsuch Gossack Grande serious. My biggest problem is not being understood. I'm often taken out ot" context. People who knoxx- me know I'm three pronged: caring, friendly and very obnoxious." Gasca was a role player in the team-oriented sense. As a backup on the Pilot baseball pitching squad his sophomore year, Gasca learned much about being a team member and even more about life. "Everyone's equal on the baseball field," he said. "Everyone has their role. When you're starting you have to play, but when you're not you support those who are by hustling and staying upbeat." While not leading the team on the field, Gasca looked at himself as a leader in many other ways, especially for theJV baseball team he coached at Roosevelt I Iigh School. "My role is to teach the kids the basics of baseball. I try to be a role model and lead by example. It's almost unfair that I'm getting paid to do something I like to do." Curtis Tina Chad Gasca also played a leading role as a fisherman for the Wards Cove Hale Hampton Hancock Packing Co. in Alaska every summer. Before playing commercial roles, Gasca toed the line at home. "When most people were out having fun on Saturday, my dad had mc working in the yard. He wouldn't settle for anything like a dirty room."

"Christ would have to be the most important thing to me, more than homework or my social life. He's who I am more than anything else," said Sandlin.

Faith in Christ and supportive parents helped Sandlin see the value of looking at life in various dimensions.

Today John Stewart fights his own Battle for Independent Thought. Detesting apathy and censorship, Stewart voiced his concerns about commercial media, especially newspapers and television, through the Senate, the Beacon and his favorite stomping ground, KDUP. While always ready to state his position on issues, he made an effort not to become too extreme. "I think anything taken to the extreme is bad. You don't change people's opinions by shoving things down their throats." As a vocal critic on campus, Stewart seemed a far cry from his conservative background. Going through an all-male high school, he observed cliques at other schools and developed a strong hatred Margaret Randall Linda of them because they made him feel like an outsider. As General Reillv Ridgely Roberts Manager of KDUP, he reached out to the segments of campus that tell outside the mainstream. More than playing "different" music, he nurtured an all-inclusive atmosphere and "the opportunity for diversity. It lets people just be who they are." fhe diverse backgrounds of DJ's and staff exemplified his desire to include so-called outsiders."There are so many different ways of looking at the world, different ways of living, just being around these people has really made me open my eyes and accept people who don't come from my circle," said Stewart. "It's a living, absolutely crazy, but I like it like that. It makes me happy and I wouldn't trade it." Developing the ability to motivate his staff helped him realize the value or his co-workers.

His dream job: To become the next Trailblazcr broadcaster. With screwy wit and strange insight, Wendt combined with Dustin Miller as humor columnists for two years—making them two of the most recognized odd balls on campus. "Ifyou keep your feet on the ground and you're not an arrogant bastard, that is, you don't actually think you have something up on people, it's funny to act like you do. It's funny to have everyone knoxx you when you're just an ordinary guy." An ordinary guy, Wendt was—in the David Letterman style. One week he suggested in his column "taking off"your clothes, drinking a gallon of gas and threatening to smoke in the registrar's office" to get into a closed class (Of course, the motivation was to receive the BMW the parents promised for graduating on time). Wendt said, "I remember when I began writing the column sax ing, i have to start being funnier in order to write funnier.'" Once Wendt experienced fixing his column, he never looked back. But Wendt wasn't always interested in being mainstream. In tact, before he became a status symbol, he was socially quarantined.

"I used to think I could help a lot, but just helping one or two is a big accomplishment." While Rukliss negotiated cases with troubled youth, Holly Anderson spent 16-hours per week doing clinicals at Bess Kaiser 1 lospital. In halt' semester increments, nursing students completed rotations, beginning in their junior years. For additional education, students "rotated" between medical/surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics and mental health. "It's really intense," said Anderson.

Resumes, tests, interviews and other last-minute peparations made final semester a test ofperserverence and ability. Recession and layoffs pushed students to their creative limits as they struggled for future positions against seasoned professionals. Diffi­ cult classwork topped the stress list. "I think last semester is much harder than the rest. There's a tremendous amount of material. There's much more studying, a lot more work and more individual research," said accounting major, Tom Barnes.

Recession and severe layoffs made getting a foot in the door of the busi­ ness world painful on the toes. Barnes added that job offers from national accounting firms haxe dropped from 15 or 16 to two. Engineering student Trevor Laine said, "I'm stressed because the job market is so bad now. It's difficult competing xxith people who've just been laid off." I leaxy competition meant creative portfolios and resumes. Claire Anderson explained the process she endured to become a teacher, fhe Teaching Standards and Practices Commission requires a portfolio, her "collection of teacher stuff." She included: "supply lists, writing essays on reading ideas, bulletin boards, lesson plans, philosophy of education, instructional activities." Next, She had to pass the National Teachers Exam. Getting hired required extensive work with children and teaching experience. Job preparation, internships and maintenance of a personal life brought seniors face-to-face with senioritis. When stresses piled up, seniors learned to take a breather. Engineering major Adrian Schuettke recommended kicking out stress by taking a karate class. Whatever the major, whatever direction in life, the second semester crunch gave seniors a gruelling reminder of their college experience. —bv Ctersha Lindlev "Constipation; just "the massive count­ waiting to be liber­ down to May 3.

As soon as I got the diploma, there was a lot of electricity. I said, "Okay, It's been four years and this is the end," said jubilant graduate Leslyn Nakamura. Emotions overflowed as anxious graduates preserved through lengthy speeches and unbearable heat at graduation. Stephen Schwary felt the rush of success swell as he finally clasped his goal. "The graduation was a culmination of many different emotions I cannot even begin to describe. My heart was pounding when I got up to the stage...! was finally done." Anxiety to finally leave school struck se­ niors as they finished their last finals, turned in theses and attended the final classes.

Nakamura added, "It's strange because it feels like it's good to be out of a routine. It's good, but it gets me nervous." To relieve the stress, students partied until graduation. Seniors downed beer after beer as they hit Lombard bars during the annual Pub Crawl. They became wild xxith the Crazy 8's at the Blowout and rocked into the morning hours at the Senior Party in the Convention ("enter. However, last minute requirements dictated the extent of participation. Unable to recuperate from a difficult semester in time for the early events, Patty Burge recovered just in time to bid farewell at the Senior Party. "I did not participate in the Crawl. I was pretty burned out. fhe full effect is hitting me tonight. I'm having a lot of fun. It's wonderful, the best feeling in the world." Whether they shared beer on the Crawl, laughed at the slide shoxx- or cried at Graduation, seniors lavished the joy of finishing college.

Volume 58 Located in St. Mary's Student Center - 5000 R Willamette Blvd. I Portland, OR 97203 (503)283-7114

The Concept: Profile UP like it never has been seen before. We were gearing toward a dramatic, artistic and true-to-life book. We placed less emphasis on group shots in the club, faculty and sports sections in order to better represent UP life. Instead of covering events, we intended to be an issue-oriented book that more people could relate to. Of course, we had simple expectations of . photos being clear and creative with accompanying stories being fun and in-depth. Wc decided early on to eliminate color, which •*- would contrast xvith dramatic "slap-people-in-the-face" opening and closing photos.

The Theme: UP Close: The theme was inspired by the photo­ M.' graphic portrait exemplified in our senior profiles. We wanted to show the personal side of members within the community. We went past the superficial, posed shot and showed students with their guard down—in everyday situations. k- t The Challenge: 1. Shock the UP community with a comprehen­ r sive annual that is professionally produced. 2. Show what it meant • I to be a "UP student in '92." 3. Pack the year into 216 pages, representing 2,500 students. With coverage of dating, making friends, getting into shape, cramming for exams...The Log hit on students' unique experiences.

Specifics: 1,500 Logs were produced on the Macintosh Page­ Maker and MicroSoft Word programs.. Headline designs were imported from TypeStyler, Type F/X and Aldus Freehand. Division page graphics were doctored in Adobe PhotoShop. ; - Most of the body copy was 10-point Galliard; the captions were 11-point Reed. Most photos were shot with Kodak T-Max 400 or 3200 speed film. They were reproduced at Taylor with a 150- line screen. The cover had a hand-tooled grain, lexitone finish designed by Delores Landin. Pages of the book are 80 lb. matte with Rainbow recycled stock used for endsheets.

Special thanks to Sally Click for assistance and support, Scott Thompson for division page designs and technical assistance and &f* Taylor Representative Ellie Dir for working as our production liaison. Thanks to our volunteers: Dave Finch, Tricia Herbes, Missy J Koble, Ben Louie, Donna McDermott, Kevin Schreck and Erin Velarde. * A final thanks to advertisers Barnes and Nobles, Columbia Photography Studio, the Board of Regents and ASUP for addi­ tional funding.
