In 1971, he served as assistant U.S. attorney under Thornburgh, then followed him to a post at the U.S. Justice Department in Washington, D.C., under President Ford. After managing Thornburgh’s success- ful Pennsylvania gubernatorial campaign in 1978, Waldman went to Harrisburg as one of the new governor’s “Five Musketeers”—his inner circle of close advisers. As executive assistant and general counsel to Thornburgh, Waldman became famous for his willingness to take the heat when the governor made difficult politi- cal decisions. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin called him “the power behind the throne,” while the Philadelphia Inquirer Friends of the late U.S. District Judge Jay C. Waldman join Pitt Chancellor Mark A.

Miracle, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Higher education is often credited with being an effective means for an individual to invest in and acquire skills and knowledge—often referred to as human capital. Participating in higher education may also provide an individual with the opportunity to build valuable relationships with individuals that result in access to resources such as information, the mutual exchange of favors, emotional support and career networking—often referred to as social capital. While it is understood that higher education is an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate human capital, it is not as clearly understood how higher education can be an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate other forms of capital, such as social capital.

Maxine Bruhns A fresco depicting Ciurlionis’ famous paint- ing The Two Kings portrays the reverence Lithuanians have for their villages. This mu- ral sets the tone for a room that pays tribute to the symbolism and love of nature and home reflected in Lithuanian folk art. The door bears a carved rosette, symbol of fire. Above, a stylized sun between two horses’ heads represents light and sound be- lieved to ward off evil spirits. The white oak molding of intersecting scallops resembles decorations found on farm granaries, or klei- tis. Names of famous Lithuanians are carved Two Kings on the frieze above the blackboard. The wall linen is woven in a design called “The Path of the Birds,” framed by white oak and rare bog oak. Black or bog oak acquires its deep hue while submerged in a marshy bog for decades. Farmers thus preserve prime trees to make furniture pieces that are treasured as heirlooms. The professor’s chair is of bog oak. The desk is modeled after a household table, and the lectern incorporates details of a spinning wheel spindle. Stu- dent chairs are carved with a design found on household utensils. On the ra- diator enclosure, perforated with a design of wild rue leaves, stands a sculp- ture of the “School of Sorrows” depicting a mother teaching her son the for- bidden Lithuanian language.

Nebraska merged the North weight room located in Schulte Field House with the Circuit room from the South Stadium into the West Stadium Strength Complex. At 13,300 sq. ft., it was the largest weight room in the country at the time with the closest being Oklahoma and Indiana with 6500 sq. ft. each. Bob Devaney said, “As long as I’m the Athletic Director we will continue to provide the best opportunity for our student-athletes to develop themselves physically. It has cost us a great deal of money but I feel it has been very worthwhile for our athletic programs.” The space was completed at a cost of $206,000 not counting new equipment.
