We reflected on the past, lived up the present, and anticipated the future. The past was a time of mistakes, fun and, mostof all, learning. The present dealt with the experiences, adventures and hard work that college life handed us. We prepared to meet our goals, accept all the challenges and face the unknown reality that the future holds. . . story by Jessica DePrizio & Laura Waiz Top: The future of CUA crawls across the gym floor prior to the start of a home basketball game.

Architecture students are known to go into Crough Center and not come out for a day or two. phm by T Murphe\ As tradition willed it. The Catholic University of America, liberal arts institution extraordinair, provided as always a wide range of academic pursuits for its varied body of students. It was John Henry Newman who defined a University as a place of learning that must impart all branches of knowledge unto its students. ''The very name of University," Newman believed, "is inconsistent with restrictions of any kind." During the 1999-2000 academic year, many CUA English professors included in their first year classes Newman's most famous text The Idea of a University thus proving that faculty and staff believe in the importance of a broad academic experience where students may thrive. Besides this, CUA provided for its students an atmosphere in which all branches of knowledge were duly touched upon. CUA continued to offer courses in the fine arts, architecture, computer technology, history, ancient and modern languages, science, social science and theology, as well as many others. Students were able to fully cultivate their intellects and integrate a broad spectrum of knowledge through an interactive approach to learning. Faculty should be credited with CUA's reputation as an academic institution of exemplary standing. Academics have been, and will continue to attract students to CUA. story by Tiffany Murphey Left: Deke Polifka, a student in the Benjamin T Rome School of Music, spends a great deal of time practicing the piano so he can dazzle audiences in the future with his skills. ,./I,.IC.M T Murphey Far Left: With flute in hand and ready to play, this student studies the upcoming notes.

"Defense!" "The bases are loaded. . ." "On the blocks!" "Spike it!" These phrases are just a few that were uttered daily at the Raymond A. DuFour Athletic Center. DuFour served as home base for twenty-one National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III sports and for the multitude of student- athletes who proudly wore their respective red and black colors. With more than fifteen percent of our undergraduate student body involved in varsity sports, Catholic boasted many hard-earned accomplishments and awards on the field, court, track and pool. From the dawn of athletics at CUA, over 100 years ago to the soaring feats of today, each and every student athlete who passed through the doors of DuFour was a superstar.

The only loss of the season came against John Carroll University. Deemed by the media as the Roman Catholic Kick-Off Classic, the Cardinals fought back but came up short for a 26-21 loss. CUA finished the season with nine wins and entered the playoffs with momentum and confidence. The Cards dominated the first half of the game but a Western Maryland comeback sent the team home. Andrew NotaAancesco. a three- year starting loinningback for the Cards, ended his college career with a record 3,857 yards. His 233 yards, on 25 carries, in his last regular sea.son game against Bridgewater tied the school's single-game record. Other records this season were Dan Boyle's school-record 87-yard touchdown run against Emor>- and Henr>'. In the same game, defensive back James Parker set the school single-season record for punt return yards wth 256. Also, senior offensive star Mike Hunter led the team in receptions. The defense was led by senior co-captains Richard Change and Ail- American Brian Hee.

An All- CAC sophomore said, "We started off great, then slipped a little, but we grew as a team." Freshman Steph Roselle replied. "College field hockey is more intense than high school. Coach taught me so much and I can look back on our season positively." Steph captured the essence of the season with one word - intense. Every game played was intense. Junior Captain Meredith McMahon said that this season she "had fun." Isn't that the most important element of any sport? Aren't we out there to have fun? With that in mind, it is fair to say the 1999 Cardinal Field Hockey team had an extremely successful season.

After a rather disappointing season in the CAC last year, this year's team made a huge turn-around and battled its way to the Conference Championship match, finishing as the runner- up. During the season, the ladies won two tournaments and went 24-16. Along with their success came enthusiastic fans. The crowd grew from 20 spectators at the first game to well over 100 rowdy and crazed CUA students near the end of the season. Overall team performance made an impact on the entire conference. The team led in blocks and digs and maintained an excellent hitting percentage. Thi'ee key pla\-ers were recognized for their efforts: freshman setter Bridget Guetle was named the CAC's Rookie of the Year: and sophomore outside hitters Mary Ellen Ryan and Liz Carden were named to the All-Conference first and second teams. respectively. Rounding out the team's success, Coach Nagy Abdelrazek was named CAC Coach of the Year. Story by Katie Acuff Scorebox Bard Win Cedar Crest Win Haverford Win Philadelphia U.

Likewise, junior Captains Ryan McDermott and Dan Dougherty worked with sophomore Matt McHugh to round out the top three positions. WTien asked to comment on t he .'-(•ason. Coach Mark Robinson would say only. "Please excuse m>- percentage faux pas." The team improved steadily all year, focusing on the championship meets at the end of t he season. The men finished fifth at the Mason-Dixon Conference Championship and took third at the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) meet. Both McDermott and McHugh made CAC-All Conference. Additionally. McHugh was named to the Mason-Dixon All-Conference team.

The team's success was owed largely to its strong pack: six runners who finished within 90 seconds of each other. The group, comprised of senior Carissa Tudryn, juniors Nicky Bhalla and Sarah Vagley, sophomores Donna Flanagan and Liz Pfifer, and freshman Jennifer Alvarez, earned victories at the York Invitational and CUA home meet. The season ended at the NCAARegional meet in Sewanee. Tenn.. where the Femme Cards placed 8th out of 16 teams. Coach Joe Fisher explained. "With the loss of an outstanding veteran runner (current Asst. Coach Anne Connolly), the team did well this season. The returning members improved to make up the difference. The team made up a lot of ground this year." While hard workouts and long miles build camaraderie among any team, this group, along with contributing seniors Gayle Ray and Lindsay Kragle, built an uncommon friendship. Tudryn summed it up, "Femme Cardinal unity is shown through our chocolate eating, s'more making. Cracker Barrel dinners, courageous behavior, song singing, long van rides, a coach who always squares us away, amusing Friday nights, and our running passion."

DOH.I The Men's Soccer season was one to remember: new heights were reached, old foes defeated, and a promising future showed itself As Coach Scott Racek said, "The sign of a good team is that they always find a way to win the close ones." The team garnered a record of 11-7 (3-4 CAC). with two winnable games being cancelled, thus hindering a record-breaking season. The 11-win mark tied the all-time wins record for a single season. set in 1990. Four seniors anchored the team: Anthony Caprio. Frank Callochia. Captain Dino Bulauitan. and Captain Chris Wilson. Wilson was also the team's leader in assists and points with .5 goals. 9 assists, and 19 points. Bulauitan was named to first team All-CAC and served as the morale leader for the young team. Early in the season, the team beat Washington & Lee and knocked off regionally-ranked St. Mary's, both firsts under the 3rd-year Coach Racek. These games were the critical points that set the pace for a memorable season. Wilson summed up the season perfectly. "We had flashes of brilliance and other times of inconsistent play.

I did not know anyone; the coach was my only advocate in a sea effaces. That day was the most grueling experience of my life, but I made it through with some new friends and a beaten body. Since then, the team has been a source of my happiness here at CUA. I have much respect for athletes who balance a life of sports and academics simply because they are passionate about their sport. The women's soccer team is one of many teams that has acquired a dedicated bunch who care about the game, their teammates and their work. I drew strength from the memories of the soccer games with a team of fantastic women!

The organizations also allowed for an excuse to close the books and do a little socializing. CUA offered its students many opportunities to show their school spirit in clubs and organizations ranging from academic clubs to media organizations to service organizations. Student leaders used the medium of organizations to express the views and interests of their fellow club members. Student involvement in the University and the Brookland community is what continued to make CUA the best place it could possibly be. story by Michelle Perry Left; Is the canoe going to sink or will it float' No one wanted to see it sink so everyone took great care in making sure that all of the measurments were very precise.

This was the motto for the Cardinal Yearbook staff this past year. The staff was the largest to enter the office in the past few years and showed themselves to be extremely hard working. Everyone attended weekly meetings and always had c something to keep themselves busy. Since the staff had no official photographers, each editor was responsible for either taking their own pictures or finding a friend to do it for them. There were ven/ few pages where pictures were lacking, which was a great improvement over past a years. The editors cracked down from day one and stayed on top of their respective sections. Whether it was making phone calls or sending emails, the staff consistently got things done. Y As a result of an enthusiastic staff, the yearbook had the drive and the man power to offer the 1999-2000 book to the entire undergraduate population. This was the first year that underclassmen headshots were placed in the book and as a result, over 250 copies were sold. d The number of senior parent ads also increased significantly. After the past was explored, the present lived and the future pondered here at CUA, the I Cardinal Yearbook staff was able to put together a wonderful, on time, set of memories for the students of the University. -story by S.

Whether living it up at Homecoming events and Spring Fling or dancing the night away with friends at the Centennial Village Cruise or Mistletoe Ball, students had the chance to kick back with friends and enjoy the moment. Students found other ways to show their enthusiasm as well. They pitched in to help on campus and in the surrounding area through community service and events such as Communiveristy Day. Many took advantage of the programs offered by Campus Ministry to reflect upon their faith and their lives as they moved ahead into the future.

'The skits that the OA's did were cute and it was neat to see everyone in the same place, but by the time we got to the gym, I was exhausted from all the unpacking and other activities of the day," Jennifer Alvarez said. Although tiring. Orientation was also an opportunity to meet floor mates and classmates as new students attended workshops and socials to familiarize themselves with the campus and each other. "I thought the square dance was going to be really cheesy, but it turned out to be a lot of fun and a great way to see new people," Sammy Santos said.

It was a profound experience for the participants. The retreat team consisted of upper classmen and Campus Ministry priests Fr. Bob and Fr. Mike. A few highlights of the retreat were the icebreakers used to become acquainted with one another: a restaurant style dinner served by the team dressed as waiters and waitresses, adoration, confession and a bonfire sing-a-long. The retreat was a time of personal reflection as well as high-spirited fun among new-found friends. Retreatants were able to strengthen their relationship with God, others and even themselves. Erika Cunis, one of the freshman participants, felt that "It was an eye opening experience to see God In my fellow classmates. It set the stage for the next three years." story by Jessica Wozinsky & Allison DIMenna Right: Leader of the pack: freshmen gather around their team leader Lori Agnew during a break from the weekends activities for a picture.

To make this time of reflection and relaxation even more fulfilling, the fifty participants were broken down into small groups of seven or eight, facilitating discussions of the faith sharing testimonies given by the team leaders. Each talk and discussion not only opened the hearts and minds of participants, but it allowed each student to evaluate his own life as a Christian. Each participant helped to make it a successful and wonderful expehence for all. Jerry Reynolds said, "I am glad that I went on the Antioch Retreat. It gave me a chance to reflect upon my faith and how I share it with others. God was truly present with all of us that fall weekend." story by Jerry Reynolds Right: It's so hard to say good-bye.

The guys showed up for the buses in front of McMahon looking a little more spiffed up than usual while the girls were dressed to kill. As we boarded the buses, the air was electrified with excitement. With much anticipation, we arrived at the docks ready for a spectacular evening of friends, fun and dancing. After being frisked and taking group photos, we boarded "The Spirit of the Potomac" and set out on our two and a half hour journey down the river. The bottom deck was alive with people dancing to the Top 40's while the middle deck was crammed with people rockin' and rollin' to the sounds of the 70's and 80's. When fresh air and good conversation were wanted, we moved up to the top deck. As we drifted back to the dock, the clear view of the D.C. skyline was a beautiful ending to a magical evening. - story by the Lovely Ladies of Camalier Suite 301.'312 Right: Freshmen Kierstan Donecker, Andrew Hartnett. and Sarah Yaklic are all smiles as they enjoy their first semiformal at Catholic, New and old students mingled with each other and, as the night went on, got to know each other a little better Below: Some fresh air helps to reinvigorate these students as they gather on the top deck between dances.

These were the signs of the pudding slide, one of the many events held during CUA's 1999 Homecoming week. Unlike years past, 1999's Homecoming was planned by a committee under USG. The committee, headed by junior Emily Egan and sophomore Lynne Dardis, consisted of about ten members, plus two from RHA and one from Program Board. They started in September and continued working until the end of October, planning events they hoped students would be interested in. To increase student turnout, they decided to make the week into a spint contest. Each class sponsored an event, and attendence was counted in order to reward the class with the most spirit. The week also included a talent exposition of the homecoming candidates and a powder puff football game. And of course, who could forget the fabulous football game that, according to football player James Parker, "was a tremendous win for the football team" with a final score of 45 to 7. - story by Lynne Dardis 124 Above: "Go Cardinals!"

As usual, the buses departed from McMahon Hall, full not only of students but also of enthusiasm. Held at the Carbarn in Georgetown, it was a magical experience for those who attended. As the couples entered the Carbarn, they were greeted by a magnificent view of the Potomac River. The lighting was elegant and the balcony added to the ambiance. Many couples took advantage of the balcony for a romantic walk. With plenty to eat, the students were able to keep up their strength as they danced the night away to the sounds of DJ Jim Frahley He played a wide variety of music and students danced until midnight. As the night drew to a close, students boarded the buses and talked all the way home about all the fun that they had. -story by Sarah Mowatt Will Ellis and date pause for a picture before heading out to the dance floor.

There was an impressive growth in student involvement in Campus Ministry functions. Among the reasons for the increase were new staff members, Therese Bermphol and Fr. Mike Englert, who added to the efforts of the second year University Chaplain, Fr. Bob Schlageter. Two nights a week, one could walk into Caldwell Chapel and find it full of students at Eucharistic Adoration. Community service also flourished with more homeless food runs and daily trips to the Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home. D.C. Reads had over 100 students tutoring grammar school children and teaching them to read. Campus Ministry's new program, "Friday Nights with The House." an alternative Friday night activity for students looking for healthy social outlets, was a tremendous success. Lori Agnew, Bob Bamsey, Christine Driessen. Tim McGovern, John Riehman, J.P. Winchester, Ann Wolfgram, the student ministers, organized and planned the weekly gatherings. Events included trips to Baltimore, sporting events, roller skating, ice skating, bowling, a scavenger hunt on the National Mall, and a mystery game of "Clue" at the House. -Story by Tim McGovern 130 Above: Tis the Season, , ,.

Through Campus Ministry and a number of other campus groups, students were offered the opportunity to go out into the community and use their skills to help those around them. Many events had CUA student participation. Some happened on a local scale. A day was organized to clean up the surrounding Brookland community Centennial Village held the CV Grand Prix in order to raise money for Children's Hospital. On a broader scale, students participated In national events such as the Right to Life March and the AIDS Walk. Habitat for Humanity was also big on campus. A weekend retreat In the fall went to help build houses In West Virginia, and over spring break several Habitat trips headed south to lend a hand. Also, several community organizations received help. Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Ann's Infants Home and D.C. Reads were just a few of the places that benefitted from student service. But the organizations weren't the only ones that benefitted. Students who participated also gained. New friends were made along with the discovery that volunteering time to help others can bring joy to the volunteers as well. -story by Angel Compton 132 Above: "On your mark..."

As people made their way to the dance floor, the James Bond theme song set the mood for this year's theme of "Shaken, Not Stirred." The Islamic motif of the Almas Temple was complimented beautifully by the James Bond appropriate decorations. Giant Martini glasses were centerpieces that gathered much interest as each had a live goldfish swimming in It. The night was a hit for over 500 students with delicious hors d'oeuvres, a fabulous mix of music and a beautiful,warm April night as icing on the cake. The dancing was not the only entertainment of the night. Some escaped to the balcony to enjoy conversation as they watched the party from above.

With the threat of finals looming just around the corner, there were plenty of activities on campus to liven spirits and prolong studying just a little longer. Of the annual Spring Fling events, there were returning favorites such as the Extreme Air. held on St, Thomas Hill, and hypnotist Tom Deluca. Also returning after an appearance in 1998 was Barry Williams who played Greg on the Brady Bunch TV series. In addition to some concerts held during the week, two comics from VH1 and Comedy Central came to entertain. Also held during the same week was Founder's Week fViany CUA alumni returned to participate in campus events. The big excitement of the week came in the form of two ground breakings. The first ceremony was held to announce the start of new resident halls near Regan and Ryan. The second was to celebrate the much anticipated Pryzbia Center. The new student union building is scheduled to open in 2002. Another happening was the first of the soon to be annual Festival of the Religious Arts. The festival opened on April 13th with a performance of Everyman on the Hartke stage. The following three days were filled with many original works that took place on stages on the mall next to the Basilica. Plays, musical numbers, dances and puppet shows were performed, along with films, discussions and other exhibits that took place in locations across campus. - story by Angel Compton 136 Above Left: This years Spring Fling was kicked off with a barbecue and Information tables manned by the Greek organizations on campus.

The seniors are important as leaders and examples, but without the underclassmen's unique personality, the undergraduate body would not be the same. The freshmen provided an abundance of enthusiasm as they looked forward to the many new experiences that college had to offer. Their vibrant new faces brightened classes, dining halls, sporting events, organization meetings, and around every corner. The sophomores settled back into their own nitches. Comfortable with tentatively decided majors and rooms with friends, they were prepared to take on new responsiblities. Junior year did not come so easily. Faced with the hardest classes they had yet to encounter, they struggled between buckling down to hard work and suffering from premature senior-idis.

Czyz, Jr, '02 It seems like yesterday when I first set toot on my soon to be "home away from home." My first impression of Catholic Lynne Dardis'02 University was one that was filled with awe. I was overwhelmed Billie Davis'03 by the beauty of the old stones ot Caldwell and McMahon Halls, the magnificence of the Basilica, and the friendliness of the Orientation advisers. I remember thinking how different this experience would be from high school, and indeed it was ... for now I was free. Through the many interesting Icebreakers, I developed many friendships that I hoped would prevail over distance and time. I knew I was going to have Andrew Davy'03 the time of my life. Maureen Daw'01 While many of the upperclassmen were somewhat happy to be back and see all their friends, I, still an arrogant high school senior, was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect. It took sometime to get used to but after the first week of classes and a few Masses with Fr. Bob, I began to feel right at home. It is always said that "The first impression is a lasting Michelle DeCesare impression." Catholic University surpassed my expectations.

No matter what you call them, they seemed to be a big hit and a welcome addition to campus. Each trailer consisted of a living area, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a full bathroom and were fully furnished with rugs, heat and air conditioning! Suddenly life for the upperclassmen became a whole lot brighter! The advantages of living in Curley Court were much more than anyone could have asked for. First, there was no need for wearing shower shoes because you were sharing a clean shower with your friends. In fact, just knowing that you weren't sharing a bathroom was yet another advantage. Another huge plus was having your own spacious kitchen in which you could create your own culinary specialties. Coming home from classes became a time to look forward to, when you knew that you would be returning to that cozy home away from home. It was a peaceful and relaxing thought to know that once home in the trailers, there would be privacy and no unnecessary hassle from HA's or RA's, no shrieking students running up and down your hall or thumping on your ceiling, and sleep free of those 2 or 3 a,m. fire alarms. For those of us without cars and furniture, Curley Court went above and beyond our expectations. It allowed us to live in an apartment environment without moving off campus, story by Lauryn Smlthi '01 Kristin Green'01 Caitlin Gremminger '02 Stephanie Griffin'03 Bridget Guetle'03 MahletHaddis'03 Matthew Hanka'02 TrinaHanline'03 Elizabeth Harris'03 Mike Herring'03 Patrick High '03 ChnsHill'03 Kathleen Hinders'01 Ann Marie Hines'02 AlmaCheniseHinton '03 Naomi Hollimon'03 Zaneta Hopkins'02 Stephanie Hummel '02 Terence Hyland '03 Elizabeth lntza'01 Mike Izzo '03 Charles Jacobs'01 Chris Jacobs'02 Ashik Jafferali '01 Jennifer Jaskel '02 Slattery Johnson'03 Alissa Kachinski '03 Alyssa Kane '03 Gerald Kavinski '03 Meetra Kazemian '03 Stephen Keane'03 Peggy Kearns'01 Paul Keats'03 Dennis Keohane'03 Joseph Kider'03 145 Amanda Kinnon 01 Mary Kirsf03 Brian Kohler'01 Taeya Konishr03 Heidi Krause'03 Laura Kutner'03 Anya Lagasse 02 Peter Langevin'03 Naphtali Cummings Larsen'02 KateLaVine'03 Chester Lech'03 Esther Lee'03 Orysia Lonchyna'01 Nicholas Lowe'02 William Lucina'02 ^j1 Charles Luckett'03 Matthew Ludwinski .

We managed to complete the book on time. There may be a few mistakes but for the most part it is pretty good. Each and every person on the staff worked hard and contributed their all. The yearbook would not have come out on time if it was not for each one you.

Thank you to the seniors and underclassmen for having your pictures taken and making this the best yearbook that it could possibly be. Without the CUA communit}^, the book would not exist. Until next year, Sarah Mowatt Editor in Chief -'^- . ^J, :!^'~>t •
