Being a Jesuit University, the University of San Francisco has always been known for its dedication to the community of the city of San Francisco, especially to its less fortunate residents, in addition to its Jesuit tradition of academic excel­ lence. This can be seen everyday, particularly while walking past the office of the University Ministry, which is one of many organizations on campus dedicated to the community. Such community service retreats help to epitomize the very concept of Jesuit education, which includes education through service to those in need, as well as education in the classroom. These connections that we establish with those who we help are those bridges that will enrich our experiences, benevolent as well as academic.

For survival, World Fare was located on the second floor serving an interesting array of foods, Crossroads was just downstairs with the best variety of teas and past­ ries, and the newly added La Salsa restaurant had the extra spice world fare could not offer to some. If midterms were approaching, Purina Lounge was a great place to get away from the noise and hit the books. For entertainment, the Fog n' Grog had music and TV, and for information, the ASUSF offices were upstairs and the staff able to help with any problem they could. Help was also available in the UC Center, witht he graphics cen­ ter on the first floor, willing to design posters, fly­ ers etc, for whatever cause a student needed. The UC center, although not the main building for classes and learning, became the heart of the unviersity, the place you go for anything, whether it be relaxation, fun, food or just to be where the action is.

Living at school may not sound too appealing to most people, but if you ask the residents of USF they'll tell you it's a blast! Whether your lifestyle requires a lot of socializing and 24-7 interaction, or some quiet time away from the busy city and all life's dramas, the University of San Francisco is sure to accommodate your lifestyle's needs. Occasionally a pizza, ice cream, or breakfast social can be found in the residence halls organized by Residence Hall Council or resident advisors. These fun filled events allow students to come together for free food and lots of fun. This year in addition to the dorm halls and university apartments, USF now has the beautiful Loyola Village studios and townhouse style apartments to call home. Brand new building in vibrant colors of red and yellow, fully furnished with a refrigerator, stovetop, oven, beds, sofas, and a desk, allow students to grasp a new feeling of independence which en­ hances their learning experience at USF. Located behind Lone Mountain, Loyola Village is convenient and only takes a few minutes to walk to main campus. The USF shuttle makes daily rounds to pick up students who wish to hop on, when those lazy days roll in. At Loyola, residents can choose to live in a townhouse, studio style, or apartment style room. The number of roommates is another option to choose from when living in the village. Life at Loyola tends to be a little more quiet from other resident halls. The residents don't interact as much, but neighbors try to make living together pleasant by introducing them­ selves. Dorm rules still apply to residents in Loyola Village and there are two RA per building to enforce them. Random checks are performed monthly to ensure all rules are being followed. Drinking is prohibited if under the age of twenty-one, and the maximum amount of people in a room at one time is another concern administration has taken into consideration. Other than the higher rental rates, students prefer to live at the Village be­ cause of the convenient location, the brand new equip­ ment, and the independent lifestyle Loyola Village provides. , M,"f|

"Where's my script?" "Line!" "Go up­ stage!" Imagine directors instructing aspiring actors and actresses, piano scales playing loudly, and stage crew members bustling around carrying sets and props. The College Players of USF are working diligently into their 139"' season. College Players performed their first production in 1863; making them the oldest performing theatrical group west of the Mis­ sissippi, and second oldest in the country. Back then, University of San Francisco was known as St. Ignatius College, located on Van Ness and Hayes. In 1928, James J. Gill, nown as "Boss Gill" stepped in and took direction of the Players for the next 22 years. Stuart G. Bennet, a friend and director, sustained the College Players for ten years after "Boss Gill's" unex­ pected death, before passing on the group to John C. Collins. After Collin's 18 year reign, Father Demspey's leadership escorted the Col­ lege Players to be what it is today-- a student- financed and student-governed theatrical or­ ganization that is managed by a board of fac­ ulty members and students. the Players' mission statement— to offer training and guidance in the skill of performance, technical theatre, and production management. Frederik Jacobs, The members of the ASUSF College a junior in Business Administration, heads the board as the executive producer. Players' board were elected to produce and "I'm honored to be the executive producer. I hope to uphold theatre plan two main stage shows and at least two and other performing arts to students that aren't participants, and also get them second-stage shows. The board also upholds interested in something they haven't done before," Frederik states. ASUSF College Players kicked off their season with "Working". The mu­ sical is based upon a best-seller, containing interviews with everyday average members of the American work force. The author, Studs Terkel, has his char­ acters portray the idea that working is what society is comfortable and familiar with. Furthermore, his characters acknowledge their doubts, dreams, and hopes. "It offers a lot to everybody. It's a common man story; it's every man. 11 am very fond of the show and very glad to be doing it again. It's not your typi-l cal musical," states co-director David Pangaro. College Players' production of "Working" is only the start of the year with more to come in the future.

The USF" Foghorn strives to continue into its 95th year of production with a new staff, a new advisor, and a revised constitution. Vandalism, tech­ nical difficulties, and budget cuts brought the stu­ dent run newspaper to a stand still last year. How­ ever, the new staff of Foghorn, led by editor-in-chief Victoria Leon Guerrero and faculty advisor Teresa Moore, a journalism instructor in the Media Stud­ ies Department, are determine to rebuild the under­ graduate newspaper's former reputation. Gabriel Hernandez, a junior in the Joint Degree Program with the California College of Arts and Crafts, serves as the production director of the Foghorn. One of his tasks for this year was to alter the Foghorn's design to encompass a sense of pro­ fessionalism. Along with a new structure, a new flag, or logo, was chosen to adorn the front page of each issue; an image of St. Ignatius Church and the Golden Gate Bridge represent the institution and the city of San Francisco. The new Foghorn is committed to succeed in all their endeavors. Despite unresolved issues with internal matters, the Foghorn has always been an outlet for free expressions on the campus. Andrea Hill, the features editor says, "Working for the Fog­ horn is more than just getting experience in jour­ nalism; It's about learning how to write well, and more importantly, learning to work with other people to put out something you really love. When I pick up an issue of the Foghorn, and see my name on it, I feel a kind of pride I can't describe. It makes me feel like I'm really using my time in college well... I'm doing more than sitting around, studying, wait­ ing to graduate and get a job."

The university part of their college has enriching programs with hundreds of USF's sister school across the education. world. These fortunate students come back to the classroom after expe­ riencing a new life in another country, with not only a better understand­ ing of international culture but new enlightened perspectives relating to their academic major. Year after year the University sends off dozens of students to Japan, Spain, England, Hungary, Mexico, and many oth­ ers. The learning and travel opportunities don't stop just with Study Abroad programs; several professors take it upon themselves to lead a group often to fifteen students around a country they have great knowl­ edge in. These study tours are meant to educate students about culture, economic issues, business conditions, and to expose students to the beau­ tiful scenery that the countries offer. The Study Abroad program at USF is dedicated to the develop­ ment of high quality academic progress throughout the world, and to the creation of an educational environment in which culturally diverse Americans can enhance their social and intellectual awareness by explor­ ing international cultures. Many Students say their study abroad expe­ rience was the most memorable, exciting, and life changing part of their college education.

We plant seeds that will one day grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further de­ velopment. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an op­ portunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the mas­ ter builder and the worker."

Many students at the University of San Francisco seem to think weekends begin on Thursdays. Well for some, that idea runs true because they have chosen a schedule that does away with classes on Fridays. Hav­ ing fun is the main premise for many USF students. After a week of classes, on questions: "where to go?". Luckily we live in "The City by the Bay"--one of the most diverse and lively cities in the world. There is always something to do, somewhere to go. The prob­ lem now only being so little time to do it all in one night. But there's always Friday, Saturday, and Sun­ day. The City awaits your company, and probably your money, too. Here, one can experience fine dining at a classy restaurant, see a movie at the futuristic Metreon, go dancing at one of the many clubs, sight see the historic landmarks of the city, shop at several malls, party, and so much more. Popular hot spots for students range from a block away to the East Bay. If you live on campus and feel like a short walk, just head on to Geary Blvd. for some great food and the ever so popular Irish pubs: Patty O'Sheas, Ireland 32's and Abbey Tavern. Now be safe kids. Others may feel the need to venture out. So hail a cab and head to an Italian restaurant in North Beach or to a bar in the Marina. No cash?

Student Life: Thursday Nights OCTOe>£^ OUTft-£ACf4 Park to the People. Do Your Peace

Community Action, the new de­ partment formed out of University Ministry, decided to get down and dirty in Golden Gate Park for the 6th Annual October Outreach project. On the morning of Saturday Octo­ ber 19, almost 100 students and fac­ ulty gathered in the University of Ministry Lounge to register and get informed. They split up into three separate groups to be designated at: Stow Lake, Spreckels Lake, and iMiMM/m Lloyd Lake. Before everyone got to work, USF President Father Stephen Privett, S.J. was invited to say a little prayer and opted to recite a poem that set the tone for the day. Carlos

Menchaca, the student head of Com­ munity Action, described the event as more thatn just pulling weeds and ivy. It was more than pruning and maintaining. He noted that years ago Golden Gate Park once had 140 gardeners. Now only 40 remain to upkeep the whole Park. So they rely on us (the volunteers). Then the gar­ deners can concentrate on special­ ized gardening and important projects. Menchaca noted the impor­ tance of being present in the mo­ ment. He called it to be "very zen."

Student Life: October Outreach Student Life ^4- MULTICULTURAL- A Colorful Campus

It's no surprise to many University of San Francisco students that the Bay Area is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States, maybe even the world. Since the early days of the Gold Rush has San Francisco been home to numerous different ethnic groups; being a gate to the West has it brought many to our shores. To this day there are still new groups being represented every year. Just ride the MUNI one day and discover a whole new world. The old woman sitting next to you is reading a paper in Russian. The child across the way is speaking in Chinese. Everyone is from a different place and has a different story. Walk along Geary, Clement, or Mar­ ket and see the different array of foods that they have to offer: Sushi, Kalua pork, mixed pearl drinks, Pad Thai, etc. San Francisco celebrates our life with festivals of music, foods, and dances. Attend an event and learn something new or share something about yourself. Our customs, religions, languages affect other people's experiences. Simply by living in this environment makes us more aware of what and who are around us. We are exposed to different races, cultures, beliefs. You chose the University of San Francisco for a rea­ son. Its diversity was a major factor if you knew it or not. By accepting our similarities and differences can we live in a more aware and respectful world. It's a community that I am proud to be a part of and you should be too.

These clubs help bring members closer together while shar­ ing their beliefs and customs with others. Some of these clubs include: African Alliance, Black Student Union, Carnales Unidos, Circulo, FACES (Freedom Alliance for Culturally Em­ powered Students), Hong Kong Student Asso­ ciation, Indonesian Union, Japan Club, Latinas Unidos, Mariana Islander Student Association, Muslim Student Association, and the Vietnam­ ese Student Association. There is also the Multicultural and Inter­ national Student Services Center which helps international students adjust to college life as well as sharing their traditions and culture with the rest of the USF community. They also or­ ganize the annual Culturescape and interna­ tional film festivals. Culturescape is not the only international event throughout the year. The Hawaii club Hui O' Hawaii puts on a Luau with hula dancing and food and Kasamahan, the Filipino-based organization, holds a Barrio type show with cultural dances, skits, and food. These kind of organizations offer students a chance to get involved and learn something new about themselves and their classmates.

I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every way, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. -"My Way" by Frank Sinatra

He had the ability to walk into a room and suddenly the day would be brighter.

He would flash his radiant smile and make everything seem fine. He never let stress get to h im and maybe that rubbed off onto others. No one could ever stay upset at him. He always pushed the limits in everything he did. He lived for every moment in life. — author unknown

John-Jack Desire of the Kings (and charming too) by Yakub Tufail On a fateful Monday night of the 26th of August, four days after my birthday, I was driving home with my sister and a friend from the Lenny Kravitz concert at the Shoreline. I was still jet lagged having only returned from Malaysia two days ago. Nearing my house, I somehow stupidly fell asleep as I entered the red light. To make matters worse, both of my passengers were sound asleep as well. Fortunately, I suddenly woke up just before I breached the pedestrian crossing line. It was definitely a fluke, but I must say that I felt t something or someone wake me up right before the light. I am not normally superstitious, but I now believe that somehow JJ came over to that intersection to tell me good-bye and his courtesy has probably saved my life as well. The Friday of that week, I received a phone call saying that JJ had passed away. I was heartbroken. I only knew him for six measly months. Other people have had the luck of knowing him for infinitely more than that. Because of that, I should say life sucks and it's not fair that I didn't get to know him since childhood or have had as much fun with him like his close friends. The reason I say this is because losing someone who is as great as JJ really gets to me. I know that if he only was given more time in this world, we would have had so much more fun together. Let me tell you one thing: Takahashi's Comparative International uL « Business was the most fun class I have ever been in. As some of you might have guessed, that was when I met JJ. He managed to make the most boring ordeal seem like a ride on a space shuttle. Going to the Boys and Girls Club at the Mission district for Takahashi's Service Project was a real job, but having JJ around took the pain out of that requirement. He was just such a little kid who managed to find everything so exciting. And he was so contagious. Now, that's what I call charm. Other than that, we just did little things such as hanging out at my place or he would call to tell me his new loft was ready. "Dua tiga, kucing berlari, Ok, I shouldn't have said that it sucks knowing him for too short a time. Two, three cats a'running Deep down I know that I am grateful having known him no matter how brief. Mana nak sama si kucing belang.

A Commitment to Life Even when his body was struggling to survive, Rob­ ert Makus never stopped living. The associate pro­ fessor of philosophy followed a packed schedule, hosting philosophical teas with students, where tea and cookies went along with an informal discussion of current events. In the last few months, one student at the teas said he noticed Makus rubbing his legs as if to ease them but Makus never spoke about pain. His classes continued without letup, although his dialysis appointments for kidney failure had to be increased to five times a week. If colleagues knew about his weak heart, they did not see any change in his thoughtfulness during department meetings or in his warm and personal manner.

"He was a really courageous guy—the doctor said (his condition) floors some people but he treated it as a mere inconvenience," said Thomas Cavanaugh, as­ sociate professor of philosophy. "He gave above and beyond a full load of service, teaching, and research." From USF Magazine

The season went very well however, with Tri-Captains Forward Josh Hansen, and Midfielders Gabe Sturm and Ben Stuart dominating the way to wins onfield and showing great lead­ ership off the field as well. The team racked up 10 wins, 8 losses and 1 tie during regu­ lar season, and dominated in the West Coast Conference tournament with recog­ nition going to five players. All the players were a crucial part of unity and wins during the season. What made the team work so well together was the experienced juniors that came together, with the group of newcomers to work cohesively for the wins. The whole roster of the men's soccer team set up an­ other impressive, if not more explosive, season of hardwork, great wins, and even greater team­ work, attributes that will surely be seen within seasons to come.

The girls have fun and slap hands for good luck before the game starts. The Keyword for the girl's 2002 soccer season was teamwork. This year, more than ever, the girls had come together to be a hard-working, cohesive team, with much of the credit for this new found unity going to the head coach Pamela Kalinoiski, who, in just her second year of coach­ ing, had brought the girls back to prominence. The girls' end of season statistics were 9-11-1, proving they had the capabilities of improve­ ment and a dominating season in the works for next year. Many expectations of the season were met head on, with more wins, and especially more togetherness. Their winning season in turn was attributed to the experienced veterans of the team making an offensive threat coupled with great goalkeepers and a defensive line that worked as a real unit. All in all, the girls managed to come together, pull some wins under their belt, and most impoertantly, have fun while doing it.

Although their overall record was not quite ball from an opponent. as good as hoped prior to the season, the girls had some great moments and excellent games that showed just how deadly they can be on the court, and how much of a threat they pose to the West Coast Conference competition. Among their wins, they swept Portland and Gonzaga 3 games to 1, with leading kills by Jun­ ior outside hitter Brittanie Buddinger and Freshman outside hitter Jackie Cowen. Also among great wins was the 3 to 1 defeat of San Jose State, and a sweep against Kent State. The girls managed to pull through the season not only winning games, but having fun together, on and off the court. Each member contributed to the team in their unique way, where the season was not based on wins and losses, but was a time to focus on teamwork and playing as a unit.

With new recruits and old talent, the 2002-2003 Men's basketball team had an amazing season. A loss of Hondre Brewer to graduation did not stifle the team's great capacity to dominate in the West Coast Conference. Among many other wins, they defeated St. Mary's in a tight game of 68-67, a 73- 59 domination over Sonoma State, and 82-71 over Southern University. This year's returning starters were Senior Shamell Stallworth, who had one of the leading averages in three-point shooting on the team, Senior Darrell Tucker, who was the only West Coast Conference player with a double-double average, and had an average of 8.4 rebounds a game. John Cox also reappeared as guard to further help the team out. Putting some new flavor into the old mix seemed to do the trick for the men, with additions of Senegal native, center Mamadou Cisse, who made a big defensive contribution, and the new­ comer from Oklahoma, Brandon Quenn, who executed a great ability to score inside or from mid-range on the court. The team finished strong, with a good record, and even bet­ ter teamwork. The skills the Dons have kept on the team and newly acquired will help further their abilities and winning seasons for years to come.

To Ecuador. With Love: USF Tennis Player Michelle Duncan Spent Summer Teaching in South American

By: Virginie Boone, USF Sports Information Michelle Duncan had a monkey on her back. Literally...all the way to the school where she taught English. Monkeys are not uncommon in Ecuador and wild or not so wild; they like to hitch rides with strangers. Duncan, at 5-9 and blonde, couldn't help but stand out as a stranger in Bah'a de Caraquez, a town of 20,000 nine hours by bus from Ecuador's capital, Quito where she chose to spend her summer. There, she taught English, made friends, traveled the countryside and tried to blend in with the wildlife. A member of the Dons' tennis team and a major in International Busi­ ness, Duncan's adventurous spirit doesn't surprise anyone who knows her. "She's unpredictable...interesting," says friend and fellow student- athlete Alfred Bedrossian, a member of the Dons' soccer team. The particular adventure was prompted by Duncan's desire to learn Span­ ish. Just before the end of USF school year last year, she researched dillc nt places to go in South American and haphazardly came up with Beate Bernhoft, Stephanie Chang,Courtney Ecuador. "I flew into Quito second-guessing myself and whether this Chung, Caysea Dawson, Michelle Duncan, was the right thing to do," she says. Gabriela Ruiz, Alyssa Samuel, Sarah Sansom, I had to change my entire lifestyle," she continues. "I lived with a fam­ Carey Savage, Anna Skogerboe ily in the conditions were primitive and the weather very humid." In the absence of structure, Duncan says she simply taught her school chil­ dren what she thought they needed to know, which included bouts of physical education. Soon, word spread and hapless USF heroine was also enlisted to teach English in a nearby high school every afternoon. This was a bit more challenging," Duncan offers. "I have so much more respect for teachers now." In deed, having to deal with 130 students spanning six grade levels would be enough to send any reasonable per­ son around the bend. Having to teach this many people a foreign lan­ guage, using a foreign language is brave. This strong competitor shows her determination, not only on the court side, but also as an academic traveler.

Women's Tennis Sport Fans Those Who Make The ©ame

Three days until the big homecoming game aga inst Pepperdine and the men's basketball team was pumped. All the students around campus were filled with angst and excitement. Everyone was planning on attending the game and all the other events and festivities planned for the weekend which included a special guest appearance by Pharcyde, that played in Koret, a family weekend Barbeque, a spirit filled pep rally, and of course the homecoming games. There wasn't a single student who wasn't excited about the big weekend. When the big weekend finally came, there was an overwhelming large turnout in the stands. The War Memorial Gym was so packed, that finding a seat close to the court became difficult. During halftime, the cheerleaders were not the only loudest students, but the Spirit Squad combined and all the fans that came to watch the game. The contest between sections in the stadium, was difficult to determine because there was so much excitement in the stadium. The Dons successfully won against Pepperdine, and relief was in the air. After all the fans left the stadium there was a Pharcyde concert to attend. The fans events didn't end just there, every weekend from there on out of February were weekend filled games for the hungry fans to attend. Rifle

The USF Men's and Women's Riflefy team in the Pacific Rocky Mountain Collegiate Shooting League consists of ten shooters and a head coach with one assistant. The Rifle team's fondest memory over the past year was their wonderful op­ portunity to travel to Germany during the summer of 2002 and compete against club teams throughout the country. The ex­ perience provided a unique opportunity for the San Francisco shooters to grow as a team and as world citizens while travel­ ing. International friendships were made and everlasting bonds remain as the USF Riflery team hosts their new made German friends next summer for a friendly visit and fun com­ petition. Being on the team isn't as easy as it appears; in order for the shooters to be ready for their 1-2 competitions a month, they must be in top shape and have many hours of practice. Each shooter has a rigorous schedule of having practice three times a week, six hours a day. Practice consists of wearing full protective gear which is made of extremely hot and heavy leather. The purpose of the thick leather gear is to insulate the heart from beating to make the shooter more stable. On cam­ pus, ranges are minimized to the Memorial Gym and occasion­ ally Lake Merced's shooting range. Not only do the team shoot­ ers have an intensive practice schedule, but they are also re­ sponsible for team fundraisers. Each member is responsible for operating and serving at the Hacienda Concessions stand dur­ ing the entire Basketball season.

Gabe Ryan Sturm is one of the soccer team's most prized Co- captain. He is currently a Junior and a History major at USF. He has been part of the soccer team since he was a freshman, which is only a fraction of his 19 years of practice. Gabe's main reason for playing soccer at USF is because not only does he have an incred­ ible passion for the sport, but he was offered an athletic scholar­ ship. Sturm's proud parents are Joel and Cici. He also has a brother named Andrew. He graduated from St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, Arizona in the year 2000. He played on his high school team and the Santos Club Team in Arizona. He took second place in Arizona. USF was very lucky to recruit such a talented player on their soccer team. When Gabe was a Freshman, he was the Freshman Player of the Year. He had the opportunity to play with a national soccer team for one week in Chula Vista. He says he learned a lot about becoming a better player from this experience. Gabe and his teamates have very solid relationships. They enjoy playing soccer together and hanging out before and after practice. The players absolutely love competition but despise losing. In the future, Gabe Sturm hopes to take his skills overseas somewhere in Europe, maybe Portugal. He has always dreamed of participating in the Olympics and will continue working hard to­ wards his goal.

When cats get scared and scurry up a tree, can we count on our neighbor to get the cat down? No, this would be the unusual and frantic life of the firefighter. First of all, to put out fires is one thing. However, to put out fires in a matter of minutes requires precision and accuracy on a much grander scale. These are the people that solve prob­ lems with water. (As a public service announcement, the Fire Department of San Francisco kindly asks you to move vehicles improperly parked next to fire hydrants away from them as soon as possible.) Other than that, the fire fighters have a lot scenario for instance; if the EMP can't make it to a at stake in such a small period of time.

To elaborate, Hazardous Materials are also taken care of- by the Fire Department. Approxi­ mately 61 people on the Fire Department staff are certified specialists!

Ghosts inhabiting the many residence halls and campus buildings of USF is a commonly spread story, but many have often wondered where the real truth lies. Some people claim that various students over the one- hundred and forty-three year history of the University have taken their lives in the residence halls, or that vari­ ous priests and other clergy members still haunt their favored stomping grounds around the campus. While none of these stories can be fully confirmed, what can Above: The city and St. be is that the University was once a giant cemetery. Ignatius Church. Located between Turk, Fulton, Parker and Left: Lone Mountain, Masonic Streets, the Masonic Cemetery held thirty acres formerly a home to dozens of dead bodies is not home of land.

If that's not enough, the Calvary and Laurel Hill Cemeteries were located only a few blocks north and to the west and east of campus, both collectively holding around ninety- thousand bodies. Sources say that all these bodies were moved to their new respective grounds, leaving nothing behind. However, various faculty here at USF have claimed that in laying the foundations for newer build­ ings, such as Gleeson Library, bones and other signs of graves were found buried deep beneath the soil top. This is perhaps something to keep in mind while walking the grounds of our campus, alone, late at night. —Sylvie McClelland

Once Jamba Juice opened a store on cam­ pus, there was not a place in sight that s student could go without seeing an oversized smoothie Styrofoam cup. The students went through a Mango A Go-Go craze to a Razzmatazz phase. The whole campus was crazy over the latest juice joint that existed in the University Center. Jamba Juice was well equipped and accepted the meal plan card - Flexi, which went over well for them to cater to the students. It's not only fun to drink; or­ dering is just as fun too! Students enjoy the pleasure of selecting their favorite boost - the nutritional supplement. The personal favorites of the Editor in Chief are energy to stay up all those long nights finishing proofs for the yearbook and im­ munity to keep from getting sick to en­ sure the endurance for the production of yearbook. Students across campus en­ joy the healthy alternatives to World Fare because pre-remodeling of the cafeteria, the menu offerings were not quite as healthy as after the renovations and implementations of healthier menu choices. —Erin Rideout £s?

Eve Katrina Lauren Devon Mendez Mendez Merrill Meyers Student Portraits SALAD BAR

Salad and Sandwich Stations World Fare's recent improvements Our infamous cafeteria has disguised itself behind old Disneyland props and new hats, drawing in tens of spectators. Conversations no longer center on the less than sub-par qual­ ity of food. Dancing dishes and mar­ quee chase lights give me seizures. St. Ignatius didn't eat at World Fare. It's all based on pure business and pure evil. That is why I usually feel the need to go to reassess my pagan ways and repent sins after exiting, having glimpsed into the bowels of the underworld. World Fare's repu­ tation already has students buying out all the Easy Mac at Albertson's.. .but we all go there any­ way. The novelty of being able to eat and play backgammon at the same time has not worn off yet. The best part of it is the mirror behind the sand­ wiches. You can pretend you are watching the "Sandwich-Making Channel" on a flat screen TV. It is hours of entertainment. —from the Foghorn courtesy of Samuel Cortez Sharkey.

San Francisco Teachers Everybody says that knowledge is power. Who is there to give every­ body that knowledge correctly? Teachers. Teachers are there whether we see them or not, and they're teaching our kids the things they need to know in order to survive. Without teachers, knowledge wouldn't be passed on accurately and our entire way of life would dwindle down to nothing. No culture, no records...nothing. Reading. Writing. Un­ derstanding. Questioning. This is the undertak­ ing that builds our world for tomorrow - teach­ ers just make it happen. Teachers can be just teachers - but to truly learn from a teacher is to ignore that they are one and treat them as a friend. So what if someone gets an "A" on a test or can do all the work re­ quired for a class? If this life of ours were based on grades, memorization would rule all. That's not life. Therefore - it's not the right way to do something. But what does it mean to absorb knowledge? As humans are, being built on things that are and are not possible, who teaches} Who learns} Learning is a function of the human soul. Ev­ eryone gets information and decides whether to believe or question the statement. Professors tell what they want to hear in return. Teachers question every­ thing in order to for an individual to decide through his or her own personal experiences. So, the next time a teacher strolls by, think about if that's a professor or a friend. The difference can change lives. l-T-l ill " .!_ "1 " I o learn or to know, that is the question.

Here, clubs can find their mailboxes, cam­ pus telephones, meeting rooms, and space to work. Also housed in the new Club Space is the Graphics Center, where groups on campus can have banners, i-shirts, postcards, and even Foghorn ad designed. This new Club Space fits well between the Fog 'N Grog, Crossroads Cafe, and the new Jamba Juice.

To the Yearbook Staff, Sharon Tomeky It's been more work to Director of Marketing and Sales, Study Abroad, Sports and finish the yearbook than everything that brought this book from us to you. anyone ever imagined in our second year of The Don but now that we're through I hope that all of you feel very proud of efforts. I know it's not an easy task to find time in your busy schedules to take photos, write stories, and work on layouts, but you all did it. Each one of you had your strengths and contributed to the year­ book as best you could. If you gave it your all that's all that matters. I wholeheartedly appreciate the work you have done. No task was menial.

Creating a yearbook is not primarily about the end product, but it is about the process of learning to work with each other and under­ standing how people respond in a working environment— this is true for most things in life. This has been an unforgettable experience for me and I will take away from it many life lessons.

I wish you all the best in the future and keep "building bridges."

Colophon JL£|LJ_ l3ufe^S4^ '&Ylpl4£&

As I look back on the short (but seemingly long) previ­ ous one-and-a-half years that I have spent so far at this univer­ sity, I can't help but feel that the phrase "building bridges" means more than just reaching out to the community outside this school. It seems as if every day that you spend with the people around you, be it your friends, your classmates, co­ workers, peers, roommates, even the members of your own family, you continue to build relationships with them, to "build bridges" to them. These "bridges," however, do not seem to end as you continue to build different relationships with different people. Let us think about it for a moment, and ponder the meaning of this. Normally, in this context, the idea of "build­ ing bridges" places an emphasis on community service. This would mean that we would be attempting to cross a sea with a 'bridge,' so to speak, to get to those in need of our help. How­ ever, in the obvious sense, a bridge can be crossed from both ends, and once a bridge is built, both sides can access it. This seems a rather shallow context in which to place community service, and places a limit, a constraint, on how far the bridge can reach. Instead, let us look at the sea between the two sides, the body of water traversed by the bridge. Both of the two sides are far beyond the reach of human sight, and the sea seems almost endless, despite the continuous construction of the bridge. However, the farther out to sea the bridge goes, the greater the depth of understanding each side has for the other, for the sea is the experience by which we understand the true purpose of the bridge's destination. Every meter built towards the other side is another step in improving our understanding of our goal, and though the task may seem endless, we continu­ ously improve, never stopping. "Building bridges" has more to do than just reaching out to others. It has to do with the human spirit, manifested through community service, and through relationships with other people, loved ones, friends and peers. It also has to do with the burning desire of the human being to continuously improve itself, never ending in its goal. By spanning the endless ocean that is the human character, by never stopping to improve ourselves and who we are, we come closer to truly understanding the human person. There is an ancient saying: "to know yourself is to be enlightened. "

So...let's get to it, then. Roh it Wad
