During its renovation, the Law Library was temporarily relocated in the Public Policy building . The long awaited opening of the Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscience Center took place in October. The Gonda Center was built to give students and researchers greater access to labs while serving as a genetics research center. J28_ events A As common as the droning of long-winded professors, the boommg eight-clap, or the unruly midnight yell, was the sound of construction. Just as the campus saw many improvements come to fruition during the year, it saw many others begin. Indeed, con- struction workers became as much a part ot the campus backdrop as the persistent solici- tors on Bruin Walk. In October, construction was completed on the $48 million Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscience and Genetics Center, the result of a $45 million gift from the Gonda family. This two-year project was built to house .SOO labs and act as a genetics research center. Just as construction signs went down for the Gonda building, fencing went up across the street in front of Parking Structure 8. The Westwood Office Project closed the side- walk on the west side of the busy street and demolished the front of the parking services office to make room for a three-story office building. Student traffic on Westwood Blvd. was diverted through Lot 8, and people had to roam endlessly through detours to access the parking office.

The Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library was another welcome addition to campus. During its construction, law students used the cramped facilities ot the Public Policy Building. At the completion of the new Law Library, students finally had access to the four-story library, with a reading room overlooking downtown Los Angeles.

Amid the practical jokes that a number of Bruins pulled on the USC campus, 12 hard-working Student Alumni Association members sought to create a vengeful, yet safe cornucopia of activities on our own campus that would manifest school ptide and pump up the football team for the war of the decade. Perhaps this year's Beat 'SC Week held more meaning, with great expectations on the team to maintain their unde- feated record, a Rose Bowl berth already clinched, hopes to continue the seven year winning streak over the Trojans, and plans on advancing to the national championship at the Fiesta Bowl. As junior cornerback Ryan Roques men- tioned, "This is the biggest game of the season. USC is our arch-rival and we take so much pride m beating them every year because it gives us bragging rights and reveals who the real city champs are." Beat 'SC Week began with a mini festival in Westwood Plaza, which featured games such as "Pin the Trojan (con- dom) on the Trojan, " "Dunk that Punk Tommy Trojan, " a "Beat the Trojan " pifiata, and a pie throwing contest fit- tingly named "Cremate 'SC". SAA sold Trojan voodoo dolls, gave out free stuff, and sold "Trojan Inforno" t-shirts. Students participated in the traditional car smash, venting all of their anger and animosity at the Trojans by pound- ing on a red and yellow painted car parked outside of Westwood Plaza. Rowena Ocampo, a first year Undeclared stu- dent and member of the Beat 'SC Week committee stated, "It's cool to see all the support ... all the enmity fueled school spirit and a willingness to do things that people would not notmally do for the sake of school rivalry." The spirited week culminated in the bonfire and rally held Thursday night in Drake Stadium. Bruin tans gath- ered on the field as blue and yellow balloons, a sea of pom poms, a gigantic Cade McKnown jersey, and an enlarged football helmet with the UCLA insignia added to the festive atmosphere. With the help of the spirit squads, mas- cots, the band, and appearances by athletic teams such as Men's soccer and Women's track, students' excitement for thggame intensified. And as the hyped-up and rowdy football players and offensive coordinator Al Borges rallied the fans from on-sr.ige, the Troian effigy burned in flames in the background, a foreboding omen of what the Bruin foot- ball rc.ini would ilo to the Troi-ins tli.ii Saturd.n .iftiTiioon.

The prevailing sentiment was captured by alumnus Anthony Pinga, class of 1996. "I love the rivalry. No matter how bad we do with the rest of the teams, we make up for it when we whoop 'em!" The eight long years in which the Bruins have held the title in the city championship made it hard to believe that the hapless Trojans had ever vanquished our stalwart Bruins. However, over the long histories of the schools, USC, with its long tradition of football excellence, is actu- ally up in the series: 34-27-7. Since the beginning, the schools have made it clear that even massive Los Angeles is not big enough tor the egos of two outstanding universities. In 1919, the first year UCLA moved to its Westwood campus, USC students burned a bonfire set for a UCLA rally, thus beginning the long and storied rivalry.

Despite the tradition of rivalry, connections between students put it into perspective as something done tor tun.

UCLA had a chance at the national championship on the line, a nineteen-game win- ning streak, and pressure to carry on the seven year dominance of USC; 'SC had no hope but to pull off a huge upset. Did they real- ly ever even have a chance? The rivalry that had once been dominated by USC had become, in recent years, more of a spirit rivalry than a football game. Fans of both schools prepared for the game in full force. The entire Rose Bowl area overflowed with people sporting all kinds of variations on their school's colors and paraphernalia. At no other game was school spirit displayed as clearly as at the 'SC game. Bruin fans came with everything from face decals to body paint declaring their support for UCLA. Many students felt that by dressing up they got more excited for the game. "My friends and I have a tradition of wearing as much blue and gold as possible, we even paint our fingernails blue and gold. By doing this we get excited for the game and we look forward to the game for the entire season, " enthused third year International Economics major, Tracy Kumagai. Jibes were exchanged between the rivals, and cries of "Eight more years!!" were chanted by the Bruins while the Trojans pranced their big white horse in the end zone. Spirits were high for both teams going into the game, although by halt-time, 'SC had all but given up. Since the UCLA-USC game was the most anticipated and glamourized game of the season, attendees were required to get their tickets in advance and were given assigned seats. This created havoc at the game since people did not sit in their assigned seats because they wanted to sit near their friends. Problems arose when all of the seats in a section were full, yet people were still trying to get in because their assigned seats were there, and they were not allowed to enter at any other gate. One tunnel was even held for over twenty minutes while the crowd grew restless and tried pushing past the monitors. "I was so frustrated because everyone kept pushing, but there was nowhere to go and people were yelling at the guards. Cheers of the game could be heard, yet we were missing it because we were stuck in the tunnel," remarked third year Communication Studies major, Jeanne Sakamoto. Even though USC had lost for seven years in a row, the Trojans still came with the hope of ruining the Bruins' perfect season. With an early field goal and the fiist points on the scoreboard, their hopes soared. Then the next Bruin possession resulted in a touch- down and extra point which put UCLA into the lead. UCLA increased its lead throughout the game, and the Bruin fans got louder while the 'SC fans fled the stadium before the game had even ended. The Trojans didn't seem to have the confidence that their team could overcome a seventeen point spread like UCLA did in '96. Without that confidence, the game ended with a score of 34-17 UCLA. Although the game may have lacked the anxiety and roller coaster of emotions that accompanied other games of the season, it was comforting to completely dominate USC, and the victory was definitely just as sweet.

Although such tactics were to be expected, this year's elections did provide some ver\' unexpected events. In California, Democrats gained two tremendous victories in the elections of Gray Davis as Governor and Barbara Boxer as Senator. The victories were said to be partially due to the support of young voters, such as the ones that may have been gained during the rally that Davis and Boxer held for the Democratic party at UCLA the day before elections.

Daily Brum staft members were always on duty, diligently spending every spare minute outside of class to produce the school paper. With kiosks situated all across campus, and even at some off-campus sites, the Daily Bruin was widely distributed and available to interested Bruins. A trail of newspapers followed the lives of students, who left papers scattered in the aisles of lecture halls and between seats on the Campus Express shuttle. Most students at least glanced at the front page headlines of the Daily Bruin on a regular basis, while the majority flipped through it each day to find the crossword puzzle at the end. As the primary publication of UCLA, the Daily Bruin has con- tinued to grow successfully in its years of existence. Although stu- dents took advantage of the entertainment, information, and ser- vices that it offered, most had no idea what went on during its pro- duction. Jill Simonian, a third year Communication Studies major and a secretary of the Communications Board, explained what went on behind-the-scenes; "I work side by side with the Daily Bruin staft everyday, and I see how much work they put in. Some of the peo- ple that I have the most respect for work there, because they are so diligent and responsible in producing the paper, and they treat their work very seriously." The Communications Board oversaw Student Media and made sure everything was running properly. Production of the newspaper called for effective organization on a daily basis. A typical day in the office required a meeting to plan the stories for the next day, designing layouts for each page, mak- ing sure photos were taken and developed, writing the articles, and editing just about everything. "I usually come in around 1 1 :00 AM every day, and I am always the last one in my section to leave," said Trinh Bui, a third year Communication Studies major As the Arts & Entertainment Editor, Bui was responsible for making sure his staff got things done. Although it took up most of his day, Bui enjoyed his work. "It's like working at a real paper; it's really hectic. You're not just coming in once in awhile like some student jobs, but you have to be here everyday, all the time. It has made me more grateful to how much hard work people put into publications." A successful publication resulted from the hard work of the Daily Bruin staff. The fruits of their efforts could be seen in the popularity of the paper on and around campus.

Before the late 60's, UCLA thought the Daily Bruin was a sufficient outlet to cover all student issues. Little did they know how wrong they were. During that era of tremendous political activism, students decided to stand up against inequality and have their own voices heard. At first, the proposal for an independent newsmagazine was faced with resistance. But with pressure from the Black Students Association and the support of Chancellor Young, the first newsmagazine was approved. Terelle Jerricks, Kommo's editor, explained that if it weren't for Chancellor Young, Nommo would not exist. Nommo, a publication concentrating on issues concerning African-Americans, became the first alternative news- magazine. Six newsmagazines had come into existence by UCLA's 80th Anniversary: Nommo. La Gente. Ha'am, Fern. Pacific Ties, and Al-Talib. Altogether, these publications independently covered a variety of cultures and issues. Most of the newsmagazines took a political stance on the issues they covered. The fact that they existed was itself a political statement, explained 'Vy Nguyen, editor oi Pacific Ties. Gerardo Felix, a staff member at La Gente - a magazine that addressed the issues of the Chicana/o, Latina/o, and Native American community - discussed the importance of the magazine; "Magazines and the entire media have a lot of power. We make the magazine what we want it to be; we educate, empower, and increase awareness of our issues to our readership," explained Felix. The newsmagazines of UCLA empowered the students and the community. Each stayed true to its readership and continued to be a voice tor the minority.

The members were responsible for representing undergraduates at high levels ot decision-making. Although most students were not aware of how much responsi- bility USAC took on, the results of their behind-the-scenes efforts were utilized by many. "I wouldn't be able to say exactly what USAC does, but it seems like you hear about them whenever there's a controversy over something. I know they organize protests and things when there are big issues to deal with," commented Helen Steinberg, a fourth year Business Economics major. One of their many activites this year was the Day ot Silence to protest in support of affirmative action. A silent march was con- ducted across a campus spattered with cardboard tombstones and chalkboards to encourage students to become aware of the true effects of affirmative action. Numerous other events were also held by the Campus Events Commission, a division of USAC. Over 40,000 students, faculty, and staff attended these events which included movies on campus at budget prices, performances by well-known artists, celebrity appearances, and leading guest speakers. The Community Service Commission was another division of USAC that called for the involvement ot students, running more than twenty voluntary programs. Other activities run by under- graduate volunteers included student welfare programs such as AIDS awareness. Substance Abuse Awareness, Blood Drives, and CPR/First Aid Training. "I got involved with USAC because I believed that it would real- ly make a difference in the lives of students.

Moreover, every student was given an individual web page that outlined his or her class sched- ules, appointments, and graduation information.

Fashion of the futute became something where one necessari- ly had to endure pain. Young people everywhere developed a hankering to piercings and tattoos. In the nineties, body art generated a loyal following amongst the college-minded crowd. All across campus, students from different styles and backgrounds displayed such adornments as navel rings, tongue studs, and tat- toos. These styles crossed the once unconventional lines of fashion and became a part of the mainstream. The reasons for getting such body accessories varied. For some, tattoos and piercings expressed an underly- ing rebellious attitude against parents and even the older generations. But for many, the reason to get pierced or tattooed was purely cosmetic. "I got an eyebrow ring a few years ago just because I thought it looked good. But this year I needed to find a job and I didn't think it would make a good impression at an interview so I had to take it out," stated Brian Kim, a fifth year Economics major. Since it was easier to remove a body piercing than to remove a tattoo, students were more inclined to get pierced. However, with the trend of temporary and henna tattoos, this transitory art became increasingly popu- lar, even adorning such celebrities as Gwen Stafani from No Doubt, and the ultimate trendsetter. Madonna. "I've considered a tattoo, but then I always wonder if in the future, when I'm ninety years old, I'll regret the decision," said Vivian Koo, a fourth year Psychology major. While fashion is constantly changing, it is also a continuous cycle. What's all the rage today may become a reminder of the past tomorrow. One thing for sure is that when our children start donning the styles we thought were cool, we'll be saying to ourselves, "What were we thinking!?!?"

According to parking administrators, over 30,000 students, staff, and faculty applied for 22,000 available permits in just the fall quarter. This left over 8,000 (mostly students) searching for a means to get to class. For some, this meant acquainting themselves with the bus routes or vanpool and carpool services. Others decid- ed to dust oft their old bikes or roller blades, or even travel to cam- pus on their own two feet. Students who arrived on campus after about 10:00 in the morn- ing often found a campus completely sold out of parking spaces, even in the inconvenient Lot 32. This was especially true in the first few weeks of school. They were forced to use the expensive pri- vate parking structures in Westwood Village. Parking shortages have been something of a chronic problem tor UCLA. 1950 was the last time administrators have been able to grant all the permits requested, even at the steep price of $84 per quarter tor a yellow permit. Shortages may be attributed to the growing pains of a university in a metropolitan area. With all sur- rounding areas developed, the school lacked the liberty to buy extra space for parking facilities. The inability to expand outward has forced the school to push downward, building the subterranean Structure 4. Located beneath the soccer field and Wooden Center, Structure 4 hoped to help ease students' parking woes. Still, construction officials admitted that it would not be fully completed for at least another year. Parking officials have stressed finding alternative routes to UCLA, including the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, the Metro, car- pooling and vanpooling, as a way to beat the parking jam. The Transportation Oftice gave priority to permit applicants who car- pooled and arranged affordable van service to outlying areas. On October 10th, they held a transportation fair to emphasize these options to students. With growing limitations on commuting, the hope for the future seemed to be in finding a new way to UCLA.

With an average rent of SI 050 per month, students had to find ways to pay for rent, food, and other living expenses. While some students were lucky and did not have to pay out of their own pockets for their personal necessities, most had to get jobs. As Dolores Valenzuela, a second year Undeclared student, stated, "I needed the money to pay tor my living expenses and school supplies." Although students were employed in different fields for many reasons, the most basic reason was financial necessity. For some students, having a job was part of their financial aid package in the form of work-study. UCLA and its surrounding communities offered many opportunities for employment. Valenzuela worked on campus as a clerk at the Women's Gym. Vonny Y. Ichiho, a fourth year student majoring in Sociology, was employed with a construction company in Torrance as an assistant secretary. But working while in school was not an easy thing. The 10 to 20 hours that they spent working could have been used for studying. "Working actually challenged me. I had to learn to manage my time wisely. I couldn't just sit around the house and do nothing; I had a limited amount of time to do my homework," explained Ichiho. Most employers knew their student employees would need a flexible schedule, but even so students had to make sacrifices. "Sometimes I wanted to get involved in many of the different groups on campus, but I knew that I did not have the time to do them with all the school work I had and my job," stated Valenzuela. Obviously, students would not be able to study at UCLA if they could not pay their fees and living expenses. Student jobs were a basic aspect of life for most UCLA students. Bills had to be paid, and the only way most students could afford them was through working. Some jobs were fun and gave them experience, while oth- ers just worked for the money. For whatever reason students worked, their jobs helped them to be responsible and learn to manage their time as efficiently as possible to have time to study and party.

Jthough a well-rounded education was an important reason students attended UCLA, what happened outside of class was just as high on their priority list. Having a social lite was important because it gave students an opportunity to interact with friends and fellow Bruins, as well as to relax from academic stress. Dance clubs, pool halls, happy hour places, and karaoke bars were all popular places that students could choose from. Whatever students were in the mood for, they would find it. Feliza Ortiz, a Political Science senior said, "Almost every Monday, a group ot my friends and 1 would go to Acapulco's Restaurant for karaoke night. It was fun to listen to the people who tried to sing. But most importantly, it was a place where my friends from Long Beach, UCLA and other schools would get together to have fun. Whenever a UCLA student would go up to sing, fellow Bruins would cheer them on," Ortiz explained. Students could find different dancing clubs that played alterna- tive rock, rock en espanol, hip-hop, deep house and swing music. With the influence of the independent film Swingers, swing music made a huge come back to L.A. "It was so fun at the Derby. Everyone was dressed in 40's style clothes, having a blast. The music was just so danceable," explained Dolores Villanueva, a fourth year sociology senior. All around L.A. swing clubs were popping out to accommodate the demand. The Ballroom Dance Club, an organization on campus, even offered swing dancing lessons to students throughout the school year. Student clubs, such as the Latin American Student Association, also organized parties to raise funds while allowing students to enjoy salsa, merenge, rock en espanol, and R & B music in a safe environment. Maricruz Melendrez, a third year student member of the Latin American Student Association said, "It was really fun to plan out the party. It felt great to have the UCLA community attend in sup- port of LASA, an organization that helps UCLA and urban city children."

Unfortunately, in our society students had to pay for higher education in one form or another. To help lower income families, the government provided students with federal and state grants and student and parent loans. To facilitate the distribution of financial aid, the government had a standardized form: the Free Application tor Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Although no one was guaranteed a grant, with comple- tion of the torm, students received a Financial Aid Notification let- ter describing possible ways to pay for school. Cal Grants, awarded to students with a high G.P.A in high school and proven financial need, were one of the most common forms of scholarships available to students. Sonia Gutierrez, a sec- ond year Undeclared student, made good use of her Cal Grant; "My Cal Grant and Pell Grant were enough to cover my registration fees and school supplies. Because of the grants I didn't need to get any loans." UCLA also awarded scholarships to students who demon- strated a financial need or academic excellence. For most students, work-study programs were another way to pay for school. Many employers on-campus hired only work-study students. The federal government instituted this program to help students by awarding them financial aid for working. In essence, the employer would have employees work for them while the gov- ernment subsidized their pay. There were also students who were awarded neither grants nor work-study. "I had really high grades in high school, but I didn't get a Cal Grant or work-study. The Financial Aid office told me that my parents made too much money and they could only offer loans to pay my fees. The problem was that my parents had a lot of expenses and the Financial Aid office was ignoring that fact. The standards used to determine who needed financial aid were too low," explained Dolly Yanes, a third year Economics major. For some students it was not difficult to finance a $13,000 edu- cation at UCLA, while for others it was a nightmare. With or without financial aid, most students had to make some sort of sac- rifices to attend UCLA. However, for many of the students who had to scrounge to find money to pay tuition, it was well worth the effort.

At any time ot the day, herds of students walked down the famous path in such a tush to get to where they had to go that they tailed to realize the number of opportunities Bruin Walk offered. Where else at UCLA could you sign up for a credit card, registet to vote, learn about the 500 clubs and organizations on campus, and win free movie tickets, among other things.' Cleatly, Bruin Walk was an appropriate place to see what was going on around campus. However, most students dreaded the trip down the walk due to the large numbers of solicitors: people handing out unwanted pam- phlets of information and obnoxiously asking poor students tor donations. The majority ot Bruins abhorred being accosted by complete strangers. Agibail Gelb, a second year Microbiology and Molecular Genetics major, addressed the dual nature of Bruin Walk when she said, "Bruin Walk is a good place to advertise, but the interrup- tions can be a bit bothersome, especially when people are so assertive." The tables which the many clubs and organizations used to dis- seminate information and notify people about new events were usu- ally viewed in a positive light. On the other hand, Btuins employed a number of different techniques to avoid harassment, such as taking alternative routes or blatantly ignoring the intrusive solicitors. Although some other students politely took the information, Walter Yim, a fourth year Psychobiology major, characterized the majority by opting to "... just wear a walkman and continue walk- ing while avoiding all eye-contact." In spite of the negative perceptions people had of Bruin Walk, other students actually enjoyed the hustle and bustle that permeat- ed the walkway. Many chose to sit at the tables and on the side- lines of Bruin Walk to socialize with their friends. "On Bruin Walk, I'm guaranteed to see people 1 know, and I love to people watch too," declared fourth year Communication Studies major Kristina Caberto. Indeed, if students wanted to interact and socialize with other members of the UCLA community. Bruin Walk was definitely the best place to achieve their goals.

Fitness was a top priority not only for student athletes, but also for the majority of students, who wanted to keep fit by exercising. The John Wooden Center, Sunset Canyon Recreation Center, Drake Stadium, and a number of other options around campus made it rather effortless to fit exercise into otherwise busy schedules. The Wooden Center was one of the most popular locations. The racquetball and basketball courts, weight room, rock wall, cardio- vascular machines, and drop-in fitness classes such as kickboxing and hip-hop were utilized by a multitude ot students on a daily basis. Scheduling a work-out was on the minds ot many Bruins, who managed to exercise in spite of their packed schedules. First year Computer Science and Engineering student Andrew Hong visited the Wooden Center five days a week. "I like to come after class to work-out and study later on in the night." Although a profuse number of students chose the Wooden Center to meet their fitness needs, some felt that the gym was too boring and found a set routine rather redundant. As alternatives some opted to swim laps in the Sunset pools, run at the Drake track, or work-out in the fitness rooms in residence halls. Others looked outside of UCLA and favored activities such as Swing, Salsa, Hula dancing, rollerblading, or the martial arts. Even with all the options, some students still did not place working-out at the top of their priority lists. Mia Mariano, an Undeclared second year student, echoed the sentiments of many when she stated, "Just walking around this campus is enough exer- cise for me!" Despite the different ways in which people chose to exercise, many shared similar fitness goals. Besides looking great, gaining energy to study, and feeling good about themselves, students were concerned about their future health. According to third year Physiological Science major Maya Caspi, "If you're not strong when you're young, you'll have worse effects later on in life. How well you take care of yourself now will reflect on you when you're older." Indeed, Bruins were not only concerned with flexing their brain muscles, but the other muscles in their bodies as well.

The Education Abroad Program was the UC system-wide for- eign exchange program. In this program, students could continue enrollment at UCLA while taking classes in the country of their choice. Once in the country, they could either live in the dorms or rent an apartment. Students received credit for most of the classes they took abroad, although not all of the classes transferred to ful- fill UC requirements. The EXPO Center was another resource to help students study abroad through privately owned programs. The courses that the students enrolled in were comparible to UCLA courses, but stu- dents' grades were not transferred. Only credit and the fulfillment of a requirement transferred over. This program had the advantage of not affecting the students' GPA. Study abroad programs gave students the opportunity to put their education to the test, while expanding their knowledge about the people and their culture. "I wanted to go to Italy to learn about a different culture and to know how they view the US. They have such a different perspec- tive of the US! I learned a lot living in a completely different cul- ture than my own. It was a great experience," explained Araceli Castillo, a fifth year Political Science major. Although Castillo had taken courses on Italy at UCLA it was a completely new experience to learn from Italians. Isabella Ortiz, a fifth year Political Science major, chose to study in Mexico because her parents were born there, and she thought that it would be a great opportunity to visit her homeland. "I had been to Mexico on vacations before, but I had never lived there. At the university we met many UC students from the other campuses and formed long lasting relationships. But the best part of living and studying in Mexico was that I learned about their his- tory from their perspective," Ortiz explained Study abroad programs worked extremely well to help students learn about different cultures in a very personal way.

An increasing number ol Bruins have cho- sen to perform community service activities as a means by which to enrich their own college experiences while helping others at the same time. In its 43rd year of existence, the Brum Belles Service Association was one such organization which strove to give its members a wide range of community service opportunities. In addition to aiding the UCLA and Los Angeles communities through hands-on service including volunteering at soup kitchens, tutoring children, and organizing canned food drives, the Bruin Belles Service Association also endeavored to promote women's leadership. Shadi Jahangir, Historian of the organization and a first year Business Economics student expressed the importance ot community service; "Community service is just one ot the ways in which people are able to give back what they've taken." Other organizations chose to focus on one particular type of community service. Project Literacy was one such organization whose purpose was to eradicate functional illiteracy and to teach people to enjoy reading. Project Literacy's Vernon branch director Jenny Ryan, a fourth year Physiological Science major, attributed students' growing interest in volunteering to simply "knowing that there is a need for community service." Jenny continued, "Students give their service tor purely unselfish reasons because they realize that other communities don't have a lot ot the things that we do. " To demonstrate the connection between academics and volun- teering, the Golden Key Honor Society provided its members with opportunities for service projects in addition to academic support. Golden Key members participated in decorating the Pediatric ward of the UCLA Medical Center and the Nickelodeon Help-a-thon throughout the year. "Golden Key gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of serving the community to those who are high acade- mic achievers and are active in extracurricular activities, " stated Golden Key Outreach Chair Hector Luk, a fourth year Business Economics student. By highlighting volunteer service within the university set- ting, these and other organizations proved that community service was compatible with the lifestyles of many Bruins.

The John Wooden Center and UCLA Recreation hosted many alternative classes to offset an oftentimes depressing academic load. Climbing a rock wall or learning a new martial art gave students the perfect remedy to college blues. Because many students found the stairclimbers and treadmills monotonous forms of exercise, the Wooden Center gave students the opportnity to explore other forms of calorie-burning activities. A new addition to the Wooden Center replaced a few racquetball courts. This large and looming Rock Wall became a popular between-class activity. From the novice to the expert, participants donned their best climbing shoes and scaled difficult levels of the structure. Pamela Roa, a fifth year English major and an instructor for the Rock Climbing Wall, spent several hours a week helping beginners improve their climbing skills while perfecting her own scaling abilities. "After a bad day, climbing allows you to take out your aggression. You focus on accomplishing a goal and concentrate really hard, then soon enough, you're at the top, " Roa stated. Besides instructing at the Rock Wall, Roa also participated in "Outdoor Adventures " sponsored by UCLA Recreation. Weekend trips to Joshua Tree or spring break hiking expeditions in Hawaii were just a sampling of the many excursions one could take. Classes for sailing and kayaking were even available for students who loved water and waves. Held at the Marina Aquatic Center in Marina del Rey, these unique sports were available to those who wanted to learn a new sport or hone their own techniques. For those who wanted to stay indoors and in the area, the Wooden Center and Sunset Canyon Recreation Center hosted classes from spiritu- al yoga to sweat-inducing kickboxing.

It was even longer for Judith Rafael! Going back to school, that is. The number of returning students at UCLA was quite high. Many people realized at a certain time in their lives that the job field was much more competitive than it was when they first attended college and so they made the decision to go back to school. Judith Rafael, a senior interested in Hebrew Studies, first attended UCLA directly out of high school. She left UCLA with- out completely finishing her studies, married and had children, and finally decided to come back to finish her degree. "What was real- ly important to me was to see if I could come back and do it. 1 had waves of fear, trying to carry all the classes 1 needed. The only way to get over my fear was to just do it," explained Rafael. Fear was a factor for many returning students who felt that uni- versity life seemed to focus strictly on students right out of high school. Returning students who had young children often had dif- ficulty finding adequate child-care while they attended classes. Most organizations seemed to be geared towards young students, and older students sometimes felt that there was a lack of resources. There was definitely a need for non-traditional students to be rec- ognized as well. Many had no choice but to overcome their fears because going back to school was a necessity in order to advance in their fields. Connie Jones, a third year student in American Literature and Culture, worked for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Her advance- ment within Fox depended on her education. "I found a job in a company where I needed more of an education. My sister graduat- ed from UCLA, so naturally it was recommended to me," explained Jones. Nicolette Scorsese returned to school because she did not want to rely solely on her acting and modeling skills, but wanted a more concrete educational background. "For women in the acting field, it is more important to have an education. An education has afforded me choices," explained Scorsese, a junior double-majoring in American Literature and History. So there they are. Just a few of the older, non-traditional stu- dents, ready to make their marks on UCLA, and then the world!

This reputation created by the media greatly distorted the true activities of the Greek system. Sororities and fraternities on UCLA's campus were involved in a wide range of activities. Greek life provided students with an opportunity to make a wide range of friends both within and outside of their House. Sororities and fraternities participated in a large number of campus activities. IM sports was one of the areas that they were especially involved in. Sports such as flag football, softball, soccer, tennis, and basketball attracted both Greek men and women. "I played IM football and soccer for my fraternity. I think that IM sports are exciting and competitive, and since big crowds come out to watch, it gives you a nostalgic sense of what high school athletics were like," commented third year Political Science major Mark Vasquez. Every fraternity and sorority sponsored a philanthropy organization and used a variety of methods to raise money tor it. Fundraising events included dinners and competitions in which every Greek house would donate money to attend, and the profits would go to help the cause supported by the sponsoring House. "I went to the Revlon Run/Walk to help in the fight against breast cancer and felt that a lot of Greek women were there and were working together for a good cause," remarked Amy Saft, an Undeclared second year student. Some houses had study programs organized where members tutored each other, and some set-up study groups through the House. Since a wide variety of members were in each House, many different campus activities were represented, and students could learn about organizations or activities that they might be interested in joining. Greek life provided a variety of aspects to its members' lives which helped to make their time at UCLA more enjoyable. ■Joining my sorority was one of the best choices that I made.

Professors and teaching assistants showed support for the cause their students had taken up so long ago by holding their classes outside and using class time to discuss the effects of repealing affirmative action. Others supported the move- ment by speaking at the forum in the newly renovated Meyerhoff Park. One visible sign of protest was Professor Glenn Omatsu's investigative journalism class taking a walking tour of North Campus along with 50 other students. On the tour, the students learned about the history of eth- nic studies at UCLA and their relation to Campbell Hall and Haines Hall. "Education doesn't have to occur within the classroom, " Omatsu said. "In fact, you may learn more by walking out." English and Women's Studies Professor Rachel Lee held her class on Asian women writers in Dixon Plaza. Students were mostly happy to par- ticipate in support of Affirmative Action. "I think most everyone agrees about the importance of diversity at UCLA," said Lee. "A class about Asian-American writers wouldn't be around without affirmative action. The program changes the way people feel about the subject." At noon, faculty members gathered in Meyerhoff Park to give speech- es about the importance of affirmative action. Law Professor Kimberly Crenshaw was one of many who urged others not to be stigmatized because they benefited from affirmative action admission policies. "We should be proud to be beneficiaries of affirmative action," Crenshaw said. "It doesn't mean we're any less qualified." Walkouts continued into the next day, with more speeches given. Rev. Jesse Jackson gave a speech before 500 mostly black clad students. The students, dressed in solidarity for the national day of protest against police brutality, heard Jackson encourage them to continue fighting for what they believe in. "The great American dream is to include all and leave no one behind," he began. "You must fight for the big-tent America." The protest drew criticisms from state officials who wrote oft the action as pointless in nature. UC Regent Frank Clark called the walkouts "ridiculous." Some students similarly found the message worthless and "redundant." However, the walkouts did make an impact for the sizable portion of the student body who participated in them. _22. issues r • 1% ^*'-.1l^^ ri^ ip^- I ^ r( « I ^ , V Kcnl Loong, assistant director of the labor Center in the School of Puhlic Policy and Social Research, speaks out in favor of affirmative action.

By the end of the 20th century, however, technological advances occurred at exponential rates, leaving us with computers that could collect and disseminate infor- mation from all over the world. The sudden popularity and mass accep- tance ot the Internet came as no surprise. With newfound knowledge and interesting stories right at your fingertips, the Internet became an inte- gral part of student learning. Along with the quarterly tuition fees that students had to pay came a very unpopular fee first imposed last year. The Instructional Enhancement Initiative (I.E.I) mandated a $10-$ 14 fee per course for the creation and maintenance of course web pages. While there was still backlash to this extra cost, both students and professors began to warm up to the inevitable place that the World Wide Web was taking in the educational system. Whether it was to look for something from class notes posted on the Web or to research for a term paper, the Internet offered students a wide range of opportunities to expand their learning. "I often log onto the Web to do research for class or look something up in the course syllabus. And having URSA online really helps out when I need to check my academic record without having to face the lines at Murphy," stated Ronnie Jordan, a fourth year American Literature and Neuroscience major. Besides educational uses, the Web also had entertainment purposes that students knew and loved. Various web sites offered the latest in gos- sip, news, and sports. With the increasing prevalence of web pages, everyday citizens were learning the languages to create their own sites. This new method of getting one's message across spawned all kinds of innovative pages. "I went to Taiwan this past summer and one of my friends made a web page with pictures from our trip. It's a great way to relive all my mem- ories and stay in touch with the people I met," said Belinda Mekdara, a fifth year Communication Studies student. For whatever purpose the Internet was used, students found the World Wide Web to be an exciting and substantial part ot everyday culture. With communications stretching across the globe, what people needed was a tool to make the world smaller. The Internet was capable of doing just that. internet 5L ^tiSSiSQi s story by Catherine calleja D ^^1^ iversity of religion on campus was one of those benefits of attend- ing a university as large as UCLA. Walking around the different parts of campus, one could observe a sea of sandwich boards relaying the various messages of a number of religious student organizations. Walking up Bruin Walk also provided for religious exposure from a variety of sources. Students were frequently invited to join numerous religious organizations on campus. While some students telt the need to desire and worship a greater being, others felt that they had no need for any allotment of religion in their lives. Some of those who concluded that religion was a necessity in their lives related to C.S. Lewis, a religious author who once wrote, "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and there- fore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning." The different religious organizations on campus helped students deal with their questions about life, giving them answers to their inquiries through divergent religious points of view. Through the various fellow- ships and study groups, students were able to learn and bond with others who shared the same ideologies as themselves. "I think that with all the Christian fellowships on campus, each has somethmg unique and special to offer to everyone. But they're all still unified under God," commented Carey Lai, a second year Business Economics major. Many students who were committed to religion not only accepted the teachings and doctrines of their convictions, but lived their lives wholly under the teachings of their dogmas. Sakeena Mirza, a second year Arabic major, expressed her feelings; "Whether studying in Powell, eating at the Tree House, or praying behind Kerckhoff, all the actions of Muslims at UCLA have one common goal: to please God. Submission to God is not just our philosophy, but our way of life on and off campus." No matter what students believed or did in regards to religion in their lives, each person felt a need to express their beliefs in their own forms. These ranged from outward displays through clothing or jewelry to pray- ing at different times of the day and joining different religious groups on campus. Most were thankful to be given opportunities to express their religious views as they pleased. 98 Behind Kerckhoff Hall, a Muslim student kneels to pray. Whether congregated with others or alone, students chose to express their faith in many different ways. "I feel everyone has the right to their beliefs. The Constitution grants us this right.

The call for better policies on restaurant cleanliness came about after CBS aired footage filmed in the kitchens of several L.A. restaurants. Images of filthy food preparation, bug-infested kitchens, and dangerously undercooked meat were enough to spur public demand for better inspections by the Health Department. The county's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to establish a system that awarded points to restaurants after evaluations and required them to post their grades. The scores were based on a 100-point scale with corresponding letter grades. This was an improvement from the old system, in which the restaurants were simply rated as Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor. With conspicuous, color-coded letter grades posted in their windows, restaurants could no longer hide their inspection results from their patrons. "I think it's a great idea because it allows people to get a better idea of the cleanliness as it pertains to the food servicing environment, " noted Elvis Greer, a third year Political Science major. Many students agreed that the grades would influence their decisions on whether or not they would eat at a certain restaurant. Noodle Planet, a restaurant specializing in Asian cuisine in Westwood, was one of the establishments that did not get a good recommendation from the new system. Its original score ot 53 was enough to spark an out- cry of rumors amongst the Bruin population. "The rating system has definitely stopped me from eating at some places. Just look at what happened to Noodle Planet after they put up that 'F'. No one went there anymore, " remarked Autumn Francois, a sec- ond year Philosophy major. Although the restaurant temporarily lost almost a fourth of its busmess because of the low score. Noodle Planet was upgraded to an A grade shortly after making the corrections required by the Health Department. Several other restaurants also made improvements to their food service methods in order to be reevaluated for passing grades. Restaurant man- agers learned to incorporate better preparation techniques as well as prop- er kitchen and storage mamtenance. "I'm all for the system. It gives restaurants more incentive to be clean, because they know we're going to see their grades," explained Francois. This attitude prevailed in Westwood, where students and residents alike benefited from the new restaurant inspection system.

Dissatisfaction with appearance and self-image played a significant role in the lives of many college students. ^"'imoge story by Jennifer nazareno JetenrfiiiBO w p y hen you look at a fashion or body-building magazine, do you find yourself wishing you looked just like them, trying to find ways to improve your self-image? Or when you look in the mirror, do you catch yourself saying, "I need to lose weight," "My breasts aren't large enough," or "I wish I had a six-pack?" For some students, there was a tendency to point out the negative characteristics they found in themselves, as opposed to the positive aspects. In a world where diet pills, nonfat prod- ucts, exercise equipment and cosmetic surgery prevailed, many students felt the pressures to conform to what society deemed beautiful. "When I look in the mirror, I constantly draw negative aspects of myself and refrain from bringing out any positive qualities because I'm conscious about how others perceive me, " stated Donna Leslie Garcia, a third year Scxiology major. Students' self-image was often greatly influ- enced by how others viewed them. For some, the need to feel accepted by others and viewed a certain way became determining aspects of their behavior Students constantly felt the pressure to look a certain way, whether it be by having the perfect body, displaying flawless facial fea- tures or wearing the latest fashions. This sometimes led individuals to change themselves physically through having breast implants or plastic surgery, joining health clubs, or using diet pills as ways to improve their self-image. For many students, the pressure to look a certain way became so ingrained within them that it defined their daily lives. As Connie Tcheng, a fourth year English major stated, "Our society is so immersed in fashion consciousness that we don t even realize it's there. " Instead of yearning for the approval of others based on appearance, stressing about attaining the latest fashions, and constantly worrying about how to improve one's self-image, students had to learn to focus on the things which really mattered. Mane Rodriguez, a third year Political Science major expressed her views on self-image pressures. "People should be content with what God gave them. After all, in God's eyes, we're all perfect." Whether they chose to conform to society's expectations or to their own standards, students were challenged with the pressures of perfecting self-image. For most, it was just another diffkulty of college life that needed to be faced and hopefully overcome. self-image !107I The end of the twentieth century seems to have finally ^^^ brought man his solution for restoring virility. For many of "'" its users, Viagra renewed sexual potency in relationships, and it was generally offered at a reasonable cost. pholo by !m Tan 'pm^ y story by jane kirn P J^ roi rom ingesting a mixture of dried black ants and olive oil to lubri- cating the penis with melted fat from camel humps, man courageously attempted to find the perfect aphrodisiac to restore virility. In the twen- tieth century, man found a solution with Viagra, an oral treatment tor impotence. This $10 a dose pill seemed to be the answer for many peo- ple who wanted to maintain intimate relationships with their significant other. Yet like all things that appear to be too good to be true, Viagra brought its share of risks, adverse side effects, and inevitable lawsuits. In March of 1998, the FDA cleared Viagra for sale as the first effec- tive oral treatment for impotence. Immediately, the issue of insurance came up, as did lawsuits against those HMOs that refused to cover this miracle drug. Kaiser, the nation's largest HMO, said that offering national Viagra coverage would cost at least SI 00 million per year and refused to pay. But others like Medicaid, a state-federal health care pro- gram, had to cover Viagra because the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) said the law required the program to pay for all drugs prescribed for medical reasons. According to HHS, Viagra came under this category when prescribed properly by a doctor. "Medically necessary to have sex" — quite an interesting notion and essen- tially what HHS was saying. Lost somewhere along the lawsuits, the question "Is sex a right or a privilege?" seemed to be neglected. It must have been a right for HHS to so passionately pursue coverage on Viagra. It might also explain why birth control pills were not covered by insur- ance, although not everyone agreed. "Why should insurance pay for Viagra? I mean, it's not like you have to have sex, and if you wanted it that bad, I think you could come up with SIO per pill," commented Janet Pan, a first year Undeclared student. This proved an interesting point that many failed or chose not to see. As with ever)'thing, there were some hazards to using Viagra. For instance, when used with "poppers," protease inhibitors, and some antibi- otics, it caused precipitous drops in blood pressure and enhanced common side effects like headaches and flushing. Also, in conjunction with heart drugs, it caused strokes and even led to deaths. Despite those who were opposed to it, Viagra seemed to "take the nation by storm, " as it satisfied what some men had been yearning for a long time: the simple pleasures of life that so many take for granted. v.dagic .iii^ m^ ■^ The increasing popularity of Viagra sparlted controversy relating to issues such as health insurance.

Genetic engineering was not entirely new to us as more possibilities became feasible this year. From cosmetic changes to singling out certain diseases through the alteration of DNA, science attempted to "play God." After discovering that man is not the center ot the universe, humans have tried to control every inch of it, and as a consequence, now have a network shopping channel for human features. The main question that stemmed from this discovery was more ethi- cal than scientific. Is it right to clone humans, to condition a person into being someone else.' And would that person essentially be human.' To live one's life as another is not something students would have wanted. "I would never have my child cloned to fit the perfect physical traits of what I wanted. People who do that are raising an image and not a child. Doing that would mean that I'm not accepting what God had planned for my child and in a sense defying Him, " said Helen Chen, a first year Undeclared student. "I would avoid cloning at all costs. 1 don't like the idea of 'playing God,' and It IS something that should be avoided altogether. There have been many issues related to cloning, like selling organs on the black market, children find- ing out that their parents are not who they think they are, and a lot of legali- ties that could have been avoided if cloning were not possible," stated Chong Ahn, a first year Physiological Science major. There may be benefits to cloning, such as cures for cancer, Alzheimer's dis- ease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart failure, and growing embryonic stem cells to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. The main argument for cloning was the idea of a second chance at life. Though absolute cures probably won't be produced until the mid-2 1st century, pro-cloning organizations such as RESOLVE of Northern California, the Libertarian pxjlit- ical party. Clone Rights United front, Raelian Religion, and Gay Today, fought to keep cloning legal. If cloning wasn't given a chance, how could these cures be brought into the world? Many students had mixed opionions on the idea of cloning. At a research university such as UCLA, students understood the benefits of eliminating genetic diseases, and some thought saving DNA tor the future was interesting, but the issue of cloning remained a sensitive subject. genetic engineering nil 'Weekend M A student reviews the newspaper for the latest information on financial trends. The global economic crisis that began in Asia was a cause for concern among many Internation- al students. ^°*ct story by eunha cho I ^J^^ t all started with a currency crisis in Thailand, July 1997, which extended throughout most of Asia, and then through Russia to the frag- ile economies of Latin America. Thailand's devalued currency, overlooked as a financial disturbance in a remote part of the globe, resulted from falling exports. Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and South Korea soon followed. Foreign investment capital going into these countries via bank loans, direct investment, and stock purchases was withdrawn due to the threat of bad management. Japan, economic giant of the '80s, was hit next because its trade with the rest of Asia became limited, pushing it into its worst postwar recession. The domino effect was called the "Asian crisis," but before long threatened to be a global economic meltdown. When Russian and Latin American markets were thrashed in early summer, almost half of the world economy was affected. Even the U.S. was hit. Our stock market showed significant instability when the Dow Jones Index plummeted a record-setting 554 points in one day, October 17, 1997. The pattern repeated a year later on August 31, 1998, when it again fell 512 points. This was a more potent force than ever imagined, threatening to crash the entire world's economy in a domino effect. The slump in U.S. stock prices reflected a growing recognition that corporate profits might suffer from weaker exports and lower earnings of international companies in foreign markets. The U.S. trade deficit grew as its exports dropped and other countries tried to recover by exporting more to the U.S. Layoff measures were taken in response to the econo- my's ominous signs, while the government tried to maintain consumer confidence by lowering interest rates to promote consumer spending. Although the impending global economic disaster seemed remote to UCLA's campus, some students were directly affected by this economic plight. For many international students whose tuition and living expens- es were sent from abroad, the depreciation ot local currency meant raised costs. This resulted in paying two or even three times as much money to obtain the same dollar amount, and when tuition for international stu- dents came near 525,000, it caused serious predicaments. Unfortunately, student visas made it illegal to work in the U.S. to defray the costs. Some students had to sell personal possessions, live with generous friends to pay very low rent, or as a last resort, return to their native countries. As the year progressed, a few of the nations in economic distress stabilized their economies and showed signs of recovery, but the hardships for affected students were only partially alleviated. Their futures would be decided by governmental policies, while their expectations remained hopeful that the temporary hardship would subside in the near future. .giobal econQmlc .119! »f/Wiie WirH P«f; inton A story by anita chu ►Ithough it was difficult to predict what kind of impression William they did not want to hear anymore about Bill and Monica.

It seemed The scandal of the year made the American President not only a national Americans were not fazed by a little indiscretion in the White House. leader, but also the main character in an unfolding soap opera. The major players of this political scandal were President Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, and Linda Tripp, and the ordeal left scars with each of these individuals. Whether through analysis by political pundits or mockery by late night talk show hosts, the field was left wide open for Washington to be criticized and ridiculed. When the Starr Report was released via the Internet, the public gained free access to the juicy details of Clinton's sex life and acts of infidelity. The novelty of the situation prompted the most widespread Internet traffic ever. However, the only lasting effect that the Starr Report had on most people was a smirk at the mention of a cigar or a blue Gap dress. While newscasts and articles droned on and on about this hot topic, the American people slowly began to lose interest. Near the end, Americans returned their focus on Clinton the President, not Clinton the Adulterer. The impeachment hearing and release of the Lewinsky and Tripp audio tapes following the Starr Report didn't garner nearly as much attention as expected. Despite the accusational, intrusive look into Bill Clinton's UCLA students were particularly lenient toward Clinton's personal mistakes and mainly just cared about his performance as a President. "I can't believe people are becoming all judgmental about something that is a private matter. The media has blown this whole thing out of proportion and I for one, don't care about what goes behind closed doors as long as smart legislation is being made," expressed Audrey Shiomi, a fifth year Japanese major. People had their own opinions on the scandal but the general sentiment remained the same. The majority of students believed that the impeachment of Bill Clinton would be highly unlikely. "This whole scandal arose with the Republicans trying to get more seats in Washington. As the November elections proved, their plan backfired, and now this is just a waste of time and taxpayer's money," said fourth year Communication Studies and Political Science major. Page Kishiyama. For many months, the Clinton scandal was the only discussion coming out of Washington. However, the American people made it clear that ife and excessive commentaries, the American people made it clear that they believed a President was only human and free to make mistakes. jia issues »M«*lf»K«»e ^_pLesic ''■'v:i.'

Jll An RA tries to prepare for an upcoming exam, RAs, PAs, and SHAs often found it difficult to concentrate on school work because they were always on duty. I housecall BY Macdalena Valenzuela Life in the dorms was an overwhelming experience for most freshmen. To help ease them into this and into college life, the expertise of Resident Advisors (RAs), Program Assistants (PAs), and Student Health Advocates (SHAs) came into play. RAs lived in the dorms and were on-call for residents who had questions or just needed someone to talk to. PAs were responsible for planning various dorm activities throughout the academic year in addition to organizing community service projects. SHAs assisted residents with health problems while providing medicine for residents who were ill and giving advice to the residents regarding sex and sexually transmitted diseases. RAs, PAs, and SHAs took on their roles because they wanted to help new students adjust to college life. They cared about their residents and their well being, both physically and emotionally. "I was interested in producing people who were interested in helping the community' and other students. Many of my residents became RAs, PAs and SHAs. Having my residents involved in the comjnunity was the best part, because it proved that my hard work paid off," explained Manuel Martinez, a fifth year Political Science student and RA, when asked why he applied for the position. Even though at times the dedicated students who filled the roles of RAs, PAs, or SHAs felt that they had little privacy and a hectic schedule, they did enjoy their jobs. They learned valuable lessons that couldn't be taught in a classromm. They learned to live and interact with people from different backgrounds, languages and cultures. In the end, they were able to form friendships and a family environment within the residence halls. 142 rasidentini life RAs.

Do I want to live in a double or a triple? A themed floor or house perhaps? A residence hall, residential suite or Sunset Village? What about the costs? All of these questions ran through their minds as they began to make one of the most important decisions they would have to face regarding their UCLA residential experience. Each dorm building offered its own unique options, ranging from the fitness floor to the health care house, where various activities or programs relating to the theme were available to the residents. Doubles and triples were options available in each type of dorm set-up as well, although this year many more first years were forced to live in triples due to the influx of residents. The residence halls were home to more than four thousand residents. Students had either one or two roommates in a cramped room, just large enough to house the basic furniture for each occupant. Communal restrooms were found in each wing ot the resi- dence halls, where all of the residents of the same sex shared the facilities. One ot the disadvantages of living in these dorms was the fact that residents had no control over the temperature in their rooms. "We would just open our windows or use fans," exclaimed Shahera Kopadia, a first year Undeclared student. In Hitch and Saxon, the residential suites at the very top of the hill, students faced mostly the same predicament as those in the residence halls, but rather than a commu- nal restroom, they shared the restroom with just those in their suite. The perk of living in the suites was a personal living room area, although the long hike up the hill and the resulting seclusion of the suites made some students opt for other set-ups. The last on-campus living option was the newest addition - Sunset Village, which was constructed just a few years ago. Although these were the most pricey of the three residential options, the extra benefits included private bathrooms and individual control of air-conditioning. Jennifer Lu, a second year Geography major and resident of Sunset, explained, "I like the fact that you have the privacy that you need. In Sunset the people are really friend- ly and very social, although many people in the residence halls say differently. When you need to you can always go into your room and not have to bother with all the ruckus." Kevin Reed, a second year Psychology major, voiced otherwise. "I would recommend that all first year students live in the the residence halls because it's a lot more social." No matter which dorm students decided to reside in, what mattered most was the sense of community and the friendships that were made within the living environment. "I would recommend that first year students live in the residence halls because it's a lot more social." -kevin reed, second year psychology major communa ivin BY Catherine Calleja Jiving types JiS serious study BY Maureen Lamorena Honstantly tempted by the inherently social nature of the residence halls. Where could a young Bruin possi- bly run when some serious study time was needed, away from the temptations of meeting people and just hanging-out? Off-campus areas were relatively popular among some students. Trekking to the local coffee shops in Westwood or West Los Angeles provided a cozy and quiet atmosphere. Also, bookstores like Borders and Barnes and Noble offered minimal distractions compared to those posed by the dorms. Although studying off-campus was not a practical or time efficient option for those that did not have cars, a number of other options were available. Convenience was paramount on campus. The big study lounges in Covel Commons and other dorm buildings were popular locations, as were the smaller study lounges locat- ed on every floor in the dorms and every house in Sunset Village. Because the lounges were easily accessi- ble to those living in the dorms, many people flocked to them to get business taken care of. However, because of their increasing popularity, these lounges were easily crowded, which inevitably led to disruptive noise. In search for more privacy, some students opted to confine themselves to their rooms. "Studying in my room is effective because other places are usually too crowded or too noisy. I'm the only one in there most of the time so I can concentrate a lot better," declared Amy Lai, a second year Business Economics major. The comfort and solitude of a dorm room were usually perceived as positive aspects of studying in one's room, but they also acted as obstructions to studying. The ringing of the telephone, the neighbors who want- ed to stop in to chat, the television shows, and video games could easily disturb students. Additionally, the environment was a little too comfortable because students were close to their beds, which tempted them to take extensive breaks rather than just power naps. While some disliked staying on-campus to study because of the inconvenience it posed, others actually preferred to study on campus grounds. Campus offered a combination of peace and beautiful scenery for students who liked to study outdoors during the daytime. Libraries such as Powell and the University Research Library were quiet hide-aways, while the noisier coffeehouses in Kerckhoff, Luvalle, and Northern Lights were just as popular. Studying on campus, particularly during exam weeks, proved to be extremely beneficial for students because it forced them to study while limiting opportunities for socializing. As Kapir Singh, a second year Microbiology and Molecular Genetics and Business Economics double major put it, "I like to study in a lot of different places like in my friend's room because it's a lot more fun . . . but when I really need to get something done, I go to Powell!" I % lAL residentinl life _evenls ML 148 residentinl life Located in the bustling environment of the residence halls, recreation rooms were an extension of the ubiquitous social scene that permeated the dorms. The rec rooms were utilized as a tool by a multitude of students to meet new people, socialize, work out, or play. Hedrick, Reiber, and Dykstra Halls each had their own versions of recreation rooms while Sproul Hall renovated its old dining hall into an activity center. Although not all ot the dorms sported their own rec rooms, all residents were welcome at each of these rooms. Activity was certainly apparent, with the various cardiovascular equipment, weight machines, and exercise mats at the disposal of students. These made the recreation room an appropriate place to maintain a healthy lifestyle without the inconvenience of walking down to the Wooden Center or other places to work out. Using the machines in the dorm rec rooms was preferred by many. "It's convenient, and no matter what the weather is, I can stay in shape," said second year Business Economics major Grace Teng. While some traversed to the recreation rooms to make use of the machines, organizations such as the Korean Student Association and Hui 'O Imiloa, the Hawaiian Club, killed two birds with one stone by using the rooms to hold dance practices for upcoming events. The rec rooms were also crowded with Bruins playing pool, ping-pong, and air hockey. With a number of these game tables available, fierce competition was an incentive for residents to get together and interact with those from other floors or even other halls. These games acted as a mag- net to bring different people together not only for the competition, but also for entertainment dur- ing study breaks. "I basically come down here to relieve all ot my pent up stress, ' commented first year Undeclared student Alex Suh. In tact, the peak hours of the recreation rooms were from 1 1:()0PM to 1:00 AM, when dorm residents took study breaks to relax their bodies and minds. Not only were the rec rooms a place to socialize and exercise, but they were often used as study areas. This was most obvious in Sproul Hall because the tables from the old dining hall were still in place and adequate for getting some studying done. The rec rooms as study areas were a good combination of both social and academic resources, especially when the rooms were not too busy or rowdy. All m all, the rec rooms available to dorm residents gave them the valuable opportunity to not only work out their bodies and minds, but also to have fun during their first years of college. recreatlonairGI IGT BY Maureen Lamorena jBaeatLon -caoms 149 JM. residepliaUifa- C ill roommateriVSl TV RV FpIM RaTTA77I •• BY Erin Rattazzi o W One of the biggest challenges of college life was learning to live with another person. Students had to learn to adjust to all the habits and idiosyncrasies of roommates. Sure, incom- ing students filled out a roommate questionnaire, but sometimes you couldn't help but ques- tion the extent to which they were taken into consideration when roommates were matched. In an attempt to stop problems before they started, RAs had roommates fill out contracts that concerned their behavior in the dorms. "We have made agreements about things and filled out our roommate contract. We get along pretty well. We aren't the best of friends, but we don't have any problems," said Madeleine Low, an Undeclared first year resident of Dykstra Hall. Having a roommate was either the best or worst part of one's years in college. For those who got stuck with a psycho roommate, living with them turned out to be a 24-hour night- mare. 'My roommate and I have completely different personalities, habits and friends. He doesn't like any of the things that I do," said Jeff Carlberg, a first year Business Economics major. Others, however, were fortunate enough to become good friends with their roommates. "I love both of my roommates. They're such beautiful, smart people. We are three of the most different people. You wouldn't think to match us up, but it has worked sooo well. I just love them! I feel more complete when I am with them," happily stated Aimee Miyabe, an Undeclared first year student. This kind of glowing report proved that roommates could become the best of friends and even elect to room together another year. Whether their experiences were bad or good, learn- ing to compromise one's personal habits with another was something people never forgot.

Although on-campus housing provided an accomodating and even convenient way of living independent from parents, it wasn't quite the same as living in an apart- ment. Perhaps it was the idea of providing for yourself and making your own decisions that appealed to so many. From choosing which apartment to live in to what to make for dinner, many thought that apartment life certainly had its benefits. "In an apart- ment, you can experience life as a true individual," expressed third year Chemical Engineering major Lawrance Liou. When deciding to make the move into an apartment, many were too enamored with the concept of actually living off-campus to realize all of the problems and added respon- sibilities that came with having their own place. Third year Physiological Science major Jenny White commented, "I like the freedom of living in an apartment, but there are more problems that come with it, like manangers that never get anything done." "For awhile, our apartment was pretty ghetto. Our sink was clogged, our dishwash- er leaked, water dripped down the walls from the apartment above, and we had two real- ly big holes in the wall," said second year English major Lauren Smith. Numerous problems that students didn't have to worry about when living in the dorms were the apparent down sides to living off-campus. "It's very difficult to plan out dinner every week when you have to worry about class, whereas in the dorms, they pro- vided it all for you," shared Vito Panicaro, a third year Psychology major. However, despite any problems that may have surfaced, students still viewed apart- ment life as ideal. So what if you had to cook and clean for yourself? So what if you had phone and electric bills? Although the thought of added responsibility would make some turn away, many thought it was worth the sacrifices they had to make, and it was a welcome alternative to living in the dorms. "I like apartment life, " shared Vivian Koo, a fourth year Psychology major. "You actually feel settled. In the dorms, you're given space but you still have to share a small cramped room. An apartment is a lot more com- fortable and it becomes your home." "In an apartment, you can experience life as a true individual." -lawrance liou, third year chemical engi- neering major ideal 1 1 VI n BY Olivia manzano npnrtment A crowd gathers to hang out in a cramped dorm r Such noisy commotion often made studying in the dorms distracting and nearly impossible. 0am Maiseilh 15i residential life I i Leaving home offered freedom and independence, and students eagerly looked for- ward to the excitement of college lite. However, living at school turned out to be a stark contrast to the comforts of home. Gone was Mom's home cooking and other such com- forts. In college, students had to respect the wishes of one, two, or more roommates. Messy living quarters and inconsiderate roommates were just a few of the pet peeves cited by students. One of the most common complaints concerned the conduct ot overnight guests, espe- cially when one roommate had a significant other who constantly came over to share the already cramped living space. "The worst thing about living in the dorms is that there is no privacy when your girl- friend sleeps over," smirked Casey Walker. "Well, also when people play their bad music really loudly," added Walker, a first year English major, whose girlfriend was a frequent overnight guest in his dorm room. Another annoyance among residents was the inability to do homework either in their rooms or in the study lounges, which more often than not tended to be social hangouts. "I don't attempt to do work in the dorms. I don't even try half the time. It's impos- sible. I usually study in Kerckhoff Hall," said Shiloh Krieger, a first year Psychology major. While most people were relatively successful in adjusting to dorm life and actually learning to enjoy it, others never got used to it. Differences among roommates some- times played a role in determining the happiness of residents. "Dorm life is interesting. Trying to study when it's noisy is hard, because people are always talking. But, lack of privacy is the worst thing. A huge issue for my room is a dif- ference in sleeping habits. My roommate always sleeps," complained Tom Scopazzi, a first year Microbiology and Molecular Genetics major. "Cleanliness is a big thing also, like taking out the garbage. You'd be surprised how high we can stack that baby. It's a showdown betweeen all of us to see who will do it first," Scopazzi continued, with a laugh. While often difficult, the experience of living in the dorms was an integral part ot college life and remained one of the fondest memories for many students. ''Dorm life is interest- ing. Trying to study wiien it's noisy is hard, because people are always talking. But lack of privacy is the worst thing.'' -torn scopazzi, fresh- man microbiology and molecular genetics major dormdistractions BY Erin Rattazzi pet peeves^ Jii n ^^ BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 6:00 a.m. Your alarm clock has just gone oft, and you drag your- self out of bed to get ready even though your first class doesn't start until 9:00 a.m. and you didn't get to sleep until 1:00 a.m. the night before.

Sound like a good way to start your day.'' For many students, this kind ot morning was the only option. Although commuting did offer certain benefits, there were difficulties that all commuters dealt with, whether coming from Santa Monica or Orange County. The most universal problem commuters dealt with was parking. Even disregarding expensive permit prices of almost S400 a year, getting parking for students was near hopeless. "I wouldn't mind commuting so much except that getting parking at UCLA is almost impossible, and alternative forms ot parking are extremely inconvenient, " said Sahar Naghibi, a fourth year Neuroscience major. Parking problems tied into another difficulty presented by commuting: sleep. Not only having to battle heavy traffic, getting up early to do so cut into precious sleep time. Bismarck Garcia, a fourth year Psychology major complained, "Waking up early in the morning is a trick. It sucks because I like to get my sleep, and even it it does- n't take me a full hour and a half to get to school, I have to allow extra time to wait tor the shuttle to take me to campus trom Lot 32." An additional challenge that commuters had to face was the social aspect. While most freshmen in the dorms or apartments were going crazy with their newfound freedom, com- muters often found themselves living in the same strict environment as when they were in high school. "Living at home was hard at first because I didn't get the same freedom that other college treshmen were enjoying, " Naghibi said. Commuters also had to meet most ot their friends through class. Garcia explained, "It's kind of tough meeting people your first two years because you're usually taking GE classes in a lot of different departments. " However, despite many inconveniences with commuting, there were benefits as well. Even though commuting meant high parking fees, that cost was more than offset by the savings from not paying for rent or groceries. Furthermore, the thought of living in a crowded dorm or even having a roommate was unappealing to many commuters, and the privacy ottered by living at home was much preferred. "Commuting is nice because the cost of living at home is much cheaper, and having a room to myself is nice," said Doug Murata, an Undeclared first year student. Another plus of liv- ing at home was the home-cooked food. Living at home meant no worries about dorm tood and a greater variety too. Garcia said, "The food is a lot better because you don't have to deal with the same stuff everyday. You can eat whatever you want." Commuting had its share of pros and cons, like every other way of living. Despite the problems, its multiple benefits keep it a viable and sometimes even preferable form ot stu- dent lite.

If residents ever wondered how these programs originated, they should have stopped by their building government meetings. Each residence hall, residential suite and Sunset Village maintained its own government as well as a lull stall that implemented programs for its residents. Dorm government was divided into different subsections, from the big association meetings right down to the smaller and more personal floor/house governments. Each association was led by a fearless leader, better known as the association president. Hernane Tabay, third year Electrical Engineering major and Sunset Village President explained, "I am involved in residence hall government because I teel it is a great way to be involved in UCLA. We help plan programs tor our residents, as well as develop lead- ership skills at the same time. It teels good when I hear from others that they enjoyed an event, and you know that you had a hand in planning and implementing that event. It is also a way to meet and work with great people." In addition to each dorm association, the On-Campus Housing Council provided a way in which the entire Hill could program events where their residents could meet and mingle. OCHC was a collaboration formed by representatives from the separate associ- ations and responsible tor holding many events throughout the school year, including the highly popular Casino Night and All-Hill Formal. Although participating in government took up quite a bit of time, it was definitely worthwhile. Mignonne Ng, a second year Civil Engineering major explained, "House government is a great way to meet the people in your house and really get involved. You are able to form many friendships and in turn provide the residents within your house some sort of community." Students were able to extend networks with people trom dif- ferent floors, houses and even residence halls. Whatever the reason, members of different resident hall governments came away with a sense ol camaraderie with their fellow residents. Being a part ot a government associ- ation within one's living quarters proved to be a precious experience, especially in such a large population of students. ml residential liff learn about getting involved were interested had plan ai^l^ticipate In residence dorm government 159. i ^ ^h Residents line'iup for hamburgers and hot dogs at a floor ^B barbecue.

Each floor funded student resident adminis- trators and program assistants to set up these activities which ranged from the wild to the traditional. One popular activity was the floor barbecue. Members of the floor welcomed the alternative to dorm food provided by the Office of Residential Life. This pro- vided an excellent opportunity tor members of the floor to meet and socialize in a different environment. "It was great getting to know people on my floor that I had never talked to before" said Laurie Au, a second year Business Economics major. Some floors were able to take advantage of the proximity to Burbank studios by going to the filming ol sit-coms. This type of activity doubled as a fund rais- er, since most tapings subsidized their audiences. The most popular shows to attend were "Whose Line is It?" and of course, "The Price Is Right." Karaoke Night was also popular in the floor lounges. Floors sang to the tunes ot oldies as well as trendy new songs. For some, it was a chance to show off their talent. For others, it was more of a humbling experience. Another perennial favorite was Casino Night. Students were given fake chips to gamble at tables offering craps, roulette and blackjack. At the end of the evening, students could exchange their "winnings" for chances at prizes. Commemorating Martin Luther King Day, students of the residence halls saw a speech competition on race relations among members of the dorms. Some of the school's most talented orators spoke in front of the crowds of students and hon- orary judges in the Northwest Auditorium. The myriad ot student activities ottered by the residence halls eased the tran- sition from home life for many students. Students who participated adjusted bet- ter to the rigors of university life. By relating to their fellow students, residents tound that even the gigantic UCLA campus could be a cozy place to live.

It was a rise to the top; it was a plum- met do the bottom. More than anything, the 1998-1999 season was the ride ot a lifetime for the UCLA football team. Building on a ten-game winning streak, the Bruins began their quest for a spot in the national championship game ranked eighth in the polls. They started convincingly against the Longhorns. UCLA defense denied Heisman candidate Ricky Williams any points during the first half while Cade McNown, also a Heisman candidate, launched an aerial attack. In the next big test for the Bruins, the University of Arizona fought aggressively with the Bruins, holding McNown to only two passing touchdowns in the game. They lead 28-24 with 6:15 left in the third quarter. However, the Bruins capitalized on key turnovers and great runs to score 28 points in a seven minute span. With senior fullback Jermaine Lewis on suspension, freshman DeShaun Foster proved a threat through the early part of the game, moving the ball 118 yards in 20 carries, while fel- low freshman Kevin Brown scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to clinch the victory, UCLA's first in Tempe for 10 years. UCLA had little time to celebrate their rout of Arizona, with 11th ranked Oregon scheduled the next week. In that game, Oregon scored 24 unanswered points to take a 31-24 lead by the fourth quarter. Finally spurred into action, the offense retaliated, with two touchdowns that seemed to seal the game with 2:26 left. Never outdone, Oregon's offense scored quickly to tie. The heroics of Brendon Ayambadejo quickly stopped the Oregon defense and Chris Sailer redeemed earlier failure by kicking the winning field goal. With the exception of a rocky game against Stanford, UCLA plowed through the rest of their schedule, including a 34-17 rout of cross-town rivals USC. The last stop for the star-crossed Bruins was in Miami to play the Hurricanes in a resched- uled game with national championship implications. Disaster set in quickly as Bruin fans caught up in Fiesta mania watched their defense crumble, unable to tackle Edgerrin James or defend the passes of Scott Covington. The Bruins, who staged several last-minute comebacks throughout to keep their perfect season going, ran out of miracles in the Orange Bowl. Despite the heroics of Cade McNown who threw 5 touchdowns and 513 yards, the effort was not enough against the Hurricanes. Because of the weak ending, many have overlooked the accomplisments of the Bruins, but all will admit that the Bruin team deserves credit for get- ting the campus and the country to take notice and making it a wild, fun ride to the very end.

Unfortunately, several factors prevented the Bruins from winning such a prize. Although touted by many as the number one offense in the nation, even the prowess of quarterback Cade McNown was not enough to overcome Wisconsin. The Badgers' 38-31 vic- tory was due mainly to their star player, tailback Ron Dayne. At 253 pounds, Dayne proved to be nearly unstoppable. He rushed for a total of 246 yards at the end of the game. 'Ron Dayne's a truck. You can't stop him," stated UCLA offensive guard Kris Farris. The UCLA Bruins showed tremendous determination and strong effort throughout the game. Wide receiver Danny Farmer played consistently well, with 7 receptions that earned him 142 yards and one touchdown. Head coach Bob Toledo called on some well-choreo- graphed trick plays as well. On one such play punter and place kicker Chris Sailer performed a fake-punt and passed for a first down. Unfortunately, the play was a few yards short and resulted in the Badgers' possession of the ball. Two critical errors cost the Bruins the Rose Bowl game; one of which was a pass by McNown that was picked off by Wisconsin's Jamar Fletcher, and the other was a Bruin tum- ble that led to a turnover. Nevertheless, the Bruins fought Wisconsin and its large defense to the very end. The game ranked as one of the highest scoting in Rose Bowl histor>'. Although the Bruins did not return with a Rose Bowl victory, UCLA was still able to prove that its football team is among the best in the nation and that this tra- dition of excellence will continue for many years to follow.

This year the team hoped to match the success of the previous year by defendmg their league title and advancing in the NCAA tournament. Although they had depth at every position, the team was young and had lost seven seniors, including Pac-10 plaver of the year Tracy Arkenberg. However, this did not cause even a hint ot hesitation among the eager members of the team, who main- tained a steady stream of victories. Alter barreling through the early games against Navy and Cal State Pomona, the Bruins were upset by San Diego State in a 1-0 defeat. The Aztecs scored midway through the second half, and although the Bruins surged in the final minutes, they came up short. The University of San Francisco Soccer Tournament gave the team their confidence back in convincing victories against Loyola and UNCC. Riding that confidence, the Bruins played undefeated through the next nine games, shutting out six of those opponents. In the league opener against Washington, freshman forward Staci Duncan scored and assisted in a 2-0 vic- tory. In the next game against Washington State, sophomore midfielder Tracy Milburn scored two of the three goals late in the first half of the shutout. The Bruins then suffered their first Pac-10 loss to California in a heartbreaking 2-1 loss. UCLA got on the scoreboard early when Duncan scored in the fifth minute off of assists from Milburn and defender Skylar Little. Milburn came close several more times but was not able to capitalize; Cal stayed in the game and scored the tying goal with minutes left in the game.

Unfortunately, the dreams of progress through the NCAA were cut short on the UCLA home field by Bringham Young University. UCLA dominated the game, possessing the ball tor most ot the first half and outshooting the Cougars 17-13. However, a good transition in the first halt gave the Lulies of BYU the edge. Dumbfounded, the Bruins spent the rest of the game trying to play catch- up with offensives against the talented Cougar defense.

A new era of Women's Soccer akin to that created by tormer coach Fawcett may not be that far oft. .women s soccer 177 HOUORS \>u e-rii\ fAMiAiii Like /nany other Bruin teams this year, Men's Soccer was led primarily by its young but experienced returnees. The dedication and skill of each team member was responsible for leading the team through a season of victories on its way to the NCAA playoffs. "The team has improved from last year just because the young players have a lot more experience. The knowledge of knowing what it takes to win a title is invaluable," stated head coach Sigi Schmid, last season's NSCAA Coach of the Year. Senior forward Seth George repeated as a first-team selection, leading UCLA with 15 goals, eight assists, eight game-winning goals and 38 points. He finished his illustrious UCLA career ranked first in career game-winning goals, fifth in career goals scored, tenth in career assists, and sixth in career points. Additionally, George finished third in voting for the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Player ot the Year Award and was named the MPSF Co-Player of the Year. Junior midfielder Sasha Victorine returned to the All-Far West team, earning first-team honors in 1998. UCLA's team co-captain scored two goals and seven assists this season and was also a finalist for the MAC Award. Victorine earned second-team acclaim in 1996 as a freshman before sitting out most of 1997 with a knee injury. UCLA's first-team picks included a pair of sopho- mores. Defender Carlos Bocanegra and goalkeeper Nick Rimando made their first appearances on the All- Far West team. Bocanegra led a UCLA defense which shut out 12 opponents in 1998. On offense, he scored two goals and five assists. Rimando totaled eight solo shutouts this season and shared shutouts in three other games. Additionally, he held a goals against average of 0.58, the fourth-lowest mark in UCLA history. Senior midfielder Tom Poltl earned second-team honors for the second consecutive year. Poltl, UCLA's team co-captain, scored two goals and tour assists. In addition to these titles, George earned first-team NSCAA AU-American honors, while Rimando earned second-team acclaim, and Victorine earned third-team honors. The three Bruin Ail-Americans represented the largest number of Bruin All-Americans from one team since 1991. Not only were the players recognized for their individual talents, but they played success- fully as a cohesive team as well. Men's Soccer garnered many awards and found many new fans this season. Overall, it was a tremendously successful season for the fighting Bruins. <^mtQf:<:i DATE OPPONENT SCORE 9/1 CS DoMiNCUEZ Hills W6-0 9/6 South Carolina L2-1 9/9 Davidson College W3-0 9/13 Fresno State W3-0 9/17 GONZACA W 1-0 9/20 Univ. of San Francisco W 6-0 9/25 Univ. of San Diego W2-0 10/4 LMU W2-1 10/9 Stanford W 1-0 10/11 California W5-0 10/16 UC Irvine W2-1 10/18 CS Fullerton L2-1 10/24 CS Sacramento W3-0 10/30 St. Mary's W2-0 11/1 Indiana W2-1 11/6 UC Santa Barbara W3-2 11/8 Cal Poly SLO W2-0 11/13 Washington 11/15 Oregon State W 1-0 11/22 Fresno State W2-1 11/29 Creichton-NCAA Playoffs L 2-0 Ml sport.s UCLA Bruin junior Midfielder Sasha Victorine lakes the ball up the field looking for an opportunity to cross.

The 1998 Cross Country teams experienced a successful season due to their hard work and dedication to their sport. The Men's team was composed of fairly young runners, but had a few experienced seniors who led the team. Seven of the UCLA Men qualified to compete in the NCAA Western Regional Qualifying Meet. The team placed ninth but failed to qualify as a team tor the NCAA meet. UCLA's top male runner, senior Mark Hauser, earned an mdividual spot at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. He placed 24th at the meet after runnmg in the 10,000m race, which earned him All-American honors. Hauser faced an extremely tough field of runners and a difficult course but still managed to come out on top. The NCAA Championship was his last collegiate race. Coach Bob Larsen remarked, "I'm really pleased with Hauser's performance; he's really come a long way and ran very well." With Hauser qualifying for the NCAA meet, this year marked the fifth straight season that a Bruin runner has participated in the NCAA. Last year's Mebrahtom Keflezighi was the first runner in Brum history to win the NCAA title. The Women's team was also powered by fairly young runners who brought the team into the NCAA qualifying meet ranked 28th. After a disappointing showing at the Pac-10 Championships, the team rebounded to place fifth at the qualifying meet. This placed them in the NCAA meet as one of the thirteen at-large teams chosen from around the country, mak- ing their first NCAA appearance in ten years. The Brum Women placed 28th with LICLA's top runner, sophomore Kelly Cohn, finishing 60th. Head coach Eric Peterson commented, "I was very pleased with Cohn, she came to run well and she did. She's been our leader all year long and showed it." The race allowed the team to gain valuable experience which will give them a head start next year toward becoming one at the top.

"If we're going to be successful, we have to play as a team on both offense and defense," stated UCLA Men's Water Polo head coach Guy Baker. Entering the 1998 season, the team looked to increase its performance from the preceding season. And at the close of the season, expectations were met as the squad surpassed the sixth place ranking that had been bestowed upon it the pre- cursory year by finishing third in the national poll. The Men's Water Polo squad remained a fairly young team, having lost only three veteran players from the previous year. However, having a young team did not necessarily mean draw- backs; in fact, Coach Baker claimed, "Our young players are get- ting older and team roles are more clearly defined. We won't be sorting things out during the season the way we did last year. We are also playing better as a team." The experience and maturity that the young squad had accumulated in the 1997 season proved to be the key to the team's success this season. Associated with the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) and reputed as the tough- est and most challenging water polo league in the country, the Bruins maintained an intense- ly demanding schedule. Though unable to earn a NCAA championship, the squad held its own against a number of difficult contenders within the MPSF, while three Bruin members earned honors by being chosen to play on the All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation squads. Sophomore Sean Kern earned a second team selection, and senior co-captain Sam Grayeli and sophomore Adam Wright were awarded third team honors. Although an NCAA championship was beyond its reach this year, the team surmounted within the rankings and verifiably ranked third in the polls, boasting three All-MPSF mem- bers. By focusing on team play and building off of past experiences, the 1998 Men's Water Polo team validated the hard work of its members, and was thus rewarded with a truly suc- cessful season.

Although the season got oft to a rough start due to losses in the first six matches, the squad finished with an impres- sive 12 victories in the last 14 matches, an overall record ot 16-12, and a third place finish in the Pac-10 Conference. The team had an undeniably challenging schedule as 1 1 ot its oppo- nents were ranked in the USA Today/ AVCA Top 25 poll. In addition to playing formidable opponents in the Pac-10 such as Stanford and USC, the Bruins faced a number of volleyball powerhouses as well, including Penn State and Florida. Moreover, the team had the opportu- nity to participate in the Rainbow Wahine Classic in Honolulu and in the Chicago Challenge. A potent combination ot experienced returnees, a No. 2 ranked recruiting class in the nation, and excellent coaching all contributed to UCLA's achievement, as the team ended its season with a No. 15 ranking. Despite the loss of three very talented seniors last year, returnees Chaska Potter, Jennifer Wittenburg, and Celeste Peterson provided the team with their outside hitting skills while Tamika Johnson, Amy Nihipali, and Elisabeth Bachman boosted the team with powerful blocking in the middle. Furthermore, highly touted treshmen Ashley Bowles and Kristee Porter made significant additions to the team, as witnessed in their selections to the All Freshman Team and Porter's accolade of Freshman ot the Year. Bowles, Porter, and sophomore Bachman were also named to the All Pac-10 Conference Team. The tact that two UCLA rookies were named to the All Pac-10 Team in the same year was unprecedented. Yet another heavily recruited freshman, setter Erika Selsor, was an integral component of the 1998 Bruin squad. The direction and experience of Head Coach Andy Banachowski working with the returnees and freshmen was responsible for much of the young team's success. In his 32nd sea- son coaching the UCLA Women's Volleyball team, Banachowski was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career, bringing the team through another victorious season.

Far and away, he had the best recruit- ing class in the nation, with talent originating from throughout the U.S. and even Holland. Yet for all these young stars, there was a lack ot veteran leadership. The team's two sophomore starters. Earl Watson and Baron Davis, would have to step up and show the rest ail they had learned during their tumultuous first year. Moreover, Lavin would have to mold his talent- ed team mto a mature, cohesive group alter many had grown accustomed to being one-man shows. Unconvincing victories in exhibition and losses in the Puerto Rico tour- nament to Maryland and Kentucky revealed the team's immaturity and inability to gel. Lavin had a difficult time in seeing to it that the Bruins maintained pressure throughout the game. Often, the Bruins would build up a big lead m the first halt only to have the opposition come back late in the game. Pac-10 play was especially contentious this year. Arizona, Stantord, and UCLA were all ranked in top 10 spots. Moreover, the rest of the league had respectable programs in their own right. Every game was a struggle for the Bruins. Play opened at home against league rival Arizona. UCLA came out with a vengeance and dominated the tirst halt, shooting 53% and taking a 40-24 lead, only to be outscored by nine points in the second halt. Bruins Dan Gadzuric and Earl Watson gave outstanding defen- sive performances. Moreover, Moiso, the 6-foot- 10 1/2 freshman, left the Wildcats scrambling with his inside-outside shooting touch. The road was something of a let-down tor the Bruins. Plagued by youth and atrocious shooting, the team needed Baron Davis's career-high of 22 points to sneak by Oregon, 65-63. Hosting the Bears back at home, the Bruins showed that they could compete against veterans, but their weaknesses were exposed during the game against Stanford. The Bruins' emotional roller-coaster seemed to wear them down during their battle with the Louisville Cardinals. "At half-time, we challenged the whole team," said Coach Lavin. "We agreed that if we were going to go down, we were going to go down lighting." The Cardinals succeeded in bringing the game to within six, but came no closer. After an encouraging win against Washington State, the Bruins looked forward to an easy playoff berth, but were rocked at their foundations in the game against Washington. The team fought hard against the Oregon teams, gaining a lead in the playoff race and a renewed confidence in their coach. The remainder of the playoff season featured hard fought games where the Bruins exhibited their matu- rity and ability to play as a team. Lavin had successfully taken the young individuals and turned them into a unified force that reigned throughout the playoffs. m.

Not only did lans place great expectations on the Brums, but the team members and Head Coach Kathy Olivier did as well. Notions of success came Irom the knowledge that the team possessed the experience needed in order to flourish. As Olivier stated, "We probably return more quality experience than |ust about any team in the country. We are balanced inside and out, with several players who can be successful at multiple positions." Having All-American and Pac-lO Player ot the year Maylana Martin and All-American Erica Gomez as mem- bers of the team helped raise awareness of the impact that the Bruins were expected to make within the conference. But however prominently individual members stood out, it was the unity of the team that pushed the squad to the top. Teamwork and focus kept the squad strong with one of the nation's most challenging schedules. Also key to the success of the team was their under- standing and readiness for the game itself. "We know what it takes to be successful on the road in the Pac-lO and to get to the tournament. We are ready to take the next step," confi- dently stated Olivier. With their focus and determination, the young players continued to perfect their exper- tise with each passing game. Olivier's enthusiastic guidance saw the team through a chal- lenging, yet victorious season which surpassed all expectations.

The pri- mary reason for the facehft was the addition of Head Coach Tom Stebbins to the Diving squad. In addition to a new Head Coach, the Bruin Diving squad hailed a talented class of newcomers such as Liz Ackerman, a two-time Ail-American and three-time Connecticut state champion, and Becky Brackett, a Junior National competitor and first-team high school AU-Amencan. Along with the new additions, the squad's backbone remained strong with a few returners. Anne Baghramian returned for another season along with Delilah More and Ami Achrekar, all of whom brought experience to the team. The Swimming team was also composed of many rookies, but it possessed experience on both the national and interna- tional level. Experience and leadership was found in the three returning AU-Amencans Keiko Price, Amber Wines and Beth Goodwin. Price placed fourth this summer at the U.S. Nationals in the 100 freestyle, eatning her a spot on the U.S. roster for the 1999 Pan-Pacific Games in Australia. According to Swimming Head Coach Cyndi Gallagher, "Keiko is a committed student-athlete with a work ethic that will help lead our team. " Among the All-American returners. Amber Wines led in the breaststroke, while Beth Goodwin returned with the fourth fastest time in school history in the 100 fly from her freshman year. In addition, the team had a talent- ed group of returners and newcomers such as 1996 German Olympian Julia Voitovitsch, who brough tremendous talent in the butterfly. However seasoned or rookie the 1999 Women's Swimming and Diving team may have been in NCAA competi- tion, each member succeeded in building her strengths and intensifying her records. The young group of newcom- ers combined with the talent and leadership of UCLA's returnees composed a 1998-99 Swimming and Diving sea- son that was nothing short of exciting. <:.miQ}^<:.

The 1999 Bruin team con- tinued this tradition of great softbali. At the start of the season, the Bruins were ranked No. 3 in the nation, with a line-up that included nine returning players and one of the nation's best recruiting classes. UCLA signed the National High School Player of the Year Amanda Freed and U.S. National Team player Lyndsey Klein who brought a powerful defense onto the team. Returning pitchers Stephanie Swenson and Erin Weiler assisted Dale and Freed, which gave UCLA a powerful pitching staff. The Bruin offense was composed of an All-American line-up, powered by seven players who had competed on various U.S. National Teams, including three who had earned All- American honors since arriving at UCLA. Sophomore Stacey Nuveman had all the talent to play firstbase and catcher, but her best work came as an offensive player. At the beginning of the season Nuveman was only seven homeruns short of breaking the UCLA record of 30. By early March she had already broken the record, while on pace to shatter her own single season homerun record, set last year with 20. A great coaching staff was responsible for building the solid and balanced team. Head Coach Sue Enquist, an alum- na of UCLA, celebrated her 20th year on staff duri ng the 1 999 season. She held UCLA's career batting average record (.401) and was the first Bruin softbali player inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame. The Bruins had 63 regular scheduled games, making it their largest season ever. With a clear shot at the NCAA Championship, the team played hardball against the competi- tion. 1 999 became a standard for coming seasons with its new records, challenging future teams to continue to perform as proud Bruins.

Yet their names are an accepted part of campus culture, names like William Ackerman, J.D. Morgan, Arthur Ashe, and Jimmy Connors. It is a legacy that has produced 1 5 team national champions, 1 I run- ner-ups, 1 1 doubles-team champions, 9 singles champions, and 2 Olympians. No other school has dominated the NCAA as thor- oughly. This year, the Bruins hoped to add their names to the sto- ried legacy by continuing the playoff berth streak and showing the prowess that earned them a No. 5 preseason ranking. Once again, the Pac-10 Conference meets offered the biggest challenge for the Bruins. Conference rival Stanford was the return- ing national champion, and across town, USC was ranked 15th. Despite the challenging schedule, the Bruins aimed high. Leading the way for the Bruins was sophomore Jean-Noel Grinda who started in the #1 singles position after earnmg AU-American honors during his freshman year. Sixth year Head Coach Billy Martin made many adjustments to the line-up to optimize his team's performance. According to Martin, "We can compete with anybody singles wise and I teel stronger about our doubles play than last year. I'm very optimistic and don't see any team I don't think we can compete against." Early in the season, the Bruins defeated Arizona, but lost to Arizona State. The encourag- ing start showed the Bruins' ability in doubles, but Arizona State upset them with key wins in singles. Encouraging wins against New Mexico and UCI gave way to tough losses against USC and Stanford. In a match-up of teams tied for fifth in the country, UCLA defeated Illinois 4-1 at the Nordstrom Tennis Center to capture its fifth USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championship in the 1990s and sixth overall. The Bruins then returned home to face a highly-ranked Trojan squad, winning the match 6-1. After the Bruins won their tenth at the Pacific Coast Tournament, they were ranked #1 in the nation. Suddenly, they were the team to beat in the league and the nation. Riding the roller coaster of victories and losses, UCLA fought hard through the season, defeating Orgeon and Washington to win the Pac-10 title for the first time since 1996. With This year's Bruins definitely earned their place in the annuls of UCLA's time-honored tennis history.

It was then that he realized that continuing as a prc-meJ student was not for him. Although switching out ot a pre^med track to another major was a challenge that many had to face, Bob proved that liis determination was enough to overcome obstacles. "You should always go tor what you want. The hardest part is to change, but you have to go for wliat you want!" Not only did Bob complete the major he wanted. Psychology with a Business Administration specialization, but he explored other interests as well. "In my five years at UCLA, I've found myself I've found what I really want to do with my life," Bob explained 'With film being one of Bob's greatest passions, he plans to someday have a full-time career in this area Interning with Warner Brothers as a Campus Representative, Bob was well on his way, not to mention that he had already gained experience in publicity on staff at the Daily Brian and the Student Alumni Association. Although his resume may have included numerous facets. Bob proved to be dedicated to each of his commitments while maintaining a full class schedule. One of Bob's most challenging endeavors during his UCLA career was with SAA. In his senior year. Bob oversaw an SAA membership ot over tour thousand students and campus-wide programs such as Homecoming, Beat $C Week, Dinners for 12 Strangers, and the ]iitiior/Seuior Career Conference. However, his favorite accomplishment was directing Spring Sing, pertormed by musically and theatrically inclined Bruins. With SAA, Bob was able to really put his talents to work and gain experience for future job endeavors as the SAA President, Spring Sing Director, Mardi Gras Coordinator and various other responsibilities. Bob's advice to other Bruins: "Don't ever think that its too late to do anything. At UCLA, anything is possible."

Words that Calysra Ruth Watson's father said to her many years ago are advice that she continues to follow today. Calysta grew up in a family of eight children where her parents taught them that anything is possible when you want it. She appreciates her parents support, of which she says, "It has gotten me through everything. Their encouragement, inspiration; their wisdom and their faith in me has pulled me through." Because ot her close family ties, Calysta has dedicated much ot her time towards the bettering of society, particularly to youth and education. Her dedication not only covered the local level, but the national realm as well. When she studied in South Africa, a component of Calysta studies focused on "healing through theatre." Although Calysta was the instructor, she learned that the women in that writing class were the real teachers through their experiences. An avid traveler, Calysta has experienced a myriad of ventures through her travels to Japan, South Africa, Western Samoa, Fiji and New Zealand. Because of her passion for the creative and cultural arts, Calysta embraced the opportunities she held as an Anthropology major to learn about and feel the cultures of the world. Her passion for the arts stemmed from her "first love" of acting and singing. Calysta completed a notable component of her theatrical career with the opening of her first full-length feature film in New Zealand early in the summer of 1999. Calysta continues to look towards her future as an actress, film producer, vocal artist, and business and family woman. Though this list may appear to be a formidable task, Watson looks to be quick on her way to completing each and every one of her goals. "Life is full of a myriad of possibilities, and if you follow your heart and work hard, anything is possible." Although she has already accomplished so much, it is plain to see that Calysta Ruth Watson has much more ahead of her. An inspiring woman with the talent, determination and outlook that says, "When you put positive energy out to get something, you can do it," Calysta obviously has what it takes to succeed a long way.

Catharina was born with the rare skin disease Mtuoaitamom candtasis for which there is no known cute. Having the disease greatly diminishes Catharina's immune responses and has required her to spend a lot of time in and out of hospitals. It was at these hospitals that she met so many of the kind volunteers who mspired her to enter the medical profession. "I want to repay their kindness by extending the same care to Others," said Catharina. Growing up, Catharina had to endure much, facing the disease every morning in the form of scars that wotdd draw stares from other children. The differences in her skin often made Catharina feel isolated and detached from other people. However, through this difficult time her mother taught her to reach out and inspired in her the optimistic streak that so clearly bubbles through her personality today. According to Catharina, "The incessant whole-hearted, unconditional tare, encouragement, and love from those around me kept me striving against the obstacles. They made me cherish life; ^ cherish everything as well as everyone around me." At UCLA she has volunteered in many areas of health care including research projects with professors. She spent a summer contributing to a Medicaid evaluation with the UCLA School of iijik Public Health by implementing the Cantonese focus group. She has also volunteered for UCLA's Department of Pathology, reviewing biopsy slides. In her senior year, she took a volunteer position at the Sino Cancer Foundation to organize and conduct health education and support groups for cancer patients. Aside from her experience in the health field, Catharina has also found time to get involved with student organizations on campus. Of all her positions, Catharina most enjoyed her work for the Student Alumni Association as Program Director of the Career Network Committee. "The experience in S. A. A. was really special because of the social interaction," said Catharina. "I was really surprised by people's ^ncern and their insight." Catharina plans to to attend UCLA's School of Public Health, to get her Masters of Public Health at a school which emphasizes the practical application of health care theory in the workplace. Her long term goals include becoming a dedicated health cate manager with the same capability and passion that she found in the volunteers who helped her so long ago.

Inspired by his father, a United States Treasury Agent, David plans to go into the FBI to make a difference in the world. Reflecting on his college experience, David had every right to be proud of his college career. Some of his accomplishments include serving as Chairman of Scouting for Food to aid the homeless in Los Angeles, taking part in a national conservation project, and speaking to youths about drugs and alcohol abuse. For these reasons, he has received six commendation bars as a Los Angeles Police Explorer, earned the rank of Eagle Scout (through involvement since the second grade), and is especially proud of his Gold Congressional Honor Medal. "The Congressional Honor Medal embodies what it means to be a Bruin. By getting an achievement that represents my state, nation, and University, it shows other dedications and inspires other Bruins to get involved," David commented. In addition to his larger achievements, David has also committed himself to helping out the student community on campus. He was able to assist peers by serving on the UCLA Transfer Association Board as Vice-President. With the Student Alumni Assocation, he served on the Executive Committee for Homecoming as well as the Director of Campus Outreach. He also reached out to the community through organizations such as Model United Nations, Circle-K, and Alpha Phi Omega service committee. Moreover, David has been active in his church and several Jewish student groups including the JCCA Regional Youth Board, UCLA Hillel, and Jewish Student Union. To round-out his plethora of service activities, David was also active in running and sailing, placing in the Athletic Congress Ooss Country Championships and Track and Field Nationals. He hopes that his dedication in everything he does was an inspiration to his peers in the ideals of leadership and good sportsmanship. His dream is to go into criminal justice, with law school as a stepping stone into the FBI, using his education to make a difference in society.

Monn and Dad Dear Stephanie, You were a beautiful baby and now you're a georgeous young woman full of life. You fiave excelled in everything you've done - Softball, soc- cer, Songleader, Brighter Sides, Dolly Levi, Bruin Belles, Sally in "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and for- eign student in Spain. Thank you for being a part of my life and I wish you much success as a UCLA GRADUATE. Love, Dad My precious bundle of joy has grown into a loving, inde- pendent young woman. I am so thankful that God has blessed my life with such a beautiful daughter. I am very proud of you. Congratulations! Love, Mom Wow, I can't believe you're graduating already! What was your major again? J/K I know you'll do great in life and accomplish all that you want to because you have the most faith in humanity of any person I know. You'll be ready to tackle a professional job if not because of your studies, it will be out of motivation to keep from moving back in with Mom and Dad. Lots of Love. Your sister. Erica.

From Reiber Hall and crew, to Lacrosse and Bmin Belles, to Yell Leader and Golden Key - you did it all and no family could be more proud. The future is yours. We love you - Mom, Dad, Jim, and Cindy To My Bijan: My heart overflows with joy when I think of how blessed I am to have you as my son. I appreciate you letting God's perfect plan for your life unfold everyday. Seeing you graduate from college makes me feel proud. I am pleased that you applied diligence and dedica- tion to your education, but it does pull at my heart strings to know that the successful young man that you are may not need me like you did when you were my little boy. These are the thorns of motherhood, especially since we have always only had each other. Congratulations, my son. I LOVE YOU! Your Mother esfandiari, verity 395 p. To our sister.
