1984

ARRIVING 

The sun rises over Newark early in 

the morning. Many lie asleep in their 

warm beds in the dorm. Most, however, 

are waking up to face the new day. 

In these early hours many of us are 

stuck in traffic, fighting our way to find 

an open parking spot, or waiting in the 

cold for a bus or a train. 

Cups of coffee and “ quickie" 

breakfasts are consumed as students 

and professors rush to get to their 

classes on time. 

These are the “ signs of arriving” at 

NJIT.

ABOUT THE COVER 

High on a hill overlooking 

the skyscraper office 

buildings of Newark’s 

business district and New 

York’s ever famous skyline 

stands Eberhardt Hall, NJIT’s 

castle. Once an orphanage, 

it now houses the Institute’s 

administrative offices. The 

red brick building was 

constructed in 1865. It was 

designated a historical 

landmark in 1973.

From: American Heritage Dictionary 

During our journey through college as often in life, we see many 

signs. Although we take them for granted, these signs are reflections 

of the world we live in. Permanently fixed to their surroundings, they 

stand as reminders of times gone by. Each time we pass an old 

familiar sign, we will remember the good times we spent in its 

vicinity. 

Try to recall the first time you saw a certain sign. Were you at a 

new stage in life? Perhaps it was your first day at a new job, or at a 

new school. Soon enough the sign grew to be familiar as you 

became accustomed to your new surroundings. But, you knew that 

this sign too would be replaced by signs a distance away. 

Along these lines we have assembled signs of our college 

experience, to keep and cherish the rest of our lives. 

Look through the pages of this book. Each time the miles roll 

away, you will see a limitless number of signs of 1984 and you’ll 

remember the good times spent at NJIT.

METAMORPHOSIS 

Over the past year there have been many changes 

taking place at NJIT. While some affect us more than 

others, all of these new happenings reflect the growth 

of our college, physically, academically, and socially. 

The biggest changes deal with the physical expansion 

of our campus. The Mechanical Engineering Building, 

whose construction began in the summer of 1982, has 

finally been completed. It contains two lecture halls and 

various classrooms, laboratories, and offices for 

Mechanical Engineering, our largest major. Classrooms 

opened in January. The new architectural studios in 

Colton Hall were also completed. These studios helped 

to reduce the amount of architecture classes in the “ Z” 

Building and gave the architects a pleasant environment 

for thinking and drawing. Finally, the second Residence 

Hall will more than double the number of students 

residing on campus. Geared toward independence, 

each room comes with a kitchenette, and a bathroom 

which is shared between two rooms. In addition, 

changes have been made academically. Several new 

majors, statistics and actuarial science, and applied 

chemistry, have been added to the curriculum. 

The increase of women in NJIT has brought about a 

social change with the emergence of organizations for 

women. Three sororities have been formed (one 

reestablished), and sports such as women’s tennis and 

fencing have been added. These activities and 

organizations allow women to become an integral part 

of the NJIT community. 

As with all change, some adjustments take time to 

be accepted and work effectively. Registration by 

computer has caused initial confusion but has 

eventually sped up the scheduling process. New 

terminals on campus make NJIT life easier, but will do 

more when the system is made to better accomodate 

the load. More clubs than ever before now find their 

home base in the Center’s Lower Level, but those 

groups used to extensive space have learned to adjust 

to their smaller surroundings. Change does sometimes 

mean compromise. 

The "Signs of 1984" are truly reflected in the 

changes around us. They are indicative of the growth 

on campus as we strive toward a bigger and better 

NJIT.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES 

Computer technology has become a major force in society today. Many of us 

used a computer for the first time when we entered NJIT. 

Since that time many innovations have occurred in the field. Computer 

hardware has become more efficient and subsequently less costly. This feature 

more than any other has promoted computer popularity, bringing us into the 

age of information. 

In today’s computer technology, there is much to appreciate. We now have 

more memory in our $200. home computer than the 1.5 million dollar gigantic 

computer which brought Apollo 11 to the moon in 1969. Amazingly, our current 

personal computer price tag would only buy us a desk top calculator in that 

same year. 

While our home computers have the memory capabilities to surpass the 

million dollar hardware of the 1950’s, new commercial computers like the IBM 

3083 pictured on this page have a thousand times that memory capability. 

Truly the computer has become ingrained in our lifestyle. We find it in 

industry, communications, banking, and unlimited other areas. Our 

acknowledgment of its real impact is no more apparent than in our training of 

elementary students on school terminals doing professional programming. 

The growth of the home computer now gives us the comfort of storing 

information, managing money and playing our favorite video games in the 

comfort of our own homes. Thirty years ago this was only a figment in the 

imagination of science fiction writers. 

The sign of the computer in 1984 is one that surely points one way— to a 

brighter future for us all.

SIGNS OF NEWARK RENAISSANCE 

Newark, a city that for years has been maligned for its 

violence and decay, is now experiencing a rebirth the 

effects of which will change the city both structually and 

more important perceptually. 

Gutted and vacant buildings which were visual eyesores 

have been replaced by either new construction or dynamic 

rennovations. Industry has made a commitment as well 

with the emergence of the PSE & G Fountain and the new 

Bell Telephone Building. The revival of the James Street 

Commons area into townhouses has encouraged the 

return of the young professional to the inner city, while 

the joint venture of the cities of New York and Newark 

encourages throngs of busy travelers through the terminals 

of Newark International Airport. 

But as in all change the acknowledgement of the value 

of preserving the “ old” is of equal importance. Various 

areas of Newark have been designated as historical 

landmarks, including our own Eberhardt Hall. 

But in all truth the real sign of the Renaissance of 

Newark is in its people. A new sense of pride is being 

developed and a desire to spend time and money to 

make the city better. Social “ watering holes” such as 

McGoverns draw locals and imports to partake of 

Newark's flavor. For truely when residents find reasons to 

stay in the city instead of finding reasons to leave it, and 

say its name with pride instead of making excuses, the 

Rennaissance of Newark will be complete.

A DAY IN THE LIFE 

Quite often the NJIT student’s life revolves around the Center. 

He starts his day with a hot cup of coffee and a discussion with 

his friends of the day’s impending doom. Next, its a rush to the 

classroom, for sleep and a possible learning experience. 

Now its time for a California burger, a large coke and greasy 

fries to fuel up for the big afternoon ahead. With a little spare time 

on his hands, he’ll drop a few quarters in “ Pole Position” or do 

battle with “ Donkey Kong” . SAC’s got a movie going in the 

Lounge, so he catches a few minutes before he's off to class 

again to blow up a lab. 

With the debris remaining, he’s on his way to the Library to 

write a “ hum” paper. Then, this "real man” goes to the Pub to 

order a quiche and a pitcher of beer. “ With friends and a pitcher 

of beer, who needs Calculus?” Imprisonment in the computer 

room to solve the riddle of least squares is his next task as the 

clock ticks on. Finally, its back to the dorm to catch reruns of 

Star Trek and then hit the sack to ready for his new day.

DEDICATION 

There are few events that occur that make us stop and take account of the world we live in. Unfortunately, during 

the school year 1983-84, such events did happen. Early one Sunday morning last October, we were awakened by a 

special news report which told us that our Marine barracks in Beruit, Lebanon, had been bombed when a Kamikaze 

truck crashed into the building where our American Marines had been sleeping. 

Two days later, on October 25, 1983, we learned of yet another military crisis when our forces invaded the island of 

Grenada to protect the freedom of about a thousand American citizens who were living there. 

Again we listened and prayed for peace as the American casualties mounted. We eventually secured the island, 

however. 

The members of the yearbook staff would like to express their sympathy to the families of these fallen American as 

we dedicate the 1984 NUCLEUS to all those who fought and gave their lives to preserve the American freedom we all

!#*? (STUDYING) 

There is a myriad of different subjects that 

people study at NJIT. Where people study 

varies as much as what they are studying. In 

the Library, people study everything from 

quantum mechanics, truss stability, stimulating 

chemical reactions with lasers, to architectural 

history and business management. Over in the 

computer center, one observes everything from 

artificial intelligence/negligence to how to get 

out of Witts End. A popular place to study real 

time operating systems, vector graphics 

generators, smart bombs and inviso is in the 

Center Video Gameroom. In the cafeteria, there 

are often students copying (or are they 

enlightening themselves?) all in the name of 

education. 

Moving on to the Pub, we see individuals 

thoroughly engaged in studying the effects of 

alcohol on the central nervous system. On 

warmer days, many students are outside 

studying the clothing and anatomy of the 

opposite sex. 

O.K., we went over what and where people 

study, now let us look at how people study. 

Some have a dozen books, three pads of quad-ruled paper and a 

pocket computer around them. Others study with one book and a 

beer. Some people study as a group, with papers and calculations 

spread out all over a table, while others prefer to study alone. 

Thus students at NJIT have a place and a method to study nearly 

everything.

This year's N ucleus honors the graduating class of 1984. Fortunately they enter a society that 

differs markedly from that gray terror described in George Orwell’s book, 1984. (Big Brother is not 

watching - but your friend’s little brother may be “ hacking” his way into your computer file.) 

The problems we face as a society and as individuals are not those of 1984, but those faced by 

people everywhere for generations - maintaining the health, welfare and dignity of the human race. 

The difficulty in accomplishing these goals has probably not changed much over the years, but our 

perception of the task certainly has. 

When most of the graduates of the Class of 1984 were in primary school, it appeared that the 

solution to at least the question of the satisfaction of human want existed in the U.S. and much of 

Europe. In 1970, the per capita Gross National Product in the U.S. stood 15% above that of any 

other country Ten years later the per capita GNP in the U.S. was 10th in the world - nearly 30% 

below that of Switzerland. Since 1980, the U.S. and Europe have struggled with inflation and 

economic stagnation and decline While the recovery currently underway may make a reality of our 

perceptions of 1970’s the unresolved questions of energy utilization and production efficiency 

indicate that we would be wise not to be overly optimistic. 

The graduates of the Class of 1984 can make a difference. The skill acquired through hard work 

and study over the past four years can be applied to make life easier and goods and services more 

abundant. Yet technical know-how is not enough. Knowledge does not fluctuate with the business 

cycle The graduates of NJIT can increase the impact they make on society by joining others in 

helping to shape society’s priorities, by becoming active in their communities and by staying alert to 

the tendency of some political leaders to use their position for personal gain rather than the general 

welfare. 

In 1949, George Orwell saw a bleak future. In 1984, we see a world far more peaceful and with 

more rapid economic growth than any sustained period in this century. (While the forty years since 

the end of World War II have witnessed many small conflicts, there has been nothing on the scale of 

destruction associated with either World War I or World War II.) The world has monumental, and 

perhaps unsolvable problems; yet, there is also a possibility of providing for basic human needs. If 

we succeed in that, we will face the far greater challenge of achieving the human potential.

MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF ’84 

It is a pleasure for me to extend 

congratulations to the graduates of the 

Class of 1984, for not only have you 

realized a great personal achievement, 

but you have shared creatively in 

shaping the first four years of New 

Jersey Institute of Technology’s Second 

Century. 

Four years ago we faced the 

challenges of a new century, a new 

decade, and new frontiers of personal 

and institutional growth. The erection of 

the first student residence hall in 

Newark, on the NJIT campus, marked 

an historic turning point in the life of 

the Institute and the community. Today, 

we are nearing the completion of our 

second dormitory. 

The newly completed Mechanical 

Engineering Center is another mark of 

the century. Its modern design and 

facilities help place our programs at the 

forefront of engineering education. 

Modern architectural design studios are 

now in place. They incorporate 

advanced concepts in learning 

environments and help the School of 

Architecture to achieve new levels of 

educational distinction. The formation ..>f 

the Third College has also been a 

landmark in the life of the Institute. Not 

only has it contributed to the stature of 

NJIT as the technological university of 

New Jersey, but it has brought into 

organizational focus the Institute’s 

lifelong commitment to the physical and 

mathematical sciences, computer and 

information science, the art and science 

of management. 

No less of an achievement has been 

the vision and determination, of each 

member of the Class of 1984. Not only 

have you set and successfully attained 

your personal educational goals, but 

you have made significant contributions 

to the academic, professional, and 

social vitality of the campus. Your 

participation in the Student Activities 

Council, Student Senate, Alpha Phi 

Omega, numerous Institute planning 

and governance committees, as well as 

the dedicated service you have 

rendered through your respective 

professoinal societies and various 

charitable projects has left its print on 

the high quality of Institute life. The 

positive effects of your presence here 

will be felt for many years to come. 

As we face tomorrow, I am confident 

that what we have achieved together 

will endure, and that we shall each rise 

to meet the new challanges with 

imagination and continuing personal 

growth. With these reflections 

uppermost in mind, I wish every 

success and happiness to you and your 

loved ones as you continue the journey 

of your personal and professional lives.

ACADEMIC DEANS 

The overseeing of three colleges is 

no easy task. Anyone in the position 

of being a dean knows that the key 

to a smooth-running organization is a 

well-organized and capable staff. 

The oldest college on campus, the 

Newark College of Engineering, is 

being administered by Yi-Yuan Yu, 

who is about to begin his third year 

as dean. His task involves the 

overseeing of all engineering 

departments which consists of better 

than 90% of the student body of 

NJIT. 

The School of Architecture is 

being run by Sanford Greenfield. As 

the first dean of the college, he has 

greatly increased the role of 

architecture on campus and 

continued the expansion and 

modernization of the facilities. 

Finally, beginning her first year as 

Dean of the Third College is Dorothy 

Levy. Her task as dean is to 

administer the majors other than 

engineering, that is, computer 

science, industrial administration, 

statistics and actuarial science, and 

others. 

Pictured from top to bottom , are Yi-Yuan Yu, 

Dean of the Newark College of Engineering, 

Sanford Greenfield, Dean of the School of 

Architecture, and Dorothy Levy, Dean of the 

Third College.

DEAN OF STUDENTS 

Dear Graduates: 

It is a time to say Congratulations— a time for you to be 

justly proud of your hours, days, weeks, and years of hard 

work, a time for you to appreciate and value your 

achievements. It is a time when we want you to know how 

proud we are of you. We wish you every success in all 

that you undertake in the future. 

We ask you to remember that much will be expected of 

you as a professional person in a world that sometimes 

forgets or overlooks what “ professional” means. We ask 

you to remember, to work and live by the standards that 

you have learned and which are best to which you can 

aspire. We count on you to continue to make us proud of 

you. 

Congratulations again, we’ll miss you, don’t forget us

ADMISSIONS 

The office of Admissions 

plays a vital role in the 

continuation of the quality at 

the Institute. The office must 

screen thousands of 

applicants each year, and 

select those who appear best 

suited to handle the 

sometimes rigorous academic 

standards set at NJIT.

FINANCIAL AID 

The financial aid office is 

part of the registration 

process at NJIT for those 

students who qualify for 

financial aid. The office 

provides free funds for those 

students who need a helping 

hand, and will make 

worthwhile use of it.

REGISTRAR’S 

OFFICE 

This year, the office of the registrar has 

improved the registration process, along 

with making it possible to have the most 

accurate and most up-to-date records 

accessable with the push of a button on 

their new computer terminals. This 

academic year was the first year that the 

computer was used for registration at 

NJIT. It has proved to be very successful.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 

The purpose of the Alumni Association is to tie former NJIT 

students in the working world to the Institute. It keeps friendship 

among people, companies and the Institute. The Alumni 

Association supports scholarships, athletic awards, the alumnus 

magazine and newsletter, alumni-senior feedback sessions, social 

competence programs, guest lectures and seminars, research 

foundation and graduate program assistance, scholastic 

recognition programs, and the Alumni library collection. 

Overall, the largest of the duties of the Alumni Association is to 

support the school financially. The Alumni association brings in 

donations from outside companies, parents, and former students. 

The Alumni Association can be said to be almost the opposite 

of the Admissions office in the sense that it is responsible for what 

the graduates give back to the school in return for and in 

appreciation of their education at NJIT.

LIBRARY 

The Library is an essential part of the NJIT 

atmosphere. Besides being a building in which you can 

find a quiet place to study, (or daydream) wether you 

find a booth or a quiet study room comfortable, the 

Library provides many useful services at NJIT. It is not 

only our complete engineering reference source, but it 

is a place about which all academic progress revolves.

can go for information and assistance with 

academic and personal concerns, or general 

information about NJIT. The Stop-ln Center is 

staffed by NJIT students- Peer Counselors- who 

have been trained in helping skills. Peer 

Counselors can help students negotiate the “ red 

tape” of NJIT, with information on basic college 

procedures, registration, academic information and 

financial aid. Perhaps most importantly, Peer 

Counselors provide an open ear to those persons 

who need someone to talk to.

COUNSELING 

CENTER 

The Counseling Center provides 

professional counseling to students who 

feel that they need to talk to someone 

who is more knowledgeable than their 

friends parents or peer counselors, in 

discussing problems in all areas of their 

lives. Trained professional counselors 

with degrees in psychology and related 

fields are very knowledgeable about the 

life of a student and the conflicts an 

NJIT student may face. 

Any person who is faced with 

problems and decisions, (and who isn’t) 

can benefit from counseling. A visit to 

the counseling center almost always 

results in a better understanding of 

oneself and therefore a stronger person.

STUDENT SENATE 

SUMMING UP - THE STUDENT 

SENATE 

by Wendy Heller 

senate president 

This year the Student Senate, 

despite dwindling from almost 

sixty students to twenty three 

students, has accomplished many 

goals. Last year during April, I 

was campaigning for the position 

of Student Senate President. At that time I tried to look at 

the year ahead, and now I am looking back at our 

accomplishments. 

The Senate has had the best Cabinet attendance in the 

four years that I have participated in it. The reason for this 

increase in club participation is a firm stand by the Student 

Senate concerning a direct link from the availability of funds 

to cabinet attendance.. 

The Student Senate has opened communication between 

departments and the students by sponsoring two Student 

Senate Feedback Sessions this year. These sessions enabled 

departments such as BSIA, IE, and ME who never had this 

formalized meeting time to air problems the students are 

having with the curriculum, professors, and policies. The 

Feedback sessions provided the best turn out of students and faculty 

to a single event. 

There are many Senate Committees that were an intregal part of 

this years events. The Semiformal Committee started to meet early in 

the fall semester. By starting the proceedings to co-ordinate this 

school wide event early in the year, every aspect was covered in an 

orderly manner. Another committee that was re-established was the 

Concert Committee. NJIT has not had a concert in two years. This 

committee successfully planned a concert for April 18, 1984, with 

MODERN ENGLISH. Also, on this date, the Picnic Committee coordinated 

a day long affair before the concert. The picnic was a 

combined effort of SAC, The Student Senate, and the Cabinet. 

The Senate, in the past, has held round tables. This year the name 

was changed to the Student Senate Forums. These forums were very 

34 

informative and all who attended benefited from the 

experience. 

The Senate’s Elections Committee proposed a 

reconstruction for next years senate to include two 

representatives from each department plus five freshman 

along with the seven officers. 

I would like to thank our advisor, Merwin Kinkade for all 

his help, experience and guidance that he gave the Senate 

throughout this year. I would also like to thank Jodie Cottrell 

and Bob Moran along with the rest of the Center staff for all 

their help this year. 

Finally I would like to thank the hardest working group of 

the Senate officers that I have had the pleasure to work 

with. Many times this year they went above and beyond their

call of duty for the Senate. Each officer knows how much time and 

effort they put into the success of the Senate and for the Student 

body at large, they did not only earn my thanks but yours as well.

The Division of Continuing Education 

offers non-credit courses to students who 

who have graduated and wish to pursue 

their education or profession deeper or in 

related areas without earning credits to a 

higher degree.

GRADUATES 

DIVISION 

The Graduate Division offers many 

courses to students who would like to 

continue working towards higher degrees 

upon graduation, since in our 

technological world, undergraduate 

programs can only provide a fundamental 

base for the true professional. Courses 

offered are 500, 600, and 700 level 

courses, and there are strict admission 

requirements for graduate programs in 

addition to the strict standards set for 

admissions to the Institute. NJIT’s 

graduate division offers the degree of 

Master of Science with designation in 

Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Environmental, 

Industrial, Management, and Mechanical 

Engineering, as well as in Computer 

Science. They also offer the Master’s 

Degree without designation to those who 

persue graduate studies in Engineering, 

Engineering Science, Applied- 

Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, 

Environmental Science and Toxicology, 

and Management and Organizational 

Studies. 

In the top pictu re are Russell Pirog, Maria

ARCHITECTURE 

The study of Architecture involves 

designing and decision making in order 

to solve environmental problems. 

NJIT’s architectural program involves 

much more than planning and creating 

new buildings. 

Problems tackled might constitute 

preserving or adapting exhisting 

elements of a building environment 

which are currently misused or 

discarded. The design professions have 

never faced a greater challenge. 

NJIT's Architecture program prepares 

students to face this challenge by 

teaching them a wide variety of skills 

and concepts. The first two years of 

the architecture cirriculum consists of 

an introductory program which 

emphasizes general studies. This is 

followed by a three year Architecture 

Program emphasizing design and 

solutions to problems. 

This makes the total time needed to 

earn a Bachelor of Architecture Degree 

five years. The Architecture Program is 

NJIT’s first five year program. Upon 

graduation, the student is knowledgable 

in not only architecture, but also in 

ecological studies, physical sciences, 

engineering sciences, other areas such 

as housing, building economics, urban 

design, computer systems, research, 

industrialized building, and historic 

preservation.

COMPUTER AND INFORMATION 

SCIENCE 

The Department of Computer and Information Science prepares students for a wide 

variety of careers in a rapidly growing field. Building on a solid foundation of math, 

science and computer programming, the C.I.S. cirriculum teaches an understanding of 

the information system and its potentials, with applications to managemant, science, 

engineering, and computer technology itself. Computer Science majors graduate into a 

field which gives them a wide variety of options, where high paying jobs are available 

now that the computer is becoming a necessity in any field.

CHEMICAL 

ENGINEERING/CHEMISTRY 

Chemical Engineering involves the 

design and operation of plants which 

produce chemicals, including plastics, 

textile fibers, gasoline, and 

pharmaceutcals. Chemical Engineers 

are also involved in the search for 

alternative energy sources, and 

improvement on energy production, 

because of their expertise in oil refining, 

recovery of oil from oil shale, the 

manufacture of synthetic fuels from 

coal, and the preparation and recovery 

of nuclear fuels.

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

Civil engineering is concerned with the planning, design, and construction phases of an 

engineering project, including energy, environmental, and economic considerations. It 

involves dealing with people and cities, producing clean air and water, providing for the 

disposal of wastes, and developing efficient transportation, housing, and water systems. 

The undergraduate program includes work in field measurements, construction materials 

and procedures, structural analysis and design, soil behavior, transportation engineering, 

water supply, and pollution control. The department offers a set of elective courses 

through which the student can specialize in such areas as urban planning and urban 

systems, construction engineering, and surveying. 

The civil engineering graduate is well prepared to enter the job market through federal 

state, and municipal agencies, in many consulting firms in the metropolitan area and 

throughout the country, or with the major industrial firms involved with the aspects of 

planning design, or environmental control. Students may also enter the field of research 

and development.

Electrical Engineering is a very 

deversified and challenging field. It is 

concerned with the design, 

development, fabrication, and control of 

electrical devices on which our society 

largely depends. There are many areas 

of study in electrical engineering such 

as electrical power engineering, design 

of integrated circuits, computers, 

environmental and biomedical 

instrumentation, energy conversion, 

space vehicle control, electronic 

engineering, micro processors, and 

sattelite communications. 

The electrical engineering curriculum 

provices a broad base in mathematics, 

the physical sciences, humanities, and 

social sciences. Specialities include a 

systems sequence in communications, 

control, computers, power, or medical 

instrumentation. The outcome of the 

electrical engineering curriculum 

provides us with engineers who can 

think analytically and creatively, work 

effectively, and communicate with 

others.

IN MEMORIUM 

We would like to take this opportunity to 

express our sympathy to the famiiy and 

friends of Dr. Delucia who passed away 

during the spring semister this year. Dr. 

Delucia was a very knowledgable person in 

the electrical engineering department. Not 

only was he an associate professor of 

electrical engineering, but he was a licensed 

professional engineer, and an active member 

of many organizations including the IEEE 

here at NJIT, in which his involvement and 

dedication surpassed all others.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 

The industrial engineering curriculum 

prepares engineers to make improvements 

in industry. Industrial engineers are trained 

to solve problems in design, research and 

management, among other areas. The IE 

cirriculum prepares them to seek solutions 

in industry by concentrating on on product 

and production process design, work 

analysis, and management science. During 

the cirriculum, students are exposed to 

fundamental concepts of engineering, and 

then later, they are exposed to more 

specialized areas of research design and 

developement. They are also exposed to 

manufacturing, distribution, and personnel 

management. Upon graduation, IE's are 

put into areas where they can improve 

production and cut costs, so that they 

improve the efficiency of a company and 

improve the company overall.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

Mechanical Engineering is concerned 

with the design, development, manufacture 

and operation of many energy and 

dynamic systems, M.E.’s use their 

knowledge of systems design and control, 

materials, and production methods to 

develop complex systems including 

aircrafts, power plants, and combustion 

engines. These systems must meet design 

constraints as well as safety and 

environmental protection requirements. 

M.E.’s are also involved in the search for 

alternate energy sources, in response to 

worldwide energy needs. 

A M.E. student may specialize in many 

technical areas such as air, thermal, and 

noise pollution control, energy conversion, 

computer-aided design, and 

bioengineering. Upon graduation an M.E. 

student may use his degree as a 

foundation for graduate studies, or for 

studies in other fields such as medicine or 

law.

MATH 

The math department is an essential 

part of NJIT. As we all know, every 

student who majors in engineering must 

know their math. 

To build a solid foundation for many 

engineering courses that involve advanced 

math, the math department offers courses 

in calculus, differential equations, 

statistics, and many other areas of 

advanced math. Our understanding of 

engineering is based on our understanding 

of math, and thanks to our math 

department, we are prepared to 

understand engineering through the use of 

math.

Humanities is a large part of a 

college education. Studying Humanities, 

knowing a little history and knowing a 

little about cultures and trends builds a 

sound foundation for further engineering 

education. 

This year the Humanities department 

opened a new course, Art History. Their 

aim is to make the NJIT student more 

knowledgeable about different areas of 

our trends and cultures. The art course 

for example, gives the stutent a better 

understanding and appreciation of art 

and its historical prespective. We aim to 

make our Humanities department the 

best.

ORGANIZATIONAL/SOCIAL SCIENCE 

Engineers do not always stay in 

engineering; some of them move up and 

become managers. There they utilize 

organizational skills learned from the OSS 

department. 

The department offers many courses which 

help develop skills in areas essential to 

engineers but not related directly to 

engineering. Among the areas of study are 

psychology, labor relations, economics, 

business management, sociology, and 

industrial administration. These courses 

enable engineers to carry out management 

duties as well as their specialty of study in 

engineering.

PHYSICS 

The Department of Physics offers many 

courses that prepare students for the long 

and difficult engineering ciriculum ahead of 

them. Many physics courses cover 

preliminary material for engineering, and 

are required as prerequisites for many 

advanced courses. Students are taught 

concepts in electricity, magnetism, 

mechanics, optics, sound, and other areas 

so that they have a solid foundation on 

which to build the understanding of more 

involved concepts.

One P erson’s View 

Almost everyone’s first experience 

with lab at NJIT was in Chem 115. 

This was where I decided not to 

become a Chem E, after all, some of 

the chemicals used were reported to 

be harmful to human health. If I 

would become an EE, the worst I 

could do was electrocute myself, and 

at least that provided a less painful 

method of dying . . . the choice was 

made. 

Performing labs is the way of 

learning how to apply theory, that is 

making the leap from science to 

technology, the useful application of 

theory, with a liberal dose of 

“ Foghartys Fudge Factor.” If we 

invoked Fogharty we certainly must 

give mention of Murphy, for even 

during the simplest lab something 

was there to frustrate us. Even 

though we had labs that lasted up to 

5 hours it seemed we never had 

time-its no wonder most Government 

contracts come in over-budget and 

over time. 

Most of the equipment used in our 

labs is obsolete, industry having long 

since found it useless or too 

expensive to repair. The other thing 

that really annoyed me was the 

“ third person” requirement,-who the 

heck was anybody kidding “ the 

student” didn’t do the lab-l did!

Mixers are a major social 

activity at NJIT. As the name 

implies, mixers allow students a 

chance to meet each other, 

dance, and have a good time. 

Sponsored by SAC, a variety of 

rock bands have been featured 

including the Touchables, 

Strutter, Eccentrix, NRG, and 

Bystander. 

SAC tries to encourage as 

many people as they can to 

come to the mixers and usually 

the turn out is good. Best of 

all, unlike a dance club, 

students of all ages can come 

and enjoy themselves. 

Dancing at mixers can be 

quite an experience. Between 

wild break dancing, the Twist, 

and cheek-to-cheek, there is a 

style and pace that suits nearly 

everyone. 

Over in the Pub, those of 

drinking age can enjoy some 

beer or wine, while in the Caf, 

hot dogs and soda can be 

consumed. 

Thus, through the course of 

one’s college experience at 

NJIT, mixers prove to be a 

meeting place of old and new 

friends.

ROAD 

RALLYE 

This year NJIT had its first annual 

Road Rallye. The race began at 11 

a.m. in the Gulf lot (adjacent to the 

tennis courts and ME center). Although 

the weather was dreary and wet, one 

could sense the anticipation of the 

drivers as they signed in. 

The drivers were given a list of hints 

and a sealed map that they could use if 

they gave up. Finally the cars left at 

one minute intervals, in one of four 

possible directions. Unfortunately, an 

accident happened early, as a Mazda 

sideswiped a van just outside the 

parking lot. Undaunted, the driver 

continued to finish the race. 

This race was not like an ordinary car 

race. Besides following a course, the 

participants had to answer an 

assortment of questions and follow 

slightly unorthodox instructions. For 

example, go onto 280 West, count 40 

overpasses and get off at the second 

exit afterward. Among the trivia 

questions and requests were: When 

was the Forest Avenue School built?, 

get some napkins from Dunkin Donuts, 

get some Birchwood sand from the 

beach, find the happy hour at the 

"gangsters pad” , the cost of a stein of 

beer at Howard Johnsons and who lives 

at the end of Sunset Terr, (go ask 

John). 

One of the more mentionable aspects 

of the Road Rallye is that one driver 

accidently went to a real gangsters pad 

rather than a bar by a similar name. By 

the way, John Aske lives at the end of 

Sunset Terr., beer is $5 at Howard 

Johnsons (some guy was calling out the 

price of beer as they came in), and 

Dunkin Donuts was passing out free 

donuts to the drivers. 

For those who perservered through 

the ordeal as well as those who opened 

the map, a pleasant dinner and band 

awaited at the Coral, the finish of the 

race.

August 30th marked the beginning of school for the freshmen. For most underclassmen, 

it was on September 1st. However, Friday and Saturday, August 26th and 27th, kicked off 

the new year for the Miniversity Group Leaders. 

The Miniversity Training Weekend was held at Camp Devin in Blairstown, N.J., only a 

few miles from Pennsylvania. Led by coordinators Bob Moran, Merwin Kinkade, Jodie 

Cottrell, Jean Kaminski, Charlene Balfour, and Loralei Gascard, the Group Leaders 

received extensive training on how to show effective leadership and how to be a 

Miniversity Group Leader. 

The sessions began with a lesson on “ Ice-breakers", which got everyone aquainted. 

Eventually, they moved on to discussions dealing with body language and teamwork. To 

make things fun, games were played to demonstrate these topics, such as “ Knots” , 

“ Elephants, Monkies and Palm Trees” , and “ Waterballoon Throw” . Some activities 

included creating objects from straws, having everyone try to sit on each other’s lap, and 

playing a game where everyone is assigned an “ animal” and all the Group Leaders try to 

find their match based on the sound the animal makes. !! The weekend concluded with a 

game of “ Bafa Bafa” , where two unusual cultures, the Alphas and the Betas, compare 

and contrast each other. 

Recreation time was very limited, but activities included swimming, canoeing, basketball, 

frisbee, a campfire on the first night or just sitting around. What should be said of the 

food is also very limited, as it didn’t agree with the palates of most of those there. 

Nevertheless, many new friends were made and a good time was shared by all, a good 

sign that many will be back next year.

The NJIT Christian Fellowship is an 

organization on campus that has the 

responsibility to teach the TRUE 

GOSPEL. The group functions together 

to give warning that everyone is under 

the wrath of God because of their sins. 

The TRUE GOSPEL, which is outlined 

by the Bible alone and in its entirety, 

tells us that we must forsake our 

rebellious ways and hang our whole 

lives on the God of the Bible in order 

to escape eternal damnation. The 

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP 

group accomplishes this task by weekly 

Bible studies, booktables, a radio 

station program, and personal 

counseling.

IFC: THE GOVERNING BODY OF FRATERNITIES 

The Interfraternity Council 

represents over 300 

students at NJIT. The 

Council consists of 28 

people, two from each 

fraternity. The IFC 

discusses various topics 

which affect the fraternities 

and their brothers. These 

include community service, 

service to the Institute, 

athletic activities, and social 

functions. Events such as 

the annual Spring Clean-up 

of High Street and the biannual 

Blood Drive are 

sponsored by the IFC. 

The most important 

function of the IFC is 

monitoring the activities of 

the fraternities during the 

rush period each semester, 

which include hot dog 

days, spaghetti dinners, 

and other daytime events. 

The IFC sets up a schedule 

so that each fraternity is given an equal chance 

to meet with the new freshmen. During the past 

year with the enactment of the new alcohol 

laws, the IFC worked interactively with the 

fraternities to prevent any violations. This is 

accomplished by encouraging non-alcoholic 

beverages at parties as a way as of restricting 

hard liquor during class time. 

The fraternities are a great asset to the 

Institute. It is the responsibility of the IFC to 

keep its membership as active as possible while 

upholding the policies of NJIT.

ALPHA SIGMA PHI 

COME ON 

BV 

Alpha Sigma Phi is one of NJIT's 

newest fraternities, yet also one of the 

oldest on campus. The Alpha Rho chapter 

here at NJIT has an interesting history. 

Originally founded as a local fraternity, Phi 

Delta Zeta, in 1907 at NCE, it became the 

Alpha chapter of a small national 

fraternity, Alpha Kappa Phi in 1921. In 

1946, Alpha Kappa Phi merged with 

Alpha Sigma Phi, a strong national 

fraternity founded at Yale in 1845, and the 

Alpha Rho chapter was born. But it 

became dormant in 1952 and stayed that 

way until 24 students re-chartered on 

January 29, 1982 at NJIT. 

Presently we are thirty-three strong and 

we still pride ourselves on sticking to our 

original beliefs of high academic 

standards, campus involvement, personal 

involvement, and anti-hazing. We firmly

SIGMA CHI EPSILON 

The members of Sigma Chi Epsilon 

are pleased to announce that their 

first full year of 1983 on campus has 

been a success. After thirteen years, 

Sigma Chi Epsilon has returned to 

campus and has since expanded 

from a beginning charter of twelve to 

fifteen members. The past year has 

allowed members to get to know 

each other, work together, and to 

grow closer as a sorority. 

Among the events held during the 

last two semesters are a Halloween 

pumpkin sale, ice cream social, bake 

sales, rush parties, and social events. 

In the near future, Sigma Chi Epsilon 

is hoping to organize a marathon 

dance in addition to community 

services, rush events, and pledging.

PHI LAMBDA SIGMA 

i 

Though the brotherhood of Phi 

Lambda Sigma is small in number, over 

the past year they’ve shown themselves 

to be a formidable opponent in the 

sports arena of the Interfraternity 

Council; and if they work hard, they 

play hard as well. The fraternity has 

seen some of its best parties in its 

history this past twelve months and is 

sure many more are to follow. 

Scholastically, 40% of the brotherhood 

has been on the Dean’s List and those 

who weren’t are striving for it with 

increased fervor.

KAPPA XI KAPPA 

Kappa Xi Kappa’s house is 

located on High Street. This 

fraternity house was created 

only four years ago when the 

seventeen brothers moved 

into it after leaving their old 

house on Central Ave. Their 

new house is a very big and 

comfortable one. This house 

is divided in three levels and 

a basement in which the 

brothers hold their very 

famous “ Beach Parties” . 

The Brotherhood of Kappa Xi 

Kappa fraternity is celebrating its 

20th aniversary this year. Kappa Xi is 

one of four local fraternities on the 

N.J.I.T. campus. This allows the 

brothers to hold varies idependent 

activities which include canoe trips, 

camping and hiking trips, and the 

recent two condo biannual ski trip. 

Parties are held every Thursday, 

so come visit the house and meet 

Kappa the Wonder dog (holder of a 

world class frisbee) and Xi the 

ferocious feline.

SIGMA PI 

Looking back on Sigma Pi’s sixty-second 

year on campus, the brothers of the Alpha Mu 

Chapter have much of which to be proud. 

Since its inception, Alpha Mu has tried to 

uphold the high standard of brotherhood, 

leadership, scholarship set by its founders. 

In the past year, Sigma Pi was IFC football 

champions for the ninth time in ten years. They 

have continued to be a dominant force in both 

IFC and Intramural athletics, placing well in all 

activities they have participated in. 

Alpha Mu's social calender was highlighted 

by the Orchid Ball, a formal dance held this 

year at the Springborne Manor in Union, NJ. 

Some of the more popular parties of last year 

were the Christmas Party, the Halloween Party, 

the Kamikazi Bash, and the Sunova Beach 

Party. 

In the field of community service, Alpha Mu 

did more than its share by donating time to the 

Newman Center and to NJIT’s Alumni 

Association. 

The year of 1983-84 has been a very busy 

and fruitful one for Sigma Pi, and the fraternity 

hopes it will be able to participate in and 

contribute to NJIT for many years to come.

TAU DELTA PHI 

This past year has been one of the 

most successful and prosperous in 

recent Tau Delta Phi history. Second 

place in both IFC basketball and 

football are to name but just a few 

of our accomplishments. Nationally, 

our chapter took second place in 

softball for the second year in a row. 

Social events are becoming a 

legend at Tau Delt with our wild 

Tasmanian Parties. 

In short, steeped in tradition and 

seasoned with just the right balance 

between idealism and realistic 

outlook, Tau Delta Phi can look back 

proudly on its accomplishments.

TAU LAMBDA CHI 

TAYl 

Tau Lambda Chi is a local fraternity 

concerned with only one item: brotherhood. 

Located at 299 High St., TAX celebrated its 

20th year in existance in 1983-84. 

This 20th anniversity capped a banner 

year for Tau Lambda Chi. In interfraternity 

athletics, we finished at the top in both 

basketball and bowling. Scholastically, 50 

percent of our brothers finished the term with 

Dean’s List honors, a distinction achieved by 

only 11 percent of the NJIT population. On 

the social scene, TAX’S “ Club 299” 

continued to be one of High St.’s hot spots. 

In spite of our small size, the brothers 

encompass a vast range of diverse interests 

and activities. Armchair quarterbacks, 

athletic standouts, the intellectual elite, sixyear 

men, and all the rest of NJIT’s “ future 

engineers” can find a place at Tau Lambda 

Chi. 

For the brothers of Tau Lambda Chi this 

year will be remembered for “ North Bogus” , 

“ CMS kitchen fines” , “ many hot P’s in the 

stands” , “ cha-cha” , “ the eternal pledge” , 

“ it takes a thief” , “ conGLOMorates” , “ F’s

THETA CHI 

The Epsilon Psi chapter of Theta Chi at 

NJIT was installed on December 8, 1963. 

Presently there are 40 brothers, each coming 

from a different background. 

Theta Chi’s social calender is the envy of 

all Greeks. Not only do we have a party 

each week, but each party is a new 

experience as any survivor of a Buffalo Brew 

party can tell. Aside from our parties, there 

are also our Hotdog Days, where a rushee 

can get a better feeling for our brotherhood. 

Theta Chi is also a strong force in interfraternity 

athletics, and always has a good 

showing at the Greek Olympics and Turkey 

Trot. 

Being just one chapter of a very large 

national fraternity, we often have the 

opportunity to visit other chapters at other 

schools across the nation. Each year we 

attend a regional conference for all chapters 

in the Northeast. Also, this year many of the 

brothers took a road trip to the national 

convention in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

Theta Chi, however, is not only fun and 

games. We realize the primary importance of 

education; hence our slogan: Alma Mater 

first, Theta Chi for Alma Mater. No matter 

what problem a brother or a pledge may 

have in a course there is another brother in the house 

who has had the course and is willing to lend a helping 

hand. Aside from the help one may get from the 

brothers there is also our files, library, and new minicomputer. 

Academic excellence is evident by Theta 

Chi’s eight active honor society memberships and a 

continual host of Dean’s List recipients. Apart from 

being active in the fraternity, Theta Chi brothers can be 

found on many varsity sports, Miniversity staff, 

professional societies, NJIT faculty, and many campus 

clubs.

ALPHA SIGMA TAU 

Alpha Sigma Tau has the proud distinction of 

being the first national sorority ever to be 

founded at NJIT. AST was formed in 1899 in 

Michigan. On April 30, 1983, the Beta Upsilon 

Chapter was installed. Thirty four NJIT women 

were initiated as the founding sisters. Since 

then, AST's membership has gone to 41 sisters 

and an additional three pledges. 

The purpose of Alpha Sigma Tau is to 

promote the social, ethical and cultural 

development of each and every member. Being 

newly formed, the AST sisters are striving to 

achieve these goals through sisterhood and 

gain knowledge by contributing their share to 

school and community activities and programs. 

In the past, Alpha Sigma Tau has participated 

in such community activities and holiday parties 

for the children at St. Michael’s Hospital in 

Newark and a Christmas toy donation to 

Shriner’s Orphanage. 

Alpha Sigma Tau sisters help out all over 

campus. Some of the events the sisters have 

assisted in, are the NJIT Soccer team’s 

Soccerthon, the Alumni Association’s 

phonathon and campus Homecoming. AST’s 

faculty advisors are JoAnn Dixon and June 

Launay. 

The sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau hope to 

become more involved in campus and 

community activities as we celebrate our first 

year. We extend a warm welcome to all those 

entering NJIT and wish good luck to a all those 

graduating.

CHEERLEADING 

The 1983-84 NJIT cheerleaders 

finished yet another season of 

excellence and improvement. 

Under the direction of Sharon 

Sindet, the cheerleaders became a 

close knit squad, which showed 

through in their cheers and school 

spirit. 

There were many ups and 

downs in the season the biggest 

downer being that of broken 

promises. Because of low funds, 

the cheerleaders could not go to 

their annual summer camp and 

new uniforms could not be 

purchased. They also did not go 

to Chicago with the basketball 

players for the IIT tournament. 

Finally, the soccer players and 

fans alike were disappointed with 

the absence of cheerleaders at 

their games this year. 

However, many good things can 

be said about them. There has 

been a tremendous improvement 

in their cheers, mainly because of 

the hard work the cheerleaders 

put in during practice. The 

cheerleaders themsevles have 

gotten better, perfecting old stunts 

and learning more difficult ones. 

There is a deep sense of togetherness on 

the squad, as the old members teach new 

members, and vice versa. Finally, the 

addition of guys on the team help to build 

harder pyramids and do more dual stunts. 

By far the highlight of the season was 

having the privilege to cheer at the Byrne 

Meadowlands Arena, when the basketball 

team played against Trenton State there. 

The cheerleaders should be congratulated 

for their outstanding performance and 

efforts. As for next year, most of the 

squad will return to once again cheer NJIT 

teams to victory.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL 

The NJIT Women’s Volleyball 

team completed its season with 

an overall record of 6 wins and 15 

losses. Coach Dave Denure was 

pleased with the way the girls 

played against the tougher teams. 

The season included a trip to 

Atlantic City, which resulted in a 

victory over Jersey City State. The 

team also took part in a two day 

tournament at East Stroudsbourg 

in Pennsylvania. 

The final match of the season 

was played at SUNY at Old 

Westbury, NY. It was a thrilling 

five-game victory for the team 

whose members saw alot of court 

action. 

This year’s team was led by 

captains, senior Becky Miranda 

and junior Heidi Harting. 

As one team member Marilyn 

Dawson put it “ It was a great 

season. We’ve all improved 

enormously and enjoyed ourselves 

a great deal. Most importantly, we 

have formed some great 

friendships and had a terrific 

time.”

The 1983 NJIT soccer team 

enjoyed another fine season. Their 

record of 9-6-3 enabled them to 

qualify once again for the ECAC 

(NY/NJ) playoffs. 

Highlights of the season include 

big victories against Bloomsburg 

State, Rutgers-Newark, and 

Upsala. Many of their losses, such 

as those to Scranton and Kean, 

were against nationally ranked 

teams. In the ECAC playoffs, a 

shootout victoryover Stockton 

State in the semi-finals brought 

them to the finals against 

Kingspoint, only to lose by a 

score of 5-1. Finally, 

congratulations are in store for cocaptain 

Ray Paulius, who was 

named to the Division III All- 

American Soccer Team. 

Under the direction of Mai 

Simon, in his final year, Efrain 

Borja, and assisstant coaches 

Nelson Gralha and Jeff Caputi, the 

team was evenly balanced, 

producing many good players. 

However, injuries and academics 

became a major obstacle in the 

middle of the season, especially in 

goal where the team went through 

four goalies. The team will lose 

many senior members, but to fill 

their shoes include many 

underclassmen who show 

tremendous potential.

DOWNHILL SKI TEAM 

Downhill skying, the sport that 

encompasses grace, strength, 

flexibility, and coordination has 

demonstrated renewed progress 

this year, at NJIT. Under the 

supervision and guidance of coach 

Ted Paliwoda, the team advanced 

their abilities to achieve personal 

rather than team records. 

To emphasize the tremendous 

potential that lies within this team 

mention must be made to 

outstanding freshmen like Tom 

Flannery, R Chin and J. Treptow, 

whose perseverense is admirable. 

Generally speaking the team 

reaches its stablished goal: To 

gain experience and improve skills 

rather than concentrate on high 

scores.

coach Henry McCloud's harriers 

ran to a winning record of 8-7. 

This is a drastic improvement over 

last season’s dismal 2-11 effort. 

An excellent recruit of freshman 

runners gave the team the 

necessary depth to become a 

winner. Of the team’s top seven 

members only Steel will be lost to 

graduation, so next season’s 

recruiting looks very promising. 

Highlights of the season include 

two upset victories over local 

powerhouse Montclair State, the 

third and fourth place finishes of 

Steel and Troast in the 

Conference Championship meet, 

and the “ Fun” week spent 

training in Vermont.

Coach Oleg Moiseenko who has 

been coaching the Men’s 

volleyball team for the last four 

years, has been pleased with the 

overall performance of the team 

this year. Goals for the team 

included increasing team wins as 

well as improving individual skills. 

Outstanding acomplishments were 

achieved by A.J. Alcantara, H. 

Mckenna, and P. Chin, whose 

performance achieved a winning 

match in many occasions. 

The coach’s philosophy, to 

prepare each athlete and the 

team as a whole, to be as good 

as their potential allows, has 

proven true on many occasions. 

Hard work and dedication has 

made the men one of the top 

teams in the state.

GOLF 

The Golf team for this spring semester 

is stronger than ever. Peter Montllor, the 

coach has set great tasks for his team to 

meet. Some of these tasks include the 

improvement of skills, achievement of 

records, winning or simply “ getting it in 

the hole.” 

Within this team we find great potential 

and most of it is concentrated in two of 

the best players. These players have what 

a great golf player should have a 

challenging spirit. We are talking about 

Kevin Osetec and Stewart Bennsion. The 

NJIT Golf team is widely known through 

the tri-state area; they have competed in 

several tournaments and kept a consistent 

record of three and two even though four 

matches were postponed because of the 

weather. Even though they have had great 

difficulty with schools like Ramapo, they 

never gave up and they still kept their 

“ Challenging Spirit.” 

Coaches’ Corner: 

The ’84 Golf team played in various 

tournaments, including the prestigious 

Metropolitan Collegite Championship. Most 

valuable Player was Kevin Ostec. 

Freshman John Liskonitz, sophomores 

Stewart Bennion, George Anacuta and 

juniors Ed MacDonald were also team 

standouts. Also competing for the 

Highlanders, seniors Warren Zellco, Gary 

Gasper, and new players Mike Garmon 

and Alan Schmitt. Results of our team will 

be published this fall.

Once a student becomes a junior, nearly three quarters of their 

coliege experience is over. By this time, students specialize in more 

courses that are directly associated with their chosen field of interest. 

For example, EE's finally learn how computer circuits work, ME’s 

learn the applications of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, while 

architecture students learn how to design a structurally sound 

building. 

By the end of junior year, many of those grueling math and 

physics classes are now history. At this point, there is no turning 

back. High school memories begin to fade faster while thoughts of 

success and career goals predominate. Many juniors opt to go on 

the Co-op program so they can gain valuable on-the-job experience. 

Overall, juniors begin to recognize the demands of the “ real world” 

and the strong competition that exists in it.

With the change of the legal drinking age from 19 to 21. the 1984 class of juniors are part of the last junior class statewide that can legally 

consume alcolholic beverages Thus NJIT's first and last Junior Pub Night in the fall semester was also its last. Nevertheless, juniors are active in 

sponsoring and partaking in other school activities including mixers, team sports, and school government. 

As members of the junior class read these pages dedicated to them, most are already considered seniors. Now they are ready to start the last year 

of their undergraduate education We, the members of the NUCLEUS, would like to wish you the best of luck and these final words of advice: Go for 

it! Make the best you can.

The freshmen who does not drop out or 

transfer will most likely go on to graduate from 

NJIT. After taking 28 credits the NJIT student is 

finally considered a sophomore. This usually 

takes two or three semesters to do. 

Being a sophomore can be considered a 

relief. Those aggravating freshmen courses 

which have nothing to do with one’s major are 

over. Also, sophomores are already used to life 

at college; they handle responsibility better and 

know how the school works, so surprises are 

few. Finally, just the name “ sophomore” which 

in Greek means “ wise fool” sounds much 

better than “ freshmen, a term which is usually 

considered derogatory and “ low life” . 

It is in the sophomore year that most transfer 

students come in. More importantly, however, 

sophomore year begins the “ gut” courses, that 

is, those that pertain to one’s major. Basic 

courses such as introductions to Computer 

Science, Electrical, Industrial, or Mechanical 

Engineering, Mechanics, Surveying, Economics, 

“ P-Chem” or studio are taught to give 

sophomores an idea of what they’re in store 

for. Most changes of major are done during this 

year, since no time is lost in taking “ wasted” 

courses. Thus, the sophomores usually leaves 

their second year of NJIT with an idea of what 

they want to do with themselves after college.

Like all other classes, sophs love to 

hang out after class, but, unlike most 

freshmen, the now experienced sophs 

get involved in extracurricular activities. 

If not involved by sophomore year, a 

student will probably never get involved. 

The sophomore participating in 

activities begins to move up in an 

organization and may even be given 

titles. There are sophomore leaders in 

SAC, the Senate, The NUCLEUS, the 

ski team, the Vector, fraternities, and 

other organizations. Unfortunately, this 

class is the only one without a 

government, since the President 

resigned without a Class Council. 

Consequently, no events were 

sponsored by the sophs. 

Once sophomore year is completed, 

students can be considered to be “ over 

the hump” . Half of their college career 

is already over, but the worst may be 

yet to come!

FRESHMEN 

The 1983 freshmen class of NJIT was 

officially welcomed to the college on August 

30th during Miniversity. Most experienced 

feelings of nervousness and confusion as they 

found their way around campus using their 

maps. 

Indeed, being a freshmen can be the pits. 

Being away from the simple life of high school, 

the frosh find themselves into another world. 

Now, they must do everything for themselves 

and are responsible for all their actions, since 

no one tells them what to do. Experienced 

sophomores and juniors are used to such things 

as buying books, making up schedules, and 

dealing with the finance office. Even the first 

exam can be traumatic for freshmen. In time 

though, life for freshmen settles down and 

becomes a routine they get used to. 

On going to class, freshmen are divided into 

sections and take the same classes together. 

For the engineering frosh, courses include 

Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, EG and CIS 101. 

Architects take Intro, to Design and Drawing, 

and People and their Environment. All BSIA 

students take Accounting. However, all frosh 

are subjected to zero credits of gym and 

Orientation, and three credits apiece of English 

and “ Hum” . In these classes, the freshmen 

may be introduced to college lectures designed 

to cure insomnia, labs designed to destroy 

physical substances, and studio, designed to 

warp minds.

FRESHMEN 

Outside of class, freshmen behave like any other class. They eat 

in the “ caf” , lounge out in the Center, play video games, or go 

home. A few, however, start to become involved in extracirricular 

activities. Involvement, though is usually minimal because most 

freshmen concentrate on academics their first year. Nevertheless, 

freshmen are making their names known in organizations such as 

the Senate (with their ten representatives), the NUCLEUS, in 

sports such as soccer and basketball, and in fraternities. 

Some have said that freshmen year is the easiest; some, just 

the opposite. Only time will tell what will become of this class, the 

newest group and the future of NJIT.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION 

The institute’s Cooperative Education 

program, which began in 1976, 

has become very popular in recent 

years. Co-oping adds a full year to the 

time required to complete a degree 

program. It allows students to be employed 

in local businesses and industries 

where they spend two six month 

work periods earning a full time salary, 

and getting professional work experience 

in their field.

oppurtunities to the fullest extent. 

Some of the many projects assigned to me included the revamping of an 

inspection work order system and the study of the station’s consumption of 

municipal water. Upon completing both six-month terms of employment, I 

feel confident of my ability to tackle problems of any magnitude in a 

professional manner. For me, the program has proved to be a great 

success.”

Engineer College Co-op Student. 

My duties were to help the other customer engineers with the services 

such as installation, and removal of IBM equipment at local industrial and 

commercial sites, and to provide the customer with preventative 

maintenance services, and help take service calls in the event of hardware 

failure. 

Most of the time, I worked on input and output devices tor System 370's, 

and system 380’s; IBM 3420 Tape Drive Machines, IBM 3380 Disk Drive 

machines, and IBM 3211 Printers, among other machines. I worked on site 

at several IBM customer locations such as K-Mart Apparel, Time Inc., Sea 

Land Services, Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company, Clark O'Neil, Hartz 

Mountain Industries, and others. 

I Learned much about IBM computer systems, and what it takes to keep 

large commercial computer systems going. Thanks very much to Branch 

Manager Bob Kunshaft, Field manager Bill Slater, Jerry, Maurice, Gene, Joe, 

Bob, and everyone who I worked with at IBM service, 279. Co-oping, was 

certainly worthwhile!

HYPNOTIST 

John Kolisch, the world’s fastest 

hypnotist appeared at the center. 

Student volunteers were hypnotised, as 

the school watched. The hypnotist 

demonstrated hypnosis, as he had 

students be “ who they want to be.” 

Later in the program, he showed that 

hypnosis can create strength and 

immunity, as he conducted two 

demonstrations; one with a student, 

who was stiff as a board, and another 

with himself, showing that he feels no 

pain when hypnotised. 

Among the student volunteers were 

‘‘Bruce Springsteen,” ‘‘Diana Ross,” 

‘‘Muhammad Ali,” and a speaker on 

women’s liberation. The students, later 

brought out of hypnosis, were asked 

about who they were and what they 

did. None were aware of the roles that 

they assumed. 

The hypnotist said that hypnosis is a 

very relaxed state of mind; beneficial to 

self realization and self growth of the 

individual. He demonstrated that one 

has unbelieveable power over himself in 

the state of hypnosis. 

Large P icture (Top): Students are controlled by 

the hypnotist, as they all respond to “ raise your 

right hand if the answer is yes”

Right Colum n: Top: Some students are really 

hypnotised, while others, quite awake laugh at 

the silliness of the matter. 

M iddle: A student thinks he is Bruce 

Springsteen, and as the Hypnotist says, “ Here’s 

Bruce opening up with his first number," yells out 

the first verse of "Born to Run,” Just like Bruce.

MODERN ENGLISH CONCERT 

What does one write about a concert that 

was not very memorable? The Senate 

Concert Committee worked hard to make 

this event successful but it did not quite 

make it. The acoustics were poor, the band 

only played one hour, and most of the crowd 

did not seem into the music. Maybe this was 

due to the fact that the concert was held 

towards the end of the semester and a lot of 

people were too bogged down with 

schoolwork. 

Nevertheless, some did have a good time 

and danced to the new wave sounds of the 

British group. Their most famous song, " I’ll 

Stop the World and Melt With You,” caused 

the greatest response. It was at this time 

that most people got up to dance. Perhaps 

the most memorable aspect of the concert 

was the lead guitarist’s hair. One wondered if 

he ever got a comb through it all!

evening that was enjoyed by all. These four pages 

capture some of the “ special moments” of an evening 

of good food, good friends, and great fun!!

GRADUATION 84 

R eflections on G raduation by Arlene McKenna 

Graduation was very memorable for me. I remember 

hoping that it would be sunny and then rejoicing when I 

awakened to a crystal clear, blue day. Yes. the weather 

was beautiful on that Thursday. 

It was a perfect day for a tailgate party. There were 

many going on but the one I will never forget was 

hosted by two of the most "experienced" tailgaters of 

them all— Dr. and Mrs. Schopfer. They had an entire 

bar in a cooler as well as assorted snacks. Everything 

was neatly arranged on a table with a tablecloth. There 

was even a centerpiece! After drinking a strong Bloody 

Mary I had to leave these entertaining people to 

"assemble" 

Assembled on the hill, the future graduates looked 

anxious to receive their degrees. While it was a long 

ceremony (somewhere around 2 'i hours), it was filled 

with several humorous moments that will never be 

forgotten Thomas dePoortere's Class Address 

highlighted everything that was NJIT. From the art of 

finding a parking space to eating in the Pub, he made 

us laugh and reminisce. And then there was poor Ding 

Dang. Everybody there will remember that graduate's 

name. Finally, there was the phonetics system. The 

people reading the names had a hard time pronouncing 

not only the foreign names but easy names like Ziccardi 

and Fracaro as well (Ha! Ha!). C'est la vie. 

Overall, graduation was a day filled with many mixed 

emotions. While I was happy to be graduating, I was 

sad at the thought that I might never see some people 

again. Would I stay in touch with my NJIT friends? 

Thus, it was a day filled with sadness, excitement, but 

most of all— happiness. A major stage of my life was 

over and another was beginning. I must admit that I had 

a good time in college and will probably miss it. There 

comes a time, however, when one has to say goodbye 

so here it goes— "So long NJIT!"

INTRODUCING THE STAFF 

^M hhr 

It seems like only yesterday that 

I was faced with my decision 

concerning becoming involved 

with the 1984 yearbook. I felt very 

honored to have the responsibility 

of being editor, but I was unaware 

of the difficulties that would lie 

ahead when I accepted the 

position 

I remember starting our first 

organizational meeting in Room 

323C on a Wednesday afternoon 

last April. We started then with a 

small inexperienced staff of four 

people with myself a novice as 

well. Sooner than we expected the 

school year started, and we were 

faced with capturing it for this 

yearbook. It was almost comical 

to watch us seemingly try to 

organize and do everything at 

once! The basic concept 

appeared so easy, to layout a 

page with art, photos, and copy. 

It could be done in half an hour . 

. . dream on!! We soon had a 

problem, who takes the photos, 

who draws the art, who writes the 

copy, and even better, who 

organizes the money. (This is not 

a multiple choice question.) Thank 

goodness, in time, my dedicated 

friends and staff found the crucial 

answers . . . we have to do 

everything ourselves! 

As editor I watched something 

that I had planned on working on 

one hour or two a week, grow to 

almost occupy my life. The 

Nucleus seemed to absorb all of 

my free time at school and home, 

the time I alloted for homework, 

and eventually, my class time! 

Soon, just like a giant sponge, it 

absorbed by GPA! . . . so much 

for the gory details. 

Now for the “ good stuff” . I 

think the 1984 Nucleus was a 

learning experience for myself and 

all the people who helped in its 

production. I would like to thank 

my staff for their support, and for 

sticking by me til the end. A 

special thanks to Ron, Cris, Mike, 

Dave. Paul, Bonnie, and all the 

others who are mentioned on 

there pages. The book wouldn’t 

“ be” without you. I hope that the 

"signs of 1984” which you now 

hold will be an important 

milestone in your life, it certainly 

was in mine.

British soldier in a doorway 

Shivers through the morning cold, 

And waits. 

Listening, wondering, when it's over 

(Will it ever be over?) 

Can he ever go home again? 

Russian soldier, hurt and bleeding, 

Knows he'll never walk again 

And cries. 


(Is it already over?) 


Cuban soldier in Angola 

Tells himself he will survive, 

And prays. 


(It will never be over!) 


And the man sitting next to me wanted to know, 

"What was it like in Viet Nam?" 

I thought a minute, and said to him, 

"It was like Northern Ireland, 

Or Afghanistan, 

Or Angola, 

Or anywhere else where men of high morals 

But no conscience seek to become heroes 

With somebody else’s blood. 

Where governments seek to grow bigger and stronger 

By eating their young in foreign cafes." 

"I see," said he, "you're a pacifist." 

"No," I replied, "I'm a human being."

Memories from a Porch Swing 

My kids are playing outside. 

I can see them now, with red cheeks, 

frost from their breaths marking a trail, 

snow down their necks, 

blissfully unaware of the cold. 

See? Now they're rolling in the snow. 

I can hear them laughing, the harmonic 

tinkling of soft bells on a quiet night. 

Lights in their eyes reminding me 

of their humanity, their charming life. 

Ah, now they're coming in. My sons. 

I can feel their warm hands, faces, underneath 

the frost and snow. Feel the 

exuberance of living rolling from them, 

touching my paternal soul with their life. 

Now, a hug from them for dad. 

I can taste the kisses they have for me. 

Something beyond the earthly sense, 

ethereal in quality, sending messages 

to my heart, creating life within me. 

My kids are asleep for now. 

I can catch their scent in the air, a unique 

fragrance of boyish life, boyhood dreams, 

something I can't forget, like my own 

childhood times, a past they let me remember. 

Both boys are grown now. Men. 

I know their love, and somehow, regret their manhood. 

They are sitting as I sat, consuming the life-aura 

of their children, living with their senses, 

and, nodding their heads, understanding 

their father's smile.

If you are a normal person, would you support homosexuality and 

make it popular? Well, stop listening to and watching the so 

popular rock band Culture Club, with Boy George, and do what 

you can to boycott the group’s HOMOSEXUAL MUSIC AND 

VIDEOS. EJR

The Booster section of the 

N ucleus was designed to give 

students the chance to express 

their feelings and ideas to the 

members of the Class of 1984-or 

at least to a select few who may 

actually understand them!

SIGNS OF DEPARTURE 

254 

Each day in our lives seems to go 

by so quickly. Sometimes we wonder 

where all the time went. Maybe we 

come home feeling like we haven’t 

succeeded, and we are eager to 

start the next day and give it our all. 

Day after day we solve problems, 

only to be confronted by new ones. 

We get used to our patterns, seeing 

the same signs day after day. 

Suddenly we realize that we are 

nearing the end of our long drive to 

a new destination. We have reached 

our goal. We will not see the old 

familiar signs of going to NJIT 

anymore. On our last day of classes 

or just after our last final exam when 

we are ending our career at NJIT, we 

are forced to make decisions 

concerning our future. By then we 

may see things in a new way. We 

leave with a collection of memories 

and hopefully the skills and wisdom
