"o you remember your first trip to the bus stop, only to see the LX go flying by? Or how about seeing that cute guy/girl in Tillett and later learn- ing that they lived downstairs from you? From Freshman orientation to Senior graduation, a Rutgers Univer- sity experience is full of new and ex- citing adventures. As Freshmen, we learned that whites and colors should not be washed together. But then again who is going to notice your new pink socks? We shared horror sto- ries about our roommates, expressed our individuality, and learned to not always judge a book by its cover. By the time Sophomore year rolled around, we had seen the RU Screw, learned how to open those crazy LPO boxes, and realized that just because you go to sleep at 5:00 AM, that not everyone else does. Junior and Se- nior years flew by and friends arrived and parted, leaving many memories behind. Throughout the years at Rutgers we grew both socially and educationally, and we found that de- spite our differences, we were united, for Livingston College was our Com- mon Ground.

u,
pon entering college you left your old friends behind and set out to start anew with many new people to meet. Meeting new people became an interesting and exciting idea, Your new best friend might have been someone that sat next to you in class, lived down the hall, or maybe even your roommate. Once you estab- lished a new group of friends, they were there for the good times and the bad. They were the ones that you ran to when you needed advise, wanted to watch a movie, or just hang out. With your friends, college became a very dif- ferent experience. They helped to mold who you are and filled your years at Rutgers with both hap- piness and sadness. Although it is difficult to let go at graduation, in your heart the memories and the true bonds that developed will live on. You will never forget them. So, give one of your friends a call right now!

ivingston College became our home away from home. We lived so much of our lives the past four or five years on campus. The moments came and went. If we were lucky, we shared these moments with our friends and will remember them for the rest of our lives. We may not have noticed along the way, but Livingston College and Rutgers University had so much to offer, so many opportunities to take advantage of, so many people to meet, and so many things to do. After awhile, we tend to think less and less about our disappointments and struggles and more about the things that made us smile. From the very first moment at orientation to the very last moment at commencement, we shared every experience with the people we grew to know, care about and even love. We became part of a community that gave more to us then we could have ever hoped to receive. We wish that we could have frozen some of our moments in time and re- live them whenever we wished.

ollege is a period of exploration. As we entered our first -year residence hall rooms, we were filled with anxi- ety and uncertainty. We eventually ventured out of the room, met new people, and learned to cope with those embarrassing stories that slipped out of those we knew from high school. We walked around campus, marvelled at the magnitude of Lucy Stone Hall, and naively asked where the fourth Quad was, along the way to the Stu- dent Center. We learned how to get from class to class, campus to cam- pus. By learning our way around, we discovered many new places. Through the years, we decided upon our favorite classroom, lounging spot, restaurant, and that special place to met our boyfriend /girlfriend. Excur- sions to the "Grease Trucks," frater- nity parties, and getting lost in the surrounding area are shared experi- ences of all Rutgers Students. The unfamiliar world outside of the resi- dence halls became a place of good times, bad times, laughs, cries, and many unforgettable memories. For once we truly looked around, we had discovered Rutgers University.
You could not escape Rutgers without discov- ering the "Crease Trucks." The gate to Old Queens. Douglass College offers some beautiful walkways.
Walking around Livingston College, you found many different paths to choose from to get from one location to another. While you travel down each one, you had time to think about where you were going.
J7 utting the past behind us. You have taken as many classes as you can. All the studying and learning that you could do at college is done. It is now time to apply the knowledge that you have collected over the years. Livingston College helped you grow into the adults that you are today. There are may different paths which you could take now. You may choose to continue your education and get a higher degree at graduate school, or you may want to enter the good old American work force. The hunt for a job has become too familiar to many of you as you have spent most of your last semester sending out resumes to millions of different places. Maybe you've decided that neither of these options are right for you, and you want to take sometime to travel. Plus, you let yourself think about getting married and raising your own fam- ily. Whatever you may do, Livingston College laid the foundation on which you can now build your future and put the past behind you. However, you will never forget your college

he future begins with the ending of another chapter of our lives. When we left high school and first came to Livingston, it seem that there were too many pages to get through and the end of the college chapter was too far to really think about yet. We ap- proached college life one day at a time. Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break was how we measured our time in college. Before we knew it, we had completed four semesters of college and entered our junior year. The end of the college chapter was just around the corner. We had to finally decide on our major and start giving some serious thought to what we were plan- ning to do for the rest of our lives. If we did our homework, those decisions were a little easier to make. Whether it took you four or five years to gradu- ate, it didn't matter in the end. Col- lege wasn't just about studying and getting done, but about learning and discovering who we are and picking one last course, our future.
Friends holding on to the college chapter just a little bit longer. Pride and joy as the chapter begins to close. Taking a short cut started by so many so long ago.

Student Life is everything that happened outside of the classroom. Student Life is made up of the times you will always remember and some you wish you could forget. It is the time when you moved onto campus and met your first roommate; who either became your worst enemy or your best friend. It was going to the Recre- ation Center to work off the meal you just ate at Tillett. It was the Alcohol Awareness Week party that you at- tended at the Student Center. It was exploring College Avenue and the rest of the university. Student Life was all the stuff that happen to you as you earned your col- lege degree. It was made up of the laughs and fun times. The friends you made, the lessons you learned, the risks you took all contributed to the person you are today. Going to class earn you a diploma; Student Life taught you about yourself.

The Livingston Student Center is the heart of the campus. It is the place where students can take a break from their busy schedules and relax a little. The LSC is home to many stu- dent organizations and hosts most of the events that occur on campus. The food court offers a number of dining options including Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts and the new Rock Cafe. The LSC houses a Game Room, Video Store and the Sweet Shoppe. Commuter Students make good use of the Commuter Lounge to rest and catch up with new friends. The Livingston Stu- dent Center might be small, but the students and staff make the most of it. It is a great place to build community and allows individuals the opportunity to grow and learn outside of the classroom.

Every year the college sponsors activities geared towards nothing but fun and relaxation. Two of these events are scheduled through the Livingston Student Center. Livingston College's annual Springfest is a longtime tra- dition and is accomplished with the help of student volunteers and organizations. This fun in the sun event was moved indoors to the Recreation Center due to looming thunder clouds. However, the crowds made the short trek and had a blast. The other is a growing tradition called Campusfest were sponsors come to campus to promote their products, but also bring fun games and lots of giveaways. Both events are perfect breaks for students from their busy academic schedules.

SOURCE
Students are all so picky about what they eat until 2 in the morning. Almost all of us have enjoyed the zesty options offered by Tillett that we only looked for alternate sources of sub- stance to simply diversify our taste buds. Did it mean heading over to one of the Student Centers, ordering in or the "Grease Trucks," we found something to eat. Also, there were all does wonderful events that offered free food. Regardless of what we ate, eating was a major part of college life. We enjoyed the con- versations with our friends and classmates and how many times will you tell the story about going to a dinner with friends after at 4 A.M.. Plus, now that you are on your own Tillett doesn't seem that bad unless your mom still cooks for you.

The Recreation Center is the perfect opportu- nity for students to relieve some tension and get back into shape. The inside facility offers an exercise room, weight room and gym for basketball, hockey and volleyball. While out- side there are fields for softball and football, courts for tennis, hockey, basketball and a beach volleyball pit. The Recreation Center offers tons of intramural sport leagues and other health related programs. It has been the home for large concerts and rained on Springfests. Whether you went down to get into a pick up game, lift some weights or par- ticipate in a competitive league, you could al- ways have fun and break a sweat.

he fun TIMES
More than half your college experience occurs outside of the classroom. Some of your most memorable moments happen with your friends while simply hanging out and having fun. Stu- dent Life includes having good times, making lasting connections and enjoying yourself. Everyone needs to do things just for the fun of it and college offers the excellent opportunity to be yourself, smile and laugh out loud. If you didn't let go a little, you would lose your mind. So no matter how important it was to go to class, study and do your homework, you needed to include the fun times.

LIFE
Living on campus has its advantages and disadvantages. Your Residence Life experiences were filled with frus- tration and great times. You learned so much about your- self and others, a lot of things you really did not care to know, while living on. Sharing became a four letter word especially when you had to share the bathroom with 12 other people, or when your roommate shared your stuff without asking. Then, there were all those RAs. You re- member them, they were always begging you to come to a program or stopping the party just when it started to get good. However, they also talked to you for hours during the middle of the night after your girlfriend broke up with you. Then, they introduced you to someone new a week later, and you are still dating her. Living on cam- pus was a roller coaster of a ride, and one you would definitely get on again.

EVERY MINUTE
The Resident Advisors have the hardest job one could ever truly enjoy. Whether you
loved or hated them, sooner or later, you were glad to have them around. From 3 A.M. lockouts to roommate conflicts to pizza they bought for their residents just to get them to a program, they tried to make your experience living on campus that much better. The RAs are a rare bunch. They are always doing something and never seem to have any- time your themselves. They count on each other for support and a helping hand. RAs spend tons of time in training and preparation for each upcoming year. During this time they become a close team of fellow staff members and friends. Resident Advisors are living every minute with something else to do.

They come in great numbers looking a bit lost. They have their parents or significant other close behind carrying their belongings. Some have brought everything they own. While others bring only the basic. Their arrival is made a little easier by the help of the Welcome Week volunteers; they grab a footlocker from the father who is about to collapse from exhaustion. They meet their Resident Advisor for the first time and re- ceive their official welcome to living on campus. Then the fun begins, those students that brought everything try to figure out were to put all their stuff as their roommate walks in with twice as much. However, must students don't have a problem making their little room feel a little like home.

Living on campus can lead to a lifetime of experiences that you just can't get anywhere else. It is your own version of the "Real World" just without the cameras. Where was the better place to live the Towers or the Quads, and don't forget about Nichols? It didn't really matter where you lived; you still dealt with the same situations, doing laundry, phone bills, roommates, sharing a bathroom with 12 other people, getting locked out, late night food deliveries and learning to fend for yourself. You may have learn some hard lessons along the way, but you also had some great times and made lasting friend- ships. There was always someone to hang with even if there was nothing to do. How- ever, you always found something to do.

rganizations
Getting involved on campus can definitely add to your overall college experience. Livingston College and Rutgers University have over a hundred different clubs and organizations to join. Also, if you did not find one that filled your needs, you were able to with three other students start a new one. When your job searching be- gan, you were sure to hear "what did you do while you were in school". When you were able to say "I develop leadership skills as the president of...," it did make a difference on your interview. Most importantly, when you got involved in student organizations, you took control over of what you did and enjoyed on campus. You had a direct impact on yours and others college experience. You made new friends and contacts that you still benefit from today.
66
Every year the executive board members of the Living- ston clubs and organizations are invited to a Leadership Workshop sponsored by the Student Center. The dedicated students return to school early to participate in the day long activity of silly games and informative sessions. The Leadership Workshop also allows the leaders of the dif- ferent clubs to meet and interact, sharing their challenges and ideas. These students set the tone for the upcoming year and truly have an affect on the number and quality of events occurring at Livingston. They have the difficult task of keeping their organization's members motivated. We hope they can learn just a little bit from the workshop to help them lead the way.

The college recognizes the contributions made by the stu- dents through the annual Achievement Reception. Those students who have performed well academically, go be- yond the call at their jobs, and get involved with clubs and organizations are nominated by the staff. These nomina- tions result in the accumulation of points which translate to the awarding of college pins. The reception is the college's way of saying thanks and more importantly dem- onstrating that it is the students who really make a differ- ence and have a daily impact on the success of the college. Also, it offers a great opportunity for students to interact with their peers and the college staff. If a student earns 3 or more points they are invited to the Deans Award Ban- quet during their senior year.

The Livingston College Governing association, known as the LCGA, is the represented voice of the student body. The LCGA consists of four committees which actively seek feedback from the students to help influence the decisions that they make. The LCGA disburses student fees to the recognized student clubs and organizations of the college, and make special event allocations to support the program- ming and activities efforts of these student groups. Mem- bers are on college and university wide committees to guar- antee that the student concerns are heard involving issues that directly effect their daily lives as students. General Body meetings are open to all students to attend and speak during the public sector portion of the agenda.

The Livingston Program Board (LPB) is made up of very dedicated volunteers who work hard to bring a diversity of events and activities to campus. LPB plans comedy, variety, musical, cultural and may other social and cul- tural events. They also schedule off campus events like trips to Great Adventure, New York City, Plays and Musi- cals. They organize the Opening Week Poster sale and play an instrumental role in the planning and success of Springfest. LPB's efforts give student something else to do besides study. Most of their events are free or the cost is greatly reduced to allow as many students to participate as possible. Anyone can get involved through their activ- ity committees and have an instant impact on what hap- pens at their college.

Livingston's Own Concert Organization (LOCO) brings top name musical entertainment to campus. The students work hard every year fighting a budget too small to re- main competitive. However, the organization is still able to bring names that students know and come out to hear. LOCO brings upcoming local bands to campus for their annual Battle of the Bands. The winner of this event opens at Springfest. LOCO also brings four or five additional acts to Springfest. This years headliner was Dougie Fresh. LOCO offers students the possibility of getting involved with every aspect of concert planning from contracts to hospitality and everything else in between. LOCO keeps the campus humming to a diversity of musical styles.

WRLC is Livingston's radio station and the staff works very hard to keep it that way. With limited funding for a radio station, WRLC has learn to survive with some additional financial help from the LCGA throughout the year. This year was a prominent one for the radio station. They estab- lished a relationship with the Piscataway High School and began sharing time on their FM frequency. In addition, the radio station can easily make claim to the club with the largest number of active members with well over 75 mem- bers. The radio show broadcasts offer something for every- one, and if did not hear something that interested you, you could always apply for your own show. WRLC is the best kept secret of Livingston College which isn't such a secret anymore thanks to the efforts of the station's staff.

RU Inroads is in the business of helping their fellow stu- dent prepare themselves for life after college. Inroads of- fers a very comprehensive series of programs designed to educate others on topics like Job Search Skills, Applying to Graduate School and Leadership Training. They bring topic level executives to campus to have hands on small group discussions. Inroads also get their members involved in the local community by organizing a number of service activities. Ru Inroads prepare their members for positions of leadership in the community by developing their net- working and professional abilities. Their programs are al- ways open to everyone.

Latinos Unidos En Poder (LUEP) was founded in 1969 as Estudiantil Puetoriquena. LUEP changed its name to em- brace the entire Latino community as one family at Liv- ingston College. LUEP truly functions as a family were members genuinely respect, support and care about each other. Each member is actively involved and takes more them their share of responsibility. LUEP is dedicated to improving the present educational, economical, social and cultural condition of the Latino community at Livingston, Rutgers, locally and nationally. LUEP sponsors a very suc- cessful annual AIDS/Recruitment Dinner Dance to raise money to support both efforts. They also visit local schools to help alleviate some of the concerns about going to col- lege. LUEP members grow as individuals through the suc- cess of their organization.

Livingston College went years without a theater group until this year, and it came back in a big way. A first year student noticed one was missing and through his efforts, the creativity of over a 100 students was sparked and the Livingston The- ater Company was established. Working with no budget but the desire to bring the arts back to Livingston, the Company began planning for their first production. They did not hold back and try something simple. They went with a big show, the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The production was a huge success, selling out every night and delighting the audience of students, faculty and staff, and other community members. The opportunities available to stu- dents to perform and succeed was made possible by the ef- forts one student with a dream, Jason Goldstein.

The Livingston Commuter Program is in a class of its own. The effort put forth by the small staff of four is tremen- dous. The program's main goal is to create an atmosphere where commuter students feel welcome and can call home in between their classes or after a long commute to col- lege. The program maintains a small lounge with a kitchen which is always packed with students. The staff works very hard to make new students feel welcome while keeping up with the returning "lounge lizards." The staff plan a wide variety of programs and sponsors some of the most successful trips including Broadway Shows and Operas. They host a very popular monthly commuter luncheon. All students are welcome at the commuter "home away from home" lounge.

The Liberated Godspel Choir was formed the same year the college was established. So, the choir celebrated its thir- tieth anniversary this year too. The Liberated Godspel Choir started as a Livingston club and as its roots still planted on our campus. Their office is in Yorba Lounge, and they prac- tice there every Monday and Thursday night. The choir continues to be one of the most successful clubs at the uni- versity and they are nationally know and recognized for their success. The choir holds a number of on campus con- certs each year and travels on its traditional Spring Break Tour. They have one of the strongest alumni followings and the family and friends of the choir celebrate their accom- plishments at their year ending banquet. The choir lifts the hearts of everyone who hears them sing.

Academics
Your academics were the main reason you came to col- lege. Rutgers University offers an excellent education that is rank very high nationally. The reputation is out- standing and regardless of major, graduates should be very proud of their degree. Academics were not restricted to the classroom. You had numerous resources avail- able to you for help. Getting to class was sometimes more challenging that the class itself. You were happy when a classmate took a collective approach to learning and was willing to help you by sharing her notes or just repeating what the professor just said. You learned to work together on group projects, but there was almost always at least one group member that did not do her or his share of the work. It would have been perfect, if only you got back more than 25% when you sold your books back.

So, why did you come to Livingston? It was to get a degree. Which means, you had to go to class at least sometimes. During your first semester, you took classes early in the morning, 5 days a week. How- ever, you discovered quickly how to create a schedule that would give you at least Fridays off and no classes until after lunchtime. You took classes at all the campuses. Your academic experience was as one university, Since, you sat next to Cook, Douglas and Rutgers College students and the faculty is all the same. Still, it wasn't easy as you dealt with the stigma that Livingston students were second rate. You took great pride in the fact that you continued to get Deans' Listed and your GPA was high enough to get you into the School of Business or any other program. You worked hard and proved your- self to everyone, especially yourself.

f,r?§ GET TO CLASS
V
How did you get to class? If you were lucky, your classes were on Livingston campus and all you had to do was walk. However no matter how hard you tried, you had to take classes at the other New Brunswick campuses. You know what that meant... THE BUSES! How many times did you wait for a campus bus to take you to class and then arrived a half hour late? Be honest, how many times did you wait until 5 minutes before class to try a catch a bus? How many times did you drive and tried to get a parking spot? How many times did you just not go to class? Well, getting to class at Rutgers Univer- sity was a learning experience that only made you a stronger person and better balanced. Since often, you had nothing to hold on to while standing on a crowded bus. You really wished that everyone else used "Dial" soap.

STUDY FOR CLASS
They say you have to put in at least three hours per week of studying for each credit you are taking. So, if you took 15 credits a semester that would equal 45 hours of studying in addition to going to class. That was over 60 hours dedicated to academics per week. The average student, who went to class and studied sufficiently, would have spent 6720 hours pursuing academics in four years. How close did you come to those numbers? There was always an exam to study for or a paper to write, and lets not forget about Expos I & II. There were times when you studied with classmates and others when it was strictly a solo act. You found the time to get the work done. If you didn't, it properly took you a little more time to graduate. How- ever, the average is four and a half years anyway.

COMP
You could not go through college without using a computer. It is simply impossible to do today. Computers have become a very vital component to ones educational experience. They give you almost instant access to a world of information, not to mention the world wide web, chat rooms, instant messaging and a very cheap way to communicate with friends and family. Faculty and staff at the uni- versity communicate with students through email everyday. You had to set up your eden account. It took some of you a while to set up that account, but little did you know you would end up on it almost everyday. Checking your email became more important than check- ing your LPO. Computers began to control your day's activities. And, lets not even mention the waits to use a computer especially during finals.

Unless you were the best and brightest in every discipline of the academic experience, you needed some help along the way. Most of you struggled at least a bit with Expos, the analytical requirement of the college, or that really boring class required for your major. Aca- demic help was available. However, it was up to you to take advan- tage of it. The Learning Resource Center, Math Lab, Writing Lab, faculty, or classmates were just a few of the opportunities available to you for assistance. The Academic Information Center was an- other valuable tool for helping you pick the classes right for you. However even if you took advantage of all the assistance available to you, you didn't always get the grade that you hoped to receive. Dropping, withdrawing or taking a class over became an alternative that some of you had to pursue. In the end, you still made it!

You waited a long time to be called a senior again. Only to have your senior year fly by once again. You have a better understanding of who you are and what you want to be when you grow up. Your friends mean the world to you and you started to miss them well before gradua- tion. You started job searching or taking graduate school entrance exams during the fall semester. It wasn't fair that you had to do so many other things and you just couldn't sit back and enjoy your last year at Livingston. Senior week was a great time to have some last minute fun with your friends and to say good-bye. However, the thought of moving back home and finding a job sent chills down your spine. As this chapter of your life came to a close remember, Happiness is a journey, not a destination. You finished only one short portion of that journey.
