The Places We Go
The University of Rochester campus is set up much like that
of Ivy League universities of most of the east coast. Brick
buildings are often crawling with ivy. There are also the modern
science buildings off the beaten path from the main campus.
Students are everywhere. They are eating in dining areas,
studying in libraries, hanging out in Wilson Commons, and some
times generally wandering around campus.
This section is dedicated to the places on campus where
students are actively living their lives, studying, playing, reading,
sleeping, running, shouting, and working.

The focal point of the whole
university rises above the rest. Rush
Rhees library was often considered
the most stately place on campus.
Some last minute cramming in the
center of the “universe”.
Academic Quad 15
The Eastman Quadrangle
The Eastman Quadrangle was the
place for the annual convocation
ceremony. This year, students and
faculty lucked out, as the weather
was sunny and warm.
Friends meet in between classes for
lunch or just to catch up. The
Academic Quad was bustling when
classes were out.
Students peruse the convocation
ceremony schedule. The annual
ceremony was held on the Academic
Quad, where students gathered
before heading to the Wilson
Commons lawn for lunch.
Lounging on the quad was a popular
activity, whether it was alone or with
friends.
16 Places
Music, coffee, and fresh air are the
perfect combination for studying,
especially on a nice day.
A study group out on the quad is much
more refreshing and productive for this
group. On sunny days, classes met
outside to break the hum drum
indoors.
The quad is always the place to
catch up on Isat nights events. These
friends meet in passing and discover
they were at the same party the night
before, but just missed each other.

Quad Dorms
Hpeing housed residents,
along with a professor and
his family.
18 Places
No matter how cluttered a
room was, there was always
a little space to have visitors
come over to help
procrastinatek.
Tiernan,
Gilbert, Hoeing,
Lovejoy, Burton and
Crosby were the six
quad residential living
areas. Students from
all four years lived in
singles, doubles and
even triples. On sunny
days, students would
sit and study on the
lawns outside their
dorms, play frisbee or
just sit and chat with
friends. When the
weather was snowy,
students loved the fact
that they were so close
to Wilson Commons,
the post office in Todd
Union, Zornow, and
their classes.
The Quad Dorm area was
colorful when the leaves are
falling and students walked
through the brisk wind to
class.
Being a Resident Adviser in
the Quad had its perks, like
the pretty large single, and
choice of coed or single sex
halls.
Relaxing and watching a the

Quad Dorms 19
SBA dorms
were housing to
freshman as well as
upperclassmen,
transfer students and
RAs. Those who lived
in SBA had the benefit
of built in closets and
cabinets, as well as
being able to go get
breakfast at Danforth
in their slippers and
pajamas.

Rush Rhees
Rush Rhees library
served as a home away from
dorm room for many people
at the U of R. It had study
environments for many
types of students. The
former Periodical Reading
Room, now the Messenger
Room, was a great place for
quiet study without disap
pearing off of the face of the
earth. The Wells Brown
Room had the perfect
atmosphere for afternoon
naps. The were lots of places
to check your email on a
study break. And for those
who just needed to get away
from it all the stacks, A level
and B level allowed one to
truly be all alone.
Some people were able to study taking up just a tiny
amount of space; while others had to spread out over
the entire table before they could start their studying
process.
30 Places
The Messenger Room had couches
so you could kick your feet up and
relax while studying for that big
exam.
On sunny days in Rochester, Rush Rhees library seemed to move outside. Many
people used the welcoming steps of Rush Rhees as a place to study and relax.
Groups of people chatting on the steps was also a common sight on those warm
Fall days.
Sophom*ores Chris and Mike work
together on a project at the tables on
the ground floor of Rush Rhees. It
was a great place for group study.
Centrally located, the steps of Rush
Rhees provided a common meeting
ground for friends to get together
between classes.
Rush Rhees 31
Many of the computers had
individual database programs so
that students interested in a
particular field could search more
efficiently for information regarding
their topic.
This student prepares for class by
taking notes on a required reading.
The new tables placed on the ground
floor of Rush Rhees, where the card
catalogs used to be, were welcomed
warmly by the students.
Students utilized Voyager, the
libraries on-line card catalog and
database, in order to find informa
tion for research papers.

This student takes a break to smile for the
camera. Those who studied in the well
traveled areas of Rush Rhees welcomed
these minor interruptions.

By their final year, most seniors had
mastered the fine art of sleep
studying, by giving the appearance
of being hard at work while getting
some shut eye.
Email breaks were essential when
studying long hours in the library.
The computers located on the ground
floor of Rush Rhees were used plenty
of times for study breaks.

These two students are obviously
stressed from all the studying that they
have been doing for midterms.
Carlson
Beyond
Hutchison and Hylan,
lies the three story sci
ence library. Open until
2am, Carlson provides a
more quiet and isolated
envirnoment than Rush
Rhees or CLARC. Re
search and studying is
often a easier task in the
comfrotable atmosphere
of Carlson library.
Judging from the expressions of their
faces, these two students seem to be
enjoying their job at the circulation
desk.
A student utilizes the computers on the
first floor of Carlson in order to brush up

Carlson 35
Hutchison and
Hylan were perhaps
the buildings located
farthest from the center
of campus. Hutchison
was the center for all
scientific activity while
Hylan housed math
ematicians. Unfortu
nately, there were no
tunnels connecting the
Academic Quad or
dorms to Hutchison or
Hylan. Natural science
majors spent many
long hours of labora
tory work and lecture
time spent in these two
buildings.

Hutchison Hall and Hylan
Recitations met in both
Hylan and Hutchison. Some
classes had two or three
hour workshops each week,
also. Students liked
recitations because they
were less structured, but
their questions were still
answered.
Natural science majors were
aware of the wind tunnel
created by the entrance to
Hutchison and Hylan on
windy days.

CLARC
This woman grabbed some
coffee at the Coffee Cart and
sat down in CLARC to finish
reading an article before her
first class.
Students utilized the
Multimedia Center next to
CLARC to look at videos
required for class, scan
photos, work on advanced
graphics, and other
multimedia processes. This
student is watching a dance
video for her class.
38 Places
CLARC
(computer library
and resource center)
was a place where
students gathered to
study, use the
Macintosh and PC
computers, the
computer labs, the
group study tables,
and the other re
sources available.
CLARC was open for
twenty four hours on
the weekdays to
allow for students'
differing study
habits.
Group study areas were very
helpful to students who
liked to study and bounce
ideas off of their peers.
CLARC was not normally a
quiet study area, but
students who studied there
went for the atmosphere.
These friends study different
subjects, but spread their
study materials out over the
table in order to maximize
the work area to material
ratio.
These peers exchange notes
for class periods they
missed. Having a person to
study with helped students
grasp the material more
thouroughly.
The Coffee Cart was a busy
arena in front of CLARC in
the morning and for snacks
in the evening and at night.
Sold there were sodas,
bagels, muffins, donuts,
juice, and the all important
staple of copy.
CLARC 39
Douglass
Dining Center was
popular for those
who liked to eat a la
carte. Students had a
choice between the
grill, wraps, pizza,
calzones, pasta,
sandwiches from the
kosher deli, and soft
serve ice cream. It
was a great atmo
sphere where stu
dents could sit,
watch television, or
study.
This woman asks if there are
any plain cheese calzones
today and the worker replies
yes, would she like sauce on
the side.
40 Places
When getting pasta from
Douglass, one has to make
important decisions as to
whether or not to put
vegetables or meat in the
sauce, and what type of
sauce, also. A breadstick
was also supplied to the
hungry student.
Douglass Dining Center
Declining, block, or flex?
When the weather was nice
and the tables were not
covered by snow, students
took the chance to eat
outside of Douglass.
These guys gather every
week to catch up, grab some
food and chill for a while in
Douglass.
Douglass was a popular
studying place for those who
liked large open areas with
quick access to munchies.
These people are watching
the Simpsons and enjoying
whatever they chose for

Danforth
Danforth
expanded options
for students this
year. The salad
bar offered more
extensive salad
extras, Pan Geos
opened people’s
eyes to whole
new uses for
kidney beans and
rice, and Grille
Works offered
chicken and meat
grilled products.
The omelette bar
was a favorite
among students,
as was the ice
cream and
sundae bar.
Having food available
on both sides of
Danforth made the
lines move quickly so
students could get to
more important things
like eating, socializing
and studying.
42 Places
Students enjoyed the
omelette bar because
you could tell the cook
what omelette you
wanted, then could go
get drinks while it was
being made.
Soft serve on a cone
was among the
favorites of Danforth.

Angela discuss the

Danforth was also a
social gathering, often
being loud with the
televisions and music
in the background.
Grille Works cooked up
a burger or chicken
patty to your own
specification, adding all
or none of the toppings.
When a student did not like the
selection offered, the salad bar
was always a fall back.

The Towers,
Wilder and Anderson,
are each ten floors of a
mixture of all four
classes. The seventh
floor of each building is
all upperclassmen. The
Towers are home to
many special interest
floors such as Chi Phi,
MIF, CIF, Sigma Delta
Tau, and Health and
Home. The two build
ings have access to each
other through a tunnel.
This allows the residents
of Anderson easy access
to the game room and
practice rooms in
Wilder.

The post office was open from 10 am
to 5 pm so students could buy
stamps, mail packages, and pick up
packages. The package store, just
around the corner from the Chase
Manhattan Bank, also held packages
for students.

Todd Union
Todd Union may
be one of the most visited
spots on campus, besides
the dining halls of course.
It can be incredibly empty
to very crowded at times.
The building itself com
prises the post office, the
bank and a theater. Stu
dents go to the post office
with hopes of feeling
special by receiving a letter
or maybe even a package.
However some may leave
feeling disappointed
because they only received
junk mail or maybe noth
ing at all.
Intermural mail, intercampus mail,
or mail to the outside world?
Other than the post office and the
bank, Todd Union housed the
WRUR radio station, the theater
department and the music depart
ment.
Todd Union 47
Phase
Phase is located
over the foot bridge behind
SBA. Phase is the home of
buildings that contain
suites for communal living.
People enjoy living in
Phase because they can
have lofts, singles, or
doubles in the suites. Many
fraternities and sororities
also occupy the suites
becasue of lack of regular
houses on the Frat Quad.
Others enjoy living in
Phase because it seems like
they are living off campus
when they are really not,
and because of the proxim
ity to the Greek parties.
Many Greeks occupy the suites in
Phase.
Phase allows for groups of friends
to live together.
48 Places
A walk around Phase is always a
good way to get some fresh air.
The foot bridge is used many times
a day by Phase residents and
others.
Suite living is preferred by many
over individual dorm rooms.
The Phase buildings are located in
close proximity to the Hill Court
Parking Lot.

These students and residents on a

baseball game with the rest of the
residents on their floor and some
other friends.
The University of Rochester sign
on the bridge welcomed visitors,
but also reminded students when
they were getting off campus.
Gennese Valley Park, just a step off
campus, was a great place to go
running, walking, or watch the
various activities on the river.
The cemetery, which lies in a pocket

was beautiful in the winter, with
snow resting on the headstones.

Off Campus
Students never passed
up the chance to go off
campus. Whether it was
to go to Wegmans to buy
cereal, go to the Market
place Mall, or to the
Distillery and other bars,
students found a way to
get there. There was a
bus to the Marketplace
Mall and other various
locations in Henrietta.
Students also went to
Movies 10, sports events
downtown, and concerts
at Eastman.
Khyati Modi's seventh floor of Anderson,

Student Life
A main part of the campus at the University of Rochester is
the students.
Students are what make this campus tick.
Their interests shine through in the activities they are
involved in, whether it be dancing, singing, juggling,
organizing, rafting, or being present at most student events.
Spirit is an integral aspect to student life.
Without the
willingness of students to make their campus life thrive,
there would be no Viennese Ball, no Spirit Kickoff Weekend,
no Yellowjacket Days.
Students were also involved in the community.
The
Stonehurst Regatta brings the community and campus
together on the Genesse River.
Alumni weekend brings the
spirit of Rochester back onto campus.
Wilson Day is a way
for the students to get out into the community to
contribute to the common good.

The CD vendor, a familiar site to U of
R students made out well on D-Day.
Other vendors around campus that
day included Nancy's Fried Dough
and Haddad's Mobile Restaurant.
Novelties included candle art, tatoos,
photo keychains and psychics.
The ferris wheel was an easy-going
carnival ride for those who wanted to
partake in the rides, but didn't want

Dandelion Day 1999 was a welcome break to the year's stresses. Students relaxed on the Wilson
Commons lawn with their friends and their water bottles while enjoying the pirate ship theme. It was
quite a sight to see fumbling students running the Team Obstacle Challenge and trying to climb the
Spider Web Wall. And all I can ask is who's bright idea was it to bring Moon Bounce to D-Day?!
Psychics predicted the future and the seniors put off thinking about theirs by making candle art and
playing carnival games. For the first time ever, the D-Day concert was held the evening of D-Day and
open, free of cost, to all. Moxy Fruvous got the audience jumping with songs like "King of Spain". All
and all, D-Day 1999 was a great success.

Stonehurst Regatta
More than thirty Universities gathered in Genesee Valley Park as the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology
and the Greater Rochester Metro Chamber of Commerce hosted the Stonehurst Capitol Regatta on Sunday, October 10,1999. Races began at
9:00 am and ran until 3:00 p.m.
Community members, students, faculty and racers watched the festivities in GVP, where acapella groups performed, food was
served, and campus and community spirit cheered on the boats. There were clowns to entertain the little ones, a man who juggled while on
stilts, and everyone could partake in the catered food.
An essential part of the pre-race festivities included the annual banquet that inducted George and Vee Angle into the Rochester
Rowing Hall of Fame. The Angles were essential people who helped start UR crew in the 1980s.
At noon, a new addition to the racing were high school students from crew clubs from the Pittsford and Brighton school districts.
Even the UR and RIT alumni came out and rowed against each other before lunch.
The men's heavyweight eight won second overall in the collegiate division. The women's heavyweight eights finished sixth in the
collegiate division. The team and school were really excited because it had been such a long time since the team had won a medal in the
Stonehurst Regatta.

Record Breaking Spirit
The Campus Spirit Kick-Off broke some records, turning out over 3,000 people to watch the first
UR home football game. A packed Fauver Stadium held the largest home crowd in over six years!

several years. It provides a wonderful opportunity for new and old students alike to take pride in
their University and support the Yellowjackets at home.
A Danforth BBQ outside started the day, drawing large crowds to the hill beside Fauver. Many
continued watching the game from that angle. Face painting was available and the crowd was led

Viennese Ball
The Viennese Ball, presented by the University Choir and UR Chamber Orchestra, was held on Satur
day November 13, 1999 this year. Wilson Common was transformed into a romantic paradise by bal
loons, velvet ribbons, and satin sashes. Couples arrived at 9pm adorned for the occasion. Men in tux
edos and women in ball dresses crowded the dance floors and refreshment tables. The Viennese Ball
gave people the chance to show off their waltzing and to impress people with their other dancing abili
ties. This romantic evening lasted until midnight because at that time, like in most fairy tales, Wilson
Commons turned back in to a pumpkin.
Many couples spent a romantic evening together, watzing
the night away.
Setting up and decorating for the

new tradition - Wilson Day
USA. Not only did Univer

perform community service
all over the city of Roches
ter for a day; but U of R
alumni performed commu
nity service throughout the
United States.
Wilson Day was
started in 1988 by student
Theresa Gunther. It began
rather small but has grown
over the years so that U of R
are aiding over 50 Roches
ter organizations. Alum
nus worked in cities such as
Atlanta, Chicago, San Fran
cisco and Washington D.C.
Wilson Day service
not only aids the commu
nity, but is an integral part
of the freshman and U of R
experience. Involving stu
dents in the community is
fundamental to education.
Wilson Day service, also,
bonds students together
and leads to better educa
tional teamwork.

"What goes into making a yearbook?" many
people ask. Putting together a book that holds memo
ries of a year at college is a difficult task, especially
when it comes to deadlines, taking photos, dealing
with public relations, and having a cohesive staff.
Saturday afternoons, staff members met in Wilson
Commons 105 to crop photos, write captions, and
prepare pages for submission. Rachel Shaner, Business
Manager, and Kate Navarra, Editor-in-Chief, were in
the office every day checking phone messages, dealing
with the photography studio, talking to Jostens techni
cians and representatives, and laying out the plan and
themes for the book. No one was more attentive to the
needs of the staff and book than Rachel and Kate.
The staff would like to extend special thanks to
the following people: Eric Ludemann, Sandy Moses,
Debbie Gaudet, Kathy Webster, Rob Rouzer, Dennis
O'Donnell, Lynda Foringer, Ray MacConnell, and an
extremely special thanks to Dorris White.

The winter, fall and spring seasons for athletic teams were
successful only because of the dedication, time, and hard work
each team and team member put in to achieve their goals.
Coaches and other team members were constantly in your
face, challenging you to be a better player, a tougher player and
to be a team player.
The mindset of the athlete in order to perform successfully to
ward set goals is one of complete focus, intensity and effort.
The long workouts, strenuous practices and exhilarating games
all pay off when teams have successful seasons.

comfortable with. Greeks had a chance to bond during rush
weeks, Greek week, other planned activities around campus, and
on a daily basis.
Greek Week was a chance for each fraternity and sorority to
show their spirit, bond with each other, and have a great time.
Rush weeks, though hectic, were also a great time for already
existing brothers and sisters to meet new members of their
Greek family, and also meet people from all over campus.

The Class of 2000
As the seniors look to a new milenium, they look to put behind
their college years and cultivate a new beginning. But before
they leave the secure world of the U of R, the had to make the
best of what’s left. Seniors could be seen around campus doing
various activities such as working on their thesis papers,
polishing off their resumes, making sure they have enough
credits to graduate, and enjoying their social life with friends. A
night out at The Elmwood or chatting at the coffee house was a
way of making the best of the remaining time in college.

Closing
After four years in academia, some of us will go into the work
force, some of us will go on to higher learning, and some of us
will wander around until we find what we want out of life. We
will take what we have learned in college and apply it to the rest
of our lives. Friendships will continue, new friendships will form.
We learn to let go and travel forward.
The closing ceremonies in departments and graduation
signifies a new beginning for seniors. Looking back on the long
days of classes, huge amounts of reading, and term papers, one
can justify all the hard work with the huge accomplishment of
graduating.

“ I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and II took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Though your course may have changed,

To Michael Schyman, Love Mom and Dad
Float in the butterfly,
Sting like a (UR) bee.
Four years you gave your best in
The breast, back and free.
Captain of the swim team,
President of ASME.
Vice President of the sailing club,
The Dean’s List crowned all three.
Yet time was found to fall in love,
T.A., and have good friends.
And being there for family,
Our pride this poem sends.
