Hometown: New York City<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cRush Rhees coffee hour, the insane fresh apple vending machine in the basement of the Hill, the end of curfews and coed hours, Winter Weekend with Duke Ellington, picketing Dow Chemical Company in front of Strong, and Robert Kennedy coming to Rochester.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: History<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Stamford, Connecticut<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cFreshman orientation, the strike in December of senior year, the Preachers band, lifelong friends, my 1960 Triumph TR-3, the Bungalow, late-night poker games, the best music ever from \u201964 to \u201968, Genny Cream Ale.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Nursing<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Maine, New York<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBecoming friends with a few RNs also pursuing their BS in nursing. Working as an RN weekends on campus at the Student Health Center and one to two, half shifts per week\/weekends at the Brightonian Nursing Home on Elmwood Avenue kept me busy! Finally realized my dream of getting my BS degree, enabling me to become a public health nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Political science<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Shelby, Michigan<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSunday afternoon study break concerts at Todd given by Eastman students. Taking Hindi with only two other students. Dr. [Richard] Fenno and his courses about how Congress works. The silence that fell on Rochester Philharmonic Hall on April 4, 1968, when it was announced that Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: History<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Bennington, Vermont<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBringing only skirts to campus freshman year and the change in fashion expectations for women to wear pants . . . what a relief. The excitement of moving to the Towers after coming home from a semester at the University of Warwick! It was coed! There were suites!<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I fondly remember the pride of giving tours to prospective students as a member of D\u2019Lions.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Business<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Flemington, New Jersey<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe visual impressiveness of the Eastman Quadrangle when I first arrived on campus. The splendor of the Dutch elm trees and the stately buildings wowed a young freshman.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Biology<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Kingsport, Tennessee<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cStrong Auditorium and the smell of the greasepaint, learning new music a week before a show opened, exhausting late-night rehearsals with a chem exam in the morning, and the fabulous theater people. How to Succeed in Business had to be my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Optics<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Albany, California<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMany memories involve music at the River Campus and at Eastman. I was concertmaster (first clarinet) of the symphonic band at the River Campus for three years. One of my favorite memories is of hearing the Eastman Wind Ensemble perform at the Eastman Theatre twice a year.\u201d<\/p>\n (Photo: Shannon Taggart for Rochester Review)<\/p><\/div>\n Major: Biology<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Severna Park, Maryland<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI saw Bobby Kennedy when he was campaigning on campus. When the great northeast blackout struck, I was in a music practice room in the tunnel between the women\u2019s dorm and the women\u2019s gym. But, never fear\u2014the U of R was so well organized that somebody showed up quickly with a flashlight to lead me out.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Mathematics<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Rockville, Maryland<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI spent years working on the tech crew for the plays in Strong Auditorium and was the only one on it who also acted. The summer after I graduated, I did construction, technical crew, and sound for the first year of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Summer Theater.\u201d After graduation, Rabkin was drafted into the US Army and served in Vietnam as an infantry sergeant with the First Cavalry Division. He earned the Combat Infantryman\u2019s Badge and an Air Medal.<\/p>\n (Photo: Shannon Taggart for Rochester Review)<\/p><\/div>\n Major: English<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Venice, Florida<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI have many great memories of my time at Rochester. I consider those four years to have given me the basis for so much of my life. In the memory category, my time as an athlete at the University made me part of a group of fellow students who sacrificed lots of time and energy in pursuit of the sports we loved. I was never happier at Rochester than when I was involved in sports.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I remember Rochester, I remember the fun I had and the people I shared it with. I walked across the frozen river to go to the bars on Genesee Street; I went to a Beer Blast in the Todd Union on Saturday night, then attended Catholic Mass in the same spot on Sunday morning; I used to sit at a table in Todd listening to the Beatles in the afternoon; I got my mail in the post office box at the old Todd and still remember my box number, 5432; my grandmother used to mail me chocolate chip cookies and an occasional five bucks to keep me going.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I think of the U of R, I see images of my past. Moving into Gilbert Hall, room 205 as a frosh. I can see all the cars on the lawn across the street, and all the kids who seemed so much more prepared than I was; I see pink sheets, created because my first wash made all my white clothes pink; the Quad in winter can be beautiful and very cold; the Palestra for a basketball game during the week could serve as a great study break; the main room at Rush Rhees where I went to pretend to study when I was actually just looking for a date.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Chemical engineering<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Elmira, New York<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMany of my best memories from Rochester revolve around the radio station WRUR, where I served as a control room engineer, technician, treasurer, and station manager.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: Biology<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Glen Ellyn, Illinois<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI remember all the fun places we went to for socializing: beer blasts at the MDC, hanging out in the Steinkeller in Todd Union, hiking with friends over to Izzo\u2019s or \u2018The Bung\u2019\u2014even if it was freezing cold outside: We enjoyed these get-togethers on and off campus\u2014wonderful memories of good times with old friends. I also enjoyed working in the biology labs of Dr. Raven and Dr. Muchmore one summer. What a great opportunity to get to know the faculty and grad students in their research environment. In order to stay in Rochester over the summer, I and five classmates rented a house near campus and enjoyed this time together. I have fond memories of sharing a Tower suite during senior year. My suitemates and I shared food, music, clothes, etc. There was never a dull moment in that suite. We are all still friends.\u201d<\/p>\n Major: English<\/em><\/p>\n Hometown: Glencoe, Illinois<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPlaying bridge in Todd Union, conversations around the dining tables of the Towers, courses taught by Russell Peck, and fraternity parties. My worst memory is Calculus 161, which is still my \u2018no-pants\u2019 nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\nGuy Bailey<\/h3>\n
