Of Note
The men's soccer team, coached by Sean Sullivan
and assistants Ashley Edgar and Paul David Seldis, ended their
season at 15-5, the best record in school history.
The Slugs also had a record nine shutouts. "We accomplished
all the goals we set for ourselves, says Sullivan. "The only
one missing was an invitation to the national tournament. We're
losing only three seniors, so we will be very strong in '97."
The graduating seniors are Matt Rodkey and cocaptains Steve Thomas
and Ryuji Ueda.
Bruce Bridgeman, professor of psychology
and psychobiology, delivered the Karl and Charlotte Buehler lecture

Systems in Humans).
