From general education requirements to the most advanced level of our stud- ies we find the patience to step back and focus on the most important aspects. For some, academics are the hardest aspects of the college experi- ence. For others, it isthe mostdifficult. As students now and after college, we at haveto takewhatwe have learned and apply it to our everyday lifestyles. Hopefully, what we have gained here stays first in our minds.

Running from one end to the other can be extremely frus- trating especially when there are hundreds of other stu- dents that are doing the same thing. Possibly the most frustrating thing of all is when your class is cross-listed in another department. In this case the student has to check at least two different spots to find one book. The book could be in both spots or in neither, pending the availability of the book. All in all, a successful book search will start a stu- dent's semester off on the right foot.

For example, a student may become disgruntled because of the hassle of waking up at seven o'clock, just after going to sleep a mere three hours earlier. What makes this scenario even tougher is when the class is at eight and the trek is from Towers to Trees for an aerobic class. This student may decide that because one class was cancelled perhaps it is not worth getting up for any other ones. On the other hand, cancelled classes are generally blessings in disguise.

This may result in a summer course, but the job experience is well worth the effort. Most of the intern- ships are done by students over the summer.

In 1992, Democrat William Jefferson Clinton, then Governor of Arkansas, was elected as our 42nd Dresicent. The Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, as most peo- e -now it, is definitely someting that everyone has an opinion on. I will attempt to impart the facts to you m _ie most unbiased way I can so that -'uture generations can re lect as we do on this ridiculous situation and understand w ien their grandparents begin, "Let me tell you the story of what the president was like back when I was in college..." The question now is: Where to begin? Most of this affair occurred during Clinton's second term as president, but its real beginnings are back in 1994. Paula Jones filed a lawsuit against the President, alleging that he sexually harassed her in a Little Roc, hotel room while he was still Governor of Arkansas. It wasn't until 1997 that things began to heat up. If it weren't for the U.S. Supreme Court's cecision not to delay Jones' suit until after Clinton was out of office, I wou d iave two more pages to fill in this yearbook On December 5, 1997 Monica Lewinsky, an intern at the White House. appeared on Jones witness list. She was subpoenaed on December 9 to produce gifts given to ier by Presicen. Clinton. In ea y 1998, Indepencent Council Kenneth Starr was called into investigate tie -ewinsky matter. Asked about Monica Lewinsky,?resident Clinton deniec having any relations with her 5Iree times: at a deposition for the Jones case on January 17, publicly on January 2, and in a news conference on January 26. On April 1, the sexual harassment case filec by Paula Jones was dismissed. A turning point in this matter was on July 28 when Monica agreed to give testimony against Clinton in return for immunity from prosecution. On July 29, Clinton agreed to give a video-taped deposition about his relationship with Lewinsky. It wasn't until August 17, eight months after ie denied having a relationship with Monica blicly acknom his 445 page the center of I )use intern, M I her internshi OO' C.)

October 8 began the last leg of the investigation. An impeachment investigation was approved by the House of Representatives. The Judiciary Committee supported the charges, so they went to the full House. Originally, there were four articles of impeachment. The House approved two of those four, Article I: Perjury, and Article III: Obstruction of Justice. This December 19, 1998 the House ruling officially impeached Clinton. Next was a Senate trial. Clinton was only the second President ever to be tried for impeachment. The other was Andrew Johnson, 131 years ago. It was decided Johnson not be removed from office by one vote after a two month trial. Clinton's trial began on January 7, 1999. It was the Senate's job to try the President on the articles of impeachment approved by the House of Representatives. The trial lasted roughly a month, ending on February 12, 1999. In order to remove the President from office, he must be convicted by a two-thirds majority vote of the Senators. This would require 67 votes. President William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America, was acquitted of two counts of impeachment on February 12, 1999. On the count of perjury, the vote was 55-45 against. In addition to the 45 Democrats, 10 Republicans joined in the vote of not guilty. Only five Republicans concurred with the Democrats on the second charge of obstruction of justice, making the vote 50-50, and thus ending the trial of the decade in a mere 45 minutes. Aren Syecter In one of the more surprising and widely controversial actions of the impeachment trial, Arlen Specter, Republican from Pennsylvania, voted to acquit the President on both counts. He is one of only five Senators who voted to acquit on both charges and his actions upset many of the voters in Pennsylvania. Senator Specter, however, did not want to vote "not guilty." Rather, he wanted to vote "not proven." Chief Justice Rehnquist ruled that it wasn't permitted by Senate law, so Specter voted "not guilty." In a press release on February 10, Sen. Specter had this to say: "That is my verdict: not proven. The President has dodged perjury by calculated evasion and poor interrogation. Obstruction fails by gaps in the proof." qWd re worn uiss ayy rc Evenpr Clinton a August 1 Senat jeffe, tual at ry 21,1 8 with as not it was nt's public s, August 17, 1998 iblic address, 17, 1998 ifact, it 1ove on. ou? qs Siam e close of the ry 12, 1999 'o the YO following the 12, 1999 won, mpshire, followruary 12, 1999 I wa Ame fol Let' ng 251 I itical and Sei Jesse "The 3oc ed Governor o' This election that a profess on -me a governor.

His flight hopes to provide research about aging in space. The flight which took off on October 29, 1998 had many experiments planned for the duration of the flight. In attempts to more fully understand protein structure, astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery conducted experiments for the University of Pittsburgh Department of Biological Sciences. These experiments were conducted by Pedro Duque and backed up by John Glenn. The zero gravity environment of space is ideal for growing the proteins, as it is widely agreed that they produce better X-ray r e f e c t i o n s Professor John Rosenberg is the head of the project. The crystalized proteins were delivered to his laboratory at Pitt for analysis. Mqvission Trage4 in Colorado April 20, 1999. The school day started like any other. But by 11:30, ir was o -vious that it would end in ragecy. Two Seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold entered the par ng lot.us: before noon and began shooting. Many of the students at Columbine High School, in Littleton, Colorado did not realize what was going on. Many thought the sound of gunfire must have been fireworks, a Dractical joke. People began to fee when they realized that it was no: a joke. Students were dying. The shooters came in through the ca-eteria and -argeted at iletes and minority stueens. Tiey worked their way upsairs to:he library where muca of the killing occured. Many were injured from bombs anc shrapnel, in addition to the gunfire o handguns and rifles. Survivors say that ttese two boys were members of a group called the'Trenclicoat Mafia.~ They are a grou- who wore ande leng,h Alack trenchcoats and sunglasses a t ie time; they claimed taey didn'ttIt m. However, many Trenchcoa- Mafia members claim that the shooters were only fringe members. On April 20, that ensemble was complimented by army fatigues and ski masks. The pair moved calmly through the building laughing as they went, shooting people cowering under desks. Bullets ricocheted off lockers and into students. Some students had to hide in classrooms for hours fearing for their lives while the killers roamed the halls. The students who did manage to leave the building were frisked by police on their way out. While at least 23 were hospitalized from injuries (10 in serious or critical condition), most of the killing took place upstairs, in the library. In all, there were 15 dead, including the two killers. Eleven boys, including a male teacher, and four girls had their lives needlessly snuffed out in the hate-filled suicide mission of two outcasts. Those bodies were unable to be removed, and had to stay in the school overnight, as police tried to diffuse the bombs which boobytrapped the school. Frantic parents were sent to a nearby elementary school to wait for their children to come out of the school. Some of tiem never came out. In an agonizing night, the families of the fifteen cead had to wait. In all, there were over thirty bombs found on the premises. They included )ipe bombs, car bombs, and various other incendiary devices. Some were timed. There were also numerous hand guns and shotguns. On April 22, two arge 35 lb bombs, mace of propane tanks were found in the dtchen of the school, suggesting that the killers also meant to blow the school up. The killers themselves were found dead, shot in the head, in the library, wired with explosives. In efforts to uncover motives police found a hate-filled website allegedly posted by Harris. On it were the lyrics to KMFDM's song "Son of a Gun," released on April 20th. Articles on how to build and use pipe bombs, and morbid pictures depicting death were also found there. The website also had ties to Adolf Hitler. The attack occured on the 110th anniversary of Hitler's birth. A quote on Harris's AOL pro COLORADO 7_ file read, "Kill em all!" School students were shocked that this could ever happen at their school. Only weeks away from graduation, the terrible event had a s iocking impact on everyone. While taie school remains closed, it's lawns have become a living memorial to those who died, and flags were at half mast in all of Colorado. The school wil remain closed the rest of the school year, with students finishing out their year at other schools. In this, the eighth school shooting in two years, one must wonder what -he motivation is behind these events. Only last year, 42 people died in school related shootings. Andrew Golden and Mitchell Johnson opened fire on classmates in Jonesboro, AK. Two months later, a 15-year-old killed two classmates and wounded 26 others in Springfield, OR. As students and families try to move on from this horrible tragedy, many schools are contemplating how to deal with the issue of school safety, so that this never happens again. The University of Pittsburgh would like to extend its deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to the students and families in Littleton, Colorado. - By Tracy Poro Closing 253 Littleton ,Strike are was a gay and )n campus.

CriSS in COSOVO Operation Allied Force NATO's attempt to create peace in the Balkans Civil unrest in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, has been a problem for much longer than any of us can remember. In fact, the war has been going on since the 1800's. While Kosovo is inhabitated by ethnic Albanians, the land is con sidered sacred to the Serbs. The independent province of Kosovo used to be part of Serbia. But Serbia lost the land to the Turks in a battle. According to an old Serbian Proverb, "Wherever a drop of Serbian blood has been shed. there lies Serbia." In 1878, Serbia regained the land, including Kosovo. For almost 100 years, the two provinces were a part of Yugoslavia. When Yugoslavia broke apart a few years ago, Serbia claimed succession and took com plete control of Kosovo. The land is occupied now by Albanians, most of whom are descendent of the Muslims from long ago. They want independence. Serbia, led by President Slobodan Milosevic, wants them out of the land. This is where the current crisis begins. The Muslims have formed their own army, the Kosovar Liberation Army (KLA). Unfortunately, they are no match for the Serbian paramilitaries. On March 24, 1999, NATO began a massive sus tained air strike against Serbia in an attempt to damage Serbia's ability to pursue war with Kosovars. One thing that they are hoping is that Milosevic will realize war is more expensive to pursue than peace. NATO objectives include striking military targets in Serbia, including their capital, Belgrade. The first half of this offensive was to attack mil itary facilities in Serbia. More recently, in the second phase, targets have been in Kosovo, in an attempt to deter the Serbian offensive. This struggle has lead to many casualties of war. Some victims unable to ~4- n -escape their captive villages were massacred in their attempts to flee. Many vil i' OLY,, (IT Y'' lages are being looted by the Serbian paramilitaries. Men are being killed and Operation Desert Fox massacred. Those who survive emigrate to nearby countries, most of which are already overflowing and hardly capable of accommodating the refugees. :<,In a m to s mlitar Milosevic maintains that the efforts on the part of NATO are doing more harm and security targets in Iraq, the than good, and many critics of the strike are saying that even if we keep up with United States attempted to severely our bombing, by the time we have some success, Milosevic will have succeeded r, ifnot ptely stopIraq's in driving most of the Albanians from Kosovo.

I've learned that YINZ means many people and pop is soda. It took me a long time to under stand what people were saying before I could even begin to %)O find anything. It didn't take me long to find something that I could putmy 7 heart into. That something that I put my everything into is the 1999 Panther Prints Yearbook. it's aBurgh thing is the theme of Ahe 199 Panthei Prin T w In 6 t I sao our experience, not only at the University of Pittsburgh but in Pittsburgh as a city. Going to school here helps each of us? become more cultured. Capturing the diverse cultures in photos and articles is our job here at Panther Prints. With hard work and determination we pushed to 110% to complete the University's only official yearbook. We sincerely hope you enjoy our work. It is with utmost pleasure that I present to you the 1999 Panther Prints Yearbook. Professionally, I have to thank groups of people as well as individuals for helping us finish this book and feel a sense of pride in doing it. The Publications Board made every effort to make sure that the yearbook continues after my time here. I appreciate their work in continuing one of the only historical documents at Pitt. Our advisors, Terry Lucas and Sandy Watt are outstanding in what they do. My staff and I always felt comfortable asking questions or seeking advice. We wouldn't know how to use a computer if it weren't for Sandy's help. There were so many times I was lost and looked for help. Without Terry we wouldn't have the computers to work on. THANK YOU, TERRY, for everything. Without the help of these two people I would be gray at 19. I have to thank Bruce Sullivan for his laughter. No matter what I asked, Bruce got it finished with a smile. It is 258 Closing The Pitt News made my job, as well as my staff's, more productive. To them I say thank you for making me and my staff's work just that much more enjoyable. Their help with photos and articles was outstanding. I hope their staff enjoys this volume and the many volumes to come. Personally, I need to thank my parents and my two sisters, Terry and Jackie. There were times at 2 A.M. that I needed a push and they were there for me. I am lucky to have their positive qualities. Along with them, I have to thank my extended family. There are so many of us, yet I know each of you individually. I am very fortunate to be brought into a family that has so many individual characteristics, yet works as a whole. The person who keeps my family running is my grandfather. He is the strongest man I know. I hope one day to emulate his strength. All the members of my family helped me to grow as a person. I would like to thank each of them individually, as well as a whole, for all the good times and their strength in the bad. I also have five best friends that I have to thank. Sometimes you just need to laugh. Jacki, Robyn, Melanie, Nancy, and Kristina helped me to keep my sanity through laughter. Everyone at 3602 has also helped me to laugh no matter what the time called for. I have to be the luckiest person on earth to have friends like these. My friends and family are the ones into a yearbook cannot be measured. The long hours, stressful times, and trying situations helped me as a person to grow. I can finish this year and be genuine in saying I'd do it all again. I dedicate my work on this year's book to the memory of my grandmother, Jenny Paddock. She was a woman of great spirit that lives inside me and my family everyday. Her spirit pushes me to take the extra step. Thank you, Grandma, for making me see what I can accomplish. This book is a collection of what we see in Pittsburgh. We sincerely hope that you enjoy our work. LEFT: My family and I enjoying the afternoon in Pittsburgh.

As a result of the bad weather; collections at weekend blood drives and community donor centers were much lower than anticipated. the loss of weekend dona~ 7 tions, coupled with the New Years Holiday (when collection sites were closed) has seriously depleted Central Blood Bank’s blood inventory.

The Stadium (Tfiefolfowing is an exceijat ancfyfiotograjyfifrom the 1926 _Q_w__[Year6ooE) In the summer of 1923 it was officially announced that the University was to build a stadium on the property bound- ‘ed by Terrace. Lothrop, and Aliquippa streets. This gigantic structure would house in superb fashion all of Pitt’s athletic organizations. Enthusiasm was spontaneous, and immediate steps were taken to make the project a reality.

The financially strapped hockey team had been facing financial problems for awhile because of the team’s inability to extract lease settlements with the agency that owns the Civic Arena and the private company that manages it. The team's bank- ruptcy attorney, Robert G. Sable, has negotiated a payment plan with the City of Pittsburgh, so the team hopes to get back on its feet soon. The big questions remain, though. Who will own the franchise after all the paperwork has been cleared away? Fortunately, Mario Lemieux and Roger Marino are expected to hand in competing financial reorganization plans to the US. Bankruptcy Court for the decision in the near future. » Qlffyfiotograyfts on 1.'f’li$}0a6€ are courtesy cf the CP1.'tts5u1'gFL ?engu.ins. ‘Burgh Life 49 ABOVE: Three Rivers Stadium, the place where the Pittsburgh Pirates play their home games.
