The start of our university was
in 1963, with the instution of
Marymont College, an all womens
catholic school, that had a two year
academic program. The classes
were taught by nuns and the pur-
pose was for women to advance
with the times.

In 1973, things took a turn
Marymont College emerged into the
College of Boca Raton . The Col-
lege of Boca Raton offered a new
program that focused on men and
women. The college also built new
buildings and transformed into a
four year program.

This four year college was
growing quickly, whether it was
through academics or student
growth. In 1991, the Lynn family
took an interest in our unique atmo-
sphere.

The name soon changed to Lynn
University, and adopted a more di-
verse campus, which welcomed stu-
dents from all over the world. The
campus added more buildings to
suit the needs for the academic pro-
grams.

Mr. Case has been the Dean of
Aeronautics for nearly two years.
He was the chairman of the first
major capital campaign at Lynn.

He was instrumental in the ex-
pansion of the aviation program.
"He moved quietly and effectively
in insuring that the many
contirbutions of his time, energy and
resources were well placed," Presi-
dent Donald Ross said.

Mr. Case was the chairman and
chief executive of the Alltel Corpo-
ration until 1991 when he retired.
"He was a pioneer and innovator
in the field of telecommunication,"
Dr. Ross said.

He is survived by his wife,
Beatrice Case; two brothers, Nelson
and Theordore Case; two sons,
Thomas and William Case; four
grandchildren, and three
greatgrandchildren.

His funeral was held at the Con-
gregational Church at Boca Raton,
September 4. Eulogies were deliv-
ered by Dr. Donald Ross and Bur-
ton D. Morgan.

"He was a leader in every sense
of the word," Dr. Ross said.

The Yearbook Staff is proud to
dedicate the 1999-2000 edition of
the Excalibur to this fine leader and
role model.

POSING WITH THE PRESIDENT. Freshman Paula A reflection from Dr. RCNs
Santos and Gisselle Gutierre? take the opportunity to get
their picture taken with Dr. Ross. The turning of the millennium marked the beginning

of a new era for Lynn University. Once a small, local college,
Lynn has become a University of great dimension and interna-
tional prestige, attracting students of high merit and a faculty of
esteem. We have a renewed sense of pride in our identity and
our distinctiveness. Here are just a few reasons why:

We believe in the indi vid ual potential of every Lynn
student. At Lynn, students are encouraged to engage them-
selves in everything they do---in their work, in campus activi-
ties, in their interests, in life-in the hope that they will learn as
much about themselves as they do about the disciplines they
study.

Dialogue thrives on Lynn University's campus . With a
student population representing 73 countries and 38 states, Lynn
is an extraordinarily diverse hub of conversation and interper-
sonal learning.

It is the norm , rather than the exception, for faculty and
staff to make extra opportunities for interaction with students
and to reach out. As a result, students often describe Lynn as a
home and their teachers as a family. These personal relation-
ships are the Lynn tradition, the campus culture and the
University ' s soul.

Lynn University has always thought the most useful
education comes from a core liberal arts background combined
with practical skills and experiences. Through labs, internships
and mentoring, we prepare our graduates with career-oriented,
marketable skills- intensive field training that sets our students
apart from other job candidates.

Finally, we know our students hold great potential, not
only for themselves, but for the community and for the world.
We strive to ground our students in two basic beliefs: they must
use their influence in positive ways and they have a personal
duty to give back.

As we reflect on Lynn University's past and imagine its
future, we all can feel fortunate to be part of such a special place
and true community.

Going into the gym some students could

their were others looking into their future

years.This freshmen class numbers made a

record high with 600 new students.

'Knowing you're goi ng to be away

from home and not knowing a single per-

son made me think whether I was going to

get along with everyone, but J realized that

Iwasn'talone, weareallon the ame boat,"

said freshman J n Williamson, Business

During Orientation Week there were

tons of activities going on for everyone to

get to know each other.The first night with

rain and all 'Austin Powers' was still able

to be shown. The night when all the return-

ing students got back their was a full house

to see 'The Have Nots,' which wa an im-

prove comedy show. The week ended with

Midnight Bowling at Don Carter's.

KOR was an integral part of the Ori -

Fun/Run Walk. The Fun
Run kicked off Alcohol
Awareness Week with a
positive well ness message.

Alcohol

Awareu_ess

Rather than focusing on keeping students
from not drinking, Alcohol Awareness Week fo-
cused on activities that promoted a healthy lifestyle
and responsible drinking. To kick off the week stu-
dents competed in a Fun Run SK that promoted
health and activity. "This was the first year of the
Fun Run and I think this was a great tradition to get
started. I think it is a great idea to couple wellness
with alcohol awareness week allowing the campus
to focus on what students are doing positively,"
said Virginia Hayman, member of Alcohol Aware-
ness Committee and Residence Director of
DeHoemle.

James English, a speaker sponsored by
Hanley Hazleton, spoke on Tuesday about his ex-
periences as a recovering substance abuser.

Wednesday the Florida Panthers brought
a traveling hockey shot taker to Freiburger lawn.
Students took shots on the large inflatable goal and
received a T-shirt if there shot hit. "It was really
great to see some activities that were fun for Alco-
hol Awareness Week, instead of just the typical
lectures," said Sophomore Communication major
Danielle Winn.

On Thursday evening Kaia Beck from the
Real World, Hawaii spoke to a full auditorium about
her life experiences.

Friday afternoon campus received a visit
from the Boca Raton Helicopter Rescue Team. They
landed on the baseball field during the lunch hour

All Kinds

or Excuses

The hurricane came in handy for
many excuse seeking students. College
campuses are the mecca of excuses . Students
use them for everyth ing: to get out of class, to
get out of trouble in the residence halls, to get
out of parking tickets. You name it they will
find an excuse for it.

"I use them for for everything. I had
to use one for one of my communication

classses so I could hand in a paper a day late.
It seems I always have to take a family

member somew here important the day a big
paper is due," said junior Abby Suazo.

Professors have heard several excuses
over the years. "I have heard them all: there

was a HUGE accident on 95, I got caught at
the bridge, my car broke down, I got a flat
tire. I had one student whose grandmother
died 6 times in one semester!" said Professor

Betty Rose Factor.
Some students get really creative and

extreme with there excuses, no point in just
making up little white lies.

"One time I told a professor that my
house burned down and I didn't go to class for

two weeks," said sen ior Jean Dubuisson.
However like the Boy Who Cried

Wolf sometimes making up excuses can
backfire. When you use too many excuses,
you lose credibility when something serious

TAKE ME OUT TO THE
BALLGAME. Judy Siegel,
Manuela Gravia, and Paul
Muir spend the afternoon at
a Marlins game. South
Florida had several teams to
support: the Heat, th e Dol-
phins, and the Marlins.

The time is early Friday morning
when the sun was slowly creeping through
the clouds. The streets of Boca Raton were
starting to get into an uproar. The day had
passed with anticipation of what will come
for the night.

Plans were being made as the time
turned to 5 p.m. The places to go are be-
ing discussed by students and workers.

Our choices ranged from billard
bars to Karaoke and Open Mic bars. Well
maybe tonight the scene is at a dance club.
The people of South Florida have a choice
to stay in Boca Raton or to adventure to
Clematis Street, Ft. Lauderdale, or make
the journey to the hot spots in South Beach,
Miami .

This Friday night let's stay in and
go to Miznar Park, walk the Spanish tiled
sidewalks and catch a movie at the AMC.
No let's go to Beach Place for Happy Hour
then go out for some Midnight Bowling at
Don Carter's.

Or wait we could always go for a
late dinner at Houstons, Cheescake Fac-
tory, Fridays, Baja Cafe or Mezzanote's.

Keeping

House

Residence Life has handled the
increasing number of students on cam-
pus by hiring more staff members to live
in the Hall's. R.A.s are selected to over-
see a minimum of 75 students each, with
that number expected to increase in fu-
ture years.

Being an R.A. came with a lot
of responsibility. R.A.s created and pre-
sented approximately 225 programs a
year for the residence hall students. The
programs come under four categories:
Educational, Social, Faculty Fellow
(programs designed to enhance the re-
1ation ship between the residents and
faculty and staff) and Tie in, (programs
designed to support other organizations
and departments on campus). R.A.' s
were also on duty 2 - 3 nights a week.

Besides hard work there were
also several perks that came with the
job: free room & board, a lot of fun,
meet new people, help new students
adapt to campus, learn to be a team
player, improve and expand communi-
cation and listening skills, define ones
leadership skills and learning how to
organize your time.

SNACK BREAK. Imple-

in and around campus.

Student

Activities

Our campus is known for a wide vari-
ety of degrees and course. In addition to this
are the activities that are offered to students
through the Office of Student Activities. All
work and no play is the recipe for a short and
stressful life.

To break up the monotony of everyday
classes there is a wonderful escape located in the
heart of the university. As you climb the stairs
and head towards paradise you can feel the stress
and anxiety trickle down to the depths of which
you came. Welcome to the second floor of the
Lynn Student Center aka Student Activities.

The pure air from the patio is laced with
the smell of fresh baking pizza. Your concen-
tration is broken by the cracking sound of the
billiard balls or the swift kicking sound coming
from a scored goal at the Foose Ball table.

The Student Center provided students
with a great place to hang out with friends, take
a break from classm get a snack or just relax in
front of the TV. It was also a place where many
student leaders gathered to plan for their upcom-
ing events and meetings .

In short, like Snapple, the Office of
Student Activities is made from the Best stuff
on Earth.

This past hallowen students took a
frightful trip to Orlando to celebrate the Holi-

Every year universal closes part of its
park to set up huge haunted mazes all through-
out the park. The mazes take on different themes
from scary movies like Psycho and The Mummy.
Visitors walked through the mazes and got suprise
attacks from ghosts and goblins, some of them
even carrying chain saws!

Students spent the first part of their day
in Island of Adventures at the newest theme park
in Orlando. There were exciting new roller
coasters following the theme of the Incredible
Hulk and Dueling Dragons. Also in the park
were theme areas centered around Dr. suess,
Cartoon Land, and Jurassic Park.

"Universal Studios was an unique ex-
perience for me, because I missed the bus. Luck-
ily I caught the group in time. It was fun, some
of the 1ides were really interesting. I think we
all had a good time eating and shopping at vari -
ous places in City Walk," said senior Alex Flipse.

Halloween Fright Night provided stu-
dent with a fun and interesting way to celebrate
the most frightful night of the year.

"I really enjoyed the rides at the Islands
of Adventure. The group that went was very
di verse, yet entertaining," said sophomore
Megan Bubb.

Black History Month.

The Black Student Union took plan-
ning into their own hands when they planned
February ' s Black History Month. The month
was filled with both educational and social
events for their group and all of campus to
enjoy.

To kick off the month a motivational
speaker, Becky Waldron came to share an im-
portant message with student leaders : that it is
never too late to adjust your attitude and reach
your goals .

Speaker Bill Nix spoke to students
about the contributions that African Amerians
have made thoughout history that are often
overlooked.

The 2nd Annual Talent Jam was also
held during this month with a wide variety of
performances, from poetry readers to xylo-
phone players.

A multicultural dinner was also held
in an opportunity for students to share the food
and festivities that come from their cultures.

The month ended with community ser-
vice that took place on the beaches of Boca.
The group did a beach clean-up to give some
of their time back to the community.

Because of their programming efforts
the Black Student Union was recognized as
Student Organization of the Month for the
month of February by the Office of Student
Activities.

Welcome

On February 22, 2000 the festivities
of Homecoming began. Homecoming for the
year 2000 was revised and traditions were set
for the first time. The goal for Homecoming
was to get active participants and to set new
traditions. From the start of the Homecoming
until the end each team put their all into the
events and showed extreme school spirit.

The kick off of Homecoming was with
window painting, where each team decorated
a certain section of a window to show both
school and team spirit. Wednesday each team
member had to wear something that showed
the school colors or school emblem to a sport-
ing event on campus. Friday team s gathered
together to go head on head with a relay race,
involving swedish fish, three legged races, and
flaoting across the lake. The winner of the re-
lay races was SGA. In the evening each team
member went to the Video Dance Party dressed
in their Hawaiian clothing.

If all of these exciting events weren't
enough the teams woke up early on Saturday
morning to decorate a golf cart to parade around
campus. There destination was to greet the
Alumni at the BBQ. The winner of this years
Homecoming was Sigma who was awarded
$500, followed in second place by SGA who
won $200, while third palce went to Best Bud-
dies.

Sponsored by the International and
Cultural Development Office, International
Week provided the 26 % of our students who
are international the chance to share a little bit
about their home country with students, fac-
ulty, and staff.

Lunchtime entertainment brought en-
tertainers from around the world. Monday stu-
dents enjoyed Cuban Music from Norberto and
Marisela. On Tuesday Flamenco Larosa en-
tertained our students with flamenco dancing
and castinets. Thursday ate to the sounds of
Avalon who provided Irish Folk Music. "It was
so exciting to hear the drummers from Japan.
The performers looked like they were having
so much fun, at one point I almost jumped up
on stage with them," said senior Danielle
Hanoud .

The Sentate Activities Board also pro-
grammed for Intern ational Week by bringing
Latino stand-up comedian Mike Robles from
GALA vision. " I used to watch him all of the
time when I was younger, I was so excited to
see him in person," said freshman Ana Segura.

The Board also sponsored the Kenyan
Acrobats who dazzled students with their flex-
ible bodies and fire eating talents. "The way
these men were able to contort their bodies
was amazing, although it was hard to stamch
during dinner," said junior communications
major Mark Sullivan.

Spring Weekend started on Friday af-
ter noon when over 60 students competed in
the annual Volleyball Tournam e nt on
Frieburger Lawn. The tournament lasted all
afternoon and ended just in time for the tradi-
tional Beer Garden. The Beer Garden this year
had a barbecue for those students who were of
age to drink. This event gave students the
chance to relax after a long day of school and
a tough Volleyball tournament. Some also
enjoyed a nice swim in the nearest lake.

As the evening started to unfold the
students got to take another chance at the game
of life, by attending Casino Night, which was
sponsored by the RHA . This event started at
8pm and lasted until all the prizes were given
out. Students had a chance to win gift certifi-
cates, DVD player, cordless phone, Play Sta-
tion , and many other fabulous gifts.

It was late Saturday morning when
teams of six got together in front of the Soft-
ball fields to participate in the Annual RA Chal-
lenge. The challenge was a good way to test
how well teams can work together under pres-
sure, and get dirty at the same time. Events
ranged from egg toss, twelve legged race, and
spirit obstacle course.

It proved to be a successful Spring
Fling Weekend and students can't wait to see
what is to come for nex t year.

The Knigt1ts- of the Round Table
the legacy live~ on...

The Knights of the Round Table is an organization that begun in 1983. This core

group of individuals were selected on their academic standings and leadership skills.

They lived by their mission statement, which was to serve the Lynn Unversity campus

just like the mystical charcater King Arthur

had done.

Since 1983, KORhas abided by that

same mission but revised it over the years.

By the year 2000 KOR had changed tre-

mendously. The major addition to the group

was expanding new membership to seven

and providing the organization with a grand

total of twelve members. These additional

members brought new and inventive ideas

to the group. Their mission statement was

revised to fit with the times and the needs of

LynnUniversity' s campus.

KOR expanded horizons by aiding the

school in many functions that are held on

campus and as well as the SACS re present

Student Government

SGA worked throughout the year

to improve campus- life

The Student Government Association met every other week to discuss issues that

students around campus wanted to see addressed . Some of the issues the Student

Government tackled this year were adding parking spots, sending a monthly mailer to

off campus students, getting better access

to AOL, aiding transportation to Harid

from Lynn, putting better lighting in the

North Parking lot, putting stop signs in

the north parking lot, getting pencil sharp-

eners into each classroom, and putting up

volleyball nets on the lawn of Frieburger.

Those were just some of the problems that

were solved over the past year.

"SGA is a way to bring bright new

fresh ideas to the table," said Freshman

Jon Williamson.

The Best Buddies and the Hospitality Club have both worked really hard to com-

Best Buddies was for the students who wanted to get involved in community service

type activities and the Hospitality Club was

for those students who wanted to learn more

about hotels and resturants. Students were

able to visit local hotels and restaurants to

view first hand what it is like to work in the

industry.

Best Buddies has been around for the

past five years and currently have ten com-

Faith was the purpose for the religous groups on campus. Hillel is an organization

for those who are of the Jewish faith and Newman is for those that are of the Christian

faith. Both of these groups have been on campus for several years and have stayed

strong and active. The students involved

in these organizations believe strongly in

their roots and in the spiritual world.

Hillel is a good example of a group

with a lot of members that come together

to sponsor events and hold functions that

celebrate their religion. The group held

many dinners and pai1ies that celebrated

their holidays. These dinners gave the

students a chance to spend time with each

other on these religious occasions instead

of spending them alone.

Besides planning and participating in

their own events, Hillel has made sure to

become involved in many other activi- orga nized man y so-

The Black Student Union had a busy and productive year. Lead by President

Nytricha Smith, the Black Student Union decided to work on two things: a chance for

students to be social together and educational programming. Black Student Union

planned such events as Roller Skating

Night, their Annual Spring Semster Tal-

the year with a Poolside Party. Several

members of the Black Student Union also

went to Florida International University
