Extractions: In 1985, Representative William Mullins of Ludlow, then the Vice Chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee, concluded that UMass Amherst, as the flagship campus of the University system, lacked an indoor facility of sufficient size for major sports and other events. After studying the needs of the region and the campus, Representative Mullins believed that a multi-purpose sports and convocation center was essential to the Universitys growth. He enlisted the support of campus officials and legislative leaders and began building the momentum to fund the construction of this type of facility. Representative Mullins Died in 1986. Several of his colleagues in the legislature, as well as other supporters, carried on his commitment to this project. As a tribute to Representative Mullins dedication to higher education and his deep interest in athletics in general and the UMass sports program in particular, the facility was named in his memory.

The Spring Valley Lake project was built upon Kalin Ranch, a former cattle ranch that was being utilized for alfalfa farming and lay serene and quiet on both sides of the Mojave River. The whole area was at one time called Rancho Verde Co., which was purchased in 1877. Lake construction began in June 1969, and was officially filled and completed in February 1970. The lake is one mile long and reaches a depth of 22 feet. Portions of the Sage Hen Ranch were also included in the Spring Valley Lake project. Sage Hen Ranch (which now overlooks the 18 th green and 10 th fairway of the country club) was a guest ranch established in 1936 that boasted such guests as Mary Aster and Betty Davis, who both made films there. It is now part of Spring Valley Lake community.

Extractions: Blessed with indefatigable energy and a keen eye for publicity, President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg set about his responsibilities with vigor. President Trachtenberg was as deeply committed to the academic and teaching side of the University as he was to its physical and financial development. He strengthened the requirements for both teaching and research credentials for faculty members and oversaw the development, and implementation, in 1987, of the All-University Curriculum, the University's most admired and emulated cross-disciplinary learning program and the undergraduate program that has probably had the most decisive effect on the current learning environment at the University. This program, as the University's undergraduate bulletin puts it, provides shared learning experiences for students in baccalaureate programs across the University through "a core of common studies." "Since faculty from all schools and colleges of the University teach these courses," the catalog description goes on, "the curriculum takes full advantage of the diverse resources of the institution. In addition to providing students breadth of knowledge in their liberal education, the All-University Curriculum makes clear the relationships among disciplinary areas of knowledge through integrative, cross-disciplinary courses. These courses also emphasize the development of written and oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, values identification and independent decision making, social interaction, and responsibility for civic life."
