The center of educational and extra-curricular activity has moved from the ivy covered buildings on lower campus to the new Union and to OSH. A modern engineering hall is scheduled for completion at the time of spring graduation; further building is scheduled to meet the continuing demands for adequate housing, medical school facilities, and classrooms.But more important than these changes are those which have come about in affecting the college students' attitudes toward education and his outlook on life. The Sputnik incident has opened a broad new area of space supremacy and consequent educational stress on scientific developments. Such crises as those at Suez, Cyprus, and Cuba have made the seniors more aware of the necessity of building solid international relations in the years which lie ahead. And there were even a few seniors who realized that science was only a means to an end, and not that end in itself. These people understood the importance of the well read individual to the well being of their civilization.As illustrative of this changed attitude on the seniors' part, it is well to note that this year, for the second time in University history, the senior class is helping with the preparations and administration of the commencement exercises.Bill Beers, former ASUU treasurer, was the Senior Class President for 1959.Presiding over the senior class with Bill Beers were (left to right): Carolyn Jonas, vice president; Nolene Regnier, secretary; and Lynn McGhie, treasurer.72 |
