M- ing Ahead ., Bnltdozers andfracton journey th otigl) campui. From the gravelittfiont of Wilson to the replaced sidewalk-leading fro)ii Keezell Hall to the Music Building, the Bluestone ar Usaw a number of chaises. For returning students last fall, the campus was a little bit different from the last time they were here. The changes, from the new grill at Dukes to the opening of the CISAT building, awaited their arrival. The new Integrated Science and Technol- ogy building replaced the modular build- ing where CISAT majors attended classes until this year. The newly constructed building appeared majestic. The inte- rior was just as impressive as the ex- terior. It ' s a lot more spacious, and one of the best things about it is the public computer lab because last year the modular building didn ' t have one for general public use, said junior Alina Martin. Academic changes also occurred last year. Freshmen began the new cluster program for general edu- cation. This program replaced the liberal studies program from pre- vious years. The administration views the new general education pro- gram as a more efficient, more effec- tive way of preparing students for the outside world, said sophomore Lori Gunn. In addition to some of the academic changes on campus, other differences equally affected returning students. The computer help desk moved from Miller Hall to the Frye Build- ing. More changes were considered for the future, including a parking deck. The addition of a parking deck, for many, would alleviate what continues to be one of students ' biggest com- plaints. Putting a parking garage next to Newman Lake will definitely hinder the area ' s serene atmosphere, said junior Ed Render. FitzPacrick Changes on Campus 23

Natural W In time of silver rain The earth Puts forth new Ufe again, Green grasses grow And flowers hft their heads, And all over the plain The wonder spreads Of life. Of life, Of life! In time of silver rain The butterflies Lift silken wings To catch a rainbow cry. And trees put forth New leaves to sing In joy beneath the sky As down the roadway Passing boys and girls Go singing, too. In time of silver rain When spring And life Are new. 24 Student Life Molewski
