JOSEPH R. MARESCO The publication of the 1986 edition of the Carontawan freezes in history a part of all the lives associated with Mansfield University. It will enable all of us at some point in the future to look back and remember where we as individuals, as a university, as a nation or as a world family, were at this point in time. For our nation, perhaps the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty will be the significant memory or perhaps it will be the somber recollection of the tragic circumstances surrounding the loss of the Challenger crew. As a world family, we may recall the events associated with the change of governments in the Phillipines, the continuing war be- tween lran and Iraq, the great famine in Africa or the chaotic fall in world oil prices. For Mansfield University, the memories might be that we finally decided what would happen to North Hall, recollections of the great Pinecrest blackout , the students' decision to construct a pedestrian mall where there once was a parking lot or that the Flashlight went on holiday. 9 As individuals, you might recall that this was a new beginning for you, the time you began your MU career, ia time filled with new friends, new challenges, new ideas and new accomplishments. Or perhaps, for you it was your final time at Mansfield, a time to remember old friends, great experiences, the opportunities that opened for you or maybe the personal values you developed. l'm confident that the 1986 Carontawan will hold many memories for all of us. lt will help me remember the students and staff that touched my life and, hopefully, it will help some of you remember some influence that l've had on yours.

GEORGE H. MULLEN The year 1985-86 was one in which Mansfield moved strongly ahead into the future. We responded to the challenge of high tech in a number of ways. Most significantly we obtained a new mainframe computer, an IBM Model 4361 with twelve megabytes of mem- ory. The new machine supports two different systems of software - one for academics and the other for administrative purposes. With it we support over forty interactive terminals. In addition to the mainframe we increasedthe number of micro-computers available for student use from thirty to forty-two. We be- lieve that Mansfield students have a much easier time obtaining actual computer experience than do students at most universities. Micros are also being used by most secretaries on the campus, easing the burden on these crucial support personnel. We have in- creased the number of computers available for academic departments, and obtained the important statistical analysis program SASS. fl am sure that this equipment and software will seem quaint and antiquated when graduating seniors of the 1986 class are reviewing their yearbook twenty years from now, but believe me, for today Mansfield University is state of the art with regards to computers. Another sign of the dynamism of Mansfield this past year was the number of grants awarded to our faculty. Professors George in Chemistry, Linck in Home Ecomonics, Stich in Special Education, Dodson in Geography, Sanders in English and Murray in Psychology and the Rural Services Institute all were recipients during the last twelve months. In addition we received significant grants for putting the card catalogue in the library onto a laser disk system and for an important project in telecomunnications and tele-learning. There are a host of very important programs on which faculty and staff have put in enormous amounts of work, and which are scheduled for completion during the coming years. Perhaps the most important of these that will affect all incoming students to Mansfield beginning the summer session of this year is the new General Education program. The new program provides an assurance of real quality in the liberal arts areas, while at the same time expanding the choice of students into what will be called General Education Electives. Other features of the program are an all university requirement in the fine arts area and a vevamped junior year literature based composition course. Important as all the above are, however, what lies at the heart of an academic institution, and what I am the proudest of is the hard work in the all the academic areas of Mansfield's students. College is a time to learn, to grow, to prepare for a rewarding career and a significant life. We are very happy at Mansfield to have played the part we did in the lives of the students -of the class of 1986. There's an exciting world out there waiting for our students after graduation, and I have every confidence that they will measure up to the challenges they will face. I' I An yearbook is a place for nostalgia, I have been speaking of this year, but the last four have been memorable ones for the institution, and certainly for myself, well as for the class of '86. In 1983 the institution received a new president, Rod Kelchner, and I was fortunate to be appointed' ,li sa ,keyfrole in his leadership team. Time holds still for no one. Accepting challenges is a key aspect of life, and I want to wish'thei ' l61'fl.lI'lB,f0 each and every one of our graduating seniors. Ladies and gentlemen, you have received a fine education. Now w get: to use it. ,-.a gi, gb, A f ,il A 8fProvostfV.P. Of Of Academic Affairs 'I . . .Q x-xarzw: . YI - -1 ,-1.4 5 ' ' ':- 'ti 1'-'sw ' ,.

Some of the more notable projects were the painting and new curtains for Straughng painting of several classroom buildingsg renovations and improvements of the physical facilities for Admissions and the Alumni Associationg renovation of the lower tennis courtsg demolition of Oak and Hickoryg roof repairs on several classroom buildings and Manserg various landscaping projects throughout the campusg and, the selection of an architect for the feasibility study of the future of North Hall. Plans are well underway for continuing the beautifacation and renovation of the campus for the coming fiscal year. Most importantly, this has been a year of fruitful and positive progress in the continuing effort of rebuilding Mansfield University. lt has been both a privilege and an honor to be part of the Mansfield University community in the endeavers. The coming years will present unique problems in balancing University needs and available resources. If the University community continues to work together, as it has over the past few years, I have every confidence in our collective ability to continue the revitalization of Mansfield University. . - ix. , V -- -qsyf. . -s '-pffj .
