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.
