Change was not limited to the seasons . The dynamic atmosphere of the university created many external changes; faces, names, and classes. Yet, individuals were also faced with internal changes of attitudes, values, and - career goals. Change was not always a welcome relief. Individuals rooted to secure routine, afraid to risk themselves for changes within their lives, baked at the thought of relocation, decisions, and the general unsettledness of colleg e life. The university was an ideal place for the exploration and discovery of new ideas, leading to a fresh perspective on life. self-exploration was often a painful and frustrating process, yet the basis for individual growth, development, and increased awareness into possibilities for enrichment. students approached a new decade of changing values and issues directly affecting ther lives. Idealism was tempered with realism; practical careers were often selected in place of personal preferences. The apathy of past years was replaced by anew community oriented activism. Students demonstrated together for and against their country, community, and campus with an emphasis on changing the system, instead of destroying if. Commitment was no longer taboo as individuals placed Importance on scholastic achievement, campus involvement, and career goals. Change implied movement and transition to a new phase of action and awareness. Transitions into new majors, living situations, and relationshios offen seemed painful, and initially more difficult than remaining in a static situation. Frustration and set backs were common occurances for many students, yet overcoming these roadblocks gave individuals the inner satisfaction of achievement and accomplishment. Growth was gained as much from failure, Gs SUCCESS. self-knowledge was a process accelerated and inhibited by the university environment. Accepting and understanding the diverse people, ideas, and opportunities appeared overwhelming. Yet, the integration of the individual into these new and exciting experiences was the essence of MSU; a community of students, changing, growing, and working together towards the realization of goals, inner strengths, and possibilities for the future.
