' ■ Academics page 122 Organizations page 302 A YEARBOOK documents a year in the life of the university and its people. The emphasis in this book is on students — their different lifestyles, the events and services that affect them, the ad- ministration and faculty that are here because the students are here, and the organizations that round out the growth of a student.

There are 1953 non-Mi.ssourians enroll- ed, 1679 from Iowa with 31 other states and 18 foreign countries also represented. Approximately 590 students are employed on work-study, ear- ning an approximate $500 each. There are about 90 campus organizations for student par- ticipation. And 612 of the student body sought on-campus notariza- tion of absentee ballots to vole in the November, 1972 election. These statistics attempt to describe an average NWMSU student. But statistics don ' t take into consideration individuals, all different. The following pages are designed with the individual in mind, with the hope that in featuring segments of student lifestyles, points of departure in the student ' s search for himself will put this search in the perspective of his relation to others. I The whole point in the search for identity is to create your life, not to just undergo it. The years spent in the process of learning can be the most productive in this respect. More individual self- concern and fulfillment as human beings can be a result. The pur- pose of the 1973 TOWER is to aid in the continuation of this search by informing or remin- ding the student of this year; to get the reader to think a little about fellow students, the powers that be, and maybe even a little about himself. •
