At Northwest some things took more imagination than others. Some events we never dreamed could happen — did happen. Funding was ap- proved for Northwest, so we became the first electronic campus in Missouri. Ber- lin and The Rainmakers were scheduled for the concerts and who would have ever dreamed the Good Sex Doctor, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, would appear in Maryville, now imagine that. Other events shook the imaginations of students and the nation. Drugs, especial- ly cocaine, became household words. The cocaine bust in Maryville and the deaths of Len Bias and Don Rogers caused us to realize drugs were a major problem, even in Maryville. a t Opening 3
