It was a roller coaster year. We had high hopes for the football team, but found a winner in the volleyball squad. We were scared with reports on the impact of Amendment 7 doubling tuition, but 700 newly-registered voters had their voices heard as Hancock II was defeated. We were disgusted with the media leaks during the OJ Simpson trial, but we faith- fully tuned in to get the latest information. During the year, we heard two bulletins regarding the White House as a Maryland man died after he crashed his plane into the residence and a Colorado man sprayed shots into the home on Pennsylvania Avenue. You never knew what was going to happen next, but one thing you could count on was it would come . . . When you least expect it Opening • 4

mmi Expect the unexpected We planned to start the school year with a new vice president of academic affairs. However, Rich- ard Whitman left Maryville in June and cited personal reasons for his resignation. Instead of another search, President Dean Hubbard said the duties would be shifted among the deans. The shift was on at Roberta Hall as the residents dodged construction workers as they moved back in the newly-renovated hall. Lamkin Gym, another renovation project, offi- cially became the Ryland Milner Complex at a ribbon cutting ceremony during Homecoming. Locally, Gov. Mel Carnahan made headlines as he voiced concern over Hancock IFs impact on the state economy while he was here to visit the campus and dedicate the new Highway 71 Bypass and Mozingo dam project.
