DESPITE THE DARKNESS, lights shine brightly on the friends wall of the Joyce and Harvey White International Plaza. The wall displayed names of individuals who donated money to the project and the five clocks displayed the time of five cities in different time zones.

The 54 international flags were raised according to U.N. protocol, with the help of students and faculty from Northwest.

e were not surprised to see everyone reacting differently to the events occurring around us. Most of the J.W.JONES union was closed due to remodeling, and while residents in Hudson, Roberta and Perrin halls found accessing campus dining establishments inconvenient, those living in the high rises could finally eat without having to walk across campus. The addition of 1,123 freshman bumped school enrollment up to 6,294 and increased the RATIO OF FEMALES TO MALES, CaUSing a challenge for residential life coordinators when assigning residence hall rooms. Hudson and Dieterich halls merged from only housing one sex into coed halls. The residence hall changes sparked extra complaints about parking. One hundred spaces in the commuter lot behind the Valk Agricultural and Professional Science building were converted from commuter spaces to resident spaces, but later. Director of Campus Safety Clarence Green agreed to return 50 of the spaces b ack to commuters. A $250,000 donation from a Nashville couple helped transform blueprints for an international plaza into a reality. The Joyce and Harvey White ' ronlinwH on ftagp 004
