Chris Ue and Trevor Hayes we embraced those features that made us unique. Although the celebration was for the past, we continued to look toward the future. Hudson and Perrin halls fell as construction workers began Phase III of the residential life improvements. The fall brought one of the largest freshman classes to campus, and Douglas - a was opened to accommodate them. The community was also undergoing construction, including the expansion of the hly- Vee grocery store. Several buildings were leveled and new projects aimed to improve businesses downtown. A new statue was placed in front of the J. W. Jones Student Union that depicted a student from 1905 and a current student both studying. While many students appreciated the statue, others thought it was an unnecessary feature that cost too much and was in their way.. The first home football game brought dedications for the statue and the new Centennial Garden, which was constructed in between North and South complexes. We found ourselves enjoying the beauty of campus. r ' u
