When we first arrived at UR I we were mostly naive, young freshmen. We prob- ably each came packed with a bag of misconceptions that we thought were mature views on life. College life seemed like an open excuse to rebel and find out exactly who we real- ly were. We found it difficult to see the fine line drawn between exploration and stupidity. Each time we put ourselves into social situations, we tested our new grown up behavior,” we felt we had acquired just because we had entered college. It was not long before we had lost perspective and began to realize that we may have abused some of those things we had thought were symbolic of maturity. In our own naivity, we may have all sacri- ficed maturity for misguided symbols of adulthood. 3

Here we are looking into a brand new decade. Yet. we are looking back to our past years, too. When we reflect on our educational years at URI. it seems strange that the memories and moments we recall most vividly are sometimes those times we have nurtured well beyond the con- fines of any classroom. If there is any one word to describe what has probably affected us most here, that word might be growth.” Contrary to much prevailing opinion. URI does not op- erate in it ' s own little microcosm de- tatched from the rest of the world. Rath- er, we deal with the same problems that face people outside the University. The difference is, we incorporate these prob- lems in our intellectual growth to come up with a more rational way to deal with the problems.
