In the Midst of Transition , the theme for the 1978 CEER, is descriptive of the way in which the college has been viewed this past year. Look around you. The campus we know located in Orange since 1953. has seen many transitions. Look around you. Feel the mood of the students who have passed through frustration and wariness to a more relaxed and secure 1 978. Remember Chapman College only a short time ago was in the midst of financial pressures. The- World Campus Afloat was passed on, the offi- cial President did not produce an aura of hope and everyone struggled without guidance or direc- tion. Look around you now. As students who have invested four years in Chapman ' s history, our united will to survive produced a bond — a sharing of a common home. The bond gained strength with the arrival of Presi- dent G.T. Buck Stnith and his family. President Smith looked around him and saw that Chapman College was more than a means to an academic education, it was vested with family ties. At his insistence, we have seen our family ties grow. As a leader. President Smith offers much, even in the midst of transitions. Honest and friendly, stu- dents who before felt outside of the family, now see a time when the gap between the administration and student body has lessened. President Smith The woman behind the man, Joni Smith, has become an intregal part of our lives. With enthusi- asm and creativity, she has devoted her time to many phases of the Chapman campus. This added and always gracious touch, continued to mean a great deal to everyone fortunate enough to meet her. As Students we are all one on the Chapman Cam- pus. Especially welcome are the International Stu- dents, from more than 30 countries world-wide, they bring knowledge of the exotic and different, sharing their cultures as they learn ours. During the Presidential Inauguration in February, Mr. Smith extended an invitation to a challenge to more than academic learning. A challenge to each one of us to become a whole person, in every phase of our lives. In the Midst of Transition, it is a pleasure to accept.
