J.K.K. J.K.K, Moming shadows stretch over the Emens Auditorium concourse before students begin poun'ng onto its path. The concourse was used as one ofthe hubs on campus for seeing friends and for selling almost anything to people. s ei' 'f while- - f ' -' -2' -.5gg55?,:-r.1-tqS,.- , A .. . -. ,l 1 A.. - 'f-sq' ff-S-1'fa.ea4A4. ---2552+-?5.,.?-3:51-.

The doorway to the old library looks a little antiquated in comparison to the modern entrances to Bracken Library, but it still has an important role in creating the unique atmosphere to that portion of the campus. The spirit of '76 was upon us. Bicentennial issues starred and striped their way into almost every happening nationwide and locally too. But although there was celebration throughout the land, we still maintained OUR SIDE OF '76 on the Muncie campus. True, Emens Auditorium brought in several bicentennial productions but there were still the student plays and variety shows that were termed more than successful. And while the rest of the country was taking a look backwards in history, we were looking ahead to more growth. The old liirary was no more and newly-christened Bracken broke our past ties with an obscure place to research and study. Perhaps only the Arts Terrace and its serene beauty kept up an old tradition. Never had it been more dive with people. Warmer weather helped but maybe students needed more relaxation to get away from the ever-present hassles of college life. OUR SIDE OF '76 proved more than iust sitting back and watching the rest of the country celebrate. We did lots of our own in our own little ways, whether it be through a campus-wide activity like llomecoming or an individual's night at the Chug celebrating an 'A' or, for that matter, drowning out thoughts of an 'F.' One thing was for sure though. Students began taking more pride in the university. Campus spirit grew to unheud of heights when the fall sports teams won consistently week after week. But not only in sports did the pride grow. Our side also had a good academic one to it as departments grew to take on the higher errollment numbers. Some even gained accreditation, as the landscape Architecture program, which gave a new meaning to true academic growth. ln one lump sum BSU students merely waltzed through the year as before but with new drives and new goals. OUR SIDE OF '76 seemed unique to us. We did what we wmted and what we didn't always want to do. We did some bicentennial work but we kept it within our own perspective. But, most of all, we simply did. Nestled amongst the autumn trees. the Arts Terrace takes on its grandeur structure. The wooded lawn behind the Arts Building often was filled to capacity on warm days with students merely relaxing and enjoying the late summer weather. Overview - Page 3
