13 THE YEAR 1965-1966 began with the admission of an enormous freshman class, and record numbers of seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores moved off-campus as a result of the squeeze. Throughout the tall, Brown received frst-rate coverage in all the national news media; unfortunately, the items found newsworthy were usually those the public relations office would have liked to forget. Irony, however, is always interesting, whether it be a disciplinary dean's lack of self-discipline or a psychology professor's psychotic behavior. Birth control was an explosive issue, but after a few wecks in which U.H. had announced no policy change, everyone accepted or torgot the fact. Undaunted, Brown continued to grow, change, and remain the same. Finishing touches were added to the new library and Barus- Holley; ground was broken for the new grad center; an ancient elm on the college green succumbed to blight but Wilbour Hall remained firmly entrenched on the otherwise sacrosanct John D. Rockefeller block. Another tuition raise made Brown's fees tempo- rarily tops, the grading system and parietal rules underwent revi- sion, and one hoax issue too many proved the demise of an out- spoken, highly opinionated BDH board. While some fraternities split with nationals over the bias question, a redefinition of the magic 50 clause of the '62 Housing Report gave others a new lease on life. Viet Nam affected most Brown men in some way, if only by increasing their worries about grades. The black-out of November 9th was more immediate, less serious. Much too soon or much too late, the 1965-1966 academic year ended for each of us; the Keeney decade passed; and Brown was older by three more $easOns, tWo IMOre SEIesters, one Mmore year.

THE FUTURE depends in a great degree on Presi- dent-elect Ray Lorenzo Heffner. Vice-president and dean of faculties at Indiana University, Mr. Heffner spent thirteen years at that institution after receiving his B.A,, M.A., and Ph.D. from Yale. During the last years of his Indiana tenure, he managed an academic budget of $40 million per year and was instrumental in establishing programs in foreign language and in- ternational study which have been highly praised. The job awaiting him is a big one, even if it en- tails a redefinition of the duties, powers, and respon- sibilities of the office of President. Problems requiring immediate decisions include the nature and extent of tuture expansion, the means of meeting the Univer- sity's ever-growing financial needs, and the validity of the residential college idea in a growing, urban university.
