I imi (Bwr f si©( This year, like each new year, brought with it a change in faculty and staff Perhaps the most notable change came with the resignation of the Rev. Matthew E. Creighton, S.J., in August. With his departure, the Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J., became acting university president. A committee of faculty, staff and students was formed to search for a new president. The candidates included notable Jesuits from around the country. In December, the board of directors elected the Rev. Michael G. Morrison, S.J., as the 22nd president of the university. Additions to the College of Business Administration and the College of Arts and Sciences made a wider range of courses available. A computer science program was initiated at the request of students. In the face of changing personnel and expanded programs, the quality of education was not compromised, but improved.

Eric Musgjerd Group activities gave students a chance to experience the im- portance of their contributions. With more than 100 clubs and organizations, going to a meeting became an everyday part of a student ' s life. One new club, the International Students Association, boasted 250 members. Others, like the Amateur Radio Operators, claimed only two pr three in their group. Some clubs met purely for the social benefits gained. Others met for the purpose of promoting a certain academic or profes- sional interest. Whatever the interest, you could probably find a club pro- moting it. Fraternities and sororities sponsored parties, dances, and helped in fund-raising and community activities. The vital role these groups played in the array of campus ac- tivities did not go unnoticed. Eric Musgjerd Matt Nigro tests his skills on a fascinating video game, located in the dorm lobbies.
