' P f One of the most beautiful times of the year on the campus is autumn. Mother Nature blesses FSU with the splendor of the season. Autumn arrives in Tallahassee in November. The semester is nearing end, students are anxiously awaiting their upcoming holidays, and yet anyone on campus cannot help but stop and look, amidst the excitement, at the beautiful trees along Dogwood and Ivy Ways. However, the Autumn of ' 85 was somewhat different. Behind all of the colorful scenes of the season lay dirt or mud — that which will soon be transformed into two major new landmarks on campus: the new Science Library and the new Union Complex. Yes, it ' s ugly now. but while you can look at the beautiful scenes of autumn and dream about the holidays to come, you can also look at the somewhat less beautiful scenes and picture the autumns to come which will embrace the two new landmarks on campus just as they do the buildings across campus today. Ah . . . a refreshing relief. Autumn at FSU 5

To be curious is to be alive: To sense the wonder in things great and small. To see, like Blake, The world in a grain of sand And heaven in a wild flower ; To dream, like Columbus, Of vistas beyond the horizon, And, with Galileo, Look upward toward the stars; To be curious is to discover: To browse through dusty pages Of the ancient past, And to turn with eagerness The opening leaves Of the book of tomorrow. — Katherine Edelman 4 Autumn at FSU

KATE WAS HERE!!! The 1985 Hurricane Season wreaked havoc on the western coast and Panhandle of Florida. Hur- ricanes Elena, Gloria, and Kate caused many evacuees from the Panhandle to flock to Tallahassee. Elena and Gloria hit Tallahassee ' s sur- rounding areas but it was Hurricane Kate that was a nightmare to this city. Despite its appearance late in the season, Kate had alar- ming strength which left Tallahassee without elec- tricity from 3 to 7 days. Classes were cancelled early Thursday and all day Friday. The campus escaped major damage with the exception of a tree which landed against Diffenbaugh and several trees which landed on the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity house and many cars parked there. Elsewhere in Tallahassee, residents escaped injuries as they found trees through both their homes and cars. But the hardest hit of all were those coastal residents whose income relies on the oyster industry. In January, the city held an auction and the Musical Moon held Bay Aid which rais- ed $10,000 involving area musi- cians who had earlier taped a video for the victims. In a time of crisis, everyone banded together. 6 Hurricane Kate
