Quietly and quickly as the blistering summer sun began to dwindle . . . suitcases were packed, a trip to the grocery store bought all the neccessities, new clothes and hairstyles were bought, fresh and ambitious faces appeared . . . what was next? The 1986-87 school year was about to com- mence and Indiana State was the chosen place for some 11,000 students from New Haven, Indiana to Brooklyn, New York to Brazil, South America. It didn't matter where, when, or how these students came to being. Just WHY? Why? No one knows for sure. It could be because the School of Business is one of the best in the country. It could be because the School of Education produces successful teachers for kids from pre-school age to secondary age. Or it could be because of the advancing studies currently involved at the School of Technology. Maybe it would even involve the aca- demic scholarships given each year totaling thousands of valu- able dollars to the students. But whatever relative, teacher, friend, or pamphlet recom- mended ISU, they became the stepping stones for the popula- tion here in Terre Haute on the banks of the Wabash. by SHEILA HOFFMAN An aerial view of campus shows the towering skyline of ISU in Tetre Haute.

Richard G. Landini, President of Indi- ana State University for the past twelve years, was not solely responsible for a three phase master plan but he had a great deal to do with the future look of a campus that not only needed a face life but deserved one. Phase I of the plan has a projected completion date of 1990. This phase will see a new classroom building south of Sycamore Street where a parking lot was used by students. Pictured cm the bottom 0E the opposite page is a sketch of how Cillum Hall will appear after the recon- struction. At present, Gillum Hall houses Indiana State University's Stu. dents that have reached the age of twen- ty-one. In the future, it will become the new Student Union, something that the students on this campus have never en- joyed in the past. A mall will be added to the front with small shops for student LARRY WELLS President Richard G. Landini convenience. The completion date of Phase II is 1994 and this will bring three new build- ings to ISU. Some peeple had raised an eyebrow and a few groans were regis- tered over the tearing down of the Old Elk's Building. This reconstruction is to be initiated to make way for a contempo- rary office building to house administra- tive personnel. A new music building will become a part of the historic quad- rangle on the northeast side. A twwhun- dred and fifty seat lecture auditorium will be added to a renovated Alumni Center creating a new conference center. They Memorial Union will be part of the repair, renovation, and campus develop- ment. Last, but not least, Phase III will, hope- fully, be completed by the year 2000. This will finish all repair, renovation, and campus development. This fourteen year dream will come true only through the generosity of the State of Indiana's taxpayers, private do- nations, and endowments. Will the dreams of President Landini and thousands of students past, present, and future be realized? Let's hope so .. ISU not only needs this face life but de- serves one. i by JOANNA M.
