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.

We Are Students Of The '80's We don't need much. Just $4,200 a year for tuition and housing, a car to drive, money to spend, food to eat, clothes to wash, and a place to retreat on the week- ends and holidays when the aura of this place becomes just too much. An occassional letter from home, with mon- ey of course, a late night phone call, when you can catch us, and care pack- ages through the mail each week like clockwork are required. But, give us some space! Sound familiar? Independence for a student? Sound impossible? Unthought of for a parent, but very reasonable for students. Once their child leaves home, how could a par- ent not trust their only child amongst so many people at State? Trust these: sim- ple fraternity parties with minimal beer, of course; Homecoming celebration fes- tivities, which requires pairing of men and women together for heated races, battles and late night activities; road- trips with motel rooms packed full of coeds wall to wall in sleeping bags; sporting practices, grueling and exhaust- ing; and late night trips to Hardee's for the all-nutritious hamburger and greasy fries. What about the all-night gab ses- sions, doing countless loads of laundry while placing a red sweatshirt in with the whites and missing class simply be- cause you overslept? Independence for the parent? Known as a suit-case college, ISU students often run home to Mommy and Daddy when: the money runs out, the latest romance hasn't worked out or simply, your clothes need washing and ironing. Need advice? Call home. In the age of the eighties, independence ranks high for college students with stubbornness and a definite sense of ambition. Just give us the car' money and house and we aSk for Bringing back memories of the 150's, playing guitar and the harmonica on the Quad is a sign of doing no more. Yes we are the ISU student of' you, own thing. the eighties, dependent on people who care. RON KOCH by SHEILA HOFFMAN 6 Opening
