' p ' I think it ' s time for a change, because the college is growing. The scope of our serv- ices is much broader. The term ' community ' indicates everyone is involved — and that ' s how it should be. Curtis Monroe V ' « Our new name shows progress yet causes some resistance. I believe we should be proud of the label ' community ' because it represents the expansion of our college. Linda Zettler ■ ■ ' Opening 17

Some Things Change Itawamba Community College is as solid as the rocks that border the Term -Tom Wa- terway. The name may change, but it ' s still here — and growing. 1988 — enrollment is on the rise. The dorms are overflowing. The Fulton Campus doesn ' t look anything like it did 40 years ago. The Tupelo Campus didn ' t come about until 1963. Both have always been one step ahead of the future. Federal, state and local dollars enable thousands of persons to take advantage of the highest quality of education. ICC offers a good solid education — a foundation for the future of its students. Itawamba is a pioneer in the latest state- of-the-art instruction — on both campuses. We ' ve come a long way in 40 years. To- day ' s modern buildings are filled with com- puters, lasers, robots and many othex elec- tronic gadgets. No matter what it ' s physical appearance, the college hasn ' t changed. It ' s a great in- stitution — solid as a rock. No matter what it ' s name, like the rocks, some things never change. ' i ' I think the word ' community ' depicts to a m.uch better degree what a two-year institution of higher learning should be. It shows we ' re serving people — and peo- ple make up a community. Cynthia Jones I I prefer the title IJC because that is what I have been used to, but ' what ' s in a name? ' IJC ' s becoming a com- munity college was beneficial not only for the students but also for the community. ICC provides more opportu- nities and less restric- tions. ICC was the first junior coUege in Missis- sippi to change to a community college. This is a milestone for which we should all be proud! Tamara Humphries I m (L. I 16 Opening
