' O brave new world! ' Miranda was proclaiming the possibility of loveliness, the possibility of transforming even the nightmare into something fine and noble. ' O brave new world! ' It was a challenge, a command. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World In rhis spring of 1984 we ore colled ro look or ourselves, our world, and our fu- rure.

The consrruc- rion of o new dormitory and dining hall has expanded the residential fociliries, en- abling more students to live on campus and porricipare in residenrial life. The ad- dition of Q Direcror of Academic Compur- ing and a Direcror of Long-Ronge Plan- ning ro rhe odminisrrarion also reflects on onriciporion of rhe needs of tomorrow. Discussion of Lo Salle ' s furure as college or university highlights rhe continual process of evaluation and self scruriny or the Col- lege. And involvement in the Campus Boulevard Corporation, rhe Small Busi- ness Developmenr Cenrer and rhe Ur- ban Studies Cenrer reaffirms Lo Salle ' s commitment ro rhe people and insritu- rions of Philadelphia. The giving spirir of Lo Solle is also shown in projecrs ranging from wolkorh- ons and the Committee on Appalachian Life to the Special Olympics ond Ploy Day. Students express rheir concerns for rhe furure rhrough orgonizorions such as Mobilization for Survival, Pox Chrisri, and the Hunger Task Force. They work re- ward their own goals, striving for excel- lence in rhe classroom and on rhe play- ing field. And rheir progress is encouraged by dedicated faculty, who shape their education and help equip them to foce rhe chollenges of 1984 and beyond. The srory that unfolds on rhe pages of this Explorer is a testament to rhe many individuals, ideas and experiences rhor comprise La Solle College 1984. Ir ' s your story. And ir ' s just begun.
