Memphis State University has long recognized her respon- sibility to produce healthy, well adjusted citizens who will take their places in society. Thus she has the nation ' s larg- est Air Force ROTC Cadet Corps (right) and an active physical education program (below left). Civic freedom and responsibilities are em- phasized in the various campus elections (below). Discipline and regimen- tation are needed in this world of confusion and conflict. They enable Man to have control, if not of his surroundings, of him- self. But with the freedom Man cherishes so dearly comes many obligations and responsibilities. While the university strives to ed- ucate the mind, it also seeks to instill in its stu- dents a sense of responsi- bility which is fundamental in maintaining a dynamic society. 20

Man searches, finds, cre- ates and mns. He runs to find himself, to make a class, to meet a date. At times he argues with oth- ers but more often with himself. He restlessly set- tles for brief moments of serious discussions then jumps info his world again, melting into its madness. He continually searches only to find par- tial appeasement for his quests. Man looks to his university for aid in solv- ing his dilemma. He seeks from her the knowledge to purge his confusions and to find substance in the midst of his madness. Like students at all univer- sities, MSU undergraduates must contend with such trials as tickets from the Campus Police (far left), battling their way through the 7nain foyer of the Student Center (left), and making it to class with all their burdens (above). 19
