The Park Place Mall. Yet another grim reminder that Greater Metropolis is consuming MUS ' s rural campus. The mall ' s grand opening coincided with the MUS ' 81 - ' 82 grand opening. With the grand occasion came the solution to the riddle of the geometric shapes adorning the mail ' s roof: that is, that they serve no purpose at all. With the end of September came the renovation of the Clack Dining Hall overhead. A team of highly skilled construction majors (with high honors at the Captain Davis Institution of Architecture, Driving, and Slave Labor) uprooted thejj roof and replaced it with a space-age layer of tar which, quoth a local dietician, ■ ' makes a pretty good grade of gravy. EDIFICATION U shouldn ' t come as such a surprise. It ' s the kind of thing that ' s been going on since the beginning of civilization. With the exception of a few generations, the growth of architecture has been going on since centuries B.C. The corner of Park and Ridgeway is merely another block of the expanding world, but as students come and go, the altered landscape and terraced horizon will come to be familiar. Like the St. Francis Hospital and the Hyatt Regency, obtrusions like the Park Place Mall and the new trans-Ridgeway railroad| bridge will no longer be recognized as new and exciting points of interest and will blend into the ever-changing ken of the MUS campus. As for the library and the lunchroom roof, that ' s simply called internal ameliorations. 22 STUDENT LIFE

MUS, Where Are you? Scampering across the globe, whether in Paris or their own backyard, students proved once again that they can make the most of wherever they are. Summer vacation for MUS isn ' t just going to Destin, it ' s doing Destin. It isn ' t going to Europe, it ' s going into Europe. Summer means not only plowing one ' s way through three books, but learning from places visited. Tom Higley ventured to Colorado late this summer where he took this picture of a secluded valley in Arapahoe Basin near Dillon, Colorado. A poignant sunset silhouettes two fishing boats in the Bay of Cozumel off the Yucatan. Brad Wilkinson toured the Mayan ruins on the west tip of Mexico. 24 STUDENT LIFE
