For All Ages This spirit is ageless. Persons aren ' t born with it, but they can be born into it. Children in second or third generation Bulldog families are nurtured with the MSU spirit from the beginning. These kids pick this college team and root for the Bulldogs as enthusiastically as the seasoned fans. Their maroon streak grows bigger and richer as they grow up. A special relationship between the old and the young develops as the aged pass the Bulldog spirit down to the young who carry it on. The alumni are responsible for generating this spirit with their continued sup- port. They pack into campus for home football games in campers and vans. Be- ing responsible for the Creative Arts Complex and stadium expansion, they are the constant renewal and rebirth of the spirit of MSU. ■ Opening

Through Changes Another year of changes as every year. Changes in fads, dress, and slang. There were changes both on campus and off. The beams of the Creative Arts Complex rose and stadium ex- pansion began. Miniskirts became popular. All of America experienced a surge in national patriotism as the Marines actively fought in several places. Airline passenger safety was threatened when Soviet Russia shot down a Korean Airlines passenger plane. Times changed with these things. MSU changed. The students changed. But the spirit remained constant. 8 — Opening
