He is one face in 20,000, a student of Northern Illinois University. He lives in a high rise dormitory, eats assembly line food in a crowded cafeteria, and attends videotaped lectures in an over- flowing auditorium. Yet, not this im- personal architecture and automated bureaucracy, but rather, his human resources and ideals determine the character of his university. In a glass and steel, ivy and stone institution, he meets the love genera- tion, the peace marchers, the concerned Young Democrats and Republicans. His friends range from long-haired intellectuals to youthful socialites. He senses their differences, yet he feels even more strongly their unity. With these students, he shares chal- lenges to his beliefs, contradictory ideas, and unexperienced freedoms. He also faces new restrictions, un- avoidable responsibilities, and newly complex personal relationships. He accepts the inevitable-if you can prove to him that it is inevitable, and burns to change that which seems senseless . . . he loves it and he hates it. lt frightens him and exhilarates him. But through everything, he finds uni- versity life a CONFRONTATION. . ,

Now I find that having all of these new people throwing new ideas at me all at once is confusing. lt's hard to know what to believe and what to dis- count. . , it's a challenge. I've learned to think since I came here. I'm beginning to really see the world more and more. Before l just saw that one little area that was my com- munity. Now I'm surrounded by people from different Communities, different realms of thought, and I'm realizing that there is something around other than the things I grew up knowing. All of a sudden there is no one to help you with your problems-no one to dictate, this is right and that is wrongf' You 've got to get off by yourself and confront your problems and your life on your own.
