tomorrow life is too lateg live today T0 DAY: Look at your campus. The past and the present mingle--complement each other. Altgeld--Its stateliness has endured the 77 years. Wil- liston, the first dormitory .. . Adams. . . lVlclVlurray . . . Buildings from the past playing very much a part of today . . .The Visual Arts Building. . .the Center. . . Grant Towers . . . Stevenson . . . modern . . . functional . . . contemporary. Names of persons out of history books, placed on plaques in front of new buildings. The old and the new blend to make North- ern's campus interesting . . .different . . . unique. Constant expanding and building is needed because of its constant growth. 1897 . . . 100 students. 1972 . . . 23,000. Phenominal. Students, mostly from the big city, came to DeKalb for their higher education. Today, Northern continues to grow, to build . An arboretum is gone--a psychology-math building rises in its place. Progress. The field where, years ago, many gridiron battles had been fought, was plowed up. Students will battle music there instead. Opportunity, that is what Northern is offering to the students of today. Grab it. Encounter it. The old and the new offer these chances--chances you cannot afford to let go by. -Martial

A Kaleidoscope of all times Today's student . . . He's inquisitive . . . restless. . . searching . . . trying to make his life better and more meaningful. He tries to fight a generation gap at home and an everlasting war in Vietnam. The males worry about the lottery. A number that will determine what happens in the next two years of their young lives. The females worry about the pill, their boyfriends, their future. Sex is uninhibited, no longer a dirty wordg part of life, part of every student's fantasies, dreams, realities. Alcohol is an escape . . . McCabes . . .the Uprising . . Cork and Bottle. You know them all. Popular places. Places where you can meet new friends, have a good time with old friends, forget the realities . . . the constant learning and studying. Alcohol is a release for the stralghts . . .the con- servative side of youth. A side of youth that is search- ing for its true identity in this world. Drugs are also an escape . . . More dangerous if you get caught. Just as prevalent as alcohol, more and more often today's student joins the trend and turns more and more toward today's tension releaser.
