A YEAR OF DECISION, a year of change. For the student this is expected. The four year progression from dink to diplomas is often scarred with defeat, self- examination and agonizing decision. But this year will be remembered as the year Ohio Wesleyan University stepped upon the rocky road to self-betterment. After years of tradition bound conservatism and cautious expansion, the campus last spring burst into bitter internecine strife; at hrst private and then humiliatingly public. Amidst insult and innuendo, the University was forced to reconsider basic goals and the means used in their implementation. Academic policy and direction had to be critically and honestly examined. A hierarchal complex of interrelationships was profoundly, perhaps permanently altered. Resolved at last by autocratic action, the strife gave rise to a reapportioned balance of power, new Vigorous leadership and an ambitious outline for future physical expansion. This year has also seen student action extending beyond the personal. Campus leaders rose before Trustees and administration to voice student opinion in vital matters of academic policy. The structure, form, and even worth of student government are undergoing critical examination. Questions have been raised regarding fraternities and sororities; their relation to the University and their membership selection policies. As a symbolic expression of this year, we have Chosen the furca or fork, a medieval symbol of the Trinity. To ancient man it represented hope and was the Pythagorean emblem of the course of life; a rising path with forked roads to good and evil. To us it is a symbol not only of a crossroad demanding a decision regarding further progress, but also of the changes we have seen and the hope we feel. 10
