There is just something sort of wonderful about our school. We don't mind not being the biggest, and you canit convince us that we are not the best. We have that small school companionship and the big school advantages. By being Oklahoma City's only University we have all the advantages of an urban university. All things are here. All that remains for the student to do is to come and get them. Things are looking even better this year. Our beloved Dr. C. Q. Smith has been promoted to Chan- cellor to do the things he has wanted to do and can do so well. Heading our University is a new man, Dr. jack Stauffer Wilkes. A young man and a friendly man, a man who does not shirk responsibility and creates a feeling of pride and willingness to cooperate in his co-workers. There are new hands at the helm now and op- erating under the principles of higher education in America which was founded and has been made strong by the private church-related institution of higher learning we know we are still underway. Our new landscape projects and our reaffirmaf tion of our bonds with Christianity are symbolic of our goals. Like the voice of the turtle, something is alive in our land. Our administration and faculty trusts- and has confidence in the student body and it is returned many times. College is the time to learn and practice. The personal guidance that is here assures proper education. Sometimes we become aware that our mentors might have a little clay in their feet, but we never doubt that they are here for our development. And the closer we get to graduation the more we appreciate the opportunities that are constantly available to us, if we will just use them.
