Other recent changes which have met with varying de- grees of opposition fall into the category of overall col- lege atmosphere. Wholesale lin scope, not costl changes have been made in Burpee Center, resulting in a beauti- ful, new Admissions and Fi- nancial Aid Office and remod- eled Registration and Busi- ness Offices. To accomodate these changes, the student- ffaculty snack bar was moved from Burpee to John- son Center Qnow the spa- cious, ever-popular Lion's Deny. Upstairs in Burpee fur- ther remodeling took place, resulting in fairly impressive administration oflices, a ren- ovated Forrest Cool Lounge, and an imposing - if rather functionless - balcony. Other changes on the campus' in- clude the closing of Mciiaw Hall in favor of reopening Castor, Nelson, and Olson halls, alterations in the es- cort and visitation policies, and the replacement of the Rolling R symbol with the Re- gent Lion. Though not per- haps as obvious as the pro- gram changes, the atmo- spheric changes have sub- stantially altered the look and feel of the Rockford Col- lege campus.

With all the aforementioned changes taking place, what can we look for in the future? New Chairman of the Board Tom Johnson and Provost Joel Rodney have already begun to stabilize the college financially while retaining programs and faculty, and new Dean of Admissions Gerald Wouri and his staff have begun an aggressive nationwide recruiting campaign. Controversial President Norman Stewart has moved on and the search is on for the man best suited to guiding Rockford College into its Promised Land. There is a fresh optimism in the air which is best expressed by Johnson's statement, The worst is over with. Rockford College certainly seems to be rolling with the changes that have confronted it and will probably continue to do so in the future.
