SPECTRUM 1987 This year's Spectrum is volume 22. Twenty-one years' worth of yearbooks have been, for the most part, the same. The books have pictured faculty, staff, and students involved in campus activities and organi- zations. A few years ago, we even had pictures of the RTC Basketball Team. The yearbook hasn't changed much in the past two decades. Rown Technical College, however, has changed. More accurately to reflect the changes of the years, the 1987 yearbook is different. It is different from past Rowan Tech yearbooks. It is different from high school yearbooks. The reasons are simple. The typical RTC student is no longer someone right out of high school. Now, that student is typically working, older, often with a family. In other words, our typical student in 1987 had little time to devote to on-campus activities or organizations or sports . . . little time to devote to -l things that usually fill yearbooks. Dimensions, this year's theme, we hope will cap- ture what this book will try to do. We have tried to cover the full extent of the experience of being part of Rowan Technical College. We have done this by ex- ploring different angles of people and of their activities on and off campus. As a record of who was here, we have presewed the section of photographs of students and staff. To explore other dimensions of RTC, the rest of the book is divided into two main parts. One part is a selection of feature stories about people, activities, and events. The other part is a selection of works - photos, writings, art - by students and staff. This combination - individual pictures, features, reflections - we think will better chronicle the Dimen- sions of Rowan Technical College, 1987.

Individuals, groups of us working together, the place itself, and the inter-relation of these parts - these are the length, width, and depth of Rowan Tech, its dimensions. Spectrum 1987 will capture the extent and scope of our year here together. 3 1' . 3' 'I ,if
