interests. It offers the chance to interact with those from out of state and from other countries and learn of their culture. Tin's is inherent not only in the student body but in the faculty and staff as well. Currently there are students from 34 states and 32 foreign countries enrolled here. Over the years. SRU has evolved with respect of its students needs into a University starting out as a Normal School changing to a Teachers School then to a State College. The University offers those who wish to pursue a diverse education an opportunity that is unique at SRU. There is a great challenge existing here: a challenge to become what wc want to be because of a well-trained, understanding faculty and administration that wants to hear our point of view and discuss it. and a staff where personal expression and individualism is encouraged. The challenge is here. There are well over 100 student organizations on campus, funded through the Student Government Association, encouraging personal involvement. Slippery’ Rock, being a small town, cannot provide a thriving social environment but there exists on campus an assortment of activities that offer us the challenge to seek and find a variety of social opportunities that ate so necessary for our future growth. Opportunity does exist at SRU. There are endless horizons to explore here. The Bailey Library is very well-equipped for our needs. Among the 187 campus-based libraries in Pennsylvania, the Bailey is the 13th largest holding more than 1.3 million volumes, periodicals and other resources. There is a well-trained staff recognized nationally in the Career Center that coordinates nearly 200 corporate, government, and educational recruiters who visit our campus each year for interviews. SRI' provides a program that allows exploration of the unfamiliar. There arc many different campus events in music, art and theatre which we can perform or consume at our wish; informing lectures provided by the Lyceum Series; movies and concerts selected by a student-staffed Union Programming Board. The opportunities at T1 IB ROCK are endless. Take a look around and you can find them. Yes. THE ROCK is a solid beginning. It is where you are not treated so much as a number, another student passing through, but as an individual whose goals, dreams and aspirations are given the chance to surface before the masses of an ever-changing society. This 1986 edition of the SAXIGENA has attempted to capture through photographs and copy, that diversity of opportunity, that variety of culture, that special feeling that those of us graduating will always remember. Wc trust that you will agree that Slippery Rock University is special. 3
