'F I r . gg , I Michael J.,Svsl0 g g ,Francis L Tanzella Rodman E Taylor Jr determined by whether or not we become part of a State University system. That makes the future very hard to predict because if we did become part of a state system, then the school may be called upon to specialize more than it has up to now. But those decisions aren't going to be made locally and it's really hard to tell right now what the status is of the state university system is because the fiscal crisis in the State has taken everybody's attention for at least the past 6 months...So it's hard to say where we're going to go, though I think we'll definitely get larger. U TERRI CABRAL l think that SMU has great possibilities I've worked a lot on campus and have been in alot here on campus -- Theater Company, the TOFlCH...just different areas of the campus. l ve met a lot of people, know a lot of people, and l have seen the campus grow just living in the area. l came out here when SMU was smaller, in the 60's when it was one building. Each year as I've come out here it's grown and grown. l'm glad to see the new fine arts building is being built now and finally and hopefully there will be more emphasis on the Arts in this area because I feel that there is a great need in this area for performing arts. What l plan to do later on is, after l have enough experience in theater and have established myself, a music degree and all, I would like to come back to this area and teach children. l have been doing that now and l would like to see the kids in this area get into arts, into music, theater.to get into dance,visual arts and performing arts and I hope that SMU will expand its horizons in this area. l plan to come back for the music degree when and if it comes in '76. l'd like to see the arts grow here at SMU mainly 'cause that's what l'm really into.
