,, V W -4, ganna.-- ----J . Y ,. Highlight of the year was President Wick's Inaugural, a three- day affair concluding with an Inaugural Ball. Construction on the Fine Arts Building and the ZOO-bed apart- ment-type dormitory continued throughout the year. Atwood Center Opens New Horizons At SCS 1966-67 was a wild, wonderful and truly historic year at St. Cloud State College. Enrollment continued to soar, reaching a record high of 7500. More than 1OO new instructors were added, raising the total number of faculty members to more than 400. And this year, at long last, the student protestors began flexing their muscles. A small, but vocal group, the dissidents angrily attacked the rules and regulations which have long been taken for granted by students and administrators ali-ke. The real focal point for students and faculty was the new Atwood Memorial College Center opened in September. The changes wrought by the College Center were far from subtle. Immediately the Center became the hub of all activity, featuring a snack bar and ratskeller, eight-lane bowling alley, barber shop. study areas, organization meeting rooms and student publication offices. Far more than a mere physical change, the College Center radically altered social life at St. Cloud. On the basis of this first year, we can only antici- pate that-St. Cloud, far from stagnant, is truly widen- ing its horizons in an attempt to become an exciting and stimulating center of higher education. 3

President Wick: ln selecting the 14th president of St. Cloud State College, the powers chose to turn inward for a suc- cessor to Dr. George F. Budd. This method, for all its apparant hazzards, offers one significant advantage. lt assures that the eventual victor will have a thor- ough understanding of his new duties and a close working relationship with those responsible for his selection. lt was in this embracing spirit that Robert Hobbie Wick was named president of SCS on April 24, 1966. Truly, the new president came to his job well aware of the problems facing St. Cloud State in the late 196O's. Unlike many yearbook dedications, this one is not a tribute to a man's lifetime of service in the vine- yards of his college. Other men have served as long and as faithfully as Dr. Wick. Some have labored President Wick expresses his surprise and gratitude to the two hundred SCSC students who gathered last April on the steps of Gallant Captain much longer. The 1967 Talahi is dedicated to Robert Wick the adventurer, the optomist, the gallant captain of a bulging ship. Today St. Cloud State is moving in rough and unpredictable waters. The sohool's growth is accelerating faster than either man or machine can grasp. The facilities which were yesterday's luxuries have become today the barest necessities. What will tomorrow demand? This is the staggering question that has befallen St. Cloud's 14th president. His ability to provide straightforward, accurate answers and with the greatest possible dispatch will be tested repeatedly in the days ahead. To Robert Hobbie Wick, a courageous and capable man, we dedicate the 1967 Talahi. Stewart Hall to officially congratulate Dr. Wick on his appoint- ment as 14th president of St. Cloud State College.
