Students wait patiently for new fine arts center. Something must have attracted all these students. It was probably Taylor ' s prime location snuggled peacefully in between a cornfield and a cow pasture. If that wasn ' t YOUR reason, undoubt- edly it was one of these: the low, low tuition costs (more economical than Tuesday nights at One Accord) —the exciting night life (a vigorous walk to Ivanhoe ' s) —the elaborate facilities (such as our all-purpose, ready to order, dirt floored field house) No 7 Well, then, what did bring you here?

S.U B. ' s Halloween Party set the stage for the 1st annual Miss Piggy contest. ... I wanted to compete in athletics at a small school . . . Tradition- my parents and or brothers and sisters graduated from TU . . . Academics I ' m interested in studying, not partying ... I had heard of Taylor through Wandering Wheels, and thought it would be a neat place to go . . . Believe it or not, I chose Taylor because it is set in a small, rural community. I didn ' t want to live in a big city, and I can go jogging at night without taking along a guard dog. . . . Everyone was exceptionally friendly when I visited Taylor on high school visitation day. I was impressed with the way all the speakers and professors stressed Jesus Christ as being primary to the college experience. It seems that so many Christian schools today have lost their Christian heritage and standards. In the computing center, junior Grace Loewen discovers computer art in her graphics class.
