The simple things in life like de- signing the decore for your dorm room, lunch at the Adams Center, a trip to Montgomery to do a little shopping and even standing in line at the business office is more fun if it is spent with a friend. Of course, your friends are also a big plus when it comes time to study for a test and you can ' t make heads or tails out of your notes or if you just need some- one to ex- plain what day it is to you. Troy State University is made up of students with varying preferences, inter- est, goals and dreams. One of the most important les- sons that is taught at TSU is that basic respect for others ideas and belief is the only way a civilized world can exist. This lessen is one that has allowed TSU to become a world wide University sys- tem with over 12000 stu- dents. The goal of most students is to complete the neces- sary degree requirements and graduate. This is a goal that has many lasting im- pressions attached to it. The understanding of the peo- ple that students live with during their stay at TSU and the making of new friends is but one of the many excit- ing and lasting impressions.

ft The beauty of the sunrise over lagoon park is but one of the many beau tiful aspects of the TSU grounds. There are many lasting impressions that were made this year among these were the announced retire- ment of Chancellor Ralph Wyatt Adams, the opening of the new 2.5 million dollor administration build- ing named in Chancellor Adams honor, the renaming of the Adams Center to the Dorthy Kelly Adams University Center, the changing of the decor of the Adam University Center, construction of a new the- ater and bowling alley, the constru- tion of a new foreign student ex- change house, the moving around of all the university offices and of course those individual impressions that each individual had of himself and the world around them. The most important impression to the senior class of 1989 was the gradu- ation ceremony held in Sartain Hall. It was the last spring commence- ment of Chancellor Ralph Wyatt Adams. -
