Page 13 text:

The University of Arizona is an institution of higher education which is geared toward providing an outstanding education for its 30.00 students. The goals of the University of Arizona are to pro- vide the opportunity for the acquisition of comprehensive educa- tion and usable skills, to serve as a resource for the expansion of knowledge through research: and to extend the opportunity to improve the quality of life by making available the services and resources of the University, its faculty and staff, to the students of the University and citizens of the State. ( University Catalog) Needless to say. a comprehensive education includes many dif- ferent facets of life. Students are involved in political, religious, eco- nomic and sexual endeavors as well as academic endeavors. Acade- mia may be the main emphasis, however, this University provides so much more. It gives us a place to study, a time to perform, a place to relax, as well as a time and place to express ourselves. The time during which a person acquires a college education is a period of personal as well as intellectual growth. It is a time to explore life. to stand on one ' s own feet and to take charge of one ' s own life. It is to all these concerns that this University must address itself. The University of Arizona is a large institution in which one can easily become a number among many. Or if the initiative is taken, that person can become THE ONE among many. That is what is unique about this University. So much is provided, but it is left up to the individual to take advantage of what is offered. A person can be very active and involved or very quiet and : It all comes down to a matter of choice. This University is what you make it. It is The Land of Opportunity. - Photo by Derriak Anderson I SIVERSITV OF ARIZONA 9
