mm ] he 1966 Tower has tried to present the ‘““complex pattern of attitudes, values and perceptions” which make up today’s college student and the way he and those viewing the University from the outside relate U-D to the community. U-D students compare activities, cur- ricula, professors and facilities with those of other colleges and rate the education they receive from all angles. In the same way, others pass judg- ment on U-D even though they see only a small part of the whole. People of the city, state and nation read about it in newspapers and hear about it on radio and TV, comparing U-D with other col- leges. The opinions they form may be completely different from the opinions of those who see more of U-D. Each person evaluates from a differ- ent viewpoint and rates according to his interests. One person might emphasize that U-D recently received a grant to do research work for the government in biology. Another may wonder whether the Titans beat Indiana, a Big Ten school, in basketball. Because of this, the staff has tried to present U-D from three viewpoints: outer —the way the public sees U-D; middle— the way both students and outsiders see it; inner—the way students see it. This is true perspective: The view of the students and those outside the Uni- versity which together give an overall picture of U-D.

A look at U-D sees the student in two perspectives. Not only is he patterned against all that U-D stands for, but, individually, he stands out from all of the others.
