HAT does the year 1949 mean to you? The events of the year may have affected you in any number of ways. But there definitely were some happenings that stood out above the others. On the world-wide front, the Russian-Western power stalemate meant increasing tension each day. The North Atlantic Pact and the Palestine issue affected millions of people all over the world. One of the greatest political upsets of all time occurred in November when Harry Truman defeated his Republican opponent, Thomas Dewey. All the public opinion polls had forecast a Dewey victory. - In Minnesota, the Territorial Centennial was the big event. Every com- munity in the state turned out to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the territory of Minnesota. Harold Stassen's bid for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination had the Middle West echoing his name during the spring and summer. Again in 1949 the University expanded its facilities. It started the con- struction of two buildings for the Institute of Technology at a cost of approxi- mately S4,500,000. The Centennial year also brought better student representa- tion in campus affairs with the formation of the new All-University Congress. The headlines carried the news of the discrimination policy debates which proved to be the big campus news items of the year. To us 1949 meant the production of a book that would carry the Centen- nial theme and that also would bring out the personality of the University. An extensive Student Life section has been added to show part of the stu- dent'stnon-academic life. A Queen section appears for the Hrst time to honor those who annually reign over campus social events. We hope that these additions and the other features will help make the '49 Gopher as much a part of this year to you as the above well-known events.
