Many viewers dressed in the styles of the sixties, as Bernarda Goni did, to see the dramatic, colorful, abstract, and even lewd pieces. THE MEDA'8 MURAL was the work of a giant cumulative effort. The men's dorm, down the street from campus, has its own pool and now its own mural.

The heart of a university lies in ideas and in a vision of its future. This year we have had a large number of independent perspectives that somehow in- terconnected our long-standing concerns with recent innova- tions. A tentative core cur- riculum emerged.

We feel the pains of nor- malcy and are poised to take off in new directions, but we somehow seem uncertain. We are caught up in our own detachment. How else can one explain the apparent apathy of a faculty who initially failed to find a new president for its own governing body?
