Is this a building or a giant Eskimo igloo? Where is nty advisor? lie's moved! Havoc reigned for a feu weeks as Operation Big Move” took place on campus; thousands of } ounds of equipment, books and teachers were carted and shiltcd from building to building by workmen. (Actually the faculty and staff walked.) In the new Science building, many of the rooms were without furniture when students fitst Ixgan classes. Praise and Garland halls, newly acquired from the Milwaukee Downer Seminary, were without heat for several chilly days. Rejuvinating and redecorating. in these halls, went into full, noisy swing around the occupied classrooms. As if-this wasn't enough, many students, including old-timers became l«wt. searching for advisors that were moved and classes now held in strange, new buildings.

Education seeks to advance man: ii attempt to assist him in adjusting to the life constantly altered by the very progress it fosters. To do so cucccssfully. l'W M must improve and readjust too. But why to an urban university concept? One reason is I he significant number of students from this area that compose the student body and the far-reaching impact it will have on providing this community with qualified professional people; IJW-M can increase the overall caliber of her city through education of tlic citizenry. It can provide facilities for civic use of educational value, just as it makes readily available opportunities to expand and develop cultural and intellectual interests. What is most exciting about our growth is that wc are moving forward, steadily, with little sign in the future of stopping or even feeling stymies!. Bring a part of this institution makes you feel a lot like Daedalus must have felt as he glided majestically and safely to Sicily. Wc not only have the potential in our hands, the knowledge of how to fly. but we have the sense and the leadership to control it. 9
