Ghosts This open panorama of more than 80 years ago is now criss-crossed with paved streets, lined with houses and crowded with pioneers of a new era. Many of these structures still stand, not only as monuments to their time but as functional academic buildings. The IlifT School of Theology. University Hall and Chamberlain Observatory, all built prior to 1900. are still in use today, although they arc now crowded by dozens of newer buildings. Two buildings that were to join these architectural pioneers in less than a decade were Carnegie Hall, the last library donated by Andrew Carnegie himself. and Science Hall. Carnegie sits vacant, waiting for funds for renovation, while Science Hall still houses several Core science labs. 33

It also gives students a voice in the administration and shows that their opinions matter. Juniors and seniors who are nominated by administrators become members when the final selection is made by the Chancellor himself Members of the Corps represent a wide range of campus interests and are chosen for a variety of reasons Some are scholars and some are student leaders or athletes, but all have demonstrated strong dedication to DU. Dubes of the CLC include serving as hosts for events at the Chancellor's home or special events on campus. Knowledge of academic and student programs is essential, as members often work with administrators from other universities, the Board of Trustees, alumni and prospective students. Above all. representing the concerns and interests of the students is the most important function of the CLC. Every Wednesday morning, significant topics are discussed with the Chancellor and other administrators It's an honor to be chosen to serve the Office of the Chancellor. but one that demands an on-going dedication to the ideas of the students.

The process of orienting new students to DU was accomplished in two summer programs, a few on-the-road programs and the final September program.
