MARCUS Photography Editor LYNE R. WALDMAN Managing Editor LORREY J. BIANCHI Campus Coordinator ;»j; abuse. But much more than physical development, September s air IS?!? f£ ' had a scintillating resonance of hope, of fear, of plans. September 18S-1 Ifj promised to bethestart of one very dynamic year. The job for INDEX people has always been to present a localized history of the year, a special kind of history. The intent has been to create for its special owner a catalyst which, to bridge the ever widening gap of time, works better and better with age. Too often, however, the INDEX-like yearbooks in general-has given a view to its readers as if it were a rose-colored looking glass. JILL A. WOLFF Chief of Personnel and Public Relations CARL B. SLOTNICK Business Manager DR. DARIO POLITELLA Adviser While for most of us. college experience included some roses, it certainly didn ' t lack moments of intense concern, belief, and action. But good or bad, university life belonged to us, profoundly affected us. It was us! Thus, for your pleasure and fulfillment, to more effec- tively recapture this, a coveted time, the 1 969 INDEX contains many different, sometimes extremely personal points of view in order to present the spirit of our year of college life poignantly enough to pro- vide a strong reference to interpretations and impressions with which you could really agree and disagree: something unequivocal enough to lighten the darkness born of years passing.
