Introduction m So went my first year, and my second toff A -s $sA-c-r.,-.... y --4MM.W -.- 4 'x. nd-t' ' w- one hot and muggy day in September. I think it had rained the day before. Coming down Hitt Street, toward the Memorial Student Union, the tall spires were my first sight of the University campus. Why, I thought, the University of Missouri is much like medieval France. Coming closer to the intersection I saw, across the street, a modern Fine Arts Building. l was confused. Especially when I soon discovered a collection of non-descript brown brick build- ings. I later learned they were women's dorms. Some architect, l muttered. Arriving at my own dorm, where I had hoped to settle down and meet the University com- munity, I began to feel desperate. I met my roommate from Nebraska. Across the hall, a native Missourian roomed with a freshman from New York City. Around the corner was a guy from Chicago, a journalism student, rooming with a local aggie. Before I had been there too long, I soon ran into the resident radicals, the freaks, the rednecks, and the conservatives. I was introduced to engineers and doctors, teachers and businessmen, writers and farmers. The simple definition of the University com- munity and I just could not get it together. Strange place, I decided. T he University of Missouri and I first met campusl, and my next. I still do not know who, or what, this Univer- sity is, not that it matters anymore. I have grown to like this place, with its confusion, its seeming lack of direction, and its astounding diversity. Every time I think I have it figured out, some thing or some one comes along to destroy all my illusions. Not too long ago, a week of student disturbances provoked the administration to martial law. Now, disturbances are for the most part ignored, almost to the point of embarrassment. Students and administrators have had success working things out without serious conflicts. Not that this means everything will be worked out next time. Probably it won't. Maybe it will. But I like that. This book, I believe, is an attempt to record those few whys, whos, and whats that seem to be fairly permanent, and to relate them to the endless transitional moments of the University of Missouri. Unfortunately, by the time we finish the book and the printers work all summer putting it together, the people, the structures, and the trmes will all have changed. The University of Missouri as we have recorded It in this book no longer exists. Maybe it never did. After all, yearbooks are only history books.

l, r l 3 . i 3; i l! J 6 i. l i g i 3 '1 Table of Contents Chapter 1 Living. Just plain living. If you have ever lived in a dorm, you remember that day you moved in. Greeks, you will never forget that day you were initiated into your house. But perhaps the saddest part of living is leaving, and a barren apartment says good-bye to a year, and to a life style. Lately, housing has come under fire. Why? Chapter 2 Educating pe0ple is a university's purpose. How well does Missouri do its job? What are students being taught, and why? Students, profs, and grads from six major colleges in the University voice their comments on, criti- cisms of, and suggestions for their own colleges. Maybe, we will see some of their suggestions working some day Chapter 3 Sports, and all the peOple who go into them, are perhaps the University's most pOpular attraction. From varsity football to intramural softball, every- one gets into the game. Coaches, officials. and trainers are all a part of the sports picture, too Chapter 4 The Student Establishment. Some say it is the Missouri Students Associa- l tion. But there is more. IRHA, AWS, LBC, Courier, Maneater, Blackout, Issue; they all are part of a system, working with one another, and in conflict with one another, striving to represent and report the student needs. They form the framework for student action, or do they? Chapter 5 After classes, before classes, between classes, and sometimes during classes, one can find thousands of non-academic pastimes. Keggers are a good starting point; you can take it from there. Concerts, speakers and plays draw as many pe0ple as classes. They're part of education Chapter 6 Four years are almost gone. Now what? For some, the draft is the next step. Others move into careers. Many get married before or shortly after leaving school. What does the senior have to look forward to, or back on? In the end, what good did these four years do you? 39 71 143 163 211
