I will try to connect, spreading mortar and with each word I read, each passing figure I see, press another fragment into the wall until the ground is too coid and the wind too bitter to stay out any longer. And tonight we shall set everything aside as we so often do, sit up late with the stereo playing loudly, perhaps with the Christmas lights turned on, and order pizza. . -Eric Appleton CAMPUS LIFE w 11

IW 10.8 E A C The Pieces, The Places, - Putting Together, The Glue. . . The Artist Begins. Sunlight and wind on the Tundra; you hand me a piece of your day in simple words and easy expressions turned smoothly intricate on a lathe of familiarity. Together we go to the cafeteria for lunch. Books spill out of your pack and texts slide quietly beneath the conversation - my professors, my classes, , we did this, that, we will, we go, we did, Ilm working on, this is due, and God, I,ve got to get my laundry done soon. Ilm running out of clothes. 0 N We speak animatedly, tying knots and laying down the strokes of paint that will fill the gaps of my day with yours. How much ofthis will I retain, I ask myself between bites; the food, your face, or the paper Ilm struggling to finish? The trees are finally changing color, the leaves dropping and turning mosaic where they cover the grass; I remember how they looked green and bare, and I will go today and read under one while the weather holds.

12.8 E BUILDING ON. Changing For The Good Of All When students returned to campus in August, they had to make the usual adjustments. It all seemed the same until someone decided to add or drop a class, or take Stu, or change his major: And then he noticed his advisor and the dean of the college were both in the same building and the building was in the center of the campus! Huegli Hall was dedicated September 18 with a small red-carpet ceremony. All the deans of the college of Arts and Sciences and the dean of the Chapel are housed there along with the faculty of the English, history, political science and theology departments. qu a great thing for the university . . . to have a center kind of in the center of things? commented Dean Forrest Lance. According to Deaconness Diane Greve, director of diaconal services, the Lutheran Deaconness A C O N Association approached the University last year on negotiations to sell the building. The University pur- chased the building and made arrangements to move the deaconness center to the traditional home of the dean of the Chapel. Though the new center doesntt provide housing for the deaconness students, it is designed for their free use and has a library, file room, various offices, and a living and dining area. The students and faculty seem to have ad- justed well to change; uI think it was really a positive move for us and the university? said Greve. -Tammy Smith
