To provide a liberal arts education and a good background for thie future has long been one of Wartburg ' s goals. Thils was the cornerstone upon which the college was laid. Building from its start in Saginaw. Michigan in 1852, the college has grown to accommodate over 1100 students. And the excellence which its founders opted for has not been compromised during its growth. The time professors have to spend individually with students offers an excellent opportunity for the exchange of ideas. Not only do the students absorb Icnowledge from professors, these faculty members gain also. The new computer system offers compu- ter science and business majors new opportunities for learning. Journalism students entered the com- puter age also with the Installation of two video display terminals in the publications house. Busi- ness majors ook forward to moving from Old Main into the New Building for the 1 983-84 school year. All departments continue to train students to fit future occupations, as the Career Development Center boasts a 96 percent placement average. The college provides time for professors to further their educations or careers by providing sabbatical leaves. Ken Weitz, instructor in English, retumed full time second semester after spending time In Iowa City working toward a Ph.D. in English. Axel Schuessler, associate professor of history, is reconstructing the earliest stages of the Chinese language using histor- ical documents that go back more than 3,000 years. There is a wide variety of study programs offered within the college system. The traditional programs — business, biology, mathematics — are juxta- posed with more unusual programs — music ther- apy, special education, and leisure services. Pro- grams such as economics have long since given way to interests in English, political science, and religion. Many night classes are being offered to allow more part time students to pick up college credit. Classes are offered every night of the week except Friday. The course offerings range from Shakespea- rean literature to self-defense. The tightening up of monies to aid students has affected financial aid packages of many. Lutheran Mutual Life doubled the amount of money in the Regents ' Scholarship Program and added some extra scholarships for computer science majors. The college continues to find support from the com- munity and alumni to help fray the costs for those pursuing the academic excellence Wartburg has to offer.

students adapt to changes on campus, adjust to ttie world situation, and manage to get by despite Increased financial strain. Filling in Foundations When the south entrance of the Student Union was closed to allowfor construction, cooperation became a way of life. students were annoyed wtth the extra walking the construction presented, but soon adapted knowing the new building would be more convenient in the future. Last year, when the yearbook staff started kicking around themes for the 1983 Fortress, we took a close look at Wortburg ' s academics, people, and activttles. We also looked at the traditions which make Wartburg special. We reflected on the history and looked at the future of Wartburg. It is the immediate future of the new building con- necting Luther Hail with the Student Union, and the removal of Wartburg Hall that are in students ' minds. We felt that improvement is important, but the emphasis should be on people, not buildings. Filling in Foundations is an appropriate way of expressing the place the Wartburg community has in students ' iives. The school builds on the founda- tion students have brought with them, preparing them for future occupations and places In society. With the cooperation of Wortburg ' s community, the people, academics, events, organizations and sports odd more filling to the foundation. At the Fortress office, we ' re proud to be a part of the Wartburg foundation. Ufl: Luther Hall Is the one campus building people see from Bremer Avenue.
