President and Mrs. Brandenburg, Dr. and Mrs. Menimon, and Mr. Russel Anderson greet Nickie McLean at the Freshman Reception. Pride at Wayne State has been justifiable this year. It has been a fiercely quiet pride directed not so much at building and campus improvements as towards the college's academic achievements. There was pride this year in the Trimester. Pioneering, introducing into Nebraska a novel concept of accelerated education, Wayne State received vast attention for the adoption of the three-term plan. And it has been a successful experiment, standing well after a year with initial problems stripped awoy. There was pride in the Honors Program. The many phases, Senior Colloquium, Independent Study, all have brought fresh attention to Wayne's curriculum. There wos pride in the unconditional accreditation of the Master's Program. Pride and surprise. Applying only for preliminary approval, the college received an unconditional nod from North Central Association after the concentrated program had been evaluated. There was pride in the reaffirmation of the Bachelor's Degree program. It was pointed out this year that Wayne Stote has maintained the full approval of the North Central Association for over forty years. And there was pride in the instructional staff. The high Doctoral percentage and the low degree of inbreeding spoke well for the faculty and the administration. It has been a proud, proud year. 4

NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR In the book entitled Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell gove us a picture of the world some years hence. We hope it is a work of fiction and not truly prophetic, for the State is master, the individual citizen its servant. Our hope that the year 1984 will find American freedoms preserved and extended comes from the college student of today. Independent in thought a seeker of truth, humanitarian in outlook, and militant in his citizenship, he will soon be providing the leadership for our country. At Wayne State we strive to create the training ground for tomorrow's citizen, a defender of the American way of life. i 3
