CHANGE MARKS THE FACE OF ANY COLLEGE CAMPUS, AND CHANGE AT WESLEY AN CAN BE SEEN BOTH ON THE SURFACE AND IN ITS DEEPER FOUNDATIONS. PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS SEEM MORE EXERCISE-ORIENTED AS EVIDENCED BY THE JUNGLE OF SPOKES THAT HAVE SPRUNG UP ACROSS CAMPUS. STUDENTS SEEM WILLING TO TRADE PARKING PROBLEMS FOR PEDDLING PROBLEMS. MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION HAVE EVEN REGRESSED TO THE ROLLER SKATING PHASE OF MAN ' S DEVELOPMENT. THE GREAT DEBATE AND THE GREAT CAMPAIGN, FILLED SOME STUDENTS NEEDS FOR INVOLVEMENT OUTSIDE THE SPHERE OF THEIR OWN PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS. STUDENTS OFFERED THEIR TIME, TALENTS, AND TEEMING ENTHUSIASM TO FURTHER THE CAMPAIGNS OF BOTH MEN AND MONEY. AND EVEN THE PLACE TO BE HAS SHIFTED DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE O.T. TO THE BEEHIVE.

SOME CHANGES BECOME EVIDENT AT A GLANCE 10

Page 16 text:

OTHERS LIE DEEPER, WITHIN THE BEING OF WESLEY AN. THE CHANGES WHICH SHAPE THE SUBSTANCE OF WESLEYAN AND DETERMINE THE DIRECTION IN WHICH IT IS TO FLOW ARE SUBTLE BUT STRONG. THE DIRECTION IS SLOWLY SHIFTING FROM EMPHASIS ON THE CULTIVATION OF THE PHYSICAL PLANT TO THE CULTIVATION OF THE INTELLECT. THE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN RENOVATED AND BUILT, BUT THEIR TOTAL COM- PLETION IS NOW BEING FULFILLED THROUGH STUDENT USE. SEVERAL NEW COURSES, INCLUDING HUMANITIES AND MASS COMMUNICATIONS, HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET STUDENTS ' PRACTICAL NEEDS. SEVERAL INNOVATIONS ARE CONSIDERED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SOME OF WHICH MATERIALIZE INTO CONCRETE CHANGES. MANY OF THESE ORIGINATE THROUGH STUDENT CONCERN EXPRESSED IN COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND ARE THEN TRANS- FERRED TO ADMINISTRATIVE CHANNELS. THESE INCLUDE MINI-SEMESTER, TWENTY-FOUR HOUR VISITATION, SENIOR WOMEN LIVING OFF CAMPUS, RESTRUCTURING HOUSING, EXPANDING FOREIGN STUDIES, AND UNSTRUCTURED MAJORS. L ■
