Umm! Good!!!f DEAN C. W. B·URSCH, II We have just completed a year of marked achievement; State Hall finished, College Center started, and accreditation granted. It is a source of strength and pride to belong to an institution where growth and vitality are characteristic, where laying solid fo~ndations in practical working democracy is an every-day task, where overcoming obstacles is recognized as the only reliable avenue to power and in­ fluence. The two aspects of our development with most meaning for me this year were the increasing signs of strength and responsibility in student government, and the very welcome upsurge ot general in­ terest in student activities. Of. long-range significance to student life was the re-establishment by the Faculty of the Advisor System. Now, with each student required to work through his program with some member of the Faculty, we have moved one step close to the educational teamwork which is a prime goal at Portland State College.
