Summer is over.
We greet the fall with hopes that autumn and winter will bring relief from the worst drought of this century in many parts of our eastern United States. The drought has changed both the exterior and interior landscapes of many in this area. Here on campus, traffic patterns have changed with the temporary closure of Valentine Hall as it undergoes renovation. It is symbolic of our new era that it will reopen in the year 2000. Undoubtedly, this last SRR issue of the century and the millennium gives us an impending sense of the future in a deeper way.
