finally finish
at last! One year ago, when 1 asked to be the Editor in Chief, I never thought that the job viras going to entail so much time, energy, and work. But now as ] write this farewell to a long year, ] can say that this year has been an experience in many ways. As Editor in Chief, I learned so much about the URI campus and the people here at URI (the right ones and the wrong ones). There are so many different things to know about this campus the way the system is operated and the many things that go on at and around URI. If people look deep enough, they can see that there is a variety of things that are offered here for them. This is what the Renaissance tries to accomplish. Pick out the qualities that make the University so different and put this under one binder every year. This is the theme of the 1983 Renaissance The Big Difference. URI has so much to offer but everything it offers is so different to each individual. The University has something to offer for everyone; that's what makes it a its specifics and its university generalities. There may be a lot of fered here at URI but the com munity has to accept the offer for its goal to be achieved. Without the acceptance of the offer, there is no need for a university because specifics would not be necessary, In other words, go out and get in volved! Be a part of the Universi It can make a ty. Big Difference! Though it is difficult to see ex actly what is so different about your school from the rest, we can see some of the advantages that we have that many schools in Rhode Island and other states do not have. From our idiosyncracies to our uniqueness, from the Col lege of Business Administration to the College of Pharmacy and from Providence to Kingston, URI has many diversifications that make it one of the best schools of higher learning in the area. And from all this, I am proud to present to the student body of the University of Rhode Island the 1983 Renaissance with all of its diversifications from previous years, one being its im provement, as the pattern has shown from year to year. was
