hanges in the economic and political climate have created challeng s for the University of orthern Iowa. The rapid transition from economic expansion to recession is trouble om a much for its swiftnes a for its magnitude. niversities thrive on stability. Our mi ion is to provide a safe place for maturing minds to explore the wonder of th worlds of place, idea and value . While we exp ct and nurture the chang that accompanies such exploration, changes that bufi t th univer ity from th out id an be een a threats to our mission.

In my thirty-five years as a member of a university faculty, I have not een before a reversal of fortunes as precipitous as tho e een this fiscal year. I has coped remarkably well. Th university, with the support of its Board of Regent , has made the commitment to maintain the quality of its programs for the long term. In the short t rm, no actions w r tak n that would interfere with th progress to graduation of any students currently enrolled.

Faculty and taff at I have worked even harder to minimize th impact on students. This i made even more significant wh n one realizes that peopl at U I have routinely outp rformed the resources that upport them. Receiving mid-1 vel per-student support from both state appropriation and tuition, I has continued to perform a on of the nation's best public comprehen ive universitie . The only explanation that occurs to me is that U I people make up the differenc .

For all the challenge , good things continue to happen at I. A new Honors Program is under way; w have broken ground for a $16.9 million addition to our science building, Mccollum Hall; we have made it past 80 percent of our goal of 75 million in the fir t two years of our five-year Student's First capital campaign; and football and volleyball teams advanced to post-season tournaments.

Iowan make it through winter every year. ome winter are tougher than others. This year' fiscal wint r i a tough one, but I will make it through, perhaps even have a little fun along the way, and emerge with its reputation not only intact, but with its degrees mor valuable than ev r. - UNI President Robert Koob The University of Northern Iowa magazine

That may eventually happen, too, if slowing state revenues bring more cuts next year. Presently, the money to maintain standards of excellence in the face of dramatic reduction in tate support will have to come directly from students and their families. The Board of Regents,
