Habecker began the ex- planation of his 10 year plan with the board’s vision state- ment for 2016: “Taylor University seeks to become one of the world’s premier Christian Universi- Photo by Amy Wood ties of Evangelical faith.” President Habecker speaks to faculty and staff members Thursday morning regarding his propsed plan for university expansion over the next ten years. Expansion plans include building a new science center, student union, chapel and a more pedestrian-friendly campus. See page 2 for the proposed map of Taylor, Upland in 2016.

I want to, but I can’t. Yes, there were some bad calls, but I think the real issue in this game was simply how poorly each team played. Were these the two best teams in the NFL? It sure didn’t look like it. I feel like any of the following teams could have beaten Pittsburgh or Se- attle on Sunday: the Patriots, Colts, Panthers, Broncos, or Bengals (with Palmer). Even Chicago might have stood a chance (okay, so maybe not). Frankly, the game was not much fun to watch. Remem- ber how well-played the Pats/Panthers Super Bowl was a couple years back?
