University VP: Finance numbers are contingent on government should be completed by September bers. But we must ask ourselves whether we are debating sheer numbers here. As Dean of Students David McMurray likes to ask: "is small a feeling or a num- ber?" In other words, do students value Laurier because of its physical size or because of how the school's environ- ment makes them feel? If we manage to increase a propor- tionate number of leadership and vol- unteer opportunities on campus, we may help preserve this small communi- ty feeling that makes Laurier a unique university. Deciding not to grow would undoubtedly see the raising of an already high entrance average. Bob Byron wonders if this might cause the school to "lose that student contribu- tion that makes us what we are." This is a danger. Maintaining a high quality of the ROCHACEWICH experience and education of each Laurier student needs to be a top prior- LAURA ity in the face of growth.
