| Transcript | H 1547 Students were wholesome and boy/girl-next-door. Men wore close- cropped hair and well-cared for clothes, and women's hair was long and soft, and their clothes were feminine. 1976 For several years, it was all about the length. Long hair, long pants, long sleeves - all on both sexes. For an added twist, long skirts regained popularity with women. 1966 While men fashioned their hairstyles after Elvis, women teased their hair for the popular "flip" style. These girls probably had no idea that the style would be adapted - with strkingly different results - in the eighties. eoplle 0:O Q ■■■■■■ f^i §'^ mm^] 1986 Androgynous was the look for the times. Men's hair got longer and women's either got shorter, or much, much bigger. Casual clothes were sporty and could fit either men or women. p«3Pte9 P *„ „ In the first seventy-five years of the University of Houston, nearly a quarter million students graduated from our proud university. Even more, perhaps even one million others, have been a part of the UH community for one reason or another. What started out in 1927 as a junior college with only a few dozen students grew into the third largest university in Texas, with almost 33,000 students enrolled, in only seven decades. Many famous names, like basketball star Hakeem Olajuwon or Stuart Ostrow, who has gone o to produce several major Broadway plays such as "1776," have been a part of the UH community either as students or faculty. But the University was more than just famous names; the classroom setting benefitted from our school's multicultural, multilingual community. Beyond doubt, the University of Houston's greatest strength was the fact that its student body grew more diverse with each passing year. Initially a predominantly white school, UH quickly became an educational center for Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Europeans. By serving as a center of international scholarship to all who attended, the University was able to offer a unique cultural experience to each student in attendence. By the 2001-2002 school year, the University of Houston boasted the most diverse student body in the country, as students from all fifty states and more than eighty nations around the world were enrolled as students. This diversity was also reflected among the school's instructors who gained experience from universities as well as employment all over the world. Through the first seventy five years, many famous names have walked through the halls of Ezekiel Cullen. Many great minds were educated in the classrooms all over campus. Many great discoveries were made in UH's many laboratories. What else but greatness can we expect from UH students over the next seventy five years? Matthew E. Caster eoplle Josta! gia ^23> |
