COVER STORY: No Delta Blues for this Professor
Ward College Assistant Prof. Ivana Milanovic involves her students in her aerodynamics research. Shown with Milanovic are seniors Omar Runcie (left) and Salvatore Randazzo.
Ivana Milanovic was looking forward to a long and fruitful teaching career at the University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Then, one day in 1994, her department head pointed at her and said, "You're next."

All the other professors in the Mechanical Engineering Department had gone abroad to earn their Ph.D.'s. Now it was her turn.

From The Observer Editors

It has been almost four years since The Observer's metamorphosis from a tabloid-size newspaper into a full-color magazine. We felt it was time for a new look.

Along with our new design comes a renewed effort to make sure we meet the needs of all our readers.

What has not changed is our commitment to keeping you informed about the University's growth and progress and about the energy and pride that now infuse this campus.

The Observer always welcomes your comments and suggestions.
