lflhhshio Hal' Memories Of A Dorm AbouT To Be DesTroyed osT of us were fairly surprised To acTuaIIy see how much The compleTed Woodruff Physical EducaTion Cen- Ter had changed The appearance of our familiar cam- pus. Looking aT iT from The sTeps of Winship Hall, I was reminded of The Time I refurned home for Chrisfmas To see how much my puppy had grown. Things jusT looked bigger, differenT, beTTer. IT was a change well needed. BuT according To plans, The new gym is only parT of Emory's vision of improving The campus. I had To smile Then, when I saw ThaT Winship Hall was sTill sTanding, sfill doing iTs job of housing sTudenTs as iT had done for over 50 years. Winship Hall scheduled for desTrucTion by The DeparT- menf of Residenfial FaciliTies early in The fall semesTer To make room for The new STudenT CenTer, buT The universi- Ty did noT have enough funds To sfari The projecT be- cause of cosT overruns in The proposed archiTecTuaI plans. So The building is now being kepT open To house sTudenTs, and since Winship is doing whaT iT likes To do, I'm sure iT is somewhaf happy. IT sTill resfs on The same hill iT has since 1924, when iT was firsT consTrucTed during a Time when There were no Trans-Ams, and Emory was mosTly rough Terrain covered wiTh hearty dogwoods, and playful squirrels. Winship Hall had seen a good deal of change, I decided as I wafched a bulldozer demolish a large piece of rubble ThaT was once parT of The old Gym. Walking down The musTy corridors revived a sTrong flow of memories from IasT year, memories ThaT made me feel glad ThaT Winship was sTill sTanding, regardless of whefher The roof leaked or The painT was peeling in The corners of The T.V. lounge. How many Times, I wondered, had This building seen a cold miserable sTudenT rush ouT of The chilling January rain inTo The warm and glowing lounge where sTudenTs relaxed around a well used fire- place? Could iT counT The Times ThaT young lovers held hands as They walked down The hall on Their way To The library? Winship Hall would feel old, I ThoughT, afTer seeing so much change, so much human joy and sadness. Now iT felT someThing enTirely new, someThing implied by The sweaTing consTrucTion worker who efficienTly mowed over whaT had once been parT of a sisTer building de- signed To provided physical exercise. As I leaned onTo The sill of a window overlooking Asbury Lane, I reminded myself ThaT The new sTudenT cenTer would be a beaufiful addiTion To Emory's campus: buT I jusT wished ThaT The design I had carved on my desk could jusT sTay There a liTTIe longer, and noT be IosT in a sea of rubble and dusTy pIasTer. I probably would never geT To see iT anyway, since mosT of The building is locked up and noT being used. As I walked down Asbury Lane, kicking a piece of spaceage rubber ThaT would soon be a parT of The new Track, I was comforTed by The facT ThaT buildings cannoT feel. - Christopher Ahmed.

It was designed to house 432 students. ln 4982-83 Winship was converted into a coed freshman dorm. The staff and residents of Win- ship declared 4982-83 the Last Before the Blast be- cause Winship was scheduled to be torn down for the construction of the new student center. The 4982-83 residents painted their rooms and all those things per- manent. that aren't allowed in other dorms. However, Winship survived the summer. The plans call for it to be torn down in January, but one never knows with Win- ship. 20 f Winship -5, Lrg '. ?'!5 ,- li , fra 'E y, Q i , 2 V i .VQMA b a ww... , --ff ll l Epstein . jT1Ff,.'

Viva La Culture!! Culture Lives At The lvternartonal Culture Festival April 47, loss GCI' Mom, I just got back from the International Festival and it was delicious. lt was like entering a totally new world. White Hall was transformed into a sample of the world! It was wonderful. Dean Crawford Cfrom Campus Lifej would know how many festivals the International Students have had, but Sam Schwartz was in chrage of it this year. He's a really, cool guy Qnot to mention kinda cute - in his own wayj. Anyway, I entered White Hall and my mind was just totally overwhelmed. I scarcely recognized the site of so many classrooms where I have so many classes. Tables lined the walls and I literally walked around the world QKorea to the right - Mexico on the left - China, straight aheadlj. Not only that, but most of the students dressed in their native costumes. One guy, Anand Mah- tani, asked me to wear a sari - I politely declined. I stuffed myself on all kinds of delicious foodstuffs lovingly prepared by the international students. My favorites were Korea, China, Pakistan, Mexico, Spain, France, India Spaced throughout the day were these cute shows. There was a karate demonstration, and a sword demon- stration by some students from China: some American Indians from Oklahoma fl believej were there, trying to get support for their tribe. They did several native dances - the little Indians were adorable. There were also some Columbian dances. and some films and Gillian Goddard, my SA, and Georgia Popplewell were excel- lent: They did some really cute dances from Trinidad and they sang. My favorite song was Drunk and DisorderIy . Not that I ever am, mind you. Anyway, the festival was terrific. Classes are okay, sort of. After I got back from the festival, though, I was totally unable to study until after I gave you a brief view of the real world . l'll call you collect next weekend. Love always, Kara QYour daughter - remember? The one with glasses? Kinda short ...Q - Kara O. Bryant 22flnternational Festival Garter 8 'TW' issues . Va.-bv fa, wav' .
