Of course, there were some changes in the usual format. Stu- dents managed to keep the CIA from recruiting on campus, there was a whale beached in Dunn Meadow, Mick jagger and The Stones made an appear- ance and Leon Varjian left town. To most people it seemed like a short year; time flies when you ' re having Did you know that Dunn Meadow could have been a lake, or that for a time in the 1800s the student body was required to attend chapel seven days a week? The history of Indiana University is made up of not only major miles- tones, but also many lesser-known facts such as these. Seventy-six of these great (and not so great) events, places, and people that are a part of lU ' s histo- ry provide fun things to know and tell your friends about the development of IU. Winning the NCAA championship is a hard act to follow. Nevertheless, IU offered a variety of athletics for sports fans this year. From fencing to football — something for the little bit of jock in all of us. Concert enthusiasts were treated to the Rolling Stones, the Who, Rod Stewart, Chicago and Carole King. Not only does IU have international en- tertainment; Bloomington ' s restaurants range from those with foreign flavor to your ail-American Big Mac. A m i ss

2 r - 013S72 At IU it would be difficult not to find something to satisfy everyone. If you ' re into student government, there ' s IUSA or the Union Board. If you like to flex your muscles when taking a break from the books, there ' s a variety of clubs such as the Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes. Classes also differ greatly and this year, we ' ve highlighted some of the more unusual courses. Besides clubs and classes, IU students have an assort- ment of services available to them for everything from legal to medical prob- lems. It ' s unrealistic to think of your home as your castle when the faucets drip, the door won ' t lock and you call your decor Basic Barbarian. If apartment living is too much of a responsibility (i.e. you can ' t handle the dirt), you can live in a dorm or in a Greek House. There are several of both on this cam- pus, and it just depends on where you ' re most satisfied. Of course no matter where you live on campus its hard to alienate yourself from Bloom- ington — and Kirkwood Ave. has a little bit of everything that ' s Bloomington on it. From the class of 1976 to the class of 1980, it was a year full of changes and new opportunities. For the freshman it was a time of new experiences and ad- ded pressures. For the sophomores, it was a thankful sigh of relief that all of those Intro classes were finally over. For the Juniors it was a year of the first legal drink and for the class of 1976 it was the rude awakening of the real world knocking at the door.
