WHEREVER THERE ' S A QUIET PLACE . . . Anywhere you look on campus there are people studying. It could be at Seacobeck in the morning, under a tree aroun d Ball Circle in the afternoon, or at the end of the hall in the evening. Mary Washington has a few places that are, however away from the throngs of people. Places like the DuPont Col- onnades, The Battleground, or in the Amphitheater surrounded by the ivy can be transformed into your own pri- vate niche. There are still one or two places around campus left undisco- vered but to a fortunate few. With the enrollment increasing each year, you would think that space would be tight, especially trying to find a place all to oneself, but actually it isn ' t. Even though there are more people here than ever before it seems that Marye ' s Hilltop abounds with never ending nooks and crannies, here and there, which can become your own special place to call yours. All you have to do is look and you can find it. Here at MWC, we study on walls in line at Seacobeck 22 Student Life — Studying

It is unique! That is the only descrip- tion that can be made of MWC ' s social life. Many complain about Dead-Fred and the lack of activity but let ' s look at what we do have. We are forty to fifty minutes from D.C. (Georgetown, the city of Washington) and Richmond (Shockoe Slip, the Fan, Downtown Richmond). The Pool Room is always entertaining whether you are there for the music, friends, or the beer — then there are the times that you end up the entertainment. Jefferson, Framar, Hamlet, Madison Parties, just to name a few resident hall parties, the keggers. Ball Circle, Jefferson Square, the C Shop, and Goolrick Hall gave us a break from academic. Other than entertain- ment, the daily occurances add so much to our life. Dorms are all impor- tant to our social self. Inside the Ivy tries to capture the time and feeling of the true student life at Mary Washing- ton College 1985. As the social life changes, the ivy that graces our cam- pus remains green and flourishing. It has seen and participated in many years of student life and this year is no different. So browze through the pages of this section and hopefully the faces and events will continue to be vivid re- minders of life as we saw it in the Fall 1984 and Spring 1985. Student Life — Divider 21
