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

During MDA week, there was something going on every day to help raise money for MDA. It started with a raffle done by the In- ternational Relations Club. There was a Bake sale followed by a special MDA night in the pub which featured con- tests in cake walking, pie-bidding, bub- ble-gum blowing and bobbing for ap- 24 Student Life — MDA Bloodmobile Checking the vital signs. pies. The next night, there was a facul- ty-student basketball game sponsored by the Cheerleaders and that same night the Foreign Language Clubs had an international night in the pub. On October 5, the Speech Pathology Club had perhaps the most outrageous event, a car smash. The fine piece of hulking machinery was parked in Jef- ferson square, and for fifty-cents you could have one shot at it with a sledge- hammer. That night our fine auto was set afire by vandals and was not sal- vagable after all. The sixth annual Su- per Dance and a Hair-Cut-a-Thon round- ed out the week. All proceeds were don- ated to the Muscular Dystrophy Asso- ciation. Another event that attracted cam- pus wide support was the blood drive. This event was greatly appreciated by all and most found it very rewarding to be giving blood.
