In years past, students came and went. It seemed as if the university and Oxford were conStantly the same. But that wasnlt always the case. 1980-81 was a year in which many areas of student life saw a shift in focus. . Studentls opinions changed with the times and the issues. The draft registration, the Iranian crisis and the national election all brought students to voice their opinions and to be heard. The liquor law brought possibly the biggest change to the students out- look on Oxford. Instead of driving to Cincinnati, students remained in Ox- ford where they could buy liquor by the glass. The seniors finally had a place of their own in Lottie Moonis Underground, the only 21-and-over bar. Associated Student Government brought a lawsuit against the univer- sity and its policy on the no-car rule after a year of discussions brought no changes. Ronald Reagan became president and the entire country began to swing to a conservative outlook. As Phillip Shriver worked through ' his final year as President of Miami University, cl students continually honored him for his 16 outstanding years of service. ' As the year ended and students looked around the campus, they dis- covered that Changes had taken place and that Miami University was shift- t ing focus. - Lisa Phillips , Student Life 9
