m a g i n C ome things never change. Rain fell during Homecoming, imagine that. The bridge was once again an issue, as it was closed to traffic because of its poor structural condition. Talk of closing Roberta was being dis- cussed, even though the administration said it was just a rumor. Fashion and entertainment made the full circle back from the ' 50s and ' 60s. We wore paisleys, boxer shorts and cut our hair short. We rocked to the Monkees, Beach Boys and heard early rock ' n ' roll tunes from soundtracks like Stand By Me and Peggy Sue Got Married. To imagine was everything at North- west. Whether it was wrestling in Jello, lay- ing computer lines or protesting the bridge and bus route closures — we were in the midst of change — for better or worse.. .Im- agine That. a t 6 Opening

Cruising Along Many students ride bicycles for en- joyment.

Once again there was academic reorganization as the schools and colleges were whittled to four. The dream of a computer in every dorm room finally became reali- ty but work crew had to tear up Missou- ri ' s Most Beautiful Campus to lay wires. Change also took place in Maryville with the re-opening of The Hitching Post and the opening of the Charter Oaks Restau- rant alongside the new Best Western University Inn. Yesterdays converted to a country-western bar, so the college crowd moved to The Power Station and The Palms. Some unimaginable dreams may have seemed like bad dreams to some of us. The drinking age in Iowa was changed, cutting down on roadtrips to Clarinda. Dorms received new washers and dryers but we had to have tokens to use them and the front desk never seemed to have enough. Parking was increased on cam- pus but on the wrong side, imagine that. A new lot was built on the west side of Col- lege Park but parking problems persisted on the east side of campus. Opening 5
