Parties I'm told that when Easters was last held in Mad Bowl, you couldn't find grain anywhere near Char- lottesville days before that fateful Sunday. In a way, it's a shame that Easters will no longer take place in the Bowl, for it was the ultimate manifestation of the common denominator ibesides knowledgei of this school - PARTY. That's a great pair - Drunkeness and Academia, Sot and Scholar. BoozeuLifeblood of a University.The story of a stu- dent and his bottle of bourbon tand gin and vodka and grain, ad nauseumi. Some pretty vivid memories remain tsutprisinglyi. I'll never forget Bryan leaning against the porch at SPE - it was our first year - getting sick, and Flor- ence, his date, chastising me as I made fun of him. True to the cliche, he had the last laugh when about two weeks later he walked by ttheni 52 Lambeth. There I sat tand sometimes law puking at the passers- by. We all have had our nights. But those are extremes - usually it's just a release. The state enjoys the revenue, the school takes advan- tage of the reputation tit is a recruiting mob and the students enjoy the good time. Cheers.

The University of Virginia is a community whose major purpose is the pursuit of academia; it is the act of learn- ing embodied in an institution. People, whether students or faculty, make up the social network, their diversity shadowed in the collective focus on knowledge. But certain traces ofthe differences in origins and interests survive and emerge in non-academi- cal as well as academic areas, comprising an important part of this transitional stage in the individual's life. Learning to function as a competent individual in today's world of international focus requires that each of us assimilate as much basic information in all fields before attempting to solve the problems of our survival. In addition to proficiency in any one of the definable fields of knowledge, the growth of the mind in understanding human nature is essential. Grasping the concepts of toler- ance and appreciation of all viewpoints, even though they may differ from one's own, is of equal importance with mastering the differential equations of the Sileucid Empire. Schools of Commerce, Engineering, and Arts and Sciences merge in the student body. It is a body indeed, striving for the common goal of knowledge. Unfortunately, even the University has succumbed to the lure of the material world; individuals often choose only those subjects of study which will aid their attempts to become wealthy. Fields of learning which were honorably studied for centuries are growing unpopular, or rather unprofitable
