A piece of your Past... Going to class . . . blind dates . . . writing papers . . . partying on weekends . . . looking for mail . . . practical jokes . . . going to meetings . . . complaining about too much work . . . popcorn parties . . . washing clothes . . . This could be Agnes Scott at any time from the 1940 ' s up to the present. The basic style of life here has not changed much. A group of over 500 girls in their late teens to early twenties usually tend to have the same general habits and interests. So how will the year 1978-79 be distinguished from others? The attitude of college students in the late 70 ' s was one of concern for the future. At Scott, more and more students were intending to begin a career or attend graduate school after graduation. A large number of seniors took advantage of resume ' and interview workshops sponsored by the Career Planning Office. Many students were interested in becoming and remaining physically fit. The newest fad was running or jogging. At all hours of the day and night, Scotties could be seen circling the basketball court, the hockey field, or the campus. Of course, most students were concerned with more than their health and careers. After all, who could or would forget the weekend? TGIF parties expanded onto the grass in front of the Hub, indicating the growing popularity of beer parties on campus. Those who could not wait for Friday began celebrating as early as Wednesday or Thursday night with trips to PJ ' s or Moe ' s and Joe ' s. Saturday night was the time for disco parties on campus, the result of a dance craze that topped even beach music. 11 Changes

Just a few years ago, Dorm Councils had become lax and enforced few rules, there were no men in the dorms, the Board of Student Activities did little other than approve beer parties, and not many people were aware of the Student Government Committees on campus. However, the past two years have shown a change in our student government. The force compelling this renewed activity came mainly from the leaders of the various boards and committees, and was supported by student interest in effective government. Many changes had been coming about gradually. Representative Council had worked on various RC ' s since 1976-77 concerning the alcoholic beverage policy. Last spring Rep came up with a bill providing for a special room in each dorm where students could store and drink alcoholic beverages. This fall, Rep gave preliminary approval to an RC that extended parietals to Saturday afternoons. Last year the Library Committee persuaded the Library to extend its hours from 10:30 to 11:45 pm each quarter during the last week of classes. After spring elections in 1977, Interdorm and Dorm Councils worked together to revise penalties and to encourage enforcement of rules. Workshops were held to train Dorm Council members to work effectively with other students on their halls. At the same time, the Board of Student Activities (BSA) was being re-evaluated. The size was cut down to a core group which evaluated all the boards on campus. Their conclusions helped to define and revitaHze other groups governing the student body. 12 Changes
