Very seldom did a day go by that my mood didn't change. I had this nagging fear that I might flunk a course for somethingj so I kept on trying even though it seemed impossi- ble and unbearable. Besides wondering about my grades, I was in suspense about whether the basketball team would win, whether I would get caught in the hall without a pass, and whether I could make it to class before the bell rang.

As the familiar black top drive was torn up and filled in, a cement drive at the bot- tom ofthe hill, complete with a stop light, emerged. As with any change, however, it was ac- companied by growing pains. Early morning tardy courts were filled with angry students who had been caught up in traffic jams caused by the one-way traffic on the front drive. Rain and snow proved to be enemies of students as they trudged through the mud, or their cars slid around the too sharp turn at the north end of the building. Confusion was still abundant after the construction was completedg it was hard to get used to all the different traffic directions. Perhaps the chaos outside reflected some of what was going on inside . . . perhaps IIOI .... bit, A ilu. 4 'QC V , 411' ,.f .f 3:1 ., - ...,..... - TRAFFIC BECAME hazardous again this year Arlington's pavement as the first snow of the left us with a Winter Wonderland.
