AYLAND Arch is Wriston Quadrangle's of- ficial portal. Freshman year, when rushing began, it was an inscrutable tunnel to society's complex essence. Most of us were plumb scared that winter evening when rushing began. The fra- ternity patios grinned benignly at each hesitant tunneler; making new friends is a four year journey at Brown. Very late at night, if we strayed too long coming back from Wheaton or downtown, we encountered Wayland Arch involuntarily. We went through there every morning, too. From the refectory, the tower clock always read 8:47 A.M. We raced through that tiny cave and blinked in the morning sunshine outside; nine o'clocks and sunrise will happen forever. In the afternoon the rich aroma of chocolate covered or powdered doughnuts caught us on our tired way back from the lab. Those big green vending machines stand in front of that window like a final exam on a little brown desk. The campus cop across the corridor isn't half as easy to spot, especially if you're locked out of your room. Brown's police power and Dean Hill's office on the other side of the arch aren't synony- mous, but a lot of times we couldn't tell them apart. Usually we were lucky and just had to pay for a new room key or a parking fine. Occasionally our luck ran thin, and we stood on the carpet and ar- gued how childish parietal rules are. That big clock on the tower changed whenever we turned our back; particularly right after dinner in the spring. College is a time for study and a time for growing.

HE computer doesn't grow; it matured quickly on the assembly line. The computing center doesn't look like the rest of Brown; so maybe it's a good thing it sits a ways off on the East Side. Clean, rust red brick isn't new to Brown now- adays. The computing center's striking glass edifice is. The I.LB.M 7070 and the typewriters up in the Recorder's office don't make mistakes, but the people who work them do. It's impressive to get your mistake on an I.B.M. printed card. We're trapped in the machine age. Even the English de- partment delivers its grades into the computer technicians ungreased palms. The computer does a lot of work for the engineers besides printing grade cards and untangling course registrations. It digests the data of a hundred research projects and extends the usefulness of innumerable less sophis- ticated machines. Still, they say its thinking heart doesn't use grease. Machines at Brown aren't what they used to be.
