IH! CJ Im Q Luujithin the William and Mary community, the word home' brought several images to mind. To some students, home was a sin gle dorm room that served as liv- ing room, bedroom, study, and kitchen. To others, it was a small house or building shared with others of common interest, commitment, or friendship. To still others, it was an apartment that actually possessed some of the comforts of home. But what- ever the situal.iJn, home at Wil- liam and Mary was an opportunity for the individual student to create a personal lifestyle. As part of this home environ- ment the College supplied a wide variety of services. For exam- ple, a school cafeteria was a- vailable for those who had no inclination to cook or pay the high prices of restaurants. And for those who felt adventurous enough to cook or eat out, a bus service ran to the nearest shop- ping center, where stores and restaurants were located. For the student then, William and Mary was a small self-con- tained community offering many different living arrangements, lifestyles, and services. Un- fortunately though, times were changing. Housing was becoming scarce and the cost of special services was climbing. The question was, would William and Mary be able to resist this change?

Or the year before that. Or the year before that. Well, maybe a few distinc- tions were to be found in the sudden craze of toga parties on weekends, the transformation of Chandler and Taliferro, the ex- citement of Liz Taylor Warner's appearance on campus, and the community-wide mobilization of energies and talents to promote the Campaign for the College. But beyond these changes and occasional distractions, student - x life was characterized by on- going struggles with classes, diets and roommates, endless lines at the caf, the post office, and the Bookstoreg and the ever- present tourists to guide, di- rect, and enlighten. While all students were plagued with such problems and annoy- ances, each one still discovered that William and Mary offered him a unique, new opportunity to live his life in the style he chose, be it permanent residence on Swem Third. Floor, faithful attendance at the Pub each Wed- nesday night, or a balanced mix- ture of the two. s 4 W 5215. 4 ' I f 'r , I., 1 H..-.. ,: 3 .of , -4 -'-,xgf K ..,,, ,lqurgw vf.h 'A4?xlul- ..f 4 .-Q . 4 . .f .,.
