It was true that top quality academics and faculty. and a diverse social atmosphere went a long wav toward making the college experience uni ue and valuable. But much more t ian this, t ie people made the College. Freshman Dan White observed that there are so many hel ful people around. lt didn't take long for me to ackjust because ofthe help and the supportive atmosphere. Sophomore Ellen Wente was equally impressed by the people. She found them generally really friendly and observed that she hardly ever crossed campus without sayin hi to if 5. .4 -'Fw WH' a U' its someone.

I N T E R V I E W The people who wanted to be left alone 0 xltlgillllll On Th zirsday, jan nary 20 at 1:15 a.m., Andy Kahl ulled the alarm. Two hours later, students in small zuddles stood outside as thiek layers of ire grew on trees and sidewalks. During the night and throughout the next day, Flat Hat reporters, idewater eameramen, Riehmond Tinzes-Dispateh representatiifes, and eozintless photographers swarmed the latest citadel ofsensationalism:jeferson Hall and its former residents. The smoke died down, and so did the attention. Within a week, students stopped gawking at the rabble. Reporters turned to new events. The surge oflofal business Contributions and stzident elothes donations tapered off H owezier, one fart remained, and will remain, in the lives ofl 83 freshmen and resident assistants: their first home at William and Mary, and most of their personal lielongin s, were gone. Allowing time or umm to settle, I visited room 304 of The Commonwealth Inn. Sitting on thefloor, beds. and ehairs and having a few beers and tootsie rolls, Mark Constantine, Bob Coghill. M arty C ross, Nlartha Droge, j oh n J ones, Anoiish Kevorkian, Mike Raiiseh, and Kathy S iiehenshi talked about what reloration and adaptation meant to them. It was two weeks after the fi re. Q: What were your emotions that night, when you learned that the dorm eould not be sazfed ow do they eompare with yozirfeelings now? Kathy: That night all I could keep thinking was that I had to finish reading this book for an I 1:00 class. I really had my mind set on going to classes. When I realized that I had to start worrying about clothes and insurance forms, I began to get a grip of the situation. Martha: At 4:00 a.m. I watched outside a window of Chandler as the roof of jefferson went up in fIames. When I thought this was really a big thing. In a way I guess I felt detached. When I saw Mark's room o, it hit me. I guess because it was a physical thingt at I knew would never be there again. Now I'm a little disoriented. The sadness is gone, but I don't really feel at home yet. Alirhael: My roommate and I had the first rooms to go. I fuess I took it rather matter-of-factly when I hearcl' the chainsaw and saw the water hoses through what used to be my window. My loft. stereo, and books were gone: it was a simple matter. But now. l feel the lossimore. for both me and my friends. The irreplaceable things hurt alot. john: That night it wasgiust something that had to
