As one alumna put it, 1983- 84 was a year when William and Mary had begun to learn how to change. It didn't come in the form of new buildings - al- though the Muscarelle, glowing in the night, did sig- nal a shift in architectural philosophy. It didn't even seem all that obvious in some of the ways that it took shape. Nonetheless, the year saw William and Mary quietly but most certainly changing. The resignation of Tom Graves was definitely a sign of some transformation. Dr. Graves appeared tired and much older than fourteen years ago, when he ushered in the changes of the l970's. It was an era endingg one which saw William and Mary grow, but one which ended with the future uncertain. OPPOSITE: Glow!

In- stead of echoing the sounds of fans' disgruntlement, the walls reverberated with the celebration of a tradition brokeng the Tribe had had its first winning football sea- son in five years. But, amid the champagne and celebration, no one had any idea that only three months would pass before football's great expense would be questioned again. February came and six sports were gone. The ad- ministration and athletic de- partments had opted for doing away with: men's swimming, women's golf, men's and women's fencing, men's lacrosse, and rifleryg instead of cutting down on the bigger s orts. The cuts didnt come with- out disagreement thoughg A winter's rain storm on the morning of Feb- ruary 4th didn't -stop stu- dents from rallying at Barks- dale Field in protest of the decisiong Banners proclaim- ing Support Every Sport hung from the railings at home basketball gamesg Stu- dents liaisons to the Board of Visitors lobbyed for sup- port while the Flat Hal and the local newspapers ran editorials in favor of the six sports. By the end of the year, the sports were reinstated, and the students had proven that they could give a damn about something besides academics. Beginnings 15
