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

year when changes came in abundance he resignation of a presi- dent and a controversial cut of the sports pro- gram could account for as much alteration as anyone had seen in some time. But, 1983-84 was a year when changes came in abundance. And the changes weren't lim- ited to the administrative world of james Blair or the Brafferton, a promised tuition raise affected everyone's pocketg as did the problem of faculty salaries. Even if the year had seen only a slight increase in salaries it was - at least - a beginning. TOP: Linda Wood, William and Mary 's first female dnmi major, conducts during had- time.
