The Davidson Renaissance of bricks were made into new walkways .ill over campus, while the perking lot behind Cannon. Sentelle and Duke dorms wee tumed into ,i lush lawn. A new parking lot sprung up near Knox and Irwin dorms, but a shortage of parking spaces persisted. Archer ' s Service Station kept busy in the fill towing illegally-parked cars. The weather at Davidson lived up to its reputation of being unpredict- able. A mild fall led into a mild winter, but a frigid spring halted in, my outdoor activities. Students awoke to several inches of snow on March 24. the first day of the S.G.A. Admissions Weekend. Nevertheless, the Lake Campus remained a major attraction for students on spring after- noons. In 1982-83 students witnessed many changes at Davidson. At the end of the year the College stood on the threshold of a new era. Many traditions of years past — the 10 a.m. post office trek, required chapel, restrictions on dating and drinking — have either faded or disap- peared. Other institutions — the Honor Code, Chalmers Davidson. Big Weekends, Hattie ' s Night, Freshman Orientation — linger on. The loss of administrators such as Spencer and Union Director C. Shaw Smith will certainly affect the school. Yet Davidson will sur- vive as it has done for nearly 150 years. Accomplishments of the past have established the foundation for a strong future. As poet Philip James Bailey wrote, however, It is much less what we do than what we think, which fits us for the future. — Jim Reese PROMOTING HARMONY OF BODY AND MIND, Davidson encourages students to keep a healthy perspective on their studies.
