Change of pace Homework, dating, visits to downtown night clubs and working for local mer- chants became part of the FSC ' s stu- dent ' s life. As the semester grew, students found themselves sitting on the Ballroom floor listening to a two and one-half hour Harry Chapin concert. The downtown and Tygart Valley the- aters provided a chance for Fairmont Staters to relax while others headed for the Pizza Pub for an evening with friends. Male students born between 1960 and 1962 headed for area post offices as they registered for a possible draft. Fairmont was also faced with a possi- ble housing problem where only three people could live in an apartment and landlords were to provide off the street parking, but City Council delayed passing the act. Renovations caused havoc for a while on campus as cement trucks sometimes occupied the road in front of Wallman Hall and its parking lot. Buildings received new names in silver letters while upperclassmen once again learned new names for the former Lan- guage Commerce and Fine Arts Build- ings and North Hall dorm. School was once again in session and students moved into the new year with a variety of changes and surprises. Two coeds walk down the steps that lead into the library ' s arcade during the tirst summer term. 6 Student Life
