Dormitories Dorm living was the only way to fly, according to the 9,600 students who lived there. Perhaps second onlv to any other wav they could think of. But there will always be gripers among us. This was a year of change for the dormitory system. Trees Center, the old converted Army barracks (remember the old joke — that the University bought Trees from the Army for $1, and got gypped on the deal?) was finally closed to iindergrads. Wells Quad became grad hous- ing and faculty office space. Briscoe Quad, the Stadium-view Hilton opened to mixed reviews on the campus ' near north side. Forest Quad got halfway open, then changed its mind and housed only girls. But some things never change. Wright Quad was still the Zoo. Dormitories evidently drive people to do strange things. Like girls danghng containers from the upper stories in hopes of hooking a pizza. Like the time the guys on Smith III papered counselor Bob Eastburg in — from the outside, with wadded newsprint si. feet deep in the hallway. Like the number of telescopes in Wright that point toward Willkie. Living in the dorms was almost as neat as three consecutive nights of bedchecks. 28

And along with Batman came Trivia. Trivia is a game plaved hv two or more in which one plaver asks a question whose answer is a totally obscure, worthless bit of information, like, Who were Hopalong Cassidv ' s two sidekicks? ( Luckv and California, just so it won ' t keep you awake.) Tri ia had fonnerly been the exclusive prop- erty of professors making out Final Exams, but it caught on big with the students, to the point that one dorm had a Tri ia Bowl and a marathon game ran (off and on) for days in the Daily Student city room. When was the gargoyle set atop historic Max- well Hall? This is not a true Trivia question, be- cause the answer very allegorical, filled with deep meanings, and probably not too factual. Nevertheless . . . Let ' s create a gargoyle atop historic Maxwell Hall, the I.U. architect said one day. Justifying such an imaginative departure from the rest of the conservative campus design was something of a problem. But it was met beautifully. A dis- tinctive I.U. was carved in the beast ' s chest. I.U. has the only gargoyle in existence that is a letterman. This is Indiana and how it grew.
