ww Y Blevins It soon became apparent that 1989 would be . . . A Year Of Changes The times they are a changin ' was the catch-all phrase for 1988-89. Change was evident in every aspect of student life on campus. Growth came as no surprise to the students, faculty and admin- istration. We all knew we were going places. Everyone was talking about us — we were no longer little JMU. JMU became an even more popular choice for incoming freshmen but choices for hous- ing those freshmen were limited. Overcrowd- ing was a problem that plauged freshmen. Occupancy in some Village suites increased from the usual six to seven and once again; study lounges were converted to dorm rooms. The problem became so severe that the sa- cred freshmen female institution. Eagle Hall, housed male residents on the top floor for the first time in the dorm ' s history. Change was evident in the classrooms as well as the dorms. Many classes experienced an increase in enrollemnt. Underclassmen were forced to learn the delicate art of con- vincing professors of their dire need for over- rides for General Studies classes. Hopefully the upperclassmen who put off taking these classes until their junior and senior years did not pass on the art of procrastination as well. BEQinniriQS 3
