73. 5. Q 43: Photo by Uil'lI0l'l IDEEPERI ow enrolhnent was once again a problem as last year's ad- ministrative upheavals had taken their toll during vital recruiting periods. But, the feeling and spirit on campus was good as many of us felt that the quality of students was better than it had been in several years. The campus also looked and functioned better as the reorganized maintenance department worked hard to repaint and repair everything they could get their hands on. A small parking lot was added beside Peter's Science Hall taken from space formerly occupied by King Gym, which bumt down the year before. The social scene also changed in Salina as the drinking age in Kansas was changed to twenty-one, causing many clubs to close down or to become non-alcoholic. This left virtually no place to go. Until Ranger's, formerly a Country and Westem club started altemating dance sets of rock and country. This attracted the college crowd, including freshmen with fake I.D.'s in hand, who flocked there making it the most popular night spot in town. Ranger's also provided part-tirne jobs for many KW students. Each of us changed in different ways at Wesleyan, perhaps each of us entered a deeper shade of our lives as we adjusted to college life, matured, decided on a major, came one step closer to graduation or finally made it. We all hoped we would be prepared for the next shade of our lives.

The grounds were upgraded by the summer maintenance crew during some very hot summer days, as they trimmed the overgrown lilac bushes and removed other overgrown shrubs and trees from around Memorial Library. Classical theatre returned to our stage after a long absence, in the form of the 18th Century comedy, She Stoops to Conquer. STUCO bought new furniture for the Student Center which also was re-wallpapered. The lobby of New Men's Dorm was remodeled and also recieved new fumiture. We also saw the first election of a Mr. Wesleyan to reign with the traditional Miss Wesleyan. The changed G.P.A. requirements for Homecoming and Sweetheart elections were also put into effect. We saw a shade of change in the Wesleyan community and many of us felt it was a positive one. 12 She Stoops Fitzpatrick auditorium was the scene of She Stoops to Conquer, a classic comedy, challenging students' vocab- ularies. 42 Graduation The class of 1988 celebrates four or five for six...J years of hard work, as they march across the stage in Sams Chapel and out into the 'real world.' ls H ADEl
