The varieties of pizza were sold by the slice, and had to be ordered several days in advance. The pizza was served immediately following the Harrison- burg football game.

A wave of shock hit Lexington when it was announced that actress Liz Taylor would be arriving here with her fiance, John Warner. Mr. Warner was to make a Founder ' s Day speech at VMI, but Ms. Taylor ' s visit brought as much, if not more excitement.
