Gone With The West In singing Changes. I ' m moving out. and . .the walls come tumblin ' down, Bowie. Joel, and Meilencamp must have been referring to Wynnewood Towers. To say the least, this year at the ivory towers has been one of changes. For instance, the 1986-87 residents of Wynnewood form a more diverse crowd than ever. Aiso, as many freshmen now live in the towers as in Butler and Ham- merman. But the most drastic change occurred halfway through the year when Loyola learned that the brickwork had shifted such that the West Tower was deemed unsafe for occupancy, All nine floors had to be evacuated by March 8. The West Tower waifs were relocated into Charleston, East Side, and open spaces throughout campus. It was a semester of confusion. There was a lot of paper work for students and Residence Life, a lot of moving for the Physical Plant, and general craziness. One student received twice as much furniture as he left the West Tower with. Students chose their places of reloca- tion. Approximately fifty students moved either to off-campus apartments or home. One new commuter commen- ted, I love my ' new roommates ' but Mom and Dad just don ' t party like the guys. Other students who remained on campus did have to go through the trouble of relocating, but most of them benefitfed from the opportunity to live with new people. Some of these new roommate groups have reassigned together for the fall. i Although the situation has not been good, most students have really worked to make the best of it. After the bricks ' and some emotions were torn down, : both are now being built up again. | When the brickwork is completed, the | west residences promise to be better ’ than ever.
