W J 7 ' 0 the ocean breezes blov in the sun, red so long age waves, blown by the ;e tide until we meet aga again. earn, a vision, a stc yet to be told. We are a theme, love was the writer red long ago. You were the sea and I was a river flowing to you. Knowing that you might still remember red long ago. You were my wings for I was just learning to fly. Red was the sky, love was the reason we went to high. We shared the joy now but, we feel the pain. Love was the valley we lost our way in red long ago |||| Sand, the ocean breezes blow- Red in the sun, red so long ago Memories of silver, heartaches of gold These are the treasures of red so long ago (long ago, long ago) Oooo you were the sea and I was a river flowing to you Knowing that you might still remember red long ago c 1976 Dawnbreaker Music Leslie Ann Gary Music Used by permission only.

A LOOK AT 1977 Numerous chan ges occured at Man- chester College in 1977, most of them for the good. Among these changes were major advancements in the new auditorium; new options for food ser- vice; a change in convocation require- ments plus a new name of Values, Ideas, and the Arts; the alternate visi- tation program was expanded by in- creasing the number of hours to noon to 1 1pm weekdays, and noon to 1 :30 am Fridays and Saturdays, it was also adopted by all dorms; the biggest change by far occured in the curricu- lum. Most of these changes were widely accepted and approved by all. But soon the problems began. The Union started missing many more than the usual amount of utensils; a lack of stu- dent participation was noted in many places because students could not keep up with their new work loads. Profs were asked to cut down on as- signments to help the students out. Be- cause of new scheduling students were taking anywhere from 5 to 8 classes in- stead of the customary 4. Classes met only 3 times per week yet professors were requiring the same amount of work to be done. The students found themselves under an unbearable load and many began to skip to catch up but that only managed to put them further behind. Finally a forum was set up for the people to voice their views; many came to talk, listen, and agree. The adminsitration agreed to study the problem further but this did not help the many who found the ends not worth the means so they transfered or dropped out not to re- turn.
