It Happened One Year Hi nee upon a time there was a small liberal arts college in Allentown, Pennsylvania. And at that college there lived 1500 boys and girls who were working very hard to prepare themselves for that elusive entity called the “Real World.” The truth of the matter was that our little world of Muhlenberg College, however isolated it may have been, seemed quite real while we were there — with campus issues often taking precedence over the trivial occurences of the outside world. Still, that world kept turning (faster than we could keep up with it) and some of its events even paralleled our own. Imagine that!! We witnessed the furvor of political conventions and Ronald Reagan’s re-election, making him the first president to achieve that distinction since 1972. However, the 1984 election created a bigger first for American women as Geraldine Ferraro became the Democrats vice-presidential candidate. Meanwhile . . . Muhlenberg women were busy making history of their own as three sororities successful- ly completed their colonization period to be installed as active chapters in the fall. So too, while aspiring surgeons spent countless hours in Muhlenberg labs with dissections, William Schroeder became the second recipient of an artificial heart. In music, Michael Jackson’s Thriller lp finally faded into the background and old favorties like Phil Collins and Bruce Springsteen just seemed to get better and better, playing to sellout crowds across the country. Irish sensation U2 also completed a highly successful tour while, right here at ’Berg, Concert Committee brought us the Psycodelic Furs and the Fixx. Excitement ran high when the Villanova Wildcats won the NCAA basketball title. Basketball fever was felt at Muhlehberg, too, when the Mules defeated Moravian to advance to the MAC playoffs. (Meanwhile, a group of enthusiastic Mule fans were lost on a schoolbus somewhere in Delaware.)
