The campus, while an integral part of college life, is not the only factor contributing to our educational experience. Therefore, the surrounding areas must be taken mto account when measuring growth. No, the rest of the world did not stand still during our four years at St. Michael ' s. The Winooski today is much altered from the small town we encountered tour years ago. Many a nights ended with a walk over the bridge, through the town and up the hill towards home. Now these walks are more enjoyable due to the metamorphosis which has taken place. 11

The alteration of the mandatory SAGA meal plan, while a small change in itself, has forced students to face yet another step on the road to adulthood. For many, the responsibility of money management has become a reality. The lesson learned stated simply is - if you spend your money you can ' t buy food, and if you can not buy food, you don ' t eat. The result, as off-campus dwellers learned sooner than on campus residents, is a few lost pounds and a few more salads. But a general concensus would find the majority of students opting to stay off the meal plan. 10

Although there is as yet no dome covering Winooski, the landscape is much different than it was four years ago. The Winooski Block restoration turned an eyesore into a quaint block, reminiscent of an age past. The Champlain Mill has served manv purposes. In addition to generating business and creating jobs, it has given students a new reason to visit Winooski. Now, rather than stopping in Winooski just to go to the bank, students can browse in the many shops or have a meal overlooking the river. Not to be outdone by Winooski, Burlington has undergone quite a few changes also. Students observed the gradual change, which was begun in 1980. 12
