1980 a time to review the events and changes of the 70 ' s with an understand- ing of how they will affect the way we approach the problems of the 80 ' s. A new University President took the helm in January, and faced a campus which is in some ways different from, and yet the same, as the cam pus of 1970. Perhaps the greatest changes have been social ones. Co-ed dorms, houses, and apartments are now the rule, not the exception. Drug use increased through- out the decade, and sexual attitudes were changed by the sexual revolution. The Greek system has seen a rebirth in the past few years, gaining both houses and members from its low point in the early 70 ' s. The women ' s movement has been felt here as well, as women move into more non-traditional roles. Academic changes have also touched the U. The center of academic activity, formerly Central Campus, has shifted to North Campus for those in Art, Archi- tecture, Music, and some fields of Engi- neering. Student involvement on the fac- ulty committees which dictate policy has increased, though the debate continues to rage over whether that input is seri- ously considered. The events of the ' 70 ' s have influenced both life and policies at U-M: The Black Action Movement (BAM) (con ' t on page 5) Burton Tower, named for University President Marion Burton, houses the University Musical So- ciety offices and the carillon.
