8x'Opening heard. ' Openings and closings were also common-place at UT. The much her- alded mini-courses were well received by students and faculty despite the fact that the program was new. UT Hunter Hills was not so lucky. The Gatlinburg-based theater was closed indefinitely because of lack of funds. ' The infamous Maltese Falcon bar met the same fate. Increased rental space forced the owner of the UT drinking landmark to pull up his stakes and relocate. Weather and energy also made the news for the year. An unusually harsh winter coupled with the longest nation- wide Coal strike ever, forced UT to make sacrifices. Temperatures were lowered somewhat and hallways took on a much darker appearance. Decisions, decisions. Unending deciv sions, unending changes, unending crossroads. Page 8, top right: Llama and student get to- gether tor thekopening of the Hess Hal! rese taurant, uThe Zoo.

Moving in, to most students, signifies extra-crowded parking lots, lines for eleva- tors, waiting lists for luggage carts, and misery. Since there are only a few days to move in, the inevitable rush cannot be avoided. Lack of organization and mass confusion leads to great annoyances for the students and their parents. The residence halls provide carts for those who cannot possibly carry three trunks, six boxes, a stereo, a television, and a fish tank to their room without any ma- jor catastrophes. When students do bring this much paraphenalia, they usually end up sending half of it back home again. The carts are actually very convenient and when the long-awaited turn comes up, stu- dents find that the carts finish the weary chore of moving in more quickly and with greater ease. Frequently, students change rooms and roommates. This continues until each par- ty concerned is satisfied. Useless junk and next seasonis clothes are stored and room- mates rearrange their decor until they are satisfied. Unfortunately, when everything seems to be perfect, it is time to move again.
