Volume 70 1 984 intro The book you are reading might not fit your expectations of what an annual should be As you will notice, it has quite a bit of written material. Those of you burned out on reading may not welcome such a change. Butforthe rest ofyou i offer a new maxim to live by: A rambling of words is worth several blurry pictures of people who you don't Know The idea behind this annual is that memories fade and perhaps some weIi-chosen words will jog our minds to remember what went on in this peaceful coiiege in the valley. You will find articies on a variety of subjects, some of which will not be particularly interesting for a few decades. But. 20 or 30 years from now when the Kids are wondering what this college was like when you were young and thin, you can point with pride to this annual and say iii can't remember, go read my 1984 annuait To get all the color you find in this book we had to shorten the length to 160 pages. We thought it was a dandy trade-off. As editor i would like to acknowledge the assistance i received from my staff. the administration, and of course, Color Press. Thanks to all the photographers. writers and advertisers. This annual is not without errors, I would be foolish to point them out to you. Finding them is haifthe fun.

Something for iAlmosti Everyone By GARY TETZ Photographs by COLLEGIAN, SCOTT DAVIS, MARK EARL, BRIAN NESS, and DEAN PAULSON Life in 1983-84 was a bed of spikes for WWC activity planners. And for good reason. One of their primary goals has always been to provide social outlets for every person and taste. And to be perfectly fair. they tried. But they were damming Niagra; making the moon stand still; catching sunbeams in eight-ounce jars. In other words, to put the concept in simpler, less metaphorical language, they were trying to do the im- possible. Poor, helpless souls. They did their best. They just didn't understand the issues. For why did we need the Empire Brass when we had a thrilling Michael Jackson? Hale and Wilder had only a small portion of the attraction of Hall and Oates. And who would logically need a ventriloquent Miss Texas when they had Kirk Willard, Jeff and Ted Shan- Kel, or Robert Shaw?
