It began to be more fun to stay on cam- pus on weekends than head home to visit mom and dad. With the increase in con- certs, lectures, and dances, we slowly realized that Homecoming and the Birth- day Ball weren ' t the only times to stay around. The SGA was especially respon- sive to students ' interests in 1978, sponsoring such events as the fall bon- fire, the faculty-student run, the Jazz weekend with Charlie Byrd, and the Bordello party. There were parades and informal gatherings: the Sig ' s mem- orializing the late Pope, and crabs bought from the new Abercrombie and Fish store. And of course, there was tradi- tion: clubs, the William James Forum, and Mayday.

Down the hallway, with Springsteen blaring on a stereo, we wonder if we ' ll ever get used to dorm life. Roommates struggle to breakfast, eat, then separate to classes. In the dorms, the lucky ones sleep until their 11:30 classes. By afternoon, distractions are foremost in concentration. During the autumn of ' 78, classes were held under the Elm. From inside Bill Smith, voices echoed out of the second and third floor win- dows; Voices of change .... the fresh- men and new professors. The incoming class was an unusually large one. Seniors and freshmen shared rooms, ideas, and fun . . . and formed teams.
