Campus Renewal By far, the most ambitious undertaking of the College this year is the renovation of Minta Martin. Because it is the largest dormitory on campus, many students were forced to find alterna- tive housing arrangements. These included apart- ments on High Street, the Hills Inn, and the homes of Chestertown residents. The three sororities were af- fected the most by the relocation, having to find al- ternative locations for their meetings and social func- tions. College officials hope to have the project com- pleted by the spring and the dorm reopened for the fall of 1987.

Entering the Computer Age As students re- turned to the Col- lege, they were is- sued a permanent ID card. This card enabled them to gain access to the dining hall and to check-out li- brary materials. As Wash- ington College increases its computer literacy, the benefits from computer- ization, are seen in many locations. The one in the dining hall allowed stu- dents the convenience of creating a meal plan suited to their needs. In an effort to reduce theft of library materi- als, the College in- stalled an electronic secu- rity system in Miller Li- brary. Now, any book that leaves the library must be desensitized at the Circu- lation Desk. Failing to have this procedure done will result in an alarm sound- ing upon exiting. 6 Introduction
