about the Williams Bookstore. - And enough student voices joined together to prevent the administration from installing a computerized lock system on all campus buildings. 1987-1988 also saw the beginning of the renovation of Hopkins Hall, the debut of a second campus newspaper,The Issue, the final year of single-sex entries in the Freshman Quad, the completion of the new Steinbrenner track and the long- awaited opening of the John Wesley Chandler Athletic Center. Chandler gym received a proper christening when Nancy Hedeman C895 scored the 1000th point in her Williams basketball career. What a year for Athletics in the Ac- ademy! It was a year for changes in academia as well. Williams brought Oxford home with the introduction of tutorials into the curriculum. lt was decided that the Fresh- man Residential Seminar, an experiment of the past two years, would continue. The distribution of the Gaudino Committees report sparked campus-wide debate on the merits of independent study and the existance of a Ukeg culture On the scandelous side, The Record, in a shocking editorial, revealed that the College Council officer positions were strictly resume-padders and that the Council's work amounted to nothing. Laden with their work on projects such as the racism panel, departmental liason committees, faculty recruitment, equi- table field time and uniform rotation for womens sports, campus lighting, Div- ision lll course offerings, and calendar concerns, the Council did not have time to respond. These are just a few of the highlights of the 1987-88 school year. We hope this book will senfe as a stepping stone to even more memories. Enjoy. E 1 1 HM 14.6 X lt Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing! All around campus students were sing- ing this Duke Ellington favorite as they learned to jitterbug in a Free University course offered by the Jitterbugging Club during Winter Study. Ephs attended classes at Towne Field House where eighteen student instructors taught them moves like The Pretzel, The Cement Mixer, and The Texas Tommy. While jitterbugging has been offered at Williams in the past, organizers David Kane and Paul Danielson tboth '88j re- ported that over two hundred students took the course this year. Kane attributed the high enrollment to the fact that students who signed up had a few days to find a partner. He noted the advantages of the new location as wellg the Field House provided ample room for the new dancers to try out their spins and tosses. One of the instructors, Mark Solan t'88j, feels that jitterbugging has become so popular at Williams because it is a dance that a lot of people know and can do at parties. Solan said he thought the students had a lot of fun because the in- structors did not go around telling people what they were doing wrong. We just showed everyone what we know and let them take it from there. lt's something they could make up as they went along. The class finished up the Winter Study period with two all-campus dances that featured great tunes from the Williams Jazz Ensemble. Both dances were high- lighted by impressive dance contests. The Jitterbug Club hopes that the fun will continue for years to come. 1988 Gul!7
