Changes The happenings of this past academic year have been the most radical in over a decade. What affected seniors the most was the inability of WPI to obtain liability insurance for the Goat’s Head Pub, thus necessitating its closure. Students turned to other hangouts around Worcester for those Friday evening “Happy Hours.” Finally, on April 3rd, the Pub was re¬ opened under the name Gompei’s Place where no alcoholic beverages are served. This year also saw the installa¬ tion of WPI’s thirteenth president, Dr. Jon C. Strauss. President Strauss came to us from the University of Southern California and an interview with him can be found beginning on page 154. The new Omni-Turf athletic field opened in the fall and hosted the state high school soccer champi¬ onships. In addition, new tennis courts and a baseball field were built as part of a $1.2 million reconstruction program. The on- campus housing deficiency was somewhat lessened by the open¬ ing of the upperclassmen-only Founders Hall. It consists of most¬ ly four-person suites and is complete with its own cafeteria and weight room. The complete computerization of Registration did nothing to reduce the lines that form and starting next year the AD-AC-NR grading system will be phased out. For those of us who are gradu¬ ating, the job outlook is the worst since 1975. We hope we captured all of these events and more that helped make this year so very spe¬ cial. — The Peddler Staff 2 Opening
