Campus did not always exist as it appears to-

day, The rules and regulations, administrative bodies, curriculum, teaching methods, residences, and other aspects of University Life, have changed considerably over the years; some more drastically than others. While it may be impossible to relive and change the past, it certainly is possible to remember the good times, good friends and good feelings which were generated thrpughoUt one's college career.

~REMEMBER WHEN-

-Ls an attempt by present faculty members and administrative officials to share with you some of their experiences which took place on this campus someWhere in the past. , name is Jim Griffith and I am presently Director of Student Services and will be with you for the next few issues. I would certainly be interested in re- ceiving your comments, questions and suggestions. You are most welcome to drop into the Student Services office on the first floor of Main Building and deliver these in person if time so permits. I have been on this campus since 1962 and have served in a number of different roles, the most enjoyable of which was as a~stu- dent (1962-1966). Since then I have been em— ployed as University Placement Officer, Dean of Men and presently, Director of Student Services. This column will present factual information however, I'm sure it will appear to many of you as pure fiction. .

I REMEMBER WHEN-

-Residence students were first given per— mussion to have the privilege of keeping their lights on all night (Dec. 1962).

Of course, this only happened on weekday nights: Friday and Saturday you enjoyed- the privilege of turning lights on and off 24 hours a day, if you so desired. Imagine — being able to stay up and read with the aid of elec— tric lights until 2:00 or 3500 a.m.!

The radical students, who were freshmen in 1962, protested to the Administration until they were granted this privilege, i.e.all night lights.

- Class attendance was compulsory and you were reported to the Dean of Studies if you were absent from class 3 times in one semester. If Yogr excuses were acceptable and you obtained Written permission from the Dean's Office, then” You were once again permitted to resume your place In class - yes, I mean your place ——- because you were assigned a seat which you had to occupy for the entiregyear. This made it fairly easy for the professor to take daily attendance. The practice of assigningtseats disappeared in 1963. Compul-
