The Band banned. Sweat-free Stanford.

Both of these subjects inspired heated argument across campus last year, with anti-administration sentiment often running high. They’ve run much higher in the past: in April 1971, a powerful bomb explosion tore a jagged two-foot hole in the office ceiling of then-University President Richard Lyman.

We discuss current drinking habits on campus. But what do we have to compare to? Take 1984, when most current seniors were but a speck in their parents’ eyes. According to a survey conducted then, one out of every two students drank alcohol at least once a week, with one in ten drinking more often. Would that make for a better campus? Worse? You decide.

Page Two’s “Day in the Life” is a daily feature designed to remind students of Farms past, whether with information relevant to current debate, or just interesting curiosos from a different time. We hope you’ll be a reader.
