1974 Memory Book

College Life in 1974

Enrollment was 978 with a faculty and staff of over 95 on a campus of 500 acres with over 30 buildings. The Phi Delta Theta house, the Kappa Alpha Theta house, and the Lyman S. Ayres Field were completed while this class was on campus.

Tuition was $1,925, room was $350, board was $600, and fees were $135 per year. Linen service cost $20 and insurance was $23.50.

For freshmen and sophomore women, dorms closed Sunday through Thursday at 12:00 a.m. and on Friday and Saturday at 1:30 a.m. All doors except the main entrance to living units were locked no later than 6:30 p.m. Junior and senior women were permitted to sign out keys to their residence hall if they were not on academic probation and if they had parental permission. The key had to be returned to the receptacle by 7:30 a.m. on the morning following its checkout.

Sunbathing was restricted to areas adjacent to each living unit as designated by the personnel deans. Students could sunbathe everyday and after noon on Sunday.

The playing of ball or other games was not allowed on the campus within the drive and directly in front of residence halls. Such activities were confined to the athletic areas.

Television sets were provided in public area and therefore not permitted in student rooms. Refrigerators were provided in kitchenettes and were not permitted in student rooms. All weight lifting was to be done in Lynn Hall only.

Students were not to have pets, firearms, intoxicating beverages, or electrical appliances. Electric razors were permissible. No tape or nails were to be put on or in the walls. The use or possession of illegal drugs subjected the student to dismissal from college. Hazing was prohibited.

Women could wear slacks to class when the official temperature was ten degrees or lower.

Social events involving men and women could not be held between Monday morning and Friday noon of any college week. Exchange dinners or desserts could be held on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Male guests were welcomed in the public lounges of the women's living units any day from 10:00 a.m. until the houses were officially closed. Women could use the public lounges of the men's living units between the hours of noon and one-half hour before women's closing.

All students, except freshmen, could have cars on campus, but they had to registered in the Business Office and a decal had to be displayed on the right side of the windshield. Vehicles had to be covered by proper insurance.

Convocations were held every Tuesday during the fourth hour, and every Thursday during the third hour. Each student was required to attend seven Tuesday and seven Thursday convocations each term. Spring term requirements were set specially each year. Seniors who had fulfilled their assembly obligations for the first three years were excused from the requirements.

1974--Memories of Hanover

Great undergrad education/experience and, hey, I met my wife in the bio lab (31 yrs ago)!!
-Robert Alonso `74

Spring Term, ADPi House, "The Cabin," Clifty Falls, Donner Hall (Freshman Year), marathon bridge games at "The Hub," Powder Puff Football, making friends who are still best friends today.
-Desa Bubnovich

The beauty of the campus, the warmth of the friendships formed, late nights studying, and the terror of the April 3rd tornado and its aftermath!
-Connie Emmons Charron

fog horns, painting on the point, serenades, candlelights, rush parties, plays, required convos, pitching at a softball game and beating IU, bowling at the Campus Center, visiting profs' homes, Human D class, the Hub, the Cabin, and, of course, the tornado!
-Diane Bauer Gilchrist

My best memories are the walks I would take to the Point to look over the beautiful Ohio River. I also remember fondly my sisters in Phi Mu. Even though we were all different, we respected each other. I also remember my students in the biology program who shared my passion for biology and my fellow singers in the choir and chamber singers. We made great music.
-Nancy Gloman

My stay at Hanover were filled with good memories
-Patrick Iyahen

Relaxing on the Point on a beautiful fall day and examining the meaning of life.
-Jeffrey Jay

2nd Ide; Phi Mu House; making life long friends that mean more and more each passing year; stinko Ginko trees; required Convocations; required closing for women (what was that all about?); Dr. Yarnell and Dr. Bucks; Tornado senior year and living in Long Gym for spring term; beautiful campus.....
-Elaine Kops-Bedel

The occasional food fight in the cafeteria, traveling to England with Dr. Bucks,every Spring Term, living in Donner Hall with the best roommate ever,the great view of the quad from my Donner window, and living in the ADPi house.
-Linda Hobbs LaCour

I loved the beauty of the campus, especially the view from the point. My first job after graduation was as a teacher at the high school in Hanover and I would come back on campus periodically just for the view of the river.
-Melberne Crellin Mansfield

The tornado of 1973, intermural basketball, going to Washington, DC twice (once with 3 fraternity brothers for Spring Break, the other was with the play that won the National College Theater Festival when we performed at the Kennedy Center.)
-Stephen Montignani

Classes with Dr. Mathews and Dr. Campbell; organ lessons with Dr. Wagner; close friendships; the natural beauty of the campus and the richness of the seasonal changes.
-Karl Plank

Of course the TORNADO of April 3. That seems to overshadow many other memories! There is a new "When Weather Changed History" program on the Weather Channel, about "our" Nado, but it does not mention Hanover. Interesting, though. And I remember an absolutely wonderful Junior Year Abroad, but those memories, unfortunately, are shared by only a few other students. Good times in the Theta House, and The Cabin - too bad it's gone! And, for me, a singular freshman year with the first semester spent in Newby. YUK! Good memories and some not so good.
-Elizabeth Mellett Rehfus

The beautiful woods surrounding the campus and gracing the entryway; unpacking my trunk and being the "new girl" in Donner Hall as a January admission in 1971; having Cheryl Seulean as my roommate sophmore year; wearing Chanel #5 on winter mornings with new snowfall; having the electricity go out while being called before the judicial board; driving with friends through the town of Hanover with the car horn stuck and wondering what "that noise" was; surviving the infield at the Kentucky Derby; discovering Moliere and eastern theology; passing notes with Cheryl Seulean in World Literature class; and of course, Spring Term.
-Louise Winemiller Ryder

Spring break in Florida senior year. Spring term in India junior year with Karen Ebert and my sister. The tornado and all the Phi Mu pink bedspreads in the trees.
-Carol Schobert

Friends, small classes, professors who cared, The Point, ADPi activities, athletic opportunities, and meeting Mike.
-Roberta (Berta) Fahey Sipe

J. Carl Metz, Midnight Frisbee League, The Crowe Cup, Maggies, The Magic Log, Sitting on top of Clifty Falls with feet hanging over the edge, Ted Nugent playing to red tablecloths and candles, the Rooms of Renown.
-Karl Sturbaum

I remember wonderful friends, walks around the point, caring professors, BB tournaments in Kansas City, surviving and adapting after the tornado, and a physics major named Joe.
-Becky (Rebecca) Tabor Wakefield

Just a great place to spend a great four years and meet the love of my life.
-William Welsheimer

Fog up to my waist -- Eco clean up projects on the river bank -- Convocations! -- Football games -- The Morgue crew --
-Christy Green Whitney
