College Life in 1979
Enrollment was 931 with a faculty and staff of over 125 on a campus of 550 acres with over 30 buildings. Ground was broken for the Fine Arts building on March 24, 1977 and it was dedicated on September 6, 1978.
Tuition was $2,415, room was $475, board was $845, and fees were $145 per year. Linen service cost $20 and insurance cost $43. There were laboratory fees for certain courses.
The front door of each living unit was secured Sunday through Thursday at midnight and on Friday and Saturday at 1:30 a.m. Each individual had possession of a key to the side and main doors of his or her living unit at all times. Room keys were issued for the protection of personal property.
To protect the privacy of others in all-college residences, guests of the opposite sex had to enter and exit though the main entrance of the building.
Guests were welcome in the public lounges of the living units any day from 9:30 a.m. until the unit closed. Closing and quiet hours were set by living unit governments.
Twenty visitation hours in individual rooms were available on weekends during the following hours: on Friday from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to noon, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., and on Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Smoking was allowed in the library only in the after hours study roon, the restrooms, and the smoking lounges on the first and second floors. Typing rooms were available during library hours on a first-come, first-served basis.
Social events involving men and women could be held in student residences between Friday noon and Sunday evening. Living exchange dinners or desserts held during the week had to end by 10:00 p.m.
Students were not to have pets, firearms, intoxicating beverages, drugs, or perishable food in the room. Electrical appliances had to be cleared with the Residence Director. No tape, tacks, screws, or nails were to be put on or in the walls.
In addition to the television sets provided in public areas, students could use solid-state sets in their rooms. Refrigerators were provided in kitchenettes and were not permitted in student rooms.
All students could have cars on campus but freshmen had to park in a lot some distance from where they lived. A current decal had to be displayed on the rear window. Cars were not to be driven or parked on lawns or walks.
Hanover Traditions: There was no smoking on campus. There was no athletic activity on Sunday nor on the lawns of the campus.
1979--Memories of Hanover
Times with friends at the Beta House and hanging out with my buddy, Jim Hammond.
-Mike Burkert
The freshman corridor was full of wonderful friends and colorful memories...Cathy who wanted to be a truck driver, Jan and JoAnn who had their act together, Denise Lemon who I still think of from time to time. Of course, Cindy Funk....baton twirler with blonde curls...my freshman year roommate. Cindy and I couldn't be more opposite and yet she was my sanity. We had great times! I remember the surprise birthday party everyone threw for me at the Cabin. It was the first surprise party I've ever had. The cabin was such a great meeting place. Also, I really appreciated Dr. Thomas, the Art Professor who put up with my rebel spirit. The art history class gave me a gift I have carried all my life. I can walk into any art museum and recognize the artistic styles and time periods. Thank you Dr. Thomas, where ever you are. The Sigma Chi house with Buckwheat, Buster, Kurt, and Lou Petticrew shaped me into the independent thinker I continue to be. The guys were a strong influence! What a wonder experience to get to know such great men. I was only at Hanover for 2 years, but it shaped me none the less.
-Denise Girten Frey
Listening to Led Zeppelin and living the life in Crowe Hall with friends Greg and Keith. Walks around the Pointe and trips to Dave's farm and the Broadway. Geology field camp at Ghost Ranch.
-Richard Goings
Walks to the point, beetle burgers from The Cabin, 3rd Central girls, Choir trips with Dr. Wagner (especially to Poland), Theta friends and events and great Sociology classes with Dr. Keller (especially "Marriage and Family" class with Eric).
-Jan Haas
Rack room Talks....
-Emily Fogg Miller
The Point, Dr. Keller's classes, especially the trip to Harlan and Anna Hubbard's home at Payne Hollow, Fiji Island, doors to dorms locked for women but not for the men, the cabin, the excitement of rush, and finally graduation day and perfect weather for the ceremony at the point.
-Anne Detlefs Minch
My best memories are of the friends I made, in chapel and especially in the dorm. We had a lot of fun pulling jokes on each other. Our floor put new words to a Sigma Chi song so it would fit our floor. Panty raids were another funny thing, especially since the college wanted us to sit down on the hall floor and not respond. I was only there for one year, but have some good memories. I've never seen a more beautiful campus.
-Pamela Hutson Morr
I will always remember the beauty of the campus. I loved walking around the Point and still miss seeing the beautiful colors in the fall. My other great memories about Hanover were the friendships that were made and the ongoing support from professors - those was the best parts for me.
-Abby Dormire Powers
Living in the ADPi House, Mr. Misties from Dairy Queen in the back of Linda Bruns' little truck, Mom Bunn and Carol(that was her name?) the wonderful cook, the Firemens Ball, initiation, walking to class enjoying the beautiful campus, "Gertie" and my El Ed classmates, wearing overalls, spring break trips to Florida in "Beffer"'s parents' big car, the blizzard, the snow lion,getting pinned, parties at the Beta House, Harold's Club, our saying, "These are the times of our lives!" And last, but not least, my son, Matt's graduation on a gorgeous day in May of 2008!
-Teresa Spoelker Revelette
Spring term trips to the Smokies, NYC, Michigan Dunes & Bogs; a sad attempt to keep up with Dr. Webster in Field Zoo; a midnight trip to the bell tower atop Parker Aud., Dr. Blume making Economics fascinating; thinking baseball was boring (ha!); a unique party at the Phi Delt house senior year; my Theta sisters and our various crimes of misbehavior; our trip to Kansas City for NAIA Div. II playoffs; being lucky enough to crash and burn in the boyfriend dept. until 1986 (thank you Dennis for 23 wonderful years so far); J. Dan telling Toni she would never be a Micro Biologist (ha!!!); the blizzard of '78; football and basketball, more football and basketball; and last but not least, being told I would never make it in theater - thank you Dr. Evans for redirecting my aspirations.
