...parking lots are jammed. As suburban mothers do across the country, Hinsdale's decry the time they spend behind the wheel. And well they should: they clock between 6,000 and 8,000 miles a year simply shuttling around the area. Says Mrs. James Gibson, wife of a psychiatrist and mother of four girls: "Everything is event-oriented with children here.

Unwilling residents from that class put on a display worthy of the greatest of draft dodgers. One then-freshman asked a psychiatrist to certify that she would be unable to study while living at the Quad; others had alumni parents plead their cases to the housing office. All told, about 60 Quad residents have transferred so far this year and many more hope to follow them. Nor is the trend abating...
