On The Upswing, Enrollment Increases Pikeville College opened its doors to new and returning students August 23-26. After the registra- tion period ended September 4, it was obvious that good things were going on at the college. A strong positive attitude was growing, reflected in areas such as student services, curriculum development and enrollment. Mike Cooley (top, left), a senior music major, discussed his schedule with Jim Andy Caudill. The two-day orientation for new students was probably the busiest time of all for them. They met in the cafeteria for icebreaker games. During the inner- outer circle game Clenda Rowe met freshman Melissa Brown (top, right). The first day of orientation students moved in the dormitories. Liz Mullins, Leah Strader and Nancy Elliott (bot- tom) spent the afternoon moving pillows and clothing into their rooms. S.G.A. hosted a picnic pool party for new and returning students. Bethe Hall, Chuck Newman, James Hensley, Roberta Kendrick and Chris Miller (opposite page, top) enjoyed the feast. Tonya Adkins (opposite page, bottom) enlisted the aide of a friend to help her move in. 4 Student Life
