Members of the Football Team helped their fellow classmates move in by carrying many of the heavy milk crates, boxes, and suitcases. It made moving in easier for many people. Moving In I didn ' t know that they had such impressivr talents, said President Indelicato of h. fellow adminstrators, Vice Presidents Deep and Chicarelli. Maybe next time, we ' ll try something more challenging, like pizza. There was a warm and friendly feeling in the air, as students prepared for their first day of classes. Residents were carting their belongings in boxes and milk crates into the dorms. Commuters arrived on campus to buy their books, as the new incoming freshmen went to the Campus Center Auditorium for their class meeting. That afternoon, an All-College Barbecue was held for the students, faculty, administration and staff behind the Kelly Gymnasium. Serving and cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers were the new president and the vice- presidents. It was then for the first time that many saw Bridgewater ' s new Presi- dent. For some it came as a shock. I can ' t believe he ' s cooking, and wearing shorts, said one upperclassman. It was terrific to see so many people having such a good time in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, said Indelicato. That sense of belonging together, of family, is important and needs to be fostered through our work, study, and recreation. Sophmore Karen Melanson enjoyed herself immensely. I think it ' s good that the president is out meeting the students, said Melanson. On this campus I think the students expect the President to be accessible. This was a good way to show it.
