Beginning And Returning The First Week At School making friends began early at the c of i for some freshmen, sawtooth week is a great tradition and many new students and returning students took advantage of the fresh air and beautiful scenery, students then just had time to dump the camping gear in the dorm room for a busy week of orientation, freshmen with the help of orientation leaders met faculty advisors, administrators, and visited the president in his home, orienta- tion week was wrapped up with a freshman outdoor dance held in front of boone science building. returning to school or stepping on campus for the first time was very exciting and expensive, one could leave the bookstore with a supply of pencils, books, and notebooks and a bill that would stagger the u. s. senate, registation cards to fill out and paper work to shuttle from financial aids office to business office and back again were all a part of that first week at the c of i. 85
