750 new underclassmen meet sleeping mini-city The sleeping mini-city on California Street sprang to life once more in late August when students flocked there for the beginning of Creighton ' s fall semester. Double-parked cars lined the streets as suitcase- laden students moved into their part-time homes. For approximately 750 anxious freshmen, this was the first try at college life. What a change from high- school! For some, so far from home, and for others, al- though still living at home, it was quite a change. Their anxieties were short-lived, however, when Upperclassmen met them at Eppley Airport to escort them back to campus. Townies were also greeted by Upperclassmen after their arrival on campus. Tours around the university were slated to introduce the students to the schools. But new students and old alike fell into the swing of Welcome Week activities. Get-togethers, concerts, parties, picnics and many informal activities high- lighted the week ' s schedule. By the first day of classes, students, although not quite ready to hit the books, were eagerly anticipating their second week-end on campus. Above, Col. James Castrate gels acquainted with Tom Brabec as right, sophomores Peggy Meyer, Aine McCarthy, Vi ' nce Calderola, Phil Cerra and Michelle Jones meet the freshmen. 16
