1982 1983 The Year in Review Friday, August 27,1982 ... Students started trickling, then flooding onto campus. That painful, exciting process of unloading got officially underway as over 1500 Dukies moved into “expanded rooms; according to Barbara Buschman, we were more overcrowded than ever before. Speaking of numbers, SAT scores of the new freshmen show them tied with the class of 1983 as “the brightest ever. SEPTEMBER Dukies spent a first week settling in and establishing a routine — a process that for freshmen involved getting photographed for meal cards and learning their way around, for upperclassmen meant figuring out all the housing changes and re-connecting with old friends, and for everyone meant standing in the long lines at the bookstore and sweating through Drop Add.

In the basement of the Bryan Center, the glass-enclosed craft center opened with facilities for silkscreening, photography, weaving, and other art media. The Coffeehouse held its grand opening in the East Campus Post Office building, the first-ever Duke Video Yearbook was made available to the community and construction began on the Nello L.

As stu- dents lined up to get their $2 NC-PIRG rebate, funding questions arose and students wondered whether or not they should have to contribute to this organization invol- untarily, through their activity fees.
