Enrollment jumped 20 per cent over previous fall tabulations as returning classes piled into dorms in preparation for another academic encounter. Escalated activities moved new and old alike in whii ' l- wind fashion from the opening patio party designed to help acquaint new students — and parents — with the Fort Lewis Mode of life, to opening night at Dark of the Moon in just a few short weeks. Settling itself into a dual routine of scholastic pursuit and social encounter, the campus turned attention to student govern- ment, books and football. Organiza- tions issued calls for new member- ship while the Sports Car Club made plans to host an invitational gym- khana, and musicians got back into the swing of things again. Home- coming loomed around the corner. Several hundred persons attended the evening outdoor buffet dinner which concluded a get-acquainted day following the initial rigors of registration. Administrators, faculty members and veteran students showed up to chat with newcomers and to make them feel at home. I,ir« ri ' ' - Early in fall, men of Fort Lewis ' branch of AAUP sponsored a cafeteria kick-off breakfast to boost the Raider gridiron squad on the morn of the first home game against Western State College. Coaches, players, faculty mem- bers and others were there to meet Coach Cullen ' s group. Bill Pointe, Dr. N. G. Tate, Dr. and Mrs. Willard O. Bowman, Bob Krul and Bruce Carman were among those present, above. Lisa Dickens and Joella Sowell pre- sided at the punch bowls, right, during an informal reception in the student center. Housing was an important item to be considered during those early days in ' 66. High enrollment figures put the squeeze on some students. Even during this informal gathering, stu- dents continued to move into Dean Bill Pugh ' s office to make final arrangements for quarters. 86
