Activity returns as school begins l Y Waiting in long lines, rescheduling classes, seeing new faces, and recognizing old ones characterized registration on August 27. For some the beginning of school simply meant getting back into the swing of things after a short and busy summer for others it was the start of a new life. For freshmen the beginning meant wearing beanies and learning to adjust to life on the forty acres. The adiustment required making friends, becoming involved in extra-curricu lar activities, and learning the responsibilities of being on one's own. For some there was the added responsibility of being legally declared an adult at age 18, but few seemed very affected by the new law. The BSU fall retreat at Lake Brownwood, the West Texas State Fair, and the beginning of pledging were among the activities that helped students become involved and acq- uainted with life at H-SU. Debbie Forrest and Terry Lewis reminisce over the last school year, with the arrival ofthe '73 Bronco, as they begin a new academic year. Joe Strickland and Vic Chesky take a break from studying at the Fair. David Wall enioys himself at an ICC-sponsored rush coffee.
