Want You The national draft was reinstated and 18-19 year-old males heard the words, We Want You. But the govem- ment wasn't the only institution looking for eligible young people. Henderson, too, called for young people of all ages to register. Dr. Gary Anderson, vice president for student af- fairs, welcomed students at the end of the summer with, We're looking forward to the retum of cool weather, new students, and YOU. In late August the Pine Tree Speech welcomed new stu- dents and retuming students to the Reddie Spirit. Organiza- tions brought banners and wore the red and gray to extend their welcome as the legends of the holly trees, the Pines, the bell, and the lady in Black came alive once more. Following extensive recruiting efforts, freshman applica- .' Y ' -tions were up by over 100 in the fall. The rising costs of gasoline and transportation encouraged more students to live on campus, overall enrollment was up six percent in the spring. Students found a place at HSU that was unique to any other. Welcoming people was a key focus, and many students wondered, Where else would six people say hi to me in just a few minutes? Henderson students were people and not just another number. It was a good feeling to be needed and wanted and throughout the year the feeling grew. Parties, dances, con- certs, get-togethers with friends or just a stop in the Union Pub were great opportunities to become involved in campus life. Clubs and organizations brought students together to work and play in unity. : 'J E Terri Rouse spent her summer as did many HSU students singing at Magic Springs in Hot Springs.
