Moving, planning schedules, learning your way around campus, and falling into some sort of routine — all a part of Getting Started Prepara tion for 1984-85 at IJC began in the summer when pre-registration orientation was held for a week on both the Fulton and Tupelo campuses. This session gave incoming freshmen the opportunity to plan their class schedules and become familiar with the layout of the campuses, also. The second week of August brought the first residents to the campus, as the Indian football team and a few other eager movers found their places on campus. Registration was held the following week and with an additional stream of movers came the usual chaos and confusion of getting started. However, once the stereos, clothes, TV ' s, and care bears were settled in their dorm rooms, books had been bought, and schedules were arranged, IJC students were on the way to laying the foundation for a new year.
