First Moon Many years ago Indian tribes moved their teepees across the plains of West Texas with the seasons in search of buffalo or a better place to live. In the tra- dition of their ancestors, McMurry Indians returned to the Reservation during the season of the first moon for a new year, a new quest. The first week found the one- feather tribe gathered for introduction to tribal rituals of orientation and registration. Beanie-clad freshmen campaigned for class officers, attended slime meetings, and tackled the job of organizing their class for the activities of the coming year. Registration is a time of decisions and much frustration. WN-bw- Convocation, the first assembly, is when new faculty members are intro- ducecl. Marty Ferguson, Kathy Holden, and Judy Neeb hand out headbands in the McMurry booth at the West Texas Fair.
