This year, frosted denim was the thing to wear; Raisin Guys were the things to have, and deck shoes were resurrected. Shaved hair was still worn by a few brave souls. In the first weeks, the cafeteria and the main hall were not the places to be. Construction dust, terrazza goop, and partitions were everywhere. As the year wore on, the construction wound down and new parts of the building were opened. The Commons was the new place to be at lunchtime, but the foyer remained the gathering place in the morning. 8 Student Life
