A U G U 5 T 1 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 August was hot and sticky. Students come trailing to Roleigh, city of red dust and dried-up gross. Signs met us on bathroom doors colling for short showers and thirsty plonts. It seemed to roin everywhere but Roleigh. with noture occQsionoily teasing with o spattering of roindrops. Miseroble though it was, we still hod to file through the Coliseum to register, and some spent hours in the sweltering mess called change day. But ot night stereos blared from lighted windows into cooler air. Some people grouped together to descend to Hillsborough Street, joining the lines at Brothers, Two Guys ond Dorryl ' s, dancing at the Sguore, and drinking everywhere. Some stayed in their rooms enjoying the peoce of stronge or familiar surroundings. 24 MOVING IN

!. ' , I.., r i ' i . Entertaining yourself involved o lot of coming and going. Sometimes everybody gathered in a single place like Stev ort Theatre, mony pouring into the campus from points outside. Lines of cars plugged the entrances to campus as they struggled to reach Reynolds Coliseum. Traffic whistles and strings of cor lights punctuated the Saturday night darkness. Often you went forth from your home in search of something to do. Most of the time this included eating out, which is a form of entertainment in itself. And a pizza at Brothers ' or Q roost beef hero ot Sodlock ' s could always possibly lead to something more interesting. But usuolly it didn ' t. Sometimes you wandered to the union in search of something to do. Ployed pool orfoosboll. Watched the pinball machines pick your pockets. Caught the late movie. An event meant anything from hanging around on the sidewalk in front of Crazy Zock ' s to attending a Friends of the College performance. Entertainment also involved staying right where you were. A few friends and some beer and music in your room could make a Friday night. (Wine and cheese was nice too, but less common.) Sometimes friends would come around and think of things to do— ploy spades, drink, watch TV, drink, ploy more spades. Sometimes you would have to amuse yourself. While many needed the releose of a rousing (or carousing) activity such OS a basketball gome or a night club night, others were content in quietness. You could stretch out on the bed with a good book that you didn ' t hove to read or turn out the light and listen to Hotel California in the dork. You might even stoy late in a chem lab if that ' s your idea of entertainment. The events that ore touched here ore only the activities provided in the school setting for you to take or leave. Some of them ore familiar to most everybody. Some ore not. A few left lasting Impressions, and others you have already forgotten. But they ore all only touchstones for the experiences of your own year, which are the real events. Aren ' t they? Articles in this section by: Dophne Homm Horry Lynch
