Campus Comes Alive Wilh Students I+'s Moving in Dag: Chaos, CluHer, Climbing, and Carousing As leaves begin to loft from the trees, Otterbein prepares for the 1985-86 school year. For the students, excitement has been building for days, the summer has finally come to an end, and backpacks and books need to be rediscovered. Trucks, vans, and cars are loaded down with photos, reminders of home, and all the typical college stu- dent's necessities. Some students are looking forward to dorm life, others are moving into the wild Greek houses, and a lucky few are preparing to move into their own apartments. All the students will soon enter the halls of Towers, either for the first time or as they have in years past.
