TO START THE YEAR The end of Che summer is a sad time — a time to leave the salt filled air of the beaches and the pine scent of the mountains and return to the halls of education. But as we come back to continue our learning, we begin to realize that the end of summer really isn ' t so bad after all. For with this ending comes a new beginning, and this beginning means the start of new friendships and experiences. As we rekindle old friendships, we soon see that our sadness turns to joy — the joy of beginning another year at PSU. Hamburgers end baked beans were Che main attraction at the cook-out. | HAVE A GOAL tee-shirts were given away at orientation.
