In some cases it was a mild feeling of sadness; in others it was a lull-fledged illness. Mostly homesickness was experienced by freshmen. Jim McMellon, a COP student from the sum- mer, had this to say: I wasn ' t homesick until I called home for the first time. Then I hit the bed about 50 times.

Everyone sized up their professors and the girls checked out all the cute guys as the guys scoped all the new girls. Each class was told what to expect in the forthcoming semester, and the first homework assignments were given out. Thus it was the beginning of a new year; it was hard work, but most thought it was worth Kadnna Nuortie SOCfALITE 25
