Attending the THE dance in front of Moore Hall are Evelyn DeJesus and Sherry Bullard. ZTA pledges. Student Views: The Point of the Matter People, People, People! On registration day we filed into Jones Physical Education building after waiting for hours. We saw faces we knew, faces we didn ' t know. In the next few weeks, we renewed friendships and made new ones. Some of us blended. Some of us clashed. But that was okay because we were people. We were the point of the matter. How were we different? We wore hightops and long bulky sweaters. We cropped, shocked, and scrambled our hair. We turned up collars on everything. We wore bright colors and pais- ley, stoned denim and sweatsuits. You could still see plaids, caps (but not in McDuffie ' s history clas- ses), and, occasional overalls. It seemed one, however, had chopped off the rat ' s tail. There were several stylistic pioneers on campus. There was the one guy who wore the knee- length black wool coat, a denim engineer ' s cap over sun-bleached hair, and a pirate ' s earring on the side. There was the one girl who tried single-handedly to bring back the mini-skirt she wore with leather vest and a roaring twen- ties crown cap. Maybe it was a turned-down derby. Well, a som- brero it wasn ' t. And we mustn ' t forget the alumnus that wore the full-length trench coat. He must have dressed in a hurry, poor soul, because that ' s all he was wearing, as a few of our female students found out. He came and went in a flash, though. We still strived for the unusual and, more times than not, we achieved it. Of course, there were the usual campus highlights. Everybody was going Greek, except for those unmentionable G.D.I. ' s. We par- tied often, studied some (really, we did!), trembled at initiations and cried at finals. We ate in the cafeteria, ate at the B.S.U., snacked in class, pinched those inches, and rushed off to the gym before the weekend. We strung up the trees with toilet paper, complained about broken air con- ditioners and elevators, flirted • with our big and little brothers and sisters, and carried on the traditions of Pembroke State University in the ways of our Htroko Suga and Steve McQutston focus attention on Penny Midge at the Student Government dance held in the Student Center.

PSU Opens Doors Students Work And Party During the first week of school, many students were look- ing forward to another successful year while seniors waited for the chance to graduate. The atmo- sphere was sometimes chaotic and sometimes exciting when stu- dents were moving into the rooms and old friends met once again. Registration was the prelude to much of the confusion and ex- citement on campus. As students waited in line to sign up for courses, some had to struggle to change their class schedule for dif- ferent reasons. It may have been that a class had filled to capacity. Perhaps it was because a class had been cancelled without the students ' knowledge. It was the first day that many students had seen one another since the spring semester. Classes began on August 28, 1985. Students rushed to get to their classes while others rushed to Sampson Hall to pick up drop add cards. When students walked into their classes, most expected to find out the name of the text- book and get their syllabus; how- ever, some teachers actually as- signed homework. After classes, many students went to the book- store to stand in line once again. The SGA sponsored the back-to-school dance on Septem- ber 4 and provided entertainment from the Voltage Brothers. After students had finished with paying, registration, and going to class, students were ready to go to work (or at least try). Whenever stu- dents were ready to work, it wasn ' t long before they were ready to play. With items like motorcycles, boxes, and stuffed animaJs, students moved into dormitories. Typical examples are these couples. Kim Jones and Jason Cote (right) and ' ' Skip ' ' James Graham and Lora Samples (far right). 18 Review
