-w ELCOME BACK ALL! ell hi! How have you been? How was your summer? Oh you look so tan! You couldn ' t avoid hearing these exclamations as Regis students began returning to campus this fall. Just when you thought everyone on campus knew you were a lifeguard this summer, your favorite teacher greets you with Well, what have you been doing for the past three months? Oh well, it was a great summer, wasn ' t it? But now its back to the books, and how it hurts to write that first check for those new books. And yes, saga food is even better than you remember it and Tuesday-Thursday class is even longer than you remember it. It ' s good to see old friends and to stay up late telling your roomie all about the summer, And don ' t you feel old when you old when you do your good deed for the day and help a freshman find DML 105? In just a few months or years you ' ll be graduating, a scary thought! Well, there ' s always the Welcome Back Dance to help you forget (at least for the moment) that graduation ' s not far ahead. Above the blare of the music you think you hear someone call your name .... Hi! How are you? How was your summer? TOP RIGHT: Checking out the babes at the dance. BOTTOM LEFT: John ' : that look in his eye. MIDDLE RIGHT: Hi! How have you been? How was your summer? BOTTOM RIGHT: Trish gets into this kind of music. Welcome Back Dance 13

H ELLO NEW STUDENTS ow does Regis welcome the new members of its family? With awesome enthusiasm! New students at Regis arrived on campus on Saturday August 23, 1986. Many of them encountered the Regis spirit as they disembarked at Stapelton International Airport and were innundated with Regis Saints, anxious to carry luggage and wisk them off to campus. More Saints were waiting outside the Residence Hall, and eagerly helped the new dormies move into their rooms. Get aquainted games in the quad and a movie and pizza in the Speakeasy helped new students make new friends. A welcome mass was also intended to make new students feel at home in their new environment. Placement tests may not have been welcomed with overwhelming joy by new Regisies but they were soon over. A picnic Sunday night in the quad was a last chance to spend a few minutes with Mon and Dad. On Monday the new students met their advisors and went through advising, chosing classes (how confusing!) and regis- tration. Part of the freshmen new student experience is that everything is new - new room, new roommate, new R.A. (what ' s an R.A. again?), new friends, new address, new free- doms, new experiences. There are also a lot of firsts - first SAGA food, first checking account, first college party, first financial clearance (oh my!), and first college classes. With all these news and firsts to deal with, the Day in Denver was intended to help new students become aquainted with the city of Denver and to teach them how to get around. With their Saint guide, students hopped the handy 52 RTD and soon found themselves downtown and sightseeing along the 16th Street mall and Larimer square, in the Tabor Center, Banana Republic, May D F, The Denver, whatever else they could find. It wasn ' t long, however, until routine set in and it was on with college life. 12 Freshmen Orientation

E LITCH ' S: ANYTHING BUT TAME! k-eryone loves a day at the amusement park and new students soon learned how true is the slogan Elitch ' s: Anything But Tame. Those who braved the cloudy skies ventured to Elitch Gardens to find a covered pavillion to keep off the rain and plenty ot barbequed food to keep them full. And after lunch - rides, rides and more rides. Rollercoaster fans couldn ' t get enough of Mr. Twister and the Wildcat which are rated among the best rollercoasters in the country. Other favorite rides included the Spider, the Troika, the Rainbow, the Splinter, the Sea Dragon, and the Wave Swinger. Some students had such a great time that they stayed until the park closed, and couldn ' t wait to come back next year. TOP RIGHT: Look Andrew. he ' s taking our picture.
