No, Bruce Springsteen did not perform at Sul Ross this year. Then what was the huge line for at the Graves-Pierce Building? Fall registration- -what else? Students filed into Graves-Pierce full of anticipation for the start of the semes¬ ter. The line moved from station to station, each person obtaining necessary information. By the end of registration, students were drained in more ways than one. We had been in line for what seemed like hours. We were drained both men¬ tally and physically from the wait, and now they wanted to drain our pocket books as well (which they did). When it was all over, a sigh of relief could be let out, and the semester could get underway. Sul Ross enrollment for the fall semes¬ ter was down six percent to 1,650. This decline held true throughout the state as Texas colleges and universities suffered a decrease in enrollment. This is prob¬ ably the result of tuition tripling since the previous semester Dicky Bain WHAT ARE YOU TAKING?

1mm - m i r j ttOff The fall semester got off to a great start with the second annual Sul Ross Sundae, held on the Mountainside lawn. The Program Council, University Food Service and RA Programming Personnel sponsored the event which gave stu¬ dents a chance to meet one another. About 150 students showed up to participate in horseshoes and the ongoing football and volleyball games. Some brought frisbees to throw while others just talked to friends. Later in the day, the RAs and Program Council members served vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream to the students who added hot fudge and other toppings. That night, everyone was invited to the Mall for the Mel Brooks’ film, ’’Young Frankenstein.” Students brought quilts, blankets, and lawn chairs to lounge around on while viewing the movie. Dicky Bain GOOD STUFF - Billy Crawford and Mike Whiteley have a friendly conversation while enjoy¬ ing the free ice cream served at Sul Ross Sundae. SET IT UP - Many of the students participated in the ongoing volleyball game, one of the more popular activities of the day. 26 Sul Ross Sundae
