12 The first day of kindergarten we stood by the window and peered out of the safety and security of our homes to the unknown. Times haven,t changed that much, as now, years later, we still look out the window at the beginning of each year. We,d like to hide behind the curtains of last year - behind the security of traditions, familiar professors, and old friendships, but we cant. For when we peek outside the curtains, we can see many new beginnings ahead of us.

The new freshman class entered with a whole new set of rules and requirements. There was also a whole new chapel staff and renewed excite- ment and activity within the Christian groups on campus And then, of course, there were the familiar beginnings: U-Hauls and moving in, long lines and registration, hellos and goodbyes . . .
