Fall Event Holland library . , . a familiar sight to all students once the homework starts being assigned. .V T y g gift, g-A sig, .Ag Stiff smiles and sore feet are the result of a long day of rushing. And you'll be living with me on third floor . . . resounds in the ears of happy pledges as they move in. Fall, the season for unpacking a new sweater and a package of new incentive. lt's a fresh beginning along with the will to make this year different. Fall means a time of being glad to see old friends back. lt's the season for wide-eyed freshmen and a new crop of pledge pins. The CUB fountain area again fills with students and the ash trays overflow with cigarette butts. Todd's floors shine with their fresh polish and the students' rooms are relatively clean. AWS big sisters call their little sisters and tell them, So glad you made it, and can we meet for a coke soon? The new ones begin to think Cougar- ville isn't too desolate after all. Everyone goes to football games. Girls often go only because everyone else does. Besides, they are free. Many don't understand the game more than knowing which end of the field their team is head- ing. The boys come to analyze the plays and to discuss them in that bewildering football termin- ology. The yell leaders lead the Washington State spell-out and urge the crowd to give with a little chatter when the team comes out of the huddle. By mid-third-quarter the fall air has turned brisker and crisper. Students huddle behind blankets and turn their coat collars up. ln the closing minutes of the fourth the blankets are refolded so that when the final gun sounds, the stadium has already be- gun to empty. And so another football Saturday ends.

The new Bookie gets its christening as students load up with books for the first day of classes. Sorry, but that class is full, is ci familiar and dis- heartening statement during weary registration days. Sorority pledges are once again feted at the annual Kappa Sig waffle breakfast. 3 .1-pi' M-fezamww .. .s A sunny sky greets this registration line as it winds all the way from the men's gym to the library. Seeing old friends, meeting new ones and stepped-on shoes highlight open house in the fall. Thetas and K Sigs join the rally preceding the COP game.
