By the middle of Au- gust, thoughts turned to the start of an- other academic year and Morgantown. Some 20,000 students and 1,700 faculty members invaded the city, with traffic jams everywhere. Returning and incoming students had to deal with many changes and incon- veniences. The Stadium Bridge had been closed, the PRT was not operating and renovations to several buildings were underway. All became accustomed to standing in lines whether it was to buy books, pay tuition, or get a cold drink. When classes began August 23, the hot and humid weather resulted in students clad in shorts, tank tops and halters. Everyone thought summer school was still in session as the mercury inched into the 90 ' s. Wall-sitting was the favorite pastime for most. Attention spans for both students and teachers were short, while afternoon classes seemed to drag with thoughts turning to Cheat Lake, wa- ter skiing and suntans. Back to School 13
