A FRESH Only moments ago we heard the last shrills of bells professing the beginning of summer. Once again, we are faced with the new names and faces, long lines, professors, and buying books. We thought it was going to be just another long and laborious year, but it wasn ' t. What we had ahead of us was a new approach to living at WVU. We were given a new beginning and a new year. The campus was growing and so were we. Now was the chance we had been longing for. We proved ourselves because we had been given A FRESH START.

Many students and their parents were in- volved with the moving-in procedures at Boreman Hall. Startin ' all over again Summer flew by this year; it always does. But this summer was a little different in that Mount St. Helens erupted and blew ashes all over Oregon. However, nothing was different for us. We had to pack once again and head for Morgantown and another year of academia and whatever. Whatever, students loaded their cars and trans- ported their paraphenalia. Before their first class on Aug. 25, students could enjoy registration lines, financial aid bat- tles, book store hunts, and the Pickers, who per- formed on Sunday. True, mass confusion was evident the first few weeks of ' 80- ' 81, but every student did have A FRESH START. Not only did the beginning of school indi- cate a lot more students on campus, but a lot more PRT breakdowns. Freshmen immediately became acquainted with the dormitory food at Boreman and the long lines in order to get it. 1 Beginning of school
