Freshmen Campout, 1985, photo 1

This image shows freshmen students sitting outside I. G. Greer Hall, built 1950, while in line for registration at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in November 1985. During the week of November 11-14, a rumor was starting informing freshmen students that all classes had been already filled by upperclassmen, resulting in students attempting to get in the registration line the day before. Students slept in sleeping bags and held what was credited as the largest party of the semester on Sanford Mall. This image appears in the 1986 Rhododendron (p. 209).
