Thursday, Sept. 3, college life began anew on campus as hundreds of both new and returning students descended upon the college of their choice either to begin or continue their pursuit of higher education. Amid talks of strike and the excitement of beginning another academic year, the atmosphere was electric. Hopes were high. Nothing, it seemed, could dampen the enthusiasm for a fresh start. Preparing to start another year, Cindy Almonte (at right) of Trumbull, Conn., a sophomore, is assisted by her father, Ralph, as she moves into Thorp residence hall; Immediately below, Kellee Russo (at left) of Norwich, Conn., tucks away a considerable stock of groceries in her Webber hall suite with the help of Rita White of Ashaway, R.I. 'These,' says Kellee, 'are for late night snacks.' At bottom, Melissa Torow of Milford, Conn., hangs a poster in her dorm room as a reminder of home. At bottom right, Kim Souza, a freshman from Portsmouth, emerges from the College bookstore ready to start the semester.
