The reading experience was such a success last year for the 380 students who read "The Water is Wide," that it was expanded this year. Next year, Greiner hopes to expand again to 750 students. "It's wonderful to start Welcome Week with an academic event rather than just social. It's great to get students and faculty talking in a nonthreatening environment," Greiner said.

"After the stimulating lecture and discussion, the luncheon was anticlimactic," Amy McCormick said. Many students, including Mccormick's roommate, who bought three copies of "Rich in Love", were dissapointed that Humphreys did not sign books. The day concluded with a showing of "Rich in Love" in Russell House Theater. McCormick said, "I was glad the University showed an interest in liter ature and especially in exposing students to a day of activities centered around a good book by an author from South Carolina." ? mmz *P1 I "Can you hear ||jj| this?
