They have no magic to stir men's blood. Most of the faculty and support staff are already here.
Some teachers are busy rehearsing and reviewing their notes.
Technical crews , who were here until after eleven last night installing the last of the new equipment, are trailing in as well. Lights are flickering on, doors are banging. The morning report is being shown on monitors throughout the hallways. In the cafeteria, students are gathered in groups at the tables. Some are typing furiously on their laptop computers or using voice recognition programs, finishing projects they've put off too long.
