At approximately 12:01 this morning the first weeklong Paternoville campout began.

By the start of the campout about 225 people were signed up and 50 tents were being set up Chris Grassi, Paternoville Coordination Committee vice president, said.

Campers that come every week and those that come for just the "big" games were both in attendance.

"The atmosphere is just so much different for the big ones," Andrew Dryden (sophomore-hotel, restaurant and institutional management) said.
