College years are growing years, and as such, they should not be classified by such mundane terms as freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Rather, more accurate terms for progressive classification are; infant, toddler, adolescent and adult respectively. Infant stage (freshman year): Students arrive on campus in early August, ladies in the Quad and gentlemen in Drew Hall. These students are wide-eyed, happy and carefree. Like infants, they are in new surroundings, and arc not wholly aware of everything going on around them. They have no choice but to put their trust in their elders, i.e.: Campus Pals. Resident Assistants, and upperclassmen. Categorically, these persons take classes lightly, preferring to sleep late rather than stagger to an 8:10 class. The most likely cause of this tired infant syndrome is the late night philandering in the infant playpen (the wall in front of the Quad). By the end of the year, these students generally develop infantitus. which is defined as the eagerness to progress to the toddler stage. Toddler stage (sophomore year); T his year is generally a better year for the student than the first year A renewed confidence in self is discovered Like a toddler, these students seem to ask an infinite number of questions about themselves, other people and life in general. This stage involves discovering who one is through interaction with others. Thus, toward the end of the toddler stage, these students tend to seek out and join organizations on campus, and social cliques begin to form.
