Empty Room: Environment To Be By Michael Jones The scene is familiar. Boxes and crates lie across the floor in complete disarray, half of the contents neatly put away, the rest thrown in every available corner. It is something we all experience numerous times throughout our college careers - moving in. Moving in is not an isolated event, but an entire process, a sequence of events, a growth ex- perience. Not only does it involve un- packing and getting settled in, but also getting acquainted with the en- vironment, making friends and learn- ing to adjust to the living habits of roommates. I think the best part of moving in as a freshman is getting to know your roommate and other people on your floor, and then getting re-acquainted with them after the summerfi said Sophomore Kerry Taylor. Roommates can be a big help in this adjustment period. As a freshman, typically, the first person one meets is his roommate. Since everyone is in- itially in the position of knowing few people and very little about the cam- pus, the best way to combat those there-are-so-many-peop1e-and-so- much-to-learn bluesH is with a friend. There's some truth to the old Hsafety in numbersH corollary. On the other hand, there are room- mates who cannot leave home soon enough. They come with the HHere I am, Marquette - get ready attitude.

But that's okay for a while. They help the curve. Decorating is the aspect of moving in that everyone thinks of first. Decorating a room or apartment is a fun and creative way to express yourself and how a room is decorated tells quite a lot about a person. Most importantly, moving in is a symbol of adjustment. Not just ad- justing to roommates, to a new city or to college life in general, but to new- found independence. It is a step taken without the support of old friends and family. It is a time to prove that you can live on your own and develop new friendships; to develop as a per- son; to - 01d cliches aside - find yourself. It is truly a growth experience.

u w GDL's Aren't Born, They're Made By Kirk J. Hartlage Preparing for New Student Orienta- tion may have appeared rather last- minute to the over 2000 new students who arrived on campus in August. However, to the 159 staff members, preparation began as early as March. The New Student Orientation Steer- ing Board tNSOSBt began selecting its staff of Group Discussion Leaders, or GDL's, last spring. Out of the 350 who applied, 145 were chosen to serve as big brothers and big sisters to the newest members of Marquette's community. Although staff training actually began in April, the most intensive training took place for three days in August. After meeting in the Union, the entire staff trekked north to Plymouth, Wisconsin and Camp Anokijig for three glorious days and two restless nights of fun and education. But, wait! These people are GDL's! Besides being spunky, perky and seemingly tireless, don't they already know EVERYTHING about Mar- quette? On the contrary, those who know everything about Marquette are chosen as NSOSB members or have offices in O'Hara Hall. After receiving manuals and moving into their plush sleeping quarters, the GDL's reported to their first small group meeting, or breakdown, of the camp. Each of the camp's nine breakdowns was designed to prepare the GDL's for the potential problems of Orientation Week. One of Sunday's breakdowns allowed each GDL to assume the identity of a fictional new student, Marquette's Orientation is known nationally as one of the best. THIS PAGE: Top - As Engineering Senior John Hayes looks on, Arts and Sciences Sophomore Angela each with his own special problem. By becoming a new student with anxiety over making new friends, do- ing laundry, surviving SAGA, or leav- ing home and the all-important boyfriend or girlfriend, the GDL's were prepared for personalities they might encounter in the week to follow. Finally, Sunday evening gave a few eager female GDL's the oppor- tunity to get to know their male counterparts by borrowing their underwear to share with the entire Orientation staff at breakfast the following morning. After eating breakfast in a room decorated with the best of BVD, Jockey, Hanes, Fruit-of-the-Loom, J.C. Penney and K-Mart, the staff ad- dressed topics like commuters, group personalities and alcohol awareness through more breakdowns. Although the GDL's were encouraged to prepare themselves for Orientation week, many took advantage of Mon- day afternoonts free time to relax. Later that evening, the entire staff magically transformed into the world's tackiest tourists. Donning the latest in polyester fashions, the staff boogied down to the latest in Top 40 music. Tuesday, the final day of camp, contained many wrap-up activities. GDL's reviewed games to play with their groups and exciting places in Milwaukee which their groups could visit during Saturday's outing. After cleaning up, packing, a few final words, and a group photo, the GDL's boarded the Marquette-bound buses and returned home - safe, sound and well-prepared to face the week ahead.
