MOVE IN DAY Crew rovicCes smooth moves Temperatures scorching. Cat Crew volunteers move 100s of students. V ehicles were backed up on Centennial Drive as freshmen students and their parents inched their way into campus around 7:30 a.m. It was officially move-in day, and everyone tried to get unloaded possessions and lofts constructed before the mercury hit triple digits. Mercury rose to 105 degrees by 11 a.m. The university had not seen an opening day as stifling since 1970. The heat, however, didn ' t stop 167 Cat Crew volunteers move more than 1 ,000 freshmen into residential halls. Even with the heat, everything went fabulous, Assistant Residential Lite Coordinator Matt Baker said. It proved that with planning, coordinating and preparation that things don ' t have to turn into a nightmare. On average, it took less than 10 minutes for volunteers to unload a vehicle, cram everything into an oversized laundry cart and have students realize they ignored the advice given at orientation about diirms having limited space. by Kara Swink For freshmen .Ashley Nelson the ti c Cat Crewmembers who had her things unloaded in five minutes made a huge impression on her. 1 liked this cheap move, Nelson said, it really helped a lot. 1 might just have to volunteer next year. By 4 o ' clock, Cat Crew volunteers were addicted to water; trying to flush the taste of salt from their mouth, but they didn ' t stop. Volunteers kept working throughout the day even when sweat ran down their face constantly, but their hard was noticed by parents and students. Jerry Zevecke, who moved his daughter into Dieterich, said the volunteers were a great addition to the day. Today really helped out the parents and students, he said. You can tell the college really made an effort to head this up. .■ s temperatures deceased and vehicles cleared Centennial Drive, freshmen students kept unpacking belongings while starting their college experience.
