Monica Jaffee I Mil o vin Students Settle in after the Summer Overstuffed U-Hauls and double parked cars with blinking hazard lights line the streets of Ann Arbor. Students in cut off jeans and over- sized T-shirts hoist cardboard boxes. The city becomes a scene of chaos, clutter and confusion. Students would like nothing more than to see old friends, start classes, and hit the first fraternity party but there are boxes to be hauled, rooms to be set up, books to be bought and shopping to be done. Being subjected to swarms of fran- tic students attempting to simulta- neously establish themselves, is enough to disenchant anyone. Heavy traffic and bad tempers add to the chaos. The moving-in formula holds faithfully: heavy boxes plus cranky parents equals mass confusion. Seth Ader, first year student and Alice Lloyd resident affirms, Moving in day was pretty bad. Dorcas Blue, first year student and Betsy Barbour resident, did not think the day was so dreadful. There ' s not really too much you can do to change it, Blue observes. It ' s going to be hectic no matter how it ' s done. Apartments allow students a little more flexibility. I arranged to move into my apartment a few weeks early, said senior Ann Lambrix. Unfortu- nately, allowing students to move in early is not common practice for all management companies. O.K., unloaded boxes and poster rolls litter the floor. UPS counts its profits. Will boxes and suitcases be- gin to unpack themselves? Fat chance. I was the first one to move into my room, exclaims junior Miriam Win- ter, and the last to move my pile of clothes into the closet. Friends call- ing and party planning ulti- mately delays the unpacking process. For some students, orga- nizing rooms ranks right up there with midterms. The experience is not quite as bad for others. I was excited to unpack and set up my room, asserted Blue. This enthusiasm quickens the process and gets stu- dents to those first parties without thoughts of unpacking in the backs of their minds. Students do what they have to do. One last dinner on Mom and Dad puts an official end to summer. Bring on the school year! vRobbie Lambrix and Jennifer Aliotta ...heavy boxes plus cranky parents equals mass con- fusion.
