Dorm life offers activities and excitement wfr - W I irtS : The process of education is continu- ous. The choice of going to college after high school shows that the student de- sires a continuance of a structured educa- tion. Going away to college offers a whole new world of knowledge. Classes, homework, and term papers are no longer the only activities associated with school life. Living on campus enables the student to experience life, maybe for the first time, on his own. It does take time to get used to being away from the security of home. Learning to live with others in this new environment proves to be a very enriching experience. Suddenly, all those things mom used to do have to be done somehow on your own! Many new re- sponsibilities are taken on, adding to the student ' s continuing growth process. Despite all these adjustments, the changes seem to come naturally and the students begin to feel comfortable in their new environment. Many opportunities to become involved in campus life are avail- able and rewarding. Sharing so much with roommates makes for deeper, longer last- ing relationships. Upper: One male resident had the right idea by bringing a truck to help transport his belongings to college. Lower: Some students find the swings on the front campus the best place to study and meet with friends. Dorm Life 19

Left: Karen Thomson try s to decide wether or not to register a car on campus. Right: The making of I. D. cards was one phase of registration that was amus- ing. Lower: Cathy Mims informed everyone about the Campus Ministries activities planned. Thank goodness it only happens twice a year! Although registration does not neces- sarily mean long lines and hours of wait- ing here at Anderson College, it can still be frustrating. This is especially true for first-timers and those who find that they cannot get classes to fit any of the several schedules they have planned. Instructors are present to assist when help is needed, and the ordeal of registra- tion is not as confusing as it seems. When revisions on schedules are made and reg- istration is completed students can rest easier and become acquainted with their new school-time schedules for the com- ing semester. 18 Registration

Living and learning at A.C. Although dorm life is definitely a learn- ing experience (academically and other- wise), it is also full of varied activities that ar e a lot of fun. Competition with, hopefully, good sportmanship is prevalent during foot- ball, basketball, and softball seasons. Re- sident students have the opportunity to represent their halls by participating in these intramural sports during their re- spective seasons. There is also stiff com- petition when individual halls and rooms compete for Dean ' s Cup Points by de- corating their rooms and doors for Hal- loween and Christmas. Seminars are provided for students who want and have time to attend. Through these sessions, students can learn more about themselves, about how to study, and about other useful topics. Another fun aspect of dorm life is Hallo- ween, when students show their real character in dressing up as various mon- sters, animals, ghosts, and ghouls. The costume contest at supper made dressing up even more fun and exciting. m 20 Dorm Life i
