Things Change, The More They Stay The Same I was looking through some of the old yearbooks w and I do mean OLD w and it struck me that nothing at Baldwin-Wallace College ever changes; now we are all familiar with the fact that nobody ever REALLY graduates from BHW U mean, they're always around, aren't they? You'll think that somebody graduated your freshman year, and then you'll bump into them at the bar . . . is the real world all THAT bad?t, but what really spooks me is how the student body of this college has been planning and participating in the same types of events since Baldwin was around - at least it seems that way. Dontt get me wrong; life here has changed with the times, and some of the changes in the lifestyles of the student body will be documented in the rest of the yearbook, as part of our Same Difference theme . . . but Change is natural, and expected. I think that the real shock, when you look at an institution such as ours, is how much things stay the same. I think that you'll be surprised, as I was, at how much hasn't changed e sure you don't have a curfew, girls, and Freshmen don't have to wear beanies tthough why, I dont knowt, and maybe, in t46, they didntt hang out at the BBC and Charades w but the drinking age IS 21 again, and what's the difference between the Hive and Manning's ? H know, I know, at least theytre not still waiting for their burgers at the latter . . . t Seriously,1wonder how the service was there - I'll have to ask Dorothy McKelvey, our beloved B-W Historian; Itm sure she'll tell me, Christopher, the more things change, the more they stay the same . . . w C.

SEPTEMBER Sunday Monday Tuesday Wedn l 20 27 September An air of mystery shrouded B-W over the summer; a mystery represented, to the in coming Freshman class, by an eni math: for- mula: BWC:tU,Mt2 . . . What, part ered many a timid fresh, could it all mean? On Frida , September 11th. the puzzle began to unto d - The purpose behind all these covert op- erations was to welcome the new members of the B-W community, and ease their anxiety upon their arrival in this new environment. Amid the chaos of moving in and ditching the folks, incoming students were given a true 1 warm welcome at Orientation '87: THE gOWER OF YOU PLUS ME EQUALS BWC. At the o ening ceremony, students were welcome to their new home by an allwkazoo marching band featuring President Neal Malicky, Dean Frances Lucas, members of CAB, Hall Directors, and a host of RAE. and Orientation Leaders. The faculty and upper- classrnen really look forward to the incoming freshmen's electricity, states Jennifer Sinish gain, Director of New Student Orientation. 'itls like springtime in the fall. After the marching band's stirring rendition of Stars and Stri e5 Forever tpunctuated by the spontaneous ursting of hundreds of in- nocent balloonsl, the academic year officially opened with the New Student Convocation at the Art and Drama Center. This assembly of faculty and staff combined academic regalia and traditions reminiscent of medieval days with a performance by the B-W Jazz Combo. The last activity to include both students and parents was the President's Dinner at the Un- ion Ballroom, where Dr. Malicky once again extolled the class of '91 to go forth and learn; and teach by your example . . . Later that evenin , the freshmen 0t fired up for the Fire UP or Fall'i social at layfair. A regular at B-W orientations for several years, Playfair is a combination of adrenalin- inspiring dancing and tryin to meet ever one in the 300-plus crowd in t e Ursprun? 111. After Playfair, students headed to the A to dance to the sights and sounds of a video DJ. Saturday afternoon the Class of '91 went, en masse, t0 the Yellowiackets' ame at john Carroll. The Jackets lost, 10-3, ut the fresh- men were winners, especially those riding on the smoke-screen express . . . and even the rain on the North Quad picnic couldnrt put out that fire - the kids partied that night in the Union Ballroom, jammin' to the tunes of 3qu and the Hooters, courtesy of Panhel. As the upperclassmen were moving in on Sunday, the freshmen were checking out the Student Activities Fair in the Union, and the girls had the opportunity to Chat with Sorority representatives. Finally, later that ni ht, tired from the fun but hectic weekend, resi ents got gogether in their halls to meet their new neigh- ore. Orientation is just that: a sort of surve 0f the College experience . . . by the end 0 the weekend, the new freshmen had gotten tc know the campus and each other, and, com- fortable in their new home, were eager tc begin the real thing. e Hilary Budzinski
