Your room's on the third floor, here's your key and I hope you brought a fan-it's really hot. With this greeting, my parents and I began the long walk up 53 stairs with clothes, a stereo, stuffed animals and other necessities for college life. Af- ter putting posters on bare walls, re- arranging furniture and finding the bathroom, my roommate and I bade our parents good-bye and entered the dining service for our first meal. Floor meetings held that night gave us a chance to meet our neighbors and the staff. Rules for basic dorm life and open visitation were explained. The weekend loomed before us af- ter three days of classes, plus the thought of finding Friday's night meal. We skipped eating for awhile and went to the Student Council Govern- ing Board's Activities Night. A dance and different booths were presented in the Student Center to the new stu- dents. Afterwards, trying to get a taste of Greek life, we went to the Lambda Chi Alpha Yard Party, an annual Sep- tember event. Various halls also sponsored get-acquainted dances for the residents. Open rushes for little sisters of fra- ternities were widely advertised that first weekend throughout the dorms. We also had a chance to explore the Village, Dug-out and Commons in our spare time. We really were beginning to feel a part ot campus. Communicating in whispers during the SCGB Activities Dance, Ralph and Waldo listen to the powerful sounds produced by the night's band, Wunderwall. This couple apparently didn't come to eye the field of single students, as most of the crowd normally does.

Bob Shinkan Jr. gets some much needed help from his father in moving back to school. So many personal items are needed to make a dorm room iust like home that cartop carriers are almost a moving-in must.

l l Pugg on mini-performances all evening, BSU's Little Theatre actors take a break to congratulate each other on their first place booth award. Stuffing people with information and popcorn, Andy Hunt and Denise Conner eagerly sign up people to help with the Student Voluntary Services, an organization in which volunteers donate their time and experience to aid the Muncie community, its residents and their children. Broadcasting doesrft just involve sitting behind controls in a studio. Jeff Pavolich demonstrates portable audio-visual equipment in an effort to get more people interested at the Broadcasting Guild booth. Q mm f Q x av v
