Take Another Leek Student Life The DePauw Student Union Board provided an add- ed bonus to the traditional DePauw hub break. The Union Board Hub Events Committee arranged evening entertainment in the hub a few nights every week. Performances ranged from songs by student and facul- ty members to a DePauw version of the dating game. Although the hub activities provided much enjoyed entertainment, the hub design and atmosphere were not advantageous to such events. The hub is a place where students hang out and get food. It is more like a cafeteria than a comfortable spot to enjoy conversa- tion and entertainment, said Rob Fleschler, Union Board President. Fleschler was a member of the UB space committee, created by Laure Morris, Director of Campus Programming. The space committee was created to research possi- ble ideas for the new space created by the removal of the bowling alley in the basement of the U3. The bookstore and annex expanded and diversified their products with the annex taking up half of the available space. The other half of the former home of the bowl- ing alley was reserved for student use. The members of the space committee talked to their living units about preferences for such a space. Fleschler stated, The Student Union Building seemed to be for everyone tCareer Planning and Place- ment, The Terrace Room, The Bookstore, eth except the students. We wanted to bring the Student Union back to the students. Fleschler said that plans suggested by the committee have been approved arid will be implemented by next fall. These plans include a fresh fruit drink and coffee bar, a lold-out stage, games, a large sound system, and lne Whittaker a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. The former book- store annex will be turned into a viewing room with a large screen TN. and a VCR. Pete Fosnough, Study Body President and space committee mem ber, said, It might take a year or two to catch on, but it will provide a valuable median for student interaction, breaking down the living unit seg- regation. Students now enjoy shopping in the new bookstore annex.

They're Here Freshman Move In Although it was probably cooler to wait until mid-morning, most freshmen ar- rived on DePauw's campus bright and early Saturday, August 23rd. After all , this was a BIG clay tmoving away from home and alb and besides, the first roommate gets the best bed, the best closet, and the best side of the room. As each freshman drove up with his or her parents, an upperclassman Orientation Leader appeared eager to help, at least until he saw how much luggage needed to be carried up, invariably, to the third or fourth floor. So, after what seemed to be about 20 trips, most freshmen were comfortably settled in their new homes, be it the Quad, BR, or Longden. Then the meetings began-one on liberal arts career planning, one with a faculty advi- sor, and one of greetings by President Robert Bottoms. During the breaks, stu- dents and parents squeezed in lunch, no doubt wondering whether the food would stay this good. After the required meetings subsided, parents began to slowly drift away, saying good-bye to their new college freshmen. As busy as the day had been , activities had just begun for the new students. The first Orientation group meeting, coupled with a cook-out in the Dells, was followed by an entertaining look at DePauw's history given by Dr. John Baughman. Then it was back to the dorms for introductory floor meetings to discuss hall policies. Finally, the first day had come to a close. Although it was Saturday night, most freshmen went to bed early in their new DePauw homes, ready to face col- lege Iife-tomorrow. 10 Orientation Brent Larson Waiting for her schedule printout is freshman Tara Sayre.
