Feeling frightened and scared, and not quite knoLV- ing what to expect, you were a brand new student. The situation was even worse. You found your- self faced with unfamiliar people and places. No matter what your particular situation was. it was a scary and uncomfortable feeling. For Cheiko Fukazawa. her school was definitely a different situation. Being an exchange stu- dent from Japan. Cheiko had many new people and even cus- toms to learn. First, she had to get used to the different home setting, new family, as well as the country atmosphere of St. Hedwig. School was probably the big- gest change for Cheiko. with the different customs and rules. I found school in the United States to be not too much different from home. The hours are the same here but the appearance of the students is not. At her school these students must wear a uni- form and the girls cannot haue permed hair: it must be straight. There were many new things that were available for Cheiko to learn. I like the price of the lunches here. At home a lunch tray would cost me $3, Cheiko said. My favorite part of the year was the dress-up days. It remind- ed me of home. On January first we would all wear our kimonos to celebrate the new year. Cheiko said. Cheiko got to have her first big Christmas, because in Japan New Years is a bigger celebration. New Years is really a lot of fun. All my family and relatives, there ' s about 200. have a big par- ty at a hotel. Cheiko said. Cheiko ' s year was filled with making new friends and learning a new culture. She would like to come back to the United States one day. and of course, she will always be welcome. Jody Simmons CHERISHING NEW FRIENDS. It is always nice to make new friends. Meeting new people and building new relations can be refreshing. Cheiko Fukarawa has the opportunity to make all new friends, but not Just any type of friends. For Cheiko making American-friends is a first-time experience. Cheiko. Lori Marsh and Nicole Parker laugh Joyously about tales from her home in Japan.

student lives to rodeo SubmiUetl by Charies WiUUms ROUND ' EM UP. In one smooth stroke, Charles Williams aim lands perfectly around the neck of a calf. In this round he broke the calf roping time record for the day. With all the credentials, all the right animals, and the right at- titude Charles Willicims feels very confident he has a good chance in becoming the ' ' King of Rodeo. Chades describes rodeo as ' ' an excellent scholarship, and you can stay with it so long you will never have to punch a time clock. Run every now and then and ride my horse everyday, ' ' is what Charles does to stay in shape for the rodeo. Is rodeo a dangerous sport? It sure looks like it could be, so we asked Charles to explain the pain. Surprisingly enough, all that has happened to him was a small hand injury. Injuries could mean early retirement and when Charles retires he hopes to go into stock contraction, and train horses. In his spare time he en- Joys all the common sports. Charles was known around campus, not only for his very ev- ident rodeo skills, but also for his attitude. He was always willing to lend a hand and was kind and courteous to every student he en- countered. It was evident too, that he knows the meaning of the word sportsmanship. Vo matter what happened he was always a good sport.
