i Tanya Oran, Star! Mo ving info fhe dorm, meefing wifh advi- sors and registering for classes are all places where we meet new friends. This fall our enrollment Increased 3.5 per- cent over last year, represenfing fhe high- esf increase in the Slate Universify and Communify College Sysfem. Although we came from man y diverse backgrounds, ex- ,oeriences, and localities we soon found our- selves on common grounds -- E TSU. Affer rushing around fo gel the insfrucfors wanted and fhe classes required, we were off. Day in and day ouf we wenf lo our classes, fook nofes, sfudied for fesfs, worked on homework assignmenfs, wrofe papers, and somehow found lime fo make friends. Somefimes if was fhe person sifling nexf lo you in class, who was confinually lafe, or fhe person do wn fhe hall in fhe dorm fhaf kept asking fo borrow your clofhes. Maybe if was fhe commuter student who fell asleep at fhe slop sign and rear-ended your car. We spenf hours on end fogefher in fhe library studying - socializing wifh fhe heal sef on 98 degrees. We walked the long walks and grass paths from Davis Apart- ments lo fhe intramural fields together. As time passed our circle of friends increased. We also began fo fake bifs of E TSU home lo our families and friends on our frequent weekend laundry trips. Sometimes we look our roommafe home with us, especially if he was a long way from home. Some of us are nof alfogefher familiar with everyfhing fhaf happens at E TSU, be- cause we arrive at seven or eighf a.m., sif through our classes, sfudy and research in fhe library, eal a meal or two in the cafefe- ria and return home. Some of our commuf- ers fravel long distances while others only walk down the sfreef. The imporfanf facfor is that no maffer who we are, where we came from, how we gel here or how much we are in volved, we are a part of E TSU 4982. Our friendships and relationships will lasf in our minds along wifh square roofs, and debifs and credits, lines per inch and Bayes theorem. After all, we are here fo learn nof only abouf fheories and applications buf about people and re- lafionships. wmvmmmxmm R??TEWIWKX xmmmmmuw 3 OPENING
