I wish I could bring my horse to school, said Janella Edwards, Miss Rodeo Indiana 1977. She won the title for her excellent horsemanship and advanced to compete for the Miss Rodeo America crown in Oklahoma City. Pve been riding horses all my life, she said. Janella lives on a farm in Greencastle and has been riding quarter horses in competition since the age of five. She barrel raced, rode patterns, and conducted her horse through a series of maneuvers to win her title. Janella was a 4-H member for ten years and feels that is where she received the greatest amount of her knowledge on horses. At ISU Janella is a sophomore majoring in home economics.

The time has arrived. You've finally made it to college, and youire ready to start on your first completely new and terrifying experience, mov- ing into a dorm. The first big obstacle you face is finding some place to park your car. In front of the dorms every parking place is full, and there is a row of cars parked behind them. If you do decide to brave the traffic jam, and somehow manage to drive through the parking lot, you may happen to chance upon an unclaimed spot. More than likely, however, you will end up parking 3 block or more away. Once inside the dorm, you report to the desk to lfjnd out your room number. A hurried and wilted recep- tionist quickly Thands over that information, and off you go to find home. The elevators pose another big problem, as you quickly find out. The waiting line seems never to shrink as full loads of parents, siblings, and . , 3356K. 'llllmwr accessories are carried upwards to their destination. When you finally do reach your floor a smiling resident assistant signs you in and hands you a brown envelope containing all the rules of dorm life. The big moment finally arrives. Standing before a room with your name on the door, you turn the key and walk in only to find orange walls and blue curtains to go with your lime green bedspread! A moment of relaxation, then off you go to bring up your necessities. Arms overflowing, you stand precariously balanced, once again waiting on an elevator. All of the essentials of college living are to be seen, everything from stereos and lounge chairs, to teddy bears and pictures of Mom a Dad. You silently curse the fortunate few who managed to get their hands on a cartwhich- enabled them to wheel in belongings.

Looking up old friends andttshowing Mom and Dad the campus are also included in your schedule. Before you know it, the time comes for your first dorm cafeteria meal, an experience in itself! . Finally, the moment of parting arrives. Tearful goodbyes are ex- changed as Mom and Dad leave, and you find yourself truly on your own. The rest of the evening is spent trying to put everything in its place, rearranging furniture. meeting people on your floor, and maybe even reading the rules. At last, exhausted, you climb beneath the lime covers on your bed and close your eyes on your very first day at ISU: a representation of much more fun to come! ' rink, - ff'owe , .
