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. The rest of the day seems to fly by in a flurry of close calls with others WWW MAMW 1M 1 Vf II I l mgad l WszAWW If I ll, E I '3' ngg'i; n i ta . 3. t04 t' V'b' m 4.9. ' ?yoler 7.1-9?

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 , .

Baskin Robbins lost out when the Union Board sold ice cream for a nickel a dip. Welcome back to ISU An Inexpensive and tasty treat was sewed at the soclal on Monday afternoon. Music on the Quad? Our Gang explosion? Gambling in the Union? Price reduction at the Grill? An inva- sion of little yellow coupon booklets heralded the onslaught of TMUB's an- nual Welcome Week. These coupon booklets were distributed by both bookstores, and one was also placed in each individual's mail box. The coupons contained in these booklets gave students discounts on meals in the Union Cafeteria, and great bargains on Grill food. There were also coupons for discounts on individual Welcome Week activities. such as a free scoop of ice cream or free entrance into a dance or a movie. Students found Welcome Week a welcome relief from the pressures of moving in and the hassle of registration. Monday August 23 began the week-Iong festivities with a dance and an ice cream social on the TMU patio. Students were treated to their choice of ice cream flavors for only a small fee. Our Gang movies were shown in Tilson Music Hall that evening, and a coffeehouse was presented in the Grill. Watermelon dominated Tuesday afternoon, as students purchased a slice for a dime. The fruit brought a welcome response from hot summer temperatures. Anyone wishing to stick around could participate in games such as frisbee, hopscotch, and badminton. An open house was held in the Union for anyone wishing to get out of the sun. Tuesday evening events lasted from Dusk to Dawn with students playing poker, Black Jack, ping pong, and pool; also a special Night at the Races was set up. Those students who didn't wish to join in on the gambling could go swimming in the Union Pool. Zoot , a rock band, played in the Heritage Room, and a coffeehouse was held in the Grill. Wednesday evening, students boogied to the music of Rage as part of a dance contest held in the Heritage Room. The movie Tommy was shown In Tilson Music Hall for those who preferred the music of Elton John, and the Grill was the scene of another coffeehouse. Thursday brought an end to the festivities, as students reluctantly trudged to class for the first time since summer break. Thursday evening more than compensated however, as students were treated to an outstan- ding performance by Barry Manilow and Lady Flash at Hulman Center.This concert highlighted the entire week's festivities, and students were overheard commenting on it weeks later. After such a full week, some students were actually glad to settle in a routine of classwork, while most of us were quite sorry to see it end. Barry Manilow started the long line of 76-77 concerts at HCUC when he appeared during Welcome Week. tS. Kuehlt
