Moving In 12 Turbulent flight of migrating Just 05 birds fly south in winter, 0 stronge migrotion occws in Terre Houte every year. Only this journey takes place in the early fell 05 students travel from all over the store and o few other ploces to live in one of the twelve residence holls for the duration of the school yeor. Pandemonium reigned over the campus the first few days after the halls opened about 7,000 students flocked into their previously assigned rooms. The process begon or home 05 the student pocked his life into ossorted suitcases, boxes, ond milk crotes. Hoving done this, these necessities were loaded into the cor, usually with the aid of o relieved parent. The boggoge, along with the student, was then transported to the campus, and the whole process began again in reverse; After making several trips from the cor to the room, or in some luckier cases, 0 single trip with the help of 0 moving bin, the assorted boxes were unpacked, end the room began to take on 0 new shope. A shortage of space become immediately opporent for many students 05 they realized they owned or brought too much. In some cases, this dilemma wos tripled os 50 rooms were mode to occommodote three people by adding on extro bed and desk to the olreody tight quorters. These triple rooms were divided up, however, as students were given new room assignments 05 more space become available. Reolizing that they would be spending seven months living on compus, most students transformed their room into 0 home. The stondord bed, desk, dresser, bookshelf, and mirror were not enough for most students. Some of life's little luxuries included 0 rented refrigerator, 0 television set, and 0 stereo or rodio. These things were just the basics, however, ond some students odded finishing touches that reflected their own style. Deciding they did not like the color of their four walls, some opted to point the room with the university- supplied moteriols. Others found 0 rug added another splash of color and comfort. Posters, plants, and knick-knocks joined the collection in on effort to make the room unique and cozy. This, in addition to clothes and toiletries times two roommates, packed the room, often leoving students with no idea of where to put their books. When all this was completed, which sometimes took 0 couple of u. artwork, ., weeks, the migration come to on ' end as students settled down for two semesters of college living until the time that they would flock back home for the summer months.- Movlng blns are in high demand because they facilitate the moving in process.
