I The Gateway Experience young man got out of his car and looked nervously around. It was over' stuffed with clothes, boxes, and stereo speak- ers. His dad said. I think it is that one over there. Another young man, wearing a Gate' way tee-shirt, came over to them and smiling- ly asked, Can I help you! A look of relief appeared on the freshmans face as he quickly accepted the help. They were in the parking lot on Mans Hill near Brown dorm with a lot of other people who were moving in. Several of these were wearing the light blue Gateway tee-shirts, signifying that they were a part of the Gateway staff. Many freshmen started the year this way on Friday, August twenty-third. They had ar- rived early to participate in freshman orienta- tion otherwise known as GATEWAY. The Gateway staff consisted of returning students who were there to help the freshmen get used to their new home and start to make friends. Why did students volunteer to come back to school early and work! Many of the staff members had just wanted to meet the freshmen, but other reasons were much more personal. One staff member explained. When I came to Mars Hill, I don't remember having a Gateway member say hello to me. I didn't want someone else to have that same feeling. During Gateway. activities planned by the staff were interspersed with meetings that helped the students Staff their college career, The activities were definitely the highlights. The first activity was the staffs talent show during which they performed skits. The most remembered skit was the staffs re-creation of the video We Are The World in which Ray Luther, a senior musical theater major, per- formed as Stevie Wonder. On Saturday. there was a dance in McConnell featuring Sid the Surf. Monday. while the rest of the upper- classmen moved in. Gateway sponsored re- creation activities on Fox Hill. Ray Luther, a Gateway staff member, said this about Gateway, I really have enjoyed Gateway because it helps to create a sense of community among the freshmen and upper- classmenf' EI -DeeAnn Peterson Student Life: Gateway I1
