Many new experiences were encountered by the New Kids in Town by robin rosenfeld freshman are people too. as the old saying goes, but on the first day of college, they probably wish they weren't. Classes aren't packed with friends you've had since fourth grade and the teachers are no longer teachers, they are professors. The first day of class will leave almost any freshman disoriented and exhausted. One of the biggest fears a freshman encounters is meeting the roommate. You wonder desperately if they speak English and you have nightmares about their pet fish. Jaws. Mo one can say that it Is easy to walk into a new room, unpack your life and immediately share it with a stranger. Nevertheless, a roommate could be the best thing that happens your freshman year. You help each other with Economics over a bowl of popcorn, teach each other how to iron and share special moments of home. On the other hand, roommates don't always agree, especially when It comes to music.

By the end of the Spring semester, freshmen have graduated from innocence and matured Into eager upperclassmen, finding their way around campus is no longer a task and doing laundry Is no longer a chore.

Modern fashion provided students with a new way to display their personal Touch by robin rosenfeld Wherever you look you see it. It is not just at MU, it is everywhere. Without it, life would be boring. It adds flair, appeal and substance to everyone’s existence. It provides for happiness and imagination as it heightens every occasion. Most of all, it is, and will always be. a necessary element in every society. Style ... so very hard to explain yet everyone has it as they displayed their personal touch across the Millersville campus. It is everything you see. Fashion comes in expressions of fatigues, angora sweaters, striped jeans, hightop sneakers. Izods, oversized shirts and sweatshirts, and narrow legged pants. This was the year where virtually everything was in style. Fashionably speaking, a sophomore Qaige resident feels, Style isn’t what you wear, it’s how you wear it.
