PROOF Our fine feathered friend seems very well adjusted to his non oquatic home. Despite the no pets rule in Brookwood. residents found ways to take in roommates of a different species.

In August, 1987 1,828 freshman arrive on campus bright-eyed and bushy-tailed wit various expectations about this new and ex citing phase of their lives. Each one of the freshmen had their own ideas of what th next four years would hold for them. Whil some of them realized the work that wa ahead of them, a large majority of the ne students felt that the word “semester” w synonymous with “three months vacation.1 However, they soon found that fun for seve days a week and 4.0’s did not go hand-in hand. Freshman were not the only ones with ex pectations for the upcoming semesters. Sen iors saw this as their year to kick back an relax and simply enjoy their last two semes ters as students. Many seniors, however, found this to be a farce falsehood. There were resumes to be printed, jobs to be found an loose ends to tie up before they could leav Biemesderfer Stadium with a degree in their chosen fields. In the same way, people in the surrounding community saw MG as a loud campus that disturbed their privacy at night. They were not aware, however, of the students who spent their spare time working part-time jobs to support themselves or participating in extra-curricular activities in which they learned leadership skills and responsibility. The residents of Millersville also did not see the students who worked so diligently to either maintain or attain a high GPA. These students were seen in Ganser Library until the doors closed at midnight writing papers and studying. All in all, there was a lot more to our fine institution of higher education than pounding a few at Brookwood or near-by bars. We also took our prospective futures seriously by studying hard, completing internships for experience and basically going to all lengths to Insure more promising chances after MG.
