It's your move Moving-in day. A day that was exciting for some frightening for others hectic for all. A day in which events stood out as something unique to each individual. Whether it was climbing up five flights of stairs with heavy boxes and arms about to break, attempting to decorate half a room, meeting new people, or leaving home for the very first time. There was something for everyone to remember. I was excited to move in, but I was scared too, Glenda Beauman, a freshman from Grandview, said. Jeannie Pierce, also a freshman from Grandview, said she was excited about moving in but knowing that mom and dad wouldn't be there anymore was a frightening thought. Beauman and Pierce were roommates in Wells Resident Hall and came to Springfield together, so moving in wasn't as hard for them as it was for those who came down by themselves. At least they had each other to lean on. I was really excited to move in, to decorate my room and get everything in place, Kelly Priess, a freshman from St. Louis, said. She also said the hardest thing about moving to Springfield was missing her boyfriend who attended Indiana University. A junior from Kansas City, Peggy Mulligan, who lived off campus, said moving in was not a big deal, at least not as big a deal as when she was a freshman. I felt a lot more comfortable with Springfield because I knew my way around campus and the city. I also knew more people and felt more confident as a student, she added. Whether moving into a dorm, an apartment or a house, the crazy memories of moving in will always remain. fBe1owj CLIMBING THE STAIRS, in Freddy, Katie Locke moves in. fl-Zightj PILING IN THE ELEVATOR, men help the women of Woods haul belongings upstairs.

General Hospital so watch. Soap operas move at such slow pace that it isn't ifficult to keep up by watching as little as one show a week. Karen Masterson, a freshman from Kennett, said, I watch them whenever I pan. I wouldn't skip a class bust to watch a soap, though. t Soap operas are attractive to students because the characters deal with real life situations such as drugs, sex, divorce and human relationships as a whole. This makes the characters easy to identify with. Soap opera characters face the same problems in soaps as students are forced to face daily. Shelly Sanders, a sophomore from Republic, said I think they're fun. They make me think my problems are smaller in relation to everything else. Soap operas are not difficult to get hooked on. Accidentally sitting down for one show with the right people is enough to familiarize a person with every character on a show, and each of their deep dark secrets from the past. Lee Bodenhausen, a junior from Plattsburg, started watching GH because of his roommates. At 2:00, you either watch that, QGI-IJ, or 9' if .. -, sim'-www if 'rs nothing at all, he said. The GH syndrome is wide spread and it is being capitalized on. There are 'I Love Luke and Laura' and 'General Hospital Fanatic' t-shirts, General Hospital happy hours at bars, and even a new song' out entitled 'General Hospi-Talel' What's in the future for General Hospital? Will Luke and Laura remain happily married forever after? Will Noah Drake ever settle down and be satisfied with only Bobbie? Will Alan and Monica really divorce? Tune in, weekdays at 2:00. THE SOAP OPERA WEDDING of the year brings tears to many eyes on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 16-17. Students gathered in the Bears Den to watch the event on the giant screen TV. THE WIDESPREAD POPULARITY oi' General Hospital spread to Nick Franke, a sophomore from Springfield. He wears a scrub shirt bearing the name of the newest heart throb of the soap, Dr. Noah Drake, also known as rock star Rick Springfield.
