.gc-.z..um.:4.. -. ... Hg., .-f Sweltering Heat, Elevator Breakdown And A Variety Of Other Problems Can Make The Transition To Dorm Life hat a pain. There were so many papers to sign. Boy, I got so hot. I had to do it twice the first week. These were responses students had to the kick-off event of the school year - moving in. Moving in is a labori- ous task. Some people seem to have more trouble than others. Underclassmen seemed to ex- perience more difficulty than upperclassmen. Elevators were a problem for Kim Oswalt, a freshman crimi- nal justice major, and others moving into the upper floors of White Hall. lnoperable eleva- tors forced Oswalt and her par- ents to use the stairs to move her belongings into her seventh floor room. Seven flights of stairs got awfully boring after a while, she said. The move took OswaIt's family several hours. Penny Wade, a sophomore accounting major, experienced different problems with the ele- vator. I dropped my keys down the elevator shaft in Eli- zabeth HalI, said Wade. The keychain not only held the key to her room, but also keys to her house and her boyfriend's car. Driving was out of the question, as was leaving her Campus Life A Mo ing Experience room without her roommate's key until maintenance workers were able to recover her key- chain. Having all the comforts of home was important for fresh- man pre-pharmacy major Jen- nifer ltsy Galloway, who in- sisted on bringing a friend along - a three-foot panda bear she can't sleep without. In the course of moving in, Galloway's parents suggested that she begin to unpack while they finished unloading her car. Unfortunately, they had forgot- ten about the huge panda. Feel- ing embarrassed, neither par- ent could be persuaded to es- cort the bear to his new Woods Hall home. After a period of dis- cussion, only one solution seemed clear - throw a sheet over the panda and deliver him to their daughter in cognito. Austrailian exchange stu- dent Warren Cirau experienced problems of an entirely differ- ent nature in his two-day move from Brisbane to Murray. The baggage compartment of his plane was not pressurized. When the plane took off, a can of shaving cream in one of his suitcases exploded, shattering a bottle of cologne next to it. He unpacked two days later. Despite the numerous prob- lems faced by the first - and second-year students, upper- classmen seem to have moving in down-pat. Junior Robyn Falwell reported, I had a great time! My parents came down with some of their friends and we had it done in no time. Al- though few were as enthusias- tic as Falwell, most shared the sentiments of senior Scott Be- low. lt was no big deal, Be- low said, I drove the U-haul down and moved my stuff into my apartment. Sometimes it is true that the best surprise is no surprise. Barry Hancock, a resident adviser in Hart Hall, has seen some strange moves - like two guys who moved a stereo in and then threw it out the win- dow after discovering that it wasn't working properly. When it comes to moving in, one student claims the top spot in his memory. One new resident on Han- cock's floor came to move in without ever having seen his room. He pulled up with a U- haul holding a refrigerator, a couch, a couple of lounge chairs said Hancock. He was disappointed to find that he didn't have quite as much LOOK OUT MURRAY, HERE WE COME! Hester Hall residents begin the weary tradition of moving in. room as he thought he would. Although it wasn't exactly what she exprected, Elizabeth Hall resident adviser, Corinne Teutere said she had no prob- lems with students moving in this year. According to Teu- tere, the most important thing to do as an R.A. the first week, aside from decorating doors and bulletin boards, is getting to know the residents and set- ting the mood for the floor. The first week I didn't think l'd like it. I had more duties than I thought I would, ad- mitted Teutere, But I think I have the best floor in Elizabeth! Everything has gone real well. After the first week when ev- eryone moves into the halls one might think the confusion is over. However for some, their problems have just begun. There are always those who want different roommates, dif- rooms, different halls. ferent Some people just decide to go home. The truth is that the chore of getting all of the stu- dents settled into rooms lasts well into the semester. So if you managed to move in without any misfortunes, congratulations. If all your tow- els are on the kitchen table at home, if you lost your key the
