GETTING OFF THE MTA no one knew what to expect. It was the first day of just a tew days for some, for others the first day of five long years. by Ken Boyce EVEN OUR FRESHMEN GIRLS were soon initiated when this sign somehow appeared above the door of the dorm. There were mixed emotions that day; it was warm and sunny and no one knew exactly what to expect. As we got off the MTA or rounded the turn from the North Lot, we were met with a sight that will remain with us as long as we remember Northeastern. Enclosed on three sides by large buildings of white brick was our class. Some of us gasped in disbelief, others shrugged in a display of bravado and moved into the milling mass, a few groaned about never being anything but IBM numbers, while the rest vowed to rise above it, and make his or her presence felt. There were strangers everywhere, sitting on the steps or on the benches around the trees in the quad, standing alone or in small groups of two and three, or lounging on the grass. Immediately, there was born a sort of kinship, a kinship of newness for, in this infancy, we were all brothers.
