A Different World As the sun rose above the trees east of the men ' s dorms, the residence staff quickly finished last minute preparations for the long day ahead. Anticipation in the air, the wait began for the arrival of the first freshmen. Between the easy atti- tudes and the nervous anxieties of the incoming freshmen, checl -in was a pot- pourri of emotional ups and downs. After all, these freshmen were entering Each coming for different reasons, with different hopes, expectations, and fears, all freshmen faced similar questions as they encountered this new way of living. How am I going to live with this stranger? Will people like me? What clubs do I want to join? Why did I bring so much junk and where am I going to put it? What are the easiest courses to take? And so the fresh- men settled into their havens away from the real world and tried to cope with their very new realities. Some had said goodbye to their parents for the first time with a mixture of sadness and excitement; sadness for leaving a place full of memo- ries and security, knowing that home would never be the same when they re- turned, and excitement in not knowing what the future had in store for them. The dorms soon became home and the stran- gers became family. The men had to learn to do laundry, and even some of the women were new to this chore. Both had the responsiblity of bud- geting their time and money. For most freshmen a checking account was a new thing. (They soon learned that rubber checks got a student in a lot of trouble.) To handle the extra burden of handling one ' s own finances, many students got jobs for the very first time — for others, though, it was old news. Almost everything that freshmen experienced their first two months at school was new. But after Thanksgiving college was an everyday event. ' !
