hall was also an All-State wrestler, or a cheerleader at your high school's arch- rival. How many other people from your hometown did you meet after you got here that you didn't even know were coming to ONU? It's really a small world. How long was it until you learned where everything was in your new home? First priorities include finding the pop machine, television, laundry room, and kitchenette. What about Ending the tele- phone? A person can be out of breath by the time she reaches a phone call on 3rd floor Lima when her dorm room is on 3rd floor Brookhartl Certain things that freshmen bring with them to college represent their hobbies and personalities. A guitar case indicates an interest in music, a teddy bear in- dicates a cuddly and lovable person, a stereo is symbolic of a rock fan, and plants typify nature-lovers. Of course, some of the more unusual room furnish- ings range from sheets Cto be used as temporary wall paperj to plush shag car- peting. Posters and wall hangings also help to add that personalized at home atmosphere. After all the moving men Qrelatives corraled into coming to help move you inj have gone, it's time to survey the stacks of clothes, bulging boxes, and 'mass mess' lying on what should be your bed. Where am I going to put all this stuff? Trying to find a place for everything is your first college assignment. If you don't get a passing grade, your roommate may fail you - permanently. - Marge McBurney 27

Freshmen Afrfrive In Full Fofrce What do the following items have in common: hall trees, bean bag chairs, over- loaded cardboard boxes, and stereo sets? Many of these things were items that people of all ages, shapes, and sizes were carrying through parking lots and dormi- tory halls on September 5, 1976. The newest crop of Ohio Northern University students, freshman-style, had arrived on campus. Leaving home for the Hrst time brings out everyone's sentimentality - shown by the types and number of items that people pack for college. Girls, more often than guys, will overload the car with knick-knacks, high school momentos, and picture albums. Of course, any guy is happy with just a stereo. Turning a bare dorm room into a home away from home is a difficult task. With just a little ingenuity and some coopera- tion from your roommate, a desolate 8 x 10 room can be transformed into a mini- apartment complete with areas for study- ing, sleeping, and just plain relaxing. Meeting all your new neighbors is an interesting experience. Someone in your X It ., ?'i'f- H S l'1 - -,

Wilson Art Center' Open For Students In Fall L ,gui ..',......4..a.--.- j:--gr4T3-,-L':5-,- - - - ,m--1--.... 3'7 ' '-,f',i',,,1V 'f 'f 5i ' Last February, a new art building was barely a rumor. But this fall, art majors returned to find a spacious new art com- plex - quite a change from art's old locations in Terrace House and Brown Building. Ground for the new building was bro- ken the first of April with completion scheduled for November. Due to hard e work and good weather, however, when .4 classes started in September, art majors were in their new home. Housed inside are offices, lounge, printroom, lecture s ' 1 in ' ., .. 1 , s we 413, room, and studios for arts and crafts, lg- drawing, painting, and designing. The ' ' r l gl most distinctive feature is the octagon li gallery where rotating exhibits feature both professional and student work. Students and professors can now be found eagerly working, anxious to take advantage of the maximized space and new equipment in the studios. One cannot possibly appreciate the new building's luxury unless he has sat in the old Terrace building elbow to elbow with other stu- dents trying to draw in a room that is 820, that trembles and rocks when the heat does come on,and that houses ceram- ics in a quonset hut or unless he has tried to work in the old Brown Memorial, where one could put his fist through the pasteboard wall with little or no effort. No longer in a building that is a makeshift eyesore, the art department now has a proud new home at ONU. 28
