Chaos was defined in Happy Valley as the confused unorganized state of 30,000 students, com- plete with 60,000 parents and assorted university employees, before the creation of distinct home-sweet-away-from- homes. This awe-inspiring phenomenon occurred August 19-23, and was affectionately referred to as Movin' In. The process of moving in began long before any student actually laid eyes on his or her individual dorm, apartment building, or fraternity house. Students in Everytown, USA were commonly observed writing mammoth lists of necessi- ties, and then racing to acquire them, usually at 2:30 A.M. the night before they were to move in. I packed six garbage bags full of clothes, a bag of cosmetics, my cat, and cat supplies, but only two books, claimed senior Sheri Feifer. Once the car was loaded and the journey got underway, students were free to ponder that great question: How am I ever going to find a parking place? As it turned out, they needn't have worried as the university had developed a color- Coded parking system complete with human traffic guides for precisely this purpose. It was almost like taking a trip to Disney World, where the parking areas are designated by Snow White, Dumbo, etc. Here we had yellow, blue, etc., said junior transfer Todd Arrowsmith. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences of moving in was the transportation of three suitcases, two garbage bags, one garment bag, and six odd boxes from an automobile parked two blocks away into one dusty room on the fourth floor. The strong-at-heart trudged up and down countless flights of stairs and called it exercise, while most were content to wait for the elevator. l'In order to get to the fourth floor, people had to transfer from the main elevator to the service elevator, which had no call button; we ran up and down the stairs all day looking for the elevator! laughed Orientation Leaders Janet Corson and Shelley Prettyman. is; i. . eby Anthony Piccioni The gang's all here.

ummortimo Dounion Friends Gather At Arts Festival -by Lisa Weisbrode What brought many students back to Happy Valley during the hottest week of July? A presseason football game? Sched- uling classes? No. The Arts Festival, of course! Relatively quiet in the summer, State College magically transformed into colorful sidewalk displays with water fountains and flowers. Alumni, children, parents and, of course, students poured into town to enjoy the festivities. But what was so great about Arts Festival? For most stu- dents, it was a time to reunite. It's a lot of fun walking around, looking at the booths, and bumping into people you haven't seen in awhile, noted Christine Negley. Arts Festi- val is usually the only time I get to see my friends from school w-VNNNNNNNNNNN all summer, said Julie Schirm. It was like cramming all of the good times of summer into one weekend!

For those with apartments, Arts Festival was a time of open Kim Alberter hospitality. It was great partying with all of my friends! laughed Paula Ducz. 'lSome people even slept on the balcony! Students also took advantage of the amazing arts and crafts offered at the Arts Festival. Although some couldn't afford the high price tags, many students bought paintings to decorate their dorms or apartments, and jewelry was also a hot item. Michelle Capone explained, I bought a pair of really unique earrings, ones that nobody else has and that I couldn't buy in a store. Entertainment was also a big hit with students. My favor- ite group, the Nylons, played - and for free! It was great relaxing on Old Main lawn after all of the heat! said Amy Schirra. For freshman Kevin Weisbrode, the Arts Festival gave me a chance to see the 'real' Penn State. I discovered waiting in lines, crowded parties and I met a lot of new people.
