J ' c i i 'S s A f '- fi s Events end with a bang by joni Adams What's going on when students are belly dancing, eating the world's largest ice cream sundae, twisting to 50's tunes, eating 3,000 hamburgers, and learning all about campus organizations? New Student Week, of course. August 20-25, the first week of classes, was New Student Week for freshmen and transfer students. The week was a huge success, according to acting chairman Lynn Rhodes. The 13-member committee found the job particularly demanding this year because, due to complications, it was without an adviser and a chairman at the beginning of school. However, according to Rhodes, Everything just fell together. Saturday night kicked off the week's activities with a sock hop. This sound system dance was held in Tower's cafeteria. A large crowd of students filled the cafeteria for music, free popcorn, and soda. Sunday marked the traditional picnic on Academic Terraces. New Student Week members worked diligently to put together 2,000 sack lunches containing apples, oranges, potato chips, and 3,000 ham- burgers. - H f , I .- 133:42 x ., , -Lass tt ' : .5 .1 jx .fvsfgwwt , 'is . --f M..

The world's largest ice cream sundae highlighted Monday's activities. The giant creation consisted of 800 gallons of Clover Valley vanilla ice cream, eight gallons of chocolate topping, and one gallon of cherries. About 151,200 was spent on this luscious creation, and one van and one pick-up truck were required to deliver the ice cream. It was created in a child's size swimming pool behind Memorial Hall. About half of the sundae was left over after everyone had his fill, but Rhodes stressed the record was on construction not consumption. Tuesday was the Carnival of Clubs where about 45 campus organizations introduced themselves to students. This event was held at the University Center. Door prizes, special prices in the Recreation Center, free soda and popcorn, and cartoon showings in the snack bar attracted the crowd. The Crong Show was the Thursday night New Student Week activity. The judges included two speech professors, Dr. NEW STUDENT WEEK STEERING COMMITTEE, Left Right: Front Row: Nanci A.

SEMSU students make fall debut Seeing four stark, bare walls in a dormitory for the first or even the second time is usually anything but comforting. Home was never like this. But, neverthe- less, about 3,500 students moved in on a surprisingly cool August weekend. Packing and unpacking every precious item one has hoarded for the past 18 years into a tiny room often reminded students of the old adage of forcing a round peg into a square hole. But why not make that two or even three pegs in that board when the roommate or roommates arrive. SEMSU students were either in- troduced to or promptly reminded of the ever-present line. Parents had to wait in lines of cars, vans, and trucks to park, students had to wait in lines to pay social fees and register. There were lines for elevators and long lines to eat dinner. Parents and friends hoisted luggage, stereos, knicknacks, clothing, and assorted plants into empty rooms. Some dormitories proved a little more i K . 2, l - ,ki 1 ' 'px 1 A by joni Adams challenging to move into, claimed parents tired of waiting for overcrowded elevators at Towers. Students at University Hall delivered luggage to rooms in a more unusual way, however. They used carts from the operating room, remnants of the old hospital, convenient- ly to push luggage into vacant rooms. While freshmen moved in on Saturday and upper classmen on Sunday, most Creek residents played it smart and moved in earlier in the week to beat the crowd. Sororities planned the upcoming rush, and fraternities set up chapter rooms and lounges and often gave a helping hand to friends moving in. Posters covered bare walls, and treasured knicknacks were placed on empty shelves. Bit by bit, the rooms were transformed into homes away from home. On the other hand, off-campus residents had a different set of problems. These included direct contact with the community for the necessities such as the I .a . ,fp .1 . g ,A .

Deposits and rents were paid, initial investments that seemed very expensive. One could only contemplate how rich he'd be with returned deposits after moving from that location. Although off-campus roommates usually knew each other beforehand, clothing, knicknicks, draperies, furniture, and other items had to be fitted into apartments. While most apartments were much larger than university dorm rooms, when shared by two or three, there never seemed enough privacy or space. Many parents and new students felt it would take weeks to recover from the trauma of moving in. However, returning upperclassmen found this year's weather more condusive to moving in than years before. So, as school began, roommates became acquainted, and belongings found their own special niche in the new 9-month home. llwanwunq Moving into Dearmont are Cathy Schott and Mary Students bring radios or stereos to play music whil Stricker, both freshmen.
