• I’M GLAD RUSH STARTED THE SAME DAY I MOVED IN. I WAS SO BUSY, THERE WASN ' T TIME TO GET HOMESICK. -ALLISON MARCELL MOVING -•- Chaos was everywhere. Cars lined the street while drivers looked for an elusive parking space. Dollies clanged into doors. Stacks of boxes wob¬ bled as students carried them down the halls. Elevators were crowded and not easily available. Tears mixed with laughter. I had to drive five hours in the rain to get here, freshman Lisa Smith said. It was the worst day of my life. A majority of the University ' s on-campus stu¬ dents moved into their residence halls Aug. 18. Many came on the first day because Rush was to begin that night. Others came because they had loan meetings and work study interviews to attend during the next week. Many students had trouble finding a parking spot near their dorms so they could unload their belongings. My dad kept driving around while my mom and I moved stuff into my room, freshman Susannah Patton said. When he finally found a space it was really far away. As parents said their teary good-byes, students prepared for the coming year by meeting their roommates and resident assistants and getting ready for Rush. -Jennifer Wallace 16 ’ MOVE-IN DAY

John Haghany measured his desk to make sure his computer would fit. Students measured their rooms to determine how to arrange their belongings. In Yocum Hall ' s 9 ' 8 X 14 ' rooms, every bit of space was precious. Photo by Wes Grubbs John Haghany, David Webb and Cassy Stanley were lucky to get a cart from Yocum Hall to help them move in. Carts and dollies were the preferred means of moving belong¬ ings, and both were scarce. Parents and RAs helped students move in. Photo by Wes Grubbs I here were many long lines of new residents waiting for elevators on Move-In Day. These students and parents in Humphreys Hall were willing to wait with their belong¬ ings, rather than try to use the stairs. Photo by Wes Grubbs MOVE-IN DAY ’ 17
