These are just a few expressions you hear on moving in day. Fortunately, the ritual known as t'moving my whether it involves moving into a dorm, an apartment, or the houseW occurs only twice a year. Nearly all students have experienced the frustra- tions of moving into a dorm at some time while attending UK, unless they commute to classes. On moving in day you must sign in, obtain a room key, get a mailbox number, locate your room, and greet your roommate. Finding a parking space is next to impossible so you park by a yellowastriped curb and hope the Campus Police don't really hand out parking tickets at such a confusing time. Then you have to wait half an hour for an elevator in the towers or walk up three flights of stairs to take suitcases, boxes, and trunks to your room. Moving in is followed by such delightful activi- ties as buying books which usually requires more than oney . . that will be $68.40 and would you n u

Brown, New Dean by MARY AMIDON Darlene Brown, Dean of Women and Panhellenic advisor, was quite ex- cited with her new post and first job. The university has created a whole new dimension to my lite; it's really funny because I've found myself as being contentf' She was a 1973 graduate of the Uni- yer: y of errnont where she received A Masters in Education majoring in student personnel in higher education. Previously Brown attended Ohio Unie versity where she received a BS in journalism. Dari 1t? remarked her education he- mme ntuCh more r ii to her because she used it in h ioh whether it. be exprr-asint; my f on paper or deal- ing with pecplef HYet i've learned more in four months as Dean of Women an I learn in two years of graduate school. Lihm, the sign of balance and opti- under which she was born, Characterized Brown's attitude.

UK's fraternities followed this trend in pledging more men 'this school year than they had in number of years. Approximate- ly 550 Greek men were added to the roster, 325 pledging in the fall, and 225 in the spring. Danny Bullock, vice-president of lntrafraternity Council, was in- strumental in increasing the fra- ternity numbers. Following the theme, Forget everything you already think you know about UK's 21 fraternities. See them as they really are, Bullock orga- nized the '74 Spring Rush Kick- Off Dance. To the music of APOCRYPHA, fraternity men met several hundred interested rush- ees. , The results were quite satisfy- ing. The Kick-Off Dance took the edge off of introductions at indi- vidual fraternity houses and made rush more personaliied. Through rush, Greek men were getting together again. Bullock said it very well in a brief speech at the Kick-Off Dance, Meet old n-crease by 1504 friends ones. Sorority membership also en? joyed an increase during the past few years and this year was no exception. t Four hundred fifty women moved into their dorms for rush a week before the fall term be- gan. Members of alI T14 sororities assisted the rushees in moving in. Later in the day,. an open house for the rushee's parents and an introduction to the Pan- hellenic Council was heId. The next day rushees attended a Jersey Swap where each Greek girl swapped Jerseys with a girl in another sorority. Entertaining skits were presented in the Alum- and ,make some new ' ni Gymnasium by a representative from each sorority. Open houses, parties, preference night and pledging filled the rest of the week. ' . ' Spring rush was less structured and more relaxed. Rushingiwas more personalized with fewer girls participating. The schedule of events was basically the same, though on a smaller scale. f
