VELCOfiE HOME It ' s the same old scene every Septem- ber: fleets of vans and cars packed to the hilt with everything from the basic ne- cessities (food, detergent, stereos) to the not-so-common luxuries (couches, car- peting, toilet paper). And whether it ' s a dorm you choose (or are forced) to live in or an apartment or house you sublet, the hassle has to be faced. For many of the thousands who be- seige Ann Arbor, the moving-in process means one thing: a day of bodily torture. The initial suitcase-type stuffing of the vehicle is only the beginning. There is the drive to A 2 (obviously varying de- pending on the location of your abode), and then the strenuous hour or so of carrying all those things you deemed so necessary for existence: the plants, the clothes, the toasters, the chairs, the paintings, the posters ... all these little extra touches that mean extra trips up and down those extra stairs. And if the physical punishment isn ' t enough, there is more: all those little (but nonetheless necessary) tasks that you must remember to do upon arrival. Things like picking up your football tickets, opening a new bank account, culturing your new roommate, buying the required textbooks . . . such insanity is surely reserved for college students alone. For those of us not fortunate enough to have been born into the Rockefeller or Onassis families, job searching accom- panies the moving-in process. 10 Mo
