jaieiQ “Dr. John” shows KSC students a few tricks with his frisbee on a hot afternoon. Frisbees, fun for first week Students were welcomed to KSC by a fun filled week of activities. ARA sponsored a barbecue, which the students enjoyed after a hot after- noon moving into the residence halls. The second event of Back To School Week ’82 was an outdoor dance with Jolly Roger performing. The students enjoyed listening and dancing to the music while meeting new and old ac- quaintances. Midway through the week, students were invited to attend Playfair: the Ul- timate Icebreaker”. The games and activities are designed for students to make new friends and renew old friendships. As the week began to wind down, one last highlight was a frisbee show on the east lawn of Copeland Hall by John Houck and his partner, Donnie Rhodes. — Becky Phelps Everyone wants to get in on the act as they spend an enjoyable afternoon on the east lawn of Copeland Hall during Playfair.

Moving day is like stampede The hard task of carrying heavy boxes and suitcases up steps in the dorms was made easier with help from family members and friends. Ingenious male students discovered they could meet many new girls by offering to help carry their belongings. Moving in was easy for veterans of dorm life, but newcomers may have found that they brought several unnec- essary things that took up space in their already cramped dorm rooms, and didn’t think of bringing other items that would have been very useful. A few months later, most students were comfortable in their new surroundings. What a difference a semester makes. — Becky Phelps Mary Kay Roper, Lincoln, unloads her belongings from her car. Using muscle power to move into Men’s Hall. Students and parents patiently wait for the elevator in Centennial Towers East.

Students untie 'apron strings' Attending college means moving away from home and beginning a new way of life for many students. It also means learning to do one’s own house- keeping, laundry and cooking. The ma- jor lesson for dormitory residents is learning to get along with people. In some cases, two roommates will share a room no larger than 13 feet by 18 feet. By the end of the semester they may end up good friends or worst en- emies. Living in the dorms also adds its own brand of social life. Activities have in- cluded floor taco parties, video take- out movies and semi-formal dances. The students living off-campus have a lot more freedom than the on-cam- pus residents. They have no resident advisers to remind them of visitation hours or to tell them to turn down their stereos. Some are lucky enough to get an apartment only a block or two from campus, but others may have a longer distance to travel to get to class. No matter where the students choose to lie, they learn to take care of themselves, with the help of friends, roommates and, often, mom and dad. — Becky Phelps D.J.
