Frosh View: The Traditional Dear Mom and Dad, Hey, this isn ' t high school, you know? I mean hke I ' ve gone to bed no earlier than 3:00 a.m. this week. Somehow or other, I ' ve come to feel like a number. There are as many kids in my psychology lecture as there were in my graduating class. At orientation I thought this place was like summer camp with so many counselors running around teUing you to go to bed. It ' s different now. We never have to be in the dorm. In fact, I could drop dead and no one would find out for weeks. At times I feel like I ' m swimming around in a sea of freshman beanies. There ' s so much to do, but don ' t get me wrong, I study a lot, but somehow I don ' t think I ' m long for UMass. Well, I ' ve a mile walk ahead of me to the Southwest dorms to see this girl I met the other day. It ' s a study date, of course, so, good-bye. Mai P.S. Send money. Look to either side. One of you will not be here four years from now. ' The Lederles and the Tippos receive freshmen at annual welcome tea. 18
