These upperclassmen looked forward to the be- ginning of school and partying on the Lair plaza. A few Beta brothers got carried away at the Greek block party on Belmar Ave. Scott Pruitt and Ron Robertson managed to get moved in despite the amount of steps they walked. Beginning of school 1 1

Many students and their parents were in- volved with the moving-in procedures at Boreman Hall. Startin ' all over again Summer flew by this year; it always does. But this summer was a little different in that Mount St. Helens erupted and blew ashes all over Oregon. However, nothing was different for us. We had to pack once again and head for Morgantown and another year of academia and whatever. Whatever, students loaded their cars and trans- ported their paraphenalia. Before their first class on Aug. 25, students could enjoy registration lines, financial aid bat- tles, book store hunts, and the Pickers, who per- formed on Sunday. True, mass confusion was evident the first few weeks of ' 80- ' 81, but every student did have A FRESH START. Not only did the beginning of school indi- cate a lot more students on campus, but a lot more PRT breakdowns. Freshmen immediately became acquainted with the dormitory food at Boreman and the long lines in order to get it. 1 Beginning of school

Joseph Gluck ' s concern for students is so great that the 1981 Monticola is dedicated to him. My father would have said, ' Take this job and stuff it There is one man who has been affiliated with WVU for 35 years and refuses to break off his ties no matter what, stating that If WVU chose not to keep me on, I ' d be tempted to pay them, because I like it that much. This man is Joseph Gluck and he strives to help students in whatever ways he possibly can. Gluck started as a student and it took him nine years to graduate. He had so many options to take, but couldn ' t decide upon which one. Finally, he chose history. Due to his indecision, Gluck feels that finding a job is more irr portant than choosing a job and trying to fit into it, when it may be too late. Gluck held seven positions relating to students and has found this problem to be the one students experience most. Now, as a special counselor, he sees it even more. I like to work with students, but they are not sure of what they want. If you know what suits you according to your talents, you should do that. Ev- ery single person in this world has enough talent to do something well and enjoy it. Gluck feels if you enjoy what you ' re doing. Why not get paid for it? Gluck feels college is a critical time in a person ' s life. You only live once in this world; you don ' t get a second life. So do the enjoyable thing. I ' ve been a lucky person. I ' ve been hand- ed a profession I enjoy. I hope you ' re as lucky, stated Gluck. 12 Gluck dedication
