i Stuffed Every nook of the car had something in it. Every box was crammed with necessities and trivia. People who braved moving in shuddered to think moving out would come too soon. Television sets came. Wrinkled clothes were pulled from cars and added to the stack of paraphernalia. Necessary munchables were stashed somewhere deep inside the corrogated cardboard boxes. It was called moving in. Most people took it lightly and took the hassle of carrying the heavy containers up dormitory stairs or through crowded elevators with ease, but it was rougher for some than others. Moving in was only half the process, however. The other half started at the homes of the part-of-the-year Bowling Green resi- dents. People who moved from short distances had relatively few problems as they could return home for forgotten items. Lisa Ellis, a freshman resident of Rodes-Harlin Hall, said she brought about one-third of her stuff on Saturday before registration. “| just brought the things for my room that first day and it was easy,” she said. “The hardest thing about moving in was finding a place to park.” Students who moved in the dorm from Bowling Green homes had little trouble, too. Freshman Kathy Bryant said she also started moving on Saturday morning before registra- tion. “I'd been preparing a week before, filling boxes with towels and clothes and | came with about half of my stuff,” she said. ‘For two or three days | kept remembering stuff | needed.” Miss Bryant explained the reason why she chose to live in the dormitory instead of at home. ‘In college you don’t meet many people in class,’ she said. “| came to a dorm to meet girls and get involved in a lot of activities.” Other students moved to college but found it difficult to leave situations at home. David Aldridge, a junior from Se Ree and David Vincent, a sophomore from Mammoth Cave, both said returning to campus the last of summer made it difficult on their fathers since they helped with work on their farms. Vincent said he returned home a couple of times during tobacco cutting season to help his father. Aldridge said he had to go home to help almost every weekend because “‘there’s always something to be done.” Some people moved into difficult situa- tions. Melinda Reynolds, a freshman from Cave City, moved into a dormitory wing where she was the only freshman among upper classmen. “| wanted to meet new people, but I’m not very good at that,’ she said. ‘Everybody knew everybody and | felt left out.” Miss Reynolds said she soon began mak- ing friends on her floor. “They knew a lot of things | didn't know,” she said. “| knew just from listening to them that they were a little wiser and | had a lot to learn.” She also said she did not know how much to bring and was embarrassed that her room was bare. ‘Everybody's room had stuff accumulated and | felt funny because | didn’t have anything,” she said. @y Stereo equipment, albums and tapes were the first things Terri Pesoat unpacked when she moved in East Hall. Miss Pesoat said she could not bring her sewing machine but managed to bring it one month later. oving In Bringing enough belongings to carry a person through an entire semester is one of the tricks Cindy Page of Owensboro learned that all students have to master. Miss Page helped a friend move in Rodes- Harlin. Transferring a rented university refrigerator from the housing office located in Potter Hall was part of the moving process for Lisa Ellis and her mother, Mrs. Jack Ellis. They used their car for part of the move to Rodes- Harlin, but Miss Ellis said it was very difficult to find a parking place near the dormitory. She is a Franklin native.
