to  step  away 
from  the  usual

ratingly  novel  period  (f  understand 
that  this  makes  that  new  sandwich 
sound  like  a  big  deal)  or  a  burden 
from  which  you  hope  to  learn  some- 
thing (a  stomach  ache?). 

Whether  we  avoid  it  or  not, 
chance  happens.  Here,  !  examine  an 
approach  I  used  when  facing  sonic- 
fun  choices  during  m>  acclimation  to 
group  dynamics. 


Recently,    I    had    the    unfortu- 

[i.ne  opportunity  to  see  some  of  my 
friends  d.ibhlc  with  j  certain  illegal 
substance  1  wasn't  too  keen  on  be- 
ing around  or  trying.  1  abstained  ami 
left  feeling  uncomfortable,  not  only 
about  the  situation  at  hand,  but  also 
about  the  fact  ihat  my  friends  were 
potentially  jeopardizing  their  rela- 
tionship with  me. 

The  lifestyle  and  habit  was  unat- 
tractive and  I  was  faced  with  a  dilem- 
ma: find  new  friends  or  help  ,id|usi 
old  ones.  While  some  choices  seem 
obvious,  it's  always  more  of  a  chal- 
lenge ihau  we  think  to  remove  our- 
selves from  within  our  groove  and 
lind  something  different.  Yet,  some- 
times change  is  necessary. 

Ultimately,  1  didn't  want  to  throw 
away  friendships  that  I  had  spent 
time  developing-  Anything  you  put 
lime  into  with  limited  expectations 
is  a  risky  investment  of  time.  And 
whose  time  is  more  important  than 

A  group  of  people  will  always 
direct  you  toward  a  certain  path.  The 
hard  tiling  is  realizing  when  it's  time 
for  different  people  in  your  life  and 
then  acting  upon  it.  Many  times  we 
allow  our  social  situation  to  trump 


our  own  individual  beliefs  or  bi 
aries  because  conformity  is 
comfortable. 

Thai's  why  1  find  it  important  I

2.  Members'  proximity:  some- 
times simply  being  around  people 
regularly  is  enough  to  make  people 
feel  like  they  belong. 

3.  Adherence  to  group  norms: 
one  or  two  members  deviate  a  lot  or 
many  members  deviate  a  little.

other  time  of  year?  One 
thi--  thought  careful  analysis  before 
jumping  to  a  conclusion.  Not  only 
are  there  natural  factors  that  we  must 
take  into  effect,  but  there  are  also 
man-made  factors,  and  I'm  not  just 
talking  cops  and  robbers  here.  While 
criminals  love  summer  for  their  own 
reasons,  it  is  mostly  because  of  hu- 
man error  that  we  must  be  careful. 

So  here  are  my  tips  tor  things  to 
watch  out  for: 

1.  Every  summer  we  hear 
about  tons  of  people  who  cither  end 
up     injuring     themselves,     burning 


down  a  house  or  accidentally  calch- 
ing  someone  on  lire  because  of  fire- 
works. If  I  can  offer  you  one  piece 
of  advicc--don't  be  that  idiot.  It  isn't 
terribly  iliflicuh  lo  use  common  sense 
and  precaution  is  It? 

Now  I  know  we  all  gel  excited 
when  we  see  sparkly  things  in  the  .or 
or  on  the  ground,  but  come  on,  just  let 
someone  else  make  that  mistake  and 
spare  yourself  the  embarrassment. 

2.  My  next  qualm  with  summer- 
time is  sunburns.  Again,  don't  be  that 
fool.  I'm  all  about  a  nice  tan,  don't  get

Said  Said  Something 
again 

By  Said  El-Dajani 


While  trying  to  a  build  a  business 
during  one  year  of  my  life  I  was  re- 
petitively lokl  to  think  big  and  dream 
big.  When  I 


1  mug 


young.  I  had  a  very 
11,  dreams  and  ambi- 
,  slowly  disintegrated  as  the 
ol   responsibility  that 


with  age,  gender 

Even  though  I  may  not  have  been 
ready  to  commit  to  a  business  at  the 
time  1  pursued  it,  I  realized  that  I 
wauled  to  learn  as  much  as  I  could  to 
be  prepared  tor  whatever  endeavors 
came  my  way.  The  biggest  problem  1 
found  with  thinking  big  was  starling 
big  whereas  building  a  foundation 
and.  developing  a  process  usually  is 
more  effective. 

After  graduating  high  school. 
I  took  the  initial  route  of'  attending 
Purdue  Universal)  in  West  Lafayette. 
1  thought  the  transition  to  indepen- 
dence would  be  smooth,  I  was  look- 
ing forward  to  being  on  my  own, 
making  my  own  decisions,  and  more 
importantly,  building  an  academic  fu- 
ture thai  would  carry  me  on  to  a  lifc- 


inierestcd  wilh  my  education.  1  was  at  the  big  colleges,  that  the  piece  of 

quickly  lost  trying  lo  find  a  major  lhat  paper  I  got  alter  the  "four-year  plan" 

complemented  my  lifestyle  and  no!  would  be  the  key  to  a  wonderful  job. 

the  other  way  around,  I  left  realizing  By  the  time  I  left  Purdue,  I  knew  I 

that  1  was  starting  too  big.  didn't  want  a  job. 

I  decided  IPFW  would  be  a  bet-  A  job  to  me  means  that  you  are 

ter  school  at  which  to  start  small.  I  doing  something  thai  you  have  to  do 

came  back  home  and  lived  with  my  instead  dome  something  you  want  to 

parents,   which   was   not   appealing  do.  If  going  to  Purdue  meant  that  I 

considering  I  had  a  taste  of  freedom  was  going  to  land  a  lot  of  money  in  a 

pie.  In  hindsighl,  my  intentions  for  position  thai  I  didn't  feel  passionately 

going  to  Purdue  were  not  to  satisfy  about,  then  I  didn't  want  it. 

a  need  for  knowledge,  but  10  experi-  1  was  taught  to  think  big.  I  find  it 

ence  a  lack  of  boundaries.  Moving  hard  now  lobe  a  part  of  a  conforming 

home  would  mean  having  to  readjust  group  that  tells  me  I  need  to  be  a  pan 


1  life- 


style 


'I  spent  a  year  and  a  half  and 
figured  out  that  everything  I 
needed  was  right  at  home.' 


So  I  got  what  I  wanted! 

I  spent  a  year  and  a  half  and  fig- 
ured out  that  everything  1  needed  was 
right  at  home  The  city  thai  I  found 
disgusting  a  year  and  a  halt"  earlier 
was  finally  com  fort  able.  The  school 
I  thought  to  be  less  superior  was  ex- 
actly what  I  was  looking  for. 

While  in  the  past  IPFW  would  not 
have  been  a  first  choice,  the  reality  is 
that  this  university  has  a  lot  lo  offer  to 
people  looking  lo  do  something  big 

Graduating  high  school  I  had  the 
idea  that  my  answers  to  success  were 


of  something  be-

everyone  else  is 
doing.  Going  to  a

Advice  for  incomming  freshman 


Welcome  Freshmen!  Some  of 
you  are  on  this  campus  by  your  own 
decisions,  and  the  rest  of  you  are  not. 
But  don't  be  discouraged  just  because 
you  aren't  on  a  big  campus  with  the 
rest  of  your  friends.  IPFW  is  a  great 
school  and  you  will  all  enjoy  your 
time  here  if  you  let  your  self.  So,  I 
am  going  to  give  you  some  advice  so 
that  you  may  enjoy  your  time  here  as 
much  as  1  did. 

First  of  all,  get -involved  with 
something,  anything,  whether  it 
is  your  major's  club  or  intramural 
sports.  Getting  involved  will  link 
you  to  other  people  and  eventually 
you  will  become  acquainted  with 
many  other  people  who  will  become 
long  lasting  friends.  When  you  have 
friends,  anything  is  bearable. 

Secondly,  get  to  know  your  pro- 
fessors! If  you  take  the  time  to  get  10 
know  your  professors  they  will  gel  to 
know  you,  making  the  trips  to  their 
office  lo  ask  questions  much  easier. 
Also,  I  have  always  found  that  ihe 
more  I  talked  lo  m\  professor  the  bet- 
ter 1  wanted  to  do,  I  didn't  want  to  let 
them  down  by  failing. 

Third,  take  advantage  of  every- 
thing I PFW  offers  you,  from  the  Writ- 
ing Center  to  CASA.  These  centers 
an:  here  to  help  you  succeed,  because 
lhat  is  what  you  deserve.  If  you  feel 
like  you  arc  struggling,  stop  by  one 
of  these  places  and  the  friendly  stall 
would  love  to  help  you  out.  There 
is  no  reason  to  do  poorly  in  a  class 
with  all  the  resources  around  to  as- 

Also.  use  common  sense  when 
it  conies  to  making  decisions  about 
class.  Don't  show  up  late  to  class 
everyday.  Because,  I,  it  is  disre- 
spectful lo  your  instructor  and  your 
classmates,  and  2,  you  often  miss 
,.11)  announcements  or  important  in- 
formation regarding  the  class.  It  is 
understandable  if  you  are  late  a  few 
limes  .1  semester  but  registering  for  a 
class  that  you  just  cannot  make  it  to 
on  time  is  not  a  wise  decision.  Fur- 
ther, don't  be  thai  person  who  fails 
his  class  because  you  skipped  too 
many  days.  This  is  avoidable  as  long 
as  you  slay  in  good  communication 
with  your  instructor.  These  people 
are  here  10  help  you,  so  use  them. 

Lastly,  consult  your  advisor.  I 
know  this  is  probabl)  really  repetitive 


to  you,  because  you've  heard  it  so 
many  times  before.  If  you  have  any 
questions  ask  them.  You  don't  want 
10  go  through  a  whole  semester  of  the 
wrong  classes  or  just  simply  have  a 
misunderstanding  of  something. 


ill  likely  be  set  up  for  success  and 
ill  more  likely  enjoy  your  time  on 
e  IPFW  campus.  Have  a  wonder-

Spiderman  3  weaves  an  enjoyably  tangled  web

Spiderman.  When  I  was  younger 
I  watched  reruns  of  the  old  live-ac-
