WELCOME
Ueet Elack-eyed Sue. This gal
may be Maryland's state- flower, but
Sue is like any
other girl aboat
to enter Marylind
U» as a new stu-
dent • She har. tiie
same clothing Iv.ts,
revised and edi"-ad
by a practical
mother, a fin-
ancially skeptical
fat her I and a v^ise
She has the same
stomach pangs as she thinks of sor-
ority rushing, 8 ;00 classes, and
Saturday night dates* In short,
Sue has the same problems that you,
as a new student will have*
colleo-e friend.
DORM LIFE
Her first big concern is where
and how she will live. The dorm
assigned to Sue is very similar to
the other four women' s dorms on
campus: it houses about 140 girls j
has a spacious lobby; contains a
basement equipped with laundering
facilities, public phones, and candy
and fruit juice machines. There is
a large rec room where Sue can enter-
tain visitors with a ping-pong game

rV-Bhow^ior piano jam-session#
Sue's room is on the second
floor, so with a shout of, "Man
on secondi", Sue and her folks pro-
ceed to unload pillow, bed-clothes,
blankets, spread, rugs, curtains,
and clothes from the car and start
the long haul upstairs* An hour
later the weary workers push the bed
into place, plug the radio and alarm
clock (into a newly acquired exten-
sion cord), and collapse on 3ue*s
roommate* s bed to survey the four
walls that Sue will call home during
the coming year.
Assue's parents are leaving,
they meet the housemother who ex-
plains the dorm rules: quiet.
hours for
study, Monday
night dorm
meetings, meal-
time, and the
dorm judicial
board. After
a final fare-
well to her parents, S^ue dashes
upstairs to avjait her roommate.
DAYDODGERS
Ove'r half of SueVs freshmen
cla.sr.cQo.+.(?iii Will h«^ I>ay dodgers
and live at home* They may com-
mute to the University by public
trainsportation, in their own carst
or a car
pool. They
will find a
desk at re-
gistration
set up ttd
help them
find rides
if they
haven't been
successful yet in finding trans-
portation. They may put a lock on
one of the lockers in the Education
or BPA building to keep books or a
lunch* Daydodgers may bring
their lunch and eat in the Rec Kail
or the Dairy* Of course they may
buy lunch in the dining hall cafe-
teria, rec hall, dairy or the drug-
store if they v^ish.
CL0THZ3 AND SOCIAL LIFE
Sue begins the long process of
unpacking, with that harrible fe.,ii'i^
of soraetning forgotten* Ab isne •^s'^.gs
up skirts and folds sweaters, Sus's
mind -.vanders to the fall football
games and informal fraternity parties.
Her green formal brings thoughts; !'f
the Pan-hel pledge dance, homecojuing
5
reek-end, fraternity formals, and
Rossboroagh • eek-end. Jeans and
sweatshirts for picnics at '>reen-
belt are stashed a\':ay; then as 3ue
pldces saddles, loafers, and heels
into her shoe bag, she remembers
the forgotten: RaIN".VEAHI I .Vhere
are the boots, slicker, and um-
bFella? ^uick, a note to motherl
Sue finishes her unpacking by hang»
ing her prized possession, THE suit,
in her closet. Sue may wear The
Suit to basketball games, boxing
matches, Convocation exercisesi
the movies, church, and all inbe-
tv.'een occasions that don't re-
quire dressy clothes or jeans*
■Vith a usual frown, Sue- takes
out the envelope -A'ith her monthly
\ allowance
in it. ■
Whether it
v;ill be
sufficient
for shampoo,
dry-cleaning,
laundry,
cosmetics,
club dues,
.ectioh, s'tamps, snacksi
cigarettes, and cokes will be up
to Sue. and her feather*
ACADEMIC LIFE
So Sue sits and waitsc Her
companion for the year should be
moving in soon and togethe*r thcce
will be registration, mail from
home, their personal conference
with the Dean of '.Vomen, Saturday
classes, phone calls from the •
current man, study for finals, and
all the other activities that will
make the coming year one that
Black-eyed Sue will never forget.
