And when I do, I'll know It's 'cause, I listened to Stu and did things right This is obviously a very long article. If you're impatient and don't want to read any more of the fine print, skip directly to the points enumerated at the end. If you want the full benefit of what I've written, however, stick with me and keep reading (you don't have to do it in one sitting). As with most new situations we encounter in life, and especially that of starting college, there's nothing like having some advance information on what things will be like so you can be better prepared to deal effectively with what you run into. And for those coming directly to UW-Parkside from high school, which is the case for the majority of new students and the group for whom this article is written, it is especially important both to have some insight into how different college will be from high school and to seek out resources at theUniversity, as necessary, to help make the transition a smooth and successful one. So in this COUNSELOR' CORNER, a column appearing in the RANGER a number of times each semester, some of the more commonly encountered differences will be highlighted along with some that are more subtle. The over all Environment at UWParkside You come and go as you p lease. Nobody asks you why you're walking in the halls, aren't in class or what you're doing just hanging around. With the exception of doing it in the classrooms, the library and theatres, you can eat and drink soda almost anywhere on campus and, until a policy goes into effect that says you can't do it at all, smoke (yuk) in designated areas. There are no bells signaling a start or end to classes, so you have to pay attention to time. And you won't hear any announcements in homeroom, because there is no homeroom. You can go bowling in the middle of the (toy if you want or pop quarters into the video games in the Rec Center, and best of all you can study in the library. You're also going to see students who look old enough to be your parents and thai sane. That's because UW-Parkside has one of the highest percentages of what they call "non-traditional age" students in the UW System. These folks take their learning very seriously (as evidenced by their good grade point averages) and you'll appreciate having them in your classes with you. They also benefit, believe it or not, from being in classes with younger students like yourself. Your classes One thing that may really throw you is thatclasses don't meet every day. Most classes only meet 2 or 3 times a week, although some meet more and a few meet less. There's also something called a "modular" class. These meet for less than a full semester (usually 8 weeks). They are often found in Phy Ed and Academic Skills courses such as Study Skills and Reading Improvement University of Wisconsin-Parkside THE RANGER NEWS Member of the Associated Collegiate Press Subscription rate lor one year is $5.00.

Depending on class availability, you work out a schedule that meets your educational needs and personal time constraints. Only one note of caution here: the more you limit yourself to certain times of the day when you would like to take classes, the fewer classes there will be to choose from. Look at it this way: going to Parkside is like having a full-time job; to the extent possible you should be planning your class schedule and locking in the times you're going to study first and then fit in everything else. "How many courses should I take my first semester?" This is a question commonly asked by new students. In Students fail not because they lack intelligence but because they lack the necessary commitment to their academic goals and don't use their time effectively. general, if you were a strong high school student, somewhere around 15 or 16 credits would be a good bet If you weren't that strong you should plan to take only 12 a 13 credits, and a course in Study Skills should be a part of that load. Regardless of how you did in high school, don't get caught up in that "I have to graduate college in 4 years or else" mentality; for many students that isn't possible because they need to strengthen their skills in English and math before taking more advanced courses in those areas. Also, spending extra time taking additional exploratory courses in potential areas you might major in means you'll make a better decision as to what you want to focus on here at Parkside; similarly, taking additional etectives in an area once you've chosen your major means you'll make yourself mote attractive to potential employers when it's time to graduate. Most students take about five to six years to graduate. This is true across the country as well as at Parkside. I have always told students that whatever is waiting out there for them at the end of f our years will almost certainly be out there for them after five a six years; they may even be better prepared to greet it. Using vour time effectively You must use your time effectively if you're going to be successful! An hour or two between classes may be used fa* homework, additional study time to keep up with your classes, to prepare for an exam, or play pinball in the Rec Center. Your choice. And having all day Tuesday and Thursday free (if that's how your schedule turns out) means you have to decide what your priorities are going to be—school, job, or play. I've never believed you can do all three simultaneously and be good at each of them. Very few successful students are able to work more than 20 hours a week in addition to going to school. Students fail not because they lack intelligence but because they lack the necessary commitment to their academic goals and don't use their time effectively. Homework and tests It's fairly safe to assume that most of your college courses will be more rigorous than those you had in high school. You'll be expected to approach learning differently: analyze more, develop independent thinking, grapple with ideas, determine cause and effect relationships. You'll love it! Theamountofhomework and number and type of tests (multiple choice, true-false) vary with instructor. Some assign minimal amounts of homework, others expect you to do something for every class, and others fall in between. Regardless of how much or how little homework is assigned, the rule of thumb has always been that you're expected to spend 2-3 hours studying outside of class for every hour you're in class. Don'tbelulledintoa false sense of security by how easy classes may seem at the beginning of the semester. Sometimes things start slow but pick up speed quickly. If you don't keep up with classes on a daily basis you'll find it's too late to catch up when things really get going. You'll also have instructors who only give two tests the whole semester and others will test you every week. Where tests are few and far between you'll be expected to remember more for each exam. A few instructors may even allow you to drop a low grade you get on one of your tests (very generous, I'd say). All of this means you really have to stay on top of things and be prepared to take full responsibility for your own learning! "Hey, wait a minute," you say. "Isn't that the instructor's job?" Read on... Grades and Repeats You got grades in high school and you'll get them in college. It's the university's way of telling you how well you are doing. If the grade you receive fa a course is not what you were expecting then by all means talk with the instructor about what happened. You can repeat a course if you are not satisfied with how you did in it The grade you get the second time around is the one which gets calculated into your grade point average,but theoriginal grades tays . on your transcript since it's part of your official academic record. You may repeat a course as often as you like but it's always the most recent grade that is used to determine your overall grade point average. If fa some extraordinary reason beyond your control you were unable to complete a course but did come reasonably close, you might try to convince the instructor to give you a grade of "I" for Incomplete. When this happens you and the instructor determine what you have to do to complete the course. When you've done what you had to do, the instructor will give you a grade for the course. If the incomplete isn't made up by the end of the next full semester it turns to an F. Instructors It's safe to say that most instructors will not ride hard on you, which lends credence to what I just said — that you are responsible for your own learning. You'll find many of your instructors more informal, casual, and relaxed than in high school. Faculty attire will vary from suits/ sport coats and ties fa men and dresses fa women to jeans and sweatshirts fa both. While instructors may tell you to be sure to buy the textbooks for the course, they probably won't go around the room to be sure you did. Some of your instructors will take attendance, some won't Most encourage students to ask questions in class, some have specific class time set aside fa questions. Many will stay around a few minutes after class so students can talk with them, others will have commitments to run off to. All are expectedro have office hours, and these are often theb est times tog et June 17,1991 Ranger, Page 3 in to see them. NOTE: Don't associate a casual or informal style with permissiveness; this can be deceptive and result in your doing poorly if you don't take the course or instructor seriously. How classes are taught In some courses die instructor will stand in front of the room and lecture for the better part of the semester, which means you better be very good at taking notes (watch for workshops on notetaking presented by the Learning Assistance and Counseling office or register fo r a 1 credit Study Skills module). In other courses there may be a nice mix of both lecture and give-and-take discussions between instructor and students. And some will be participatory or "hands on" (art, drama, science labs for example) with less talk and more doing. Yes, instructors still show films in college and take their classes on field trips. And when an instructor cannot make it to class chances are good the class will be cancelled for that day. Some students celebrate when that happen?. Remember, however, that you or someone else is paying good money for that class, so don't party too much and don't waste that time when you find you have an hour or so free. Involvement in campus activities You may have participated in one or more clubs or activities each year they were in high school. You can do thatatParkside, too. In fact I encourage students to get involved because it helps them feel they are more a part of the campus. You may, however, want Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by how easy classes may seem at the beginning of the semester to postpone your involvement in a club until after your first semester at which time you'll have a better idea of what clubs exist and how much time you'll have to devote to those extra activities. In addition to joining a club, there are countless other activities offered on campus, many of which are free. Announcements of performers, dances, coffee houses, films, art shows and other events always appear in the Ranger and on bulletin boards around campus. Yflll and your parents Finally, going to college will probably be as much of a new experience for your parents as it will be for you. So you'll need to help them understand some of the thin gs you' ve just read about Your life isn't going to be thes ame as it was in high school but that doesn't mean they can't share your success with you. And ifaparentis having trouble coping with your going to college, encourage them to come in and talk with one of the counselors in the Counseling and Testing office (see item 3 below). If all else fails Chances are excellent that if you work at it you'll be succesful at UW-Parkside. If you run into difficulty, remember 1. Don't ever hesitate to talk with an instructor if you aren't doing as well as you think you should be. 2. If you're still having trouble in a subject after talking with your instructor, be sure to come to the Academic Resource Center in the Library/Learning Center and look into getting free tutoring in the subject 3. If you are having trouble thinking clearly and concentrating on your studies—two ingredients necessary for academic and personal success—then make an appointment to see one of the two counselors (Barbara Larson or myself) in the Learning Assistance and Counseling area. Either of us can help you identify and remove most roadblocks you encounter. 4. Don't walk around confused about policies and procedures. Stop at the Advising Center in lower Main Place for information and assistance. 5. Get to know your adviser and seek them out for advice in planning your schedule. 6. Uncertain as to what to major in (one of the major concerns of college students)? Talk to the staff in The Career Center. Well, you either made it through the fine print or you jumped from the first paragraph to the last section called If all else fails. In any case, think about the things I've pointed out from time to time. They are good points to remember. Enjoy the University of Wisconsin-Paikside, be successful, and make the most of your experience. You'll never regret it. DEAR UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE STUDENT, It is my pleasure to welcome you as either a new or continuing student The Department of Student Life, working in conjunction with a variety of support offices, staff, and faculty, is here to assist you as you pursue your educational goals. The department is composed of the Office of Student Activities, The Student Health Services program, the Office of Residence Life, the Child Care Center, the Parkside Union, the Women's Center, and New Student Orientation programs. All of these programs and services are here for your use. They are designed to meet the needs of you the student and the staff that administer these areas are anxious to be of assistance. The programs and services have been established to provide experiences and opportunities to help you remain in school as well as to give you the chance to participate in a variety of organization and clubs. I encourage to you to take advantage of the variety of experiences that are available to you at the University. Studies have shown that those students who take advantage of the various program and support services, participate in student activities, and attend orientation programs, feel their university experience was much more meaningful. Steve McLaughlin Once again, welcome. I sincerely hope that the coming months will be enjoyable, exciting, and personally rewarding for you. If there is any way that my office or department can be of assistance, please feel free to contact me. Steve McLaughlin Dean of Students Volunteering opens doors to new opportunity by Gwen Heller Managing Editor Looking for a way to jump into campus life as the doors to the wonderful world of college beckon to you? If you are an open-minded, motivated person who knows the meaning of altruism and can use it in a sentence, then the SCS organization may hold the key to your college involvement Joining Student Community Services could be the most significant and rewarding move you'll make during your college career. This organization, which is sponsored by the Kenosha Voluntary Action Cento* links student volunteers with agencies, organizations, and programs both in Kenosha and Racine. Are you a sports fanatic or an animal lover? Why not volunteer a few weekend hours tocoach a youth basketball team or assist in the care and rehabilitation of stray animals? Are you aiming to earn your degree in English? Edit a newsletter for a local non-profitorganization. Education students are encouraged to seek volunteer positions as tutors, teachers' aides or club advisors at elementary, junior and senior high schools in Kenosha and Racine. A key advantage of the SCS program which has been directed by Carol Engberg for three years is that students who have no clue about future majors or careers can investigate possibilities through firsthand experience. If your interest has been captured by the perks of the program, consider the logistics. You live on campus and do not have transportation to commute to and from town. No problem Not only are there numerous volunteer openings on campus, but the public transportation systems are quite reliable to shuttle you to your job. Since the program -began in 1988, over300students from UWParkside, Carthage College, and Gateway Technical College have given their time and energy free of charge to help out in the community. Don't let that number fool you There are still a plethora of positions available for new volunteers. Many students go to classes, study for a few hours in the library, and go home to watch the soap operas for the rest of the afternoon. By the time they graduate, they realize that the years have passed them by and that they never bothered to get involved in any meaningful activities. Be aware that the opportunities for you'to become a mover and a shaker are waiting for you to reach out and makea difference. Ranger.

Chief Tom Knitter The campus of UW-Parkside at times has been referred to as "A Community within a Community". We are, in essence, our own village, one that provides many of the same services one would f ind in their own hometown. The UW-Parkside Campus Police and Public Safety Department has the responsibility to ensure that "our Community" remains a safe and peaceful place where the pursuit of a quality education can be accomplished. Our UW-Parkside campus department provides law enforcement service to the campus 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our police officers have arrest authority and receive the same training as their counterparts in municipal law enforcement The police officers are supplemented by a security officer staff, comprisedchieflyofUW-Parkside students, who receive training in a variety of duties. A locksmith is also employed by the department to install and maintain the various locks or other security devices on campus. In addition to the law enforcement and security functions, our department oversees the areas of parking and transportation, fire safety, emergency preparedness and coordination of chemical waste disposal. We pride ourselves in our service to the campus community. Whether it be providing a "jump start" to a vehicle, unlocking an office door for a faculty member or escorting a student toa parking lot at night, all of the UW-Parkside Campus Police staff are committed to giving "extra" service that is normally not expected from a police agency. We involve ourselves in the campus community and in the education process. Officers of our department participate regularly in "awareness" sessions that address various areas of crime prevention and safety. Campus Police realizes that the involvement of everyone on campus is absolutely vital to any crime prevention efforts. Therefore, we are very willing to share our security expertise as well as receive information and suggestions from those people who use university facilities. Our interaction, formal and informal, will help to maintain the safe atmosphere at UW-Parkside. Your safety is our concern, please feel free to call upon our department any hour of the day or night should you need our assistance.

By Steve Walner The search for off campus housing can be hectic BUT if you ask "the right" questions your experience should be easy as well as painless. Start by LOOKING AROUND. Shop around, ask questions, read the lease, get all promises in writing, and neverput money down unless you are ready to make a commitment Most houses or apartments vary greatly in price depending on size, condition, proximity to campus, and whether or not utilities are included. Generally, prices range from $200/ month to $600/month. It is also helpful to carry along a notebook to jot notes down regarding the different units you visit Your rental search should start 1-2 months prior to your expected occupancy date. If you start earlier many landlords or rental agents will not be able to tell you what units they will have available. Remember to look over a copy of the lease. Does the lease state who is responsible for what? Who pays the utilities? Can the lease be renewed? A factor which may also influence your decision about who to rent from is the attitude of the landlord or rental agent Good landlords/ agents are responsible, honest, and willing to answer questions. If a landlord/agent seems reluctant to answer important questions or makes a lot of promises about making repairs you have reason to be cautious. By looking around, asking questions, jotting notes and reading all papers/leases thoroughly, your search for off campus housing should be easy and painless. Good Luck.

C.E.C.A. is a mix of people, resources, and activities which are systematically blended together to meet an identified need for action for a specific population on our . university campus. Minority and disadvantaged students continue to be undeirepresented in higher education, especially in the professors, while their numbers in the population increase. Although many special programs and services have been minimized or eliminated, the need for special programs, such as CJS.C.A., continues. One of the most important services our programs provide, one which is often overlooked, is the psychological support, treating all students with dignity and respect, regardless of their prior experiences, financial status, or need for special attention. This positive reinforcement of ego and self-concept goes a long way in facilitating success. C£.C.A.presupposesastrong campus sense of a common community, saving alli ts citizens fairly and marked in the main by: 1) Access to, rather than exclusion &om academic, social, and recreational groups and activities; 2) Shared goals; 3) Intentional social intercourse, rather than passive social isolation or active social exclusion; and 4) Intergration rather than segregation. CJB.C.A. provide the following services and programs to accomplish its mission: Academic Advising Services CECA takes pride in the emphasis it places on academic advising. The focus of this emphasis lies in the great education value the advisors helping students to set meaningful, self-directed life/ career goals. This is an ongoing, multifaceted communication exchange. These services of the cento* can only support and compliment efforts to obtain educational/life goals and insure the retention and graduation of students of color at UWParkside. CASHE Peer Mentoring Prograin CASHE stands for "Collective Approach to Success in Higher Education." This program started in the fall 1988 as an effort to improve the retention and graduation rates for students of color at UW-Parkside. Upperclass students who have demonstrated high achievement in the areas of math and English have been hired by the center to facilitate small group study sessions for students registered in English 090 and/or Math 015. The mentors meet with s tudents in groups of eight to ten to help the students with any difficulties that they may encounter in these courses. Taking Care of Business Recognition Banquet This banquet honors high academic achievers and graduating senior students of color. Thisevent demonstrates that there are those who are not doing so well that they too, can achieve their goals.

The need for quality child care and the academic value of on-campus centers have been recognized as an important service to colleges and universities a s well as their surrounding communities. Functioning within the decade of the 90's it is more important than ever to foster the growth of quality child care services in institutions of higher learning. The policies, procedures, and Program at UW-Parkside Child Care Cento* have been designed with the issue of quality being of utmost importance. Staff members devote their talents and skills to providing an enrichment experience for young children that fosters their growth on physical, emotional, social, and cognitive levels.

For those reading this not familiar with "Union Square", it is the bar/grill/programming area located just off the north entrance of the campus union building. Following the demolition described, an asbestos removal program starte d on Friday, May 31, taking up the old floor tiles. This process required a state certified crew to come in and completely encapsulate the room in plastic before the actual removal of tiles began. Special uniforms, masks, shower facilities, etc. are used in this process; only after extensive air testing is completed is the room'splastic capsule removed and entrance by others allowed. The extent of the 5,000 square foot room remodeling will include a complete face lift A new acoustical tile ceiling will be put in with both uplighting fluorescent fixtures as well as incandescent downlighting and some decorative wall lights. The old, angled booth system will be replaced with anew moveable and more flexible table and chair arrangement The room will continue to be two tiered, but will have four accesses to the lower level instead of the present two. One of these will be ramped for disabled access to that level. A combination of new nonasbestos floor tiles and carpeting will replace the old flooring. A railing system of posts, cable and tumbuckles will separate the two levels and lend to support the modern industrial decor theme, which will also include wall panels sporting decorative nut/bolt enhancements. The old orange/red "look" of the room will be replaced by a cleaner and more up to date look of contrasting grays, black and white. In addition to the color scheme and lighting changes which in themselves should brighten up the area considerably, a window and door panel unit is being put in on the lower level to provide directaccess to the outdoor patio ("the pad") located just off die west side of the building, plus at least a bit of natural light Food service will have a similar look, but a somewhat different form of delivering products, and some change in selection. The new delivery system will more resemble a McDonalds where your food is served to you at the same time as you order and pay. Waiting will only takeplace when ordering pizza or other specially made to order items. Pickup salads and daily sandwich specials will be added to the menu.

Members of UW-Parkside's Black Student Organization Black Student Organization open to all UW-Parkside students UW-P's Marketing Fraternity offers on hands experience By Janice Word Chapter President Pi Sigma Epsilon, Gamma Beta is one of UW—Paikside's most active student organizations. As a national fraternity in marketing, PSE has over 60 chapters throughout the U.S. As UW—P's chapter we recruit male and female students from all areas of studies— Liberal Arts, Political Science, Education, and of course Business. Currently Gamma Beta co nsists of 41 initiated members ( meaning they are lifetime members of PSE). During the school year, we hold weekly meetings to organize our business ac tivities. These activities include com munity involvement, school functions, regional interaction, and raising fundraisers, conduct market surveys, run an Easter Egg Hunt for the children, get involved in UWP's Winter Carnival, and much, much more!! The purpose of our fraternity is to promote the learning of business operations through on—hands experience. Our members leam effective communication, time management, delegating techniques, and advertising skills while running their own profit earning projects. We alsoe ncourage social money for our chapter expenses. To accomplish such goals we host activities for our members, as well as including chapters from UW— UW-P's PSE in Anaheim, California at the PSE National Convention Milwaukee, Carthage College, and UW—Whitewater. For instance, this summer we are getting together to have a day of fun at Great America, while another day we will go to a Brewers game; our big summer activity is a formal dinner at Kenosha's very own Dairyland Greyhound Park.

I am sure you will see our advertisements during the first two weeks of school. Hope to see you then!! One of the best kept secrets on the Parkside campus is the Academic R esource Center. Itmay also be one of the most misunderstood. Many students struggling with difficult classes are not familiar with the extensive tutoring program offered by the office of Learning Assistance. What's more, too many of those who are aware of this resource mistake it for remedial help, not realizing that only a very small fraction of its assistance is at the remedial level. Located at the lower level of the library directly adjacent to the Main Place Coffee Shop, the Academic Resource Center offers tutoring assistance in most subject areas, especially 100 and 200level classes. Workers at the reception desk greet students who come in for assistance and help them fill out requests for tutoring. If a tutor is immediately available, the desk workers match tutor and tutee and arrange a meeting date and time. If a tutor is not available in the subject requested.arrangements are made as quickly as possible to provide one. Individuals who are selected to work as tutors are upperclassmen who have received endorsement by the department for which they intend to tutor, and who are achieving students with s uperior grade point averages. They are given instruction in teaching techniques, but are also free to apply their own strategies based upon the success and familiarity they have with the courses in which they tutor. The greatest demand forassistarice Is in mathematics. Tutorsare available for math both on a oneto- one appointment and on a dropin basis. There are also limited hours for drop-in tutoring in chemistry. All other subjects are offered on a one-to-one or small group basis by appointment. Unfortunately, except for drop-in math tutoring, budget limitations make it impossible to keep the Academic Resource Center open during summer session. However, when foil semester to apply for helpe arly in the semester. Waiting too long can result in limited academic success, frustration, and possible failure. Even the best tutors cannot rescue a failing grade when time is limited. Drop-in math tutoring will be available this summer for ten hours per week.

Owners Helen and Craig Leipold are to be commended for tastefully renovating one of Racine's historical landmarks. ' In subtle shades of salmon, teal, and metallic hues the original decor has been faithfully restored, with only a few contemporary additions blending in with the past A casual elegance is recognized by white tablecloths topped with replaceable paper and tabletop bud-vases presenting carnations. Chef Tom Kenny heralding from Chicago's Spiagia, offers an eclectic ethnic menu that spans from our back door with a stuffed burger, to France's pommes ffites and Italy's primavera pasta. Companion Roseann Mason and I began our epicurean adventure by splitting a 10" special pizza du jour ($6.95) that was topped with eggplant, green pepper, Italian sausage, provolone, and romano cheese. With its light and crispy commeal crust, we found the pizza flavor to be surprisingly subtle, with an aromatic aftertaste of garlic and romano. Moving along to our entrees (we were on our lunch hour), Ms. Mason ordered the Mustard Chicken Sandwich ($6.95). A hearty serving arrived with the MAIN STREET BISTRO 340 Main Street Racine, Wl 53403 Lunch Hours: Mon. through Fri.11:30-2:30 Dinner Hours: Mon. through Sat. 5:00-11:00 Sunday 5:00-9:00 Phone: 637-4340 Credit Cards: American Express, Master Card, and Visa GPA: 3.92 Handicap access: yes Smoking section: yes chicken grilled and placed on a toasted baguette. A whole grain mustard sauce accompanied the entree with romaine lettuce, tomato slices and pommes firites. Ms. Mason commented on the chicken's tenderness and that the mustard added just enough spice. After sampling a few of the pommes frites, we were both a little disappointed, agreeing they were comparable only to shoe string potatoes. I was very pleased with my serving of the Oak-Fired Smoked Sausage ($8.95) that was cut on the bias and served upon a bed of sliced apples and shredded green cabbage. I found the sausage sweet and succulent, while the tartness of the cider vinegar played on the apple and cabbage creating a perfect marriage. As we adjusted our waistbands, our servo-Nancy efficiently brought us our desserts. Ms. Mason said she reached her "culinary climax'' with the Banana Amaretto Whipped Cream Pie ($3.95). Sliced bananas, mounds of whipped cream, and caramel and chocolate sauces all graced an Amaretto cookie crust that Ms. Mason inhaled. I didn't fare as well with the White Chocolate Treasure Chest ($3..95) I received. Although the plate arrangement was aesthetically pleasing, it didn't make up for the stale almond meringue box filled with bland white chocolate-chip mousse. Additional luncheon entrees include Honey-Lime Chicken Salad ($6.95), Main Street Steak Sandwich ($9.95), Tomato-Basil Angel Hair Pasta ($7.95), Chefs Salmon Fillet ($13.95), and Bistro Roasted Vegetables ($6.95). As I placed my napkin back on the table, I awarded the Main Street Bistro an A in atmosphere as bubbling conversation joyfully filled the restaurant; an A in decor for renovating and enhancing the building's natural beauty; an A for efficacious service; and a B+ for food. Thus giving the Main Street Bistro an honorable grade point average of 3.92. Freshman welcomes news tndents .... .. . . : : . • .• : ' - • • . • mester Freshmen!
