Through a thick morning fog,
Stone Valley Recreation Center
was the mecca for more than 300
University students, administra
tors, faculty, staff and townspeople
whose outlook for the coming year
was much brighter than the weath-
Yesterday the University held
Encampment, a day to open and
develop lines of communication for
the coming year.
. "RESPECT-Back to Basics," was
the theme of the day, which fea
tured keynote speaker Chief Wilma
Mankiller, the first female chief of
the Cherokee Nation. The day also
included three discussion sessions

in Collegian Classifieds
for the participants and a student
panel.
Mankiller emphasized mutual
respect for all.
"I think one of the most dehu
manizing things for me was to have
people not treat me with respect,"
she said.
Gaining respect from people in
society is an interesting concept,
Mankiller said.
When people hear you manage
$l4O million their eyes light up, but
when they hear you are the chief of
the Cherokee Nation, it has less
effect, she said.

President Eyal Grauer said the
themes Mankiller presented will
help guide his association in
achieving its goals.
"I learned that there are certain

respect
barriers that have to be overcome
between cultures," Grauer said.
"Dismissing people without get
ting to know them is not construc
tive because there is so much to be
learned from each other."
A panel discussion, which includ
ed five students and University
President Graham Spanier, rein
forced the theme of respect.
Students had a chance to develop
new perspectives on relations
between members of the Universi
ty community.
Spanier warned against falling
into the trap of not seeing the big
picture.
He advised everyone to look at
the story behind the story and see
the University as a whole commu
nity, without the usual divisions
many people attach to it.

Moving in gets easier for
students with experience
By B. C. RAY
Collegian Staff Writer
Traffic-laden streets marked the fall student
migration Saturday when many transfer and
returning students and family members brought
possessions to State College for the Fall Semester.
Students and families moved from waiting in
traffic, to waiting in line, to cramming into eleva
tors. Move-in day for rookies was more difficult.
Bill Wright of Bethesda, Md., said his son had to
"drop off his stuff in someone else's apartment
because he couldn't get in."
"We just assumed we could get in," he said.
Scott Russo (sophomore-business) had a similar
problem with his locked apartment.
"I went down to the realty office and it was
locked, so now I have to wait for my roommate," he
said. For other students, move-in day was not quite
as troublesome.
"This year's move is going much easier because
we can avoid using the elevator," Russell Jones
(junior-pre-medicine) said.
Jones and his roommate, Matt Zall (junior
finance), moved their possessions into their apart
ment through a ground-floor doorway at The Leg
end, 246 Highland Ave.
"It's better than moving into the dorms," Zall
said. "Anything is better than that."
Colleen Hutchinson (senior-arts), who moved
into Cedarbrook Apartments, 320 E. Beaver Ave.
said, "I learned from my mistakes, not to bring as
much crap."
One father, Jim Bradley from Reading, Pa., said
experience improves the moving-in experience.

"We came to furnished
apartments, unlike last year which
was worse because we had to
bring everything."
"It gets easier every year," he said.
Bradley, who was moving his daughter to State
College for the fourth year, said he has modified a
special contraption for moving luggage.
Other students used the teamwork strategy to
move into new residences.
Four roommates from last year chose to live
together again this semester in the Cedarbrook
Apartments. Rocco Impreveduto (junior-telecom
munications) said the system was to work together
and move in one-by-one.
Impreveduto's roommate Eric Lubochinski
(junior-telecommunications) said this year's move
was a lot smoother for he and his roommate.
Some students took an early-bird approach to
moving in.
"I figured I would get it over with early," said
Scott Carr (senior-administration of justice), who
arrived at 8:30 a.m. Saturday to avoid the rush.
Susan Myrick (senior-administration of justice)
said she figured it would be easier to move her
possessions in ahead of time.
"This is definitely better than past years,"
Myrick said. "Once you become a senior you get to
be a pro at this," her mother added.
