If the activities of a Dallas resident is a criterion, local residents can put aside any ap- prehension they may have about their sons or daughters making a successful transition frompiocal Commonwealth campuses to the academic and social program at University Park. Clifford Garris Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Garris, 16 Jackson St., Dallas, did not an- ticipate any problems academ- ically when he transferred from the Worthington Scranton Campus, Dunmore, as a seventh term mathematics major, but he did have some fear about being engulfed in the large university setting. How- ever, it did not take him long to make the transition from the small glosely-knit local campus as he tércame an active partici- pant in the on-campus organiza- tion trying to better the lives of Halls. Cliff is the vice president of the East Residence Association which continues to encourage participation in campus societies and activities by all students transferring from the Commonwealth campuses throughout the state. ; He stated, ‘The main transi- tion for me was a lack of student identity here. I found one way to overcome this was to become involved in student organiza- tions. One advantage I have found here at University Park is more involvement in sports and intra-mural activity.” Cliff appreciates the fact that State College has a lot of the services of a larger city because of its transient population but feels at home because it is the sort of small town he is used to—a blend of the city and sub- urban life. He is a graduate of Dallas Area High School, class of 1969, where he participated in their athletic program and was a member of the audio-visual as- sociation.
