I've written a few words
and think of the first Things
that come to your mind?
Ready? Freshman Dorm Step
Show. A good Residential Hall
Week. C-Phi, G-Phi, Hu-Row,
I-Phi-Psi, Rho-Phi-Rho. Spirit
Night. Spelman sisters.
There's only one word that
comes to my mind...
Gone.
If you have no idea what
I'm talking about, you must
have come in as a freshman in
1995, the year that residential
life began to deteriorate on the
Morehouse College campus.
Gone are the dorm chants and
the dorm competitions. Gone
is the freshman step show and
the Thurman Hall Mud Bowl.
Gone is the spirit.
Ever since dormitory
competition was replaced with
the currently unsuccessful
House system, freshman have
missed out on the experiences
that help inculcate the sense of
brotherhood into the
Morehouse Man. Yes, Spirit

how many pipes there are in
• the organ in King Chapel for
an upperclassmen's signature.
That yellow sheet of one
hundred signatures would
guarantee you a freshman
week t-shirt, a Spelman sister,
and the knowledge that you
would become a "Man of the
House" once you got some
hours.
There will always be
someone with no or very little
home training. Someone will
want to scrap because you beat
him in Madden '98 on a
computer glitch or because
you lived in a different dorm
than him. Someone will prefer
a pretty Spelman sister over a
less than gorgeous one.
Punishing the whole group
only proves that no one could
come up with a more creative
solution to punish the
offenders. Those activities
encouraged group pride and
unity. Seniors and Juniors
have to fight to get these things
back, otherwise, the incoming
freshman will never know
what they are missing.

Night still exists, but not the
way we remember it. Students
used to file out of King Chapel
with their hands placed firmly
on their brother's shoulders
and chanting that they "had

Upperclassmen stood outside

some of the upperclassmen
were overly rough and people

happy medium.
There are freshman out
