Chicken Soup for the Freshmen Soul

This goes out to all the Freshmen. If you want to be the ultimate Monarch, follow these helpful tips:
Do’s:
- Do ALL of your homework. You do not want to get behind.
- Join as many clubs as you can. Clubs help you meet new people and become more involved
- Go to as many football and basketball games as you can.
- Go to as many dances as you can. It’s fun dancing with your friends!!
- BE YOURSELF!
Dont’s:
- Make sure your backpack isn’t bigger than you are. Back problems aren’t fun.
- Don’t walk on the wrong side of the stairs. Walk on the right going up, walk on the right going down.
- Don’t block the hallways flirting with your crush. You can flirt and walk at the same time!

As a new publication, the newspaper staff had to put extra care into making sure what they were reporting on set a positive precedent for the paper on campus. “The administration at the time was very afraid that the Scroll would immediately turn into a format where students could just take pop shots at [them],” Gene Jimenez, a member of the 1988-89 staff, said. “And when we showed them that we could actually produce [something] as semi-responsible adults, it was a big deal.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/doc00617420211117152104-copy-317x475.jpg)
