Did you know?
From the mid '70s until his retirement in 1988, Democratic Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire
gave out a yearly award that he termed "The Golden Fleece." The fleecfe was designed to highlight , y
the most outrageous examples of pork-barrel spending, Washington style, that Proxmire could id
eve ear. Several recipients were: 4.
/ The federal government once awarded some $102,000 to a group called the National Institute
on alcohol to study the effects of tequila and gin on sunfish.
/ Congressional leaders on the Hill once OK'd a meager $2,500 to the National
Endowment for the Humanities to finance an exhaustive study of why people lie and cheat
on tennis courts.
/ Washington provided no less than $500,000 to the National Science Foundation to study why
rats, monkeys and people clench their teeth.

In purely mathematical terms, slightly
more than 1,000 days (at the most) sep-
arate how long a University first-year
student and a senior have been alive. Yet
one does not have to strain one's eyes too
hard to see that there's a mountain of dif-
ference between the two.
Besides living in different campus
venues, taking different classes and, at
least in thery, standing in different cred-
it-determined students sections of

we will ever face.
"For (students), going to college is a
very significant transition," says
Pachella. "You arrive here having always
lived under mommy and daddy's roof,
thinking what mommy and daddy think."
Then, over the next few years, that
thinking changes, he said.
And, as individuals change, they reach
ages which society has branded impor-
tant for one reason or another. Reaching
21 years of age or being "over 18" are
two examples. Socially speaking the dif-
ference between being 18- andbeing21-
years old are great. But in terms of phys-
ical or psychological maturity the differ-
ence is minuscule,

Psychology Prof.
Robert Pachella said Psy
the unique charac-
teristics we observe between first-year
students and seniors are not related to the
differences in age. Rather, the differences
are due to how students have progressed
emotionally since leaving the direct envi-
ronment of their family's influence.
Pachella said that for almost every-
one who starts college, turning 18 is
one of life's most important age mile-
stones. It is an important time, not
because after 18 years the body goes
through some magical change - but
because it marks the beginning of col-
lege, life away from home and one of
the most important transitional periods

large stigma to
being 21," said Nora Coleman, an LSA
sophomore. "When someone turns 21,
they might feel that they have more free-
dom and responsibility."
But if are all pretty similar physically
and even physiologically, why do we all
seem so different? The reason is not just
that some students can go to the bar and
some can't, experts say.
One reason is that until first-year stu-
dent find their niche, they tend to look
a bit out of place, Pachella said.
