With the hectic nature of the first week of classes, it is nice to see people taking time out of their busy schedules to help others. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize a few such people.

I am the resident assistant for Cunningham House in Larch Hall, and I had some concerns over move-in day. Luckily for me and the other residents of my house, I have a number of gentlemen on my floor who acted as good Samaritans.

Our floor president, Nathan Brockman organized a group to help everyone on the floor move in. Nathan and a bunch of other guys from the floor helped greet new residents, set up lofts, get things out of storage, and do anything else that was needed. It was a great way to greet our floor’s residents.

So a very special thanks from myself and the rest of the floor goes out to Neil Voss, Tom Scanlan, Darin DesMarais, Nathan Ohrt, Pete Roberts, Pat Hobart, and Marc Nicolas. I also want to thank Matt Lindley for arranging for our hall to have shopping carts from K-Mart to help with move-in. Chris Rogers staffed the table where the carts could be checked out, as well.

They help make this residence hall a wonderful community in which to live. Iowa State should know how much these men are appreciated.
