Now, remember to lock your room every time you leave it. 00:02:03.206 --> 00:02:05.236 align:middle You don't have many clothes, so try and take care of what you have. 00:02:05.376 --> 00:02:06.226 align:middle Here's your laundry bag. 00:02:06.226 --> 00:02:08.126 align:middle Now, you should only have to do your wash once a week or so. 00:02:08.126 --> 00:02:10.636 align:middle And remember, don't mix the colored clothes with your white blouse, 00:02:10.636 --> 00:02:12.006 align:middle and use hot water with the towels. 00:02:12.306 --> 00:02:14.316 align:middle Be careful with that record player. 00:02:14.316 --> 00:02:15.396 align:middle Put it on the desk and hook it up. 00:02:15.396 --> 00:02:16.516 align:middle Now, when you unpack your things, be neat. 00:02:16.516 -->

just talked to our floor governor, 00:04:32.296 --> 00:04:34.756 align:middle and she said our first floor meeting is 7:30 tonight. 00:04:35.346 --> 00:04:37.806 align:middle It's the usual sort of

align:middle at IU was a little different than being away at summer camp. 00:04:44.356 --> 00:04:45.966 align:middle It's a whole new kind of independence. 00:04:45.966 --> 00:04:50.666 align:middle I had my own room and could keep my own hours, but I also had a checkbook to balance 00:04:50.666 --> 00:04:52.256 align:middle and housing payments to make on time. 00:04:52.366 --> 00:04:56.966

[Female student:] The essence of living 00:05:00.826 --> 00:05:03.816 align:middle in a dormitory is meeting new people and making new friends. 00:05:03.866 --> 00:05:08.156 align:middle There are about 30,000 students on campus, most of whom we never meet. 00:05:08.926 --> 00:05:13.516 align:middle Some of them you may only a few minutes, many friendships you'll have the rest of your life. 00:05:13.826 --> 00:05:16.836 align:middle Living with people is the best way to learn about them. 00:05:16.836 --> 00:05:18.256 align:middle You work and relax together. 00:05:19.186 --> 00:05:21.136 align:middle Some people have to learn to live with others. 00:05:21.766 --> 00:05:23.976 align:middle Some people have to learn to live with themselves. 00:05:24.516 --> 00:05:36.516 align:middle [ Bells Clanging ] 00:05:37.516 --> 00:05:41.676 align:middle [ Music ] 00:05:42.176 --> 00:05:44.996 align:middle [Female student:] The most worthwhile thing I did before I entered IU in the fall, 00:05:44.996 --> 00:05:48.736 align:middle was to come down during the summer and attend their summer registration program. 00:05:49.276 --> 00:05:50.986 align:middle It was really two programs in one. 00:05:51.326 --> 00:05:54.246 align:middle One for my parents, and the other for any old student like me. 00:05:54.246 --> 00:05:58.786 align:middle When I began planning my program, a feeling came over me that for the first time, 00:05:59.086 --> 00:06:03.366 align:middle I was actually deciding what I wanted to take, planning my own future. 00:06:03.566 --> 00:06:07.206 align:middle Hundreds of classes to choose from, and all I had to do was decide. 00:06:07.916 --> 00:06:11.446 align:middle [Male student:] The hardest part of program planning was making up my mind. 00:06:12.086 --> 00:06:14.476 align:middle That's where the student assistants were really helpful. 00:06:14.876 --> 00:06:18.346 align:middle I mean like, besides being trained by the university, they were students too 00:06:18.346 --> 00:06:19.936 align:middle and they knew the score from the inside. 00:06:20.031 --> 00:06:22.031 align:middle [ Music ] 00:06:22.046 --> 00:06:25.086 align:middle [Female student:] It was up to us to do the actual decision making, but they let us know 00:06:25.086 --> 00:06:27.376 align:middle if we were getting in over our heads by taking too much 00:06:27.376 --> 00:06:29.506 align:middle or wasting our time on the wrong courses. 00:06:29.996 --> 00:06:33.486 align:middle Most of them were just a year or so older, so they knew a lot of the professors 00:06:33.486 --> 00:06:35.166 align:middle and classes that we were asking about. 00:06:35.166 --> 00:06:38.806 align:middle More than anything else, the student assistants were aware 00:06:38.806 --> 00:06:41.466 align:middle of what we felt like planning our first program. 00:06:41.466 --> 00:06:45.096 align:middle They spent time explaining some of the new terms and phrases that were flying around, 00:06:45.096 --> 00:06:47.636 align:middle and were right there all the time to help and answer questions. 00:06:48.516 --> 00:06:50.596 align:middle [ Music ] 00:06:51.096 --> 00:06:53.176 align:middle [Female student:] After program planning, I met my counselor. 00:06:53.176 --> 00:06:56.606 align:middle He was a representative from whatever department you were interested in. 00:06:56.776 --> 00:06:59.986 align:middle He let you know something about the department requirements, 00:06:59.986 --> 00:07:02.306 align:middle and other things that you might be interested in investigating. 00:07:02.576 --> 00:07:06.346 align:middle The only problem was that not everyone knew what they were interested in. 00:07:06.406 --> 00:07:11.156 align:middle What that in mind, the university came up with the exploratory curriculum. 00:07:11.876 --> 00:07:14.716 align:middle [Male student:] The exploratory curriculum courses are designed specifically 00:07:14.716 --> 00:07:18.506 align:middle to let freshmen see what's available on campus, and to help them make up their mind 00:07:18.506 --> 00:07:20.636 align:middle about what to eventually major in. 00:07:20.636 --> 00:07:24.836 align:middle All these courses could be credited to any department you decide to go into later on. 00:07:24.836 --> 00:07:27.046 align:middle [Female student:] Once I decided what I wanted to take, 00:07:27.406 --> 00:07:29.346 align:middle my next step was to pick up my class cards. 00:07:29.436 --> 00:07:32.566 align:middle A class card is your admission ticket to class on the first day. 00:07:33.156 --> 00:07:35.486 align:middle Each class may be offered many different times each week. 00:07:35.666 --> 00:07:39.266 align:middle So, the trick here is to find the time each class is offered, 00:07:39.326 --> 00:07:41.156 align:middle and then work them into a weekly schedule. 00:07:41.156 --> 00:07:46.896 align:middle Just be sure to leave time to study, eat meals, sleep, do homework, and collapse. 00:07:47.516 --> 00:07:50.836 align:middle [ Music ] 00:07:51.336 --> 00:07:54.466 align:middle [Male student:] Summer registration really made things a lot easier. 00:07:54.996 --> 00:07:59.106 align:middle Especially when I came down in the fall, and saw what a normal registration looks like. 00:07:59.576 --> 00:08:03.126 align:middle The procedure was the same as during summer registration, except this time you're 00:08:03.126 --> 00:08:05.976 align:middle on your own and so are a lot of other freshmen around you. 00:08:06.516 --> 00:08:10.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:08:11.046 --> 00:08:12.656 align:middle [Male student:] The first step is knowing when to check in. 00:08:13.006 --> 00:08:15.496 align:middle Each student has a certain time they're allowed to register, 00:08:15.496 --> 00:08:17.626 align:middle according to the first letters of their last name. 00:08:17.626 --> 00:08:21.456 align:middle And the sooner you get in, the better the chances are of getting the classes you want. 00:08:22.076 --> 00:08:24.406 align:middle They check your identification and all your materials, 00:08:24.406 --> 00:08:26.736 align:middle to make sure everything is filled out. 00:08:26.736 --> 00:08:29.976 align:middle If it's not done when you get there, you waste a lot of time doing it. 00:08:30.516 --> 00:08:38.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:08:39.046 --> 00:08:41.246 align:middle [Male student:] When everything's filled out, you can begin to pick up the cards 00:08:41.286 --> 00:08:43.826 align:middle for the classes you want, just like summer registration. 00:08:44.036 --> 00:08:46.046 align:middle If the classes are open, there's no problem. 00:08:46.046 --> 00:08:48.466 align:middle You can just keep adding to your schedule, as you pick up the cards. 00:08:48.466 --> 00:08:51.806 align:middle The problem comes when a class is already full or closed. 00:08:52.246 --> 00:08:57.046 align:middle To try to prevent this major catastrophe, you should first pick up the classes you want most 00:08:57.046 --> 00:09:01.176 align:middle or the ones only offered at a few times, and then get the ones that have more sections 00:09:01.176 --> 00:09:03.976 align:middle and times offered, and plan the rest of your schedule around them. 00:09:04.516 --> 00:09:07.746 align:middle [ Music ] 00:09:08.246 --> 00:09:11.296 align:middle [Female student:] When I get finished picking up my cards, I always take a few seconds out 00:09:11.296 --> 00:09:15.076 align:middle and recheck from the beginning to make sure I've got what I think I've got. 00:09:15.106 --> 00:09:19.286 align:middle First I see if the classes are the ones I asked for at the right times, and then I check to see 00:09:19.286 --> 00:09:23.296 align:middle if I have all the discussions, labs, and recitation sessions that I should. 00:09:23.566 --> 00:09:26.846 align:middle Then finally, I make sure that the class times don't overlap, 00:09:27.106 --> 00:09:28.966 align:middle cause you can only be in one place at a time. 00:09:28.966 --> 00:09:35.056 align:middle When my schedule is finally the way I want it, the last step is the bursar's table to pay fees. 00:09:35.696 --> 00:09:39.576 align:middle On the way to the table, anyone with a scholarship or a loan can pick it up. 00:09:39.796 --> 00:09:43.646 align:middle But it's a good idea to check ahead of time to make sure it will be ready and waiting for you. 00:09:44.051 --> 00:09:46.051 align:middle [ Music ] 00:09:46.086 --> 00:09:49.806 align:middle [Female student:] Almost anything on campus can be paid for with a check. 00:09:49.806 --> 00:09:52.646 align:middle Most new students start checking accounts at Bloomington banks. 00:09:52.856 --> 00:09:57.756 align:middle But checks to the university can always be cashed with proper student identification. 00:09:57.756 --> 00:10:00.566 align:middle [Female student:] Registration for classes isn't the only thing that goes 00:10:00.566 --> 00:10:01.866 align:middle on during the first days on campus. 00:10:01.966 --> 00:10:06.776 align:middle The activities fair has displays and exhibits for most of the clubs and social organizations. 00:10:06.776 --> 00:10:11.106 align:middle There's no end to the number of classes or extracurricular activities available. 00:10:11.416 --> 00:10:13.706 align:middle It's constantly a job of fitting it altogether. 00:10:13.706 --> 00:10:15.876 align:middle And sometimes you can't always do that alone. 00:10:15.876 --> 00:10:20.546 align:middle When that happens, the university division staff, the university's counselors, 00:10:20.796 --> 00:10:23.856 align:middle or your residence hall assistants, are always around to help iron 00:10:23.856 --> 00:10:25.976 align:middle out any conflicts that may arise during the year. 00:10:26.066 --> 00:10:28.066 align:middle [ Music ] 00:10:28.116 --> 00:10:31.356 align:middle [Female student:] After registration and the activities fair, we were ready to head back 00:10:31.356 --> 00:10:34.536 align:middle to the dorm and get something to eat, but we got sidetracked. 00:10:34.796 --> 00:10:39.326 align:middle Showalter Fountain in the center of campus just looked too cool and relaxing to pass up. 00:10:39.436 --> 00:10:44.376 align:middle Next to the fountain is the Lilly Library, the fine arts building, and the IU auditorium. 00:10:44.376 --> 00:10:48.966 align:middle The marquee had a list of the concerts, ballets, and recitals, and celebrity shows 00:10:48.966 --> 00:10:50.946 align:middle that were coming up during the first semester. 00:10:51.236 --> 00:10:54.586 align:middle We talked about which ones we wanted to see, but there was a long list. 00:10:55.516 --> 00:11:04.716 align:middle [ Music ] 00:11:05.216 --> 00:11:06.476 align:middle [Male narrator:] Ladies and gentlemen, 00:11:06.476 --> 00:11:08.976 align:middle presenting the Indiana University Marching Hundred. 00:11:09.516 --> 00:11:15.556 align:middle [ Music ] 00:11:16.056 --> 00:11:18.596 align:middle [Male student:] College football is a lot more elaborate than high school. 00:11:18.596 --> 00:11:20.456 align:middle I never realized it could be such a production. 00:11:20.846 --> 00:11:24.726 align:middle 52,000 people all in one place watching the band perform the pre-game, 00:11:24.726 --> 00:11:25.976 align:middle and waiting for the game to start. 00:11:26.516 --> 00:11:29.586 align:middle [ Music ] 00:11:30.086 --> 00:11:33.066 align:middle [Male student:] Home games are what everybody looks forward to on campus. 00:11:33.066 --> 00:11:37.006 align:middle It's a time when students and their friends, faculty, and staff, and especially the alumni, 00:11:37.006 --> 00:11:38.426 align:middle can get together and really enjoy themselves. 00:11:38.426 --> 00:11:42.906 align:middle Distinguished alumni and friends of the university visit all the games. 00:11:43.476 --> 00:11:46.966 align:middle They come to watch an afternoon of good football, and then to relax in the evening, 00:11:47.306 --> 00:11:48.786 align:middle and go to the pop concert series. 00:11:49.516 -->

game of the season and by that time, 00:12:32.586 --> 00:12:34.606 align:middle the basketball season is in full swing. 00:12:34.716 --> 00:12:37.556 align:middle Hoosier hysteria originated at IU. 00:12:37.556 --> 00:12:40.206 align:middle And the home of the hurrying Hoosiers is the IU assembly hall. 00:12:40.796 --> 00:12:44.076 align:middle With almost 17,000 seats, there's room for half the student body 00:12:44.076 --> 00:12:48.506 align:middle to attend the various sports events, as well as pop concerts and commencement ceremonies. 00:12:50.776 --> 00:12:53.826 align:middle The basketball halftimes are as good as the games themselves. 00:12:53.826 --> 00:12:56.846 align:middle They highlight the many extracurricular activities at IU. 00:12:57.246 --> 00:12:59.726 align:middle Today the modern dance company from the hyper department, 00:12:59.976 --> 00:13:02.236 align:middle along with the singing Hoosiers di the halftime. 00:13:02.826 --> 00:13:05.976 align:middle At IU, athletic performance is just a part of the well-rounded individual. 00:13:06.516 --> 00:13:31.516 align:middle [ Music ] 00:13:32.516 --> 00:13:38.516 align:middle [ Applause ]

00:13:57.186 align:middle There are teams from all over the campus taking part in every conceivable kind of outdoor 00:13:57.186 --> 00:14:00.976 align:middle and indoor recreational facility, aimed at developing physically fit young men and women. 00:14:01.516 --> 00:14:46.516 align:middle [ Drumroll ] 00:14:47.516 --> 00:14:52.836 align:middle [ Background Noise ] 00:14:53.336 --> 00:14:55.896 align:middle [Male student:] Big appetites are also a part of a big university. 00:14:56.596 --> 00:14:59.776 align:middle IU was the first university to finance student resident halls. 00:14:59.966 --> 00:15:03.526 align:middle And as a result, has one of the most extensive and modern systems in the country. 00:15:04.086 --> 00:15:06.436 align:middle Its cafeterias serve hundreds of students daily. 00:15:06.686 --> 00:15:08.406 align:middle And nobody eats like college kids. 00:15:09.126 --> 00:15:10.746 align:middle Opinions on dorm food vary. 00:15:11.056 --> 00:15:14.416 align:middle It seems to depend on how you ate before you came to campus. 00:15:14.416 --> 00:15:16.276 align:middle If you're used to having wine and caviar, 00:15:16.626 --> 00:15:18.866 align:middle then you might have some trouble adjusting to dorm food. 00:15:19.266 --> 00:15:23.626 align:middle But there are a variety of hot and cold drinks, including soda pop served with every meal. 00:15:24.076 --> 00:15:26.876 align:middle And the well balanced menus allow you to have as much vegetables, 00:15:26.876 --> 00:15:29.256 align:middle salad, and dessert as you can eat. 00:15:29.536 --> 00:15:34.646 align:middle The cafeteria serves a continental breakfast, along with 3 meals a day, except Sunday evenings 00:15:34.686 --> 00:15:38.176 align:middle when students can either dine out with their friends or try their own hand 00:15:38.176 --> 00:15:39.986 align:middle at cooking in the dormitory kitchenettes. 00:15:40.636 --> 00:15:42.976 align:middle But more than anything else, meal time is a time to meet people. 00:15:43.516 --> 00:15:45.516 align:middle [ Background Noise ] 00:15:46.516 --> 00:15:48.566 align:middle [ Inaudible ] 00:15:49.066 --> 00:15:50.906 align:middle [Female student:] Oh, that's one of the committees that's for the [inaudible]. 00:15:50.906 --> 00:15:52.616 align:middle It's located in the [inaudible] building. 00:15:53.266 --> 00:15:55.796 align:middle They have several committees, [inaudible] for the black students. 00:15:56.216 --> 00:15:57.686 align:middle They have the flea market. 00:15:58.196 --> 00:16:00.356 align:middle They sponsor pop concerts. 00:16:00.696 --> 00:16:03.766 align:middle They have applications to be filled out, usually at the end of the semester. 00:16:03.766 --> 00:16:08.106 align:middle And you apply for a position, and it's really a rewarding experience. 00:16:09.296 --> 00:16:12.926 align:middle [Male student:] The union building is the hub of activity on campus, especially during the week. 00:16:12.926 --> 00:16:15.916 align:middle Students usually get to know its bookstore first, 00:16:15.916 --> 00:16:18.786 align:middle cause as soon as registration is over, you need books to go to class. 00:16:18.786 --> 00:16:21.356 align:middle The bookstore has two locations on campus 00:16:21.356 --> 00:16:23.976 align:middle but almost everything can be obtained at the main branch in the union. 00:16:24.516 --> 00:16:26.556 align:middle [ Music ] 00:16:27.056 --> 00:16:30.066 align:middle [Male student:] Professors generally have lists of the books that they'll require, 00:16:30.066 --> 00:16:32.026 align:middle and they're posted alongside the bookshelves. 00:16:32.496 --> 00:16:35.146 align:middle Shopping is easy, but always expensive. 00:16:35.336 --> 00:16:38.986 align:middle Aside from textbooks, there are numerous paperbacks for both required 00:16:38.986 --> 00:16:41.436 align:middle and leisure reading, plus a lot of other supplies 00:16:41.436 --> 00:16:43.976 align:middle that fill almost everybody's individual studying need. 00:16:44.516 --> 00:16:46.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:16:47.046 --> 00:16:50.396 align:middle [Male student:] The union also has guest facilities for parents and friends, 00:16:50.476 --> 00:16:54.966 align:middle along with barbershops, beauty salons, and cafeterias to suit any style or taste. 00:16:55.316 --> 00:16:59.826 align:middle And speaking of taste, the sugar and spice shop which specializes in wild cookies, 00:17:00.136 --> 00:17:02.426 align:middle gives the well-rounded student that little something 00:17:02.426 --> 00:17:04.756 align:middle between classes that'll round them out that much more. 00:17:04.936 --> 00:17:08.346 align:middle [Female student:] The union is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. 00:17:08.816 --> 00:17:12.156 align:middle It's where I go to relax and read up on what's going on outside of campus. 00:17:12.516 --> 00:17:15.716 align:middle [Male student:] Sometimes I can catch up on some books or study when I have an hour to kill, 00:17:15.716 --> 00:17:16.976 align:middle or grab a snack in the middle of the afternoon. 00:17:17.516 --> 00:17:29.576 align:middle [ Music ] 00:17:30.076 --> 00:17:31.776 align:middle [Female student:] Usually when I'm through with classes for the day, 00:17:31.776 --> 00:17:33.676 align:middle I can go to the commons in the union building. 00:17:34.016 --> 00:17:36.646 align:middle It's a place where I can lose myself in the crowd for a while. 00:17:37.026 --> 00:17:39.536 align:middle I usually meet my friends and kick around some extra time. 00:17:39.776 --> 00:17:41.126 align:middle There's always something going on. 00:17:41.526 --> 00:17:44.416 align:middle [Male student:] I like to play pool and cards, but there's also a craft shop 00:17:44.416 --> 00:17:47.026 align:middle and TV rooms, rifle ranges, newspaper rooms. 00:17:47.466 --> 00:17:49.256 align:middle [Female student:] The night spot on campus is the [inaudible]. 00:17:49.616 --> 00:17:52.906 align:middle It's kind of a campus nightclub where young talent can try their hand 00:17:52.906 --> 00:17:54.806 align:middle at all kinds of performing and entertainment. 00:17:55.516 --> 00:17:58.026 align:middle [ Music ] 00:17:58.526 --> 00:18:00.646 align:middle [Male student:] A lot of people take a look at the size of this campus 00:18:00.646 --> 00:18:02.146 align:middle and get the idea that it's too big. 00:18:02.876 --> 00:18:06.646 align:middle Mostly, it's kids that had a car in high school or had their parents drive them everywhere. 00:18:07.486 --> 00:18:11.656 align:middle The problem with a big campus like IU, is not that there isn't enough time to get places, 00:18:12.006 --> 00:18:15.356 align:middle but that you have to learn to make best use of the time you have. 00:18:15.426 --> 00:18:17.566 align:middle You have to learn to budget your time and everything. 00:18:17.566 --> 00:18:22.886 align:middle There is a bus service on campus with 4 or 5 routes, and they run almost every 10 minutes. 00:18:23.576 --> 00:18:26.996 align:middle It's really the best means of transportation in any weather. 00:18:26.996 --> 00:18:29.096 align:middle [Female student:] A lot of kids ride motorcycles in good weather, 00:18:29.096 --> 00:18:30.736 align:middle but that doesn't work well in the winter. 00:18:31.031 --> 00:18:33.031 align:middle [ Music ] 00:18:33.046 --> 00:18:34.856 align:middle [Female student:] I hadn't ridden a bike since I was a kid, 00:18:35.006 --> 00:18:37.796 align:middle but it was the best investment I made when I came to campus. 00:18:38.516 --> 00:18:40.616 align:middle [ Music ] 00:18:41.116 --> 00:18:41.666 align:middle [Male student:] I had a bike for a while, 00:18:41.666 --> 00:18:44.136 align:middle but I'm a pretty fast walker and I need the exercise. 00:18:44.136 --> 00:18:46.956 align:middle In fact, with all the time I spend in class and studying, 00:18:46.956 --> 00:18:48.686 align:middle if I don't walk to class I'd never get off my [inaudible]. 00:18:48.686 --> 00:18:52.126 align:middle I walk when I go anywhere on campus. 00:18:52.126 --> 00:18:53.886 align:middle There's too much traffic to do anything else. 00:18:54.006 --> 00:18:56.786 align:middle I mean, you'd really have to be crazy to want to drive on this campus. 00:18:56.786 --> 00:18:59.976 align:middle [Female student:] Learning in college is more of an experience. 00:19:00.036 --> 00:19:03.096 align:middle You're not so much taking in information, as you're learning how 00:19:03.096 --> 00:19:05.446 align:middle to work with the information you have. 00:19:05.516 --> 00:19:08.026 align:middle You're learning how to think, how to reason logically, 00:19:08.026 --> 00:19:10.766 align:middle how to create within a structured system. 00:19:10.766 --> 00:19:14.026 align:middle How to learn, as well as what to learn, is very important. 00:19:14.236 --> 00:19:17.016 align:middle That's really the whole difference between high school and college. 00:19:17.156 --> 00:19:21.806 align:middle Like in high school, nobody cared what you knew as long as you were somebody. 00:19:21.806 --> 00:19:25.676 align:middle On campus, no one cares who you are unless you know something. 00:19:25.676 --> 00:19:28.576 align:middle It's what you contribute and how you learn best. 00:19:28.576 --> 00:19:32.146 align:middle For instance, I like small groups like seminars or colloquiums. 00:19:32.146 --> 00:19:34.216 align:middle That's why I got into my honor seminar. 00:19:34.216 --> 00:19:38.446 align:middle Small classes give me a chance to express myself more often. 00:19:38.446 --> 00:19:40.826 align:middle I like exploring new ideas with other people. 00:19:40.856 --> 00:19:42.546 align:middle But a lot of kids would rather have a lecture class. 00:19:42.626 --> 00:19:48.456 align:middle Lectures can present a lot of material to a lot of people in a relatively short span of time. 00:19:48.786 --> 00:19:52.936 align:middle [Male teacher:] That when you understand what controls kids behavior, and you have some idea 00:19:52.936 --> 00:19:56.416 align:middle about it, then you want to go ahead with a well-defined and planned program. 00:19:56.566 --> 00:20:01.826 align:middle And not just leave it up to vague and ambiguous sources of control, 00:20:01.826 --> 00:20:04.566 align:middle since the behavior will be controlled anyway. 00:20:04.696 --> 00:20:04.826 align:middle Yeah. 00:20:04.856 --> 00:20:08.066 align:middle [Male student:] Is that what happens to the college freshmen when they come down here? 00:20:08.066 --> 00:20:11.946 align:middle I mean, they're all of a sudden turned loose on the environment to do what they want. 00:20:12.051 --> 00:20:14.051 align:middle [ Laughter ] 00:20:14.086 --> 00:20:18.276 align:middle [Male teacher:] Is it a matter of being, yeah, what is being turned loose on the environment? 00:20:18.276 --> 00:20:20.926 align:middle If that means that the sources of control are different 00:20:20.926 --> 00:20:22.766 align:middle from what they were before, I guess so. 00:20:23.386 --> 00:20:27.116 align:middle But you know, once you recognize that the behavior is controlled anyway, that your kids 00:20:27.116 --> 00:20:31.926 align:middle or someone else's behavior is going to be controlled by certain stimuli and contingencies, 00:20:32.286 --> 00:20:34.876 align:middle then that recognition has some implications I think. 00:20:35.086 --> 00:20:36.326 align:middle At least, you know, I'm taking... 00:20:36.326 --> 00:20:37.966 align:middle [Male student:] Mama and papa aren't watching anymore, 00:20:37.966 --> 00:20:40.666 align:middle and they can pretty much do and go, and come as they please. 00:20:40.666 --> 00:20:41.866 align:middle [Male teacher:] Not as they please. 00:20:41.916 --> 00:20:45.276 align:middle As other controlling variables determine. 00:20:45.686 --> 00:20:52.346 align:middle You know, as they please again, puts some autonomy and free will and choice in a person. 00:20:52.376 --> 00:20:57.566 align:middle So that your behavior isn't controlled by mommy and daddy, it's controlled by other people, 00:20:57.566 --> 00:21:01.106 align:middle by other situations, by grades instead of other things. 00:21:01.666 --> 00:21:06.086 align:middle By you know, reference groups, by fraternities, by you know, who knows what? 00:21:06.346 --> 00:21:07.466 align:middle But it's still controlled. 00:21:07.466 --> 00:21:08.976 align:middle It's no less controlled. 00:21:09.516 --> 00:21:15.856 align:middle [ Bell RInging ] 00:21:16.356 --> 00:21:19.726 align:middle [Female student:] Most lectures are a basic presentation of the tools needed to work 00:21:19.726 --> 00:21:21.706 align:middle in smaller discussion sections or labs. 00:21:22.166 --> 00:21:24.036 align:middle They're done with large numbers of students 00:21:24.036 --> 00:21:26.626 align:middle because there just isn't a lot to discuss within the material. 00:21:27.106 --> 00:21:29.676 align:middle The kind of class usually determines the size it is. 00:21:30.256 --> 00:21:32.546 align:middle Large and small classes both have their place. 00:21:33.396 --> 00:21:37.266 align:middle [Male student:] There are some things in college that should disturb you. 00:21:37.856 --> 00:21:40.956 align:middle Some people come to campus with the idea that a university is going 00:21:40.956 --> 00:21:45.066 align:middle to help them solve all their problems, get them a better job, or make them rich 00:21:45.066 --> 00:21:46.356 align:middle and comfortable when they retire. 00:21:46.886 --> 00:21:50.456 align:middle Well, universities don't exist to solve people's problems for them. 00:21:50.816 --> 00:21:54.426 align:middle Now they may solve a few problems in the process, but that's not why they exist. 00:21:54.966 --> 00:21:58.246 align:middle All the university attempts to do is make the individual more aware 00:21:58.246 --> 00:22:00.126 align:middle of the problems that already exist. 00:22:00.536 --> 00:22:05.056 align:middle It develops your senses, gives you a feeling for being objective in a situation. 00:22:05.506 --> 00:22:09.646 align:middle It affords you the opportunity to expand your potential as a person. 00:22:10.516 --> 00:22:12.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:22:13.046 --> 00:22:16.306 align:middle [Female student:] Attention isn't all focused on lecture halls and classrooms, 00:22:16.306 --> 00:22:18.636 align:middle sometimes I spend all afternoon in a chemistry lab. 00:22:19.466 --> 00:22:22.206 align:middle Science is based on research and lots of practical experience. 00:22:22.426 --> 00:22:23.316 align:middle That's what I like. 00:22:23.496 --> 00:22:24.636 align:middle Working it out by myself. 00:22:25.306 --> 00:22:27.616 align:middle Learning the method as well as the theory. 00:22:27.616 --> 00:22:30.406 align:middle [Male student:] To some people, biology and chemistry is just a maze 00:22:30.406 --> 00:22:32.866 align:middle of glassware, test tubes, and foaming liquids. 00:22:32.866 --> 00:22:36.686 align:middle What they don't realize, is that practical application is as much a part 00:22:36.686 --> 00:22:39.796 align:middle of learning science, as speaking is a part of communication. 00:22:39.796 --> 00:22:43.406 align:middle [Female student:] It's a very logically structured system. 00:22:43.576 --> 00:22:47.146 align:middle You start with chem and biology, then biochemistry, 00:22:47.146 --> 00:22:48.836 align:middle and microbiology, physics, anatomy... 00:22:49.516 --> 00:22:55.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:22:56.046 --> 00:22:57.186 align:middle [Female student:] Science is a discipline that teaches how 00:22:57.186 --> 00:22:59.476 align:middle to rationally and analytically solve problems. 00:22:59.926 --> 00:23:02.616 align:middle With all the new high-speed technology around, 00:23:02.696 --> 00:23:04.836 align:middle scientists have to know more than just their own field. 00:23:05.536 --> 00:23:10.526 align:middle A knowledge of computer languages for instance, enables students doing research to explore ideas 00:23:10.526 --> 00:23:12.646 align:middle which 20 years ago, might have taken a lifetime. 00:23:12.886 --> 00:23:14.836 align:middle [Male student:] It's not the numbers and formulas 00:23:14.836 --> 00:23:17.106 align:middle that are important, it's how they're used. 00:23:17.386 --> 00:23:19.796 align:middle Their relationships to each other and what they represent. 00:23:19.936 --> 00:23:21.926 align:middle Most of the time, they represent people. 00:23:22.516 --> 00:24:35.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:24:36.046 --> 00:24:38.836 align:middle [Female student:] Things that happen on campus are sometimes pretty spontaneous. 00:24:39.106 --> 00:24:41.436 align:middle Time goes so fast, that every once 00:24:41.436 --> 00:24:45.156 align:middle in a while you wonder what happened to last week or last month. 00:24:45.156 --> 00:24:47.296 align:middle The [inaudible] are about the way you can watch the time go by. 00:24:47.296 --> 00:24:51.086 align:middle Or like Brown County State Park is just a few miles from here. 00:24:51.086 --> 00:24:54.866 align:middle And in the fall this place is so beautiful, cause it's just full of trees. 00:24:55.516 --> 00:25:25.886 align:middle [ Music ] 00:25:26.386 --> 00:25:30.246 align:middle [Male student:] The IU campus in the fall is one of the most beautiful places in the country. 00:25:30.906 --> 00:25:34.046 align:middle Studying in such a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere is part 00:25:34.046 --> 00:25:36.476 align:middle of what makes learning a really enjoyable experience. 00:25:36.686 --> 00:25:39.886 align:middle Some other ways to learning are the libraries on campus. 00:25:40.516 --> 00:25:45.546 align:middle [ Music ] 00:25:46.046 --> 00:25:49.146 align:middle [Male student:] The main library serves undergraduates, graduates, and faculty, 00:25:49.356 --> 00:25:52.246 align:middle along with many smaller libraries all over campus. 00:25:52.426 --> 00:25:57.086 align:middle It gives tours all during the year to help students get acquainted with its vast resources. 00:25:57.296 --> 00:26:00.766 align:middle There's an awful lot available, but to work effectively you have 00:26:00.766 --> 00:26:05.516 align:middle to first spend some time there and get to know the building and its system. 00:26:05.516 --> 00:26:08.706 align:middle There's a periodical room and a section for government publications. 00:26:08.776 --> 00:26:12.606 align:middle There's a room with microfilms of old things like newspapers and documents, 00:26:12.606 --> 00:26:15.906 align:middle and there's a listening area with a collection of non-musical types 00:26:15.906 --> 00:26:18.936 align:middle like famous speeches and dramatic readings. 00:26:18.936 --> 00:26:23.356 align:middle Special books placed on reserve by professors can also be used once you learn the procedure. 00:26:23.726 --> 00:26:27.586 align:middle But even with all the aids, there is no substitute for studying. 00:26:27.586 --> 00:26:29.826 align:middle It's just a process of budgeting the time to do it. 00:26:29.826 --> 00:26:34.196 align:middle And with the classes during the day, burning the midnight oil long into the night is a fact 00:26:34.196 --> 00:26:35.976 align:middle of life, and nothing new to IU students. 00:26:36.516 --> 00:26:48.576 align:middle [ Bells Clanging ] 00:26:49.076 --> 00:26:52.336 align:middle [Female student:] With the variety and change of activities at IU, 00:26:52.336 --> 00:26:54.756 align:middle it's sometimes difficult to attend to the task at hand. 00:26:54.756 --> 00:26:58.936 align:middle It's been said that if a student never attended a class on campus, 00:26:58.936 --> 00:27:03.026 align:middle he could receive an education just by attending all the extracurricular activities. 00:27:03.456 --> 00:27:05.946 align:middle
