They are the first group of students to experience the Gateway Colloquium, a new general edu-cation requirement that focuses on writing. The Gateway Colloquium replaces the Expository Writing and Freshman Seminar require-ments. Gateway's focus is to help stu-dents make the transition from high school writing to the demands of college writing. The classes require students to write essays on a topic which each instructor chooses. The classes offer a wide array of topics, from "Lincoln and the Civil War" to "Ghandi" to "The American Occupation of Japan." With many topics to choose from, almost all the freshmen found a few areas that interested them. However, some could not get into the class of their choice.

Millikin explained, "We are both interested and devot-ed to women's issues and thought it would be great to do a show together on that topic."

The guest speaker will be Debra Wood, the new dean of students. The Oct. 21 show will feature a presentation about IWU's Women's Studies Program by director Carol Myscofski.

"Beat Big Blue! was a big success," said sophomore Jodi Edwards, chair of the Homecoming committee. The stu-dents that secretly carried the awards pre-sented over sixty prizes to students who yelled "Beat Big Blue!" on Monday. "We were pleased with the turnout ... people got excited about it," Edwards said. She added that not all students knew about the contest because this was its first year, but as students heard friends yelling "Beat Big Blue!" they learned about the competition. The talent show on Tuesday night was also a success, Edwards said. There was a larger turnout than last year and half of the audience in the Main Lounge was forced to stand because there weren't enough chairs. "Some of [the skits] really had some talent and people really put time into them," said Edwards. The first place prize was awarded to a group of five male students that indepen-dently entered the competition with no residence hall affiliation. They called themselves "In Sync" and sang acapella.
