As I followed the presidential election over the summer - the negative ads, Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East and Europe, the growing excitement over the potential vice-presidential nominees and the seesawing polls, I grew nervous.

Without Election Central, I know that a lot of you were starved for political news this summer. If it makes you feel any better, you didn't miss a whole lot. There was a lot of talk about celebrity, homes, Germans, arugula, Hawaii, and Paris Hilton. It was as serious as it sounds.

Three years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Mother Nature pulled another fast one on the Gulf Coast - 150 mph fast. Gustav, the second major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, formed as a tropical depression on the morning of Aug. 25 off the coast of Haiti. Rapidly strengthening into a tropical storm that afternoon, Gustav survived a brief period of disorganization to develop a well-defined eye wall that same night. In the early hours of Aug. 26, multiple hurricane-hunter aircrafts confirmed that, with winds topping 90 mph, Gustav had become a full-fledged hurricane.

When Brown welcomed the majority of the class of 2012 for Orientation, nearly an eighth of the class had arrived four days before to participate in the Third World Transition Program. Despite the Third World Center's best efforts to publicize the event, many first years will not learn of the program until they begin unpacking boxes and carrying fridges up crowded staircases, only to notice that some of their classmates have already settled into the dorms.

Now that the beds have been bunked and the posters have been set up, dormitory life has finally set in. Mom and Dad have driven away, and as they drive away you now know what freedom truly is. For many of you, this is your first time away from home other than summer camp a few years ago.
