It has been 10 years since Lechner first housed students, and the Honors department decided the anniver sary would be the perfect time for a reunion. Heidi Bludau, an adviser in the Honors Office and former res ident of Lechner Hall, is coordi nating the reunion. “The idea of having a reunion really sparked some interest in the Honors Department,” he said, “and an anniversary this year seemed like a perfect time to have it.” Bludau said they are expecting a good turnout for the first reunion. “We sent out invitations to everyone we had addresses for,” Bludau said, “which was around 1,500 former and present residents, and we are expecting around 250 people to come. That doesn’t seem like many, but it is a good start.” Sam Keen, the president of Lechner Hall and a freshman chemical engineering major, said he is looking forward to the reunion. “I think it is a really great idea,” Keen said. “We get to see all of the students that were here before us. We get to see where they ended up and perhaps where we might end up. The for mer residents are like a pilot pro gram for us, and we can see some of what is in store for us.” Bludau said the reunion will be more of a family reunion than just a dorm reunion. “The honors students form close bonds at Lechner, and we become a family,” he said. “The former residents coming back will see some of their traditions carried on, and they will be able to see what has changed.” Keen said the reunion should be helpful for the freshmen this year. “They will be able to see how other Lechner residents succeed ed,” Keen said. “It will fire them up and help them focus on their studies. 1 really hope this becomes an annual event.” The reunion will be held Sat urday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the east side of the Academic Building. There will be a barbe cue, and at 4:30 Dr. Finnell, exec utive director of the Honors Pro gram, will introduce some of Walter Lechner’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
