Michael Sobolewski
	Major: Mechanical Engineering Hometown: Naperville, IL Room Number: 204 baby! Activities: Student International Business Council, Eucharistic Minister, Sports of all kinds Favorite old school Nickelodeon show: Rocket Power. While Rocket Power was one of the newest of the "old school" Nickelodeon shows, I always loved watching Otto, Reggie, Twister, and Sam pull off stunts that most humans, let alone 9 year olds, can never pull off. Also, Legends of the Hidden Temple comes in a close 2nd place. Advice: You have the wonderful opportunity to live in Carroll Hall. You are the few, the proud, the Vermin. Embrace it.
