Freshman Orientation Easing The Transition From High School To College What does one say to the freshman who arrives on a college campus be- wildered and apprehensive and prob- ably away from home for the first time? We here at Lambuth say Ori- entation, a time in which new stu- dents get to know the campus and its many facets through the leadership of upperclassmen, professors, admin- istration, and staff. From the adminis- trative viewpoint, orientation, con- sists of a series of programs, picnics, and assemblies designed to introduce the newcomers to the academic inten- tions of Lambuth, to make known the locations of buildings and the services each provides, and make each student comfortable in his her new home away from home. But . . . from the new students ' point of view, orienta- tion consists of three to four days of mass confusion . . . the ordeal begins with meeting 50 million people at one time (immediately forgetting each name they temporarily learned), then continues with trying to get all their personal belongings up to the third floor (with a minimum of breakage!), crying, laughing, and finally attempt- ing to find new friends all at the same time. The whole event culminates with a reception and dance . . . All in all, emotions run high, activity is a must, but all is rewarded with lasting friendships, inspirational memories, new experiences, and an abundance of learning, both academic and social.

Please sign here Just when the newly arrived stu- dent has settled himself into his new home and it appears that the hectic and uncertain moments of beginning college life are over, then comes REG- ISTRATION. Although upperclass- men have become accustomed to the trials and tribulations of waiting in long lines, finding the different de- pa rtmental stations, going to the com- puter center, and waiting forever and a day to have their financial aid ap- proved, those students who have nev- er been through this maze find regis- tration to be a day of seemingly end- less frustration. You do exactly what you are told to do. You sign anything and everything anyone places in front of you. You may even wonder, briefly, if a college education is worth all the hassle. Still, even though registration is a long, tiring experience, it presents a good opportunity for meeting facul- ty members and fellow students. And, if nothing else, at least you will have your social security number thor- oughly memorized at the end of this long, grueling day. Tony Stephens BELOW — Mary Counce selects courses for fall term.
