Fr. Eric Mellum flashes a cool glance at the camera as he is interrupted by a photographer. New Bra-less Freshman Fun twin mihmiii mi Defying the force of gravity, Fr. John Dorsch climbs the walls in Slocum. But, He may not be Tom Cruise, but Fr. Dan how is he going to get down? Laukitis spends time shooting pool. ream Picture this: four hundred screaming freshmen all trying to get their hartds on one small ice- cream cone. Then, add fifty screaming upperclassmen try- ing to sign freshmen up for their clubs. That was the Ice Cream Social! There was enough ice cream to go around and that, in itself, con- stituted a success. But, there was also, a record number of freshmen showed, even though the social contested Dollar night. There were booths from every CC gang and then some. CCCA member Soph. Jon-Mark Patter- son ' s screaming on the mike couldn ' t be ignored. One favorite was the Spanish House and its display of nachos and salsa. (We never did find the elusive recipe.) BACCHUS received an honorable men- tion for their pretty yellow key rings.

Concerned with world-wide prejudice, Freshman Orientation Week gave many newcomers a chance to get to know each other. But, freshman fun didn ' t actually take off until Freshman Olympics: there were skits and songs performed by teams like the Predators, a moving statue contest, a simon says game, and a water-fight contest (a few bra-less women won the attention of males).

Rob Seims had a visit from a stripper; while Fr. Jim Smith was attacked, dressed in women ' s clothing, and dragged through the halls of Mathias. Summer-starts got really close, said Fr. Leah Glenn. Less than two-hundred students filled the halls of Slocum, holding parties on the sun deck, lunching at Poor Dick ' s, spending Saturdays at the Gods, and biking the way-out areas of the Springs. Summer session was always more laid-back than the regular school year.

All freshman agreed that college was more fun than they hoped. — Katherine Hufford
