Omaha Symphony on the Mall On Sept. 15, the S.B.G. sponsored Music on the Mall. It was a back to school event which attempted to combine culture with aspects of a social event. The Omaha Symphony performed, providing a variety of music for everyone ' s entertainment. Saga also got into the act, serving a picnic din- ner which attracted over 500 students. We tried to think of an event which everyone could enjoy, S.B.G. President Joe Kelly said. We in- vited students, faculty, ad- ministrators and the general public to come to the event. It was a unique experience for all who attended, a chance to enjoy good music, food and the beautiful atmosphere on the mall. It was a great way to welcome everyone back and throw in a little culture at the same time, Kelly said. Top left: What are friends for?

A ' ' ' GeflOTSJ n«rv -. A freshman ' s view New adventures awaited as the freshmen were introduced to academics via the president and respective deans. Also introduced that day were the adviser, group leaders and groupies of his or her own seminar class. A wild and wet pool party concluded the scheduled events but off-campus fun was abound. Wednesday was smile for the camera day. The key to Creighton, the ID card, was made and issued to the freshmen. Just think how proud mom would be if she could have seen us then. Oh, how do I register? Those words ran through the many scatter- brained freshmen because Thursday was registration day. But the group leaders and advisers, great gurus that they were, eased the minds of the troubled freshmen with great words of encouragement. On Friday, the event was plann- ed. It was two hours of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Grueling competition went on in every event ranging from Dizzy Izzy to a balloon toss. The heat of the day was just too much for some freshmen, so they stripped down to nothing but a sheet. Yes, you guessed it; it was toga time. Many fine goddesses adorned the fountain in their multi-colored spectrum of sheets. There were even a couple of designer toga originals. Saturday was the end of an era and so it was fitting that parties could be found all over campus. The freshmen ended a week of welcome to begin a year of work. The most important aspect of Welcome Week was the friends that were made. A special and unique bond was formed between freshmen and the Creighton community.
