Orientation Prepares Freshmen Incoming students became better prepared for their first fall term by attending one of the two orientations held on cam- pus during the summer. Two weekends were set aside to equip these students for the enrollment process and campus life. One of the major happenings during orientation was the room rush. Many students stood in line for hours waiting to obtain the room of their choice. Living quarters for this home away from home seemed important to those planning to set- tle in here. Once school started, freshmen had the chance to get re- acquainted with friends they had met at orientation and to get to know new ones at a party held for them on September 1. Freshmen advisors are introduced to students. Scott King, freshman, watches the enter- tainment at the freshman class party. Student Life □ 21

Seniors Triumph in Ollies Follies Aah September!! Summer has been temporarily postponed, and school lurks just around the corner. With its inescapable arrival comes the unbearable heat on fourth-floor Burke, Indian Summer afternoons spent stu- dying under a tree, long walks at dusk, and who could forget — Ollies Follies! For two days each September, studies are put on ice and everyone joins in the festivities. On Friday night we contested to see which class could cheer loudest between reels of The Nutty Professor. Saturday was passed playing football, volleyball, spit- ting seeds, hula hooping, slurping rootbeer, racing around in shopping carts, playing Egyptian pyramid builders, and pulling tug-of-war losers through a mud pit. Then, in the evening we entertained each other with songs, magic, and skits. Overall, the seniors finished first, with the sophomores in second. Juniors finished third even though they did win the skit competition. And, freshmen came in last even though they were victorious in tug-of-war. — Rene Miles Student Life □ 23
