Those who never heard about the nuclear release which caused the potato tree to grow or the mov- ing of Bunche Hall to save lives of motorists on the 405, or the deliberate effort to make Franz Hall and the inverted fountain look like a giant toilet bowl missed out on one of the most vivid first im- pressions new students have of UCLA: Orienta- tion. During the summer, thousands of incoming freshmen and transfer students spent approx- imately three days learn- ing the mysteries of registration, receiving ac- ademic counseling, and becoming familiarized with all aspects of UCLA campus life. The pro- blems, benefits, lifestyle and academics of UCLA were approached in a realistic manner. I was so afraid to come here! Orientation helped me gain the knowledge and con- fidence that let me know I could succeed, said freshman Carey Coon. Whether this con- fidence came from Orien- tation Director Chip Anderson ' s motivational speeches or from the workshops students at- tended, it lead to a spirit of excitement and pride: pride in first just getting accepted, and then becoming a part of UCLA. Freshman Erin Stolz said, I was so excited about UCLA, and so hap- py, I didn ' t even want to go back home when Ori- entation was over. I just wanted to stay! -Rachel Furnish 18 Orientation
